When Finn got home later that night, Quinn was already prepared for bed. She turned to look at him as he walked in, and then went back to what she was doing.

"I'm sorry…" he walked up to her, but she ignored him. "I understand that you're mad…" Quinn cut him off.

"Why would you do that? Not only did you mess with Rachel's feelings but you screwed with mine too. That is not okay. And you knew I've been wanting to be friends with Rachel but you had to go and screw that up too. God Finn, why did you do it?" She sat down on the couch and crossed her arms over her chest. He walked over to the couch and sat down next to her.

"I don't know.. it's not like it meant anything."

"Oh yeah and that's supposed to make me feel better right?" She huffed.

"No but, I don't know Quinn. I guess the truth is I didn't like the idea of you being with Puck," he said quietly.

"What why? You have Rachel. I'm not allowed to be happy to?" She turned to look at him.

"No that's not it; it's just he's a player and you know that. You and I have become close over the past few weeks. I don't want to see you get hurt, and I know he will hurt you. I figured if I kissed you, you'd develop feelings for me and forget about your feelings for Puck. I know that sounds stupid but I thought it was the right thing to do at the time. Boy was I wrong." He sighed and leaned back, looking over at her. She leaned over and planted a quick kiss on his cheek.

"In a way, that's kind of sweet." She slapped his shoulder, "But don't ever do it again. I know how Puck is and I know what could happen. Whatever happens is my choice and if I get hurt then I'll need to deal with that. But thank you for wanting to protect me. It means a lot to know you care so much." She smiled at him and leaned her head on his shoulder.

"I'll always care Quinn. You're one of my best friends." He wrapped his arms around her shoulder pulling her into a sideways hug.

"Wanna watch a movie?" Quinn asked.

"Sure, you can pick the movie." Quinn smirked knowing exactly which movie she wanted to watch. She stood up and pulled one out of her bag.

"Which movie did you pick?" He asked getting comfortable on the couch.

"You'll see."

"Oh not this movie," Finn rolled his eyes, "this is such a chick flick." Quinn fake gasped.

"I beg to differ! A Walk to Remember is one of the best movies of all time."

"If you say so."

About an hour into the movie, Quinn heard somebody sniffle. She looked over at Finn, who quickly wiped his eyes.

"Are you crying?" Quinn bit her lip to hide the grin that was forming.

"What? No. Why would I be crying at this movie?" He said, pretending to be tougher than he was letting off. Quinn couldn't contain her laughter anymore. She broke out in hysterics. He shoved her playfully. "If you tell anybody about this, I swear Fabray."

"You'll what?" She cocked an eyebrow in question as if his threat didn't scare her.

"You'll be sorry," he narrowed his eyes at her.

"Fine, I won't tell anybody. I'll just use it whenever I need to blackmail you." She said the last part under her breath.

"I heard that."

"Good." She stuck out her tongue at him. Once the movie was over, Finn looked over at Quinn, who had fallen asleep. He quietly turned the movie off and covered her up before going to bed.


Finn:*text* Hey Rach, what are you doing?

Rachel: *text* I have locked myself in my room and am refusing to come out.

Finn: *text* What? Why did you do that?

Rachel: *text* My father introduced me to his boyfriend today. They've been dating for a month. A month Finn! And he never even told me.

Finn: *text* I'm sorry Rach, do you need anything?
Rachel: *text* Could you please come over? I don't want to be alone right now.

Finn: *text* I'm on my way.

Rachel: *text* Just come in. The door's open.

So Finn got changed and walked over to Rachel's house. He let himself in and walked up to her room to find her laying on her bed face down.

"Rach, are you okay?" He walked over to the bed and sat down, rubbing her back comfortingly.

"No! How could he do this to me? He can't just forget Daddy like that! I thought they were in love?" Rachel sighed and turned over, keeping her hands over her face.

"I'm sure they were Rach, but don't you think your father deserves to be happy? I'm sure he's always going to love your dad," Finn comforted. He removed her hands from her face and kissed her lightly.

"I just… don't want him to forget Daddy." She laid her head in his lap.

"He won't." Finn bent down to press a kiss to Rachel's forehead as he stroked her hair.

"I know," she sighed, "I just can't believe he kept it from me. I wish he would've told me sooner."

"I'm sure he wanted to. He was probably just waiting for the right time." Rachel sat up and smiled at him. "What?" He asked after a few minutes of silence.

"You're really smart Finn." She wrapped her arms around his neck as he pulled her onto his lap. He chuckled lightly.

"You think so? Thanks. I don't get that a lot." She kissed him and pulled away to whisper against his lips.

"Well I think you should. You're very smart." She said reconnecting the kiss again.


The next afternoon as Rachel made her way to Glee club, she saw Finn and Quinn in the hallway. She thought about listening in, but then again she trusted him. So why should she? But she didn't trust her. She stood around the corner, listening in on their conversation.

"Quinn, you're beautiful, you're smart, and you're amazing; any guy would be lucky to have you." Finn laid a hand on Quinn's shoulder. She touched his hand gently.

"I doubt it but thanks Finn." They smiled at each other in a way that made Rachel's stomach turn. I trust him, I do. She leaned against the wall just as Finn turned around. He walked over to her with his hands crossed over his chest.

"What are you doing? Were you just eavesdropping?" Rachel paused, unsure of what to say.

"I-I, well not eavesdropping per say…" she stuttered.

"I thought you trusted me."

"I do it's just, I don't trust her. I mean, you're talking about all of her amazing qualities, telling her anyone would be lucky to be with her. You've never said that stuff to me Finn. What am I supposed to think?" She said with hurt apparent in her voice.

"I was helping her."

"How is telling someone they're "amazing" helping them?" She furrowed her brows.

"She was going to tell Puck about the baby. She wants to be with him. She needed encouragement. She needed a friend. That's what I was doing. God Rachel, why do you always think the worst of me? Do you think I'm that stupid to ruin my chances with you by cheating on you again? You don't seem to understand that I love you, not her. Until you do, I don't know if I can do this anymore. Relationships are built on trust and that's something that we don't have." He sighed a long, deep sigh.

"Finn… I'm sorry. I just get scared about this kind of stuff. I'll admit, I'm a little insecure. Quinn's beautiful and a cheerleader and I'm not as popular as her. Why would you want me when you could have her?" Rachel looked down at her feet, trying to hold back tears.

"Rachel, you're just as beautiful as she is. Sure she has all that stuff, but she's not you. That's the reason I don't want to be with her. You're headstrong and stubborn and always have to get your way, you're feisty and I like that about you. I like that even though you know that other people might find it annoying; you're yourself no matter what. I like how you use words that I don't even understand. I love the way you believe in me when no one else does and the way you encourage everybody even if they might not like you. I love the way you laugh. If that doesn't prove to you who I want to be with then I don't know what will." Rachel immediately cupped his face in her hands and stood on her tip toes to kiss him passionately.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry Finn. I love you. I trust you. I'm not sure what I was thinking. Sometimes my insecurities get the best of me, but I don't want that to come in between us." Before she finished talking, he cut her off with a kiss. He scooped her up in his arms and lifted her off the ground, keeping his lips against hers. After a few minutes of being in each other's arms, they walked into the choir room, hand-in-hand.

"Alright guys, who would like to come up here and perform a solo?" Mr. Schuester asked the class.

"Mr. Schue? I have a song." Finn stood up and walked to the front of the class.

"Take it away Finn." He stepped aside to let Finn take center stage. Finn took a deep breath, smiled at Rachel, and began to sing.

Oh her eyes, her eyes

Make the stars look like they're not shining

Her hair, her hair

Falls perfectly without her trying

She's so beautiful

And I tell her every day

Yeah I know, I know

When I compliment her

She won't believe me

And its so, its so

Sad to think she don't see what I see

But every time she asks me do I look okay

I say

When I see your face

There's not a thing that I would change

Cause you're amazing

Just the way you are

And when you smile,

The whole world stops and stares for awhile

Cause girl you're amazing

Just the way you are

Her lips, her lips

I could kiss them all day if she'd let me

Her laugh, her laugh

She hates but I think it's so sexy

She's so beautiful

And I tell her everyday

Oh, you know, you know, you know I'd never ask you to change

If perfect's what you're searching for, then just stay the same

So don't even bother asking if you look okay

You know I'll say

When I see your face

There's not a thing that I would change

'Cause you're amazing

Just the way you are

And when you smile

The whole world stops and stares for awhile

'Cause girl, you're amazing

Just the way you are

The way you are

The way you are

Girl, you're amazing

Just the way you are

When I see your face

There's not a thing that I would change

'Cause you're amazing

Just the way you are

And when you smile

The whole world stops and stares for awhile

'Cause girl, you're amazing

Just the way you are, yeah.

"That was good! Great job Finn!" Mr. Schuester gave him a pat on the back as he made his way back to his seat next to Rachel.

"So what'd you think?" He smirked. She laid a hand on his thigh and patted it gently.

"It was perfect. Thank you so much." She leaned her head on his shoulder as he put his arm around her. She really was perfect just the way she was. And he wouldn't want it any other way.
