Disclaimers I don't own glee or the characters or any songs used in the story. I just own the plot and my oc and I changed Azimio to Almonzo as I couldn't remember his name.

Warning for this chapter. I actually cried writing some of this so be warned you might reading it.

Previously, in my life, Gaz and Finn made a truce to sort things out. Dave and Gaz had their first argument over postponing a date. Kurt forgave Finn for hitting him although Finn says he was forgiven to easily. Finn had a breakdown in the hallway which later was revealed that Finn was bipolar. That explains a lot. And that's what you missed.

Chapter 10 Meltdown and Tears.

Finn has been gone two days now. It is weird not seeing him at the dinner table scarfing his food down. I really miss him. Since he's been gone, Kurt has been really quiet and he hasn't spoken to Mercedes that much. Hell, hasn't really spoken to me either. At that point, I was going to change that. Now.

As Kurt drove us to school, I asked him what was wrong. He looked at me and really upset with tears forming in his eyes.

"Oh Gareth why did this have to happen to Finn? Did I do something to make this happen?" Kurt cried. He pulled over to the side of the road. The tears were glowing down his cheek . He pulled over to the side of the road to cry.

I wiped a tear from his cheek. "Kurt," I quietly began, "it's not your fault. . .okay?"

I pulled tissues out of my hand and handed them to Kurt. "Now dry those eyes, sort your face and let's get to school. Okay?"

Kurt dried his eyes, sorted his face and drove us to school .

Now when we got into school, I saw Marley and Kitty sitting on a bench by the main door, talking to Artie. I gave Marley and Kitty a hug and high-fived Artie . Kurt nodded and headed straight to his locker. I sat down next to Marley.

"So," Kitty gingerly began, "How's the arm G?"

"Still hurts now and again but I'll be okay. I get the cast off soon. "

There was an awkward silence which Marley decided to break.

"Um I hope you dont mind me asking Gareth but how's Finn? "

I knew I was gonna be asked this at some point. I was trying to stay strong. Especially for Kurt's sake I had to be strong. I was doing well too.

"I honestly don't know. I know he's gone to get better but that's all I know."

The bell rang. so I headed straight to home room. I sat down next to Quinn who said to me if I need to talk to someone just to call. I nodded and waited for first period bell to go so I could go to Algebra.

Today seemed to be going fast like last Friday. It was third period and as I was about to sit next to Dave, I suddenly felt the need to apologise to him.

"Dave, can we talk?" I said, as I put my bag down and my book on the desk.

"I guess? We do need to talk about us" He said nervously.

"There still is an us?" I ask

"Only if you want there to be" he sighed "Do you?"

"Of course I do. I was just being stubborn." I said, as I fiddled with a loose strap from my book bag, looking down. "And then what happened with...Finn..."

I stopped myself then and almost burst into tears. God! Guess I'm not that strong after pulls me into a hug. I pulled away slowly.

"If you need to talk I will be there"

"I know Babe just..." I struggled at what I needed to say. Suddenly, Dave's hand collapsed on mine, holding it tightly. I briefly struggled to get free, turning away, but Dave wouldn't let me. Boring holes into my head. I could feel Dave stareing at me. He wouldn't let me go!

"Gaz," Dave said brokenly, "just...say it!"

I slowly turned and looked at the sad expression on the love of my life's face. I couldn't stand the sadness. I just couldn't! I sniffed. After I grabbed some tissues from my pocket I saw people staring at me I dry my eyes then scream at everyone,

"TAKE A PICTURE IT WILL F***ING LAST LONGER"

I left English earlier only cause the teacher recommended I go see Miss Pillsbury, the school councilor. As I was heading towards Miss Pillsbury's office, I saw Puck standing near Finn's locker.

"Puck? What you doing here? " I said patting him on the shoulder

"Thinking? " He shrugged

"You know how to do that? " I laugh. It made me better that I laughed

"Gaz why did it happen to him?" Puck said slipping onto the floor, looking like he was gonna have a breakdown. I look at the floor. God! Don't they ever clean this floor.

"I can't answer that puck" I replied getting down on the dirty floor. My arm hung lazily around Puck's strong shoulders, seemingly hugging the boy. He looked sad. My heart was going out to him, but at the same time, I needed to stay strong. Stay confident. He needed me.

"Why you crying Puck?" I ask look confused at Puck "it was only last week you were beating the crap out of him"

"I feel guilty I did that as he was my bro."Puck cried. "I felt he hurt you so I was allowed to hurt him."

"Puck, just cause I got hurt doesn't really give you the right to hurt him did it?"

"Guess not." He looked at me like a lost puppy. "I hope he's gonna be okay"

Puck," I responded reassuringly, "Finn has Bipolar Disorder, not cancer. It's totally treatable. Trust me." And with that, Puck looked up at me with such boyish, pained eyes! It hurt to see him in such pain!

"Why aren't you in class? " Puck asked cheekily

"Could ask you the same question? " I cameback quick

"Touche" he nodded.

Puck got up of the floor and held his hand down to me. I got up and managed to convince Puck to come with me to the councillor's office. I could wrap Puckerman round my little finger. I really didn't care who knew it either.

As we got to Miss Pilsbury's office, I see Kurt waiting to see her too.

"Kurt?"

"Gareth? What you doing here?" He was obviously shocked to see me.

"Well I may or may not have had a little meltdown in English" I was trying to make it seem funny. It wasn't funny.

"I was skipping PE" Puck said. I totally forgot for a second he was with me.

"So?" I ask Kurt "What about you?"

"Same as you but Geography" He looked like he wanted to cry. I give him a hug and tell him to let it out which he did. We must have been there for twenty minutes when Miss Pillsbury finally saw us.

"Oh I'm so sorry I didn't see you three there"

"It's okay Miss P" Puck said "We're in no rush"

We follow her into her small office . Her office was a bit outdated if you ask me. Definitely need a coat of paint or at least decent wall paper. On her small wooden desk was a picture of Mister Schue. Wait! Why does she have a picture of him. Clearly this woman had no taste. As I sit down in a lumpy chair I wait for her to speak. Puck looked like he had somewhere better to be and Kurt was just staring up at the ceiling.

"So why can I do for you today?" She asks

I really didn't want to be here. I could have actually gone to History and learnt something but no. I came here. I look over at Puck then Kurt who looked the same I did . We looked annoyed and upset . Not at Miss Pillsbury but at the world. Miss Pillsbury was twiddling her thumbs then smiled

"You three are in glee club right?"

"What about it?" I said. Okay I was being rude but I wanted to know where she was going with this.

"Why dont you sing about your feelings? "

"That's the best you could come up" snorted Puck

I happen to think of a song "I know the perfect song." I said, a cocky look in my eye. Puck looked at me nervously while Kurt looked with mixed amusement. He should've. I made my exit to rehearse my song.

Lunch came around and an emergency glee club meeting was called. Rachel wasn't happy but I didnt care. I had to do this today or I was gonna have a mental breakdown.

"Well?" Said Mister Schue as he entered the choir room. "Miss Pillsbury tells me that someone has a song they wanted to sing."

I stood up from where I was sitting and walked towards the piano, handed Brad the music sheet and then took center of the room. I took a deep breath

"As some of you know Finn has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I have not been dealing with his absence really well."

"Where is he?" Britt asked "I can get Lord Tubbington to look for him."

I laugh to myself "It's okay Britt we know where he is."

"But why isnt he here?"

"I'll explain later Britt Britt" San said to her. I mouth 'thank you' to Santana

"So?" I continued "I thought I should sing about what I'm feeling so I don't have another meltdown like I did earlier."

The room went quiet. I took a deep breath, nodded to Brad and began my song

Oh, Why You Look So Sad? Tears are in your eyes Come on and come to me now Don't be ashamed to cry Let me see you through'cause I've seen the dark side too .

I was lookround the room. No emotion from anyone.

When the night falls on you You don't know what to do Nothing you confess could make me love you less I'll stand by you I'll stand by you

I was getting teary eyed now. I was trying to hold it all in.

Won't let nobody hurt you I'll stand by you So if you're mad, get mad Don't hold it all inside Come on and talk to me now Hey, what you got to hide? I get angry too Well I'm a lot like you

I couldn't help it. I was crying but still holding strong. Puck decided to come beside and sing too.

When you're standing at the crossroads And don't know which path to choose let me come along'cause even if you're wrong I'll stand by you I'll stand by you won't let nobody hurt you I'll stand by you Take me in, into your darkest hour and I'll never desert youI'll stand by you

I was barely keeping it together and Puck was holding me up. Kurt and Dave joined us. Dave took a hold of me while i cried into his shoulder. Kurt sang the next line

and when...When the night falls on you, baby You're feeling all alone You won't be on your own I'll stand by you

The rest of the glee club sang harmonies while Puck and Kurt finished the song.

I'll stand by you won't let nobody hurt you I'll stand by you Take me in, into your darkest hour and I'll never desert you I'll stand by you I'll stand by you won't let nobody hurt you I'll stand by you won't let nobody hurt you I'll stand by you

I couldn't believe it. I finally let everything out. Did I feel better? Not really but I would soon. All I know is I'm looking forward to getting the cast off soon.
