Chapter 11

Email

From: Finn Hudson

To: Rachel Berry, Sam Evans, Blaine Anderson, Kurt Hummel, Noah Puckerman, Mike Chang, Tina Cohen-Chang, Santana Lopez, Brittany Pierce, Ana Garcia, Claire Abbott, and 28 others

Hey guys!

As you all should know, the most amazing woman in the world just turned 19 yesterday. Since her birthday was in the middle of the week, we decided we're throwing her a party on Saturday at Ana Garcia's house right outside of the University of Connecticut campus. The address to the house is attached.

The party is on Saturday starting at 7. I hope you all can come!

Thanks!

Finn

"That does not sound like something you would write," Quinn laughed as she read the email. "'I hope you all can come! Thanks!' Really, Finn? It sounds like Tina or Ana wrote it and you just signed your name on it." Finn looked down, laughing at himself. "Oh my God, Finn." She laughed, shaking her head.

"Okay, in my defense, if I had written that, there would be, like, triple the spelling and grammar errors." Finn shrugged.

"Technically, there aren't any spelling or grammar errors and you can't really multiply zero by three so there still wouldn't be any spelling or grammar errors," Quinn explained.

Finn stared at her for a second and then laughed. "Yale is turning you into a nerd."

Quinn rolled her eyes and shoved his arm.

New York City

Rachel stared at her computer screen in shock while she read through the email. "Kurt, come here."

Kurt walked into the room and looked at the screen. "Oh, you just got that? I got it 10 minutes ago."

"I've been staring at it in shock for 10 minutes."

"Oh, that makes more sense," Kurt nodded. "So why are you so shocked you're invited to Quinn's birthday party? You guys are friends. Or at least you were friends in high school until the end. Didn't you guys talk it out at that football game you went to in Connecticut?"

Rachel sighed. "Yeah that didn't happen. I said that just to make you stop bugging me about it. Do you even want to go to that stupid party? Blaine and Sam are visiting for spring break and they're going to be here on Friday night. It would be kind of rude to leave."

"Blaine and Sam are invited, too," Kurt shrugged. "Come on, Rach, it'll be fun. Let's just do it."

"Fine."

"Quinn, come here," Finn yelled while he read through the messages.

Quinn walked into the room. "What's up?"

"Rachel and Sam are coming to the party," Finn sighed. "I only invited them to be nice, I was hoping they wouldn't come."

"Awesome," Quinn smiled. "It's going to be great. Is Puck coming?"

Finn didn't reply but his smile turned into a frown slowly when she asked and then he shook his head. "I'm sorry, Q."

Quinn sighed a little and then shook it off and put a smile back on. "So Blaine and Kurt are coming? And Mike and Tina? That's great," she tried to smile but Finn could tell it was fake. "Thank you for doing this for me. It's going to be fun, I'm sure."

Ana Garcia's House

Rachel, Kurt, Blaine, and Sam walked into the house and immediately found Finn and Quinn standing near the entryway. "Yay! I can't believe you guys are here!" Quinn grinned widely and ran over to hug them.

"It's nice to see you again, Quinn," Rachel nodded and halfheartedly hugged her back.

"Happy birthday," Sam said while hugging Quinn.

When Quinn finally got to Kurt and Blaine she hugged them both tightly, smiling. "I'm so glad you guys came! Thank you so much! Okay so the food is over there and the drinks are in the fridge. If you need any help finding anything you can ask Ana, she's…I don't know, she's somewhere. Finn, where's Ana?"

"I don't know," Finn shrugged, walking over to them. "Hey Kurt, Blaine. Nice to see you, Sam. Rachel."

Kurt and Blaine both hugged Finn and Sam shook his hand. Rachel just nodded.

"I'm sorry, Quinn, I got distracted talking to Tina. I heard my name, what's up?" Ana said, running over to them.

"Ana, these are our friends from high school. That's Kurt, Blaine, Sam, and Rachel," Quinn explained. "This is Ana, she goes to school with Finn. She's a cheerleader."

"Nice to meet you guys," Ana smiled. "If you need anything, just find me or Finn and we'll help you."

The party went on smoothly until everyone was there and Quinn and Rachel started drinking. Sophia was at home with Santana so Rachel didn't have to worry about her. Quinn was staying over at Ana's so she didn't have to drive. Actually, the only guests who weren't drinking were Kurt and Finn. "Finn…" Quinn laughed, stumbling over to Finn and dragging a brunette girl with her. "Finn this is my roommate, her name is Claire, she goes to Yale…oh wait, I already said that," she giggled and ran off, leaving Claire with Finn.

"Hi, I'm Finn," Finn nodded.

"Claire," Claire smiled.

"So you're the roommate Quinn told me about? I've heard a lot of good things about you," he smiled.

Claire smirked and rested her hand on Finn's shoulder. "Yeah, I heard a lot about you, too." She grinned and leaned in to kiss him.

"Finn?" Rachel asked, frowning when she saw him with Claire. "So you're not with Quinn but you're hooking up with some Yale slut now?"

"Excuse me?" Claire asked, facing Rachel. In Rachel's defense, Claire was kind of dressed like a slutty college girl.

"No, it's not like that, we just met," Finn said, turning towards Rachel. "And what if we were? You're not my girlfriend, why would you care?"

"Um okay, I'm gonna leave now," Claire rolled her eyes, walking away.

"I care because I don't want my daughter around a guy who's constantly with different girls." Rachel said, raising her voice.

Finn rolled his eyes. "Your daughter? Sophia is my daughter, too, Rachel. Or did you forget that you and I almost got married last year? And Claire is Quinn's roommate, she was literally just here introducing us to each other, Claire tried to kiss me. I'm innocent."

"Yeah right, like you haven't been with anyone since we broke up."

And now was the part when Finn had to decide whether or not he should lie. He and Quinn weren't together, so there really wasn't anything to tell, other than the fact that they had hooked up several times since the breakup and never bothered to talk about the seriousness of it all. "I haven't," he said, deciding to lie. A little white lie never hurt anyone. Right? "What about you? Have you and Sam hooked up yet?"

"Why would you think that?" She asked, giving him a weird look.

Finn shrugged. "I don't know, I guess I just assumed."

"Do you want to go get something to drink?" She smirked a little, grabbing his hand and pulling him down the hall.

"How about an old fashioned game of spin the bottle?" Ana suggested, setting a bottle on the floor and watching as people sat around it. "I'll go first." She spun the bottle around and it landed on Sam. She laughed and quickly pecked him on the lips before Sam spun the bottle and it landed on Quinn.

"Um…we don't have to, it's fine," Sam mumbled quietly so no one could hear.

Quinn shrugged and gave him a quick kiss. He smiled a little when she sat back down. Quinn giggled while she spun the bottle around, hoping it would land on someone good. "Blaine Anderson, this is going to be the best kiss you will ever receive…from a girl." She laughed while she leaned in and kissed him. He held her waist while he kissed her back, getting much more into it than anybody expected.

"What's going on? I thought Blaine was gay," Ana whispered to Sam.

"He's known to turn straight when he's drunk," Sam shrugged as if it was the simplest thing in the world.

Kurt rolled his eyes and pulled Quinn and Blaine away from each other. "Blaine, do I need to remind you of a certain party at Rachel Berry's house when you were a sophomore and I was a junior?"

Blaine grinned. "Oh yeah, that night was awesome!"

Kurt frowned and grabbed Blaine, pulling him into an empty room nearby. "Blaine, what the hell is going on? I get that when you have too much to drink you're suddenly into girls but you promised that would change when you and I got back together."

Blaine suddenly felt guilty and was about to say something when his phone buzzed.

I had fun the other night. Wanna meet up? –xx Eli

Snatching Blaine's phone from his hands, Kurt angrily read the text and started stepping away slowly. "Blaine…"

"Kurt, I can…"

"Blaine, who is Eli?" Kurt asked, anger in his voice as tears filled his eyes.

Blaine looked down, wondering how he should answer. "He's just a guy, Kurt, that's all…"

"Just a guy? Really? Why does he want to meet up? And what did you two have fun doing? Tell me this isn't true, please say this is all a misunderstanding. Please say you didn't really cheat on me," Kurt said, letting a few tears fall from his eyes. Blaine was silent. "Why?"

"I…I was lonely, you were…you were so busy with school and trying to get a job and dealing with Finn and Rachel…I was so alone, Kurt, I needed you." Blaine felt his eyes begin to swell up with tears as well and Kurt started to back away.

"So talk to me. Don't cheat on me," Kurt shook his head, disappointed. "That's it, Blaine. Long distance is too hard, the only thing that used to be holding our relationship together was trust and now we don't even have that. We're done." He wiped away a tear and turned around, running off.

So this was kind of a weird chapter but trust me, it's all important for the next one. Thanks for reading!
