Thank you to everyone who is still reading this story! Thank you so much! So this is just a little skip into their Junior year. Hope you enjoy!


Hiding My Love For You

Junior year was now in play. Not much has changed around the school. The biggest change and one of the only changes, Coach Tanaka was replaced by a female coach, Coach Bieste. No one knew what happened to Tanaka for sure but it was rumored that he had some kind of nervous breakdown, which wouldn't really be that hard to believe. She was a little hard but she made a pretty good coach, better than the old one. The Titans did win the first game of the season.

The relationship of Quinn Fabray and Noah Puckerman still seemed to be going strong. Finn Hudson and Santana Lopez used to feel this unbearable jealousy in them. But now, it seemed as if only Finn was the only one to be affected by this. So now he felt all alone with his feelings just like when he was in elementary school and at the beginning of middle school. Santana looks as if she had given up trying to be with Puck. Finn on the other hand was still way too hung up on Quinn. So hung up that most were sure that the feelings and the longing would never go away.

"Hey Finn." Someone called from behind him. He turned around to see Santana walking up to him.

"Hey San. What's up?"

"Not much. You ready for glee?" Finn nodded his head somewhat enthusiastically and they both headed to the choir room.

Santana didn't lose all interest in Puck, but enough to fall for someone else. Finn knew who of course and was really happy for her. Santana had been put through enough and deserved to love somebody. And deserved to be loved by someone. He knew that Santana wasn't ready to let anyone else know of her new crush. She wasn't the type to tell everyone. The only people who knew of her former crush had been Finn, Brittany, Mike, and Matt.

They headed inside and walked to the top right row. Santana had taken a seat next to Brittany and Finn sat next to Matt. Next to Matt was Mike who had overcome his fear and asked the girl of his dreams, Tina Cohen-Chang on a date. Fortunately for Mike, Tina reciprocated the crush. Now they resembled the perfectly happy couple.

Everyone at the table actually liked sitting at the table together. Not separately. They had grown into an extended family to all of them. These were the people you seek when you were in need of comfort. Who stood by you when you needed them. Who supported most of your decisions. Who you could trust. And most importantly, these were the people who you loved, no matter how much you fought. At the end of the day they could put away hard feelings and become the glee family.

Finn looked down the table to see Quinn sitting on Puck's lap. He had to turn away before he puked. He couldn't believe that after so many years, his heart still called for Quinn even though she was taken. They did spend some time together over the summer, slowly making progress to their old friendship but that didn't take away the fact that she was still with Puck.

"So guys, Finn and I have a special announcement." Kurt said as he stood up and walked over to Finn to pull him to the center of the room with him.

"Um...Our parents are getting married!" Finn announced trying to be as excited about it as Kurt. Don't get him wrong, he was happy that his mom found someone who made her happy. But he didn't know if he was ready to see Burt playing the step-dad card.

"Yes! You heard right. Burt Hummel and Carol Hudson are getting married!" Kurt repeated. "And you are all invited. They want a Glee Wedding!" Kurt continued talking about planning the wedding and music there should be. Finn sort of just zoned out, already knowing of the plans Kurt was talking about.

Finn, Santana, Quinn, and Puck had gotten together and headed down to the ice cream shop after school. They were able to come back full circle for the time being, back to being friends.

The four of them went up to order. Santana had ordered Pistachio, Puck ordered Cookies and Cream, Finn got Vanilla, and Quinn had gotten Strawberry. After getting their ice cream they sat in a booth, Finn and Santana on one side, Quinn and Puck on the other. Finn slowly eased his way out of the conversation the other three were in and went into his own world.

"So how do you feel Finn? Finn? Finn!" Quinn shook the boy that was across from her, a little worried when he didn't respond at all.

"Huh? I'm sorry. What?" Finn mumbled when he was shaken out of his mini world.

"I asked how you felt about the four of us pitching in to get Burt and Carol one wedding present. You know we could probably get them something good if we all just put in some money." Quinn said.

"Uh...Yeah. That sounds great. How about we all pitch in 20 bucks and I'll go pick out something I know that my mom and hopefully Burt would love." Finn suggested, still not completely into the conversation.

They all nodded in agreement, and put 20 dollars on the table. Finn scooped the money up and tucked it safely into his wallet.

"Thanks guys."

"Well we hope that your mom likes whatever it is you're picking out for her. Just let us know what you're getting before you actually do. Because don't forget we put our money into this too." Puck reminded Finn.

"No Hudson, if we're putting our money into this, you gotta tell us what you're getting your mom and Burt. Like Puck said, our money was put into his too, so we have the right to know what you're getting her." Santana spoke up. She also wanted to get a great gift for Carol and Burt because they were part of her family.

"What my mom and Burt want the most out of their wedding is to have people see how happy they are together and be happy for them. That they are making two separate families one. They know of the extended glee family so they want to see that people know that the Hudson's and the Hummel's are becoming one family. So my uncle's friend owns this jewelry shop. I'm going to go get two custom made. One necklace is going to have the initials CH. In the one of the vertical lines, it is going to say Hudson, and the other line is going be engraved to say Hummel. Then I'm gonna get Burt's to say the same with the initials BH but in the style of dog tags so it looks just a little more manlier, even though it still is going to be a necklace. Because this company makes the dog tags look really cool and expensive. And since they are a friend of my uncle's and it's for a wedding I get a pretty good discount. Hopefully this will help keep my mom and Burt happy." Finn feeling a bit embarrassed that he rambled that long just to get the idea of his gift out.

"That sounds great. And it's really cool Finn. Nice idea."

"Thanks guys. For everything."

"We just want you guys to be happy."


How was it? Sorry if the whole gift idea was a little difficult to understand. I'll have it make more sense in the next chapter which is the Big Glee Wedding! Also I'm still open to any suggestions for the future of the story. Thanks guys! Please review!
