Monday morning.
Finn dragged himself to school, remembering that he'd have to meet Rachel 2nd period to "talk." As Finn had to recollection of what happened at the party, he wasn't looking forward to it. He decided he'd have to find Puck just so he had some idea of what happened at the party so he could apologise for whatever he did. However, when Finn first saw Puck, it wasn't exactly the greeting he was expecting.
Puck hit Finn with such a force that his nose started bleeding. "Dude, WHAT THE HELL." Finn was in a state of rage. "I hope she breaks up with you if she hasn't already, you don't deserve her." Puck took Quinn's hand and walked away. Why would he want Rachel to end it with him? Quinn looked back with a look of somewhat sympathy. Finn needed to find out what happened. Now, not only was Rachel mad at him, but Puck was too. Who else had he managed to hurt at the party?
Finn only just made his way through US History. He was being sent texts from the whole glee club with things like "you've really gone and done it this time Hudson" from Kurt and "Look Finn, I don't even like the Streisand wannabe but that was low." from Santana. Why didn't he just listen to Rachel when she said not to drink, Rachel always knows what she's talking about.
As Finn slowly creaked the auditorium open, he could see one single spotlight on the stage. Standing right in the centre of it was Rachel, looking like she was either about to give a practice Emmy acceptance speech or sing her heart out about how she felt (other than gold stars, that was kind of her thing.) As she slowly walked towards the mic, Finn was nervous. He made his way to Mr Schue's table in the auditorium just to use the mic.
"Look Rach, I know you want me to explain whatever happened at the party, but I don't remember. Whatever I have done, it's already costed me a punch in the face, but I'm sure whatever you're going to say will be more heartbreaking. All I can say is that I'm sorry and..." Rachel interrupted. She was now up in the stands, sitting next to Finn. "Finn, stop. You really don't remember anything?" Finn just shook his head and then looked at the floor. "I'm so sorry Rach, for whatever I did."
"Sorry's not enough Finn. Not after what you did." Rachel had tears forming in her eyes. "Rach, if I knew what I did I would do everything in my way to make it up to you." Finn hated seeing Rachel upset. All he wanted to do was hug her and tell her everything was okay but he knew if he tried anything, she'd end it with him in a heartbeat.
For about 5 minutes, they just sat in silence, Rachel wishing she'd never even asked to speak to him and Finn terrified that Rachel would leave him. Then just to break the silence Rachel said "ask Quinn." And then ran out of the auditorium. He tried to run after her but she ran into the girl's bathroom. Why Quinn? They hadn't spoken since the whole "we should get back together" debacle which ended in Finn rejecting her. As awkward as it would be, he needed to fix this.
Quinn wasn't exactly difficult to find, as soon as he ran out of the auditorium to catch Rachel, he turned his head there she was at the lockers with Puck. He waited until they had finished talking and then slowly made his way over to her. "Uhh...Hey Quinn. Look I don't know if you're mad at me to due to whatever happened but Rachel said I should speak to you so...here I am." Quinn looked confused. "Why would Rachel want me to tell you? Oh wait, come to think of it she probably wouldn't have got through it without crying. You really hurt her Finn, you know that right?" Finn just rolled his eyes. "Of course I know that. I've been told by everyone in glee at least twice in the past couple of hours. Your boyfriend even attempted to break my nose over it. Just please Quinn, tell me what happened so I can at least try to fix this." Quinn took his hand and dragged him to the auditorium.
"Fine. Okay, at the party when Puck handed you that beer, Rachel spent about 10 minutes telling you how much of a mistake it would be. But knowing you, you didn't listen." Finn looked at her "hey..." "Well Finn... I'm not wrong. Anyway, after that beer you wouldn't stop drinking. Rachel kept getting more and more concerned, however, you kept getting more and more mean. After you're 6th bottle Rachel was furious. She started shouting about how you should've listened to her and she was crying but you just laughed, said she was pathetic and that you'd probably be better off with me because you still loved me."
Finn just sat in shock. He had a lot of begging to do if Rachel was even going to think about speaking to him again.
