I updated two days earlier just because I didn't want you to wait anymore. This story is for Cory Monteith and to the fans and people that lost him. Just because he's not physically with us anymore doesn't mean we can't live on through the memory of him.
When Finn returned to school on the Monday after the accident he felt so lost. He didn't feel like himself when Puck high fived him in the morning and he sure didn't feel like himself when Quinn kissed him this morning at his locker. All he could think about was the Berries and how he almost ruined their lives. He kept thinking about what Rachel said, was she really going to press charges or was she just bluffing? Just then like a coincidence Rachel walked by him. She was staring in his directions giving him the stink eye. Yup she was still pissed.
Before he had time to walk up to her he saw it. The grape slushy that Puck just threw on her, yup this was so not helping his case. He looked at her with sad eyes, not really knowing what he was supposed to do. For one he really wanted to help her, but he on the other hand didn't want to ruin his reputation he has been building for the last few years. She turned around and looked at him, he could tell that she was crying and he turned away.
"I hate you Finn Hudson!" She yelled, everyone just laughed. He couldn't take this anymore so he turned around and walked into the library. He couldn't see this anymore, she was changing him and he knew it. He sat himself down in a chair and pretended to study for his social studies test. He saw Puck walking in and quickly tried to hide in his book, but it was too late the mohawked boy was coming over to where he was.
"Hey man, where'd you go?" Puck asked as he hit Finn on the back.
Finn rubbed the back of his neck and laughed awkwardly, "Oh um I just wanted to get some studying done before first period."
Puck nodded, and did what Finn was hoping he wouldn't do which is sit down across from him. "You know I don't worry about that shit man! I don't know if you saw but I got Berry so good this morning." He started laughing, "You should have seen her face, she was so scared. I heard Santana slushied Hummel too."
Finn didn't know what to say, so he settled for, "Oh yeah? Maybe we could lay off of them for a little bit. I really feel bad, and don't want to ruin their junior year." Puck looked at him like he was crazy.
"You're kidding right? You love making fun of them, why the sudden change man?" He asked.
"I just..I just don't want to do this anymore!" He said looking serious into his friends eyes. He knew that if Puck didn't agree he would be in risk of being charged or even worse, have to join the glee club.
"Look dude if you don't want to do it anymore fine, but making fun, and slushing nerds is what i do best. Berry and her friends are nerds and I intend to keep doing what i'm doing." Puck stood up and walked out of the library.
Later on that day Finn found Rachel by her locker and walked up to her. "Rach, i'm really sorry about this morning. I wish I could have stopped them but I wasn't quick enough."
Rachel turned around and faced Finn, "First of all my name is Rachel, Rach is only for my close friends and family, and I don't recall you fitting under any of those categories. Second, I hope you brought your a game because glee club tryouts are today after school." She smiled shyly.
Finn put one hand on her locker and leaned down and whispered, "Rachel, you know I can't join glee. It would ruin my reputation and I can't sing, I can really only play the drums."
"It would ruin your reputation, really? You ran down my father with your car, do you not remember what I told you at the hospital? You are either going to pay wether you join glee or I press charges. Also we could always use another musician, your drumming talents won't go to waste." She then shut her locker. "Glee tryouts are at 3:00, and if you don't show up i'm going to the police station after school." She smiled and walked away. As she walked away she said, "I hope you make the best decision for your future."
Finn had no idea what to do, the bell for last period knocked him out of his thoughts. As he walked to his last class he tried to figure out what he should do, either join glee and be made fun of by his so called friends, or don't join and have her permanently screw up his future. After class was over he had to make a choice, either go home and not have any future or join glee club and have his entire junior class laugh at him.
Finn took a deep breath and walked into the auditorium, he saw his spanish teacher, and a few of the kids from his class and walked in. He walked to the front and went up to the teacher. "Um, i'm here to audition for the glee club."
Mr. Shuester looked at him, "Woah Finn Hudson, didn't expect you to be here."
Finn then mumbled under his breath, "Yeah, I didn't either." He then turned around to see Rachel smirking and waving at him. "So i'll just go up there and play the drums then i'll get out of here."
"Oh wait Finn, I feel like I should explain. You have to go up there and sing as well as play the drums." Mr. Shue explained.
Finn hastily turned around and yelled at Rachel, "That wasn't part of the deal, I don't sing and I told you that." Rachel looked shocked.
"Wait what deal, Rachel?" Kurt asked.
"Oh you mean the little princess didn't tell you? She's blackmailing to join this stupid club or press charges on me for…"
He paused trying to find the right words, but before he could say anything Rachel cut in and yelled, "For hitting my dad with your car! You seemed a little lost Hudson just thought i'd help fill in the blanks."
"Really, you're the one that hit her dad?" Tina asked. "That's a low blow for you Hudson, I mean isn't it enough that you make our life a living hell at school, but now you're taking it out on us at home too?"
Artie chimed in and asked, "So does this mean I should fear for my life again, I was already in one car accident I don't need another."
"I'm not gonna hit anyone else with my car, that's not the point though. She's blackmailing me!" he pointed to Rachel, "Can't you do anything Mr. Shue?"
"Finn, this is out of my hands. The only thing I would suggest is that you sit down and talk to Rachel with your parents, maybe they can help you."
"You know what i'll just audition, I mean then i'll be done with her and her blackmailing abilities." he walked to the stage and started singing Its My Life by Bon Jovi. When he was finished he stood up and walked to the front of the stage and asked, "How'd I do?"
"Welcome to Glee club" Mr. Schue smiled.
As everyone left the auditorium Rachel waited for Finn, "Welcome to the team Hudson, I guess i won't have to press charges….today."
"Wait what does that mean, I joined your little club there is no reason for you to report me at all." He asked raising his voice in the process.
"Well yeah you joined but if you quit at anytime or do something to hurt this little club of ours i will be pressing charges, bye Mr. Hudson." She waved again and walked out of the auditorium. Once again Finn Hudson was flustered.
Again like I said at the beginning of the chapter this is for Cory monteith, Also review because that is how I get the strength to keep writing. Also I will be trying to update my story Telling Rachel the sequel (Prob will have another name but it will be full of one shots with the Hudson Family.)
