Chapter 1

Beat It

-Finn-

Finn had made it to school where amazingly he was able to sneak inside and go to the auditorium. Finn found a radio that was backstage and he brought it out and turned it on when a beat came from it that was very familiar and sang along with it only changing the lyrics a little to suit his current predicament.

She told me "Don't you ever come around here
Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear"
The fire's in her eyes and her words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it

I better run, I better do what I can
Don't wanna see no blood, want be a macho man
I wanna be tough, better do what I can
So beat it, but I wanna be bad

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it,
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it. beat it
Just beat it, beat it

They're out to get me, better leave while I can
Don't wanna be a boy, I wanna be a man
I wanna stay alive, better do what I can
So beat it, just beat it

I have to show them that I'm really not scared
I'm playin' with my life, this ain't no truth or dare
They'll kick me, then they beat me,
Then they'll tell me it's fair
So beat it, but I wanna be bad

Just beat it, beat it, beat it,
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it,
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it
Beat it, beat it, beat it
Beat it, beat it, beat it
Beat it, beat it, beat it
Beat it, beat it, beat it

Beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it,
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it,
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

The final notes of the song died out and Finn stopped singing. Why does everything seem to be so difficult and hurt so much around me? Finn sat down on the edge of the stage and gazed out into the empty abyss that was the seating area of the auditorium. He tried to run it all through his mind. He saw how happy that Rachel's dads were with each other, it proved and showed him right there in the flesh that two men were capable of loving each other, just like in a regular relationship.

There were so many things that he noticed about Rachel's parents the just enforced in his mind that being gay, lesbian, or bisexual was okay. It was not some sort of disease that made changed you; you were either born gay or bi, or you weren't. It was that simple. It could be a respectable lifestyle.

Granted there were people that you would never know they were gay, like Rachel's dads. But then there were people who tried to express themselves like Kurt does, and you could tell that they liked to show that they were different and proud of it. God, I must have hurt him when I pushed him. He's probably really angry with me.

But all through May, June, July and this first part of August, Finn realized that his feelings for Rachel were only that of friendship. As he watched her dads he became more and more aware of his feelings for Kurt. Finn noticed that they were only getting stronger the more that he began to watch and notice Kurt.

Finn stayed where he was completely lost in thought as he pondered as to what he should do from here. Kurt probably hated him after his whole outburst back in April over their room. But Finn realized now that the reason he said those things was out of his own fear of his own feelings for Kurt. Hence why wore the red rubber shower curtain and attempted to take on Karofsky and Azimio. But before all that Kurt had really been there for him; but now he wasn't sure how much Kurt really forgave him, after he had put him through. Plus when Rachel figures it out there was going to be problems.

Finn went to reach into his jeans pocket for his phone, but the pain in his fingers made him jerk back and really look at them as he noticed the glass in them. Finn closed his eyes and felt a few more tears slide down his cheeks from the pain as he remembered throwing his phone.

Finn stood up and shut the radio off and returned it where he found it and shut the stage lights off. Finn left the auditorium and exited the school the way he got in. Finn decided to take the long road home to walk off his anxiety, anger, and all the rest of his pent up emotions that he had bottled up.

-Kurt—

Alright its official, I'm extremely annoyed with Finn. This is getting absolutely ridiculous looking for him. What makes this even sadder is that everyone else that's in Glee, except Rachel, is helping me look for him. Kurt thought as he drove his car down a street scanning for Finn. Puck had checked most of Finn's usual spots, and Quinn had checked a few that she knew, and the others were all out driving or walking looking for him. So far they came up empty. Kurt's phone buzzed, as he came to a stop sign. Kurt flipped it open and looked at it.

Sorry, I didn't see Finn under my bed. I will check my closet.

Rainbows r fun!

Kurt groaned loudly at the text he got from Brittney. It's times like these that Kurt was amazed that she even found a way to make it to school, let alone put her Cheerios uniform on right. Hell Quinn's blonde and she's smarter than Brittney.

Its ok Britt, I'm sure Finn will turn up, but it might help if u looked 4 him OUTSIDE ur house.

Kurtr-o-licious

Kurt turned onto the next street as he continued his search. Kurt glanced at the clock on his stereo as "Mamma Mia" played on his stereo. 1:30 AM. Ok, I'm only going to look for him for 15 more minutes and then I am calling it a night. As much as I love Finn, I just can't keep my eyes open to continue to look for him. I'll text everyone and just say to call it off.

Kurt pulled over again and whipped out his phone.

Hey every1, I'm going 2 look 4 another 15 min, & then call it. I hope he turns up, but if u find Finn, let every1 else kno, well except Rachel since she caused this whole mess. TTYAL.

Kurt-o-licious

Over the next five minuets Kurt soon got nine texts of acknowledgement from everyone. Soon Kurt was headed home and delivered the bad news to Carole about not seeing him. As Carole waited in the living room Kurt descended the stairs to his room. God, Finn I so hope that you're okay.

-Quinn-

Oh gosh dang it to hell! Finn where in the hell are you? Quinn was walking close to City Park, she was making her way home after checking a few spots where Finn liked to go that were close by since Mercedes went to go look for him at the mall. Back when her mom asked her to return home when her mom asked during Regional's, Quinn absolutely refused. Living with Mercedes and her family has given her for the first time in a very long time at peace with herself.

When Kurt sent out a mass text asking everyone in Glee, except for Rachel, that he needed their in finding Finn, at 9:45, she was pretty concerned. Quinn asked what was going on and Kurt replied that Finn and Rachel had another big fight, and Finn got angry to where he started throwing stuff and breaking things.

Quinn was then scared when Kurt told her that Finn had cut himself on the glass from a photo frame, and he left before Kurt could help Finn get the glass out. That was at 2:30 that afternoon. Quinn knew that when Finn was that upset then there was something up that was really bothering the big guy. Quinn had thought that after everything that he had gone through this last year, Rachel would be good for Finn. Apparently she was wrong in that assumption.

Quinn asked Kurt if he knew what they were fighting over. Kurt replied back saying that he was not sure, because he came in on the tail end of it. Quinn checked the few places where she and Finn had gone to in the park, but with no luck. She stopped next to the water fountain and leaned over for a drink. When Quinn straightened up she looked up at the starry sky, and she spoke a soft prayer: "Finn, wherever you are, please be alright. We're all worried about you, I really hope that everything is okay with you."

-Finn-

Finn was walking down Main Street when he walked into the Mini Mart. He made a b-line straight for the men's room and let himself in. He gingerly used his hands so he could use the bathroom, and then wash his hands. Finn didn't notice the pain in his fingers all that much anymore unless his fingers hit something. Finn left and noticed that the Holiday Inn's sign said that it was no 2:20 in the morning.

Sitting down on a bench 10 minutes later, Finn ran through his argument with Rachel. He just didn't know where to go from here with her. Finn realized about two weeks ago that he was starting to look at guys more. Hell, he always had been doing quick glances at Kurt after the whole baby-gate thing. Especially after Kurt had did that performance of 4 Minutes. But he had also started looking at Puck, Mike, and Matt slightly different too. At best he could try being her friend, though that seemed to be a shot in the dark now. Finn noticed that someone was walking his way from the Mini Mart; he prayed that it wasn't anyone from Glee. As the person closed the distance, Finn tried to make himself smaller on the bench.

The person stopped just behind him and seemed to stop to consider to talk to Finn. Finn started to grip the arm of the bench hard turning his knuckles white, but he quickly hissed in pain when his fingers had glass pushed into them farther.

"Are you okay?" The person asked.

Finn was quiet for a moment. "I'll be fine."

The person came around the bench and looked at Finn. "Are you sure? You sound like you're in pain."

Finn sighed. "It's something that I can work out on my own."

Finn noticed that in the soft orange light from the street light that this guy was around his age. "No need to be defensive dude, but if you're hurt, I'd like to help if you will let me."

"I said that I could manage it on my own. Could you please go now?" Finn said in an irritated voice.

"Okay, I'll go; I was only just trying to help you out." The kid said and he started to shuffle away.

Finn sighed again. Hey the guy is only trying to help. "Wait, sorry. I'm just going through a lot at the moment."

The kid stopped and turned back to him. "Okay."

Finn stood up and walked over to him. "Though, have you any experience removing glass from fingers?"

"Yes, I do. I had to ironically had to that in Boy Scouts." The kid looked a little confused though by the question.

"Well earlier this afternoon, after I kind of broke up with my girlfriend I pitched her picture and the frame broke and in my anger to get at the picture to tear it up, I got glass in my fingers." Finn explained to the kid. Now looking at the kid he seemed to be familiar from somewhere.

"Oh, well okay, come on let's get to my house and we can get you fixed up." The kid started walking and Finn fell into step next to him.

After a moment of silence the kid looked up at Finn. "Aren't you Finn Hudson, the quarterback right on the football team at our school?"

Finn blinked for a moment. "Yeah, that's me. I'm sorry but you are?"

"My name is Josh Ashwoods. I'm going to be a senior this year. You and I had Biology last year with Mrs. Miller. You and I were lab partners during first semester." Josh said, as he turned on a corner to go down a different street.

Then the light bulb turned on in Finn's head. "Oh yeah I remember now. Sorry, I didn't mean to be a jerk."

"It's cool, I understand being stressed out. Lord knows I've been there before." Josh said as he then turned onto a little sidewalk leading up to a house.

Finn followed him in and they went upstairs. They went to Josh's room and Josh gestured Finn to sit on his bed. He turned on an over head light and then he put his finger on his laptop and moved the curser to "wake" it. He then hit play and exited the room. Finn didn't recognize the song that was playing but he had to admit that it had a pretty good beat to it.

After a few minutes Josh returned with some supplies and set them on his desk and then he closed his bedroom door. "Okay let me look at you fingers."

Finn obeyed and held out his hands as Josh slipped on a pair of rubber gloves. He then gingerly went over each finger and examined them. After that he pushed away on his roller chair and then he brought over a trash can and placed it on the floor in between them and he also brought a pair of tweezers.

"Your parents aren't going to get mad at you for me being here?" Finn asked.

"No, I went in and talked to my mom already. She's a very light sleeper, any way; I told her that I had a friend staying the night, because they were having some 'problems' and she that was fine." Josh said as he took Finn's right pointer finger and started to remove some glass from it.

"Oh, what was the song that you were playing when we first came in?" Finn asked, trying to keep a conversation going.

"Umm…I believe that was Last of the Wilds by a group called Nightwish. You heard of them?"

"No, I haven't."

"Well, the best way to describe them really is kind of a metal opera. But they are not really so much opera." Josh said as he then double checked that finger.

It was quite for a moment and then another song came on that Finn recognized as I'll Be by Edwin McCain. Finn started humming to it. Josh moved to the middle finger and started working on that one and then moved onto the ring finger. When Josh started working on Finn's pinky, then song changed again and Finn listened again as he then heard Josh humming along with this one.

"Who's singing? The song I mean?" Finn asked.

"The song is called Eenie Meenie and it's sung by Justin Bieber and Sean Kingston. I just have a small crush on Justin though…" Josh trailed off at that point and grew quiet and went back to working on Finn's fingers.

Finn noticed what Josh had said. "You have a crush on Justin Beaver? Are you gay or bi?"

Josh's cheeks turned red as he continued his work. "I'm bisexual, my parents and brothers are okay with it. And it's Bieber and not Beaver."

"Oh, sorry about that." Finn was embarrassed now. "So...I thought his name was Justin Beaver and that everyone had "Beaver Fever". Apparently, I was quite mistaken obviously."

Josh laughed. Finn had to smile since Josh was laughing. "Yeah, you were if you thought his name was Beaver."

Josh took a few breaths to calm down. Still chuckling he finished Finn's thumb. "Okay, I'm going to pour some isopropyl alcohol on your fingers to stop any infection that hopefully that has not started. So this is going to really sting."

Finn nodded and he only hissed once on the initial sting. Then Josh started wrapping each finger in a band aid.

"Josh, how or when did you realize that you were bi?" Finn asked hesitantly.

Josh looked Finn in the eye for a moment before moving on to bandage the fingers. "Um…I had my own suspicions I would say when I was eleven or twelve. But I didn't know that I liked guys for sure until I was 15. I met this kid named Garth in my grade and he got a lot of crap from people, but that's beside the point. He was openly gay, and I kind of stopped some kids from throwing him in a dumpster one day.

"Garth told me 'thanks' and left, and then later when I was even more curious than normal I went to him to ask him for help. I told him that I wasn't sure if I was into guys or not and he smiled and that he'd help. So he and I kissed and then after that I kind of knew." Josh told his story as he then moved to work on Finn's other hand. "Does that help you out at all?"

Finn was quiet for a moment as he thought about everything. "I had done some bad things lately, that I'm not to proud of. A friend of mine, a little while back, was there for me after the whole baby scandal."

"I remember that." Josh said.

"Well, Kurt, he…ah…um…well he was there for me during that whole thing and after. That's when I noticed that he would innocently flirt with me, and well I just kind of shrugged it off. I didn't think that he liked me, but he really does. Then after some other things our parents got together, his dad and my mom, and they stared dating and then I kind of started liking him more, but then the next thing I knew I had sex with Santana, Rachel was dating Jesse, and I was going to be rooming with Kurt, and I just freaked out and I took all anger and frustration out on him and called him the one thing that is unforgivable." Finn started to get a little teary eyed as he continued his story.

"I think I know what you called him." Josh said as he continued to pluck.

"So after that I realized that I really liked him and I was unsure of what to do, and I ended up throwing myself into a relationship with Rachel just after Regional's. But as we tried to get along I realized that all we did was fight and I never felt happy with her. And she has two gay dads and just watching them I could see that it was okay to be gay or bi or whatever and as long as you love that person it shouldn't matter. So I tried to break up with Rachel, but no she wants to hang onto me as if I'm the Titanic."

Josh finished plucking Finn's left hand and then put alcohol on it and then bandaged it. "So you're trying to figure out if you are bisexual or not?"

Finn nodded. "Sorry, I didn't mean to unload on you."

Josh put his hand up. "It's fine. Well we could try it the way I found out if you want. But that is totally up to you."

Finn thought about that for a minute. "You know what, sure. It's worth a shot."

Josh cleared away the trash can and threw away the rubber gloves. He then moved back to sit in front of Finn and they both leaned in to kiss each other.
