He feels pain in all his joints when he wakes up, and remembers the fact that he slept on a cot that was 10 times to small for him and hard as a fucking rock. It probably wasn't a wise decision agreeing to sleep on it after all his injuries, but at this point, it was all he had. He got up to stretch when he saw Emma approach the bedroom door way.

"Good morning sleepy head!" She giggled.

"Mornin' shortie," He said, picking her up and kissing her lightly on the nose, carrying her out to the main area, where his mom was making breakfast.

"Morning mom,"

"Morning sweetheart,"

He put Emma down on the counter and walked over to the bathroom. He looked in the mirror and noticed the severity of his injuries. His ear was split open, the whole left side of his face was black and blue, and his forehead was all but broken in half, fucking perfect he thought. He quickly splashed water on his face and pulled off his sweatshirt, anticipating more bruising on his chest. He was right, foot and hand marks were covering his chest, he almost looked like one of those guys of Avatar. He pulled his sweatshirt back on, Emma didn't need to see that, it would freak her out. He walked out, grabbed an apple and turned towards the door.

"I'm heading to the apartment to grab my things, I'll be back later."

"Bye Finny!" Emma yelled, smiling wide.

"Bye,"

He smiled lightly, and opened the door, to the warm summer the keys in his hand, he strolled over to the rugged used pick up truck, got in, and stuck the keys in the ignition. With a few kicks to it, the truck started with a rumble. He pulls out of the trailer park and sees a familiar face, it was that girl she ran in to last night, sitting on the side of the road. She slowly came to a stop beside her and rolled the window down.

"Hey are you alright?" He called

Her head shot up, and he noticed there were tear stains down her face, he heard her clear her throat, then she spoke,

"I'm fine,"

"You don't look fine, do you need a ride somewhere?"

"Well I don't want to bother you, and you are a stranger. Where are you going?"

"My ex girlfriends house, gotta pick some things up,"

"What's up with your face?"

"Blame my parents," He said with a smiled,

"I mean the bruises, and scratches,"

"Long story, are you going to get in or not?"

She looked at him for a second before getting up, and hoping in the truck.

"I'm Rachel by the way, Rachel Berry," She said, extending her hand out for a shook her hand saying;

"Finn Hudson,"

Her eyes widened in shock, while her mouth opened slightly.

"Hey! You're that boxer guy,"

His smile fell, of course his failure was all over this cow town already. Obviously she noticed because she suddenly spoke up.

"I hear you're quite the dope boxer,"

He burst out laughing, not expecting such a tiny innocent girl to call something or rather someone, dope.

"Who said I'm a dope boxer?" He said with a smile.

"It's around," She smiled at him. He noticed he rather liked her smile. It was almost as if it could light up the world if she wanted it to.

"So where am I taking you to?" he took a second to look at her before turning his eyes back to the road.

"31 Acrewood,"

"Holy, that's on the other side of Lima, what the fuck are you doing over here?"

"I got in to a fight with my boyfriend,"

"So you decided to walk over here to get abducted or beaten up?"

He looked at her, she was smiling. It wasn't a joke.

"Nothing bad would've happened,"

"HA! I've seen shit happen to innocent girls like you out here, and no one can stop what happens. Trust me, I've tried,"

"Well, if I didn't walk out here, I wouldn't have met you,"

He turned to her, and looked in to her eyes fro a second, he doesn't know what she meant, but it gave him a weird feeling in his stomach.

"Do you want to hang out or something?"

"Now?"

"Yeah, why not?"

"Sure, there's a park just around the corner, turn left up here,"

They had made it to the better of Lima, so he figured it was safe enough. When he parked the truck he heard her clap and let out a squeal.

"Can we sit on the swings?" She said to him with a smile.

"Sure,"

He couldn't hold back a laugh when she jumped out of the truck and bolted for the swings, she was actually kind of cute, but he wasn't the type of guy to make a girl his re-bound. When he sat on the swing next to her, she looked at him for a good 25 seconds before speaking.

"20 questions?"

"Er, okay, go,"

"Favorite color?"

"Blue"

"Favorite band?"

"Journey,"

"Any siblings?"

"Little sister,"

"What's her name?"

"Emma"

"Age?"

"5"

"AWH! I've always wanted a sister, but my fathers didn't want another child,"

"Fathers?"

"Oh, yeah, I have two gay dads,"

"Well that's co-"

Oh my man I love him so

"Damn, that's my cell, sorry,"

She picked a pink and white bedazzled iPhone out of her pocket, and lifted it to her ear.

"Hello? That doesn't concern you, Jesse I'll be home soon, no I'm not cheating on you, whatever, I'll be home in 5 minutes,"

She turned to him with a sad look on her face,

"I'm sorry, that was my boyfriend, and I have to get home,"

"Uh, yeah, I'll drive you,"

"Oh no it's fine! My house is just around the corner, but thanks anyways, I had a good time, here's my number,"

She passed him a small piece of paper and kissed him lightly on the cheek, before turning around and jogging sat there for a bit before moving. Then realized how late it was.

Fuck, I'll get my shit tomorrow
