It was sprinkling when Kurt and I made it through the doors to Lima's closest mall. In the time here I'd managed to calm down from the almost moment Kurt and I had before we left.

"So, were should we go first?" I asked.

"It's your celebration, you choose," He smiled.

"Forever 21?" I pointed to the store just a little ways in front of us.

"Absolutely."

We walked in and I was immediately all over the place throwing clothes over my arm. As much as I love designer clothes, the prices aren't always within my budget. I'd always known Forever 21 to have in-style clothing for a much cheaper price though. I loved to shop here.

Kurt trailed behind me, making suggestions here and there.

"What about this one?" I held up a lacey white a-line tank.

"Cute," He said and walked to a pink sweater with ruffled shoulders. "You should wear this with it." He handed it to me.

I put them together, "You're right." I smiled.

"Fashion is my expertise," He said while making sure his hair was in place.

I chuckled, "It definitely is, because I wouldn't have noticed that sweater as fast as you did."

"Glad to be of service," He laughed.

After picking up a few more items I walked Kurt over to the men's part of the store.

"Oh, I don't need any more clothes right now," He tried.

"Really? 'Cause I think you should buy some."

He sighed in defeat and looked around. "Well, I do need a new coat," He said while going through a rack of black peacoats.

"That would really look nice of you."

"Really?"

"Of course, Kurt." Did he really not know how attractive he is?

After I purchased my clothes and Kurt bought his coat we left to Delia's, then Dillard's. I had four bags, each stuffed by the time we headed back out to the car. I knew I'd spent my budget for at least the next two months, but for some reason I didn't care. I was so happy I'd just spent the whole day with Kurt.

He'd given me style tips the whole time. I picked out a few things for him, a shirt and two pairs of pants. I couldn't wait to see them on him.

"This was really fun," I said after Kurt and I got inside his car.

"It was. I don't think I'll be able to shop again for a while, but yes, it was," He chuckled.

"Me too, but we have to do this again."

"Agreed," He said then began driving home.

[Finn's POV]

"Are you kidding me?" I slammed my fist against my locker.

"N-no." Rachel shook her head. I saw Puck and went for him. "Wait, Finn!" Rachel's were just noise, I saw my target; I wasn't looking back.

"I can't believe you!" I shoved Puck.

"Woah, man. Lay off, okay?" It angered me even more that he was still using his casual attitude.

"You were my best friend!" I punched him directly across the jaw. He pushed me back in defense, but soon I was on the ground, Puck too, each of us throwing punches right and left.

"What's your problem, Finn?"

"I know, Puck! I know!"

Someone pulled us off each other, but I couldn't tell who. The minute I got up I headed straight to the glee room. I slammed open the door.

"Is it true?" Everyone turned around to stare at me. Everyone except three, Mr. Shue, Kurt and Cori who weren't even in the room. No one responded. I looked straight at Quinn and said even louder, "Is it true?"

She looked at me, tears apparent in her eyes, but I didn't care. She'd broken my heart. "Finn… please..." She choked out.

"It is, isn't it?"

Ever so slightly she nodded her head, the tears starting to fall.

"And you all knew, didn't you?

"It wasn't our place to tell you," Mercedes said.

I shook my head. "I'm done with you! All of you!"

I ran outside and sat on the football bleachers. I was too shocked and angry to cry. I heard footsteps to my left and almost started yelling for them to leave me alone, but it was Cori, who probably had no idea what had happened.

"Hey," She said. "I had just gotten to glee when you left. Someone said you might be here."

I didn't say anything.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

The way she said it actually made the question seem sincere. Not like 'I wanna be nice, but I also could care less.'

"The baby's not mine." Hearing it come out of my own mouth struck my heart worse than when Rachel told me. "It's Puck's," I spat.

"Oh, Finn, I'm so sorry," She sat down next to me.

"I just… I feel so stupid. Everyone knew except for me."

She leaned against me and rubbed my shoulder. It was soothing. "If anyone should feel stupid, Finn, it's her. You're an amazing guy. It's going to take a while for the pain to go away, but you're better off without her."

"You really mean that?" I turned towards her, looking her straight into the eyes.

She nodded her head and I felt myself moving closer to her. Suddenly, she was on her feet, hands in front of her. "Wait, wait. I'm sorry, I-I didn't mean…"

I put my head in my hands. "I'm such an idiot."

She sighed. "No, you're not." I felt her hands on my shoulders and looked up. "You're within a bundle of emotions right now. I think you should get some good rest tonight, work on clearing your head." She gave me a small smile, and in return I stood up and hugged her.

"Thanks, Cori. I'm glad I have someone I can trust." I broke the hug. "Do you need a ride home?"

She hesitated a moment then said, "Sure."

Author's Note:

Sorry the chapter is short. It bothers me to post a chapter under a thousand words, but I'm leaving the story how I wrote originally. I don't feel right messing with it.

Next chapter will be up soon. :) Please review.
