Not Over You
The past couple days have been the worst days of my life. Everywhere I looked I would see her with him. After Valentine's Day, it was like nothing had ever happened. When I look at her she doesn't seem to see that I still have feelings for her. She just avoids me and keeps giving me this stare like she's trying to say: Stop staring at me. You're really starting to creep me out.
Today we were rehearsing in the auditorium but I wasn't all that into the whole performance. After Mr. Shue dismissed us, I stayed and sat on the edge of the stage staring out into all the empty seats. I wasn't sitting very long when I heard footsteps approaching me. Quickly I checked to see who it is and went back to let my eyes wander the room.
"Hey Finn. What's on your mind?" Tina sincerely asks as she takes a seat next to me.
"Nothing. Shouldn't you be with Mike?"
"He went to talk to Sam." she noticed when my knuckles started to turn white just from hearing that name. "Let me guess. It's Quinn isn't it?" she assumes.
"How did you know?" I turn to her for the first time since she sat down. When I looked at her, she looked like she really cared.
"Finn when it comes to your feelings your not very subtle." she stated.
I let out a long sigh. "Yeah. It's Quinn."
"Well what's going on between you guys?" Tina pressed wanting to know more.
"I don't know. I... I mean I still love her. Even though part of me keeps telling me that I shouldn't." I reveal.
"What do you mean?"
"Everyone's right about me. I'm the stupid quarterback who believed that he could get his girlfriend pregnant in a hot tub. I'm the stupid boy who couldn't get over her after what's she's done." I started to rant. "You were all right. Rachael was just the rebound girl for Quinn. She was the only one who I thought I could trust at the time."
"You know you can trust me, right?" she interrupts.
"Yeah, I do now." I paused before finally speaking. "From the time we broke up til now, she's always on my mind. Rachael was just my distraction. When she cheated on me with Puck, it felt like Quinn and me all over again. That's why it actually hurt so much."
"I never realized how much you had going on. But I'm sure it will eventually get better."
"Yeah? How? We talked on Valentine's Day but she ended up leaving because of Sam. And ever since then she always looks at me funny like nothing ever happened."
"Deep down, I still think that she has feelings for you. You just gotta give her some time. You can't just expect her to run into your arms after one day of showing her how you feel. Slowly show her and win her back."
"Thanks, Tina. This really helped."
"Really? Well I'm on your side, Finn, and I know Mike is too. You know he really wants to try to get back to hanging out with you more? Sometimes he vents that he misses hanging with his bro especially since Matt moved away." Tina told me adding air quotes around bro.
"You're really cool. Maybe we could hang out sometimes. You know if you're up for it." I suggest.
"That sounds fun. But how about we get you and Mike back being bros first."
"Alright. How about we get to that right now?" I said smiling for the first time in days. Inside I did miss goofing off with Mike.
"Sounds good to me. And I think I have the perfect song for you to perform in front of glee tomorrow. I think it kinda sums up your situation." she turned to me and asked "Friends?"
"Definitely." I answer before we head out in search of the other Asian.
I had heard everything. From start to finish. I was on my way back hoping to actually gather up all the courage I had and go talk to him. Upon my arrival to the auditorium I see his sitting there with Tina. I knew I shouldn't but I couldn't help but eavesdrop. I hid behind one of the same stage curtains listening intently.
When all was said, I was completely confused. But I eventually decided to take the best from it. I knew for a fact that Finn Hudson still had feelings for me, Quinn Fabray, even after all the drama and lies we went through.
I was happy for him. He found a friend in Tina, he gonna try to strengthen his friendship with Mike, and he finally looked happy for the first time since Valentine's Day. Now with Tina and Mike by his side, he'll eventually be joined by others. I just hope that everyday he'll just keep getting better.
As for me, I don't know what to do or think anymore. Why is life so complicated? As the days go on, it kills me to try not to talk to Finn. It kills me to not give in and go running back into his arms. I'm just trying to stay strong until I know for sure who my heart belongs to. Sam had the potential of being that guy, that perfect guy. But the spark I had for Finn Hudson was reignited. And day by day it kept getting stronger.
My train of thought was interrupted when a voice called out to me.
"Quinn? Quinn, you ready to go?" I turn around to see my boyfriend standing there waiting for me.
"Yeah. Just let me get my bag." After retrieving my bag, I walked next to him as his arm began to snake its way around my waist. "So where are we going?" I asked as he led me to his car for our date tonight.
"I was thinking about going to Breadstix. Is that ok with you?"
"That sounds fine." I try to hide the fact that I'm a little disappointed. No matter how many dates we went on it was always the same. It was never different.
My last thought before turning my attention back to Sam was: Finn always loved to surprise me and change it up a bit. Maybe he wasn't so similar to Finn as I thought.
