Chapter 6: Searching For an Answer.
Finn, Rachel, Sam and Quinn were in the auditorium looking for supplies.
They were all sitting on the stage, wondering where to look, what to do and what to talk about.
"Now what?" Finn asked, confused.
"Did you not listen at all? We need to look for supplies" Rachel snapped at him.
"I know that but where?" he snapped back.
"In the auditorium"
"We're in the auditorium" Finn once again snapped at Rachel, his voice raising.
"Well why don't you get up and start looking around!" Rachel's voice was rising too.
"I'm not the one who wanted to come into the auditorium; I wanted to go to the nurse's office"
"There's nothing in the nurse's office"
Both Finn and Rachel were shouting and Sam and Quinn were behind them looking scared and horrified.
"Um… Guys, Guys?" Sam called out to them, but he was left unheard as they were still shouting.
"We're just going to go look for something" Sam shouted, trying to reach over there loud voice.
Realizing that they didn't hear him he simply just shook his head, grabbed Quinn's hand and ran backstage with a startled blond, leaving the two brunettes too continue fighting over something that no one knew about.
Santana, Puck, Blaine, Artie and Brittany were searching the empty classroom.
They decided to search the library, it was quiet and peaceful and empty.
"What a waste of space," Santana said, picking up an old book and flicking through the pages, "it looks like it hasn't been read in years" she continued.
"You know you should never judge a book by its cover" Puck said to her, in which she glanced at him confused.
"Judging a book by its cover is like saying that you are a mean, bitchy slut, which you totally are by the way." He finished, Santana glared and he luckily ducked just as the book that she threw fled over his head.
"Guys, seriously, concentrate, what is in here that we can bring back?" Artie asked them.
"How about these?" Brittany chirped in.
"No, Britts, we can't bring th- wait, are they the school files?" Santana said, rushing over to the filing cabinet Brittany was leaning over.
"You guys keep the school files in the library?" Blaine asked.
"No, just the ones who have graduated" Puck commented, searching through the files with Santana and Artie.
"Yeah, that makes it better" Blaine mumbled under his breath.
"What are we looking for?" he then spoke up, joining the others
"The Graduating class of 2000 and… AHA got it!" Puck shouted out.
He pulled out the file and slammed it on to the desk beside him, papers flying out, the other slammed there drawers shut and circled the table, leaning closer to Puck a he searched for the glee clubbers.
Lauren, Mike, Tina, Mercedes and Kurt were searching the nurse's office, they were looking through drawers, cabinets and desks with no luck.
"There is nothing here worth using" Mike said in frustration.
"Yeah, nothing but pillows and tablets"
"Blankets"
"First aid stuff"
"Casts"
" And a medical book'
Lauren, Mercedes, Tina and Kurt commented.
There was a sudden awkward silence in the group for a while, after a while Mike spoke again.
"There is nothing here, not to use"
He said this and everyone looked puzzled, yet understanding.
Quinn and Sam were backstage, they were still trying to block out the shouts the brunettes were screaming.
"What are they even fighting about?" Quinn asked the big- lipped blondie beside her.
Sam shrugged in illusion, obviously oblivious about the fight that was going on behind them.
"Listen carefully, you might be able to hear" he said to her, shushing her and concentrating on the two loud voices.
On the stage Finn and Rachel were still at war, still shouting over one pointless topic after the other.
"Wait, Wait, Rach, what are we even fighting about?" Finn asked quieting down the small brunette.
"How would I know you started it" she mumbled.
Finn sighed and slumped on to the stage.
"Yeah, I'm sorry" he said to her.
"I'm sorry too" Rachel said, sitting down beside him. Both of them staring into space.
Finn turned to the girl next to him and asked the question he wanted to ask ever since they had reunited.
"So, Jesse huh?" Rachel looked up surprised at the question, trying desperately to uncover and figure out the meaning behind it, she rolled her eyes when she noticed the jealousy in his.
"Finn, please, don't go there" she whispered, begging him not to continue.
Finn ignored her hushed tone and pressed on.
"So, when did you guys meet again?"
"Finn, please don-'
"Please, tell me" Finn interrupted her.
She decided to answer, noticing the curious yet hurt tone in his voice.
"We got together, three years ago"
"Three years? Seriously?" Finn said, getting mad for a reason Rachel couldn't figure out.
"What are you-"
"You couldn't even wait a year?" he once again interrupted her, and once again raising his voice.
"What are you talking about?" she said, trying to keep quiet.
"You know what I'm talking about, you couldn't wait a year after we broke up."
"Finn Hudson, how dare you, we broke up five years ago not three" Rachel shouted, realizing what Finn was accusing her of.
"We did?" Finn said, quieting down, guilty.
"Yes, and by the way, I waited two years for you" Rachel said still shouting, clearly mad at him.
"You waited two years for me, why?" Finn asked
"I thought you would follow me" Rachel whispered, ashamed.
"Oh" the taller boy simply said.
"Why didn't you?" Rachel asked.
"I…I…I didn't know I had to" Finn said to her, even guiltier and even more ashamed.
Rachel sighed deeply and slumped onto the stage, looking straight at the floor, taking a sudden interest in the carpet pattern and trying to avoid Finns gaze.
Finn noticed her shyness and sat next to her quietly, not saying a word, just simply, like Rachel, staring at the floor.
"So, when did you meet you fiancé?" Rachel said, hoping to move onto another topic and hopefully avoiding another argument.
"Umm… four and a half years ago." He said nervously, knowing there was another argument ahead.
Rachel glanced up to him slowly, putting the pieces she glared at him, Finn just simply cowered away, slowly getting up and backing away.
Rachel walked towards him, ready to start another argument, she was mad.
Sam and Quinn had been listening intently to the entire fight, observing from a sensible and safe distance.
Hearing what Finn said they looked at each other confused.
"Why is Rachel so mad?" Sam asked Quinn.
"Um… Oh my god!' Quinn blurted out, like Rachel placing the pieces together.
"What? What?" Sam asked excited but even more confused.
"Don't you get it?" the blonde asked him
Sam shook his head and pressed her to go on.
"They broke up five years ago"
Sam nodded understanding and Quinn continued.
"Rachel waited two years for him, and she got together with Jesse three years ago"
He nodded again and she continued.
"Finn got together with his fiancé four and a half years ago"
"Oh, Finn cheated on Rachel!" Sam blurted out, hoping he had worked it out correctly.
"NO! Finn only waited half a year after he broke up with Rachel then he moved on!' Quinn shouted at him.
"Oh! So?" he said, still not initially sure why Rachel was so mad at Finn
"He waited half a year then moved on, forgetting about Rachel and proving that he probably didn't love her as much as he said" Quinn said to the clueless blonde.
" But he did love her?"
"Yeah, but if you really love someone you have to wait more than half a year to move on from them" Quinn said, glad that he finally understood.
" You didn't wait a year." Sam said quietly, referring to the time Quinn moved on to Finn.
"Yeah, I guess I didn't really love you then." She said, sitting next to the clearly sad blonde.
"Did you ever love me?' he asked her, dreading the answer.
"Yes, of course I did." She said quietly, just for him.
"When?"
"When we got back together"
"Oh yeah, we got back together because after you won prom queen Finn broke up with you because he suddenly remembered that he was in love with Rachel because Jesse came back" Sam said, chuckling at the last part.
"Yeah, your right, isn't it weird he always remembers he loves her after Jesse come back?" Quinn said, chuckling along with him.
" Yeah, but I think it's mostly when she's not single anymore"
"Yeah, like he knows that she won't keep fighting for him and that he can't ignore her when she does" Quinn said, the two blondes were laughing now, giggling over the rocky relationship that was Finchel.
"What a jerk" Sam said, Quinn nodded giggling, knowing he was speaking the truth.
"Come on, we better look for supplies, I doubt 'Finchel' will.' He continued, standing up and walking towards the costume closet, opening the doors and allowing Quinn to walk in first.
Closing the door and turning on the light they both searched the shelves for anything worth using.
Both were unaware of the automatic lock on the door, locking the two into the room, they would be unheard if Finn and Rachel didn't stop shouting.
-( Quam just explained for me and for you what I think is wrong with Finn and Rachel relationship- have you ever noticed it?)
Santana, Puck, Blaine, Artie and Brittany were still searching through the files, searching for something that someone had obviously forgot to tell/
"Oh, look, Quinn's real name is Lucy. Q. Fabray" Santana said, flipping through the blondes file.
"Yeah, I already knew that, Lauren told me' Puck said, pulling out Rachel's file.
Santana glared at him then put the file back, deciding to search for Pucks, payback.
"Oh!, Look, Finn got tricked into glee club because MR. Shue found 'pot' in his locker" Artie said, obviously reading Finns.
Everyone laughed at this, was Finn that stupid?
"Oh, look, Kurt middle name is Elizabeth" Blaine blurted out, surprised at the name.
Everyone around him glared, even Brittany.
"Yeah, we already know that" Santana said. Rolling her eyes." God, you don't know Kurt at all"
"I do know Kurt!" Blaine argued , hearing what the Latina said.
"Prove it!" Puck said, taking a seat on the table, everyone copied at glanced up at Blaine, pressuring him to show them, or tell them what he knew about Kurt Elizabeth Hummel.
"Well." Blaine started nervously, knowing that the four people in front of him obviously knew just as much as he knew about Kurt, he knew he couldn't stuff this up, they were bound to let it slip to Kurt, then he would be more mad at him then he already is.
" I know he loves designer clothes, especially Perry Ellis, Alexander McQueen and Marc Jacobs."
"That's kind of a given, he talks about them all the time" Artie said.
Blaine continued " I know that he has no knowledge of any sport what so ever"
"Well, duh, he considers himself an 'Honorary Girl' Santana said
"I know he loves Greys's Anatomy and giving make overs"
"Well, duh, it's Kurt" Brittany said, to which everyone was surprised.
"I know he considers his voice, his ability to spot upcoming trends in men's fashion, and his ability to tell when it comes from a bottle to be his three main gifts"
"Well, he told Sam that" Puck said.
Blaine pressed on, determined to find something only he knew about Kurt.
"I know he loves the Sound of Music, especially the sing-a-long version"
Artie, Santana, Puck and even Brittany looked uninterested in this.
"He has collection of tiaras, a "Maria Von Trapp" bonnet, and a hope chest?"
Still nothing.
"He can speak French and once did a fourteen minute Celine Dion solo in the language?"
"Yeah, Yeah, we were there" Santana said, referring to her and Brittany, and still as bored as ever.
"He has a good taste in fashion, can hit a high F, can do a male vocal range and his coffee order is a Grande non-fat Mocha!" Blaine listed, frustrated.
"Obviously" they four all said together.
"His first male kiss was with Dave Karofsky!" he suddenly blurted out, immediately covering his mouth, trying to stop himself from saying anything more.
The four in front of him were in shock, their eyes were wide open and filled with fear, surprise and disgust.
"WHAT ARE YOU SERIOUS!" they all shouted together.
"YOU HAVE TO TELL US WHAT HAPPENED!" they all said together once again, circling Blaine.
The boy in the middle knew he had no choice but to tell them.
-(I like the idea of Blaine trying to outdo the New Directions on what he knows about Kurt- I got the info from glee wiki)
Lauren, Mike, Tina, Mercedes and Kurt had just finished collecting everything useful in the nurse's office and they were now on their way back to the choir room, obviously forgetting they were now going to stay in the auditorium.
"Do you think the others have anything good?" Tina asked then others around her.
"Probably not, Puck probably making out with Santana, Artie's probably trying to flirt with Brittany, while Blaine sitting there awkwardly, Sam trying to flirt with Quinn who's trying to get with Finn and Rachel's probably following him around like a puppy." Kurt said to her and the others, listing what he thought the others were doing, unaware that they were doing the exact opposite.
The others nodded in agreement.
"Do you think Mr. Shue woke up while we were gone?" Mercedes asked, worried.
"No, he's probably still out cold" Mike said, reassuring her.
He was proved wrong when they entered the choir room and seeing the curly-haired teacher sitting up, pain etched on to his face.
"I think you might be wrong!" Lauren said to Mike, in which everyone nodded to, even Mike.
"You met your fiancé four and a half years ago!" Rachel shrieked at Finn, alearly more angry than she had ever benn before
"Now, Rachel, calm down" Finn said, slowly backing away, not knowing at what extent Rachel would crack.
"You yell at me for not waiting a year when I waited two when you were the one who didn't wait a year!"
"Now come, on, it wasn't my fault!"
"Of course it was your fault! How was it anyone elses fault that you couldn't wait a year to mourn the sudden break up you and I had" she asked, shouting at him still.
";I did mourn, yeah only for a month for two, but I only got with Ashley because I was depressed about you, and besides, she was pretty hot!" he shouted at her, though he did mumble the last part.
"I don't care why you did it that still does not give, you the right to judge me on how long I waited"
"Come on, I'm sorry, you are right, I should of waited longer, but I just couldn't face the pain of knowing you weren't there any more, I… I guess I just wasn't thinking" Finn said to her, sorrow and truth in his voice, upon hearing this Rachel quieted down, and sat down on the stage, resuming her position of staring at the carpet.
"I'm sorry too, it wasn't all entirely your fault, you weren't thinking, and I understand that" Rachel mumbled, Finn took a seat next to her, copying her position.
"Thanks" he mumbled back.
"Wait! Where are Sam and Quinn?" Rachel said, only just noticing the two blondes had took off, obviously fleeing from the fight she had gotten into with Finn.
The two blondes were still in the costume closet, there arms filled with as many useful things they could fing lying around.
Sam walked towards the door, turning the knob he tried to open it, after a few failed attempt he worriedly looked at Quinn.
"I think we are locked in!"
"What?" Quinn said, flinging her pile to the floor she rushed over to Sam, who was desperately trying to open the door, but failing in doing so.
"How can we be locked in?" she asked.
"I don't know, the door must have one of those self-lock things" he answered her.
"Oh god, what are we going to do?" the two then looked at each, they shared a glance of understanding, they both turned to the door and knocked as hard as they could and shouting as loud as they could.
"FINN!"
"RACHEL!"
"HELP!"
Santana, Puck, Artie and Brittany were all circling Blaine, listening intently on what the boy was saying.
"Well, Kurt told me not to tell anyone!"
"Just, tell, we promise we won't tell anybody not remotely interested in Kurt" Puck said, mumbling the last part under his breath so that Blaine couldn't hear but the three around him could, they nodded with him and Blaine gave up.
"You won't tell anyone?" the others shook their heads and Blaine started his story.
"Well, you know how, back in high school, Karofsky used to bully Kurt because he was openly gay?"
"Yeah, and then it turned out Karofsky was gay" Santana giggled, the others were shocked at this, not knowing about that piece of information a mixed chorus of 'WHATS?' were being asked.
"Well, Karofsky was g-"Santana started before being interrupted by Blaine.
"Guys, my story first, please!" he said, emphasizing the please, frustrated about their lack of a decent attention span.
"Sorry' the others mumbled together before turning the attention fully to Blaine, except for Brittany, she was staring at the ceiling, completely lost in thought, that was before Artie nudged her and she, like the others, desperately looked at Blaine for the full story.
"Karofsky bullied Kurt for being openly gay, well, one time Kurt went in to the locker room to confront him, Kurt asks what he's so scared of, Dave responded snidely, "Besides you sneaking in here to peek at my junk?" to which Kurt responds, exasperated, "Oh right, every straight guy's nightmare- that all us gays are secretly out to molest and convert you!" He then wenton to tell Dave he's not his type, calling him "Hamhock", Dave then suddenly stopped what he's doing and angrily asks "That right?". Kurt, continuing his rant says "I don't dig on chubby boys who sweat too much and are going to be bald by the time they're 30." Dave looked visibly distressed at this and tells Kurt not to push him further, holding his fist up to the other boy's face. Kurt told him to go ahead and hit him, Dave warned him a second time. Kurt yells at Dave that "you can't punch the gay out of me anymore than I can punch the ignoramus out of you", and Dave screams at Kurt to "get out of my face"- fist now uncurled and pointing to the door. Kurt then tells Dave that he is "nothing but a scared little boy who can't handle how extraordinarily ordinary he is". Dave then suddenly grabs Kurt's face with both hands on his cheeks and unexpectedly kisses him. Dave releases Kurt, looking at him for a moment- and Kurt is too shocked to move or speak. Dave leans in to kiss Kurt again- not holding him at all this time- and Kurt pushes him away forcefully. Dave looked visibly upset, lets out a frustrated noise, hits a locker with both hands, and leaves the locker room sniffling and near tears." Blaine finished, surprised he remembered the entire story.
"WOW, Karofsky kissed Kurt!" Artie said, slightly disgusted by the story too.
"Yeah, that is gross!" Puck said, miming being sick. (Did any one see that in Born This Way?)
"Wait, how do you know every little detail of this story?" Santana asked Blaine, surpised about his knowledge on the topic.
"Kurt told me" he shrugged, not knowing why that was so important.
"So, did you ever kiss Kurt?" she asked again.
"Or did Kurt ever kiss you?" Puck added.
"Kurt kissed me" Brittany randomly said.
"Well…" Blaine said, ignoring Brittany's stupid comment, but a little hurt Kurt never told him that.
"Oh my god, you did, aww… that is so sweet, so what happened?" Santana asked him, immediately knowing the answer after Blaine trailed off his sentence.
"Come on guys, I'm not telling you that, it's between me and Kurt! Now come on, we should probably start heading towards the auditorium anyways"
The others sighed, knowing he wouldn't give him the answer, they collected the CDs they decided they were taking back and headed towards the door.
"I don't need you to tell me, I'll just ask Kurt, he can talk for days at a time if it's about you" Santana said as they were leaving, upon hearing this Blaine secretly smiled to himself, learning yet another thing he didn't know about Kurt.
"Wait!" Puck said stopping the moving group, he handed his CDs to Artie and rushed back into the library, seconds later he had come out with the files on the New Directions.
"I'm not leaving without these! How else am I going to get payback?" everyone laughed at this, they walked down the corridor, chatting about all the things that could be hidden in the ex- gleeks files.
Lauren, Mike, Tina, Mercedes and Kurt rushed over to Mr. Shue.
"What are you doing up?" Mercedes asked.
"I don't know, I got up and looked around and the place was empty, I tried to stand up but I then heard my ankle crack and I've been in pain ever since!" everyone grimaced at this, disgusted about the comment.
"Oh, Mr. Shue takes these!" Kurt said, handing a bottle of tablets to Mike.
"But Kurt, these are-"Mike began, he got cut off by Kurt's glare, he sighed then opened the bottle, he handed two tablets to the teacher.
"Take them, they're pain tablets" he lied.
Mr. shue obviously trusted him as he grabbed the tablets and downed them with a bottle of water Tina had earlier gave him.
Minutes later the teacher was snoring his head off and resting in Mike's arms.
"Alright, to the auditorium we go!' Kurt said, leading the group out of the room, they had obviously figured they were supposed to meet there.
"Wait, can you hear that?" Rachel asked the taller boy, they listened carefully and could both faintly hear screams.
"oh my god, it's god!" Finn said, exicted about the 'discovery' he had made.
Rachel stared at him like he was stupid, "Finn, it is not god, and even if it was, why is he screaming help?"
"Well, maybe he got his finger jammed in a car door, I've done that once, it hurts!" Finn argued. (I have actually got my finger trapped in a car door, it HURT LIKE HELL!)
"Finn, it's obviously Sam and Quinn, they must be stuck somewhere, so quiet down and follow the voices!" Rachel said, surprised by Finns stupidity.
The two followed the voices to the costume closet, they ealised the two must be locked in, they each tried to open the door, with no luck.
"It's stuck" Rachel said, frustrated at their failed rescue mission. "How are we going to get them out?"
"Get who out?" a voice called out from behind them, they both immediately turned around and realized it was Santana, Puck, Blaine, Artie and Brittany.
"Quinn and Sam are stuck in the closet!" Rachel answered Puck.
"Stuck in a closet huh? I've been there, remember?" he said, nudging Santana who giggled.
"Wonder what they're doing in there!" he asked, rhetorically.
Santana again giggled and Rachel looked annoyed.
"Noah Puckerman now is not the time for you stupid jokes" Rachel snapped at him.
"What is it the time for?" they heard another voice behind them, they all jumped in illusion and turned around, being calmed when they noticed it was Lauren, Mike, Tina, Mercedes and Kurt.
"Sam and Quinn are stuck in the closet" Finn explained to them, he then looked at Mr. Shue, who Mike had placed on the stage, who was mumbling in his sleep 'Terri, Terri, don't, no not Mr. Snugglehugs!'
Everyone cracked up at this, they were interrupted though when Quinn screamed out Finn and Sam screamed out Rachel.
"Wow, never knew Quinn was a screamer" Puck said, chuckling at his own little joke.
"How could you not know she was a screamer, you slept with her?' Finn said, confused.
"Oh, I…I… I mean." Puck said, desperately trying to correct himself.
Everyone looked at him amused and mockingly, he sighed loudly and gave up.
"Even if she was, why is she screaming out Finn and Sam is screaming out Rachel" Santana asked, everyone thought about this for a while.
'Look, guys, how are we going to get them out?" Rachel said, annoyed that no one had bothered to help.
"Oh, wait, use these' Lauren said, handing Rachel a drawer full of keys.
"Why do you have a drawer full of keys?" she asked, confused.
"We got them from the nurses office." Lauren explained.
'OK, let me ask again, why is there a drawer full of keys in the nurse's office?' Rachel asked again, before Lauren could answer Sam and Quinn screamed out again and Rachel thrust the drawer into Pucks hand, who staggered back from the force, Rachel then tried key after key.
25 failed keys later Rachel had finally found the key that fit the door, she opened the door and two rather exhausted blondes came tumbling out.
"Guys, what took you so long, we have been in there for ages and you've been out here fighting, did you even think about how cramped it is in there?" Sam said, angry at the others, the others simply looked down guilty.
"But, on the plus side, we did find a karaoke." Quinn chirped in, cheering all of the guilty people up.
"Oh awesome, we found mad libs too." Tina said.
Everyone's excitement picked up, they carried the karaoke machine onto the stage and took their seats, Sam and Quinn decide to go up first, they took their place on the stage, preparing to sing Quinn's favorite song ever since she got engaged.
A/N: Quinn's all time fav. song since she got engaged is A Little Time by The Beautiful South.
The song is about ending a unhappy relationship- the thing Quinn wants to do.
