I don't own glee.

School was now back in session. Alot had changed. I was single even though Nick hadn't said the words. He just changed his Facebook status, I wasn't as happy, and in a little less than two months, I'd be a dad.

"Jeff!" I was pulled out of my thoughts by Trent. "Dude you look like shit. "

"Thanks Trent. That's what everyone wants to hear." I had become a sarcastic asshole these few weeks. "Maybe if you told everyone that then you wouldn't be bullied and everyone would be happy. Oh wait no one gives a damn about you."

"Jeff!" I glared at Wes. "Jeff that was uncalled for now apologize."

"What are you my mother? I'm outta here." I got up from the cafeteria table and walked out. I walked out of the school and headed the bleachers where I knew I would find Quinn. She had become leader of the Skanks and I knew she could give me what I needed.

"Sterling." one of the Skanks growled. I just smirked and made my way to the couch where a certain blonde was sitting. I sat and grabbed a smoke. I put it in my mouth and let the smoke fill my lungs. The rush of Nicotine always calmed me.

"Hard day?"

"Like you care Fabray. And for your info I just need something to take the edge off." She took the cigaret out of my mouth and inhaled from it. I took it back and that's how I spent my afternoon. Smoking with the Skanks. After school we went to make trouble and that's how he found me. Drunk and high off my ass.

It was night and the skanks and I were sitting in the woods around a fire, smoking joint after joint and finishing bottle after bottle of Jack. I could hear laughing off in the distance, but it felt like I was hearing things. "I'd abandon that kid in a heartbeat. It's obviously not yours."

"Probably but Oh well. She's not keeping it so it ain't my problem. All my problems are floating around in this bottle right here. " I lifted the half empty bottle. "Hello problems. I'm gonna drink you now and then you'll be bye bye forever and ever." I took a drink and smirked as the familiar burn made its way down my throat. "God I love you liquor. Marry me and we can have the best time ever!" the heard the girls laughing and agree with me. I took another swig.

"Jeff? Quinn?" I looked up. I knew that voice but right now my mind wasn't working. My eyes met a guy with brown hair and chocolate brown eyes.

"Nicky. Long time no see. You shouldjoinus." my words were starting to slur together and I started giggling. "I sound funny." I burst out laughing again and Quinn joined in with me. I felt someone pulling me up. "Letmego!" another burst of giggles. I was dragged to a black ford truck. It was familiar too. I found my self in the passenger seat and being driven home.

"God Jeff what's wrong with you.?"

"I'm High and Drunk and who knows what else. Amazing feeling."

"I mean what happend that made you go insane. Your gonna kill yourself."

"Like you fucking care. " he was such a high killer. "You dumped me for no reason cuz Kate's a bitch and you should know that but no. So now I'm happy and you have to make me miserable again. "

"You think your happy? Your fucking stoned and drunk. That's not real happiness just a figment of your imagination."

"Fuck off Duval? I don't need you or anyone. I have Quinn and she has my true friends. Rolled in a portable piece of paper. I love it and it can't smash my heart." I felt a tear roll down my cheek.

"Jeff..."

"Just get me to my fucking house. " I looked out the window. My buzz was slowly going away and I hated Nick for making it end. He drove in silence for the rest of the drive. He parked and I got out falling on my face. "Fuck my Life!" Nick got out and helped me inside and up to my room.

"Where are your parents?"

"In Australia like they have been for the past 3 weeks. Fucking pricks. "

"Will you stop. You hate cussing."

"I've changed. Just ask the guys. "

"I know Wes called. He said Trent was in tears because of something you said. "

"And you came?"

"Yes. Jeff they're our friends you cant treat them like that. I know your hurting cuz Kate cheated on you but, you have to move on."

I stared at my ex. He thought this was about Kate. "I'm over Kate."

"Then why are you acting like an asshole?"

"BECUASE YOU FUCKING LEFT!"

He stared at me then shook his head. "I was your rebound. You didn't actually love me. It's fine though. Your still my best friend. I just needed time to be by myself. "

"Nick...I love you and only you. Kate lied. She's been trying to get me back but I don't want anyone but you. I loved you and you left without even a word. And broke up with me over the relationship status on fucking Facebook."

"I know... Her words just felt true. I love you too." I grabbed Nick and held him close. I inhaled his scent. He was my ultamet addiction. His hand ran through my hair. "Please stop being like this. I want my old Jeffy back."

"Ok...but your still at Dalton."

"Actually I left today. It wasn't my setting. Didn't feel like home."

"Good cuz you weren't home. McKinleys your home."

"Actually Jeff...your the only thing that feels like home to me. I love you so much and I'm sorry I led you into a depressed mess.I'll never forgive myself for that. "

"Well you should. Now I'm gonna go to sleep cuz I know I'm gonna have hangover tomorrow." he laughed and lay down with me. His smile was the last thing I saw before I passed out.

Everything went back to normal. Nick came to school the following week and I turned back to my old self. Even Quinn managed to revert to her normal self. I stilhas mocked cigarets though. It had become a habit and even though Nick didn't like it, it was somewhat better than having me high. I tried to stop, even started using Nicotine gum. Me and Nick became a power couple which Rachel was furious about but her voice was drowned out by the rest of the group.

Today was a typical October day. We were in glee talking about our Halloween plans when Amy, Kate's BFF, came rushing into the choir room. "Jeff! Kate she's...she's in the hospital." I stared at the girl. What? No. Not now. I looked at my boyfriend as he stood up and held his had out for me. I took it and we made our way out to his truck. No words were said. How could we when my life was about to change. Our life's were about to change.

We got to the hospital and I ran inside. The nurse told me the floor and room number and I made it to the elevator. Nick caught up to me. "Jeff. Jeff look at me." I shook my head and he made me look at him. "Whatever happens I will be there for you. Ok? I will always be there for you. " I nodded and the doors opened. I took a deep breath and made my way to Kate's room.

It was about 5 hours when Kate finally had her. It was a girl and I could her her crying. Quinn said it be easier if I didn't see the baby but my heart started to break just thinking about giving her to random people. I looked up."Wait. I want a paternity test." I felt Kate glaring at me but the doctor complied and led me to a different room. They took some blood and then left. I sat down in the chair and waited. It was the longest hour of my life but the doctor came back in. "Mr. Sterling there is a 99% chance that she is your daughter. " I nodded. That's all I needed to hear. I made my way back to Kate. She was signing over her rights. She handed me the paper. If I signed I could go back to being a teen and not a care in the world. But I would have a care. My care would be if my daughter was ok. If her adopted parents loved her, if when she grew up she would hate me.

"No."

"No?. Jeff."

"I can't sign them. If you don't want her then fine. But I'm not you and I can't give away something that's a pdice of me. So I'll take her. "

"Uh no. This is what we decided. For her to be adopted."

"Kate I'm not arguing with you. I'm taking her and you can't do anything because you already signed your rights away." she frowned and looked at the lawyer that delt with adoptions. He nodded. " Mr. Sterling is right." he gathered his papers and left with a nod to me. I left after him and went to the waiting room. Nick shot out of his chair and over to me.

"So wanna go see my daughter?"

He smiled and we went to the nursery. The nurse handed her to me and I held her. "Did you name her." Nick asked. I shook my head no. "Haven't even thought about it. I just decided to keep her. "

"Your keeping her? Good I don't think you could handled giving her up."

"I know Nick. " I sighed "I know. Adalyn Marie."

"I like that."

I handed her to Nick and he held her. They looked so cute together. I smiled and took my phone out and took a picture. My new screensaver. I looked at the too people who owned my heart and I knew things were gonna change for the better.
