Monday came along quick enough. Finn and I walked in holding hands. Him with his Letterman jacket and me with my cheerio outfit. We went to our classes and then lunch. Everything was fine for the most part. then some girls started teasing Quinn which I won't stand for. I marched over to Quinn. "You four leave now." The gave me a look. "Did I fucking stutter no. So unless you want me to accidentally throw some slushy on your fake ass designer clothing I think you should go." "Who do you think you are?" "I'm someone you don't want to mess with. So leave her alone." One girl got in my face. "Or what?" then it happened. A red slushy was thrown in her face. I smirked at her. "Told you so. you don't mess with cheerleaders or jocks or their baby mama's. Got it." They turned and walked off. I turned and saw Puck. He gave us a sly smile. "Come on Quinn I'll walk you to class." she smiled and walked with you. "Thank you." "girl I got your back." she smiled. "So you and Finn?" "Recent." She smiled. "You two are good together." "Thank you." After class we went to glee. Rachel and Finn's piece was really good. He wasn't really paying attention to her at all and she was getting upset. Kurt and Mercedes were amazing. Then it was my turn. I pulled up a chair and sat in front of Artie. He took my hands and we smiled at each other.

We got an applause. "Strange song choice." "Artie and I are strange." Mr Schu smiled. I went over and sat with Finn. "Weird song but it sounded good." He gave me a kiss. "Yours was pretty good." Alek walked in silence fell over the room. "Can I sing a song real quick?" His face was more or less beat and swollen. Puck and Quinn gave me looks. "what happened to your brother?" "We got into a fight." He looked at me. "You did that?" "Maybe." I said shyly while twirling my hair. Finn squeezed my hand. "Now I know not to ever upset you." He gave me a reassuring smile.
Until June- What I've Done
Underneath the sky we sleep
The sunlight in my eyes keeps me from seeing clearly
Deep beneath the stars I'm lost
The darkness in my heart keeps me from letting go
Of everything I fear the most
And now I'm begging you don't let go, now I'm alone
And I'm ashamed
Hold me in your arms
And now I'm sorry for what I've done
Tied around the mess I've made
The air I breathe much harder
Every time I speak
The words you've heard a thousand times
I've tried before but now i feel like letting go
Of everything that hurts the most
And now I'm begging you don't let go and I'm alone
And I'm ashamed
Hold me in your arms
And now I'm sorry for what I've done
And after all is said and done
You pick me up no matter where i fall
(No matter where i fall)
You hold me in your arms
Forgive me when I'm wrong
And now I'm alone
And I'm ashamed
Hold me in your arms
And now I'm sorry for what I've done
And now I'm alone
And I'm ashamed
Hold me in your arms
And now I'm sorry for what I've done
He was crying after the song. I got up and walked over to him and just held him in my arms. He broke down and cried in my arms "I'm so sorry Nicolette, I'm sorry for that night that i couldn't help and everything that happened before. I'm sorry that I've been so mean to Crisstoff. I'm sorry I let her die. I'm sorry I let them hurt you guys and I couldn't do anything." The tears fell from my eyes. "Alekzander you need help." "I know I called mom. She found a place kind of close to here. I'm going to be leaving tonight. Will you come visit?" I wiped his tears. "Of course." We sat there forgetting about the others. Rachel was the first to come over then slowly but surely everyone else did. they held us. After our emotional little wreck we separated. "I'm leaving straight from here." "You call me when you get there and get checked in. Let me know when we can come visit." He started walking out then came back. He went up to Quinn and kissed her. A full real kiss. She was astounded. "Coming back for you." He winked and was out.
I got home and was dead. Nicolai ordered pizza. I went and sat next to him on the couch. "Hey kid." He smiled at me. "How are you?" "I'm tired." I rubbed his head. "I know I don't say it enough but I love you." "I know you do." "when's your first game?" "Tomorrow at five." "Okay well we are all going." "Really?" His eyes lit up. "I'm sorry for not being around as much as I should. I want you to know i care. Yes I'm going. What color is your team?" "We are purple." "I'll make sure we all wear purple." He hugged me and cuddled into my side. "How's school going?" "I've got all A's and B's." "I am so proud of you." Dmitri came down with Crisstoff. He climbed on top of Nikolai and I held Criss. "I love you both very much." "I know sissy." He smiled his big smile. "I love you too." He climbed over Nik and gave me a slobbery kiss on the cheek.
