Fyero had been getting bullied more and more lately, and it absolutely broke Finn's heart.

His son had shed more tears in the past few months than anyone ever thought he would because Fyero Hudson was one tough cookie. Finn had been there through all of his son's tears , listened to him the countless times he told him about how kids were calling him really hurtful names like fag and queer, and had helped him to believe in himself.

Everything was good that morning when Finn dropped Fyero of at school, but when he picks him up after glee club practice that afternoon Feyro breaks down in tears "Hey Buddy, what's going on?" , Finn asks concerned.

"I don't know what to do Dad everyone is always being so mean to me!" Fyero says, tears streaming down his face.

" I know, and to know the kids at school are doing that to you just breaks my heart."

"Dad I can't face these kids anymore I just can't!"

"I'm so sorry you feel so helpless." Finn says hugging Fyero.

Finn knows what he has to do for his son, something he never wanted to have to do. He has to take Fyero to someone who has been in his shoes. He has to take him to talk to his uncles. He has to take him to Kurt and Blain

Fyero calmed down eventually, but he was strangely quiet for the rest of the night. That worried Finn more than anything; Fyero was rarely quiet (that was a trait he inherited from Rachel).

At dinner Stella rambled away about her day at Pre-School; Rachel nodded and smiled at her younger daughter, interested in everything. Finn smiled at his daughter but his mind was on Fyero. Why didn't anyone but himself notice the pain Fyero was in?

That's when he remembered…

"I'm going to use the phone for a sec." He mumbled. He stood up and wiped his chin with a napkin. Rachel shot him an appalled look and he rolled his eyes and smiled."Business call, Rach."

He jogged into the hallway and grabbed the phone from the stand. He dialed the only person who could fix his son. He dialed his brother.

It rang a few times and then a exasperated voice answered. "Finn Gigantor Hudson, this better be good I was in the middle of my skin routine!"

"It's about your nephew!" Finn growled into the phone. He was in no mood for his brother's prissy problems.

"What's wrong with Fy-Fy?" Kurt gasped.

Finn took the phone away from his ear to mumble a few profanities. "Kurt, I told you not to call him Fy-Fy!" Finn paused, "listen this 'coming out thing' it's tearin' him apart… and I'm afraid…" He couldn't finish that sentence.

"That he'll end up like Karofsky, only without the luck?" Kurt finished with a whisper.

"Yeah, I just he's my son and I love him so much it breaks my heart, that he might not have a reason to want to live." Finn starts to cry.

"Shhhh Finn it's okay , bring him over here later and Blaine and I will talk him, we'll make him see that there's hope, I promise"

" Okay I'll bring him over in an hour, thanks"

"You're welcome, bye"

Finn hangs up the phone and he then starts to became less worried.

"Dad, why are you taking me to my uncles' ?" Fyero asks on the way to Kurt and Blaine's house.

"They want to talk to you." Finn answered.

"I don't want to talk to anyone right now."

"I know, but they're worried about you, we all are."

"Dad, don't worry about me I'm fine"

"No you're not Fyero, I know how much you're hurting, you don't have to hide anything from me. I understand you don't want to talk to your uncles , but will you please do this for me, I don't like seeing you so hurt."

"Fine, but only because I have to, I love you Dad!"

"I love you too Fyero, so much!"

"Uncle Kurt,is my umm… is this normal?" Fyero asks his uncle.

"Yes , very normal ,people are gonna hurt you, you are gonna cry, you might even hate yourself but everything will slowly turn around you just have to hang in there alright?" Kurt says squeezing his nephew's hand.

"I really don't know if I can do that much longer… I have to tell you something"

"Yes Fyero?"
"I cut" Fyero says lifting up his bracelets to reveal the marks and cuts on his wrists

"Fyero ,why haven't you told anyone?"

"Because I'm ashamed… ashamed that sometimes I want to die!"

"That's ok just don't give up ok because we all love you, you're dad loves you so much, you know? You don't have to hide anything from us we are your family we are not going to judge you. You need to remember there is always hope for you."

"Thanks Uncle Kurt I feel so much better now, I promise I won't give up."

"You're very welcome, now come here and give your favorite uncle a hug!"

"So are you feeling any better buddy?" Finn asked his son on their way home from Kurt and Blaine's house.

"Yeah Dad, so much better."

"That's really good to hear Bud."

"Yeah… Dad I need to tell you something."

"Yes Fyero?"

"I have been cutting myself."

"Fyero, thank you so much for being honest with me, it was the right thing for you to do."

" So you're not even mad at me?"

"No, how could I be mad at you for being in pain? Just promise me you won't give up. I'll always be her for you."

"I promise Dad, I love you thank you so much for everything."

"You're welcome Buddy ,I love you too."

Finally for the first time that day Fyero was happy. Things were gonna get better he just knew. All he had to do was have hope. Sometimes when you have a hard time all you need are a few good heart to hearts to remind you that you are loved.
