A/N: Sooooo….I wrote a little bit from Finn's perspective, and I wrote all of chapter 4 from Blaine/Kurt and Rachel's perspective. It's time to find out why Finn has a temper! Blaine and Kurt make minor appearances! Hold on tight kids…it's gonna be a hell of a chapter!
Chapter 5
Finn's POV
I bust the windows out your car
And no it didn't mend my broken heart
I'll probably have all of these ugly scars
But right now I don't care about that part
I bust the windows out your car
After I saw you laying next to her
I didn't wanna but I took my turn
I'm glad I did it cuz you had to learn
Blaine's car was his pride and joy. He drove a rebuilt car that he'd helped his father with. His father had suddenly passed and left the car to him. It was a 1960 Cadillac Coupe de Ville Low Rider. He kept it in the parking garage of our building. It was lemon yellow, and Blaine's pride and joy. I took a bat to the tail light and sighed. I knew that I felt better. I just kept swinging at it and connecting, knowing that things were going to be so much better. Rachel had hurt me again, and I knew that I was dumb enough to push her away. She went into the arms of Blaine. My brother's openly gay boyfriend, who suddenly isn't gay. That pissed me off, so I swung at his car again. After I left enough dents on his car, I found Rachel's. Rachel drove a modest car. She'd bought a 2000 Saturn SL2 four door in Gunmetal Gray when we first moved up here. I needed to find some closure for that. So I took that out too. Just for good measure. I looked over at my work and nodded. I didn't want to turn into this angry guy, but Rachel had legitimately hurt me. How was I supposed to just turn the other cheek and pretend that things were going to be okay with us. I knew I had to move out of the apartment now, because Rachel would stay there. Just as I came into the hallway from the parking garage, I saw Rachel and Blaine heading the same way I just came in. Blaine was holding Rachel close, because she was crying, and his black eye was prominent. Rachel looked up at me and shook her head.
"How could you do this?"
"Me? Me? How could I do this? You're the one who left me, Rachel. Remember? You opted into this twisted relationship with Blaine, and you're the one that hurt me! So I don't even want to get into this."
"Then don't, but you need to know one thing. I didn't set out to hurt you."
"Oh good. I'm glad. I'm so glad you didn't set out to hurt me, Rach. That just makes this whole fucking thing a joke. Now, your cars are out there…right."
Right away, Blaine spoke up. He looked petrified. He pulled Rachel to the parking lot and looked at the cars. He ran his hands through his hair and looked at me. He looked at Rachel's car and sighed. He walked over to me and shook his head.
"Low Finn, really low. My car, I understand…but Rachel's?"
I knew how much Blaine loved his car. I knew how much that meant to him, especially now that he'd lost his dad so suddenly. I instantly felt a twinge of guilt, but then realized how pissed at him I truly was.
"Well, maybe you should've thought of that before you jumped in bed with my girlfriend."
I said, walking back down the hallway. I didn't know where they were going, and I didn't care enough to ask. I walked back into the apartment and sat down in my chair, putting the bat next to my recliner. I was in a good mood and nothing was going to bring me down. That I was sure.
I must admit it helped a little bit
To think of how you'd feel when you saw it
I didn't know that I had that much strength
But I'm glad you'll see what happens when
You see you can't just play with people's feelings
Tell them you love them and don't mean it
You'll probably say that it was juvenile
But I think that I deserve to smile
Rachel's POV
I had to take the bus to work while my car was being repaired. Blaine told me that the damage was minimal and could be fixed, he was actually fixing it for me. I felt for him though, because his was going to cost a lot more to get fixed, because it is vintage. It was going to be hard to avoid Finn, since we worked in the same building, for different producers. I walked into the building and had turned to my left when I ran into him. Like literally ran into him. I hadn't wanted to see him now, I was still pissed that he'd damaged my car.
"Sorry."
I said, trying to be polite. He'd had his briefcase, a bagel with a schmeer of cream cheese and a latte. He'd never looked better. We were in the elevator with two other people and they got off a couple floors later. He pushed the stop button and the elevator lurched to a stop and he looked at me.
"Rachel."
"Finn."
"How's your car?"
"Fucked up, thanks to you. Blaine is spending today fixing it, and then he's having his car looked at."
"You do understand why I'm so angry, right?"
I nodded. I knew why he was angry. I didn't know why he ruined my car. But I didn't want to fight with him. I wanted us to be friends, at the very least.
"I do. But Finn, I don't want to fight with you. In fact, I'm hoping we can be friends."
He looked at me like I had three heads and the burst out laughing. He pulled me into a hug, and then he glared at me. I knew he wouldn't be friends with me, we were going to be adversaries.
"Friends? You want to be friends with me, Rachel? Are you serious? I wouldn't be friends with you now if you were the only person on the face of the earth."
"I deserve that. I know I do. But you'll one day see why I did it."
And then I pushed the lever back and Finn and I got off the elevator and went to our respective offices. It was when I got to my office I knew I'd be in huge trouble. There was a note from my boss, the legendary Andrew Lloyd Webber on my door. Well, from his secretary. And I knew something was going on.
I bust the windows out you car
You know I did it cause I left my mark
Wrote my initials with a crow bar
And then I drove off into the dark
I bust the windows out your car
You should feel lucky that that's all I did
After five whole years of this bullshit
Gave you all of me and you played with it
Finn's POV
I arrived at my office and saw that there was a note from my boss, Julie Taymor hanging on my door. Julie and I never saw eye to eye on most things, and she was constantly out of town, but today she was back. The note said to call her because something had come up she needed to speak to me about. So I stepped into my office and called Julie. I was a little nervous about what was going on, but when I found out, I was livid.
"Finn, listen. We just got some amazing news. We are going to be collaborating on an awesome new musical! Someone is brave enough to want to re-do Sunset Boulevard! Anyway, Andrew Lloyd Webber's second-in-command Rachel whatsherface was cast in the lead and we're going to need to pick up some of that slack."
"Rachel Berry? Was cast as the lead in 'Sunset Boulevard'?"
"So it says. Why?"
"She's my girlfriend."
I said, without thinking. How did I not know she was going out for the lead? Because she didn't open up to me. She spent time with Blaine, and I was going to say something to her.
"Oh. Well congratulations. You're her go-to guy. No matter what. Whatever she needs, you get. Your salary has been doubled. You're dismissed."
And I walked down to my office. I sat down at my desk and picked up the phone and dialed Rachel's office number. I waited while it rang and smiled when her secretary picked up.
"Rachel Berry's office this is Hannah."
"Hannah hi, it's Finn Hudson."
"Hey Finn, I'll connect you."
"Thank you."
And I waited until I heard the click. I heard her breathing and then I sighed. I couldn't be mad at her for not telling me about the audition and subsequent getting of the role.
"Hi Finn."
"Hey Rach. Congratulations on nabbing the lead in 'Sunset Boulevard.' I hear you got it."
"I did, thank you. It's been a long process, but I finally did it. You're calling about being my handler, aren't you?"
"Yes. Why didn't I know you were auditioning for roles?"
"You knew. You just didn't listen."
That was most likely true. Rachel and I worked so much that we didn't know what each other said half the time. She was right though. I didn't listen, because I was mad she was auditioning and not being stable.
"So, you landed it using Barbra's 'Don't Rain On My Parade', huh?"
"No, actually. I changed my audition piece. I landed the lead doing 'Seasons Of Love' from Rent and then the theme from 'Sunset Boulevard' and they did a callback and I got it."
"Wow. You changed your audition piece."
"Yeah, Blaine thought it would help me land roles."
I nodded. Of course he did. Remind me to thank him later, for making me become Rachel's handler. I looked at her and smiled as politely as I possibly could.
"Well, congratulations. Now, if there's anything you need, you let me know."
I said, walking out of her office. Something had to change. And I'm sure it would, over the course of these next months.
I bust the windows out your car
But it don't compare to my broken heart
You could never feel how I felt that day
Until that happens baby you don't know pain
Yeah, I did it, you should know it
I ain't sorry, you deserved it
After what you did, you deserved it
I ain't sorry, no
You broke my heart, so I broke your car
You caused me pain so I did the same
Even though what you did was much worse
I had to do something to make you hurt, yeah
Oh, but why am I still crying
Why am I the one who's still crying
Oh, oh, you really hurt me baby
You really, you really hurt me babe
I bust the windows out your car
A/N: A little tale from Finn's perspective. Needed to get it out. Thanks for the reviews! They make me sane! On to chapter six, and Blaine's reaction when he finds out!
