Hey guys! I'm glad to hear you guys are liking this story so far! I decided that this chapter is really going to be centered on Finchel. As I started righting this, I felt that it would be easier to center Finn more in the next chapter. I felt that it was important for both Finn and Rachel to have their own separate chapter so you guys could see both sides of their story. This chapter is very intense. (Fair warning). The chapter title is from the song "It Ends Tonight" by All American Rejects. Again, I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING FROM GLEE OR ANY ARTISTS! Enjoy!


When Finn came home after another seventy two hour shift, he was exhausted. It was almost mid-night when he got home. When he stepped into the apartment, he saw that Rachel's purse was on the dresser, so he knew she was home. He then turned to see that the kitchen light was on. When Finn stepped into the kitchen, he saw Rachel in her pajamas with a cup of tea. She looked up at Finn from the book she was reading when she felt that she wasn't alone.

"Hello Finn," she said quietly.

Finn started going to the refrigerator in an attempt to get some food. Rachel then stood up and started speaking again.

"How was work?" Rachel asked trying to get frustrated too quickly. Surely Finn has some kind of manners. Or at least have enough common sense to say hello.

Finn kept ignoring her as he was preparing some left over stir fry.

"Can I eat Rachel?" Finn asked a bit annoyed, not even looking at Rachel. "I haven't eaten in about ten hours." Finn had a very busy last day of work on his shift, and honestly talking Rachel was the last thing on his mind right now. He just wanted to get something to eat, get a shower and got to bed.

Rachel didn't seemed too thrilled with that answer because she began to yell. "Finn! Would you at least look at me! I swear to god, didn't your mother or even Kurt teach you manners!?"

Finn, then turned around with his hands in fists. Rachel was seriously pissing him off. This is not the way he wanted to come home from work at all.

"Yes, Rachel. They did in fact teach me manners." He said with a low growl in his throat.

Rachel huffed. "Well then act on them at least." She said with a sneer.

"Cut the crap, Rachel. What the hell do you want? I'm really not in the mood to talk." Finn said as he turned his back towards her. He just getting his stir fry out of the microwave before he heard Rachel speak again.

"Finn, I just want to talk!" Rachel yelled.

"That's what we're doing right?"

Rachel ignored him and then continuing. "Finn, we need to talk about you not doing you share of taking care of this apartment."

Finn huffed and rolled his eyes and then turned around. "Can we talk about this later?"

Rachel answered that question quickly. "No. No it can't Finn Hudson." She then paused for a moment, took a deep breath before continuing. "You haven't really helped around the apartment at all Finn. I've been doing all the work and you haven't even done anything to help me take of care of this place, keep it clean and running properly."

"Excuse me? I pay the rent for the apartment and I pay for both of the cars, Rachel. Do you not appreciate that?" Finn sneered.

Rachel huffed. "That's all you do! Who takes care of this apartment?"

"I..."

"Me, Finn!"

"But..."

"Who buys all the groceries Finn?"

"Uhh,"

"Me! Who brings them in Finn? That's right, me! I've been supporting us a lot with just my salary. While all you do is pay rent every month, and pay for our cars looked at which really isn't a whole lot!"

"Rachel, we both agreed that we would do those things. That's fair."

"That's not the point Finn! We are barely living off of pay check to pay check. There are things in this apartment that we need and I can't afford to get them."

"What things Rachel?"

Rachel took a quick breath before continuing. "I keep telling you that we need more shelves in the closet, new window coverings because they keep falling off and we are needing a new refrigerator because it's not keeping the food as cold as it used to be!"

Finn starred at her for a moment. "Those are not needs, Rachel. They are wants. There's a difference. If you want them, get them yourself."

Rachel glared. Her eyes were full of fury. "Did you not hear what I just said!? I just told you that I barely have enough to pay all the bills and groceries that I don't have enough to get them. While you have about half of your savings saved for a new car that we don't need!"

"I have been saving my money for a new car ever since we got married Rachel, I pay our rent and car payments first and then I save the rest. There isn't a whole lot of money left over afterwards. You know I've been saving up for a while Rachel. I'm not letting your wants get in the way of that."

Rachel and turned around breathed out of her mouth and pinched her nose. "Well," she said quietly. "At least I'm not a lazy ass like you." She said in a whisper.

Finn heard her though and turned around. His eyes were now very dark and angry. "Excuse me?"

Rachel looked over her shoulder. She wasn't going to take it back. "You heard me. You are a lazy ass." Then Rachel left into their bedroom.

Finn stomped right after her. "At least I'm not some stuck up bitch." He said bitterly.

Rachel then stopped and turned around with flaring eyes. "WELL AT LEAST I CAN TAKE OF MYSELF IF I WAS ON MY OWN! YOU ON THE OTHER HAND, YOU CAN'T EVEN CLEAN A BATHROOM RIGHT!"

"Stop it Rachel..." Finn warned with his teeth gripping together. But Rachel wouldn't stop.

"YOU ARE SO STUPID AND SELF-CENTERED AND DON"T EVEN CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE WE LOVE!" Rachel shouted. As she was referring to her daddy.

There was a moment of silence. All they could hearing was Rachel heavy breathing as all the shouting took a lot out of her. Then she realized that she said and covered her mouth. She didn't mean to say the last part of her rant. Finn on the other hand, stood frozen and held a death glare on her.

"Get out." Finn said in a low growl.

Rachel then spoke gently. "Finn, I..." But Rachel couldn't finish her sentence.

With a roar, Finn stomped over to her and thrust a finger to her "YOU SHUT UP! I'M SICK OF YOU! YOU DON"T GIVE ME ANY RESPECT FOR ANYTHING I DO! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD MY JOB IS AT ALL! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TELL ME THAT I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE I LOVE!" Finn then looked away and took couple of breaths.

Rachel on the other hand, had her hand over her mouth. Then Finn looked up at her and started again.

"IF YOU CAN"T GIVE ME THE RESPECT I DESERVE, THEN WHAT'S THE POINT OF THIS MARRIAGE!?" Finn then stopped and looked away and took some deep breaths.

Again a moment of silence. Then Rachel spoke through a sob. "I want out. I just want out."

Finn then looked again at her. "You want out?" He said quietly. "THAT'S FINE WITH ME!" he shouted at the end before he stomped away, grabbing his keys and leaving out the front door.

When Finn closed the door, Rachel went to it and slid her back against it and cried. After a few minutes a heavy sobs, she got up and went to the other bedroom they had in their apartment that they kept for guests that would come and slammed the door shut. She then went to the dresser, took off her wedding ring and threw it in the top dresser shelf and went to bed. She cried herself to sleep that night.


Meanwhile with Finn, he was taking a stroll through Center Park. He had his cell phone with him, so he called the person that he knew would try to understand. When the person on the other line answered. Finn spoke quietly.

"Hey Burt, Is it alright that I come to visit you this weekend?" Finn waited until he heard a reply and then spoke again once he heard it. "Awesome. See you then."


Uh oh. So yeah, that happened. The next chapter will be about Finn's trip to visit his parents. How do you think it will go? Did you guys like this chapter? Be honest with me! I know it was intense. Was it too cheesy? Let me know what you think! A review doesn't hurt either! As always, you guys rock!
