Hey Guys! So this chapter is going to be mostly on Finn. You will get to learn about their past fights and what Finn's issues are about their marriage. The story chapter title is from the song "Yesterday" by the Beatles. I DO NOT OWN GLEE OR THE BEATLES!

The weekend couldn't come fast enough for Finn. Not only did he want to escape Rachel for a little bit, but he really missed his mom and step-dad and missed talking to. He figured, if anybody knew how to cope with a spouse, it would be them.

When Finn made it to the door of his parents' house, the door immediately flung open before Finn could knock. His mother, Carole, threw her arms around him and he hugged her back. When she pulled away, she gave him a huge smile and he smiled back.

"Finny! How are you!? Carole asked eagerly.

"I'm doing alright." Well, he knew that was far from the truth. But he really didn't want to ruin the moment he was having with his mother.

However, Carole knew something was going on. "Come on in inside Finn and put your stuff away. Then we'll talk." She said as she let her son into the house.

"Thanks Mom." Finn made through the kitchen and was just about to do downstairs where his old bedroom when he heard a familiar voice that stopped him.

"Hey Finn."

Finn turned around and saw his step-dad in the kitchen by the table finishing up his lunch.

Finn grinned. "Hey Burt. Still watching what you're eating?"

Burt chuckled. "Your mom doesn't let me off easily."

Finn chuckled. Ever since Burt had his heart attack when he was in high school, he had to watch what he ate. When he married his mother, she made him go on a strict diet of what the doctors suggested he should eat in order to prevent another chance of a heart attack.

"You wanted to talk Finn?" Burt asked.

"Uh, yeah. Let me just put my stuff done in my room and then we'll talk." Finn said. When Burt nodded he went down the stairs and put his stuff away.

When Finn finished settling in, he joined Burt in the living room. Carole came in a minute later and offered water to Burt and Finn and sat down right next to Burt on the couch while Finn sat in the armchair.

Carole then started the conversation. "How have you been Finn? Work been doing okay?"

"It's been going fine. As for me, I could be better." Finn said with a shrug on his shoulders.

Carole had a look a full concern on her face. "Finn, what's going on?"

"Um." Geez, why was he feeling comfortable with this? Finn thought. He's had situations like this before that he was able to talk about with his mom and step-dad. Why should this be any different?

Burt intervened when he noticed Finn struggling to say what was wrong. "It's okay, Finn. You can talk to us about it if you want to. You don't have to."

Finn then spoke. "No, I want to. I need to." With a deep breath Finn then started to speak again. "Rachel and I are living on the rocks now. We can't even speak to each other without one of us shouting."

Burt then lead forward so that his elbows were propped on his knees with his hand folded under his chin. "Finn, how long has this been going on?"

Finn sighed before answering. "I don't know dad. We've had a spats and arguments for the past 2 or 3 years. But for some reason, all this past year, Rachel has gone off the deep end and annoyed and pissed me off way worse than the other years combined.

Burt nodded. "What has she been going off on you for?"

Finn huffed. "She been saying things like I'm not there to help around the apartment, I don't listen to her and the last fight we had she told me I was stupid, selfish and that I didn't care about the people we loved which I'm sure you was referring to her dad. But that's when I drew the line and I yelled at her."

Carole then started to speak again. "Finn, I'm sure Rachel didn't mean to say that you were stupid. Of course you're not stupid. But she may have been speaking of hurt because you may not be giving her the attention she needs."

"Mom, who side are you on?" Finn asked

"Finn, I'm on nobody's side. I care about you and Rachel."

Finn huffed again. "Yeah well, thanks for making me feel like the bad guy."

Carole gasped. "Finn! I never said that you were the bad guy in this situation. I'm just saying that people who speak out of hurt, may not always mean what they say."

Finn took a deep breath. "It still made me angry to hear her say that I was lazy and sense of responsibility."

"Finn, can you not blame her for being upset? I never really know Rachel to be unreasonable." Carole asked.

"Mom, I'm a firefighter. That job is stressful. When I come home, that last thing I want is to be given a list of things to do. She doesn't even know how stressful my job is. I always have to be on my feet and responsible."

"But Finn, she needs your help as well. Rachel works about 50 hours a week on her shows, and doesn't she visit her parents every week? The poor girl can't do it all."

"Mom, if you weren't taking her side before, you really do sound like that you're taking her side now!" Finn accused.

"All I'm saying is if she's trying…" Caroled couldn't finish her sentence without getting cut off.

"Mom, I really don't need to hear another lecture about this. I hear enough from Rachel as it is!" Finn hated giving his mom attitude but he really felt that his patience was reaching its end.

Burt then intervened. "Okay. Okay. Carole, can I speak to Finn alone for a second please?"

Carole sighed and gave a small side smile to Burt and then Finn and stood up. "Okay."

When Carole left the room, Burt then continued their conversation. "I figured we could talk man to man for a little bit."

Finn took a deep breath. "Yes. That would be awesome."

Burt nodded. "I think you know your mother is right when it comes to being Rachel being upset about those things." Burt noticed Finn starting to tense of again but he continued. "But tell me this. What has Rachel done to you that has made you so upset?"

Finn looked down at his hands took a deep breath to calm his nerves. He then looked up at Burt before continuing to speak. "Rachel, stubborn. She shows no respect for me. Isn't that a big part of what holds couples together? She doesn't show any gratitude for the things I do for people and for her!" He paused. "Number two, my job has been very stressful." Finn paused for another long moment. He was about to tell Burt something he hasn't old anyone yet. "I lost a friend of mine from the fire station a couple of months ago. You remember Matt Rutherford?"

"Yes," Burt said. "Go on."

"Well we were responding to a terrible fire at an apartment building, Matt went in there to check to see if everyone got out." Finn paused. He hated feeling this vulnerable. Especially during this part of the story. "The apartment building collapsed on him and he never made it out." Finn then buried his head in his hands and took a few shaky breaths. He felt tears burn into his eyes, but he refused to let them fall.

After a few minutes of silence. Burt then asked another question. "Did you tell Rachel this?"

Finn looked up and shook his head. "No. I didn't. I mean, I couldn't. I just wanted to deal with this myself. Rachel would never understand how hard it is being a firefighter. All she knows is how hard it is being a star of Broadway which is quite different from a being a firefighter. I didn't want her to worry. But we were arguing long before this. Mostly of them you already know."

Burt nodded his head. "Now what do you need?" When Finn gave him a confused look, Burt emphasized. "From me. What do you need from me?"

"Advice. I mean, you've been married to my mom for over ten years Burt."

Burt nodded his head. "Well, I think it might be good to give Rachel some space. It's clear to me that both of you have a lot of issues to go through and right now with both of you mad at each other, it might not be a good idea to talk right now. So I would wait a little bit for her to cool down and let her collect her thoughts and yours as well." Burt then paused and looked at Finn. "Finn, you still love Rachel…, don't you?"

Finn starred at Burt for a minute and sighed and shock his head. "I don't know. Rachel and I were in love when we got married, but now we are like two very different people."

Burt nodded. "It might be good to have your own space from Rachel for a little bit so you can figure out who you are as a person. You know seeing a completely different person you married may not be such a bad thing."

Finn took a deep breath. "You're right Burt. You're absolutely right. I just don't understand why life just got so difficult with her. A part of me wants to make this work, a part of me doesn't."

Burt nodded. "Well, take your time to think about you course of action with Rachel. It may take a while for things to work out. But I would consider thinking very carefully before you make a decision. And if it's real love, it will find a way back."

Finn looked down and took a deep breath. He then rubbed his hands over his eyes and looked up at Burt and smiled. "Thanks Burt."

Burt gave his step-son a small grin, then stood up and patted his back. He knew Finn was smart, but every now and then he just need some guidance. "Anytime Finn."

Finn then stood up to go into his room but then turned around when Burt said something else.

"Oh! And Finn?"

"What's up?"

"You know your mom his right you know. About Rachel."

Finn sighed. "Yeah, I know."

Finn then made it downstairs to his room and laid down on his bed. He had a lot of things to think about and decisions to be making soon. He just hoped that this will go the right way, whatever the cost.
