Finn walked into school the next day and towards his locker, ignoring the call of the football team. He reached his locker and spun he dial, opening it wide and shoving his bag in it. He grabbed his Spanish books and slammed locker shut, turning round and nearly crashing into Puck, who was stood behind him.
'What do you want?' Finn asked, pushing past Puck and headed to the language department.
'Look, I just want to put everything behind us. Be best mates again!' Puck said. He heard Finn and watched as he turned round to face him.
'I'm not anything behind us, until Rachel is out of treatment' Finn said. Puck rolled his eyes.
'She's in the best place she can be!'
'That may be, but sometimes it's not enough! She can still escape! One look the wrong way and she could be gone! I'm never forgiving you for this, Puck! We can be friends, that's all!' Finn told him, before storming off to Mr Shue's Spanish class. He entered the classroom and Mr Shue offered him a smile, before telling him to sit down...
'Finn, stay behind please' Mr Shue said, as the class filed out at the end of the class. Finn stopped packing his books away and looked at Mr Shue. He shut the door behind the last student to leave the classroom, and then turned to Finn.
'How is she?' Will asked. Finn sniffed.
'She's alright. Not doing to bad, won't admit she's got an addiction though' Finn said, his tone emotionless. Mr Shue sighed.
'I know you thing we haven't been thinking of her... But, when you next see her, give her these from us' said Mr Shue, handing Finn a DVD and a card. He frowned, but accepted them and nodded.
'I'd better go. Coach will be mad if I miss another session' said Finn. Mr Shue nodded, clapping Finn tightly on the shoulder and allowing him to leave...
Meanwhile, Rachel was in her art class, drawing. She had become quite good at drawing things, more so flowers and a few people, rather than landscapes, but she tried her best.
'Looks good, Rachel. What is it?' asked Zac
'Its supposed to be me and Finn, but I'm still not that good at people, well, not as good as you' she said, concentrating on her drawing. Zac looked round on her table.
'Rachel, have you got a picture of Finn? Might help you a little bit' he said. Rachel thought for a minute, before she climbed off her stool and rushed into her bedroom, emerging a minute with a photo of Finn.
'Will this do?' she asked. Zac looked up from looking at Rachel's drawing and looked at the picture.
'Aw! That's so cute! When was it taken?' he asked as he plucked the photo from Rachel's hands.
'A few months ago, before my live changed for the worst' Rachel admitted. She looked down at the picture sadly. Finn had his arms wrapped round her tightly, both of them smiling brightly for the camera.
'You okay?' Zac asked, seeing Rachel's face change. She nodded quickly and sat back down, waiting for Zac to tell her what to.
'Right, first things first...' he said, ripping up two pieces of paper so they were shaped like an L and placed them on Finn, so his face was the only thing Rachel was concentrating on. 'Just focus on Finn. Trust me. It works' Zac said. Rachel nodded and picked up her pencil and began sketching...
'ZAC! What you think?' Rachel asked, an hour later as she bounded up to him, holding her picture at arms length. He smiled.
'Beautiful! See, told you it works!' he said, taking the picture from Rachel and examining it closer. Rachel had drawn her and Finn's faces on either side of the paper, with a heart in the middle with caption 'together forever' in curvaceous writing at the top and bottom.
'Do you think Finn will like it?' she asked
'Of course, he will!' Zac protested. Rachel smiled, plucked the picture out of his hands and skipped to her room...
'Rachel... your bag has arrived for you. Got a lot of stuff in there' said Summer, as she opened Rachel's bedroom door. Rachel frowned.
'All my books from all my classes, that's probably why' she said, laughing slightly
'A guy called Kurt dropped it off. Said he was on his lunch hour from school' Summer said. Rachel nodded and smiled.
'Thanks Summer' she called, as Summer was called by Annie to her progress meeting. Rachel shut her door and put the bag on her bed, unzipping it and finding her classbooks and a wrapped present from Kurt, making Rachel smile...
Finn arrived at the treatment centre after school had finished. He grabbed his bag and climbed form his car, locking up before heading inside. Annie let him, but didn't let him go any further.
'Finn, something happened today. And not a good thing... Please tell your brother not to send her anymore gifts!' Annie said sternly. Finn raised an eyebrow.
'A gift? When did he send that?' Finn asked
'This lunchtime!' Annie said. Finn let out a confused laugh.
'Well, that's impossible because Kurt was with me at the time. We were eating lunch in the school canteen with our friends' Finn said. Annie raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything else about the subject.
'She's in her room' Annie said, letting Finn pass her. He rushed to Rachel's room and opened the door, seeing her curled up on her bed. He dropped his bag next to her bed and climbed on with her, wrapping her up in his arms.
'Babe? Whats happened?' he asked. Rachel turned in his arms and cried into his chest. He held her tightly his mind ticking off the number of suspects in his heads, who would do whatever had happened, to Rachel. She cried for a few more minutes, before she got herself under control.
'Kurt sent me... present...with my bag' her reply was choppy, as the tears choked her voice. Finn rubbed her back, encouraging her. 'He sent alcohol... buried at the bottom'. Finn froze and tensed under his body. Someone had sent alcohol to a recovering alcoholic?.
'Who was it?' he asked, his tone clipped
'Summer said it was Kurt! Why would he do that?' Rachel cried, gripping Finn's shirt.
'It can't have been Kurt, Rach... He was with me'
'At lunch?' Rachel asked, lifting her head to look at Finn, who nodded.
'Yeah. We grabbed lunch and then went to rehearsals' Finn said. Rachel blinked and Finn caught the tears with the pads of his thumb.
'Who then?' Rachel asked. Finn rubbed her back, not answering her question.
'What did you do? With the alcohol?' Finn asked, almost dreading her answer. Rachel looked away from him, and nuzzled her head in his chest.
'I went to drink some... before I spat it out' Rachel whispered. Finn visably relaxed at Rachels answer. 'I threw the bottle at the wall and it smashed..' she continued 'Summer came in and smelt it instantly. She ran off to get Annie, while I started to panic about what would happen to me, whether I would get in trouble or not' Rachel said, her voice calming down as Finn rubbed her back. They laid in silence for a few minutes, before Finn remembered something.
'I've got something for you' he said, leaning down to grab his bag and unzipping. He found the DVD and the card and handed them to Rachel. 'From Mr Shue and Glee' he continued. Rachel smiled and grabbe dher laptop, switching it on. She had to wait for it to load, so she opened the card. She gasp silently as she saw the front. It was personalized with Rachel with each member of Glee club, with the message 'Get Well Soon' printed at the bottom. She opened up the card and nearly started crying again. Every member (except Finn, although Rachel didn't care about him not contributing. He visited her nearly everyday and that was good enough for her), had wrote a little message to her, wishing her well.
Get Well Soon! Need my drama queen by my side! Love Kurt and Blaine
Get yo' ass back here! Missing you! Stay Strong! Love Mercedes
Actually miss you bossing us around! Get Well Soon! Santanna
Rachel wiped her tears away as she read all of her friends messages. She noticed that the laptop had loaded and placed the DVD in and waited till it poped up on the screen.
'Hey, Rachel. We're all missing you here at Glee. We just wanted to show how much we support you! Stay Strong and see you soon' said Mr Shue, before the screen went black for a few seconds. The opening sounds to Coldplay's 'Fix You' started to play. Finn and Rachel watched as the Glee Club sung to the song, before ending it with a banner saying 'We 3 You'. The screen slowly faded to black and Rachel couldn't keep the tears in any longer. She allowed to stream down her face, and even Finn let a few of his own tears out as well, watching as they dripped from his cheeks to Rachel's hair...
