Your Safe With Me

Lucy took a deep breath as she stepped out of Santana's car looking back at her best friend "Are you sure you wanna do this ? You could always just continue to ignore him and leave this town and never see him again" the latina said looking at the clearly nervous girl "No I need to do this Tana...I need some sort of closure...and I also need to know why...I'll call you when I'm ready to leave" the red head said and closed the car door walking up the sidewalk and up to the front door. Taking a deep breath once again Lucy rang the doorbell and waited anxiously for someone to answer the door. "Um Hello do I know you ?" the woman asked as she answered the door "Carole ? Hi It's me um Quinn" the red head said looking up at the woman "Quinn ! Hi how are you ? I didn't even recognize you" Carole said smiling at the young girl "I'm doing well thank you and how are you ?" Lucy asked trying her best not to seem awkward "I'm doing fine would you like to come in ?" the short haired woman asked her "Yes please" Lucy said smiling softly as she stepped inside "So what can I do for you Quinn ?" Carole asked looking at the red head "I was actually wondering if I could talk to Finn ?" the hazel eyed girl asked "Yes of course. Finn you have a visitor !!" Carole yelled as she made her way to the kitchen.

"Who is it ?" Finn asked as he walked downstairs stopping when he saw who was standing in his living room "Quinn ?" the boy said looking her his face full of confusion "Hi Finn...can we talk ? Privately ?" Lucy asked looking up at him as she fiddled with her fingers. "Yeah sure" Finn said and led the girl into the empty room they had downstairs "So what's up ?" he asked looking at the girl "Finn...graduation is near and I-... I need closure...you are apart of the reason my junior year was living hell....you tormented me...you shot me...you called me a liar...you called me a slut and much more and then this year you're apart of the reason I attempted suicide...and well I have no reason as to why you did what you did...I never did anything to you Finn yet you did everything possible to make sure I was even more misreble than I already was...and I just wanna know why" Lucy said looking at the boy who looked more than guilty "You cheated on me Sophmore year with Puck of all people and you lied and said the baby was mine" Finn said. The red head looked at the boy confused didn't he know what Puck had done to her ? Why he was in jail right now ? "Finn...do you know why Puck is in jail ?" Lucy asked looking away from the boy "Yeah he ran his moms car into the ATM because he wanted money to buy you a ring. He said you guys were deeply in love and he was gonna propose" Finn told her he was sure he was right but when he heard his ex-girlfriend whimpering he became concerned " Is that not true ?" He asked looking at her "He raped me Finn...he got me drunk and raped me...and then told me and everyone else that I pushed myself onto him...that's why he's in jail Finn..." Lucy told him as tears streamed down her face "A-and he almost did it again in the hallway last year at school..." she told him trying to stop her tears "He what ?" Finn asked with the most confused look "He took advantage of me Finn ! He raped me what aren't you understanding ?! He forced me to have sex with him ! Y-you were my boyfriend and you never once noticed there was anything wrong ! Him and m-my father ! T-they both raped me ! My father beat me and you didn't try to help me ! Y-you just left me Finn you left !...You saw the bruises and welts ! You saw the cuts you saw the swollen eyes !....Y-...you saw me limping....and you didn't do anything...and then you made it so much worse for me...my father beat the living daylights out of me and you didn't try to save me...you taunted me...you pushed me around...and I have no idea why...you called me a f-...fag..." Lucy said through her tears.

She hadn't expected to cry throughout this she'd thought she cried all the tears she needed to when it came to Finn true she always knew she liked woman but the tall dopey boy had always held a special place in her heart and she hated that because he'd hurt her so many different times "I didn't know they were doing that Quinn...I-...you rejected me and gave me no reason why...I thought you wanted to be with me...then I saw you with Rachel...I saw the way you two just meshed so well together and it hurt because you weren't like that with me...you hardly hugged me or looked at me the way you look at her...you never wanted to kiss...you're eyes never lit up in happiness...I-...I guess I was jealous of what you two had what you have...it was wrong of me to do all of that just because I was jealous...I shouldn't have called you a fag and I'm sorry....I've been doing a lot of thinking lately going to therapy and stuff...I actually was gonna come and find you myself to talk with you but I knew Santana and Rachel would never leave me alone with you which I totally understand..." Finn  told her shedding a fear tears of his own "I did love you at some point in time Finn...not in a relationship type way but in a brotherly sisterly way....you may not have tried to figure out why I was always injured but you were always there during Sophomore year to carry me and stuff...and I thank you for that...um...Rachel and Santana are my best friends in the whole world...and they were very hesitant to let me do this...they thought you may try to hurt me again but I told them I needed closure in order to officially move on before graduation..." Lucy told him as she wiped her tears "I know you're not apart of the New Directions and you don't have to do this if you don't want to....but I think you should really come and watch us preform at Nationals.... It's gonna be epic and I think you'll really like it...a-and you can see that happiness you like to see in my eyes..." The hazel eyed girl said looking at the boy "Yeah sure I'll come I've seen you guys practicing a few times you guys look great" Finn said as he watched the girl send her best friend a text " Thanks...I should get going...I have like three more stops and I gotta get back home to Beth and Rach" she told him "Let me walk you out" Finn offered. "Yeah that would be nice" Lucy said and walked with the boy to the door waving a goodbye at Carole.
