The Sad Truth

Chapter Five

After Mr.Schue heard me I decided to ditch glee club, at least just for today. But then I remember Mercedes helping me, so I decide to go.

I walked into the choir room and I see the usual people. Artie, Tina, Mercedes, and Kurt. They're all spaced out so I decide to sit in the front. I open my notebook and start writing a couple of lyrics for a new song I've been working on.

"Alright guys, I have someone who I'd like to introduce, so please, give him your attention"

Did mr.schue just say him? I slowly look up to see the person who I'm suppose to be avoiding.

"Um, hi, I'm Finn Hudson," he greeted

Everyone else looked just as shocked as me. I didn't think he'd actually join, especially after I gave him the cold shoulder.

"Yeah, we know" Kurt replied sassy
"Kurt play nice, Finn take a seat" mr.schue said pointing to the chairs

Of course Finn, being Finn decided to sit next to me as Mr.Schue explained the lesson. I looked at Finn, and I pulled him closer

"What are you doing here?" I whisper so we don't get in trouble
"I told you I was going to audition, so I could hear you sing" Finn shrugged
"Well I don't really sing in here much, so good luck with that" I say with attitude and leaned back against my chair

Finn glanced around and leaned in again,

"Why are you mad at me?" He asked hurt
"Why do you care?" I ask not facing him
"Because I thought we were friends," Finn answered

I take a deep breath out and look at Finn. I see hurt in his eyes, which makes me feel hurt. Damn it, why does he make me feel this way? He's my only friend, but I don't want him getting wrapped up in my crazy. I also don't want his girlfriend to kill me. But I can't have him sad because I rejected him.

Why must high school be so complicated?

"We were, are.." I finally say
"Then what's with the silent treatment?" He asked

I look around to see if his girlfriend or her minions are around, I also check to see if anyone's listening. But no one is, so I get closer to him,

"Someone, told me I wasn't allowed to talk to you, and that someone is very powerful in the social status here in school" I say below a whisper

Finn looked at me,

"Who cares, we're friends now, so I won't let them hurt you, I promise" Finn said

I smiled. If only he knew it was Quinn. I don't know what, but something inside me just kind of... Well, believes him.

"Promise?" I ask unsure
"Promise" Finn said pinky swearing

I smile a little smile. Mr.Schue turns around after speaking, which Finn and I heard none of.

"So, we need more members, try to get people to join, alright guys?" Mr.Schue said grabbing his bag as everyone walked out

I put away my notebook as Finn waited for me. You know, having Finn as friend isn't so bad. He's kind of like my knight in shining armor. Always there protecting me, and helping me. Even if sometimes he doesn't realize how he's helping me.

"Ready?" Finn asks
"Ready" I smile

We walk out and we start talking until we reach the parking lot.

"Bye, I guess" I wave
"Wait, you don't have a ride?" Finn asks
"No, my dads are in Japan for business" I answer
"Here let me drive you home then" he offers
"I really shouldn't.."
"It's fine, here I'll help you" Finn answers before I could finish and putting me in his giant truck

I sit there as Finn starts the car

"You didn't have to do this" I whisper

Nones ever been this nice to me

"I wanted too" Finn said showing me his cute smirk

We start driving and talking. I feel so free and happy when I'm with Finn, like honestly he's like my rock. After a while of driving we put on the radio, the first couple of songs kind of suck but then, my favorite song comes on,

When the rain is blowing in your face..

I sit there silently humming the beginning. I think Finn heard, because he turned it up and smiled at me. Then out of nowhere he sang,

And the whole world is on your case,
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love.

I smiled as he sang, he has a nice voice, then he got quiet and he looked at me so I decided to sing along too

When the evening shadows and the stars appear,
And there is no one there to dry your tears,
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love.

Finn looked impressed as we drove. Then I don't know how, but it was like a silent communication, we both decided to sing,

I know you haven't made your mind up yet,
But I will never do you wrong.
I've known it from the moment that we met,
No doubt in my mind where you belong.

I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue,
And I'd go crawling down the avenue.
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love.

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret.
The winds of change are blowing wild and free,
You ain't seen nothing like me yet.

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true.
Nothing that I wouldn't do.
Go to the ends of the Earth for you,
To make you feel my love
To make you feel my love

After the song finished we reached my driveway and Finn parked. We both looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"That was good, you have a really beautiful voice" Finn said after finally calming down his laughs

I was still laughing but I settled down as Finn and I had a stare down. I gave him a genuine side smile.

"Well I should get going," Finn started the engine

I put my hand over his, I felt a tingly feeling so I pulled my hand away,

"No, you should come inside, watch a movie or something" I smile

I don't want to be alone, and something tells me having Finn around, prevents me from cutting and feeling the way I've been feeling the past couple months.

Lonely.
