You Belong with Me

chapter 11

Finn POV

I collapse through the front door of Rachels house slamming it behind me. I'm breathless, but I dont know why. I really need to relax.
as i start walking back to my house, i feel my jeans vibrating. i pull my phone out of my pants pocket and look at the caller ID. Crap, its Quinn. she might kill me, honestly, i wouldnt blame her. if i found out my boyfriend had been kissing other girls, i would probably be pretty mad too. if she ever found out what just happened in rachels room, i can seriously picture her killing me in my sleep, or Rachel. God, my life is so dramatic. I need new friends.
cautiously i put the phone to my ear and manage to squeak out "hello?"
i hear a sickly sweet voice enter my ear from the phone. it sounds almost unnatural, kind of menacing and absolutely terrifying. "hey sweetie..."

Finn: (reaching the path to his door, fishing around in his pocket for the keys, stuttering a bit because hes nervous) are you ok? you sound kinda...

Quinn: (cutting him off) no, im fine..... (voice more menacing) hows rachel?

Finn: (lets himself into the house, goes immediately to his room and is now officially terrified) urm, shes a, ah, urm, she good, she is fine, shes great. i mean not that i would know cos i havent seen her in ages and urm yh anyway so how are you, what are you up to? i havent seen you for a while.....

Quinn: really you havent seen her in ages? how long exactly would "ages" be?

Finn: well, i dont know, urm, few hours...?

Quinn: (silence)

Finn: days?

Quinn: (silence and heavy breathing)

Finn: (voice getting higher and more scared) weeks? months? honestly i dont know, she could be dead for all i know (awkward laughter)

Quinn: she will be in a minute.... (hangs up)

Finn POV

Silence...
"quinn? you there?" more silence "babe?"
ok now im scared. i slump down on my bed, trying to calm myself. suddenly, i hear the door open and slam. i sit bolt upright, now officially terrified. i hear someone storming up to room and see the door flying open to reveal a furious Quinn Fabray.

Quinn: where is she?

Finn: where is who? (clutching a pillow to protect himself)

Quinn: (shouting and searching his room) you know who! the bitch who is stealing my boyfriend!!!

Finn: (throws pillow down, grabs her by the shoulders to make her stop and looks her in the eyes) look babe, you need to calm down, ok? yes, i took Rachel out for ice cream (Quinns face turns from anger to horror) but! ok theres a but, but it didnt mean anything, she was upset and her friends suggested that we do something to cheer her up, i suggested ice cream so we all went there together, ok, as a group. she is just a friend, nothing more. you are the one i love and i dont want anyone else. ok?

Quinn: (smirking at him) she means nothing?

Finn: (considering) well, shes a friend but...

Quinn: (looks furious again)

Finn: (panics) but nothing more than that!!!

Quinn: (smirks again) good.

Finn: (breathes out and sits down on bed again)

Quinn: ok so now weve got that out of the way, you have something to ask me.

Finn: i do?

Quinn: yes, (pulls out flyer from her bra. it reads PROM: 31st MAY 2014) this.

Finn: (takes flyer and stares at it) urm, sure, ok, do ya wanna go?

Quinn: (snatched flyer back) really! thats your big proposal? do ya wanna go?!

Finn: (sighs) fine (stands) Quinn Fabray, will you please go to prom with me?

Quinn: (smirks) took you long enough. (kisses him and storms out) (yelling back up at him) wear a light blue bow tie!!!

Finn: (sighs again) great.... (climbs into bed and falls asleep, exhausted)

Rachel: (has watched the whole scene through their bedroom windows, sits alone on her bed, whispers to herself) i thought you liked me.... (curls up into bed, cries)
