The Brooks: My Gleeful Neighbours ( A Janoskians/ Glee Fanfic )

8) He Had A Right To Know

The next three weeks flew by and soon enough the day before Sectionals arrived.

That's when the drama started.

First of all Mr Shue told us why he had left his wife, she had lied about being pregnant, so he had slept at the school on a mattress that we had gotten from filming a commercial ( They weren't supposed to be used ).

Then someone told Rachel about Finn not being the father of Quinn's baby, and of course she HAD to tell Finn.

His reaction? Well he punched Puck and Mike and Mr Shue had to drag him off him.

'Seriously Rachel?', Mercedes asked, obviously pissed off, 'You couldn't wait one more day?'

'He had a right to know!', Rachel replied, 'I had to tell him!'

'Yeah and now we're gonna lose Sectionals because it's obvious Finn won't go!', Artie replied, wheeling himself out of the choir room, the rest of us following him.

Even though I longed to go after Finn to try to talk to him, I knew it was better to stay away. He needed time to himself.

I know it was horrible but I'll be honest, the thought that Finn was now single did cross my mind.

'Hey Lauren, what's going on?', Luke asked me, as he and James walked up to me while I was at my locker, later that day.

'Oh you don't want to know', I groaned, banging my locker shut.

'Come on Lauren, it can't be that bad', James replied, nudging me slightly.

'Oh but it can', I said, 'Quinn's baby isn't Finn's, it's Puck's, and Finn found out earlier.'

'WHAT?!', the boys asked together, their mouths open wide with shock.

'Yep', I nodded, 'And we have Sectionals tomorrow. We won't win without Finn.'

'Well I can take his place if you want Lauren', James offered.

'Can you sing?', I asked.

'Uh, no', James admitted.

'Then, no, but thanks James', I said.

'Hey guys, what's up?', I heard a familiar voice say from behind me.

'The glee club is fucked for Sectionals', Luke replied, 'Finn walked out.'

'Aw', Beau said, wrapping an arm around me from where he was standing behind me, 'You know I could take his place.'

'Yeah right', I said, battinh his arm away, 'I've heard you sing, well if you can call it singing.'

'You mark my words Lauren. I'll be a pop singer one day and you'll be begging to have me', Beau replied, smirking.

'Yeah right!', I laughed, 'I'll make a deal with you. The day you become a pop star, I'll become your girlfriend.'

'Sounds good to me', Beau beamed, 'I can't wait!'

'Well you'll be waiting a long time', I said, turning and walking down the hall.

'You know you want me!', Beau called after me.

'Whatever!', I scoffed, waving my hand back at him.

I then turned the corner to find Finn hidden under the stairs, head in his hands.

'Finn?', I asked, cautiously.

He looked up, his eyes filled with tears. He looked lost, like a little boy.

'Are you okay?', I asked, softly, moving over to him.

'I'm lost Lauren', Finn almost whispered, 'I thought I was gonna be a father! How could she do this to me? How could HE do this to me? My best friend with my girlfriend!'

'It's gonna be okay Finn', I tried to soothe him, sitting down beside him and putting an arm around him, 'You'll be fine.'

'How do you know that? Huh?', Finn asked, suddenly angry, 'You only know me with a few months! Anyway, your life is perfect! You've got the perfect parents, loads of trustworthy friends, and you're so talented!'

'But I like a guy who hardly knows I'm alive', I said, cutting him off.

'What? Who?', Finn asked, obviously curious.

'NO ONE!', I exclaimed, furiously blushing.

Finn had gone through enough today without me telling him my feelings for him.

'Well he's the luckiest guy in the world', Finn said, softly, holding my hand, 'You're an amazing girl Lauren.'

'Really?', I asked shyly, looking into his gorgeous eyes.

'Really', Finn confirmed.

Our heads were so close together I thought that he was going to kiss me! But just as I leaned in more to him, the bell rang.

'Uh', Finn cleared his throat, standing up, 'We'd better get to class.'

'Um, yeah', I mumbled, disappointed, 'Finn will you come with us tomorrow?'

Finn sighed before answering, 'I'm sorry Lauren, but I can't. You'll just have to go without me.'

With that he turned and walked down the hall.

I stared after him with tears in my eyes.

We could never win Sectionals without him.

But more seriously.

I had finally realized.

I was in love with Finn Hudson.
