The situation with Quinn had gotten considerably worse as days went by. Whenever Matthew saw her in the corridor, he gave a little whimper and ran the opposite way. Even in Glee, Matthew couldn't find solace. The only place he could feel safe was when he was in Finn's loving arms.
It was one day in Glee Club that things escalated. Matthew was singing "Tonight" from West Side Story, when Quinn entered late, very late. She made no attempt to apologise for her tardiness or interrupting Matthew's beautiful singing which immediately stopped as he saw Quinn enter the room. Finn noticed how his younger brother tended to tense up and go quiet whenever Quinn was in the room or even mentioned, for that matter. Mr Schue had noticed this also noticed this and gave Finn a questioning look. After Glee had finished, Mr Schue took Finn aside to talk to him, Matthew went to investigate but was held back by Blaine. "Why's Finny speaking to Mr Schue?" Matthew innocently inquired. "Sweetie," Blaine started, kneeling down in front of him and taking his hands in his own. "I think that we should tell Finn or Mr Schue about Quinn. I can tell them if you'd like." Blaine said. "Ok, but can I not be here when you do, I don't want Finny to get angry with me." Matthew mumbled after a while. "Thank you Blainey." He said hugging him tightly. "I'll just ring Mike and Puck, they can take you somewhere." Blaine said into his ear. Blaine took out his phone and dialled the number for Mike as he would no doubt be with Puck. He picked up and they spoke for a while. Mike and Puck came to the door of the choir room whilst Finn and Mr Schue we're still talking. The two tall jock entered the room and walked towards Matthew and Blaine. Mike and Puck knelt down to Matthew's height and Mike scooped him into his arms, without saying a word carrying him to the door, followed by Puck. They took him to the bleachers which were now empty for lunch.
Meanwhile back in the the office next to the choir room, Finn and Mr Schue were talking intently about Matthew's wellbeing when Blaine entered. They turned to look at him and Blaine said "I know why Matthew has been so tense lately." Finn looked curious. "It's Quinn, she threatened him the day she went round your house. She threatened him that if he didn't keep away from you when at school, she would kill him. Matthew was so worried that he didn't tell anyone until he told Mike. He wanted to tell you so badly and you would be the first person he would tell. He didn't want to make you angry with him." Blaine said. Mr Schue looked shocked and Finn was stunned. "I could never be angry with him. Where is he now?" Finn stuttered. "He's with Mike and Puck, they took him somewhere because he was scared that you or Mr Schue would be angry with him for not telling you sooner." Blaine said. Finn relaxed a little, knowing that Matthew would be safe with his friends and that he had people to hold and hug him, to look after him.  "Finn, I'm obliged to report this to Principle Figgins." Mr Schue said looking over to him, looking dazed. "Could you two go and find Mike and Puck please, make sure Matthew's ok I'll be there in a minute." Finn said to Blaine and Mr Schue, his expression vacant. "Of course," Mr Schue replied and the two left leaving Finn. Finn left the room shortly after and walked down the corridor to find Quinn. Then, he saw her laughing with her friends in her perfect cheerleader uniform, her gold cross necklace glinting in the light of the hallway. Ironic, Finn thought. When he reached her Quinn blurted out "Hey Finn," when she saw his expression, her face dropped and she went silent. "Quinn, I have to speak to you, in private." Finn said, gesturing to the other cheerleaders. As they departed, Finn said "I know what you did, what you said to Matthew." Finn said in a tone without emotion but evidently hurt. "I don't know what you're talking about." Quinn laughed, offended, before she was cut off by Finn. "Drop the act, Quinn. We're through! We're over!" Finn shouted. "You don't mean that." Quinn said quietly, starting to walk away. "Yes, yes I do. How can anyone be so heartless and cruel to someone who has gone through as much as that little boy has." Finn spoke through furious tears which were on the verge of falling. He didn't wait for a response from Quinn and walked off down the opposite direction leaving Quinn alone by her locker. Finn needed to hold his brother, he needed to apologise and let him know that everything will be alright and that he would always keep him safe, no matter what and never let anyone or anything harm him.
He found him on the bleachers, tears streaming uncontrollably down his face. He was bundled into Blaine's arms, facing Mr Schue who had his arm wrapped around him. Puck and Mike were holding the boy's hands on either side. "Finny?" Matthew breathed, relieved. He flung himself into his brothers open arms and let tears fall. Finn carried Matthew to the opposite end of the stand. "I'm so, so sorry Finny. I should have told you as soon as it happened. I'm so scared and I didn't want to make you angry. Please don't be cross." Matthew rushed with uneasy hasty breaths. "Shhhh, it's ok, it's ok. I'm not angry, I could never be angry with you. I'm so sorry that you had to go through this. I love you so, so much and I will never let anyone hurt you, ever. Me, and all of our friends will always keep you safe and protect you." Finn soothed." Matthew held Finn tighter and hugged him. "Tank you, Finny. I love you so, so much too." Matthew whispered. Finn kissed the crown of Matthew's head and held him there. He carried Matthew over to the others. "Thank you so much for looking after Matthew and for everything." Finn said. "I'm going to take this little one home."
When at home, Finn just carried Matthew to the basement bedroom and place him gently on his lap when he sat on the bed. They just sat there, watching Matthew's favourite Disney films until he fell asleep in Finn's arms. Finn gently kissed his brother and hugged his brother tightly saying "Don't be scared, don't be scared. I'm here. I love you so, so much." Until, eventually, he too drifted off to sleep, his arm wrapped protectively around his brother.
