A few weeks had gone by since Finn and everyone had joined. Puck--Finn's bestfriend joined, another guy from the football team joined, and of course, it wouldn't be glee without Quinn Fabray and her goon squad (which consisted of Santana Lopez and Brittany Pierce, all Cheerios, might I add). Lexie was there and a few days after Quinn had joined, Scarlett joined and both her and Lexie gave up their uniforms for the Cheerios. 

It was a normal Tuesday morning. Everything seemed normal, at least. I was standing at my locker, getting the things I needed for the day. I hadn't even noticed that Finn was standing there until I heard deep breaths that sounded like someone being put to death. "Finn?" He just stared into space like he had seen a ghost. "Hello?" I waved my hand in front of his face. "Earth to Finn.." 

"Quinn's pregnant." Was all he blurted out. 

I froze for a minute. "Woah." We both just stood there for a minute, not knowing what to do. "What is she gonna do?" He looked at me. "She doesn't know." I sighed. "What are you going to do?"  He didn't move. "AJ, I don't know what do to." At this moment, I did something I hadn't done in a while. I just...hugged him. I didn't know what it was. Some weird reflex that I had, being the younger sister and all. 

"We'll figure it out, Finn. We always do." 

I had to look up to see him physically nod. He was to tall. Sometimes my neck hurt from staring up at him. "I have to get to class, but I'll see you in rehearsal today and we're not telling mom yet." 

"We're not?"

"We're not." I called down the hallway. I had to practically run to my history class. Which was still as boring as usual. She asked the same kind of questions. When was this battle fought? Where was this battle fought? When was this persons last battle? Like really, I don't need to know that Washington had false teeth. I didn't need to know that. 

Anyway, the day went by a lot faster than normal. I guess because of everything that was going on with Finn. I was nervous. For him. For Quinn. She was literally the president of the celibacy club. Now, she was having a baby. Is she breaking her own rules or what? 

3:30 came a little faster than normal. I walked into the choir room. Finn was sitting there, looking like he had seen a ghost. The same way he looked all day. I walked over and sat down next to him. Everything was fine in glee club, until Mr. Shue said the wrong thing. "Mr. Shue, this is the alto part." Rachel called out, obviously. He handed Tina a paper. 

"Yep. Tina's doing the solo." 

It seemed like Rachel was going to sucker punch him, right then and there. Rachel didn't scare me, but the look on her face...well...it scared me a little. "I thought I made it very clear that anything from West Side Story goes to me." 

I sighed. "I can't do this anymore." I put the papers down on the chair and began on the way out. "A.J, where are you going?" I stopped and turned around. "I can't listen to her me me me talk any more. It's starting to get annoying. I completely understand that you want to play Maria when you get older. But, we're in glee club. Nothing is fair. It is like a lion's den. We have to fight to shine, and even when we do shine, you shine brighter. Get over yourself, Rachel. You want to be on Broadway, well guess what, you aren't going to get every role you audition for." I turned and walked out the door. 

I heard a little chatter coming from behind me, but I just kept going. I didn't know what to do. I mean, everything at this point seemed different. Rachel was annoying, really, she was. But my real issue, was trying to help Finn figure out what he was going to do with the baby. 

He was my best friend. I was going to help him with this. No matter what is took.
