When I walked into the choir room, Finn was punching puck again. When wasn't he punching Puck? "Finn, what in the hell are you doing?" He stopped punching him for a minute and looked at me. "He's ruined my entire life."
"Why because he slept with me when I was fourteen? I did it voluntarily, Finn. It's not like anything bad happened. I didn't get pregnant. I was fine."
"Why did you do it then? Why did you sleep with him?"
"Because back then I was in love with him!" I quickly covered my mouth after I had said it. "The feelings are long gone now. I haven't had those feelings for anyone in a while, but it was the truth. It was one little summer fling. My last summer fling before I was in high school. I was fourteen, my hormones were all over the place and there was nothing I could do about the person I loved. Get it over it, Finn. I'm not a child."
He just stared at me. Everyone did. I didn't know what to do. Without thinking, I ran out of the room and didn't look back. I knew what was going to happen when Finn finally came to his senses. I ran and hid in the bathroom. I couldn't walk back out there and face all of them after I had just told them what happened when I was younger.
I heard the bathroom door open and then two sets of feet come into the bathroom. "A.J? Are you in here?" I didn't say anything. "Alright, listen, you might be a badass, but you didn't master the Scarlett Fae quiet cry." I laughed a little before I opened the stall door. "I'm completely humiliated. I have never in my life been that humiliated. Why would I tell people that? Why would I tell him that?"
I fell to the ground and I felt all of my emotions come at me at once. Everything. All of my arguments with Finn, all of my arguments with Lexie and Scarlett. Everything. It was all coming to me now. "Before...uh...before we left, Finn told me he wants to talk to you. He said it was important." I sighed as I looked up at the girls. "Of course he does. He's my older brother. He wants to talk to me about this stuff. It's strange though, really."
Lexie looked at me. "He loves you, A.J. He would do anything for you. I'm pretty sure that if you asked him too, he would jump off a bridge. You're everything to him, A.J." I smiled at the words she said. I never felt that way, but maybe it was true. Maybe I was his everything. Maybe I was one of the only people in his life that he would do something terrible for. He was my best friend. He was my rock. He kept me sane. Hell, if it wasn't for him, I'd probably be in jail for arson or murder by now. "Where did he say he wanted to talk?"
"The auditorium."
I nodded and got up to leave the room. I went to leave the room before Lexie grabbed my arm. "A.J...don't let him down." I smiled and nodded. I walked slowly and glumly down the hallway, trying to get to the auditorium. I walked past the choir room. They were all staring at me. I stopped in real quick. "I'm fine. Honestly. Just, forget about it." I said to all of them before turning and leaving the room. I finished my journey down to the auditorium where Finn was sitting on the edge of the stage.
"You're my best friend. My younger sister. It's weird hearing about...certain aspects of your life. But, I will always be by your side, A.J."
I smirked a little and shook my head. "Don't say it."
"You and me, A.J, we'll be stuck like glue."
The tune to Stuck Like Glue by Sugarland started playing. My current favorite song. I always sung it when I was around the house. He knew it was my favorite song. He was an idiot. But he was my big idiot. He was my big idiot who would do anything for me. Of course, I had to sing along. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a song in glee club if it didn't have some big stupid meaning behind it.
When the song finished, all I did was hug him. I couldn't move. I just stood there. "Thank you..." I could feel him looking down on me. "For what?" I smirked. "For being my big brother. For being the best big brother anyone could ask for." I broke the hug and looked at him.
"You're always there for me and no matter how many times I screw up or how many times I make a fool of myself on stage. You're always there for me. And no matter what, I'm always a bitch. Sometimes I can control it, other times I can't. And when I can't, you help me control it. So, it doesn't matter that our dad was never around. I didn't need one. I had a big brother."
