The Truth Hurts

Finn Hudson had just heard the worst news he could ask for… Quinn Fabray had cheated on him with his best friend, Puck, and the baby he had believed was his, was actually Puck's. He kept hearing the words repeated in his head, kept replaying the scene of himself breaking up with her and watching as she smiled, grabbed Puck's hand and walked off with him. In truth, he was absolutely crushed. He turned in the corridor and felt for his locker, all his senses confused and feeling so alone in the hordes of students. How could she have done this to him? He located his locker and opened it, grabbing his bag and placing it over his head, walking slowly to the Glee club practise room.

When he arrived, he saw it was empty except for Mr Will Schuester, "You OK, Finn?" he asked politely. Finn stared at him and it brought back a sense of deja vu. This was how it was when he found out that Quinn was actually pregnant. The silence must have worried Will as he had walked over and pulled Finn into a hug, bringing up more déjà vu. Within a few minutes, Finn had allowed himself to completely break, tears spilling out of his eyes. Will shushed him a couple of times and lead him to a couple of chairs. They both sat, Will's knees pointed toward Finn and Finn's hands rested in his own lap, occasionally reaching for his cheek to wipe away the tears. When he had composed himself enough, he sighed and shook his head, "Mr S" he began, "I don't think… I'm not… Puck's the father of Quinn's baby". The pain that came from actually saying it out loud was unbearable. He took a huge breath and sighed, "She just told me, so we broke up". Will shook his head and placed a hand on Finn's back. He looked to the floor and sighed, "I really don't know what to say Finn. I mean, I know it hurts and it's gunna for a while but you need to think of it as a good thing. At least now you can get your scholarship". Finn nodded but was interrupted when he heard the door open. It was the other members of the Glee club. "Are you going to be OK?" Will asked the broken teenager. Finn nodded and stood up, wiping his red and puffy eyes, aware that the rest of the group were staring.

For Finn, practise passed by really slowly. At the start, he tried to listen to Mr S talk about the aim for the next couple of weeks, but it all sounded blurred and he couldn't understand a word that was being said. Every time the door opened, he panicked that it was Quinn and Puck arriving late, but they never showed up. At the halfway point, he watched as everyone stood up, ready for practise by he remained seated. Will approached him and asked if he would like to sit out for the rehearsal and he nodded. Then he heard the music start and he pulled his knees up to his chest and placed his head on them. This wasn't the Finn he knew, this was a different Finn… A completely broken alone Finn.
