So, I was just listening to this song, and the idea popped into my head and I ran with it. I know I shouldn't be starting another story. God knows how many unfinished stories I'm working on right now. I've got some ideas for more chapters, but I guess I'll let y'all let me know if it's even worth continuing.


He knew he'd made mistakes. He wasn't exactly the smartest, so he'd made a lot of them, but at the end of the day, Rachel was the only girl he'd ever loved, and he would love her until the day he died.

She'd handed him the papers the other day, saying she wanted a divorce. She told him that they'd both changed, and she hadn't been in love with him for a while, and that she thinks she's in love with someone else.

But when he'd seen her talking with Quinn today, it had clicked. Quinn was stealing his Rachel.

He wasn't intending to cause a scene, but then he didn't seem to understand that singing to her at their high school reunion would do exactly that.

He grabbed the microphone and after clearing his throat, effectively gathering everyone's attention, he began to sing.

I can't find a reason to let go
Even though you've found a new love
And she's what your dreams are made of
I can find a reason to hang on
What went wrong can be forgiven
Without you, it ain't worth livin' alone.

Sometimes I wake up crying at night
And sometimes I scream out your name
What right does she have to take you away
When for so long you were mine

Took out all the pictures of our wedding day
It was a time of love and laughter
Happy ever after
But even those old pictures have begun to fade
Please tell me she's not real
That you're really coming home to stay

Sometimes I wake up crying at night
And sometimes I scream out your name
What right does she have to take your heart away
When for so long you were mine

I can give you two good reasons
To show you love's not blind

He's two and she's four and you know they adore you
So how can I tell them you've changed your mind

Sometimes I wake up crying at night
And sometimes I scream out your name
What right does she have to take your heart away
When for so long you were mine

I remember when you were mine

Quinn's POV

Rachel was fuming, not that I could blame her. Her soon-to-be ex-husband was causing a scene in the middle of the reunion. It was a classic Finn move, really. I mean, in high school he had made everything about him, even when it really had nothing to do with him, so it wasn't surprising that he'd do the same thing now.

Rachel and I had become best friends since senior year, and though I knew I was in love with her, I was very careful to never cross that line. I knew that if anything were to happen between Rachel and I that she would have to be the one to start things. I never let my more-than-friendly feelings show, even when Finn wasn't around. I respected Rachel too much to destroy her relationship with Finn. He had managed to do that all by himself.

It was almost a month ago when Rachel turned up at my apartment once again, after Finn had cancelled their plans to take their kids to the zoo (for the seventh time) in favor of spending more time with the boys, playing (losing money in) poker. She held two-year-old Zachariah on her hip, her other hand clasped with that of her four-year-old daughter, Josephine.

It was later that night, after the kids had fallen asleep that she had told me that she wanted to get a divorce. It was that night that she told me that she thought she might have feelings for me.

Rachel's POV

I was beyond furious with Finn. How dare he? I marched up to him, dragging him away from the microphone, not that it helped that much because I started yelling at him. I realized that he really identified with what he was singing, even if his view of things was skewed.

"How dare you, Finn Hudson," I screeched, not caring that everyone could hear me after the song he'd just sung. "I understand that you're upset, but singing that song in front of all these people who don't need to know the intricacies of our personal lives. You make it sound like we were happy and I up and cheated on you! Newsflash Hudson, you disappeared from our lives a long time ago. And how dare you imply that I'm leaving our children! When was the last time you've spent any time with Zachariah or Josephine? I'll tell you. It's been months since you've made any attempt at being a part of our family. While you were off losing our hard-earned money to your poker buddies, Quinn has been taking us to the zoo. Which, by the way, is where you were supposed to be when you decided you'd rather gamble away our livelihoods. Yes, Finn, we were in love. Were. You started pulling away before Zachariah was even born, and about a week after his birth you were just gone. Only home to sleep. So yes, I started leaning on my best friend for support. She held me when I cried because you couldn't be bothered to even come home for a family dinner. And I tried to talk to you, but you wouldn't have it. You were never around, and the few times you were you wouldn't listen. I tried so hard to make it work between us, even after I realized I wasn't in love with you, and I did that for our kids, but when it became clear that you couldn't be bothered to spend time with them either, I'd had enough. At that point I'd realized for a while that I had feelings for Quinn, but I had never acted on them. In fact, I only told her about them after I had told her that I was planning on giving you a divorce. So you can take your self-pity and go wave it somewhere else because it's entirely your fault. You were the one who gave up on this family. Not me. You."
