5x03 - The Quarterback

Never in my life did I ever expect this to happen, well not so soon.

People say to live your life like it's your last and to never take anything for granted but some people have to learn the hard way.

Sadly, I was one of them.

Finn was such an amazing friend. Even though he made a few mistakes here and there, he always found a way to fix them and that's what was amazing about him.

He always found a way to make you laugh or smile when you were feeling down or when you just felt lost.

Those times when he would ask Leo and I for extra help with his dancing or when San and I would go on double dates with him and Rachel.

I miss those days.

It has now been 3 weeks since his funeral and we are still in the process of grieving. Mr. Schue had called the alumni down to Lima to do something special for Finn.

So now we were all sitting in the choir room watching Mr. Schue write Finn on the board.

"I'm really glad so many of you could make it back for this." Mr. Schue says.

"We wouldn't miss it for anything, Mr. Schue." Mike mentions.

"The funeral was for everyone, but I wanted to do something just for us. To memorialize him the only way we know how...by singing. All week long. Anyone who wants to can come up and sing. Maybe a song he sung, maybe something that reminds you of him..." Mr. Schue tells us.

"Singing isn't going to bring him back." Puck comments.

"No, it's not. Nothing is. Not ever. But... for two minutes or so, we can all maybe remember the best parts of him. So, think of what you want to sing, if you want to sing, and we'll start tomorrow." Mr. Schue adds

"Oh, I-I can't wait until tomorrow, Mr. Shue. I've been bawling for three weeks. If I don't get this all out now, I don't think I'll ever stop crying." Mercedes mentions.

"Sure, Mercedes. Start us off." Mr. Schue says.

"Um...I, uh, remember Finn telling me that he sang this song to his baby's sonogram. Well, he thought it was his baby. He was the first cool kid to be nice to any of us, and he was... our leader in here. We love you, Finn." Mercedes tells us.

*I'll Stand By You - Sung by Mercedes Jones*

Later that day we were all in the auditorium since Artie and Sam were ready to perform their song.

*Fire and Rain - Sung by Sam & Artie*

The next day we were all sitting in the choir room. Santana was ready to sing her song and was now standing in front of the room.

"Okay, I know that Finn had his doubts about God, but I am convinced that Squishyteets is up in Heaven right now, plopped down next to his new best friend Fat Elvis, helping themselves to a picnic of baby back ribs smothered in butterscotch pudding and tater tot grease, so, this is for you, Hudson." Santana says.

*If I Die Young - Sung by Santana Lopez*

Towards the end of the song, Santana could no longer hold in her tears and started crying. She started to cry hard so Mr. Schue and Mike went to go help her but she ran away screaming.

Kurt then followed after her.

Later that day Puck had gathered us in the choir room so he could sing his song.

*No Surrender - Sung by Noah Puckerman*

He looked at the chair Finn sat in throughout the whole song. In the end, we all pulled him into a hug.

"I love you guys." Puck comments.

"Where is it, Puckerman?" Santana asks storming in.

"It's just a tree. I told Beiste I'd put it back." Puck responds.

"No, not the tree. Finn's jacket. I went for a lie-down in the nurse's office, hung it up on the coat rack by her door, and when I woke up from my grief siesta, it was gone. I know you took it. We all know you took it." Santana tells him.

"I didn't take a jacket." Puck says.

"If we were rounding up the usual suspects, that would pretty much just be you." Artie mentions.

" I didn't take Finn's jacket!" Puck yells.

"Enough! Please! No fighting this week." Mr. Schue exclaims.

"No me gusta," Santana comments as we all walkout.

The next day a few of us went to his memorial in the school. We placed a few red drumsticks on his memorial.

"This is sort of cheesy." Kitty comments.

"No, it's beautiful. I just had to see it." Rachel says and we all look over in surprise.

We then all head to the choir room with Rachel following behind us.

"Nobody treat me with kid gloves, okay? I don't know what to say, either. I loved Finn, and...he loved me, and he loved all of you guys. I know he did. I like to sing in the car and, um...and before Finn, I used to sing alone...and this was the first song that I...sang with him when we would...drive around together, so...this is for him." Rachel tells us.

*Make You Feel My Love - Sung by Rachel Berry*

During the song, I couldn't hold in my tears anymore and I let them all out.
