Chapter One:

The Help

Finn Hudson follows the remaining passengers off of the plane, his luggage curled tightly at his side. He walks into the airport, his body numb at the new and uncomfortable air that fill his senses. This isn't New York, nothing like it. It's a dump compared to the Big Apple.

Friends and Family await at the end of the runway, children waving happily as their father's come into view, boyfriend's kissing his partner's lips as they meet halfway. He frowns, he wish he could have that kind of reunion.

"Hudson! Finn Hudson!" His head perks at the sound of his name being called, and he easily finds the source of the voice standing in the middle of the crowd. A tiny redhead smiles brightly at her obvious curly-haired husband, and Finn walks towards the pair, the closest thing to family he'll ever get.

"Nice to meet you Finn," the curly-haired – he remembers Ms. Sylvester telling him his name is Will – guy says. He extends his hand towards him, shaking it lightly. "I don't know if you remember, but my name's Will, Will Schuester. From what I've heard on the phone with Ms. Sylvester, it seems like you're a good man."

Finn almost smirks at the known lie. "Yeah, nice to see you too" he turns to the small ginger, "and you're Emma right?"

She pinks, smiling widely. Taking Finn's hand in hers, she grips it tightly. "We're so glad you're here Finn, I can only imagine how scared you were, living back in New – "

"I don't want to talk about it," Finn stammers, his teeth gritting tightly. Emma seems taken back by his tone, though nods in understanding. She lets go of his hand immediately, taking a hold of Will's instead. "Well should we get going?"

Finn nods meekly, and Will bends down to help him with his bags. Grinning at him fatherly, he taps Finn's shoulder in attempted affection. Finn sighs, following his new guardians out of the Lima airport. The dropped temperature and low sun temporarily freeze him, he's never been anywhere outside of New York City, so the low degrees of this crappy town kind of freaks him out.

They lead him to an old, red station wagon at the end of the parking lot. He places his luggage inside of the trunk, climbing into the backseat without another word. He has nothing to say. What do you talk about with your new foster parents? Sports? Girls? Cars?

He shrugs to himself, turning his head to prop on his elbow. He watches the transition of New York City to Lima before his eyes, almost smiling at how different the places are. This town is small, a little chilly even in the middle of March. It'll take a while for him to get used to it, he knows it, but he'll do whatever it takes to forget about his past, forget about what happened back in his home state.

"Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit, he took the midnight train going anywhere." Finn snaps his head to the front of the car, his lips trembling at the sound of Will's singing voice replacing the sound on the radio. He see's Will's wide smile in the rear view mirror.

"You like this song?" he asks, his eyebrows shooting up in anticipation. Finn swallows thickly, a floodgate of memories flashing before him. He remembers his dad singing this song one day in the summer of 2007. "Believe this song son, never doubt yourself alright? Never give up on yourself." He would tell Finn that every day, every time he –

He feels his eyes sting, and shakes his head meekly. "Uhm yeah," he smiles, trying to hide the evidence of his despair, "Journey's great."

Will beams. "Good to hear! I've got a whole album of their greatest hits if you want to listen to them later," he chips up, almost loosing control of the steering wheel. Emma sends him a sympathetic smile. "Sorry, my husband is kind of obsessed."

Finn flakey grins at the giggling couple. "I think I'm just going to go to bed when I get to the house actually," he says, his voice monotone but depressing at the same time. He see's Will's smile falter slightly.

"Alright well maybe another time right?"

Finn only nods.

The rest of the car ride to the destination (he's not ready to say home yet) is quiet but not in an awkward way. They just don't have anything to say to each other, and Finn respects their non-talking policy. The car jolts to a stop in the driveway of a small, brick house, it's window panels and doorway painted a taint white. It looks cozy, just not like his home back in New York. Finn stalls, shaking his head from the thoughts. He's must stop thinking about that. You're trying to move on, Damnit.

He gets out of the car easily, grabbing his bags from the trunk and bringing them to porch. Emma opens the front door for him, helping him bring his luggage and things upstairs to the spare bedroom he'll call his own from now on. It's kind of small for a big guy like him, but comfortable nonetheless. He sets his stuff down on the bed, and it bounces upwards from the springs.

"Dinner will be ready in about twenty minutes if you're not too tired," Emma tells him, a sweet smile on her face. Jeez, is that permanent?

"Thanks but I kind of just want to go to sleep, got school tomorrow and stuff," he explains, already opening his suitcase to take out his sleeping clothes. He looks up, surprised to not see Emma's not-so-permanent smile on her face.

"Oh okay well, Will is heading out to grab your truck actually, so that you can drive to school and back. We'll give you directions tomorrow, it's not too hard to find." She walks towards him, placing a shy kiss on her forehead. Finn closes his eyes at the motherly touch. "Have a good sleep Finn, if you need anything we'll be in the room across the hallway."

She tiptoes out of the room, waving goodbye as she closes the bedroom door behind her. He sighs to himself as he feels the familiar isolation and loneness creep up on him, tearing at his guarded walls and memories.

He has a feeling he won't have a good night.
