Chapter 40: Sick Feelings

Disclaimer: Don't Own glee

"Wait, Rachel before you walk out the door leaving your boyfriend behind can you please tell me whats going on?" Finn said squeezing my hand

"Finn listen I don't know what's wrong but Quinn said something is wrong with Puck its not good I think!" I said trying to put jeans over my sore legs

"Rach im sure its not bad, call Quinn and ask because were both really sick and cant risk spreading the flu." He said grabbing my phone

"Agh, your right but if he needs us were leaving no matter what!" I said putting my hand on my hip.

"Sure" he mumbled crawling in bed.

I was really tired and not feeling much better. Finn had been getting on my nerves lately but I figured that was normal since we had been locked in a house for the past 3 days. I just cant wait to feel better so I can get out of the house and go back to school. Thank god our parents are understanding and letting us stay with each other because even though were on each others case's and getting annoying its better than being alone.

"Hey Quinn, its Rachel is it something that can wait a day or two until Finn and I recover or is it an emergency?" I asked into the phone

"No, Rach that's fine. Its serious but can wait. Ill see you in a couple of days okay?" She asked seeming stressed out and being really short.

"Alright" I said coughing and hanging up

When I hung up Finn started playing with the lace on the end of my night gown.

"Finnnn" I said slowly "Not Now, im tired and feeling the least bit sexy." I grumbled laying flat on my stomach

He just mumbled and put his hand on my hand and kissed it.

"I know we've been a little out of touch but its just because were sick" I said looking into his deep chocolate brown eyes "Fine, ill seetle for a bubble bath I could use one. But nothing more than that you hear me!" I said pointing to him then walking to the bathroom to run the water.

"Uh huh" he said with a grin "When are your parents coming home?" He said stumbling into the bathroom taking off his clothes

"Um, later tonight but were going to your house later because your mom is dropping us off soup" I said undressing quickly because it was freezing and jumping in the water that burned my toes.

"Owwww" I said slowly dunking my body in the steaming bubbles as Finn sat in the tub with a look of concern and laughter.

"Oh, Shut up Finn your bigger the heat doesn't affect you as much!" I had to stop filling the bathtub up when I bathed with Finn because his large body always made the water rise all the way to the top so it was barley ever an actual bath. "be glad you're in here" I said as he splashed me.

"Finn, that's just one more thing I have to clean up before my dad's get home from work" I pouted splashing him back. Although my body felt weak and ready to break at any moment.

We soaked in the tub for about 30 minutes before both of us started to get wrinkly.

"Finny, im so tired I just want to lay right here on my bed forever" I pouted crawling in my bed with my towel on and snuggling up to my pillow.

Finn slowly plopped himself on the bed laying on top of the sheets in his towel snuggled close to me and laying his head on my chest. "Okay Babe, lets just nap. Were both tired"

"But what about your mom?" I asked stroking his hair back and forth

"Well it will be a short nap lets say an hour then we can get home in time to meet her for lunch okay?" He said settling in the crock of my neck and closes his eyes. I tried not to disturb him because he fell right into sleep. But I really had to sneeze I tried to hold it in. I mean I really tried but it didn't last long because I surprised him by sneezing my brains out. He jumped and put his hand on his head.

"Sorry" I said with big eyes sneezing again.

"Its ok" he said kissing my head and turning his back to me and rolling to the complete other side of the bed not to be disturbed again.

I was soundly sleeping and Finn had somehow rolled over to my side and snuggled into me again. He probably got clingy and lonely. Even though that was normally what I did. We were still wrapped up in towels and damp from the bath and I knew we had to leave soon but I just couldn't bring myself to get up. I was so peaceful and looking at Finn sleep always made me happy I dint want to be anywhere else. After the bath and nap I was feeling a lot better. Hopefully I would be able to return to school on Friday.

I finally fell back asleep until my bedroom door flung open and I widened my eyes quickly and quickly yelped.

"Kurt!" I said "How did you get i-"

"I should have known you two would pretend to be sick only to future pleasure yourselves while all the parents were at work. I mean Finn I understand but Rachel? Really! What about Julliard" he starting rambling before giving me a worse headache.

"Breathe Kurt, chill" Finn said tightening his towel

"Unacceptable." He stated plainly

"Kurt, though my sex life is NON of your business! We were not. We feel asleep and are actually sick. So if you don't mind why are you here?" I asked motioning his presence.

"Carole Sent me over to see if you too were responsive because she's been calling for the past half an hour" He said shutting the door and leaving the room.

"Oh Crap Mom!" Finn said standing up and getting dressed.

"Il get dressed wait for me?" I asked handing Finn his keys.

"Yeah Rach, because im going to make you walk to my house?" He said laughing

"Shut up and go get the car heated" I said throwing his shirt to him.

When I jumped in the car only to be interrogated by Kurt as to what Finn and I were just doing, which I assured him it was nothing. I just wanted to get to Carole's and eat lunch. I hadn't been able to keep much food down but Im hoping that I can eat today.

When we pulled up I zipped my jacket up and pulled up my yoga pants. It was still cold outside as winter was passing and spring was coming. When we walked in the house Carole came up and took our jackets and put us on the couch.

"How are you too feeling?" She asked handing us a bug bowl of steaming soup.

"Im feeling better I think its passing just the remanding coughing and sneezing. " I said sipping my soup

"Im feeling much better, just a headache. But that could be from Rachel's excessive talking" he laughed quietly

"Hey" I said quiet "you better get used to it now"

"You kids seem to be getting better" Carole said "ill call your fathers Rachel and I think you kids might need to go back to school tomorrow"

"Ugh" Finn groaned

"That sounds good" I said "I did miss two test" I patted Finns back as he groaned louder.

It was around four o'clock and I was laying on the couch at Finns house and we were watching a movie that had just ended.

"Finn How about you give me a ride home and you can grab all the things you left there?" I asked standing up and putting up my soup bowl.

"Okay" he said grabbing his keys.

"Thank you Carole for everything, and letting Finn stay for the past 2 days." I said smiling and hugging her lightly

"Well not that is was a choice on your favor it was an option because you have no siblings to future contaminate and Burt, Kurt and I don't need Finn getting us sick. So thank you for having him" she said smiling

"In that case, My Pleasure"

I looked over and Kurt broke out in a fit of laughter making me blush a deep red.

"Kurt!" I eyed him "Well talk tomorrow" and with that I waved and walked out to the car.

When we drove to my house and pulled in the driveway I saw two cars pull up to Noahs house.

"Finn, we forgot about Puck! We should go over and see what happened" I said jumping out of the car and walking full force over to his house.

"Wait up" Finn said running to my side. "Whatever this is we have to be by Pucks side okay?" he asked

"Alright, got it" I said ringing the doorbell.

When the door flung open I saw Quinn standing there in what looked like to be the same thing I was wearing.

"Rachel! How are you feeling?" She asked hugging me.

"Better, now what's happened" I said as she hugged Finn.

"Quinn who is it?" Puck said coming to the door looking like he hadn't slept in hours.

"Oh, Hey Guys" he said walking off.

"Whats his deal?" Finn asked and Quinn took us into an empty room to explain what was going on.

"Okay, So Puck has been going through a really hard time because, Rachel do you remember his dad?" Quinn started

"Um, I guess I might have meet him a few times. Didn't he leave them like 8 years ago or something. He wasn't the best man as I remember?" I replied wanting to know more

"Yeah well they received some news last night that his dad killed himself." She said which broke my heart. "Although Puck refuses to admit it crushes him that he doesn't have a father and that his dad let him then got high and drunk and killed himself, and it just really hurt him. He's confused as to why he wasn't enough for his father and why he never got to see him." She said talking to both of us, I could really see the hurt on Finns face as she talked.

"I know you want to help because he's your friend so my advice is to just talk to him not to much about it but get him talking. Let him understand what really happened." She said

"I think I can talk to him. I mean both of you still have both parents and I don't have a father either and I think that could really help with talking to Puck" Finn said standing up.

This was horrible news not only for Puck but I wonder how Mary and his mom are doing. I cant imagine anything like this happening to me or my fathers and its certainly not something I would wish on anyone else.

We were in for a long night and week ahead
