don't know why you got so excited that we were going to be moving in together?"

"It's just a room,Finn! We can decorate it if you want to!"

"Okay,good.Well,then the first thing thing that needs to go is that f—— lamp.And then we need to get rid of this f—- couch cover!"

"FINN! HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT?!" Nellie screamed shoving him back.Finn shoved her back ten times harder,causing her to fall on the ground hitting her head.

"How about you shut the hell up Nellie! I'm sick you sticking up for him all the time! How about you go back to your mom who slaps you around" Finn regretted the words as soon as they came out of his mouth.Kurt gasped and helped Nellie up,who was on the verge of the breakdown.

"Really?" She asked,her voice cracking."I've had your back this whole time.I told Kurt not to make you uncomfortable.Not saying this is Kurts fault,but yeah.How dare you say that to me when I'm trying to help you out? Calling Kurt a slur in front of me? Wow,Finn.Just wow" She said.

"Nellie,I'm sorry I-"

"Sorry doesn't cut it" She snarled.By that time Burt came down the stairs and looked angry as hell.

"What did you just call him? And what'd you say to her?" He demanded."Oh,no I didn't say anything.I was talking to the blanket."

"If you use that word,you're talking about him."

"Relax dad I didn't take it that way" Kurt said."He didn't mean it" Nellie muttered looking down.

"Yeah,that's because you're sixteen and you're fourteen and you both still assume the best in people.You live a few years,you start to see the hate in people's hearts.Even the best people.You use the n word?"

"Of course not" Finn responded."How about retard? You call that nice girl in Cheerios with Kurt and Nellie,you call her a retard?"

"Becky? No,she's my friend.She's got Down syndrome.I'd never call her that.That's cruel."

"But you think it's ok to come into my house and say f—-?"

"That's not what I meant"

"I know what you meant! What you think I didn't use that word when I was your age?" Nellie let a few tears slip and looked down.

"Some kid gets clocked in practice we'd tell him to stop being such a f—.Shake it off.And Nellie.There was this girl in high school.Bad parents.Very bad.Kids used to make fun of her by pretending to hit her,laughing when she flinched back.They meant it exactly the way you meant it.That being gay was wrong.That's it's some kind of punishable offense.I really thought you were different Finn.You know I thought that being in that glee club and being raised by your mom meant that you were some you know,new generation of dude who saw things differently.Who just kind of you know,came into the world knowing what has taken my years of struggling to figure out.I guess I was wrong.I'm sorry Finn,but you can't....you can't stay here."

"Dad"

"Mr.Hummel."

"I love your mom.And maybe this is going to cost me her,but my family comes first.I can't have that kind of poison around.This is our home,Kurt.He is my son.And thats my sons best friend.Out in the world,you do what you want,but not under my roof."

"Am I ok staying here too? B-Because when you kicked Finn out I thought-"

"Nellie,like I told you when you first moved in,stay as long as you need." Kurt pulled her in for a side hug and Nellie nodded,tears streaming down her cheeks still.

In glee club Nellie looked depressed and drained."Hey,I want to talk about this" Finn whispered to the two teens.

"What the hell is there to say? You said your piece" Nellie turned back around and crossed her arms over her chest."All right,let's get things started" Mr.Shue walked in with puck not to close behind.

"Mr.Shue,there's something I want to say to Quinn.And I want everybody to hear it" Mr.Shue nodded and puck carried on.

"At first I didn't really get this theatrical assignment.Being larger than life and putting it all out there,cause I'm afraid all the time.That's how my dad was,too.He was to busy being all rock and roll to be there for his kids.And you know what? I didn't care my dad was a badass.I wanted him to be there.And he never was.And then I learned all this KISS stuff and while Jackie Daniels is a great name for like a powerboat or something,it's not right for a baby girl.So if my KISS mates will help me out,I got a better idea.Grab a stool guys" All the boys except Kurt get up and grab a stool.

Puck then stands up and walks towards Quinn."I know you're giving her up,but before you do,I think you should name her Beth.If you'd let me,I'd really like to be there when she's born.I'd really like to meet her." Quinn nodded with tears in her eyes and Nellie smiled at the cute moment.

After glee club Finn pulled Nellie aside."We're going to have to talk about last night one way or another" He said.

"I don't want to talk to you.You really hurt my feelings,and I don't appreciate that" She commented continuing  to walk.

"Nel,please.I was really mad and I know you were just trying to stop me and I got mad and snapped at you.Please.You're my best friend and I can't loose you." Nellie looked away.

"Unlimited M&M cookies?" He suggested.Nellie showed a small smile causing Finn to smile as well."I can forgive you,but don't think I'll ever forget" Finn nodded.

"Ok,I can work with that" Nellie giggled and linked arms with Finn.

The next day in glee club Nellie was slightly happier then before and that was a good thing.The glee club members sat in the choir room in their costumes they wore throughout the week.

"Whoa! Guys,why are you all in your theatricality costumes?"

"It's the end of the week.We were kind of hoping to learn what the lesson of the assignment was." Artie explained.

"Well,um,you guys have had some great numbers this week,but I'm not totally sure I know either" Nellie chuckled slightly.

"I do.I refuse to dress like somebody I'm not to be somebody I'm not.And I learned it's good to be a little theatrical." The glee club members all clapped for Tina.

"Wait.Where's Kurt? And where's Finn?" Nellie shot up and tried running out of the choir room,but she tripped because of her heels.So she threw her heels on the floor and ran out of the choir room with the other glee members.

"KURT!" Nellie screamed running towards him.Azimo held her back."Get your hands off me!" She yelled trying to get out of his grip.

"Consider it payback for punching me the other day" He yelled shoving her to the floor."Do what you want.But he'll never change.You're doing nothing" Nellie screamed.

"You're not hitting anyone" Finn spoke up from behind them.He was wearing a red dress.

"Oh my god" Kurt and Nellie said at the same time."Is he wearing a red rubber dress or am I trippin'?" Nellie laughed slightly.

"You're just blind" She snarled causing both boys to glare at her.

"I want to thank you Kurt.I realize I still have a lot to learn,but the reason I'm here right now....in a shower curtain,is...because of you.And I'm not going to let anyone lay a hand on either of you" Nellie stood up and wrapped Finn in a hug.

"Thanks Hudson River" She whispered.Finn hugged her back just as tight and placed her behind him."Oh,really dude? Cause we can take both of you."

"Yeah? Can you take all of us?" Puck came from behind Nellie and she smirked to herself."Ok.Okay I get it.I took biology.You know what Karofsky? We done disturbed the freak hive.The worker freaks is trying to protect the queen freak."

"Next time,we'll bring some friends too" Nellie scoffed."Try it pal." Then they both walked off.

"I'm tired of everyone calling us freaks" Rachel commented taking off her glasses."Well look at us we are freaks." Mercedes responded.Everyone laughed at that.

"But we're all freaks together.And we shouldn't have to hide it." Mr.Shue clapped from behind them.

"Nice job Finn.I think you just figured out what the lesson was.Kinda makes me wish I had planned it.But Mercedes is right.You all do look incredibly insane."

"Thank you!"

"Thank you!"

"You're so welcome.Anyways,let's all get back to work before you're all forced to join the circus.Next stop? Regionals!" Nellie laughed and linked arms with Kurt and Finn.
