The Shallow

Too Much

Chapter 5
(The next day)
Finns pov :
I got up from my bed and looked over to see it was empty . I got up and got dressed for work , I had to get back to my life , despite everything I gotta keep going that's the only way I can keep myself calm . I got to work and began my day . I went into my desk draw and pulled out the tiny liquor bottle and poured it into my coffee cup and took my antidepressants and then a sip .
(3rd period )
"Finn , Finn , wake up." Mr.Shue said .

I opened my eyes to see my co worker and former teacher standing there concerned .

"What's wrong ?" I asked him .

"Are you okay?" He asked me .

"Yeah just resting a bit ." I said

"Have you been drinking ?" He asked smelling the alcohol on my breath .

"Nah man , I had a late night." I told him

"Finn, maybe you should go home and get some rest . I mean I'm sure Figgins wouldn't mind given you time off of work with Quinn passing ." He said

"No, I'm fine , I'm just going to get some air ." I said

"You want some company?" He asked me

"No , thanks but I'm fine ." I said and left the room .

(The roof )
I stood up on the roof looking out towards the parking lot. I could end it right now and it wouldn't matter . I could just step off and it would all be over , no more guilt about Rachel or Quinn . It could all be over .

Rachel's pov:
I got to McKinley high to say goodbye to Finn and Mr . Shue . I got to the school and then looked up , and that's when I saw Finn . Oh my god , he was going to commit suicide. I ran into the school and called 911 and told them to get here then made my way to the roof .
I got to the roof and that when I saw him .
"Finn stop!" I yelled .

"Rachel ?" He said not turning around .
I stood there on the roof looking at my ex best friend who was on the edge of the school building where he worked .

"Please , don't do this Finn . I know you're hurting but please , take my hand ." I told him

"I can't do this anymore Rach." He said with pain in his voice , "I can't live anymore , she's gone , my wife is dead and I have nothing to live for ."

"Quinn wouldn't want you to do this to yourself Finn . You have family , people who love you Finn , you have something to live for , please don't do this Finny . Please don't leave ." I begged him

He hesitated and I came closer.

"Just take my hand Finny , and everything will be okay ." I told him

I extended my hand and grabbed his and pulled him off the edge and into a hug . He began to cry .

"I'm so sorry Rach, I am so sorry ." He cried

"It's okay , you're going to be okay ." I said holding him.
