First Glee Fic! Yay! Anyways, this idea just came to me. It's a little dark in the beginning. And sorry about the short chapter but they will get longer. Promise. Anyways let me know if I should continue with this or not :).

Rachel sighed. It was late as she walked to the bus stop from an audition at the community theater. It was the summer after graduation. Glee was over. It wouldn't be long until everyone moved on to bigger and brighter things. Quinn and Puck were moving to California where she got accepted to school and he had decided to follow her. Mercedes and Kurt decided to accept music scholarships at two different schools and Rachel had decided to attend Julliard. She had dreamed of getting into Julliard ever since she could remember. One would think she would be ecstatic but she just couldn't bring herself to get ready to leave for New York. Not when it would mean leaving him. Yeah, yeah, she knew they weren't dating, she knew it wouldn't work out between them. It never would. They were too different. She was too different. Too different for a boy who had gotten a full ride football scholarship to Texas. He was her best friend. He always would be but she needed more. She was in love with him. In love with him so much that no other boy would do. Every time she tried to date someone else she always seemed to imagine Finn instead. That wasn't fair to her or the other men so she had really just given up on guys for the time being.

She caught herself day dreaming again and when she looked up and saw the bus pulling away from the stop she began to jog to catch up to it.

"Wait! Wait! Stop!" She came to a stop under the street light and let her shoulders drop after missing the bus. Her house was too far too walk and her dads weren't in town for the weekend so she got out her phone to call the one person she hoped wouldn't be busy.

"Rachel?" She struggled to hear the man on the other end of the line, with all the noise in the background. Where was he?

"Finn? Finn, where are you, I can barely hear you."

"Sorry, hold on a sec."

She waited and listened as she heard him tell someone he would be right back and apparently walk away from all the noise.

"Sorry about that Rach. Puck and I and a few other guys are watchin the game at his house."

"Oh...well if you're busy then I guess I'll let you go."

"No, no. It's cool. What did you need?"

She prayed he wouldn't be too busy for her. Little things like that gave her hope that he really did care, if only a little. "I just got done with my audition at the community center a few minutes ago and I missed the bus home. My dad's are out of town and I don't know how to get back."

"Oh ok, well no worries, I'll come get you," he said with such little hesitation, it made her heart skip a beat. "Where exactly are you?"

"The bus stop a block from the center."

"Alright. Maybe you should go back inside. That part of town isn't too safe at night." There was concern in his voice.

"I'll be alright and besides the center is closed now. I'll just wait here for you."

"Well alright Rach, I'll be there as soon as I can."

"Thank you Finn, I really appreciate it," she said cooly but she was holding back the dance of happiness at the thought of getting to see Finn in mere minutes.

"No prob. See ya soon."

"Bye." Rachel hung up the phone and sat her bag down on the bench. She smiled. She hated this hold that Finn Hudson had on her. The smallest thing from him gave her butterflies. Simply agreeing to pick a friend up when they missed the bus made her the happiest girl alive. She knew she over-analyzed things from him but she couldn't help it. He was just so...so perfect. She grabbed a book from her bag in an attempt to keep herself occupied until Finn got there when a voice from behind her caused her to turn around.
