Better than a Firework

Rachel Berry sat squished in the corner of the tiny Breadsticks booth as Kurt Hummel and the rest of the Warblers finished up their rendition of "Silly Love Songs." The final line "you are my loved one" lingered in her head and the face of a dark haired boy was imprinted in her brain. Rachel's daydream was disrupted by Tina who waved her fingers in front of her face to signal that it was time for them to go. Her eyes fluttered back and forth as she was snapped back to reality. The gang rose from their seats to leave, but not before they complimented Kurt and the rest of the Warblers on their stellar performance. Rachel was about to turn towards the door, but Kurt pulled her aside since he had noticed her glum expression throughout the performance.

"Rachel, remember what we talked about at the sleepover. You want to be a star right?" he reminded her.

Rachel nodded trying hard to embrace her single and ready to take on the world attitude, but for some reason she still couldn't shake the thought of her past lover. Although unconvinced by Rachel's reaction Kurt bid her goodnight and let her make her way to the door. The rest of the Glee clubbers were already a few meters ahead of her, so she left the restaurant- alone. As she stepped through the door she came to terms with the fact that maybe alone wasn't a bad thing. She had friends and maybe that's all she needed at this point in her life. However, that thought was shattered within the next ten seconds.

Only a few feet in front of the restaurant on the curb sat a tall, quirky kid who many described as having a slight resemblance to Frankenstein. He was wrapped in a heavy, navy blue blanket. This boy was known to everyone at McKinley High as Finn Hudson. If it wasn't for the street light gleaming over his pale face Rachel wouldn't have even noticed him.

"Hey, Rachel" he called to her from the curb then let a loud sneeze escape from him which echoed in the empty street.

Rachel whirled around, and then scolded "What on earth are you doing here? You have mono! "

Finn sniffled and stood up. He slowly made his way over to where Rachel was standing. As he got closer to her Rachel saw how sunken his eyes had become due the sickness and how pale his skin was. He really did look like Frankenstein. Before Rachel could utter another protest as to why he was out in the cold in his condition Finn spoke.

"You didn't let me finish in the nurse's office before and there was no way I could let you go without knowing the truth." Finn confessed. "Yeah when I kissed Quinn I did see fireworks, but when I kissed you it was indescribable. There is nothing in this world that could be compared to it, Rachel."

She stared blankly at him. Her breath became hard to draw and no matter how hard she tried she could not find words to say. For the first in her life this diva was rendered speechless. Luckily at that moment Blaine strolled out of the restaurant and Kurt pranced out behind him. It was as if he sensed the awkward situation like how Spiderman's spidey senses tingled when danger was near. He hurried up behind Rachel and laced his arm between hers to pull her away.

"Rachel! Why didn't you wait for us! Let us walk you home!" Kurt improvised and then turned to Finn. "Umm Hi Finn. Your skin looks terrible. I'll give you some of my moisturizer when we get home."

Rachel smiled at Finn before she was whisked away by Kurt. The smile remained etched on her face the entire walk home.
