Currently in the process of writing another multi chaptered story (Stelena though) so bear with me on the update front.
I'll try to update both stories at least once a week. This story is mostly going to be written from a one sided person, meaning Rachel. But, it can change when the story evolves. Please keep in mind that English is not my native language and that there can be (minor, I hope) errors. Enjoy!

Seeing him, if only it was for those five seconds, brought back every single memory she had safely tucked away in the back of her mind.
One look from him and all the feelings came fluttering back.
Shit, she still loved him. Darn it, some things never change!

She had to remind herself to focus. It was not that he was still interested in her. The cold look he gave her when he saw her took away all doubt.
And, could she really blame him? She cheated on him: she broke his heart, twice!
Granted, she hadn't heard from him in two months and damn that Brody for keep telling her that she looked sexy.
That's what every insecure girl wants to hear, right?
She should have guest then and there that he was just another guy wanting to get in her pants. She still suffers the consequences for that, daily.
She never actually slept with him, but she came pretty darn close.

So, Finn finally decided to move on. She had no right to have any feelings about that whatsoever, but she does.
She really hates to admit it because she shouldn't be but she's still deeply and madly in love with him.
It took straying and finding herself again to figure that out. But, It doesn't matter he moved on!
Just because she saw him for a split second in a bar in NYC and her heart litterly skipped a beat, doesn't mean there's a chance for them.
He probably doesn't even want to talk to her let alone be friends.
She's not sure why he is in New York anyway; last she heard he was back in Lima teaching Glee. That reminds her, she better ask Kurt what that's all about anyway. She's pretty sure he knows.
Kurt might be her best friend but he also happens to be Finn's stepbrother.

"Kurt, can we talk?" She shouted out the moment she entered the apartment. An upbeat singing voice coming from the side of the house told her that he was in the kitchen "Berry! Want coffee?" She shook her head, she wasn't in the mood for coffee, and she needed answers.
"I saw Finn today" She was never one to beat around the bush, and had no intention to start now.
Kurt clearly didn't see that one coming cause he had just spit some of his coffee back in his mug and was looking at her with a confused look.
"Come again? When? Where?" He was firing question at her in rapid speed. "Just about an hour ago in the hells bar over at main street" Kurt's facial expression changed and she knew her best friend well enough to know he was keeping something from her
"So far for keeping his distance" His voice may have been a whisper but she totally heard that and wasn't planning on letting it go.
"What the hell does that mean?" It was right then and there that she realized he definitely knew something. First of all he had guilt written all over his face and second of all Finn was his fucking stepbrother, they told each other practically everything.
"You might want to sit down for this one, Rachel" the seriousness in his voice was kind of freaking her out already but she pulled out a stool and sat down
"I kind of promised Finn I wouldn't say anything but-" Wait, what? Finn made Kurt promise something and Kurt went along with it? Well that's a first
"Rachel, do you want to hear it or not?" Kurt's loud voice snapped her back to reality. Off course she wanted to hear it so she nodded

"Okay, here goes nothing. After you broke up with him Finn went back to Lima. asked him to take over Glee club for a couple of months. Finn thought it would be a good distraction so he accepted. I guess that the experience made him realize his true passion, teaching. So he applied to schools around the country and he got accepted at Julliard and I guess that's why you saw him. He's moving to New York"
Wow, so many thoughts were going through her mind right now. Finn's becoming a teacher? He got accepted to Julliard?
He's moving to New York? What the hell
Why didn't she know about any of this?
"Hhhhe's moving to New York?" Her stuttering didn't hide the fact that she was actually genuinely surprised. "Guess so, yes" She was desperately hoping that her initial feeling of shock didn't show on her face because the last thing she wanted to do was show Kurt that she was upset about this
"When? Was he ever going to let me know?" There were a million questions bugging her brain right now "He's looking for a place to stay and classes start next month. And no, he wasn't on planning on telling you. Hell Rachel, why should he? He doesn't owe you anything. You dumped him, remember?"
Kurt was being painfully honest, like always, but he was right. She was the one who had officially called it quits after the whole Brody incident.
She knew she needed time alone to find herself again. He didn't owe her anything and he probably thought that the city would be big enough to avoid confrontation. That was maybe what hurt the most; he had no intention on telling her he was living in the same city. But she wasn't giving up that easy. They are bound to see each other every now and then.
He's living in New York and it might be a big city, but not that big. And, to top it off she was living with his stepbrother. Surely he wasn't going to ignore him.
"How were the two of you planning on keeping this from me?" She didn't mean to sound so spiteful but she was really hurt by the fact that her best friend would keep that from her.
"Finn said that there were enough places where we could meet without running in to you" Really? Did Kurt actually agree to this?
"And you were more than okay with keeping this from me? I can't believe you Kurt! I thought we were friends" Without thinking she took her coat and stormed out the door. she can't believe that he would do that to her. Both of them for that matter.
Did Finn really not want to have anything to do with her anymore? Where the years they spend together happy and in love just a distant memory for him? A memory he would like to forget?
Well, fine, if that is what he wants than that is what he's going to get.
Rachel Berry would under no circumstance be presence in Finn Hudson's life.
For all she cared he didn't actually move here and was still back in Lima. In fact, she would ask Kurt to make a list of places where they plan to 'hang out' so that she can avoid those places.
That probably meant that Starbucks would be off limits because if she remembered correctly Finn Hudson loved his coffee in the morning. O well, it wasn't morning right now and she could really use a pick me up. So, she picked up her pace and strutted towards Starbucks.

Sitting in the overcrowded café she couldn't help but feel the anger rebuilt in her body.
Who the hell was Finn Hudson to tell her not to go to her favorite places just because he didn't want to see her or be around her? She moved to New York first. It wasn't someone's property and she would be damned if she would let an ex boyfriend drive her away from her favorite places.
"Is this seat taken?" She got brutally ripped out of her thoughts by a familiar voice.
No, it wasn't just a familiar voice she would recognize that voice out of a million different once.
She looked up into the most beautiful brown eyes she had ever seen. It had been a long time since she had seen those and damn, how she had missed those eyes.
"Finn, what are you doing here?" Her mind was working overtime.
Why was he here? Why was he even talking to her? If it was up to him he wouldn't give her the time of day
"I'm guessing you already know that Kurt called me" What, Kurt called him? Well, thanks for nothing she figured.
"So? What do you want? A list of all the places I usually go to with the times and day's I visit them so that you can avoid running into me?" Ha! That should shut him up. She gave him the option. She patiently waited for his answer
"Rachel, do you really have to be so bitter about this?" Huh? Bitter? her? She thought she just gave him what he asked for
"Just trying to accommodate to your needs, Finn. You were the one who wanted to avoid me!" She hoped that the angry tone in her voice would come through, she wasn't planning on letting him get away with it that easy
"Geez,Rach. New York really did change you" What the hell? Was he trying to pick a fight with her or something? He knew that hearing her nickname would get to her. She gave him her stern look.
"Well, maybe you should think twice about moving here then! Wouldn't want the unique Finn Hudson go changing on us or run into his crazy ex girlfriend all the time. That would be like the worst thing in the world, to run into the person that you loved for so long. That would kill you! Wouldn't want that to happen to our precious Finny would we" She was spitting everything at him at rapid speed and she could tell that her words affected him because she saw him burying his face in his hands
"I can't do this, Rachel. This is exactly why I wanted to stay away from you" What the hell did he mean by that? This whole situation doesn't make any sense to her whatsoever.
"What? Why?" Suddenly she watched him stand up and she swore she could see tears in his eyes
"Because it hurts too freaking much" and with those words he ran out the door leaving her speechless. What did that mean? It hurt too much? Does that mean he still cares? Her mind was twirling.
Off course he doesn't care, it just means that the memories of them together still hurt and seeing her would just bring back everything.
Okay, maybe making that list wouldn't be such a bad thing after all. After all she had been the one that hurt him so badly and she felt like she had no right to interfere in his new life here.

So, that's the first chapter. If you made it through the end without cringing at my horrible writing skills would you please be a doll and leave a review then?
Thank you.
Till next time!
