Do you ever feel, like a plastic bag drifting through the wind wanting to start again?

Rachel sighed as she cleaned slushie out of her hair. IT was the third time this week and it wasn't even grape. Rachel had thought that maybe the whole slushie-facial thing would die down. But ever since she and Finn broke up they've only gotten worse. I mean it makes since, since Finn became quarterback again and all. But still, Rachel liked to think the absence weekly slushie-spa day was because she was gaining more popularity. Besides, she was her own person without Finn. Always has been, always will be. Unfortunately, the football team didn't feel that way. Throwing her paper towels away, Rachel slung her bag over her shoulder and trudged out of the bathroom. At least Glee was today. Sure she'd have to sit through a whole hour of trying not to gaze at Finn. But at least she'd get to sing. And that was what Rachel Berry lived for.

Do you ever feel so paper thin, like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?

Finn laughed as Sam filled him in on his eventful weekend. This dude was awesome. He won a burrito-eating contest and apparently when Quinn found out she didn't puke. Instead, she congratulated him. If Finn ever did that and told Quinn, the only thing that would've been coming out of her mouth was chunks from her breakfast. Finn turned to walk away when he spotted Rachel hurrying toward the choir room. As mad as he was seeing her made him want to die. The fact that he was hurt went out the door and all he could think about was her. How much he had hurt her. One look made him feel like collapsing. He couldn't let the whole make-out thing with Puck slide, but he loved her. A lot. And when you love someone you forgive them no matter what. Oh god. That's what Rachel was doing when she got him his Christmas present. She had forgiven him and was asking for forgiveness back. And he was too stupid to see it. Now he screwed everything up big time. She hadn't looked at him in weeks, at least not with the same adoration that she used to. Finn's eyes followed Rachel as she went into the choir room.

"I have to fix this." Finn thought to himself.

Do you ever feel, already buried deep, six feet under scream, no one can hear a thing?

"Alright guys, from the top." Mr. Schuster encouraged the Glee Club. They were starting to prepare for Regionals and moral was low. Rachel was out of it which meant everyone else was depressed. Because if their star singer was out of it. They were toast.

Rachel slumped back into her chair. Glee Club was supposed to be the best part of her day. Well, it turned out to be the opposite. First, she got there and realized that Finn wasn't there. That should've been a good thing. Except he came in 10 minutes late and of course made a big scene. And then the only seat open was the one right next to hers. So of course he sat down there. Then she found out that Finn and she had to sing the duet for regionals. But obviously Mr. Schu wanted them to suffer because the song they had to sing was "Where Do We Go From Here?" by Stacy Lattisaw and Johnny Gill. When Rachel heard that she wanted to scream. But instead she kept quiet. If she voiced her disapproval, her teammates would accuse her of being selfish and not taking one for the team. Fortunately, when Mr. Schu was about to ask Finn and Rachel to sing it was time to leave. Rachel quietly gathered her things and walked out of the room returning Puck's smile as she left. She put on a showface and made it seem like she was alright. When really, all she wanted to do was curl up on her bed and yell/cry because of the unfortunate Glee rehearsal.

Do you know there's still a chance for you, cause there's a spark in you

When Finn heard the duet he and Rachel were singing, he couldn't help but be excited. This was the perfect way for them to get back together. Then he glanced over at Rachel and saw that she wasn't making a sound. Usually Rachel would protest something like this. She would go on how it was unfair that she had to sing and blah blah blah. But, she was strangely quiet. Finn knew Rachel and he knew something was wrong. Maybe she didn't want to get back together. Maybe, after he rejected her Christmas present and left her at the tree lot, she had gotten over him. When Glee was finished he noticed how she picked her things up without a care in the world. Like everything in her life was alright. But then Puck smiled at her. It wasn't weird or anything cause Finn had a feeling Puck might still like her. The weird thing was, Rachel smiled back.

"That's it!" Finn muttered to himself. "Puck is...screwing Rachel on a regular basis!" That must be it! When Rachel was trying to get him back, she wouldn't even glance in Puck's direction. But now, now she was smiling at him! And he was smiling back. And that wasn't just any smile. That was his I'm fucking you smile. But Finn wasn't going to let it slide that easy. As long as he and Rachel had to sing together he still had a chance. And he was willing to fight for that chance.
