Rachel awoke gasping for air. She knew it was just a nightmare but it seemed so real. She walked into her hotel bathroom deciding she needed a drink of water before she could calm down. Anytime she would get upset, she would always be thirsty. This was one of those moments. As she wiped her bangs from her forehead, she saw her engagement ring glimmer in the light. Before she could stop herself, she began sobbing. She should not be sitting in a hotel room bathroom with her dads looking at dorms for NYADA; she should be in Niagara Falls on her Honeymoon! She should no longer be Rachel Berry; she should be Mrs. Finn Hudson! She still could not believe that her perfect world had come crashing down on her when Finn had taken her to catch the 4:25 train to New York.
When she finally stopped crying, she decided she needed to get some sleep before she went out in the morning to begin planning her new future. The alarm clock on the bed stand read 3:18 a.m. She checked her phone knowing there wouldn't be a text since all her friends were out celebrating their graduation. I should be with them not here in New York! she thought to herself. The wall paper on her phone was a picture of her and Finn that had been taken right after they graduated. She could feel the tears coming, but she could not make herself look away from his face. As she began to fade in and out of consciousness, she whispered into the darkness, "I love you so much Finn. You are my everything. Without you, I am lost."
Finn sat in a corner staring off into space. Everyone was partying and enjoying themselves and yet he was completely miserable. He kept checking his phone even though he knew it was no use. He hadn't told her to text him when she got to New York and he was probably the last person she wanted to talk to but he felt completely empty without her sitting next to him. He was so absorbed in his own world that he didn't even notice someone had come up and was sitting next to him until he felt them touch his shoulder. He quickly wiped away tears and looked to see Santana Lopez sitting next to him. She put her arm over his shoulder and he couldn't help it, he finally broke down and cried while she held him. Once the crying stopped, she spoke softly which was not usual for her,
"Finn, I owe you so much because you helped me make it through everyone finding out about Britt and I. I decided not to go to that school for Cheerleading. I want to go to New York and…"
At the mention of New York, he felt his heart start to break even more. Santana didn't seem to notice and continued on,
"I'll go live with Rach and keep an eye on her for you. Pretty sure no one would dare hurt her with Snixx and I watching out for her. I'll call her tomorrow and tell her the news if you think it's a good idea."
Finn had to laugh a bit. Snixx was Santana's supposed split personality that came out whenever she was angry. He had experienced the wrath of Snixx a few times and knew no one wanted to mess with it. He knew Santana and Rachel had not always gotten along but then this way the big city wouldn't be so lonely for either of them. He nodded his head and whispered, "Thank-you Santana. I wish so badly it was me, but I know you will keep her safe for me while I'm away."
Santana smiled and gave him a quick hug before returning to the dance floor with Brittney. Finn sat alone for the rest of the night before Kurt finally came to rescue him from his misery.
