As the Glee club settled into the classroom waiting for Mr. Shue and the rest of the students. Rachel sat there playing with her hair; not paying attention to what stylist Kurt and Mercedes were going on about. When Finn walked in holding hands with McKinley's newest Student.
So it is true Finn is dating Samantha well it makes since she is really pretty. I'm impressed she is a good choice way better then when he was thinking of dating Quinn. She's probably a really nice girl but does she know him like I do? There is no way she can love him the way I do. Hopefully he doesn't love her the way he use to love me.
Kurt turned and saw what had Rachel's attention. Motioning towards the couple so Mercedes could know what was going through Rachel's head.
"Rachel are you ok?" Kurt asked concerned.
"I'm fine I'm over him it's just still hard to walk away" Rachel replied honestly.
"Well his loss but maybe it's a sign meaning that you and him should just stay apart" Kurt said.
"I know you're probably right, but I have questions about her like does she know every thing I know about him. I just want answers. I just want to be able to be with a new guy and not think about how when I was with Finn we would go here and he would buy me this or kiss me here." Rachel said at the brink of tears.
Mr. Shue finally walked in finally ten minutes late like always.
"This week is about finding the answers to solving a problem or to a question you have longed to ask" He told the class.
Kurt then face palmed himself hoping Rachel didn't do something stupid.
"Mr. Shue may I go first." Rachel asked not even waiting for an answer before she got up.
Nobody even looked up they were use to her always volunteering herself to sing.
As Rachel got ready to sing she looked right into Finn's eyes so he would know this was for him.
"I'm gonna remember you, you're gonna remember me" she sang.
She let the music play a little. Then she started again.
"I saw you with your new girl just yesterday
And I feel that I must confess
Even though it kills me to have to say
I'll admit that I was impressed.
Physically just short of perfection
Gotta commend you on your selection
Though I know I shouldn't be concerned
In the back of my mind I can't help but question"
That when everyone looked up and some looking towards Finn all curious to see what would happen next.
As Finn just sat there staring at her curiously while Samantha glared at him obviously confused as she had not heard of their history.
As Rachel kept on
"Does she rub your feet when you've had a long day?
Scratch your scalp when you take out your braids?
Does she know that you like to play PS2?
Till 6 in the morning like I do?"
Finn thought of the answers while she kept going.
She did always offer after Football practice to rub my feet.
I don't have braids. Everyone knows I love playing PS2
But only she knows that I stay up till 6 because she would always text me Goodnight at 6am when she woke up.
"I can't explain this feeling
I think about it everyday
And even though we've moved on
It gets so hard to walk away" Rachel sang getting teary eyed.
Finn knew what she meant he would sometimes have a hard time not kissing her when she was around him being all Rachel like.
"I'm going to remember you
You're going to remember me
(Forever you will live in my memory)
I'm gonna remember you
Your gonna remember me
(I can't forget the way it use to be)" She continued.
As she kept singing Finn tried to look anywhere but at her he didn't want he to know how
the song was affecting him. He wanted to leave but he also wanted to stay and grab her and tell her he feels the same way. But then he looks next to him at his girlfriend Samantha and realizes he didn't choose Rachel because Rachel broke his heart and he broke hers. He sitting there confused and trying to think when he looks up at Rachel to see she's staring at him with tear filled eyes.
"Im gonna remember you, you gonna remember me
The thing we did, the way we shared our fantasies
Just you and me, my friend, my love my family
How did we lose a love that seemed meant to be?"
He thought back to how he thought he was going to marry Rachel and they would move to New York because he wanted her dreams to come true.
"So hard to express this feeling
Cause nobody compares to you
And you know she'll never love you like I do".
Just then Samantha looks up at Finn "Who is she talking about?" She aked him.
He didn't really want to answer so he looked away hoping she would think he didn't hear her.
Finally Rachel Wrapped it up. At least to Finn it seemed like she had been singing for an hour.
"Walk away
(I'm gonna remember you)
You gonna remember me)
Walk away, Walk away"
Rachel just stood there looking at the floor as everyone clapped looking back and forth from Rachel to Finn everyone knew what the song meant except Samantha and Brittany but Brittany was to busy looking through he pictures of her cat on her phone.
Rachel went to go sit down as the rest of the class went on.
When the bell rang and everyone ran out Rachel stayed behind wishing to talk to Finn.
"That was obvious he knew what you were saying so if he plays dumb then hes not worth it okay" Kurt told Rachel while patting her on the back before he got up to go.
Finn and Samantha then past Rachel to exit the class not even looking her way Rachel almost starting crying right there, as she left the class she saw Finn waiting outside the Girls Bathroom she looked up at him from across the hallway and saw him staring back at her. As he started walking towards her she did the same the whole way they both thought of the past and all there good memories with each other. When they finally met up in the middle they waited a couple seconds each waiting for the other to speak first.
Finn finally spoke up after what seemed like forever.
"Rachel um, Nice song" He stated lamely scratching the back of his head.
"Thanks Finn" She said hurt remembering Kurt's words.
"Rachel you know a lot about me. I do love you so you know." He told her as he looked towards his feet.
"You say that but I am not your girlfriend she is." Rachel whispered.
"Rachel you know why we aren't together but you know I still love you and I always will" He said.
He then gripped her chin raising it to face him. As he looked down and leaned into her getting ready to kiss her plump lips.
She stopped him dead in his tracks "You know what Finn STOP making me feel like we have a chance especially while you are with another girl. I love you and I always will, but I'm moving on because I know I did you wrong but it wasn't just me that failed when it came to this relationship" She said finally getting it off her chest. She then turned around and did one of her famous Rachel Berry storm outs. As she looked back she saw Finn arm wrapped around Samantha's shoulders and him looking back at her.
When she finally got to the parking lot she saw Kurt waiting for her.
"Hey honey how did it go" pulling Rachel into a hug "You want to go get some Ben & Jerry's?" Kurt asked concerned.
"You know what Kurt why don't you give me a make over I feel like going out tonight. " She said smiling.
"Really" Kurt said. Getting perked up he then starting going on and on about hair styles that are in and what color she would look absolutely perfect in. As the made there way to his car to go shopping she thought I'm ready.
A/N Just something I couldn't get out of my head.
Song by Paula Deanda called Walk Away.
