Pieces Don't Fit Anymore
AN: Now you're not seeing things, I'm back with yet another angst FR fic. Enjoy!
The two times Finn and Rachel broke up and the one time they got back together
Inner Rock Star
It's been a fortnight since the news broke and his whole life shattered around him. She lied to him, to his face, to his mum, to everyone. His whole life, his future, it was all a lie.
Rachel comes to his aide without question, at his doorstep the day after the big reveal.
She's got a fresh batch of cookies she baked and he gulps them, losing his appetite but eating them anyway cause nothing makes sense anymore so why should he?
The tiny brunette rubs circle on his back and he cries onto her shoulder as she coos, soothing him. They fall asleep on his singular bed with her arms draped over his waist.
He awakes to find her dozing off and wonders why she's still around. Their story is messed up, everything messed up, and he's messed up. She still wants him and he desperately wants to her to stop, stop chasing, stop trying to win him over, he needs space. He needs to think.
He need to figure it all out but she doesn't let him. She just storms in with her calendars and calls, their little organised dates and he dozes off in a trance, his body not his own and his mind miles away as she chatters on about a musical or play or whatever.
He has no life in him anymore and the energy the shorter girl brings wears him out.
He starts forgetting their dates, trying to avoid her. They're dating? He doesn't remember deciding that. I guess when Rachel wants something there's no saying no to her.
Mr Shue guides him into the empty hollow auditorium and confides in him about how depressing this whole baby business is, the effect it's had on him.
He learns he needs to live again. He needs to find out who he is. He needs to be on his own.
He blurts it out in the middle of the hallway as she takes his hand to talk.

There's tear tracks sliding down her cheeks and he wants so badly to reach out and wipe them but she's angry and she's yelling at him for being the big jackass he is.
'Inner rock star!' He hears and he tunes most of it out cause he's so caught up in how broken she looks, her harsh words bounce of him. He wishes he could fix her but he has to fix himself first.
She's right; he's a scared little boy. She deserves better. She deserves a real man that's gonna out her first and she finds him in Jesse St Jackass...er James.
