With Or Without you
Summary: After 8 years of no contact, what happens when Finn finds himself in New York and meets Rachel again. Will old feelings ignite or will it be more trouble ahead for Finchel.
Chapter 1:where we are now
Walking around New York gave Finn goose bumps as he couldn't believe he was there. Everything reminded him of Rachel, the big tall buildings, the nosey sounds of cabs going by. Shaking his head he couldn't think of Rachel right now, he had a big job interview for a teaching job in a high school. He was super excited.
Finn after his year helping Mr. Shue and the Glee club went to Ohio College for 4 years before getting his teaching degree before getting a job in Cleveland. After 4 years teaching in Cleveland he got offered a job in New York. Finn didn't really know what impressed this high school, maybe it was his record of winning many sectionals titles with the glee club in Cleveland.
As he walked down the street he got closer to the building he had his interview in, his palms were sweating and he was starting to get nervous. He knew he just had to give it his all and he would have a massive chance. He just hoped he do something he always wanted to achieve and that was to not be a Lima Loser. He got to the building and walked inside taking a seat as the receptionist told Finn to wait to be called. He looked around the room and saw the people he would be competing against to get the job. With a sigh he loosens his tie a little. He hates ties but Kurt told him to drop by his place before he came to make him look 'smart'. Finn appreciated Kurt's help and honestly he was happy to see his brother again who was living with his Fiancee Blaine.
Rachel sighs as she fiddles with her keys trying to get into her large apartment in central New York city. She goes inside and sits down her bag. She had just finished rehearsals for the day and sighs as she could see Jesse left her a note. Gone to a meeting talk to you later, Jesse xx. As she reads it she smiles a little to herself. She had been with Jesse for 3 years now and got engaged a year ago. You think she was living the dream but she was not.
Since she got engaged to Jesse he had become more aggressive and would snap very easily at Rachel. Rachel thought nothing of it first, she thought he was stressed but it soon turned physical and she had been on edge since. In her first year of college she got offered the lead role of Funny girl and she had been in that ever since. She loved being on Broadway and it was always good to get away from Jesse when he was having a 'difficult day' and would take everything out on her.
As she makes her way to the couch she turns on TV and lays back before looking at her iPhone. She sighs. No missed calls, no text messages nothing. Ever since she got with Jesse she had lost contact with everyone even Kurt. He claimed that Jesse changed her for the worst. She told him that he was wrong and of course took the side of Jesse as she feared him. She then looks through her iPhone bored and sees the last picture she had of her and Finn and trailed a finger on her screen and smiled when she say his face. They haven't talked in almost 8 years and she missed him and wondered where he was now.
Finn fiddled with his iPhone as he got lots of good luck messages from his mom and Burt. He smiled softly to himself before he bit his lip looking at the guys he was competing against. They all looked like the typical teacher type and knew himself that they had more qualifications then him but he couldn't give up. He was a fighter. He then looked at the magazines in front of him and saw a familiar face.
He gasps as he saw Rachel, he knew she was a big time Broadway actress. He then looked closely and read the article which was about how she was dating her co-star Jesse St. James. As he read that name his blood boiled. He sighs and felt his heart break a little. He totally wasn't over Rachel, not one bit but he was happy she was living her dream even if it was with Jesse. He knew that if she was with him he would hold her back. He then looked at the picture closely and smiled at how beautiful she looked. She looked even better then before which he thought wasn't possible.
He was getting lost in the picture before he heard his name being called. "Finn Hudson...?"
