Friday 7.30PM
Rachel was mad out of her head. This week was not her best week. Firstly, Finn and Rachel were fighting over the most pettiest reason at school and now they were both on some sort of silent treatment. Now, she just received a phone call from one of her dads and she was not happy.
"Daddy! You said you both would be coming home tomorrow from your vacation! Now you have a business trip coincidentally in the same country, on that same month?" Rachel shouted into her bedazzled pink phone.
"You promised to be home," her voice lowered, "It's been a month dad. That's the longest you two have been away."
"I know, I know sweetheart. But someone's gotta pay the bills right?" He gave a stifled laugh on the other side of the line but Rachel was not amused.
"Look just a few more weeks and I'll be home in no time." Rachel sighed in defeat. She heard a muffled voice from the telephone and assumed it was her other dad.
"Sweetie I gotta go. Your dad's calling me and it seems important so, I love you." Rachel said her goodbye and held the phone closely to her chest before falling onto her bed, head first.
She loved being alone in the house because it gives her a sense of pride, knowing that her dads trusts her enough to let her stay by herself at home for a long period of time and gives Finn and Rachel some privacy. But she gets lonely very fast and, to be honest, a little scared, knowing her dads aren't in the other room and she was not on good terms with Finn right now.
She rolled over and stared at the painted ceiling. She let out a heavy sigh before calling up Finn.
"Hey Rachel." Finn answered.
"Um, Finn. Look, I'm sorry for being truculent as school the other day when we were sort of fighting. I know those are one of my many many flaws but, I feel really lonely right now." She paused for a while, waiting to see what kind of response he would give her. Just then, she heard the muffled sound of a girl laughing and squealing. Rachel burrowed her eyebrows together.
"What's going on?" She heard a knock on a surface and the laughing stopped.
"Nothing, nothing's going on. Do you want me to come ove-," he paused just as she heard a small item being dropped onto the floor. "Crap."
Rachel had no idea what was going on. "Look Rach, I'll call you back in a sec. OK? Bye." Finn hung up not a second later. Slowly, Rachel put down her phone and felt her insecurity creeped in. She huddled in one corner of her bed and hugged her pillow tightly, as if for dear life.
Finn paused the video on his computer with a smack on the keyboard with one hand and holding his phone in the other. It was a bad timing for Rachel to call.
"Nothing, nothing's going on," he said as he grabbed the ring on the table and toyed with it. "Do you want me to come ove-," he felt the ring slipped out of his hands and rolled onto the floor, disappearing under his bed.
"Crap." he involuntarily said. He made a disgusted face before he laid down on the floor straining his neck to find the ring underneath his bed. He has never, in his entire existence, looked or even touched the floor beneath his bed before.
"Look Rach, I'll call you back in a sec. OK? Bye." Finn hung up and tossed his phone onto the bed as he immediately started to look for the ring. Part of him felt guilty for hanging up on Rachel abruptly but, right now, the ring was more important. Yes, they had been fighting lately but it hasn't changed how Finn felt for Rachel. He still loved her the same, and even more now since he had decided to take it to the next level.
Their fighting was nothing more than a mere passing phase in their relationship. But their silent treatment was too much for Finn to handle and he realized that his life would never be complete without her.
He stretched out an arm underneath the bed to be greeted with a dusty and cold surface. As he hand began searching aimlessly underneath the bed, Kurt walked passed his bedroom, stopping to see his brother laying on the floor ridiculously. He raised an eyebrow.
"In what name of Gucci are you doing on the floor?" He glanced to the computer, where a video was paused. He assumed that it was a proposal video since there was a guy on his knee and one exuberant woman, almost at the point of flailing. Kurt raised his eyebrow in suspicion.
Finn glanced towards his brother, his arm still disappeared under the bed. Just then, Finn's face lighted up like a lightbulb on Christmas day. He pulled his arm out and in his hand, was a ring. It wasn't fancy or anything but it was one that was precious to him since Kurt knew Finn would never even think of looking underneath his bed.
It hit Kurt at that moment that Finn was planning something big- no, huge! Kurt stepped back, pointing a finger at Finn, in some kind of revelation. "Oh my g-" He got cut off when Finn stood up instantly and tried to coed him not to scream.
"No, Kurt. Don't- don't do it" Finn put his hands in front of him, trying to reach out to his brother.
"What- when, does she know?" A thousands of question began to circle Kurt's head.
"No she doesn't. Please, I am begging you not to say anything to her. I have to make this perfect."
"You're proposing?"
Finn made a face that screamed "DUDE-ARE-YOU-KIDDING?"
"What? No! It's a promise ring." He showed Kurt the ring in his hand. "And I've been watching some proposal videos on the net for some idea on how to do this." He pointed to the monitor of his computer, which now went into screensaver mode.
"I am planning on doing it tomorrow and I have to make it up to her since we've been arguing lately."
"Oh my GAGA! This is going to be great!" Kurt started to jump up and down. "I would personally would like to be your wedding planner once you guys," He hugged his brother with a huge grin plastered on his face. "get married!" He walked out, still bubbling from the excitement.
Finn just stood there, unaware of what his brother had just said. "Wait, Kurt, it's- it's just a PROMISE RING!" He shouted towards his direction. He rolled his eyes and looked down at the ring and then gripped his ring that he had been wearing as a necklace, hidden in his shirt for quite some time already. He went back into his room and continued watching the videos, smiling.
