Hey guys , new story ! I wasn't happy with the other story I just

posted so I decided to write this one.

Enjoy!

Chapter 1- Mixed Emotions

"Finn, please don't leave." She said nervously as she grabbed his hand.

"Rachel , stop worrying. I'll be fine. I'll be home in 6 months." He

assured her. Truth is, he was scared too. He was scared out of his

mind. But it was something he felt he had to do , something so he

could feel close to his father for once in his life. "I have to leave

Rach. I'll call you when I get there." He said sadly as he picked up

his bag from the ground and placed the strap over his shoulder. "I

love you, more than you could ever know. Don't ever

forget that."

"Finn, please don't go, don't leave me here alone." She pleaded ,

tears starting to stream down her face.

"I'm sorry Rach. I love you." He pulled her in for a kiss. "I love you

too." She said as she cried harder slowly letting go of his hand. "So

much."

She watched as he walked away from her heading for the security area.

Her cries became sobs as she fell to her knees aware that people were

starting to stare. She didn't care, she was so scared. Scared that

something would go wrong. Scared that this would be the last time she

saw him. She wanted Finn to turn around and run back to her saying

he'd forget about going to war and stay and be with her instead. But,

she knew that wasn't possible. She watched as he turned to look at her

one last time before he left to go risk his life. "I love you to the

moon and back, Rach." He mouthed. "I love you from here to eternity,

Finn." She mouthed back.

She stayed at the airport for hours until his plane took off , just to

make sure he got into the air safely. She wiped the last of her tears

from her face as she walked to her car. She got in and turned on the

engine. Putting her purse down she saw an envelope with a tiny box

taped to the front of it sitting on the passenger seat with her name

written on the front.

It was from Finn. She smiled as she opened it. There was a letter in

there. On the front it said read before opening the box. She slipped

the letter out of the envelope and unfolded it.

Rachel,

I've known you since sophomore year. Now 6 years later we're 22 and

still in love. I always tell you how much you mean to me but you never

really will know how much I love you. Words can't express how I feel

about you. I guess what I want to say is I want to be with you for the

rest of my life. So, open the box.

-Finn

Her heart pounded faster as her tiny fingers struggled to open the

box. Once she finally pried the box open she gasped.

Inside was a note.

It said "Rachel I want to be with you for the rest of my life. When I

get back ... Will you marry me?"

She looked at the ring that laid nestled inside the box. It was

beautiful. It was a square cut diamond with other smaller diamonds

incrusted on the silver band. She slipped it on her finger and admired

it. More tears started to come out if her big brown eyes. Only this

time they weren't from sadness, but of pure joy.

In 6 months she would be the new Mrs. Rachel Barbra Hudson.

So I wasn't so sure I liked the story I began writing, Rachel's Love

Life, so I decided to write this one. I'm going to be updating this

one very frequently. Please Review , it means a lot and it encourages

me to write faster ;P. Haha , so anyway I hope you enjoyed it ! (:

Thanks for reading !
