When she woke up she could instantly feel the heat from the sun beaming through the blinds in her NYC apartment. She opened one eye just to close it right away. Then she moved her hand over to the other side of the bed feeling for the man she knew would be there when she woke, but no one was there. She shot out of bed confused. She might have been drunk last night, but she remembered who she went home with.
When she left Lima, Ohio without Finn and her Best Friend Kurt she was completely lonely. Still torn as to what happened between her and Finn. She will never forget that day one minute she was going to get married then the next she was being put on a train by the man she loves and sent off by everyone who has meant everything to her. But Kurt came to NYC just about 3 weeks ago, so shes no longer that lonely anymore. She met a Junior named Brody who she thought was cute, but very conceided, and plus her heart lies with Finn and only Finn.
Still super confused as to where the man she knew was suppose to be there went she slipped out of her bed, toes curling from the cold hardwood floor. She put the sheet over her body trying not to let anything be exposed. She tip toed to the door and could hear a man singing in the shower. She could recognize that voice anywhere with every word she would smile bigger and bigger. She was against the bathroom door her back facing towards it. Head against it, eyes closed and soaking in every word he belted out. She thought it was a dream but it wasn't. Finn was in her shower she thought her smile couldn't get any bigger then he started to sing the word to the song they had sung at nationals. Suddenly the door opened. Not knowing it sill caught up in who was in her shower, The door opened and she fell back into the bathroom. Finn started laughing. and she crossed her arms had a pout on her face, after he finally stopped laughing he reached down and asked
"Are you okay baby?"
Somehow the word baby still cause her to get butterflies in the pitt of her stomach.
"Im fine I just shouldn't have been listening so intently. but let me go get dressed" She then thought to herself 'wow way to cave in and say what you were doing rachel' He reached down and picked her up without a care because she is so tiny. She gasps because she hasn't seen him in so long, that it finally hits her. After all it has been 3 whole months since he put her on a train. Even though she remembers being at the bar last night with her friends and drinking. She remembers him showing up, but somehow after that the memories are a little hazy. She grabs the sheet making sure he doesn't see anymore of her any longer.
He can tell that she uncomfortable, and hes sorry for it. He then walks away and goes down stairs leaving her to get dressed. and him to go make a cup of coffee. He thinks to himself ' I was so stupid for coming her, i can see that shes upset with me. I wish she could completely understand why I did what I did, and that I didn't want to hurt her.'
Back in Rachels room shes sitting on her bed, wrapped in her blanket and Finns t-shirt in her arms and laying down, the door locked because she doesn't want anyone to walk in on her. Then the images from the night before flood her memory
*Flashhhhbackkkk *
Shes at the bar that her best friend Melanie works at. Melanie is another girl who is just like Rachel in many ways, She met her only in her second day at NYADA. When she was sitting at the bar Melanie handed her her favorite drink a pink berry cosmo. Rach calls it the "Rachel Berry" ever since she tried it. Just then rachel felt the presence of a tall muscular man she thought it was Brody for a second and was ready to ask why he was stalking her. Ever since Rachel started at NYADA Bordy has been nothing but crazy obsessed with her in an extremely creepy way. Then when she went to turn around the presence of the man was gone, she looked all around scowering the crowd of people that formed near the stage. She then hears Melanie ask
"Rachel are you okay did you see a ghost? OMG you saw a ghost! " Rachel smiles a little she loves how her friend can be funny sometimes.
"No Mel I didn't see a ghost.. Its no big deal." By this time Rachel had already downed her third drink. You might think she wouldn't be so quick to drink so much, but she has been stressed out lately with Finn in the army and not hearing from him since he put her on the train, Dealing with her school situation. She thought for the night she was going to let loose and push all the troubles and worries she had aside. Just then she hears Melanie at the mic say
"We have someone new here tonight" Just then a tall man dressed in an army uniform gets up on stage. Rachel doesn't pay any attention as she is walking back toward the bathroom. But then she hears the mans voice say
"This goes to someone very speical to me, and im hoping she hears this" Rachel stops thinking to herself 'wow that voice sounds so familiar' Then the voice starts to sing. She knows she drunk, but she is VERY award of her surroundings
Finn - "Highway run into the midnight sun, wheels go round and round your on my mind."
She grabs the mic near her and starts to sing interruping the man shes only ever truly loved.
Rachel- "Restless hearts sleep alone tonight sendin all my love along the wire"
Both -"They say that the road ain't no place to start a family, right down the line it's been you and me. and love and music man ain't always what its suppose to be"
Rachel- "oooh boy you stand my me"
Both -" Im forever yours faithfully"
As the song finishes a smile appears on her face as she remembers the first time they ever sang this song. She looks up at him tears in his eyes and full with love. Rachel gets off the stage first walking through the crowd of people that are cheering them on. When she sees Melanie she sends her a face that says ' youve got some explaining to do' But somehow smiles when she sees Rachels giant smile. Finn follows her confused as to what she is doing. As she sits down she downs another drink. Finn sits next to her. Almost amazed by the fact that she is even drinking, and by how beautiful and sexy she looks. She thens over at him with a smile, but a sense of pain in her eyes. Finn then says
"Hey beautiful" She smiles even more, and swallows hard. Finn gets a little upset when she doesnt say anything for atleast a minute.
"Hi, wanna get out of here?" asks Rachel
"I thought you would never ask" replies Finn
