Story: Set towards the end of 4X09 (Swan Song) – Rachel's thoughts regarding Finn and Brody. Finchel, not Brochel.
Rachel wants so badly to focus on being happy for Kurt getting into NYADA. But she confesses she's relieved when he disappears off into his room to call Blaine with the good news.
Taking a seat at the kitchen counter, she re-reads Brody's text.
You were awesome tonight. Xx
Brody doesn't normally do kisses, and Rachel already wants to put her head in her hands. Why, why did she kiss him? Yes, she's attracted to him, no doubt about that, but between his constant compliments on her appearance, and sleeping with Cassie…something isn't quite right.
And then there's Finn.
It felt so natural to call him, to talk to him, to hear his voice tonight. Rachel isn't sure what that means. Maybe it means he is her soulmate. She still believes that is true. And maybe it doesn't, maybe it's just because they know each other so well.
She still wants to marry him.
It's odd, and she doesn't know if she'd ever admit it to Finn, because him putting her on that train to New York, alone, was still so awful, and she still feels angry just thinking about it. But…at the same time, the distance has made her feel good about the possibility of them reuniting. Maybe they both need to grow.
The urge fills her to redial Finn's number, and have a long, heart to heart talk with him about everything. Tell him she misses him, and that nothing will happen between her and Brody.
She forces herself to switch off her phone, and walks to her room.
Only time will tell.
