Well this is my sad attempt at a Finchel fanfict. It's my first one so please be nice and review it! I just love them together. They are the perfect couple! Well I felt inspired to write about them after reading all these other fanficts. The song that's gonna be included in this story is Don't Forget by Demi Lovato. I know its cheesebucket to use a song from a Disney star but this song is so perfect that I can picture Rachel thinking about it. There are probably mistakes but enjoy!
AN: I do not in anyway own Glee no matter how much I wish I did. If I did we would have new episodes everyday and they would feature Rachel and Finn heavily! Glee belongs to the genius Ryan Murphy and FOX!
Finn Hudson was confused to say the least. He was actually kinda depressed. He had just broke up with Quinn and was kinda not over her. And then there's Rachel Berry. He found himself somehow dating Rachel. He felt that the relationship was forced. He felt like he had to work even harder to be paying attention to her now that they were dating. He was off his game and he didn't know how to get back on it.
Mr. Shuester had noticed that Finn wasn't the same since babygate. Football season was over now but Finn still wasn't himself. He decided that he need to talk to Finn. Finn didn't have a father figure due to the fact that his dad had died the first time the U.S. invaded Iraq. He was genuinely concerened for Finn. He had gone through a similar experience with his wife Terri so he knew what Finn was going through. He told Finn what he wanted someone to tell him.
"Finn, that guy who made all those bad choices who ignored the signs. He's gone. This new more experienced more interesting guy is here. And I brought you here to introduce him to you. Help you move forward."
"Oh. You mean mean like dating other girls? Cuz I think I'm dating Rachel. At least she sure thinks I am." Finn wondered how that happened.
"No. It's not about meeting someone else. This is about being ok being you. Come on! You're a rock star Finn! You're like Jagger, Morrison.
Finn felt inspired by the Spanish teacher's words. "Yeah. I like that." Finn ended up singing "Hello. I Love You" by The Doors for his glee assignment. He truly felt like a rock star. His confidence was even higher when Britney and Santana were complimenting him. Finn was shocked when they both offered to go on a date with him. All the rock stars dated all the hot girls they could get so he agreed to go out with both of them feeling pretty good about himself until he saw Rachel. He felt guilty about his date with the Cheerios and she asked what Santana and Britney wanted. She knew something was wrong and decided to speak up about it.
"I know being my boyfriend is a challenge. I'm not Quinn. I don't look like her. I'm not popular and my personality though exciting and full of surprises isn't exactly low aintenance but I'll always be honest with you. Painfully so. And all I ask in return is that you're just honest with me." Rachel Berry smiled up at her new boyfriend Finn Hudson. She still couldn't believe that she Rachel Berry - queen of the gleek, loser, bottom of the social heap - was dating Finn Hudson, one of the most popular guys in school. Well he used to be but ever since babygate, things weren't the same for the star quarterback of the football team.
"I don't think I want to be your boyfriend." Finn tried awkwardly to looked anywhere but at Rachel.
"What?" Rachel could feel her world crumbling around her at Finn's words. Yes she'd known that they had rushed into things. Things with Quinn and the whole baby scandal weren't a thing of the past. It had only been a week since Rachel told Finn that he wasn't the father of Quinn's unborn baby but that his ex-best friend Puck, was the father. Naturally she assumed that he might need time to sort things out and come to term with the losses but she never expected Finn to break up with her. She thought she was going to be there for Finn and they - together - were going to move on. But nothing could have prepared Rachel for the reason of their separation.
"Rachel you're really awesome but I think I need to connect with my inner rock star before I can fully commit to one woman. I need to find out who I am now."
Rachel was livid but she was hurting more. She never though Finn would sink so low. So that's why he was talking to Britney and Santana. He wanted to play the field. He wanted to be popular again. She knew everything he's been through with Quinn had hurt him and that people - Azimeo and Karofsky mainly - were saying hurtful things about Finn behind his back. Things like he wasn't a real man and that he need a real man - Puck - to impregnate his girlfriend. She tried to compose herself. She would try to not show weakness. Not in front of the boy who repeataly broke her heart. She muster all the courage to tell Finn and not cry, exactly why he was breaking up her. "I'll tell you who you are. You're a scared little boy. You're afraid of dating me because you think it might hurt your reputation though which you would never admit is very important to you. You hate what Quinn did to you not just because it hurt but because it was so humiliating."
"You're freaking me out. It's like your inside my head right now." He was panicking. He could see the tears in her eyes and that freaked him out more. He wasn't good with tears. He wanted to comfort her because she was Rachel and he did feel bad about everything. But he was still confused because he kinda believed the rumor that was going around that Rachel had a sixth sense. Maybe she really was in his head and the tears was a way to throw him for a loop.
"I just see you for who you are. Unlike you who can only see me as this silly girl who made a fool of herself at her first Glee Club rehearsal. And that's where you lose Finn." Rachel was cracking. She could feel all her emotion rising to the surface but she wasn't going to leave until she made sure that she told Finn exactly what he was losing. "Because if you take a second look at me you'd realize that I'm the only person in your life who knows you and accepts you for who you are. No matter what."
Rachel was laying on her bed moping around after school replaying the conversation with Finn over and over again in her head. Today was a disaster she though to herself. Not only did Finn break up with her but she also humiliated herself by basically announcing the news to the whole Glee Club when she sang "Gives You Hell." Sure it was fun to sing at the time because that was the only thing she could think of doing while he was going on and on about Hawaiian pizza with his new best friends Britney and Santana. It drove her crazy! She knew he didn't even really like Britney and Santana!S he was so frustrated and angry that she just decided to go to bed early. She didn't even post her daily Myspace video. She just didn't have it in her today.
The next morning she woke up at 6 am like every morning but stayed in bed. She still felt heartbroken over her break up with Finn. She decided that she was not going to waste her time moping over a boy who didn't appreciate her. So she got up, drank her protien shake with banana and flaxid oil and jumped on her elliptical. She changed and went to go eat her healthy vegan breakfast and headed to the library in search for the perfect Hello song for this week's Glee assignment. She was looking around and picked up "The Very Best of Lionel Richie" when someone pushed the book down. Rachel found herself looking a boy around with brown wavy hair and brown eyes. Rachel decided that he was very good looking.
"Lionel Richie huh? One of my favorites." The boy with the brown hair said.
When she looked closer realization dawned on her. " Oh my god. You're Jesse St. James. You're in Vocal Adrenaline."
Jesse didn't looked surprised that she knew who he was. "And you're Rachel Berry. I saw you preform at Sectionals. Your rendition of Don't Rain On My Parade was flawed. You totally lacked Barbara's emotional depth." She's kinda pretty Jesse though to himself as he smiled at her. " But you're talented."
Ohhhhhh! Jesse is here to shake things up! What will happen and will the story be like the episode? Please review to see if I should continue the story. I promise this isn't just going to be the same as the episode! Things are gonna get interesting!
I'm like Tinkerbell! I need review to live!
