A/N: Hey guys! So my parents decided to hog the TV and watch Stephen King, so instead of wishing for singing and dancing dead bodies, I went into my room and write. One hour late, I came out with TWO one-shots, one in Finn's POV before their performance, and the next chapter in Rachel's POV on the way back from the competition.
It is un-beta'ed do I apologize for any typos.
Enjoy!
Chapter One (Before): All That's Known
I'm not the smartest person, I know that. Sometimes, okay, all the time, I accidentally day or do things I don't man, or I sound or act just plain stupid. Sometimes I feel like such a girl, letting my emotions get to me, and letting it control what I do or say. There are times where acting on my emotions have either ended badly (Baby Gate) or people (Quinn) telling me that I am stupid and just go on with their lives. This time though, this time it feels right, letting my emotions take control, letting my heart take control of me, because I have this feeling that for once, it will all work out just fine.
It was always there, every time we sang, hang out, or just even when we are in class together. I know it was stupid of me to break it off with Rachel so quickly in, but I let my insecurities, my brain to take control, and that is a step back from the person I have become.
She has changed me. From that first Glee rehearsal, her fawning over me and going on this crazy ride of emotions together, we've been through a lot; Puck, Quinn, Jesse, Brittany, Santana, all of them were just obstacles, and I made it through all of them. I know I'm not the smartest person, and I know I screwed up. But I am here now, a changed man, ready to take whatever challenges may come, with her always by my side.
As we wait to sing by doors, straightening my tie, she turns to me with that smile of hers and walks up to me.
"Break a leg."
It feels right. All this madness, everything that has happened with us, has come to right here, right now. My heart knows, and tells me to take that risk.
"I love you."
