I DO NOT OWN GLEE OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS THOSE BELONG TO THE WRITERS OF GLEE.
I AM SIMPLY WRITING WHAT I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO SEEN HAPPEN ON THE SHOW. #FINCHELISFOREVER
This idea started off as a one-shot story but if it's get good reviews, I will continue and make it into a full story. Just make sure you leave your comments, suggestions and opinions so I know if you want this into a story or leave as be.
FINN'S POV
This was the hardest breakup either of them experienced. He didn't know what he was thinking telling her that he was joining the Army when he knew that he didn't but he knew that was the only way she wouldn't stay and waste her potential. Finn knew that Rachel was a star and her talent was better than this town and even him. She always spent her time trying to make him understand that he was everything to her but he wouldn't hear it. He always felt like a Lima loser and Rachel was a New York star. He thought he was doing the right thing in letting her go...on her own without him because he loved her that much. He loved her enough to be unhappy without her as long as she followed her dream. He could never live with himself knowing that he was the reason that Rachel was in Lima even if it was just a year, she didn't even know if he would ever get accepted anywhere in New York and he didn't want to risk that.
He had informed everyone of the Glee club of his plan of setting Rachel free at the train station instead of getting married. They didn't understand why he was doing this but when he explained that it was best for Rachel to go to New York without him, they understood. They just wished that Finn would stop being so hardheaded and go with her. They also wanted to be with him when he had to tell her bye because they knew that it was going to be the hardest moment for him as well. When he saw her crying, he almost broke down and told her the truth. He hated more than anything to see Rachel cry but he had to be strong for her. If he told her that he really didn't join the Army but decided to stay back in Lima while doing nothing so she could go to New York, she wouldn't let him do that. He knew Rachel and he knew if she knew the truth, she wouldn't leave him. He had to do what was best for her and give her the push to start her dreams now, not in a year or even two. Nothing should hold her back, not even him. He loved her way too much. When he got her suitcase out of the truck and opened the door for her, he just couldn't believe what he was doing. But when he went to the train and saw everyone from the Glee club there, he was thankful to have them for support. He swore them to secrecy that they wouldn't tell Rachel the truth.
RACHEL'S POV
Rachel didn't understand what was going on. She was so confused when she saw that he bought her to train station. When he started speaking, she just could tell that this wasn't going to be a good conversation. She didn't understand why he didn't want to marry her but to send her off to New York alone. Why couldn't he just go with her and realize his dreams while they were living together in New York. All she wanted was to be married to the man of her dreams but here he was breaking up with her. She didn't want to go without him and she wasn't going to. Wait, he enrolled in the Army so she wouldn't follow him? He was really trying to get away from her that badly? She would do anything in this world for Finn. She told him that her home wasn't some place like New York but someone, him. Why would he do this to her? He thinks that I can be a star without him, is he crazy? She can be the biggest star with him because than she knows that he will help drive her to be the best. All she ever wanted was to feel loved and to feel a part of something and Finn was the one to help her with that. Now, he is sending her off to be alone in a big city. She was just the small town girl like Finn would sing to her when they were alone. She just flashed back to their time alone. She remembered their first official date, he picked her up to take her out to eat. But, before they even arrived at the restaurant, he sang her a song. He sang her the song, "Make you feel my love" and she cried right after he sang that song to her. How did he go from singing those songs to now breaking up with her? She just couldn't wrap her head around it. When she got out of the truck, she wasn't even going to get out. She was going to tell him that she didn't care if he wasn't going to be in Lima and going to basic training, she would wait for him. She didn't want to be without him. But, she thought that maybe Finn didn't love her as much as he said or acted like he did. So she got out of the truck when he opened the door for her. She just couldn't stop crying at that point. He grabbed her hand and led her to the train station when she saw everyone at the Glee club waiting for them to get there. The Glee club knew she was leaving and she didn't know that he was going to break up with her but everyone else knew? When she got there, she gave each one of them hug before she left. She had to make sure that she gave Mr. Schue the biggest hug because if it wasn't for him, none of this would have been possible. He wouldn't have taught her how to reach out of her comfort zone and sing different kinds of music. She couldn't let go of Finn's hand but this is what he wanted so she was going to do what he wanted. She got to her seat and looked back to see Finn just staring at her while everyone else waved goodbye including Puck who seemed to give her a heart sign to his chest. The last thing he saw was Finn turn around and got the biggest hug from Mr. Schue. She thought he was crying but she couldn't be sure.
She couldn't look any longer so she turned around and thought of what she was going to do next.
FINN'S POV
Finn couldn't believe this was happening. He didn't want to let go of her hand but he had to. When he saw her take her seat, he just wanted to get on the train and join her in New York but he had to stay strong. He had to do this for Rachel. He saw her eyes turning red from all the crying she had been doing in this past few minutes and he couldn't take it anymore so he had to turn around. He broke down in tears so Mr. Schue grabbed him for the biggest hug. He couldn't imagine his life without her but he had to. He had to keep telling himself that she was better than this town and she shouldn't be stuck to Lima even if it was for a year. She could reach for the stars and more and she wasn't going to do that wasting time here trying to help him figure out what he wanted to do. He let go of Mr. Schue.
"I can't do this. I have to get her back. I can't let her go. I shouldn't have lied to her, Mr. Schue." Finn said. He heard the train leave but he couldn't get the nerve to turn around to see it take off. Hearing it leave was bad enough. "I have to go get her. I have to meet the train in New York or at the next stop. I should call her and tell her to get off the train."
He grabbed his phone to call her when he saw a missed call and a voicemail from Rachel.
"I got a voicemail from Rach." Finn said. Everyone looked at him confused. He called his voicemail and placed it on speaker. If it was something bad, he wanted everyone to hear so they could help him.
"Finn, I don't know why you're doing this but I love you. I guess this means goodbye even though I never thought we would say goodbye. You know what, I can't do this without you. What am I doing on this train? I can't go to New York without you. I don't care if you're joining the Army, I will go where you go. I need to get off this train. Excuse me, Miss. Can I please get off the train? What do you mean, you closed the doors? You need to open the doors! I'm not leaving on this train, I need to tell the man I love that I love him! Let me off the train..." The call got cut.
Finn started tearing up. He wished that she would've gotten off the train. "Do you think she got off the train?" Finn asked his friends. Before, he could turn around, he heard the 5 most beautiful words he could ever hear besides when she told him that she loved him.
"I got off the train."
When he and the rest of the Glee club turned around, they saw Rachel standing there with her suitcase.
I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED FRIENDS AND I LOVE GLEE. I AM PLANNING ON DOING A CROSS OVER WITH THESE TWO SHOWS. BUT TONIGHT, WHEN I SAW THE SERIES FINALE WITH RACHEL AND ROSS ABOUT HER GETTING ON THE PLANE AND LEAVING TO PARIS AND ROSS TOLD HER THAT HE LOVED HER BUT SHE STILL GOT ON THE PLANE, ONLY TO GET OFF. (IF YOU HAVE SEEN THE FINALE, YOU WILL KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT, IF NOT LOOK IT UP. I CRIED AT THE PART WHERE RACHEL REVEALS SHE GOT OFF THE PLANE) I THOUGHT THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN PERFECT FOR FINN AND RACHEL, THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO SEE...SO LEAVE COMMENTS IF YOU LIKE IT AND IF I GET SOME GREAT REVIEWS, I'LL CONTINUE...AND MAKE IT A STORY...NOT JUST A ONE SHOT STORY.
