The Reason

They were finally together. Right where they belonged. In each other's arms.

So why did she feel so scared?

After a really hard year, they were ready to spend their summer together, their senior year together. Maybe even the rest of their lives.

Or were they?

After their epic kiss at Nationals and their little moment at the library, they both seemed really happy, but Rachel was having her doubts. I mean, after everything that happened, we couldn't blame her. Finn had hurt her and broke her hearts so many times she felt insecure, unwanted and scared.

*Rachels POV*

Sometimes I feel like I wanna take a long sleep and wake up just to see If everything is still here. I can't believe, even though I really want to, the fact that Finn really wants me again.. and I feel so insecure.

He didn't want me when I was begging him to forgive me, even though he never did when I found out about Santana. He even checked her out when I was watching, it hurt so badly, it still does, and then he came back with Quinn, so why now? Why does he want me again? Is this some stupid joke so he can laugh with some of his jock friends and his pretty blonde cheerleader? But then, oh he has to come kiss me and make me feel like everything's right in the world again.

I just, I think I should have waited more to come back to him.. but then he looks at me with those eyes, those sweet eyes and makes me lose it. I really, really want to give him a chance, but I also don't think I can handle a broken heart again, and for now, nothing assures me that's not gonna happen again.

So I guess I'll just have to tell him that and he'll have to prove all these things to me. We'll see.

*End of Rachel's POV*

"Where are we going?"

"Final glee club meeting of the year!" -she said as she took his hand, leading him to the choir room.

When the meeting had finished and everyone were heading home or to the mall, he touched her shoulder softly and asker her:

"Hey, do you want to, you know, hang out after this?"

"Umm, sure, I guess" -and as she said this she tried to put on her best fake smile.

"Is something up Rach?" -he said confused and a little sad.

"No, no, I'm fine… just.. let's get out of here, kay?"

"Kay.." –and he grabbed her hand, until she gently pulled it away.

"I just wanna be sure it's real this time" –she said in a whisper, like telling it to herself.
