Rachel collapsed onto her bed, burying her face into a pillow. She ran her fingers through her deliciously smelling her with frustration.
She lifted her head up two minutes later, groaning at the sight of mascara stains on her pillows. She wiped her eyes and propped herself up in bed.
Had Finn really just told her that he didn't want to marry her after all? Not only that, had he just announced it in front of his and her parents?
As if it wasn't humiliating enough, already.
She knew it had been too good to be true. She had to pinch herself every single day to remind herself that she was engaged to the love of her life, and that he loved her more than anyone or anything else in the world.
Reaching across her night stand, she took a Kleenex from its box and tried to clean up her face. Her eyes were puffy, her nose was raw and her whole face was blotchy and mascara stained.
Rachel toyed with the idea of checking her cell phone.
After 30 seconds of deliberation, she plucked up the courage to see if Finn had attempted to make any sort of contact with her.
7 missed calls and 3 text messages from Finn, 2 missed calls and a text from Kurt.
Not feeling up to reading or listening to his messages, Rachel rose up from her bed and went to put Funny Girl into her DVD player in the hopes that it would take her mind off everything.
It did the exact opposite. Everything she did all tied into Finn somehow. Everything she'd hoped and dreamed for had something to do with Finn. Even watching her favourite movie in the entire world was too hard.
She took the remote in her hand and turned off the TV. She couldn't help but turn out her lamp light, lie her head back down on her pillow, and sob.
There was a sudden knock at her bedroom door. Her heart skipped a beat.
"Rachel, sweetheart. Can daddy come in?" her father sweetly said from behind her door.
As much as Rachel loved her father, she really didn't want to talk at this exact moment. She felt like her whole world was ending. Finn was her everything. She wanted to spend the rest of her life with him and she had thought that he wanted to spend his life with her too. It was all becoming clear to Rachel now that that was obviously not the case.
"Daddy, I love you, but I just need some alone time, okay?" Rachel whimpered trying not to sound as though she was sobbing.
Hiram wanted to cry himself. He loved his little girl more than she would ever know. It killed him to see her hurt like this. He knew that Rachel and Finn would work things out and everything would be okay, she just needed to know that.
"Well, I'm here if you need me darling. Just let me know."
He made his way back downstairs shrugging.
