She ran to her room, tears cascading down her face. The prospect of leaving him was unbearable. She needed him with her at this point in time- to feel his arms wrapped around her petite body. In a simple text message, she just said "please come round- I need you!"
As he read it, he knew something was wrong- there was no kiss at the end and it was way past 10:30, so she would usually be asleep. It must have been something important to throw her off her predictable schedule that would lead her to stardom. He ran out of his house, just telling his mum where he was going before he jumped into his truck and drove the familiar route to her house. He knocked impatiently on the door, to be welcomed by her father.
"Ahh, Finn, I thought I would be seeing you tonight. I'm guessing your here for Rachel- she's up I'm her room"
"Thank you Sir" He said as he strode past him and up the stairs to her room. Things were still awkward between him and her parents since they had caught him and Rachel in bed together a few week ago. He pushed that to the back of his mind though, as he entered her strawberry shortcake inspired room (all of the pink kind of freaked him out!). She was curled up in a ball on her bed, sobbing loudly. He recognised that she didn't want to talk about whatever had made her become like this, so he climbed onto the bed and wrapped her up in his muscular arms, consoling her purely with his presence.
It seemed like hours before the tears and hiccups subsided and she fell asleep, still protected by his body and warmth. He looked at her sleeping form, kissed her lightly on the forehead and fell asleep alongside her.
Rachel woke up the following morning, entangled by her boyfriends arms, and was glad that he was still here. As she slowly tried to free herself, she wondered what she had done to deserve him. It was at this point that she realised that he had the right to know. It affected him as much as it did her! So she waited beside him, staring at his perfect body, and the way he was so calm.
"Good morning babe"She smiled as he sat up, still half asleep.
"Good morning- thanks for staying with me last night. I really appreciate it"
"Don't worry about it. You know I'd do anything for you."Rachel truly loved him, and was dreading a future without him. A future her father's had brought upon her. She knew all of her feelings of devotion were reciprocated. Like her, he would be heart-broken with the news. She took a deep breath before revealing why she was so upset.
"Finn, I love you with all of my heart, and I hate to see you miserable, but I really need to tell you something. And though it may bring about hurt emotions, I am going to have to deal with it. You need to know."
"What is it Rach," His face was etched with confusion and worry, so after another deep breath, she continued.
"We're moving!"
