Hello Again! Sorry I haven't been writing much. I just started summer classes and it takes me away from home a lot of the time. Anyways, I got this suggestion from one of the people who follow my stories. I absolutely love Ghost and I hope you guys enjoy this. Please leave me some good reviews. Shout to Sabrina34268541 for helping me with the plot! Just a heads up this is tense.


"Whoa look!" Fin exclaimed.

Rachel looked up from the big whole they had dug up, and she beamed. "It's perfect! Now we have all this space!"

Finn looked at Rachel, and gave her an incredulous look. "Space for what?"

"Just space," Rachel said.

28 years old Finn Hudson and 26 year old Rachel Berry had been looking for their own apartment for quite some time. They had been recommended by somebody at Finn's work about this place that had been abandoned for years and nobody's has come to fix it up. Finn had always loved fixing things. Giving that he had worked in his stepfather's car shop growing up, he was very used to it. So after some convincing to Rachel that they could afford to fix it up, Rachel agreed.

"Ok, let's bust this whole wall down here and you'll have even more space Rachel," Brody said. Brody was Finn's best friend at work for the past 6 years and had offered to help Finn and Rachel with some of the repairs. Rachel had gone to like Brody after Finn introduced him to her.

"Okay, on a count to three!" Rachel exclaimed. "One, two, Three!"

With three big swings of each of their axes, the wall came down.

Finn looked around and grinned. Yeah, this place was in need of some repairs and some heavy cleaning (which he had no doubt Rachel was going to that it got done), but he could see the potential of this place being a livable and enjoyable. "Wow, you weren't kidding Brody, this place is going to be awesome!"

"Once we get everything repaired and cleaned". Rachel corrected.

Finn smiled at her and walked over to her. Rachel beamed and place on kiss on his lips. Right after she pulled away, Finn surprised by lifting her up into a hug. Rachel squealed and returned his embrace. "It's so great!"


Three months later, the apartment looked like it was never abandoned. It took a lot of Finn and Rachel's savings but they made it work. Kurt Hummel, Finn's stepbrother, had taken up the job opportunity to help decorate the apartment. Kurt had thing for fashion and so there was some disagreements as to how it should be decorated. However, at the end Rachel and Finn were quite pleased with how the place turned out.

On the might they moved in, Finn and Rachel were up talking in bed. Well, Rachel was talking about her off Broadway production she was in. Rachel had wanted to be on Broadway ever since she was little. Her dads had gotten her involved in so many activities once they realized she could sing. The show she was in happened to be her favorite musical of all time. Funny Girl. She had been offered to a chorus part and the understudy of Fanny. Yeah, she wasn't happy about being an understudy at first. Yet alone a chorus part. But you got to start somewhere right? And being an actress, she knew that work was limited so she took all she could get.

Funny Girl had been an off Broadway production for the past year and a half with a lot of success. Rachel and her other cast mates agreed that it shouldn't be too long before they make it a Broadway production.

"I think it will be good Broadway production once it's approved. I just really can't wait to see what happens with it," Rachel said while leaning on Finn's shoulder who was working on his laptop.

"Mm hmm," Finn murmured.

Rachel lifted her head to look up at him. "Finn, what's wrong?"

Finn didn't even look at her. "Nothing," he lied.

"Finn," Rachel stated. She then shifted so that she was on her knees and took the laptop from him. She then straddled his lap. Finn looked at her with wide eyes. Rachel was giving him a stern look that he knew quite well. She wasn't going to let him get away with what he was thinking about.

He sighed and wrap his arms around her waist and pulled her closer. "Rachel, I'm nervous about starting school again", he whispered.

Finn and Rachel had been together in high school. They dated at the end of their junior year until the end of their senior year in high school. Finn had sent Rachel to live her dreams while he figured out things for himself. Yeah, it was a hard break up. He hated himself for a while to let her go but he knew she was destined for great things too. After Finn had sent Rachel to New York, Finn dedicated his time to working in his stepfather's, Burt's Auto shop while he studied at the University of Lima.

During his freshman year, he mad meet Brody who was studying Business and Finance. The two hit it off very quickly. Finn had found himself to be very inspired by the major Brody was taking and decided to do the major himself. They both had graduated the same year and were offered jobs at the bank where they both had internships.

Now at 28 and having been at the bank for almost six years, Finn really started regretting doing Business and Finance in the first place. For one thing, it wasn't what Finn had pictured himself doing. He learned he loved to help people in a more personal way that didn't have to do with their money. Sure, Brody was enjoying it because he was always very smart when it came to money. The other thing was, he didn't like just sitting at a computer all day. All he felt was that he was wasting his life away just sitting at an office desk. That was the last thing he wanted. To feel like a loser who was wasting his life away.

He connected with Rachel after a year of working in the office. Finn had heard that Rachel was in an off Broadway production of West Side Story from Kurt who was working with Isabelle Wright on fashion. He had been offered to be the costume designer for the show and accepted it. So on opening night, Finn had run into Rachel after the show. It took a few months for Rachel to come around. Even after spending five years part, their tether had never faded.

Rachel gave Finn a sympathetic look along with a look of confusion. "Finn, are you doubting your major again?"

Finn shook his head. "No. I just, he paused to rub the back of his head nervously. "I just don't know if I'll be a good teacher".

"No! Finn no", Rachel snapped. She then pressed a kiss to his head, his cheeks and then finally his lips. "Finn, if there is anybody who is going to be a great teacher, it's you. You deserve it more than anyone I know. You've been thinking about this for a while and I'm not going to let you get out of it".

Finn smiled and kissed Rachel's forehead. She always knew what to say. He then asked her a question. "Do you think Mr. Schue would be proud of me?" he asked.

Rachel smiled and nodded her head. "He already is proud of you. Always has Finn. You have nothing to worry about". Rachel then placed a blistering kiss on his lips. When she pulled away, she whispered. "I love you. I really love you".

"Ditto", Finn whispered.


A couple of hours later, Rachel was in one of Finn's shirts that she used for her art project to avoid getting messy. When Rachel moved to New York, she decided to take up a hobby when she was not working. Her friend Tina, who was also a chorus girl in Funny Girl, had introduced to pottery and had taken Rachel to class. Rachel had grown to love it and once she moved in with Finn, she had made a small spot in the apartment for her art work.

Rachel had an old record player playing while she did her art work. It was really soothing to hear while she worked. Rachel found to be one of her favorite times of the day to do it.

Rachel was working on a vase when she heard Finn come in. She felt him sit behind her and place his arms around her waist almost causing her to tremble.

"Hey," he whispered against her shoulder as he dropped a kiss there. "What time is it?"

"3 am," Rachel whispered as she turned her head and kissed him.

"What are you doing up?" he asked.

Rachel shrugged. "I couldn't sleep. I guess it's just the new environment. It's new to me," Rachel explained softly while working.

Finn nodded and placed a kiss on her cheek. He then looked to see what Rachel was doing. Her vase she was working on was tall and had some line designs on it. Curiously, Finn lifted his hand slowly and tried to touch it gently without ruining. No such luck. The moment his fingers touch it, the art piece collapsed forward, ruining the design and stance.

"Opps, I hope it wasn't a masterpiece," Finn chuckled.

Rachel smiled and shook her head. "Well, it's not now," she said while putting the messed up clay back into the bin to get wet again. She then reached for a new set of clay.

"Can I help?" Finn asked.

"Yeah," Rachel said. Rachel then grabbed Finn's hand and splashed some clay water on them. "Get your hands wet", she instructed.

After a minute, Finn's hand were wet. "Now just let the clay slide through your fingers", Rachel said as Rachel's record player switched a record and "Unchained Melody" started to play, filling up the silence between them.

Pressing a kiss on the side of Rachel's neck, Finn smiled and began to sing in time with the song.

Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
Time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me

Finn presses a kiss behind Rachel's ear, making her giggle but she still continues to work with Finn helping her still while still singing to her.

Lonely rivers flow
To the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh
"Wait for me, wait for me"
I'll be coming home, wait for me

Finn stops singing all together and starts pressing kisses to her neck. Rachel, unable to focus leans her head back to face Finn, giving him a passionate kiss. Their hands intertwine and Finn wraps his arms around her from behind, the art piece forgotten. During the heated kiss, Finn manages to turn Rachel around and pick her up, Rachel wraps his legs around his waist while Finn carries her to the living room.

Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered, for your touch
A long, lonely time

Rachel stares at Finn with a beaming smile while he still holds her in the living room. She then leans forward and kisses him deeply, casing Finn to tighten his arms around her even more. Finn then spins her around towards the couch and places her down gently.

Time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me

Rachel sucks on his lip while his tongue slips into her mouth. She then manages to grip Finn's shirt and tugs it over his head, her shirt is quickly discarded at well. Rachel traces her hands over his upper body appreciatively while giving him another hard kiss.

Lonely mountains gaze
At the stars, at the stars
Waiting for the dawn of the day

During their heated and deep kisses, they still manage to remove the rest of their clothes. Rachel moans when Finn presses kisses all over her face, neck, collarbone and chest. Finn groans and buries his face in her hair when Rachel leans up and presses open mouthed kisses over all his chest.

All alone I gaze
At the stars, at the stars
Dreaming of my love far away

With their hands intertwined, Finn slips into her. Rachel wraps her legs around his waist again while he pumps into her. Their moans and breathy sighs are drowned out as the song continues.

Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered, for your touch
A long, lonely time

Finn makes love to her tenderly and gently. Rachel manages to rock her hips in time with Finn's after a minute. She comes quickly with Finn following close behind her.

Time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me

As the music comes to a close, Finn places soft gentle kisses on her lips as they come down from their high. Rachel smiles and runs her finger through his hair. Finn then flips the around and Rachel leans her head on his chest, right over his heart. Finn kisses her forehead before they both fall asleep.


The next day, Finn was investigating some unbelievably big amounts of money in obscure bank accounts. He was never informed about these new accounts.

"Hey! What's up? Ready for lunch?" Brody asked coming into Finn's office.

Finn looked up from his computer. "I think we got an issue here," Finn said while grabbing a piece of paper to write down the codes of the suspicious accounts on his computer.

Brody eyes furrowed in concern and walks over to the chairs in Finn's office and sits down. "What's wrong?"

Finn shakes his head. "I'm seeing some new accounts on here that I don't know about. Nobody informed me of these accounts. There's too much money in these accounts."

"I can help investigate if you want," Brody offers.

Finn shakes his head and turns of the computer. "No. I'd rather do it on my own. But thanks. Let's got eat."

Brody nods and follows Finn out of his office. "What are you doing on Saturday night?" Brody asks.

"Rachel and I are going to a Broadway show. She's been begging me to see the live Rocky Horror performance since it came out." Finn chuckles.

Brody laughs and pats Finn on the back. "Good luck with that. I hope you guys have fun."

Finn smiles. "Thank man."


Saturday night, Rachel and Finn were walking home from the show. Rachel has her arms wrapped around Finn's arm with his jacket hanging on her. Rachel had been known to get chilly from time to time. Finn's body was like a heater and he certainly didn't mind her cuddling next to him.

"So what did you think?" Rachel asks.

"To be honest, I thought it was good. It was nice being able to go see something that's wasn't Wicked for change," he says.

Rachel gaps and pokes him in his side "You're lucky I love you Finn Hudson."

Finn smirks and wraps the arm she's holding on to around her and pulls her to him. "Oh yeah?" he whispers husky, kissing the side of her neck.

Rachel bites her lip to hold back a moan as he nibbles on her neck gently. "Finn, there's something I need to tell you. But I can't do it when you're doing…oh."

Finn smirks against her neck. "All the more reason to do it." He kisses her neck again.

Rachel manages to pull away and he looks at her in confusion. "Finn, I have some news to tell you."

Finn face turns soft and worry come over it. Rachel can't help but smile at that. Just another endearing quality of Finn's.

"What is it baby?" Finn asks while pulling her closer by her hips.

Rachel smiles. "Well, Mr. Schuester, my director for Funny Girl told me today at rehearsal that Anna, who is playing Fanny right now will be taking a break from Broadway. She's expecting her first child."

Finn's eyes widen. "Does this mean-"

Rachel nods her head excitedly. "Yes, I'm going get my first debut as a lead in Funny Girl Finn!" Even before Rachel finishes her sentence, Finn already lifts her and spins her.

"I knew you could do it baby!" He shouts.

Rachel giggles into his shoulder as he outs her down. Finn then kisses her deeply.

"There's something else I want to talk to you about," she says quietly.

Finn smiles and nods his head.

Rachel takes a deep breath. "Do you love me Finn?"
She says quietly.

Finn's eyes widen. "Yes. Why? I say it to you all the time."

Rachel sighs and shakes her head. "You say ditto. That's not the same as "I love you"."

Finn knew there was more than what she letting on. "Baby, why do you ask?"

Rachel takes a deep breath and then answers, "I think I'm going to marry you Finn."

Rachel said it so quietly that Finn barely heard. But he did. His eyes go huge and he wraps his arms around her tighter. "Baby, are you sure? We haven't really talked about it."

Rachel smiles and nods. "Yeah. I've been thinking about it a lot. I know I'll have what matters most if we're together." And that was the truth. Every day she was with Finn, these feelings kept getting stronger. He gave her everything and complimented her as a person every day. She just knew he was the one for her.

Finn smiles and hold her a little more tightly. He felt the same way. "I see myself being with you too. But let me propose to you first. I want you to remember it."

Rachel squeals and launches herself at him, kissing the side of his face. Finn laughs and kisses her cheek in return. Rachel then pulls back and cups his face in her hands. She could see all the love he had for her and kisses him tenderly.

"I love you," Rachel whispers when she breaks away.

Finn opens his mouth to respond but only to be pulled away from Rachel and pressed against the wall by an unknown man. This man had wavy, curly and brown hair. He was a little shorter than Finn but had a lot of strength.

"Give me your wallet," He growls.

Finn looks up at horror at the gun points to his head. He notices Rachel is frozen in fear.

"Calm down", Finn says quietly. The last thing he wanted to do was to get shot or Rachel.

"Finn, just give it to him" Rachel says firmly but quietly. Her big brown eyes are shifting back forth between the two men.

Finn then looks at the man with the gun. "Ok, just take the money and-"

The man then punches Finn in the stomach cutting his off, obviously not liking his answer. Rachel then steps in to try and push the man off of Finn. The man then steps towards Rachel and slaps her hard across the face, resulting her yelling in pain.

The sight of the man hitting Rachel causes Finn to lose it. He gets up and shoves the unknown man against the wall while hearing Rachel call for help.

BANG!

The man then runs into a dark alley with Finn running after him. Once the man is out of site, Finn runs over to Rachel. "Rachel? Rachel are you ok? Did you-"Finn then stops when he sees the site in front of him.

There lies Rachel in a pool of blood while cradling Finn's body close to her.

Finn's eyes get huge in horror. No. That couldn't be me could it? I'm standing right here.

Finn gently lifts his hand over to the body Rachel is holding. He reaches out to touch it only to see his hand go through it. He pulls back in horror.

He then hears Rachel talking to his body. "Don't leave me Finn. Baby, hang on," she whispers with tears flowing down her cheeks. "Is there anybody there!? Somebody please help me!"

Finn there turns around when he sees two men running over to help Rachel. While he watches the men trying to help Rachel, he sees a light coming from the sky. It is a white-blueish light with what looks to be balls of light coming down on him. He look at the light and then back to Rachel.

He then quickly walks away from the light towards Rachel. The light then disappears.


"God Kurt, why haven't we heard of anything?" Rachel cries while sitting in the seat next to him. Finn was standing right next to Rachel. It absolutely broke his hear to see her so scared.

Rachel had called Kurt while in the ambulance with Finn. Kurt then meet her at the hospital Finn was at.

Kurt sucked in a deep breath. "I don't know. Rachel." He says weakly, trying to keep the tears at bay. They had only been waiting for ten minutes at least. To both of them it felt like an hour. Finn looked at both his brother and girlfriend. He only wishes he could do something to ease their pain.

It was then that the emergency room doctor came into the waiting room. The doctor was wearing blue scrubs and he had a sullen look on his face.

"Finn Hudson?"

Rachel and Kurt both stood up while holding hands. "That's us. I'm his stepbrother," Kurt says once they both approach him.

"How is he doctor? Please let us," Rachel says.

The doctor shakes his head. "I'm sorry Miss Berry and Mister Hummel. He didn't make it. He was probably dead at the scene," the doctor says quietly.

Rachel stood frozen. Kurt turns to her when he feels her hand in his grow cold and limp. She puts on hand on her mouth. Her eyes are misty as tears started to drown them. She tries to suck in a breath but a sob escapes her lips. She feels herself start to fall, and Kurt catches her in time just before she could, crushing to his chest as more violent sobs wreck her body. She feels Kurt sobbing too as he holds her and it only tightens her grip on him more. He needed support just as much as she did.

Finn felt tears come into his eyes as he watched the scene unfold. Seeing Rachel crying so hard hurt like hell. He only wishes he could hold her in his arms just like Kurt was doing. Feeling angry, Finn lifts his foot back to try and kick the chair behind him only to have his foot go right through it.

It was in that moment, he decided it was time to figure why he was killed.

And hopefully connect with Rachel again.


Please don't hate me. It's part of the story.
