A/N: All characters belong to Fox + Glee and everything like that.
He'd been thinking it over, constantly in his mind. He knew what he had to do, what he wanted to do. It would all be okay again. Quinn was still fuming after the break up, but he couldn't think about that now, or her. There was only one girl for him, and he'd done the right thing breaking up with Quinn. He couldn't stay in an unhappy relationship where he was miserable and forever looking for another girl.
She'd stayed in his heart since they'd broken up. He was so silly to let something as stupid as Puck get in the way of what could have been really special. Quinn would always say that she and Finn were first loves, but in his heart he knew it was Rachel.
The school bell rang and Finn realised he'd missed half a lesson thinking it over. Oh well, he could copy up from Rachel once they were back together. There she was, walking out the door, her knee socks grey in colour today, to match her grey and pink chequered skirt. No-one could wear skirts and knee socks like Rachel; he knew people were always mean about them, what was the word Rachel had used? Derogatory. He knew people were derogatory about them, but to him her outfits just made her more… Rachel.
He caught up with her at her locker. She stood on her tiptoes putting her books inside.
"Rachel?"
"Finn," Her breath caught as she turned round to face him.
"I need to talk to you,"
The bell rang for the next lesson and the corridors began to empty.
"I'm going to be late." said Rachel, but she didn't move.
Instead she stopped, and gazed up at him with her big brown eyes.
He took an intake of breath.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for, not forgiving you, for dating Quinn again, for sleeping with Santana, for everything I put you through. I'm still in love with you. I never stopped loving you; I was just hurt and angry that I was cheated on again. But I was angrier at myself afterwards for letting you go because you were the best thing that happened to me and… I want you back."
Rachel looked up at him again, and half smiled.
"I'm sorry too Finn"
His face cracked into a huge grin.
"But I can't do this again. I can't keep going round in circles, and having you when you want me. What about what I want? I'm sick of you picking me up and dropping me down like a toy, because every time you drop me again it hurts more than the last time and I deserve more than that. We both need to be on our own for a bit. When you decide what you really want, you know where I am. But until then, I'm not playing games with you."
"I want you." he uttered.
"I don't believe you." she whispered back and turned around walking down the empty corridor without looking back.
All Finn could do was watch her walk away, the pieces of another ruined relationship crumbling at his feet where she had been stood.
All he could do was watch the only girl he'd ever loved walk away.
Hope you enjoy, please R+R, I love Finchel, but our Rach deserves so much more 3 When will Finn 'Get it Right'?
