Okay, so it made not be my best but I really like this song and thought it would be a good song for Rachel to sing about everything.
"Hi," She said quietly peering up from her locker to see him.
He just gave her a nod and continued to walk through the halls. She took a deep breath and pulled out the rest of her books. She walked to Spanish. She could barely pay attention, she just stared at him the whole class. It was like what she did during the beginning of last year the only thing different now is, he was single. But why would he take her back? She did the same thing Quinn did to him last year. She knew it hurt him and she wasn't thinking. She felt like the worst girlfriend ever.
For the first time in a while Rachel was the last one to rehearsal that afternoon. Everyone was seated and there wasn't many chairs left. It seemed too awkward sitting next to Finn, she settled next to Brittany in the front. Will walked into the room and began rehearsal.
"Okay, Rachel, I gotta solo it's West Side Story?" Will said looking at the sad teenager.
"No thanks, I'm not really in the mood." Rachel said.
"Oh come on Berry just take the solo," Santana said.
"I don't think you make decisions for me Santana," Rachel said turning back to her.
"Would you just take the solo?" She said.
"No, I'm not going to take it! I'm sick of you pushing me around! I'm sick of a lot of things actually, a lot at Finn," She paused. "You can be mad at me but a little hi wouldn't hurt!" She yelled angrily. She stormed out the door and walked down the hall.
"I think this was the first time I've been afraid of her storming out," Artie said.
"I'll go calm her down," Will said.
"Can I just say something?" Puck asked.
"Go ahead, I'm gonna go find Rachel." Will said.
"Finn, stop being such an idiot and go get her back. It was my fault too about what happened and you shouldn't be so mad at her. You should be more mad at me, I'm the one who suggested it," Puck said.
"But she's the one who agreed to it," Finn said.
"It doesn't matter, don't you see it Finn?" Puck asked."she was the best thing that ever happened to you! You're miserable, I can see it, you're off your game here and on the field. If you don't step it up Beiste's gonna give Sam the quarterback spot." Puck finished.
"Kurt's been calling me lately, he said you've been off at home to," Mercedes said.
"As much as I don't like Rachel, you and her are perfect for each other," Quinn said.
"Rachel!" Will yelled down the hall, she turned around.
"I don't need this," Rachel said, tears forming in her eyes.
"No one does, but don't let Santana get to you,"
"I try but she just doesn't stop," She said now crying.
"I know its has been hard on you these past couple of weeks, with Finn and all, but sometimes you just have to ignore others and deal with it the way you want to," Will said. Rachel wiped the tears from her eyes and stood up.
"Thank you Mr. Schue," She said. "can I use the auditorium after school? I haven't sung in a while."
"Sure," They both walked back to the room and rehearsal went on.
"Dude, you coming to football or what?" Puck asked.
"Yeah," Finn followed Puck out of the room to the locker room.
Puck's words stuck in Finn. He wasn't ready to forgive Rachel but he was right. After practice Finn took a walk around the school and heard something in the auditorium, he opened the door slowly and stood in the back.
"Brad, B flat please," Rachel said. He would've left but he needed to hear Rachel sing, she was the best singer he had ever heard and even though he was mad at her he couldn't leave.
I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
How we met and the sparks flew instantly People would say, "they're the lucky ones"
I used to know my place was a spot next to you
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on
Oh, a simple complication
Miscommunication lead to fall out
So many things that I wish you knew
So many walls up I can't break through
After that verse he knew who she was singing about.
Now I'm standing alone In a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know Is it killing you
Like it's killing me?
I don't know what to say
Since a twist of fate
When it all broke down
And the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now
Next chapter
It was so true what she was saying. He moved in closer and sat down.
How'd we end up this way?
See me nervously pulling at my clothes
And trying to look busy
And you're doing your best to avoid me
I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us
How I was losing my mind when I saw you here
But you held your pride like you should have held me
Oh, we're scared to see the ending
Why are we pretending this is nothing?
I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how
I've never heard silence quite this loud
Each verse he moved in closer and little by little he began to forgive her.
Now I'm standing alone
In a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know
Is it killing you Like it's killing me?
I don't know what to say
Since a twist of fate
When it all broke down
And the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now
This is looking like a contest
Of who can act like they care less
But I liked it better when you were on my side
The battle's in your hands now
But I would lay my armor down
If you'd say you'd rather love than fight
So many things that you wish I knew
But the story of us might be ending soon
He was so close to her but she didn't seem to notice him, she was too into the song to notice anyone.
Now I'm standing alone
In a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know
Is it killing you
Like it's killing me?
I don't know what to say
Since a twist of fate
When it all broke down
And the story of us Looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, now
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know
Is it killing you Like
it's killing me?
I don't know what to say
Since a twist of fate 'cause we're going down
And the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now
The End
By now he was right next to her.
"Finn-" He cut her off and pulled her into a kiss.
"I may not fully forgive you but I want to start over." She nodded.
"I've missed you," She said.
"I have too." He said his helmet in one hand and his other arm wrapped around her as they walked out of the auditorium.
