She's Got A Boyfriend Now, a glee fanfic

Okay, so I'm going to get to my Camp rock story, but this thought has been in my head for forever...so I figured I'd write it out...This is based off the song She's Got A Boyfriend Now by Boys Like Girls. I own nothing...

Present Day (Age 23)

"Hi, I'm Finn Hudson, and we're Summer Never Ends. I wrote this song about two days ago when I got an invitation to my best friend's wedding. To the girl that I let get away. The wedding invite also happened to have a letter from them, telling me that I was once of the privileged that is allowed to know that she's also pregnant. Receiving that letter ripped my heart open, and this is just a song I wrote to help me forget. It's called She's Got a Boyfriend Now."

We were seventeen and invincible
Had the world figured out and the girl on my shoulders
Told me everything's gon' be alright
(Whoa-oh)
And everything was gonna be alright
(Whoa-oh)

Finn and Rachel, Age 17

"Finn, I think I love you." Finn looked at his girlfriend of six months, and smiled. "Think? I thought Rachel Berry never "thought" I thought Rachel Berry was one of those girls that just "knew". When he smiled she knew everything was good, but all she really wanted were those three little words.

Yeah maybe we were in high school
But you never see the ending
When you're young and not pretending
Singing everything's gon' be alright
(Whoa-oh)
And everything was gonna be alright
Buried her deep inside
Stars go kill my eyes

"Why can't you just say it?"

"Rachel we've talked about this, the baby, Quinn, it's all too much for me right now. I mean, I'm graduating this year, I can't be stuck in this stupid town for some girl I met in high school!"

"Oh, so now I'm just some girl you met in high school? That's great Finn, have fun with your new life!"

"Rachel, wait!"

"No. I can't do this anymore. If we're together then it needs to be 100% commitment, and I just don't think you can do that. I'm sorry Finn but this is goodbye."

Now she's got a boyfriend
And I've got a rock band
Cause nothing really ever goes the way it's planned
Yeah she's in Ohio and I'm on some back road
Driving to the city and then who knows
Cause that's all she wrote
I wish that I could turn this car around
But she's got a boyfriend now
(Whoa)
(Whoa)

Rachel Berry made it out of Lima, Ohio. But she didn't go to New York like everyone expected. She didn't go to Broadway, no, but she went one step further. Rachel Berry became a movie star, with a recording contract. At the beginning of her career, she was nervous, she knew no one in L.A, just went there on a whim. She never expected Noah Puckerman to show up. She never expected him to get SIGNED, to the same label as her no less. But they were signed, and as neither of them knew anyone else in the city, they began to spend exponential amounts of time together. Soon enough that moved to friends with benefits, and before they knew it they had been dating for over two years.

Then I took a trip out to LA
For the girl with a smile that could take your breath away
I'm thinking everything's gon' be alright
(Whoa-oh)
And everything was gonna be alright
(Whoa-oh)

Finn had gotten a band together, and they were about to be signed when he ran into Rachel, quite literally at the recording studio. She invited him to dinner at her house, and he saw this as his chance to finally, finally be with her.

Maybe I thought I could sweep in and
Sweep her off her feet and go right back to Boston
Thinking everything's gon' be alright
(Whoa-oh)
And everything was gonna be alright
(Whoa-oh)
The streets keep holding on but now she's so far gone

What surprised him at the door left a pain in his heart. Rachel opened the door with her thousand watt smile already set in place. What surprised him however was when Noah Puckerman, his ex- best friend (they never did quite make up), came up behind Rachel with a "Babe, who's at the- Finn. What are you doing here? Rachel?"

"Noah, I know it's an awfully big surprise, but I ran into him at the recording studio. He's an old friend, remember?"

"Yeah I remember. Come on in the house." He said it with resignation. Rachel would do whatever she wanted to do and there was no way to stop her. It was one of his favorite things about her, what made her uniquely crazy...and all his.

Now she's got a boyfriend
And I've got a rock band
Cause nothing really ever goes the way it's planned
Yeah she's on the west coast and I'm on some back road
Driving to the city and then who knows
Cause that's all she wrote
I wish that I could turn this car around
But she's got a boyfriend now

Finn was signed, and eventually went on tour. The dinner that night had gone better than anyone had planned, and Finn continued to stay in touch with Puck and Rachel, but eventually the stress caught up with him.

Take me back to you somehow
And everything that I know now it's so hard
I tore us apart
Take me back to feeling like the world
Would just keep dealing me the right cards
Now you're just so far

These were the times when he thought of Rachel. They also led to some of his band's hits. She was his inspiration, though she was gone, never to return to him.

Present Day (Finn)

And I'm 23 and invincible
Got the world figured out and a bird on my shoulders
Told me everything's gon' be alright
(Whoa-oh)
And when is everything gonna be alright?

His heart was breaking; he couldn't believe that his best friend always got the girl. Why? Was it the looks? No, definitely not the looks for Rachel. With Rachel it was always different. She stopped the pain, and healed you. She had a thing for broken people. And Puck is as broken as they come...Well, was anyways.

"Thanks for listening guys. That's for the girl who got away." Finn walked off the stage and into the back room.

"Finn, I thought that was great. I don't know if you remember me, but we were in Glee club together. My name's Tina Cohen-Chang? I work for People magazine and was wondering if I could get a quote?"

"Sure Tina. Over dinner?" And so Finn Hudson began to move on...

(Whoa)
(Whoa)
She's got a boyfriend now
(Whoa)
She's got a boyfriend now
(Whoa)

Take your
