A/N: Having the slightest bit trouble wrapping up the next chapter of TDBY. For the time being, have a taste of this. ;)


She asks him if he could come to the auditorium later that day so they could talk by leaving a note inside his locker.

Hey, Finn. It's Rachel. Can you please meet me in the auditorium later this afternoon at four-thirty? I need to talk to you. Thank you.

He crumples the small piece of paper and throws it in the nearby trash bin. He's still feeling a bit cold towards her. He can't talk to her — he sort of promised himself that he would never ever have that conversation with her the moment they broke up.

She cheated. Who wouldn't be mad and hurt upon finding out that the person they love cheated on them? Worse, with the person they thought were their best friend? Right. No one.

He can't believe that she would do that, actually. He thought that losing Quinn was enough — that losing a soon-to-be-Beth was enough — but then Rachel has to make a mistake and he has to lose her too and they had to fall apart and she has to make him feel so wounded at the end.

He makes a decision that he would not meet her later that day. He'll just pretend that he hadn't read her letter and carry on with the rest of the day.

Because he knows that he can't can't can't talk to her alone without feeling hopes about the two of them build up — without some of his feelings for her build back up. (But then again, did those feelings he had — still has, probably — for her ever vanish?)

He shakes his head. He simply can't talk to her. So he won't.


He finds another note the next day (much to his somewhat-chagrin), again inside his locker. He's starting to wonder how she could put them in.

But oh, right, he remembers that she still probably must know his locker combo.

Anyway, he unfolds the small piece of paper and read:

Finn. You didn't show up yesterday. I was expecting you, but perhaps you were too busy. How about this afternoon at three o'clock? I really need to talk to you. –Rachel

He sighs and once again throws away the little piece of manuscript. She just wouldn't drop it, would she? He's suddenly feeling frustrated — at her, but also at himself, because he can't seem to stop himself from somehow letting his remaining feelings for Rachel prevail. He considers seeing her this afternoon.

As he ponders further, though, he decides against it. He realizes that he's still not quite moved on — still not ready to face her and the truth that she had never loved him.

So just like yesterday, he refused to go see her.


Finn. You do realize that you can't avoid me forever, right?

He read the note again and felt some sort of guilt rush through his veins. It seems like she expected him to show up yesterday, too.

He feels kind of intrigued, to be honest. Why is she so persevered and determined to talk to him all of a sudden? After a month of being broken up, why now?

He realizes that these questions will remain unanswered until he actually musters up his guts and speaks to her.


So I don't really have an explanation on what this is, it just really came to me and I had to let it out! Great. Now I have three in-progress fics sigh what am I doing . ?

Also I'm not sure if I'm gonna continue this. Depends on the feedback, I guess.

PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW!
