It was a cold November afternoon and Finn was standing in the line to Rachel Berry's first official concert. Yes it was Rachel Berry, his ex-girlfriend. He haven't met her or talked to her since their break up, which was about 5 years ago. They broke the contact completely and trough these five years, he didn't even bother calling her because he thought that she probably already forgot about him. While standing in the line and waiting for the door keeper to come and open the gate, his thoughts wandered to those times when he was a student at the William McKinley High School in Ohio and when he was in glee club. He smiled a little at the thought of his last year in Glee, when they won Nationals. Nearly everyone from the Glee club achieved their dreams and were no happy: Rachel became a famous singer and so did Mercedes, Mike started his own dance club, Kurt got into NYADA, he was working at Vogue and also got back together with Blaine. They all got just what they wanted and then there's him, the only one who has totally failed in his life. He joined the army but then left because he somehow shot himself in the leg, he broke up with his girlfriend, who was also the love of his life, so his life was practically a huge mistake, except the fact that he somehow got a job at one of the most popular recording studios in NY. He was still surprised that they chose him, of all the other people who have applied for the job. He woke up from his thoughts when a girl poked him on the shoulder, and he realized that the gate was now open so he could go inside. He stopped next to the cashier, showed her his ticked and continued inside. Once he got inside the huge hall, he checked his ticket to see where his seat was. "Section 1, Row 2, Seat 24" was printed on the ticket and he went looking for it. After a few minutes he finally managed to find his seat and he made himself comfortable. The concert hall was slowly filling with people, so he checked his clock. "Its 1 hour left until the concert starts", he thought and once again looked around to see if he recognizes someone from the crowd.

Rachel was backstage, getting ready for her first official concert. Sure she has performed before, but this was a lot different. This time it was her OWN concert and for the first time in her life, she was actually a little scared. Someone knocked on the door to her dressing room, "come in" she shouted. The door went open and Jessica, her assistant, stood in the door.

"The show starts in 10 minutes Rachel, so you have to go with me now", she said and smiled. Rachel stood up, took a last look in the mirror and followed Jessica out to the waiting room. She walked to the curtain, opened it a little and looked out. She was surprised to see, that almost all the seats were taken.

"Wow! That is a lot of people" she said, as she turned back to Jessica and walked over to the sofa to relax a little before the show. Jessica smiled and hit Rachel playfully on the shoulder, "Don't worry, you'll do great, just as always". Rachel smiled and made her comfortable on the sofa. She wondered if anyone of her friends is in the audience, well she knew for sure that Mercedes was there because she just got a text from her saying: "Good luck tonight girl, I'll be somewhere watching you. Break a leg :)".
The audio engineer walked over to her and handed her a pair of earphones. She took them, and put them in her ears. He turned a short sound on, asked her if she heard something and she nodded. Suddenly a red lamp started flashing which meant show time. She fixed her dress one last time, took a deep breath, grabbed the microphone and walked out on the stage. The crowd went crazy when she appeared, so she smiled and waved at them. While intro to the song played, she walked over to the middle of the stage and once again waved at the crowd.

When she started singing the last song, she looked at the people who sat in the front row and she suddenly saw him. She couldn't really believe her eyes, but yes it was him, Finn Hudson, her ex-boyfriend. Her eyes filled with tears as she remembered everything, every moment with him, but she knew that she couldn't cry, at least not yet because she was on stage, on her own concert. The song seemed to last forever but when it finally ended, she waved at the crowd, screamed "Thank you all for coming tonight! I love you!" and walked off the stage, and went straight to her dressing room. When she closed the door after her, she finally let the tears fall down her face. After crying for about 5 minutes, she finally managed to stand up, wash her face so no one would see that she have been crying and walk back to the crew, who were waiting to congratulate her in the waiting room. The first one to hug her was her assistant, Jessica who also happened to be her best friend. "Oh my dear god. Girl you were amazing out there! Everyone loved you!", she said with an excited voice. Rachel smiled and hugged her back. When they pulled out of the hug, Sandra, Rachel's manager walked over to them, put her hand on Rachel's shoulder and said "Great job tonight girl! So now, are you ready to give some of your fans a backstage tour?". Rachel nodded and walked over to a girl who was holding a VIP ticked in her hand. When the little girl saw Rachel, she ran to her and gave her a HUGE hug.

"I'm Anna and I'm your biggest fan", the girl said as Rachel took her hand, smiled and they walked away to explore the backstage area.

Rachel has now showed 10 people around and was sitting on the sofa in the backstage "living room", waiting for the last person with a VIP ticket to arrive. Suddenly Jessica shouted at Rachel that the guy was waiting for her in the hall so Rachel sighed, stood up and walked out of the living room to the hall.

Finn stood in the hall, waiting for Rachel to come out. He was really nervous. He haven't met her since 5 years ago, and he was afraid that the meeting will be awkward, the feeling that he hates the most. And then suddenly she came out, perfect as always. He smiled awkwardly when she came over to him, and he could tell that she was really surprised to see him.

"Um, hi." he said.

"Hi Finn. I haven't seen you in a while, so how have you been?"

"Hi Rachel. Well I've been good, I guess. I had some ups and downs but everything's alright now. And you? I see you've become popular now." He smiled and to his surprise, she smiled back. Oh, how he missed that smile, during these 5 years. Now he thought about their moments together again, and he tried to make the thoughts go away, but they wouldn't. He found himself staring at her lips, and remembering the soft touch of her lips against his when they kissed. He shook his head to make the thoughts go away and once again smiled to Rachel.

"So, will you show me around?", he asked.

"Yeah, sure.", she smiled, started walking down the hall and he followed after her.

After about 30 minutes of showing around, laughing together and just having fun they finished the backstage tour.

"Oh my god, Finn. I had so much fun, hanging out with you! It was really great!", she smiled and gave him a hug. At first he was surprised but then he hugged back and smiled to himself.

"I had so much fun too."

"Do you maybe want to... follow with me to my place? I could show you how my apartment looks like and we also could watch a movie together?", she smiled slightly.

"Yes, I'd love to. It sounds like a great idea!".

"Ok. C'mon lets go then". They walked to the parking lot, got into her car and drove off to Rachel's apartment.

When they finally arrived to her apartment, all Finn could say was, "WOW!". He was totally speechless because the apartment was so well-designed, and just so beautiful. Rachel smiled to him as they continued in, to the living room.

"Kurt helped me a little with the decorating, as you probably can see", she said.

"Yeah, I can totally see that. But it's really beautiful! I love it".

"Aww really? Thank you! Sooo…. Do you want to watch a movie or something?"

"That sounds like a great idea."

"Ok then. Well, the movies are on the shelf over the TV so look through them and choose something. And by the way, do you want something to drink?"

"Water, please"

"No problem, I'll be right back", she smiled and walked off to the kitchen. He looked through the DVD's that stood on the shelf and picked one, "The Last Song". When he just sat down on the couch, Rachel came back holding two glasses, one with water and one with Coca Cola. She handed the glass with water to Finn, so he took it and smiled. She walked around the sofa and sat down.

"So, what did you choose?", she asked.

"The Last Song. It seems like a good movie"

"Oh, great. I love that movie. It's perfect", she smiled, turned the movie on and made herself comfortable on the couch. Both of them were sitting on each side of the sofa, because none of them knew if the other one was currently in a relationship or not, and if it happened that they were together with someone then they didn't want to complicate things.

When there was a kissing scene in the movie, Rachel's thoughts suddenly wandered to Finn again. Once again, she remembered his soft lips touching her owns. She remembered how they used to just lay in the sofa, she in his arms, watching a movie or just enjoying every second they spent together. She sighed, and a tear fell down her cheek. She slowly turned her head to look at Finn, when she saw that he was already staring at her. Now she couldn't stop the tears from falling, and she neither could stop the memories from coming back to her mind.

Finn saw that Rachel started crying, so he came closer to her and put his arm around her, trying to make her feel safe.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?", he asked with a soft voice as he tried to calm her down.

"It's… It's just the movie... It's so touching…", she said between the sobs.

"I'm sorry; I didn't know it was so touching for you. I could've picked a different one".

"No, it's ok. Really, I'm just very emotional".

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm one hundred percent sure".

He smiled, and was on his way to take his arm away and move back to his place, but she stopped him by placing her hand on his hand, holding him from moving away. He smiled a little and made himself comfortable, with his arm still on Rachel's shoulders.

The clock was now 11:24pm and they have watched two movies. When the second movie ended they stood up, walked over to the hallway and hugged each other tight, for a long time. When they finally pulled away, Rachel smiled and gave him her phone number.

"Here's my number, and feel free to text me whenever you want. And by the way, before I forget. Do you want to meet up tomorrow, for a coffee or something?", she asked and smiled.

"Haha thanks. And yes of course. I had so much fun time hanging out with you today. So, tomorrow at 3pm at Starbucks?".

"Sounds great to me".

"Good, see you tomorrow then! Bye". And with that he walked out of her apartment, smiling to himself. Rachel stood in the door for a while, smiling, and after some minutes walked back into the apartment and closed the door after her.
