Chapter 2
The day of Mr. Schuester's wedding had arrived. Everyone making their own way there but Finn was going to pick Rachel up and take her there so they could spend some alone time together. The last few days they hadn't seen each other much either they were busy or they just didn't have the time. Pulling up outside Rachel's house he knocked on the door. Leroy answered the door
"Ah Finn hello there come in Rachel is still getting ready" He said shaking Finn's hand
"Thanks Mr. Berry" He said walking in
"Finn how many times do we have to tell you please call us Leroy and Hiram were both Mr. Berry so it does get quite confusing" he said laughing as Finn shook Hiram's hand
"So how's the apartment hunting going?" Hiram asked
"To be honest I haven't even started to look I've been so busy working with Burt trying to save as much as possible that I haven't even begun to look for a place yet" Finn said sounding slightly disappointed in himself.
"Ah don't worry I'm sure between you and Rachel the two of you will find somewhere to live and if not there's always the student dorm rooms" Leroy replied
"Yeah true although I don't like the idea of Rachel living with people that don't know her at all they might think she's weird that she has to have a cup of coffee in the morning before her vocal warm ups" Finn finished and saw Leroy and Hiram looking stunned
"Finn forgive me asking but how do you know about Rachel's morning rituals?"
"She told me, when it comes to Rachel I remember everything that she says, for instance I know that this week she started a new yoga workout and she prefers it to her old one and that she is determined to have a female puppy and name it Barbra regardless of gender"
Hiram smiled "See Finn that's why we like you so much when it comes to Rachel you notice every little detail no matter how big or small. It's why we know that you will be looking after Rachel in New York rain or shine"
Finn now smiled "I'll always look out for Rachel, she's one of a kind" Before Finn managed to finish his sentence Rachel walked down the stairs in a blue strapless dress that went to her knee's her hair was curled and put up she wore light but effective make up. Finn thought he had seen an angel walk into the room
"Wow" Was all he managed to say
Rachel smiled and complimented Finn as well, after some brief discussion with her parents Rachel and Finn left to go to Mr. Schue's wedding
"I missed not being able to spend my normal amount of time with you these last few days" Finn said as they pulled away from Rachel's house
"I know I missed you too" She smiled at him. She had made it her point to sit as close to Finn as possible whenever she was with him
"Can you believe that in three months time were going to be starting college in New York together?" Rachel asked
"I know it's completely surreal I'm worried but excited at the same time" Finn admitted
"Why are you worried?" She asked slightly worried
"It's nothing major I'm just worried that we might drift apart whilst were at NYU together and I wouldn't ever want that to happen"
"Don't worry Finn you mean too much to me for me to let you slip away, Ill be honest with you I was worried that you might find someone else more pretty than me in New York and suddenly lose interest in me" She said saddened
"Hey look at me, look at me Rachel (she looks up at him) Nothing I repeat nothing will ever make me forget about you. Your too perfect for me to ever lose interest in you Miss Berry your simply to amazing and unique for me to ever do that. Your voice along could bring me back from anything" Finn smiled at kissed the hand he was holding.
The wedding ceremony was simple but elegant Miss Pillsbury had decided to wear the wedding dress that she bought back in the kids junior year, why waste a perfectly good dress. They had opted against writing their own values.
All in all it was a emotional but happy wedding. After a short drive they arrived at the hall where the reception was being held. Finn couldn't help but notice some teenagers that were joy riding along the roads. Those who weren't in the car were drinking underage as well "The immaturity of youth" he thought to himself.
The reception was going well and a short while into the reception Will stood to make a toast
"I'd like to thank everyone who turned up today to witness my marriage to a truly remarkable woman. A woman who defied all odds and was there for everyone else regardless of her own situations. Emma my love in recognition of your undying passion to help others myself and a few of my glee kids have a put together a little number in your honour"
At the end of this gesture Rachel noticed that Finn, Puck Artie and Blaine had all stood and were standing in a line behind Mr Schue.
The music started and the singing began

The entire hall erupted in applause and Emma was crying as the song finished. After some more dancing and singing the reception began to break up. They had spent 4 hours at the reception and it was getting late. After rounds of Goodbyes Rachel and Finn got into the truck and drove off into the night.
"It was a beautiful wedding wasn't it" Finn asked
"Oh yes it was perfect makes me wonder what my wedding will be like if I ever get married" Rachel replied head resting on Finn's shoulder
"I have it on good authority that there is a rather tall drummer that hopes to make you his wife one day" Finn replied. Rachel could only smile more
As they approached an intersection Rachel lifted her head from Finn's shoulder
"I love you" She said
"I love you too" Finn replied kissing her cheek
Finn pulled out of the intersection not seeing any headlights and then BANG! Something slammed into the side of Finn's truck, Finn had no time to react as his truck was flipped over. Leaving the young couple trapped and unconciouss.
