Chapter 2: You Won't Lose Me
A few days later...
Rachel began her summer at dawn, exercising and practicing vocal exercises. She had to prepare for her junior year, she had to be the best singer in glee club-with the exception of Mercedes. Rachel and Mercedes would often have their diva moments; they were both excellent singers, each with their own strengths.
It was 12pm and her boyfriend hasn't called her. She began to worry. He was probably still sleeping; he had expressed a desire to finally catch up on his sleep during the summer. So Rachel decided to surprise him by going to his house. She asked one of her dads to drop her off.
She was nervous at first to ring the doorbell of the Hudson household, but she wanted to see Finn. So she rang the doorbell. The door opened to show Mrs. Hudson.
"Hi, Mrs. Hudson is Finn home?" she asks politely.
Mrs. Hudson studies the girl. "Rachel? Yes he's in his room," she replies.
Rachel smiles nervously. "Yes, it's nice to meet you," she says as she walks in. Mrs. Hudson leads her to Finn's room. Rachel could hear snoring through the door. How adorable, she thinks to herself.
"I think he's still sleeping, Rachel. I'll wake him up," Mrs. Hudson says.
"Oh no, it's ok, I'll wake him up," Rachel replies. Mrs. Hudson opens the door and Rachel walks in. She giggles at his wallpaper, cowboys. That is so cute, Finn likes cowboys, Rachel thought to herself.
She spots the sleeping body on the bed. Her boyfriend was fast asleep and there is drool on his pillow. She smiles at how adorable he looks asleep. She wonders what he's dreaming about, could it be her? She waits for him to awake from his slumber.
Finn was dreaming about Rachel, for sure, holding her tight and never letting go. Suddenly, Rachel turned into Quinn, then Santana. Finn let her go immediately, Santana? Finn awoke surprised. Rachel was alarmed at Finn jolting in his sleep.
She walks up to him and lays a gentle hand on his shoulder. "Finn? Are you ok? It's me, Rachel," she asks concerned.
Finn turns to see his girlfriend. He smiles as the sunlight hits her and her hair shines. "Rachel," he whispers dreamily.
Rachel smiles and sits down beside him. Finn sits up and takes Rachel into a huge bear hug. "I've missed you," he says as he lets her go.
Rachel exhales. "I've missed you, too. Did you have to suffocate me?" she asks,fixing her blouse.
Finn chuckles. "Sorry, I just had a weird dream and seeing you for real just made me happy," he explains.
"What was your dream about?" she asks.
He sighs. "Us. I was holding you, and then all of a sudden, you changed into Quinn, then Santana. I-I was afraid because, well, it's Santana," he answers.
Rachel looks down at the carpet. "Oh, I don't know what to say."
Finn lifts her head by the chin with his hand. "It doesn't mean anything. You're here and that is all that matters to me."
Rachel stares into his eyes and kisses him on the lips. "I'm glad, but just thinking about you and Santana disgusts me. It's repulsive, Finn."
Finn looked at her confused. He may not be so dumb, but he didn't know what repulsive meant. "I'm sorry. The dream probably means that I'll lose you and I can't have that, I don't want it."
Rachel looks at her boyfriend concerned. "You will not lose me, Finn. I love you and I'm not going anywhere."
Finn relaxes and kisses Rachel again. "I love you, too."
