Her phone buzzing woke Rachel up. Sleepily she reached for it to read the text, 'Hey i know its early but its quinn this is my number :) xxxx' Rachel smiled, "I forgot i wasn't in New York" She got out of bed and made herself some toast. Rachel was meeting Kurt at 1ish she had 4 hours to get ready. She collected the post and opened some fan mail then logged on to twitter again 'morning everyone think today could be a great day little reunion between old friends!" She didnt bother looking at mentions as she wanted to get some shopping in. She quickly got dressed and went out.

"Rachel Berry, mum its Rachel Berry!" Rachel smiled to herself, and walked down an aisle to get some more milk, "Well if it isnt Rachel Berry!" Rachel shut her eyes and flinched as Karofsky walked towards her then she realized they werent in high school aymore. "Hey im not gonna throw a slushie in you face!" He said, "Sorry force of habbit." He laughed, "I understand completly i get it all the time!" Rachel didnt know whether to laugh or not, "How have things been then, i know your kinda famous now!" She smiled, "Okay i guess not used to being back here at all though." David smiled at her, "So how have you been!" He shrugged, "Alright, still stuck here in ohio though. Still could be worse!" They chatted for a while but he soon had to leave, 'Glad thats over' Rachel thought to herself. She reached up for the milk and went to the checkout.


Finn got out of Bed and sat on his sofa, he sighed knowing he had nothing to do today. "Im 26 its a saturday and im doing nothing with my life!" He turned on the TV and started flicking through the channels, he settled on watching Grease. "God i remember singing that with Rachel!" He laughed as it came to an end. He smiled, "Right Finn, Rachel has moved on with her life so its time for you to as well, you are married to a wonderful girl Rachel has probebly forgotten all about you now. Time to move on!" He got dressed and picked up his car keys and left, "Lets go for a drive." He said to himself and got into his car heading in a random direction. It didnt take him long till he drove down Rachels road, he looked at her house out his window, the lights were on, "Dads must still be home" He thought and drove off. He stopped at the end of a road, "Right where do i go from here?" He thought about meeting up with Mike but realized he and Brittney would be working, Puck was in vagus so that was a no, Arite would be working as well. "Blaine it is then!" He drove round to Kurt and Blaine's to see them.

"Hey guys!" He said said as Blaine opened the door, "Finn what are you doing here?" Blaine said smiling and invited him in. Finn noticed Kurt looked dressed up, "Where you off to?" He asked, Kurt smiled, "Off to meet up with a friend!" Finn smiled, "Who?"

"Oh no one big!" Blaine looked at Kurt and grabbed his arm, he whispered in his ear, "Why didn't you tell him its Rachel!" Kurt frowned, "Because if he knows he will want to come, you saw what he was like when she left, they will see each other soon but we need to prepare him, take him out Blaine keep him happy for a while!" Blaine sighed, "Im against this!" He let go of Kurt's arm and sat by Finn who was watching the X factor, "Didnt think this was your sort of show!" He said laughing. Finn smiled, "I dunno why im watching it i guess i wanna see Mercedes walk on the stage!" Blaine smiled, "I want to see that to! She moved to LA for the reason to become big, kinda like Rachel!" Kurt coughed, "Ahem Blaine, Finn im gonna go now, see you later perhaps you should go to the bar down the street." Blaine smiled, "Or perhaps breadsticks! That sounds like a good idea, can we join you and your old friend!" Kurt gave Blaine a cold stare, "Is there some sort of tension between you two?" Finn asked hoping he didn't interrupt anything between them, "No its fine i'm just being stupid!" Blaine said backing down and letting Kurt win, "Well i'll be off now, see you later!" Kurt left without saying another word. "Are you sure you guys are okay?" Blaine sighed, "We are fine its just, he is doing something i don't agree with, thats all." Finn looked confused, "What is it, nothing serious i hope!" Blaine put his head back, "Nothing serious i just know someone is going to get hurt from it thats all!" Finn looked at Blaine, "Well i guess you do what you think is right!" Blaine sighed, he looked at Finn staring at the TV, "Oh god!" He thought gulping. "Finn i have to tell you something!"


"Hello there Miss Rachel Berry!" Rachel grinned, "Kurt! Long time no see!" Kurt smiled and the two hugged. They found a table and got chatting, "So how have things been then!" Kurt smiled, "Well im still with Blaine!" Rachel smiled, Kurt had the opportunity to come with Rachel to New York but his love for Blaine was too strong so he stayed, when Blaine graduated instead of moving to New York like his plan was they found a place in Lima and stayed there. "Honestly, i don't see my self on stage. i would love for that to happen, but i don't see myself doing anything but what im doing now and thats running a stage club at the local theatre. You should pop by and motivate everyone!" Rachel smiled, "I'd love to!" They moved onto the conversation of everyone else, "Of corse everyone is still in Lima, except for you, Puck, Santanna and Mercedes. We don't know where Santanna went but Mercedes is in LA hopefully living out her dream too!" Rachel smiled and imagined Mercedes singing to thousands and going on a world tour! "I hear she has a few gigs coming up! Facebook was going crazy!" Rachel smiled, she missed her chats with Kurt sometimes. "Gosh its been so long, 8 years since we last saw each other!" Kurt laughed, "Heres to another great 8 years though!" He raised his glass and she raised hers, they clinked them and drank their wine. After a moments silence Rachel said, "Hey Kurt we are close friends right, even if we haven't seen each other in a while?" Kurt sipped his drink and smiled, "Rachel in my mind we have been and always will be very close friends!" Rachel smiled, "Good because i wanna ask you something!" She took a deep breath, "Who is Natasha?"


Finn placed his head in his hands, "Are you sure?" Blaine nodded. Finn rubbed his eyes and stared at the ground, he could believe this. "You defiantly didn't get it wrong?" Blaine shook his head, "Finn i saw the twitter posts, its defiantly her 100%" Finn shook his head in disbelief, "Why didn't Kurt tell me!" Finn looked up at Blaine who shrugged, "Because when she left you were out of it for ages, then Natasha came along and you livened up so much!" Finn sighed, "Well i wanna see her!" Blaine shook his head, "No way man, Kurt will kill me if he finds out i told and besides your married now!" Finn looked at his wedding ring, "I just wanna see an old friend of mine!" Blaine stood in front of Finn for a while then sighed, "Fine but don't do anything to hurt Natasha Finn, she is a sweet girl and you are lucky to have her!" Finn looked at Blaine, "I won't i just wanna see Rachel, its been 8 years!" Finn brushed aside Blaine, "Don't worry i wont tell him you told me!" Blaine shook his head, 'Im so dead' He thought to himself.


"How do you know about Natasha?" Kurt asked. "Quinn told me, she only said Finn and her were married!" Rachel looked at her plate of pasta, even now she felt a lump as she said that line. Kurt frowned, "Well Rachel, when you left Finn was a little upset. Mike managed to drag him out of bed and down to a club where he met Natasha!" Kurt paused and Rachel nodded, 'A club, isn't the most romantic of places' she thought to herself, "He is happy you know Rachel, they are great together!" Kurt gave Rachel a pathetic smile which she returned, "Well as long as he is happy!" She said, "Im glad he has found someone because its what i was worried about when i left, that he wouldn't be able to move on!" Kurt laughed, "You sound like the Rachel Berry i knew in high school! Some people never change Rachel Berry and you are one of them!" Rachel raised an eyebrow then started laughing too. They soon stopped and Kurt broke the silence, "So is there a man i your life?" He asked, Rachel shrugged, "No, not at the moment! I tried it and it failed." Kurt laughed, "Well you are always better off single!" She smiled, the truth was she could never get over leaving Finn behind, she just had to accept it was over now.


Finn drove to breadsticks and parked the car, he couldn't face getting out. "What am i going to do, walk in like hey Rachel just thought i'd say im married but i still love you!" He said to himself. He hit his hand on the steering wheel. "Come on Finn man up! Go in there like you had something to do, then casually make conversation with her, like you do when you haven't seen someone in a while." He stepped out of his car and walked into the restaurant. He looked for them and found them. He paused, there she was, Rachel Berry! Still as beautiful as ever! He took a step forward but someone called his name. He turned around and saw Natasha standing there, "Finn!" She gave him a hug, "I know this is stupid but i came back because i felt bad, I didn't want to leave my Finny alone." She reached up on tiptoes due to height difference and kissed him, "I just popped in to use the bathroom then i see you, its mad! What are you doing here!" Finn looked at the table Rachel was sitting at, she hadn't noticed him and he wasn't going to hurt Natasha, "Just seeing if Kurt was here, Blaine was wondering!" Natasha smiled, Well then we should go home, I took the bus, did you bring the car?" Finn nodded taking Natasha's hand and they walked out. Finn took one glance back at Rachel, "She is over you Finn, you can't be anymore than friends any way, seeing Natasha was fate, you can see her again later, with Natasha, their gonna get on great!" He thought, but he knew this wasn't true, we wished Natasha hadn't been there! He wished Rachel hadn't moved to new your! He wished he had gone with her!
