A/N: Here's another chapter! Thank you everyone! Enjoy :)
Finn's POV
The Reception pt.1
I can't believe I did this to Mr. Schue. I am supposed to be his best man! And what do I do? Go kiss the bride two days before the wedding! If there is a record for being the worst ever best man in the history of the world, I'm holding it. Why would I do this? Oh yeah, because of Rachel. How could our relationship have gotten so messed up? I should have forgave her for kissing that Brody guy.. She never actually did anything wrong, and now she is shacked up with Mr. Broadway Brody! And I am actually to blame for them kissing, too, you you look at it my way...
I was too ashamed to call her after being discharged from the army. But she deserved to know that I was safe. It's the army, who knows, I could have been dead! Four months. I guess things really didn't change for me since high school. I'm still in Lima, still in glee club (kinda), still best friends with Mr. Schue, still living with my mom and Burt, and most if all, I'm still an idiot.
Although for Rachel, things are definitely different. I mean, look at her! She dresses like a ... never mind that thought. She is "shacked up" with some guy she isn't even dating, she lives in New York, she probably hooks up with that Brody guy frequently, and worst of all, she actually believes this is who she is. But no matter how much she will protest, I know for a fact that this is not Rachel Berry. And this is not the girl I love. Every day, I see the real Rachel die a little. But I can still see her, if I look deep, deep down under all her false reality and makeup. That is why I still love her. This girl who I see in front of me right now is Rachel Berry. I know this, because sometimes, she says something that helps me see her. The real her. The her that I will love for the rest of my life.
"This isn't your fault, you know." Rachel said as she sat down next to me. Though I didn't believe her, I appreciated the thought. "Thanks, but I'm not so sure." "Finn, I have an extensive collection of runaway bride movies that tell me one random kiss isn't the reason for this!" "You were always there for me when we were in high school. Maybe you haven't changed as much as I thought." I was smiling. Partly to myself, but mostly to her. She looked a little disappointed. "That's a horrible thing to say and its not true. I've changed very much since I moved to New York." "Rachel, just because you change where you live, or your wardrobe, or even your boyfriend, there are some things, like yourself, that can never change. And as far as I'm considered, for you. That's a blessing." "Thank you, Finn... Well, it isn't everyday that we are in the same city, so let's dance!" Maybe the old Rachel wasn't that out of my reach..
