This chapter takes place the same day as last chapter, but you get to find out what happened with Finn and where he was. So, here is chapter four, I hope it's not a bore. (Yeah, I just rhymed.)
Oh, and I'd like to say I hope y'all had a good New Years! (I know I did.)

Rachel had just sat down on the couch to read when her best friend walked in, practically singing.
She looked over at the door where Finn stood, smiling from ear to ear. She smiled too, knowing why.
"She said yes?" she asked him.
He looked at her and nodded.
She went back to reading her book as he walked through the living room and into the kitchen, whistling. When he came back in, she looked at him. He couldn't stop smiling she noticed.
"I'm surprised you're here and not with Chloe 'celebrating'," she said, making air quotes around the word celebrating.
"She said she had to go see Mandy," he said, referring to his girlfriend's (now fiancée's) sister. "Something about wanting to show her the ring." He smirked. "Then we're gonna celebrate."
Rachel rolled her eyes. "As long as you don't do it here," she told him, shuddering slightly. "We don't need a repeat of last time."
Finn's face went pink with embarrassment. "We didn't know you were here!" he defended.
Rachel shuddered again, trying not to remember the time she found her best friend and his girlfriend doing it on the kitchen table. She had gotten rid of the table afterwards.
"So," she said, moving on from the subject. "Did you say what I had told you to say?"
"Well, not exactly," he replied.
"What did you say?" she asked, horrified. Finn had never been that good with words, so when he had gone to Rachel asking for her help as to what to say, the two had spent hours working on it.
"Umm…"
Finn and his girlfriend of 2 years, Chloe, were walking through the park, their arms linked. The sun was setting and the park was empty. Finn brought her to the edge of the lake and they sat down in the grass, watching as the sun set. Finn put his arm around Chloe's shoulders, pulling her close.
"This has been really nice, Finn," Chloe told him, smiling. "I love you."
"I love you too," he told her. "And that's why I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
He pulled a box out of his pocket and she gasped, tears welling up in her eyes.
"I know we haven't known each other that long, but since we met, I knew you were the one for me. So," he said, opening the box, revealing a simple diamond ring. "Chloe Marie Parker, will you marry me?"
Chloe stared at him, shocked. She couldn't believe that her boyfriend had just asked her to marry him.
She nodded. "Yes," she said. "Yes, Finn, of course I'll marry you!" she said, throwing herself at him and kissing him.
"…And then she said she needed to see her sister so I dropped her off there and came back here."
"How do you feel?" Rachel asked him.
"Great," he replied, smiling. "Wonderful. Is it illegal to be this happy?"
His phone buzzed and he looked at it. He smiled, reading the text he had just gotten from Chloe.
"Well," he said to Rachel. "I gotta head out. Some things I gotta get from the store."
Rachel snorted, knowing the store wasn't where he was going.
"Don't forget to use protection," she teased him.
His face turned pink again and Rachel laughed.
As Finn walked out the door, however, Rachel felt an unfamiliar feeling in the pit of her stomach. Passing it off as happiness for her best friend, she went back to reading her book.
Finn has a girlfriend and now he's engaged to her? What was that feeling Rachel had? Find out next chapter of It All Started With A Promise.
Oh, and last chapter I got an anonymous review that said something along the lines of 'Elphaba is a female character in Wicked and you should have made Kurt have a different role.' I would just like to say that I know Elphaba is a female character, Wicked is one of my favorite musicals. The reason I made Kurt Elphaba was because I always pictured him as Elphaba. Don't ask why because I don't know why. I would also like to say that that part of the story was a very minor detail and it has nothing to do with the story line, so you didn't need to worry about that, anyways. I'm sorry if this long paragraph sounded rude, but I just wanted to clear that up.
I just realized this chapter was short, so I'll try to make future chapters longer.
Anyways, reviews are love(:
