Disclaimer! I don't own Glee or Finchel!
It had been about two months since Rachel broke up with Finn and everything was going fine. They both agreed to stay friends, even if it was awkward at first. Rachel and Finn were practicing in the auditorium for their latest glee club assignment when Finn dropped the bomb.
"Okay, now that we have finished our vocal warm ups, we can start rehearsing." Rachel said as she straightened out her orange plaid skirt.
"Stop worrying, you look great." Finn said without thinking. They both blushed and stopped talking. After about 5 minutes of awkward silence, Finn spoke.
"Rachel, I need to tell you something." Rachel nodded, signaling him to keep talking. He took a deep breath and started talking.
"I love you. I always have and I always will. When you broke up with me, it killed me. It hurt more than anything I have ever felt." The tall boy began, looking the brunette right in the eye. "After you sang that song to me in glee club, I got why you ended it. But, it still hurt. It made me feel empty inside, ya know?" Rachel nodded again, unable to find any words to respond.
"I don't want to feel like that anymore." He finished with tears in his eyes. The shorter girl took a deep breath to stop herself from crying.
"I understand Finn. And I love you too. But nothing has changed. We both knew that after high school, this was going to be over. We have different dreams and I won't let our relationship stand in the way of them." Rachel said. Finn could tell that she struggled to say what she just said and decided that this way the perfect time to tell her.
"You're wrong." Finn started. Rachel was taken back by his words but waited for him to finish before she commented. "One thing has changed."
"What?" She asked curiously. What could have possibly changed?
"The night we broke up, I sat home and thought of any way I could get you back. I figured out that the only thing keeping us part was college." Rachel nodded and knew that was true. Finn stood up and walked over to his back pack on the piano. He reached into it and pulled out a white paper.
"So, after Kurt helped me get an application, I applied to NYU." Finn said while smiling and handing Rachel the paper. She read the first paragraph and began to cry (tears of joy of course).
"But what about Georgia?" Rachel asked confusedly, still wondering if this was a dream.
"Well, after NYU found out that I was the quarterback of a team that won the state championship two years in a row, they decided to offer me a partial scholarship." Finn explained.
"Yo-You're going to New York?" The young diva asked. I can't believe this is happening.
"No. We're going to New York." Finn said before pulling Rachel into a tight hug. They wrapped their arms around each other, never wanting to let go.
"Together." The quarterback added.
"Together." Rachel repeated is a soft whisper. She pulled out of the hug and stood up onto her tippy toes. She reached her hand behind Finn's head and pulled him into a passionate kiss. It was full of want, passion, and love. They kissed for what felt like days, before Finn pulled away unexpectedly.
"Does this mean were back together?" Finn asked, hoping for a yes.
"Forever." Rachel said softly.
Finn smiled and hugged her again. Usually the word "Forever" made him feel uncomfortable and nervous about the amount of commitment in it. But for once, he made him feel unexplainably safe and happy.
"I love you." He whispered in her ear.
"I love you too." She replied.
