Rachel couldn't take it anymore. Finn has been so insisting lately with getting her to talk to him it was crazy. Whenever she went anywhere or went to do something he was there. Santana was in her fourth month and was showing. So McKinley started putting the pieces together that Finn was the father. Rachel was walking to the auditorium for some alone time when she felt a jacket around her shoulders, she quickly shrugged it off until she realized who it was. "Puck, you scared me!" She yelled holding her chest.
"Woah woah princess, I'm not Hudson!" Puck laughed as he wrapped his arm around the brunette. Rachel and Puck have been inseparable since the whole baby madness happened. Puck was a good friend for Rachel and Rachel was grateful for it.
Rachel playfully slapped his chest and laughed, "Puck, you scared me! God, don't do that!" As they continued to walk towards the auditorium she asked, "So what's up?"
"Nothing, just figured you needed a friend. I mean i saw you making googilly eyes at Hudson this morning and thought you might need someone." She smiled and nodded. As they entered the auditorium she walked straight toward the piano bench and laid her head down on the keys.
"Why can't i get him out of my head? I mean he's going to be a dad for goodness sakes. I shouldn't love him Puck and i promise you i'm trying not to but its like we have a connection or something. Am i crazy?" She asked with a single tear running down her cheek.
Puck sat next to her and wiped away the tear from her eye, "No, your just human. I still feel that way about Beth and even Quinn. I mean everyday i feel like i could have done something to prove to her that i would have been a responsible father for Beth even if Quinn didn't want her i always did. Your not wrong for loving something that can never be no matter how much you want it."
Rachel nodded and turned back to the piano, sinking in Puck's words. Knowing he was right she decided to move on right there and only look back at this as a memory.
Puck walked into the choir room with Rachel a little later than the meeting began. Walking to their chairs together smiling, Rachel looked over at Finn who had a concerned look in his eye. She just shrugged it off and sat down. Mr. Shuester looked over at them and asked,"Rachel, Puck i hope you have a fairly good explanation as to why you were late to glee?"
Rachel and puck looked at each other waiting for the other to say something when Rachel stepped up and said, "We were just rehearsing a number, not realizing how late we were for the club. It won't happen again." Mr. Shue nodded and didn't think anything of it until Santana spoke up.
"I think you and Puck were doing a little more then your letting on. I mean i think you should move on since Finn is currently occupied with me and his future spawn." She snickered.
"Leave her alone Santana!" Finn said forcefully. He looked over at Puck and Rachel giving them his signiture half smile as an apology for the words Santana spoke.
"What? Can't i just be a little curious as to what your ex girlfriend and my ex boyfriend were doing in an empty auditorium?" This turned a few heads. Now most of the team was looking at Puck and Rachel. Finn had to admit he was a little curious as to what was going on.
Rachel couldn't take it anymore she stood up from her seat and stood facing the glee club. "What i do, and who i do it with shouldn't concern any of you! All of you claim to be my friend and some of you are but some-" She was glaring directly at Santana. "_ are just pretending. I want it to stop NOW! Puck has been there for me through everything that has happened this year and last. He is the only person that knows what it feels like to lose someone you love and never get them back. Puck and i are just friends and that's the way its going to stay unless something changes. So just stay out of my business ok?" She walked toward the door and stormed out leaving the new Directions pondering on what just happened.
Finn then stood up and ran after her not even staying long enough to hear Puck yelling at him to stay and give her time. He looked all over for her, the auditorium, the cafeteria but then he found her in the library. She was crying silently at an empty table. "Rach?" he asked putting his hand on her back.
"Stay away from me!" She yelled. "Don't you understand that i don't need you! I don't want you to come looking for me, and i don't need your pity."
Finn sat in the chair next to her and whispered, "Don't you know by now that i will always come looking for you wether you like it or not. We're tethered so whenever your upset i feel it. I know your going through a hard time right now with Santana and me but please just talk to me!"
Rachel shook her head, "Don't you understand that i can't! Your having a baby with her and for the next 18 years of that baby's life your going to be stuck with Santana. I just can't Finn, you know i love you and you know i want to spend the rest of my life with you but its just to hard knowing that i'm never going to have a piece of you that Santana does." She took a breather and continued. "Wait she actually took two pieces of you that i wont have and one is your virginity and two is having your first child. Us, me and you are never going to have that. I know you think that we can work through this and work it out but i can't."
Finn shook his head and said, "Rach, she may have all that but you know what she won't have and that is my heart. That will always belong to you in the long run. We are going to have a family one day and we are going to live happily ever after. Plus you are going to be a great step mom to my kid. They will love you just as much as i do, i promise. So what do you say give me another chance?"
I am so sorry this is late! I tried to type it earlier but that didnt work out. So i hope you like and i'll write more when my power comes back.
So what do you think will happen between Rachel and Finn? What about Rachel and Puck?
