Today was the day; his last chance to bring Rachel back Finn no longer wanted to do this for him he wanted no he needed to do this for Rachel's fathers and her friends he owed it to them because he not only made fun of Rachel but of her friends as well he needed to get Rachel back she couldn't be one more thing that he took from them.
Today was like every day that Finn had had in the past month and a half he woke up put on a t-shirt and some shorts or jeans and walked out the door to go see Rachel.
He walked into the double doors of the hospital doors and there was a different feel in the hospital for him all of the other times he had walked in he knew that Rachel had another day to try and get better but today Rachel wasn't spared that luxury today could be it and that scared the shit out of Finn.
He walked up to her room where she was surrounded by her friends and family "hi Mr. Berry"
"Hello Finn"
"Guys why don't we give Finn some space you can all come back in an hour"
Every one left but Finn gained some glares from Kurt on the way out.
"Thanks" Finn said glad he gained some alone time with Rachel.
Rachel's fathers walked out of the room leaving Finn with Rachel.
Finn took his regular seat next to Rachel taking his hands in hers "Rachel it's me Finn I need you to wake up Rachel they want to give up they want to let you go they say that your scared and you don't want to come out of you coma but Rachel you have to I can't live with myself knowing that your gone too. You don't even know how special you have become to me. I know we haven't ever talked before but I love you Rachel I really mean it I love you I want the chance to at least be your friend if you let me"
What is he talking about they want to kill me if I don't wake I just don't feel ready knowing that Finn loves me what if I am a disappointment when I wake what if things go back to the way before. What if this is all an act so I will wake up I can't deal with any more rejection that's why I like it here I am safe no one can harm me. But he said if I don't wake there going to let me slip away and go I can't have that I have so much to live for in the future.
Finn felt that Rachel could hear her and that meant that she understood what was happening. Well it was now or never thought Finn it was time to finally sing.
Finn sat down on the spot on Rachel's bed that wasn't being occupied and took Rachel's hands in his and kissed each one "Rachel I have been working on this for quite a while and I really hope it helps to express how I feel and how you need to come back to us.
Finn started to sing the song that he worked on whenever he wasn't at the hospital he worked very hard to make it perfect for Rachel.
(Italics are Rachel bold is Finn I recommend to put this song on while reading it and be sure to read the lyrics there's dialogue throughout the song between the two)
This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
Finn began strong he had made her wait all these years she had liked him all along and he was too blind to see that he like her too and it was too late
Is Finn singing big popular football player he really is real he really is trying to get me to wakeup he does care for me it's not a joke he is actually singing something I have dreamed off he actually has a really nice voice. Leave it to Rachel for that being the thing noticed
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
Finn came in with the chorus he had loved her along he had just been too far away him being the popular dick to really see her if she were to die he would stop breathing he was putting his all into this song still holding her hand tears streaming down his face.
Rachel there is nothing for you to be afraid of come on get through this he cares for you he finally cares for you wake up open your eyes.
On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
This was Finns last chance to safe Rachel.
Just then Rachel moved her hand a little and it was detected by Finn he felt it.
Come on Rachel wake up please wake up your safe you have him now think about everyone that loves you.
So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know
Rachel felt his hands in hers and she gave his a gentle squeeze
It's working thought Finn keep sinning you almost have her fight for her keep going. Now there were multiple tears down his face.
I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
I love you too Finn I need you Rachel now more than ever knowing that she was loved and that it was time to finally wake up
My plan is working she has moved her hand come on keep singing she's going to get through this it's working.
Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
I know I am safe I can do this. Just then Rachel opened her eyes staring at Finn he was even more handsome than ever she could see the tears in her eyes.
"Rachel oh my god I did it Rachel your awake let me go get the doctors.
Finn rushed out of the room and found Rachel's main doctor
"Rachel has awoken she awake please come quick"
Everybody in the lobby had heard Finn and came rushing to his side the doctor instructed everybody to wait there until they could evaluate Rachel properly. Finn didn't care he was just happy that Rachel was finally awake she was going to be okay; she was going to live.
The doctor went to check out Rachel and sure enough she was awake staring at him.
"Hello Rachel welcome back"
"How long have I been sleeping?"
"Almost two months it's been a while it's almost august"
"Oh"
"Do you remember what happened Rachel?"
"Yes I was driving home and someone ran a red light and they hit me the last thing I remember seeing was headlights"
"Very good Rachel"
"I want Finn where is Finn go get him for me please"
"I need to run some tests first"
"NO I WANT HIM NOW FINN GET ME FINN"
"Rachel I can't"
"I will do anything you want just go get me him I need to make sure it's real I need to see him"
The doctor knew that he wasn't going to win this one and gave up and went to go get the boy and alert everybody of Rachel's condition.
It had felt like hours but the doctor finally came out and made an announcement "Rachel had awoken she remembers everything there is no memory loss she remembers the accident but she won't do anything until I get someone named Finn"
"That's me" Finn stood up walking towards the man.
"Well you can come with me but until I run some tests which shouldn't take more than an hour you can all go see her"
"Why does she want you after everything you have put her through you of all people she wants you this is so unfair"
"Kurt we can't help what Rachel wants we should be grateful that she even can want anybody at all she could still be in a coma" said one of her fathers.
Finn walked into Rachel's room like he had so many times before but only this time Rachel she was awake.
Finn was ready to finally see Rachel but he was also kind of nervous.
Finn walked into her room and sat down in the chair next to her like he always had "Doctor Can we please have a moment I promise that I will do whatever you want after I have a minute with him "
"Fine I will be back in 20 minutes no later Rachel then you will do as I asked understood?"
"Yes"
"Hello Finn" wow he had been waiting for her to say that for so long and now that the day was finally there he was really scared.
"Now Finn I am going to get right into it I have heard everything that you have been saying and I need to know is all of it true?"
"Yes Rachel every word of it I promise''
"Well I need you to prove it to me were going to be friends to start I know everything from the first time you came to see me I am sorry about Puck I know you were close"
It really amazed Finn that Rachel knew everything that he had said and that she could hear him all along.
"I understand that this is going to take a while and I am willing to prove you that I am here for you that I meant every word I have said that you are special and that I am changing for you; you have opened my eyes and made me realize that I needed to become a better person"
"I know that Finn but I want to become your friend first I need to know that this isn't for pity that you are serious about being in my life because I have had so much let down in the past as you know my life hasn't been a walk in the park how do I know that you're serious"
Finn knew that this was going to be a long battle but Rachel was worth it.
"I have given up everything for you to change I'm done with football, Quinn and all of those losers me included who made your life hell. I will admit that I did pity you before but not now i want to get to know you I want to change I don't want to be that guy who runs around throwing things at people you have seen me act like that and I want to introduce you to the guy you have helped me become"
"Okay Finn but if I find out that you're playing me then I might die not literally but emotionally it will be the kind of heartbreak that girls like me hold for the rest of their lives."
"I promise Rachel what can I do to show you that I have change?"
"please just be my friend be here for me when I need you which will be a lot I am high maintenance which is full of surprises so please just be my friend before my boyfriend I know you love me Finn I heard you but we need to be rational about this take things slow; not rush into things you need to get to know me you can't say you love you don't know me"
"I promise Rachel I will always be your friend I will always be here for you I don't care how high maintenance you are I am looking forward to all of your surprises and I am not doing this for a joke my song meant everything to me I meant every work of it and I am willing to be your friend first before we rush into these thing" Finn explained tears pouring down his face.
"Finn don't cry" she said leaning over brushing them from his face "it's going to be okay I am here now I will always be here"
"Me too Rachel I am just so happy that you're here that I am actually talking to you now it's all so great"
The doctor came in a few minutes later "okay Rachel time for your tests"
"Can Finn stay?"
"Yes as long as you're both under control."
"Okay Finn will you sit with me?"
"Of course"
Finn sat with Rachel on the other side of her bed Rachel had to sit up as well so she could get her tests done.'
They were all going well just a lot of questions when her birthday was where she was going to school just to test her memory. The last test the doctor got a flash light to check Rachel's sight he pointed it in both of her eyes and that's when something in Rachel clicked. She suddenly had a flashback of last thing she saw of that scary night.
The moment the light was put in her face Rachel saw the headlights on Puck's car "Finn" she screamed and jumped into his arms. "Doctor I think that is enough"
"It's okay Rachel it's going to be okay"
Both Rachel and Finn finally believed it Rachel was in Finn's arms and she was glad she finally had a friend Finn had given up so much for Rachel and she was finally getting the attention she desired from him but would it last when they went back to school only time would tell and that scared both of them more than they would ever admit to.
