Chapter 7: The End
It's THE LAST CHAPTER!
RACHEL
After Finn kissed me, he held my face in his hands. We stared into each others eyes until Finn closed his eyes. I closed my eyes, trying to keep the moment for as long as possible. His forehead leaned down on mine. Just that small contact and his hands holding my face gave me chills, but the good kind. This moment just felt so perfect. Then, I realized I no longer felt Finn's hands. I opened my eyes, only to discover that he was gone. I closed my eyes once more, feeling the tears squeezing through my closed eyes and sliding down my cheeks. I clutched my chest, feeling a sadness and an emptiness overwhelm me. I hadn't noticed how much I'd come to love Finn. Yet I had picked Jesse over Finn. What a huge and stupid mistake on my part.
The days passed. I didn't pay much attention to anything. The sadness and pain and longing were still there. I couldn't think of anything but Finn. Jesse knew something was up, but he didn't bother me about it.

Time went by, but I didn't care. I missed Rachel so much. I didn't know what would happen next, but I just didn't care. Meeting her had changed me so much. As I talked to my friend and mentor Bob, he noticed how sad I was. He knew of what had happened between me and Rachel, so he tried to help me. But the only thing that could make me feel better was Rachel. He talked about how things could've been different. "Well, they're not. As much as I hate it, this is the way things are," I practically screamed. I just couldn't take it. A few days ago, I hadn't known what love was. Now I did and I had even experienced it. I couldn't go back to living without it, without Rachel.
Bob looked at me. "I think I might have a solution to your problem."
RACHEL
I was walking through the halls of McKinley High School before school started. As president of many clubs, I'm always busy. But today I was actually feeling happy because I had just finished writing my very own musical. And I felt very proud of it. I was confident that when I made it to Broadway I'd be able to perform my musical for my adoring fans. As more students began to arrive, I started making my way to my locker.
Just as I was turning my lock, I had this feeling that I just had to turn around. I saw Karofsky just as he was about to slushy me. I closed my eyes, waiting for the moment when I'd feel the cold, sticky drink hit it never came. So, tentatively, I opened my eyes. I saw a guy standing in front of me, drenched in the slushy. "Oh."
He wiped his eyes and stood there, not quite knowing what to do. I realized that he must've taken the slushy for me. I grabbed his hand and led him to the bathroom. I put a chair against the sink and told him to sit down and lean back. I washed his face and hair. When I was done, he opened his eyes and just stared at me.I stared back, feeling as if I'd met him before.
"Umm, thanks for taking that slushy for me. I'm Rachel, by the way." I held out my hand and helped him stand up.
"I know," he said, smiling goofily."I'm Finn."
We continued standing there and staring at each other, until he broke the silence.
"Hey, you wanna hang out at lunch? It could be your way of repaying me."
I smiled. " I'd like that."
So this is the last chapter! I know I could've made it longer, but I just had to end it. I'm thinking that since this is my first fanfic, it probably wasn't that good. So later, I might revisit this and rewrite some parts, add in chapters, and make it better. Thanks to everyone who reviewed or followed me or this story. Please review and don't forget to follow me on twitter! ( erika_ jas99)
