Author's Note: Thank you all for reviewing! PLEASE REVIEW ONCE YOU'RE DONE READING THIS CHAPTER! Now on with 'The One Where There's A Band'!
**Finn's POV**
"Ishould have never agreed to go on the road with all these boys," Rachel whines in a joking tone.
We are now on our way to Pennsylvania for our first stop on the five state tour. After Pennsylvania we go to Ohio, then we head back and go to New Jersey, Connecticut, and lastly at Massachusetts.
I look back at her where she's lying down on the couch. Her short legs that seem to go on forever are propped up onto the table and her feet are tapping the air to the beat of the music on my iPod.
She's wrinkling her nose in the cutest way possible and I just want to get up and cuddle next to her.
I grin like a fool at her and she starts to giggle when Puck starts tossing popcorn at her.
"Hey, hey! It's Hudson's jam!" Puck exclaims when 'More Than a Feeling' by Boston comes on.
I roll my eyes and sigh loudly in frustration.
"Why is this Finn's song?" Rachel asks confusedly.
"Oh, well when we were in high school, the first time we went to a school dance-."
"Shut the hell up, Puckerman," I warn.
"No, no, no!" Rachel exclaims, moving her legs and tucking them underneath her. "Please tell me, Finny."
"Go on," I groan to Puck, my cheeks already turning a bright red.
"Well anyways, we went to a school dance for the first time and this song came on and Hudson broke out into this strange ass dancing and people videotaped it and it was online. He was made fun of for our entire freshman year," Puck explains.
Rachel bites her lip and covers her face before letting out her loud laugh. My face feels really hot and I'm so embarrassed. I'm a joke to Rachel. I'm just some silly friend and that's all I will be.
But I suppose that's better than nothing.
I feel a light touch on my shoulder and I peer through my fingers that are splayed across my face. Rachel is standing in front of me and tugging my free hand, trying to get me to stand up.
"Come on, Finny, dance with me," She giggles.
"No, you'll laugh."
"I've danced with you before," She points out.
"Okay, and your blood alcohol level was what exactly?"
She glares at me and I let out a small chuckle before standing up. And it's worth it when I see the beautiful, bright smile spread across her face.
"I close my eyes and I slip away!" She belts out and spins around. I move around her and start doing funny dance moves.
"Shopping cart!" She calls out.
Puck and Sam are laughing at us and we just keep dancing away and it's fun. Everything with Rachel is fun. She's so special and I just really lo-.
Like her. I just really like her.
There's a bump in the bus and Rachel stumbles into my arms. I protectively wrap my arms around her as I fall backwards with a loud thud to the floor of the tour bus.
"Oh," I groan.
"Oh," Rachel squeaks but makes no means to move.
She looks me in the eyes and asks me, "Are you alright?"
I nod slowly and everything seems to blur around us. The feel of her small body closely pressed against mine… it's too much for me to handle.
I clear my throat awkwardly and she blushes slightly before getting up and moving back to the couch.
"Alright, that's enough fun for now. I must get some rest," She announces. "I highly suggest you follow my suit."
Crawling off the floor and onto a bed, I shut my eyes and listen to the breathing of my band mates. My best friends.
**Rachel's POV**
"Thank you guys! We're heading over to the festival for a meet and greet and to have fun! See you all there!" I shout into the microphone before turning around and jumping up and down excitedly.
It had been too long since I've performed for an audience. The feeling is great; adrenaline pumps through my system. Nothing can make me feel as good as my music does. After packing up we drive over to the Great Park and I smell beer, caramel apples, hot cider, and hot chocolate. It's the perfect end-of-east-coast-winter festival. Not to mention Pennsylvania is beautiful.
The four of us get escorted (by security! I have a body guard! Well, not really, but it still counts!) and we sit down at a long black table. A crowd of people move in to us and I have to readjust my eyesight when camera flashes blur my vision.
"We love you Finn!" A chorus of young girls cry, trampling over to the table and slapping down a picture of Finn drumming.
He looks incredibly sexy, of course, with his drumming face on. And he has the slightest smirk forming. Mmm.
"Could you please put 'Love' on there?" The pretty blonde pleads.
Finn looks up and smiles, turning his charm on, "I suppose so. But only for you girls."
He winks and I try to not roll my eyes but it happens anyways. He's such a damn player. But why wouldn't he be? He's handsome, funny, charming, completely likable…
"Alrighty, there you go," Finn pushes it back to them.
They squeal so loudly I have to resist plugging my ears.
"Oh my god, it smells like him! I need to take this to Macy's and have one of the workers figure out what brand it is!"
They move away and I notice that a large group of people are coming in by us. I'm really surprised when I see some of them with merchandise that has our band's name on it. They have pictures, shirts, posters, post cards, and was that a baby jumper that Sam just signed?
"Hi! How are you?" I ask sweetly to my next fan. I have fans!
"Fantastic! You guys are so awesome!" The boy responds. "And you're all kinds of sexy."
He's handsome, I can say that much. He has light brown hair and grey eyes. He's shorter, but has defined muscles.
I grin and blush slightly. Some people had told me I was pretty, but never sexy.
"Who am I signing this to?" I ask him.
"Make it out to Matt," He responds.
"Alright," I smile and start to write. "To Matt: You're too sweet! Keep on charming!"
He chuckles slightly and takes the photo from me.
"Thank you so much, Rachel," He softly speaks.
"No problem, Matt."
"What was with that guy?" Finn asks.
"Who, Matt?"
"Yeah," He glares coolly towards the shorter boy who is now walking away. "Matt."
"He was really nice, Finn!" I defend.
"Oh yeah, he was being nice because he's a good kid. He wants to get in your pants, Rachel!" He scoffs.
I roll my eyes, "Hey, big brother, settle down. I'm not that naïve. He was just an adoring fan, just like all those girls who come up to you."
I watch him get ready to shoot back but he just presses his lips together and slouches, dropping the conversation completely.
I actually find it endearing that he's looking out for me.
Later on in the night we look at each other and it's a long gaze, super comforting. I smile brightly and poke his arm. He smiles widely, the one where you can see his large dimples, and pokes me back before we all head to the bus.
It's as if that one action mended over any problem that was there.
"Ready for the Gruesome Twosome to come back, Ohio?" Noah hollers loudly.
I let out a loud laugh, "I don't even want to know what kind of trouble you guys got into."
Slipping into the small bunk bed, I can't help but smile brightly as I fall asleep.
OoO
There you go! Next chapter will be longer! They're going to Ohio, which means Rachel will meet Carole, Burt, Kurt, and Blaine! Exciting! Hope you guys enjoyed this! PLEASE REVIEW!
Here's another spoiler for my one shots: Christopher Allen Hudson (Finn and Rachel's son) will NOT be musically talented. What will he be good at? :O However, they're daughter Sophie Annabelle Hudson, will be extraordinary.
