Thanks for all the reviews guys, you're all amazing!

"Rach?" Finn said into his phone quizzically; it was really late, why was she calling him? "Is there something wrong?"

"Kind of. I just…"

"You know you can tell me anything, right, Rachel? I know a lot of stuff has happened between us lately, but I'm still your best friend. You can talk to me."

"I know I can, Finn. Thank you." Rachel's smile grew the tiniest amount; he was so thoughtful and caring even though she had put him through so much. She was lucky to have such a great guy always looking out for her.

"So what happened? It's late, did you like have a bad dream or something?"

"Oh god, I'm sorry!" Rachel gasped. She totally forgot about the timezones. He was probably sleeping. "I'm in Los Angeles, I forgot! I'm sorry for waking you! This can wait, you go back to sleep, Finn."

"It's ok," He comforted, knowing by her tone she was freaking out. "I wasn't asleep yet, anyway. But what do you mean you're in Los Angeles? What are you doing on the other side of the country? Do your fathers know? Oh my god, did somebody kidnap you and take you there? Why didn't you call me sooner?"

"Finn, I wasn't kidnapped. Calm down." She heard the sigh of relief from his end of the phone. "Mercedes and I flew to LA to visit Sam because I just had a bad feeling about him being there."

"Oh. Right." Finn didn't particularly want to hear about her loving it up with her boyfriend in California, but he listened anyway because it was Rachel and he'd do anything for her. "So, um, were you right? Did something bad happen?"

"You could say that, yes," Rachel muttered. "I, um, found him in a motel room… with another girl."

"What?" Finn yelled, losing it completely.

"They were just kissing but you know… It looked like it was about to be more. Told me her name was Quinn," Rachel spat out angrily.

"No. Way." Finn was pissed. Sam had this amazing girl dating him, a girl Finn would do absolutely anything for, and what does he do? Cheat on her with some model girl in LA. "On a scale of one to ten, how mad would you be if I punched the living daylights out of him for doing this to you?"

"Eight," Rachel laughed. "Don't do that, Finn. He's not worth it."

"What can I do to help then?" Finn asked. "I want, no, need, to do something."

"I just need a hug," Rachel said wistfully, doing funny things to Finn's heart. She sounded so cute and he wished he could see her face.

"Well then, the moment you get back, I'll give you the biggest, most special Finn Hudson hug ever."

Rachel smiled properly. "Finn, you're the best."

"I know."

"I miss you so much." Finn nodded his head sadly in agreement, even though she couldn't see him. He missed her like crazy and the fact that he couldn't even drive over to see her right now and cheer her up properly was killing him.

"Same here. When do you get back to Ohio?"

"We were going to stay for the whole week, but there's no point now and I don't think I could stick around here, anyway… So, two days tops."

"Can't wait!" Rachel giggled at his cuteness.

The two of them ended up talking over the phone into the early hours of the morning, Finn making stupid jokes to cheer her up and Rachel singing him little songs. It was like the good old days; Rachel loved it.

"So where are we meeting your fathers?" Mercedes asked as the two teenage girls walked through the arrivals at the airport.

"Somewhere around here," Rachel replied, not really paying attention since she was replying to Finn's texts.

Mercedes snatched the phone out of her hand, earning an annoyed huff from the smaller girl. "Come on, diva! The sooner we find your fathers, the sooner we can go home and therefore the sooner you can actually see Finn!"

That got Rachel moving faster. Mercedes rolled her eyes and hurried after the short brunette.

A few minutes later, Mercedes and Rachel were surrounded by hundreds and thousands of people entering and exiting the airport, but one in particular stood out to Rachel.

"Oh my God!" She began running towards them.

"Hi gorgeous," He said sweetly when she reached him. She simply squealed and hugged him tightly. "Happy to see me, I take it?"

"Yes, yes, oh my god, yes!"

Finn chuckled, his eyes sparkling with happiness. He looked away from Rachel to see Mercedes also hurrying towards them.

"Finn! What are you doing here, white boy?"

"I couldn't wait much longer to see Rach so I convinced her fathers to let me pick the two of you up. Thought it would be a nice surprise for when you got off the plane."

"It was certainly a surprise," Mercedes responded. "I jumped out of my skin when I heard Rachel's high pitched squeal. Never seen the girl so excited to see anybody before in my life."

Rachel blushed crimson, quickly hiding her head in her hands before Finn could see.

"Aw, I think it's cute." Rachel moved her hands slightly from her face at his words, to find him beaming at her. "Really cute."

"Really?"

"Totally." He wrapped his arms around his tiny future New Yorker and pulled her into his side.

Rachel could feel her body tingle at the close body contact, but tried to keep her poker face.

"This is adorable and all but can we leave already? I'm exhausted from the flight and just want to take a nap."

"Sure thing." Finn took as much luggage as he could carry from the two girls while still managing to have a hold on Rachel.

-xoxo-

"I'm tired, Finny," Rachel murmured as he pulled his truck into her driveway.

"I know, it was a long flight, b-" He caught himself before he could say 'babe'. They were still only friends. Just friends, he reminded himself. "You should take a nap."

"But I don't want to leave you," She pouted. "Come nap with me."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes," Rachel said defiantly, climbing out of the car. Finn followed suit, taking her hand once the truck had been locked and walking with her to the house.

Finn took her suitcase to her upstairs bedroom, before going back down to the lounge where Rachel was already curled up with a blanket on the sofa.

Finn smiled softly; she was just too cute.

"Come lie with me, Finny." That was an offer he could not refuse and so he quickly went over to the couch and curled up behind her. His arms were wrapped around her waist as they lay together. He pressed a gentle kiss to the back of her head, making her grin to herself.

If anybody had walked in at that moment, they would have thought the two of them were a couple. But they weren't. Just two of the bestest of friends taking a nap together. That wasn't weird, was it?

Whatever, Finn thought to himself. They'd sort their relationship out later; right now he just wanted to sleep with his favourite girl in his arms.

So what do you think? Let me know in the reviews! One more chapter and then an epilogue left of this story and then I'm thinking of doing a sequel... Should I or not?

Thanks again guys!
