I own nothing.

"You sent the police after me?" Rach barged through the front door with Finn close on her heels. Her mother rolled her eyes and stopped pacing the floor of the hallway. Her mother, with her long brown hair and nose just like Rach's, looked beyond worried. She just looked pissed off now.

"Yes, we sent the police after you. It's two in the morning, Rachel!" she screamed back. Finn stood in the doorway as her father walked past the quarrelling women and near where Finn was standing to observe the fighting before he stepped in.

"With all due respect sir," Finn said, "it was entirely my fault. I lost track of time. It was none of Rach's fault." Mr Berry just looked at Finn with a hard expression before he stood between his wife and his daughter.

"I'd like to speak with you, Rachie," he said. Rach nodded her head and stayed where she was. "Alone."

"Sir," Finn started again but Mr Berry just got up close to his face and stared.

"Sit down." Finn did as he was told and watched as Mr Berry followed his wife and daughter into his office. Mr Berry sat at his desk and waited for an explanation from his daughter.

"Daddy," Rach began, "I am so sorry. I didn't know what time it was, I swear."

"Oh Rachel!" her mother exclaimed and then she turned to Mr Berry. "She is out foolin' around with that boy until two o'clock in the morning and it has got to stop! I didn't spend seventeen years of my life raising a daughter and giving her everything, so she could throw it away on a summer romance!"

Finn sat outside the room listening to the screaming coming from inside. He cringed every time someone yelled. He hated that Rach was getting into so much trouble because of him. He sat there and thought things through as the screaming continued on inside.

"Daddy!" Rach screamed.

"She will wind up with her heart broken or pregnant! Now he's a nice boy, but he's..." Shelby went on, ignoring the screams from her daughter.

"He's what? He is what? Tell me!" Rach demanded.

"He is trash! Trash! Trash! Not for you!"

"He's not trash!" Rach screamed back. That was it. Finn got up from his seat and began walking towards the door. The screaming continued on inside but he ignored it.

"...know nothing about love!" Rach screamed. She ran out her father's office and through the house. She threw open the front door looking for Finn. "Finn? Finn!"

"Hey," Finn said, turning around. He took Rach in his arms and held her there as she sobbed into his chest.

"I'm so sorry. So, so sorry,"

"Hey, it's okay."

"No. No it's not," Rach defended. It wasn't the slightest bit okay in her books and she didn't understand why he thought it was. Then she saw the look in his eyes.

"Maybe they're right," Finn said, wiping away the tears with his thumb. Rach pushed away from Finn.

"What do you mean?" she asked, tears still falling down her face.

"I mean, let's just wait out the summer and see what happens," Finn clarified. He felt horrible for putting her through this pain. He didn't want to but he thought it was for the best.

"What? No. No, you don't mean that. You don't want that," Rach sobbed.

"I just don't see how it's going to work. You're going to New York and I'm... I'm staying here,"

"No. You can come to New York with me?" Rach asked. It was meant to sound like a statement but it came out as more of a question than a statement. She was still sobbing and Finn's heart was breaking.

"What am I gonna do in New York?"

"Be with me..."

"I'm sorry, Rach," Finn said. "I just don't think it'll work..."

"Are you breaking up with me?"

"We can just finish out the summer and see what happens then."

"Please don't do this, you don't mean it." Rach begged. Finn only stood there and let her yell at him. It broke his heart. "Oh why wait until the summer ends? Why don't you do it right now?" Finn didn't do anything. He just walked towards his car, staying silent. "Huh? C'mon. Do it! Do it!" Rach began to hit Finn in his stomach and on his face until eventually Finn was hitting himself as well. Rach continued on. "You know what? I'm gonna do it! It's over! Okay? It's over."

"Come here." Finn said. He tried to pull her in for a hug but she just pushed him away from her.

"Don't touch me! I hate you! I hate you!"

"Okay. I'm going." Finn opened his truck door to get in the car. He looked back at Rach again, silently begging for her to calm down and take it all back. No such luck.

"Why don't you just go then?" Rach pushed Finn into his truck and slammed the door, narrowly missing his foot in the process. "Get out! Leave!" Rach screamed. She kicked his truck door and Finn slowly started the engine up. Rach continued to rant and rant and rant. "Go!" she screamed and then, "No, no! Just wait a minute; we're not really breaking up are we? Come on. This is just a fight we're having and tomorrow will be like it never happened right?" Finn just drove away.
