"HE SAID WHAT?" Mercedes slammed her hand on the table
"What a jerk" Sam muttered
"Girl, you need to forget about him. For real this time. He's playing both of you" Mercedes said
"I can't just forget about him" Rachel said, picking at her food with her fork.
As much as she wanted to let him go, she couldn't.
"What about Puckerman? He's single" Sam suggested
"I don't think we need another Puckleberry incident" Mercedes joked, making all three of them start laughing
"Uh, Hi guys" They all looked up. It was Finn. Their smiles faded.
"What do you want?" Mercedes growled
"I would like to talk to Rachel. Alone" he said
Mercedes wasn't moving. She was really protective of Rachel, and wasn't going to let her get hurt.
"C'mon Mercedes, I think there's some tots with your name on them" Sam said, trying to give Finn and Rachel some privacy. She rolled her eyes and went with Sam.
Finn sat down across from Rachel.
"Hi"
"Hey" Rachel said flatly, not looking up from her plate.
"I talked to Quinn this morning"
"And" Rachel pretended to be annoyed, when really, her heart was racing.
"I told her that I don't want to be with her. I want to be with you" Finn smiled
Rachel looked up.
"Really?" Rachel's face lit up
"Yes. I was just settling for Quinn. When really, It's been you all along" he took her hands.
"I love you, Rachel"
