Love is a Beautiful Thing Chapter 9: The Talk, a glee fanfic

Hey everyone! Thank you for all reviewing my last chapter! I love making you guys happy with my story! Now this may be a little later than usual…but that is because I got an AMAZING beta! VoiceInMyHead is my new beta…so let's give her a hand!

Now for my favorite reviewer…Bettakappa! Thank you for having so much faith in Finn and agreeing with my "man-diva" comment! Remember…I love all my reviewers and all my readers that don't review as well! But it would mean a lot for you to review :)

Well…for once in my life I don't have anything else to add! You all know what is going to happen in this chapter…so I guess I only have one thing left to say. I hope you all enjoy chapter 9 of "Love is a Beautiful Thing"!

Disclaimer: I do not own the song "Everything I do, I do it for you." I do not own the song "Pray for You" by Jason and The Long Road to Love (I listened to it on repeat while I wrote this chapter. Got some inspiration! Youtube it…good and funny song!) I do not own Glee or any of its characters! If I did…Finn and Rachel would have been honest about their virginity! Lol!

"Looks like we have something to talk about." I said, sitting on the edge of my bed. Jesse smirked arrogantly at me and I snarled my nose. Why did I even date this jerk? Oh right, to get over the boy outside the door! That went well!

"Rachel, talking isn't going to get us anywhere. Just face the fact that I am a better choice for you then…freak boy outside." He said, pointing to the door. One thing that everyone should know about me is this. Rachel Berry has a temper.

"IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE, I WOULD WATCH WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT MY BOYFRIEND!" I screamed, getting visibly angry! He kind of shrunk back in his seat at my outburst, but still just smiled. Jerk.

"Fine Rachel. But I still make a fine point. He doesn't understand you like I do. He isn't star material like you and I. Face it Rachel, we are the same person. Just a different gender." He told me. I laughed at that. No way was I like Jesse. I was not a stalker!

"Finn understands me more than anyone else in this world! We have a connection that only a few people have. It is called true love! And we are not the same person!" I yelled back. Jesse looked hurt for a second.

"You don't think I loved you?" He asked in a small voice. I shook my head no. If he loved me, he wouldn't have egged me.

"Rachel…I still love you. No matter what happens…I will always love you. That's why I want you to come with me. Leave Finn." He said, with tears in his eyes. What the…

"But egging me? Returning to Carmel High? What was all that about?" I yelled, trying not to cry.

"I had to show my peers that I was over you. Shelby only wanted me with you to let you know she was your mother. After that, I had to return back to my normal life. I would have been an outcast if I didn't egg you." He explained. That still didn't cut it.

"So you would egg the girl you "love" so that you would fit in? That's not love." I explained and he nodded.

"I know it was the wrong thing to do and I am so sorry." He apologized and I shook my head.

"You say sorry when you spill a glass of milk. You say sorry when you step on my foot. Sorry doesn't cut it when you break someone's heart." I told him and he just sighed.

"I broke your heart?" He asked, and I nodded.

"Ask Finn. I didn't run into his arms after we broke up. If I didn't truly care about you, I would have ran straight to Finn and kissed him. But I didn't. I was hurt and I didn't think I could be put back together again. But Finn helped me back up. He showed me that he cared about me and would do anything for me. He is everything you weren't." I explained and his eyes flashed.

"Are you saying I wasn't a good enough boyfriend? I gave up everything for you! A national title…almost! My reputation! Everything!" He yelled and I flinched. He looked like he wanted to kill me!

"THAT ISN'T EVERYTHING! You wouldn't give your life for me! Finn would gladly trade his life for mine! Finn doesn't care that we don't have sex! While you pressured me into it! Finn loves me for me and doesn't care how I dress or look! All you care about are appearances!" I yelled back and Jesse looked livid.

"If Finn is such this good person…why weren't you in his arms when I met you?" He asked with a smirk and my face dropped.

"Finn had JUST came out of a relationship where he was controlled! He just found out a baby that was suppose to be his, wasn't his! It was his BEST FRIENDS! He was lonely, confused, and didn't want to be tied down! I understand why and I have accepted it and moved on! But once that stage was over…he came back to me and wanted me more than anyone else ever has. Everyday, he reminded me he cared and wanted me back. I should have just given into him and broke up with you earlier. But I made a mistake." I explained when Jesse looked defeated.

"Rachel, you win. Finn can have you…for now. But when he breaks your heart…you will find out who really cares and really loves you. Goodbye…for now." Jesse said as he walked over to me and kissed me on the cheek. I gasped and slapped his face. He flinched and held his face.

"Get out of here before I make Finn beat you up even more than he already has." I said to him as he walked to the door and flung it open. He eyed Finn and then he walked away. Finn walked back in and looked at me. He knew what was going to happen. He walked over to me and sat down beside me. He pulled me up on his lap and I began to cry.

It killed me inside to see her like this. I wish I would have just listened to myself and not let him talk to her. I heard everything they said and it made me sick to think that Jesse loves her. I know I don't believe that…but does Rachel?

I didn't want to ask her right now…her in the middle of an emotional breakdown. I rocked her back and forth and whispered sweet things to her. She just kept sobbing harder and I felt like I was about to cry myself. I thought about what Rachel said about me.

I would give my life for Rachel's. If giving up my life meant her living one more day on Earth, I would do it in a heartbeat. All I want is for her to be happy and content. I don't care about sex either. With Quinn, that is all I did care about. But with Rachel, it is so different. Sex isn't my top priority anymore…it is to make Rachel as happy as possible. She hasn't asked to go any father than to make out…so I think she is happy the way things are.

I would love Rachel if she dressed in a clown suit and looked ugly. She is just this light in my life that can never go away. She makes everyday the best day of my life…just by her being in it. She is beautiful inside and out and she makes me smile every time she looks at me. She is my everything.

After an hour of crying, I got an idea. I lifted her head of my shoulders and she looked at me confused. I smiled at her and set her on the bed. I walked over to my iPod and put it on my speakers. I had all these songs that had no vocals in them and I think it was the perfect time to sing one to her. I clicked the right one and looked over at her.

"Rachel…I think this may cheer you up. The song explains everything." I said as the intro was playing. She nodded, still confused, as I began to sing.

Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

Look into your heart - you will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am - take my life
I would give it all - I would sacrifice

Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more
Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

There's no love - like your love
And no other - could give more love
There's nowhere - unless you're there
All the time - all the way

Oh - you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more
I would fight for you - I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you - ya I'd die for you

Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

The song stopped playing and I looked at Rachel. She burst into a huge smile and started to half cry/half laugh! She ran over to me and gave me a huge kiss. I wrapped my arms around her waist and I smiled.

"I am taking it you like the song?" I asked as she wiped away her tears.

"Of course I loved it Finn. You are such a wonderful singer and the song was just…amazing. I love that you love me so much. I just love you!" She told me as she kissed me again.

"I am done feeling hurt by Jesse. He isn't in my life anymore and I should get over him now. I have you now…you are everything to me. I will never love another man as much as you." She told me honestly and I started to laugh.

"I will never love anyone as much as you Rach. But I have to say something…I love you more than you love me." I told her and she gasped.

"No way do you love me more! I love you much more than you do." She told me, being very serious.

"No…I think you are wrong. I love you…INFINITY! HA!" I said as she stomped her foot.

"THAT IS NOT FAIR FINN HUDSON!" She yelled as she turned her back to me and folded her shoulders. I laughed and wrapped my arms around her waist.

"I am sorry Rachel. What can I do to make you happy again?" I asked as she thought for a minute.

"I want you to listen to me perform a song. Then I want your HONEST opinion…you always tell me I sound amazing when I am not!" She said as I just shook my head.

"Alright…but I think I already know what I am going to say…"

I walked over to his speakers and pulled out his iPod and replaced it with mine. I found a song that I currently enjoyed and really did express my inner feelings. Though it didn't really relate to me in religious ways.

"This song is the last one I will ever sing for Jesse. After this, he is no more." I explained as I started to sing with the song.

Haven't been to church since I don't remember when
Things were goin' great 'til they fell apart again
So I listened to the preacher as he told me what to do
He said you can't go hatin' others who have done wrong to you
Sometimes we get angry, but we must not condemn
Let the good Lord do His job and you just pray for them

I pray your brakes go out runnin' down a hill
I pray a flowerpot falls from a window sill and knocks you in the head like I'd like to
I pray your birthday comes and nobody calls
I pray you're flyin' high when your engine stalls
I pray all your dreams never come true
Just know where ever you are honey, I pray for you

I'm really glad I found my way to church
'Cause I'm already feelin' better and I thank God for the words
Yeah I'm goin'to take the high road
And do what the preacher told me to do
You keep messin' up and I'll keep prayin' for you

I pray your tire blows out at 110
I pray you pass out drunk with your best friend and wake up with his and her tattoos

I finished up the song and we both started to burst out laughing. I truly did love this song, it was hilarious! After we both gained composure again he looked at me and kissed me on the cheek.

"That was wonderful Rach. And probably the most carefree song you have ever sung." He said honestly and I smiled.

"Thank you Finn. Now I don't know about you…but I want to go see the town! How about we go on a second date?" I asked and he nodded, excited.

"Great! I have the perfect idea."

Now that Rachel has sung Jesse out of her life (I totally love that song!), what drama can I come up with? Don't doubt me! Haha! A fluff filled chapter will probably come next…then we get back to drama! I hope you all enjoyed and please review! (P.S- Everyone now is going to want a Finn aren't they? :)
