He was falling. Finn was free falling and he felt sick. He couldn't make out the ground bellow. It was blurry actually, he couldn't tell if it was solid ground or if it was the ocean. All he could hear was the wind whipping past him. As he desperately reached out to grab anything his speed picked up and when he looked over his shoulder he could see the blurry stretch of land or sea start to become clear. It was a small river bank. He let out a loud yell but nothing came out and then, SMACK!"

Finn eyes shot open and his heart beat was off the charts as he took in a couple of deep breaths to slow everything down. It was just a dream, well a nightmare that genuinely scared the crap out of him. His breath caught in his throat for a second time when he felt something move against him. Slightly turning his head he looked to see Rachel's back curled up against his side. She was sound asleep, her breathing steady and her long eyelashes fluttering every few seconds. Finn's breath caught in his throat again but this time is was for a completely different reason. Rachel turned to in her sleep and snuggled closer into his side as her head rested against his chest and he felt his arms instinctively wrap around her tighter.

It all started to flood back into his head. Rachel finding him at the point, Rachel telling him that she wanted them to be together again, Rachel kissing him. The rest of it was kind of hazy but he remembered that they went back to her house and no one was home. They climbed into her bed, exhausted, Finn wrapping himself around her not willing to let her go for anything and they must have fallen asleep.

"Mmmm you're awake?" Rachel asked in a sleepy voice as her hand gently balled up the fabric of his t-shirt.

"Go back to sleep." Finn kissed her on the forehead. He was definitely sure that he could just lay there and watch Rachel sleep for the rest of his life.

"I don't think I can fall back asleep." Rachel whispered against his ear and made him shiver. Finn placed a sweet kiss on her nose and nudged his forehead against hers.

"It's been a long day." Finn told her.

They were starting fresh, together and Rachel didn't want him to treat her like she was the fragile girl made of glass that everyone thought tried to kill herself. She didn't want him walking on eggshells around her. Rachel rolled over on top of him and could hear his heart pounding against his chest completely in tune with hers. She kissed him hungrily and rough and his fingers combed through her hair.

"I want this." She told him seriously looking him right in the eyes.

"I want this too."
