Chapter 9 – Hate You
It has been the two longest day of his life. Really, it's like the time was against him just to prevent him from seeing Rachel again. Every time during classes he would try to close his eyes and hope that the time will go faster, but no such luck, he groans audibly when he opens his eyes and realized that only two seconds has passed.
He was looking forward tonight to see how she was doing and was worried because he knows that if something terrible happened she would have tried to contact him in any way, but she hadn't, he didn't know what to think. He kept himself from watching horror and action movies the last two days only because he knew himself too much and he could have been able to call the CSI or FBI to look for her. Yes she's still at her house with her dads but who knows, you can never be too sure. That's what his mother tells him a lot.
Right now, he's in his last period, math, so he doesn't really pay attention at what the teacher is saying, it's not like he would understand anyway. He wonders if her dads will be home. He doesn't really want to see them, because he's intimidated by them, they are really rich and well educated so he doesn't want to see their reactions if they see Finn like... well... Finn. There is such a gap between their life style that he's afraid they might throw him away, or call the police, or tell him that he'll never be allowed to see Rachel again. This cannot happen. Even if they castrate him, or slap him or something, he'll always see Rachel. Damn! She brightens his days like no one ever did this! Just by being the way she is. Maybe one day, she will feel the same way about him and maybe then they will be more than friends... Wait. When did he start thinking that way? There is no way in hell they will end up together, she deserves way better than him. And it's great to have a friendship like he has with her. If this wouldn't worked out then they would have spoiled the best friendship they could have ever!
55 minutes later a miracle happened. The ring bell sang! Thanks God he was going to see her again after 2 full weeks with any signs of her life.
He practically runs to his car. He reached for the paper with her address on it and he drove until there. When he arrives, he astounded. Her house was enormous! He thinks he never saw a house that big. It's like a castle but more modern. The front door is white while the walls are paint in a blue like the sky. It's beautiful. Don't get him started about the garden because it could easily fit his whole house. But he finds the house cute. There is no car parked in front of it, so he suggests that her dads aren't home yet, one good thing so far. When he reaches the door, a sudden fear cross his mind, will Rachel open the door? He hesitates. Maybe she's sleeping or simply gone, and starts walking back.
Okay Finn you need to wash away the pessimist mode.
He walks back confidently to the front door, take a deep breath and he knocks on the door, three times.
No answer. He tries again.
"Rachel? It's me, it's Finn. Open the door please." He hears something moving inside, like footsteps. At least, she's here.
"Rachel! I heard you. I really need to see you... Please" Now he was almost begging her! But, he missed her like crazy and he wasn't a stranger so she could at least be nice to him and open that damn door!
"Finn go away... I can't see you right now. I...I'm busy with... stuff. I'll call you later." she said through the door. Her voice seems low and feeble as if she had been crying a lot.
"Rachel whatever you do open I missed you and I need to see you!"
"NO! GO AWAY! I DON'T EVER WANT TO SEE AGAIN! I HATE YOU! I HATE ALL OF YOU..." She screamed to him! That was enough for him!
He pushed the door which happened to be open, and walks fast into her house! She was sat on the stairs in front of him, and she was crying. She looks miserable, her hair was a mess, her eyes were red and the t-shirt she had one was a little bit soap from too much tears, yet she still looks extremely beautiful.
"What the hell are you doing in my house?" She jumped on him to push him against the door. He was surprised at first, but gain composure when his back hit the wall behind him!
"Rachel! Stop that! Why are you acting like that! I'm Finn! We are best fri..." He didn't finish his sentence because she was literally slapping him across his chest! And crying at the same time desperately!
"I hate you! I hate you, I hate you so much..." she finishes on her knees crying like ever. Finn, still shocked from her reaction, kneels beside her and took her in his arms. He rocked her lightly, whispering sweet words to her to comfort her. He stroked her back with his hand.
"Shhh Rachel… It's okay. Everything is going to be okay. I'm here now." He keeps telling her, then he remembered that nothing could calm her like music, so he started humming the first song that crossed his mind, hoping he would calm her:
Highway run into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts sleep alone tonight
Sending all my love along the wire
They say that the road
ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line it's been you and me
And loving a music man
ain't always what it's supposed to be
Oh girl!
You stand by me
I'm forever yours
Faithfully
Circus life under the big top world
We all need the clowns to make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wodering where I am lost without you
And being a part ain't easy on this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy of rediscovering you
Oh girl
you stand by me!
I'm forever yours
faithfully
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh
faithfully
I'm still yours
I'm forever yours
Ever yours
Faithfully…
He doesn't know how much time they stayed like that on the floor but it feels like hours. After a while, she was calm and started to stand up. He thinks that she's going to hit him again, but instead she grabs his hand and leads him through the house until they reach a big pink door with the name Rachel next to a gold star: Rachel's bedroom. She hides her face from him, he knows it but he doesn't want to push her, she looks so broken and weak that maybe she could fall at any minute. She opens the door, let go of his hand, climbs in her bed, (if you could call that a bed), and lies under her sheets. Her bed is like 4 four times his, and he's way bigger than her. Everything is pink and gold. It's well tidy unless some clothes scattered all around the room. It's really like a girl's room but it's more classy and brighter. It's Rachel's.
"Finn?" He heard her call quietly.
"Yes Rachel?" he answers as quietly as her. He doesn't want to rush her, you know.
"Can you maybe... hold me?" She doesn't have to ask him twice, because he loves holding her. She fits perfectly into his arms, like they had been created for her. So he climbs onto the bed, lays besides her and he takes her in his arms. His arms are around her stomach. She's warm and smells nice despite the fact that she probably hadn't take a shower in a long time.
"I'm sorry for slapping you" that's all she said.
"It's okay Rachel. I think you should rest, you need to sleep."
"Can you stay tonight?" she raises her voice a little.
"Sure, we'll talk tomorrow"
As long as she's in his arms, she doesn't feel the need to say anything. Not now anyway. They'll have plenty of time to talk tomorrow. He wonders what made her in that state. Rachel wasn't a violent girl, she was the opposite actually. He kissed her ear "Goodnight Rachel". And who cares that it's only 7pm? They are finally together. Tomorrow is another day!
Minutes later, Rachel is sleeping and he decided to texts his mom to tell her that he's staying at Rachel's home for the night. She's okay with it. He loves his mom so much, but then it hits him, what about her dads? What will they say when they see him? Especially holding her in her bed! He shake those thoughts from him mind cause Rachel needs him, he doesn't care what will happen to him, as long as she okay, the rest doesn't really matters. Just then he closes his eyes and slowly drifts to sleep.
