Chapter 10: Guilty Roads to an Endless Love
Finn stayed behind, playing with his napkin and thinking of Rachel. He heard the auditorium doors open and he looks up to find his old teacher walking up to him.
"Mr. Schue, what are you doing here?" he asks as Will walks closer.
"I heard music coming from here when I was in my office. What was this for?" Will asks.
Finn chuckles and fixes his napkin on the table. "It was for Rachel, I wanted to show her how much she means to me and I sang to her," he answers.
Will smiles and crosses his arms. "Rachel's back, huh?"
Finn nods. "Yeah and she was engaged too but she's breaking it off as we speak."
Will looks at him incredulously. "You're telling me she's breaking up with the guy because of you?"
Finn looks at Will and nods guiltily. "Rachel loves me and I love her, Jessie was standing in our way."
Will shakes his head. "So history has repeated itself again. Well if you and Rachel are happy I guess this is for the better then."
Finn grins. "Thank you, Mr. Schue. And don't worry Rachel didn't cheat on Jessie with me."
Will nods. "Good, well I better go, Emma is cooking and Jason has friends over. Come by if you want."
Finn nods. "I think I will." He gets off the stage and Will and Finn hug. When they let go of each other, Finn follows Will out to the parking lot.
Rachel arrives in her room and sees that Jessie is on the bed with his shoes on, reading a book. She tries to control her temper, she hates it when he has shoes on her furniture. She knows he is only doing this to upset her. Mission accomplished, Jessie, ITALICSRachel thinks to herself.
"Hi, Jessie," Rachel greets. Jessie peeks out of the book, a smirk the size of Texas is across his face. Rachel rolls her eyes as she takes off her scarf.
"Hello, Rach," Jessie greets back in a teasing tone. Rachel freezes, he has never called her "Rach" before, only Finn calls her that. Jessie chuckles and puts down the book, watching as his fiancée shuffles around the room avoiding eye contact with him. "Look at me, Rach." There he goes again with the "Rach". Uh oh Jessie knows ITALICS.
Rachel sighs and faces to look at Jessie. "Jessie," Jessie cocks an eyebrow, "we need to talk."
Jessie smirks and gets off the bed. "I know, Rachel. When I came in here I saw the ring on your dresser. You think I don't know about Finn? And by the way, Rach," the condescending tone making her flinch, "I saw that stupid Backstreet Boys CD." Jessie was in front of Rachel already, staring her down.
Rachel tries to regain herself and stomps her feet down. "Jessie, I no longer want us to be engaged. I have come to my senses and I have concluded that you and I are not the same people we were. You seem more focused on your career and friends than on me. Finn has been patient with me and he is the man I want to marry. I will no longer hinder your chances of making it big beyond Wicked." Rachel relaxes a little as she gets that off her chest.
Jessie nods. "Fine, you are right. I don't need somebody like you to interfere with my career. Proposing to you was a mistake, maybe I was in love or in love with love. We both have fallen in love with love, right Rachel? When we were dating in high school, it was Finn that you loved, not me. I get it, if only you were honest with me from the beginning, but you were never honest with me."
Rachel tries to stop the tears from falling down but one betrayed her. Jessie chuckles as he witnesses that tear trickling down Rachel's cheek. "I was broken, Jessie and you helped me along the way. When I agreed to try again with you, I was lying but I knew that I could never fully be with you. I'm sorry, Jessie, I shouldn't have accepted your proposal in the first place. Just so you know, I did fall in love with you but I was blinded. When we arrived here, I was cured of my blindness by my friends."
"My friends have been telling me our relationship is wrong and I wouldn't listen to them, but now I know that they were right. You've been seeing him since we've been here?"
Rachel stays quiet.
"Haven't you?" Jessie asks again, getting impatient.
Rachel sniffles. "Yes I have but we didn't do anything."
Jessie scoffs and turns his back to Rachel. "So this is it? We're done?" He turns around to face her, Rachel is staring at the ground sniffling.
Rachel nods after she wipes her tears. "Yes, it's over Jessie. I wish it didn't have to be this way."
Jessie sighs and walks back to Rachel. "I hope you realize your potential because I do, you are a star and if Finn doesn't understand what it's like to be a star, don't come to me when he shatters your dreams."
Rachel nods, not making eye contact. She wants to tell him that Finn supports her no matter what, but when provoked Jessie gets rough. Of course Jessie would never hurt her but he'll cause a scene and his inner diva explodes.
"I-I know he won't but he'll support me," Rachel looks up to meet Jessie's eyes.
Jessie bites his lower lip. "It doesn't matter, he will never understand you."
Rachel glares at him. "How dare you utter those words, Jessie. Finn understands me more than anybody, more than you. All you understand is the stress of being a star but you do not understand me!"
Jessie snickers. "So I was just a substitute for that dumb oaf? You've loved him the entire time we were dating," he shakes his head, "Unbelievable."
Rachel sighs. "Yes I have loved Finn throughout our relationship, but I tried Jessie. I tried to love you but I couldn't."
Jessie glares at her as well. "That's great, just great. Have a nice life Rachel because I am done!" And with that he walks away from her, grabs the ring, and leaves the room. Rachel just stares after him, suddenly remembering her fight with Finn three years ago. He had said the same thing when he left, "Have a nice life Rachel because I am done." She stays there frozen, staring at the spot where she last saw Jessie. Was this really happening? No more Jessie St. James, no more pretending to love him, and no more pretending. Unfortunately, the guilt of her lies finally hit Rachel and she runs out of the house. Rachel is ashamed of the many lies she told Jessie and the guilt is killing her. So to relieve the guilt she drives to the nearest bar. Though she would never-under any circumstances-drink heavily, tonight would be an exception. Rachel parks her car and walks inside, she peeks around to see if she is safe and she walks over to the bar.
"What would you like little miss?" the bartender asks.
Rachel sniffles and clears her throat. "One bottle of beer and it doesn't matter what kind," she answers in a broken voice.
The bartender chuckles. "Bad night little miss?"
Rachel scoffs. "You have no idea." She takes out a tissue and wipes her eyes.
The bartender turns around and slides her a small glass for shots. Rachel looks down and looks up at him confused.
"This isn't a beer, sir," Rachel says.
The bartender laughs. "It's for shots," he turns around a pours a drink. "Bottoms up little miss."
Rachel stares at the cup and gulps. She takes the cup and drinks it, feeling the pain fade away. She slams the cup down, "More please?"
The bartender laughs and pours her another. An hour later Rachel is drunk, she no longer felt the numbness that she felt an hour earlier.
"Hey, you, do you think I'm a fool for loving another man when I was engaged?" Rachel asks a customer. When the customer leaves, Ted the bartender tries to take away Rachel's cup.
"No, no, don't take my medicine, it's all I have," Rachel pleads drunk.
Ted shakes his head. "I'm cutting you off little miss," he replies.
Rachel tries to swat away Ted's hands but misses them entirely. She sighs and puts her head on the counter, she turns her head and her eyes sparkle as she sees a karaoke machine.
"Karaoke?" she mumbles as she walks to the small stage, leaving her purse at her seat. Ted shakes his head and serves another customer. Suddenly, Rachel's phone rings. Ted picks up her phone.
"Hello?" he asks.
"R-Rachel? Who's this?" the voice asks.
"This is Ted, the bartender at Jim's. Who's this?" Ted answers.
"This is Finn, is Rachel there?"
Ted looks over at Rachel who's trying to turn on the machine. "Oh yeah, can you get her? She's drunk and making a fool of herself."
Finn nods and with a determined expression he replies, "I'll be there in a few minutes."
Ted scoffs. "Get here as ASAP!" Ted and Finn hang up. Finn sighs as he looks at Rachel's picture from three years ago. He puts his phone in his pocket.
"Is everything ok, Finn?" Emma asks from behind.
Finn turns around. "It's Rachel," he answers.
Emma is about to speak when Will emerges from the kitchen and asks, "What's wrong with Rachel?"
Finn looks between Will and Emma and contemplates whether or not to tell them that Rachel's drunk. It would definitely surprise both of them. Finn sighs. "Rachel's in trouble, I have to get her," he says.
Will and Emma share a worried expression. "Is she ok? Where is she?" Emma asks.
"She's at Jim's."
Will cocks an eyebrow. "Rachel's at a bar?"
Finn pauses and nods. "Yeah she is, I have to get her now." Finn starts to leave but Will stops him by placing a hand on his shoulder. Finn turns to face Will.
"Let me take you, just leave your car here. Rachel probably took her car over there."
Finn ponders over it and agrees to it. He kisses Emma goodbye and says goodbye to Emma and Will's son Jason. Finn follows Will out to the Schuester car, feeling a little weird joining his former teacher on a trip to a bar. Finn felt anxious as they drove to Jim's. All that was running through his head was his future with Rachel. Did she break up with Jessie? How did he take it? How did she take it? He had noticed that Rachel took drinking as a way of easing the pain. Finn had done that too, for the first year without Rachel, Finn had frequented a bar in hopes of meeting a girl like her. Of course Puck and Quinn had to stop him before his drinking escalated and became a daily thing. Finn sighs and rests his head in his palm.
Will looks over at his former student and pats his shoulder. "I'm sure she's alright, Finn. It's Rachel, even if she's drunk, she'll come to her senses," he says reassuringly.
Finn turns his head. "I hope you're right, Mr. Schu," he replies.
Will gives him a sympathetic smile and turns his attention back to the road. Finn relaxes a little and leans his head against the glass. A few minutes later, Will turns into the parking lot of Jim's, Finn breathes a sigh of relief as Will stops in front of the entrance.
Finn turns around to Will. "Thanks, Mr. Schu," he says.
Will tips his head. "Anything for my former students," he replies, "Now go and rescue your damsel."
Finn chuckles and gets out of the car. He takes a deep breath opens the door to the bar. He scans the room and walks to the bar.
He walks up to the bartender and says, "Excuse me is there a Ted here?"
The bartender turns to Finn and replies, "Yes, who is asking?"
"Um Finn Hudson, I'm looking for a Rachel Berry," Finn answers.
Ted nods and laughs. "She's over there," he points to the karaoke stage, Finn turns towards that direction, "she's been trying to figure out how to turn that on for the past hour."
Finn sees Rachel tampering with the machine and checking the mic with a determined face. He marvels in her cuteness and how her tongue is sticking out as she tries to find the "on" button. Finally, she finds it and a smile is plastered on her face. She moves towards the front but falls from all the searching for that button. A few of the bar patrons laugh and Finn takes that as his cue to rescue her. He runs to the stage and jumps on.
"Rachel," Finn says.
Rachel gets up and stumbles into Finn's arms, laughing at herself. Finn steadies her as she finds her feet. Rachel uses his shoulders to get up and once she makes eye contact with him, she smiles and though drunk, her eyes sparkle.
"Finn, hi, thank you," Finn let's her go, "thank you for volunteering to sing with me," Rachel says. Before he could say he didn't volunteer, she drops the mic into his hands and walks to get the other one.
When she selects the song, she turns to the crowd. "Ok people of this bar, I am Rachel Berry and this is my friend, Finn and we will be singing for you," she says into the mic. Finn sighs and goes to her.
"Rachel we can't do this, you're drunk," Finn whispers to her.
Rachel giggles. "I'm a performer, Finn. The audience craves my talent and yours as well," she replies. "Now go to your place, we shall begin." Finn sighs in defeat and does what he is told. Even when drunk, Rachel can still boss him around.
The melody to the song comes on and Rachel takes her spot next to Finn, she smiles at him and he grins back. Even though she's drunk, Finn can't wait to feel the rush of singing with Rachel. If singing with Rachel is considered a drug, he wants a dose every second of every minute of every hour of every day of every week of every month of every year and so on and so forth.
Rachel takes a deep breath and sings: Show me the meaning of being lonely
Finn looks at her and a smile a million miles wide stains his face as she sings the first verse.
So many words for the broken heart
It's hard to see in a crimson love
So hard to breathe
Walk with me and maybe
Finn begins:
Nights of light so soon become
Wild and free I could feel the sun
Your every wish will be done
They tell me
Rachel and Finn turn to each other as the chorus comes on:
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart
Finn grins as Rachel winks at him, he takes a breath and begins the second verse:
Life goes on as it never ends
Eyes of stone observe the trends
They never say forever gaze upon me
Rachel and Finn: Guilty roads to an endless love
Rachel: There's no control are you with me now
Your every wish will be done
They tell me
F/R: Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
Rachel starts to lose herself in Finn's eyes:
There's nowhere to run
I have no place to go
Surrender my heart, body, and soul
Finn and Rachel lock eyes: How can it be your asking me to feel the things you never show (R: shoooow)
Finn: You are missing in my heart
Rachel: Tell me why can't I be there where you are
F/R: Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there you are
There's something missing in my heart
(R:You are missing in my heart)
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart
Finn and Rachel inhale and exhale sharply, feeling pure ectascy coursing through their veins. They forgot where they were until the crowd applauds them and some gives them a standing ovation. Finn and Rachel turn to the crowd and bow. Rachel screams as well and claps for her and Finn. Finn smiles but it's hiding his desire to whisk Rachel away from Jim's and into his room. He had to mentally berate himself for forgetting the reason why he was here in the first place. He takes Rachel's mic and puts his and hers on the table, he takes her hand and drags her off the stage. Rachel tries to protest but Finn-being the bigger being (no pun intended)-succeeds in taking her to the bar.
"I think they want an encore, stretch," Ted says.
Finn let's go of Rachel and she huffs while placing her hands on her hips. "Finn Hudson, how dare you whisk me away from the stage, our audience requests an encore and we are giving them what they want," she says with a determined expression.
Finn sighs in frustration and runs his hand over his face. "We need to go, Rachel, you're drunk."
Rachel giggles. "I am...not drunk."
Finn takes her things and drags her out of the bar. Rachel suddenly forgets why she was angry at him and follows him, intoxicated by his scent and the comfort of being enveloped in his long, muscular arm. He takes her to her car, helps her into the seat, closes her door, and goes to his side. He looks at her before he puts the key in the ignition and pulls out of the parking lot. Rachel moans, feeling sick to her stomach and her head felt like someone banged a hammer against it. Finn sighs, wishing he could hold her without being too forward with his feelings. Finn tightens his grip on the steering wheel and takes a deep breath.
Rachel couldn't help but look at Finn. Being the drunken mess she is, she wants to kiss him. She is still high from her performance with Finn. She moans and leans her head against the window.
"Rach?" Finn calls.
"Hmm?" Rachel answers.
"Do you want to go home?" Finn asks.
"No," Rachel answers. "Finn," she faces him.
Finn looks between her and the road. "Yeah, Rach?" he asks.
Rachel sighs and places her hand on his hand. "I love you, I really love you. You are the constant in my life. Where I am is where you are. Our past is something that I can never regret, even though we've had our fair share of arguments, I can never be mad at you," she replies giving him a genuine smile.
Before Finn could respond, Rachel found amusement in her curls. When she turns away from him, he takes a deep breath and faces the road again, processing every word and their meaning. He reaches the apartment complex, parks in his space, and helps Rachel up the stairs. She voices many complaints about how many flights they are walking.
"Finn Daniel Hudson, this is ridiculous," Rachel complains as she leans against him as they climb to the third floor.
Finn groans. "Rachel, come on we're almost there," he replies.
Rachel huffs, pulls away from him and sits down on the top step. Finn looks at her and shakes his head. "Rach, let's go."
Rachel sighs. "I cannot soldier on, Finn. Leave me here."
Finn bends down. "Then I'll carry you." He picks her up bridal style and walks up the stairs to the fourth floor. Rachel rests her head on the crook of his neck, grinning at how perfect it feels to be in his arms. Finn opens the door to find Puck and Quinn cuddling on the couch. They shoot their heads up to see Rachel in Finn's arms. Puck immediately gets up, worrying that Rachel is hurt. Quinn gets up as well and puts on an assuring hand on his arm.
"She's fine, Puck," Finn says.
Puck nods. "Then why are you carrying her?" he asks.
Finn sighs. "She's drunk and she was lazy to climb the rest of the stairs," he answers as he makes his way into his room. He opens his door and lays Rachel on his bed. He turns around to his closet to change. He begins to take off his shirt when:
"Finn," Rachel calls.
He turns around and pulls it over her head. Rachel turns her body and her eyes sparkle at how muscular his chest had become.
Finn notices and smirks. "Yeah, Rach?"
"I need a bucket, I need to vomit," she answers.
Finn nods and takes his empty trashcan puts it next to the bed. "Here, Rach."
Rachel smiles and vomits into the bucket. Finn cringes at how bad she sounds. She breathes in sharply and lays back down, reveling in the comforts of his sheets and his scent. Finn grins and turns around to pull out some clothes for Rachel. He is about to leave when he hears Rachel coughing.
"Finn, can you stay with me?" Rachel asks.
Finn thinks about it. Should he lay beside her? He has missed her for three years. All the birthdays without her were never "happy" birthdays, no matter how much his mom or Puck tried, those birthdays were incomplete without his chocolate, doe eyed girl.
Finn nods. "Yeah, I'll stay," he answers.
Rachel smiles as Finn slides in. When Finn gets comfortable enough, she surprises him by snuggling closer to him and resting her head on his bare chest. She marvels at how muscular his muscles feels under her tiny fingers. Finn smiles and rests a hand on the small of her back, enjoying how perfect she fits on him. Before he could muster the nerves to say something, he hears her snoring.
The next morning...
Puck knocks on the door, Finn doesn't wake up, so Puck enters and is surprised to find Rachel and Finn sleeping in the same bed.
"Whoa," that wakes up Finn.
Finn turns his head to Puck. "Puck, what do you want?" he asks sleepily.
Puck chuckles. "Um I was just," he forgets his reason and says this, "Did you two have sex?"
Finn's eyes grow wide. "What? No we didn't," he says defensively.
Puck cocks an eyebrow. "Yeah sure, than why are you are shirtless and why are Rachel's clothes on the floor? Tell me that, dude."
Finn sighs. "I'm shirtless because I took off my shirt last night and Rachel changed out of her clothes into mine," he answers.
Puck chuckles. "Your clothes, huh? Did you help her?"
Finn chuckles. "Yes I helped her. What's wrong with that?"
Puck gives him a smug look, making sure Finn knows what he's thinking. "Nothing is wrong at all, it's just that two exes are sleeping in the same bed. One is shirtless and the other is wearing the one's clothes. The other was engaged and you get the picture."
Finn scoffs and wipes his forehead. He hears Rachel squirming and she opens those beautiful brown eyes to him. Finn smiles, gazing lovingly at her.
"Yeck," Puck says as he exits the room.
Rachel giggles and snuggles closer to Finn. He swings an arm over her. Suddenly, Rachel moans and turns away from him.
"Ugh, my head it hurts," Rachel moans.
Finn moves closer to her. "I'll get you coffee, Rach," he says. He pulls off the covers and exits the room. Rachel looks after him, disappointed that he left and relieved he's getting her coffee. It felt nice to wake up to a warm, muscular chest and in such wonderful long, strong arms. She grabs Finn's pillow and lays in it, finding solace in his scent and how comfortable he feels. It was right then that Rachel wished she had ran after him, before he came back to pack all of his things. The three years without him were torture, every night Rachel would lie awake at night missing Finn's warmth, his scent, and his presence. Why had she been blinded by Jessie's knowledge of the theater and his influence in the business? Jessie may have helped her reached the celebrity status in New York but what else could he bring her? Nothing, he could only bring her what she needs for her career.
Finn is in the kitchen getting Rachel's coffee when Puck snatches the mug from him.
"Dude, that's for Rachel," Finn says.
Puck chuckles. "Don't worry, your lady will have her coffee. First I need to know that you're not going to make a fool of yourself," he replies.
Finn forwards her brow in confusion. "I don't know what you're saying," he responds.
Puck sighs. "Don't do anything that will scare her away. You think I haven't heard you for the past three years? You want to propose to her don't you?"
Finn looks down, Puck does know him. All night he had been contemplating on whether or not he should propose to Rachel. Finn sighs. "Ok fine I won't, now give me her coffee." Puck smacks his tongue and hands him the coffee.
Finn walks back to his room, hoping she's ok and awake. He opens the door to find Rachel sitting on the other end of the bed with her head between her knees. He puts down the coffee on his desk and runs to her, kneeling in front of her.
"Rach, babe, you ok?" he asks with concern filling his voice.
Rachel sighs and lifts her head to face him. "My head feels like someone hit me with a hammer, what took you so long?" she asks.
Finn sighs, resting his hands on her thighs. "Puck kind of gave me advice. I have your coffee on my desk," he replies. He gets up, takes the mug, and hands it to her. She drinks it, feeling a lot better.
"Thank you, Finn," she says through sips.
Finn chuckles and thinks about proposing to Rachel. He looks at his underwear drawer and sighs. He walks to it, takes out the ring, and walks over to Rachel. It's now or never, Finn thinks. He takes a deep breath and kneels on one knee in front of her. Rachel looks at him, her eyes wide with astonishment. Finn smiles and takes out the ring box.
"Rachel, forget about the fight, forget about the three years apart, and forget about me leaving me you. I know what I did was wrong and I should have came back for you, believe me I've thought about coming back but I was afraid. I was afraid of facing you and what I did. I just couldn't do it, Rachel. I know you forgive me but I can't forgive myself, hurting you was a mistake that I regret greatly. If I could turn back time, I would do it differently. I would propose to you and we would have kids of our own. So, Rachel Barbara Berry," he opens the box to reveal a ring with a gold star and a small diamond in the center of it, "will you do me the honor of marrying me?"
Rachel is speechless. How many times has she dreamt of being proposed to by Finn? She swallows and takes a deep breath that she had been holding in. "Finn, I would love to be your wife," she answers.
Finn's smile grows a mile long and he chuckles as Rachel throws her arms around him, engulfing in a hug full of love, that they held each other for what seemed like years. When they let go of each other, Finn and Rachel looked into each other's eyes, enjoying the warmth that their eyes held. Finn removes several strands away from Rachel's face, stroking her cheek as he stares into her eyes, grinning. Rachel closes her eyes, basking in his touch and then opening them to look into those beautiful brown eyes of him. A few seconds past, Finn sighs and leans in closer, she leans closer, and then their lips meet. They part and smiles the size of Jupiter stained their faces. Finn gulps as Rachel presses her lips against his. Tangling her fingers into his hair and he moves his hands around her back. Suddenly, Finn and Rachel jump on the bed, kissing passionately. Rachel moves her hands up and down his bare back, enjoying the muscles and the feel of his skin against her fingertips. Finn moans as the sensation of Rachel's touch flows through him. Finn is about to take off Rachel's shirt, when she presses her hands on his chest.
"Wait, Finn," Rachel protests.
Finn takes in air, "What's wrong, Rachel?" he asks.
Rachel moves her fingers across his muscular chest, biting her upper lip. "I think we should wait," she answers.
Finn chuckles and Rachel cocks an eyebrow. He looks at her. "Rach, we have done this before," he says.
Rachel pulls away from him and sits up Indian style, facing him. She sighs. "Yes we have but it's been a long time, Finn. I haven't been active since you left," she looks up at him. He stiffens and places a hand on her thigh. She never moved on ITALICS.
Finn sighs. "When you're ready we can, um, do what we were about to do."
Rachel nods and gives him a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you, Finn. I-I really appreciate your patience with me," Finn smiles his adorable grin, "I love you, Finn."
"I love you, too, Rach." Rachel smiles and kisses him.
Rachel arrives home, tired and excited. She closes the door and sighs as she looks at the ring, admiring the customization. She notices an inscription on the ring, that she hadn't seen in her hangover. It read: Finn+Rachel til forever. Rachel smiles and walks to the living room where her dads are watching TV.
"Good morning, daddy and dad," she sings.
Hiram and Leroy exchange confused glances at each other as she sits next to Hiram.
"Um," Leroy begins, "You all right, dear?"
Rachel looks at Leroy. "I'm wonderful, daddy," she answers, "More than wonderful." It's true, the hangover subsided before she left Finn's apartment.
"Is that so?" Leroy inquires.
Rachel cocks an eyebrow. "Daddy, why are you questioning me?"
Leroy chuckles. "Because you seem too happy after what happened last night."
Rachel sighs and looks down, playing with her hands and looking at her new ring. "I am engaged to Finn."
"What?" Hiram and Leroy say simultaneously.
Phew that was an eventful chapter. Did you think it was a bit rushed? Did you like the break up between Jessie and Rachel? And don't worry Jessie will reveal something unsettling to Rachel soon. Did I write Rachel being drunk well? Tell me please cuz I have never been drunk in MY LIFE! How did you like Finn's speech to Rachel when he proposed to her? Do you think Rachel needs some more time to know for certain she wants to marry Finn? Well I will answer that now, of course she should be ready. Rachel's been in love with Finn and has never stopped loving him. Then why would she have accepted Jessie's proposal? Maybe because it was a way out of her misery over waiting for Finn to come back.
