Chapter 10: The Phone Call

I need suggestions for the following chapters. Feel free to criticize and please review!

Rachel's POV:

I totally blew off Finn just now. In front of everyone! I'm such a terrible person...and I didn't even get the chance to ask Luke out! What kind of sick joke is this? I just don't understand what I'm doing. Finn's gone for good, but who knows if he will ever come back into my arms. I tried to get my mind over him, but I couldn't do it. Everything still reminds me of who he was. So, I decided to just call Finn and tell him that we should forget any of this ever happened and become friends. Are you sure you want that Rachel? I thought to myself. To be in the friend's zone with Finn? You've had a crush on him since-... Shut up! I told my conscious. I have to get all of these thoughts and feelings, out of my brain

I quickly dialed Finn's number. It rang twice, until he finally picked up.

"Hello?" he sounded so different on the phone.

"Hi Finn," I said, "It's Rachel."

"Yeah, I know that," he replied, "I have caller's id."

Just tell him now. Tell him that you want to be friends with him. Right...just friends.

"I..." I choked between my words. What the hell is wrong with me?

"Rach," he said worried, "Are you okay?"

I hesitated for a second. This is my chance. My chance to fix everything that is wrong with my life.

"Hello?" Finn asked impatiently.

"I'm still here Finn," I answered quickly.

"Oh...good," he said, "Is there like...I don't know, a certain reason you're calling me right now?"

I froze. That's the same way he asked me out a week ago. The result into us dating. The effect of us breaking up. The answer to everything. I remember how he said it.

On the first day of school, he asked me why I looked so...different. I thought that different was a bad thing for a moment there. Then I shook all of those thoughts aside and told him it was because Sue needed a new head cheerio and I was perfect for the squad. Then this is how he took it:

"That's cool," He replied, playing with his hair, "So I was wondering...if you wanted to I don't know, go out with me to the Lima Bean sometime?"

Finn's voice immediately snapped me out of my flashback.

"Rachel?"

"Huh?" Just say it already!

"Are you sure you're okay?" he questioned.

"I'm fine," I answered, "Look Finn. There's something I've been meaning to tell you."

"Okay," he said, "Go ahead."

I paused and took in deep breaths. Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out. No need to be afraid or confused Rachel. Do it now.

"I..." I began, "At first I thought that we should put away our differences and become friends."

"Just friends?" Finn asked, with hope, "I mean...go on."

Suddenly, I finally realized something. When I said that Finn asking me out was the answer to everything in my life, I knew what I had to do.

"But now that I think about it," I continued, "Everyday would be a living hell if we were only friends. I want you...I want you to know that I still love you."

I heard a gasp from the other side of the line. Then, it was dead silent. I just confessed my feelings to him. I don't even know if I really still love him! Or worse? What if he doesn't love me back?

"Finn," I felt tears falling down my face, "Please, ju...just answer me."

But he didn't. I never knew he would ever take it this far, but he did. I couldn't hear anything on my phone. I kept yelling, "Hello?" and, "Finn?", but he just wasn't there. I pulled my phone away from my ear and saw a dreadful sight.

It read, "Call ended."

Finn's POV:

I panicked. Rachel just confessed her love for me, but I was so confused. One minute she was screaming at me in the halls, telling me to stop calling her, and the next, she tells me she still has feelings for me. Without thinking, I immediately pressed the 'call end' button and threw my phone across the room. Why is she making this so hard for me? Moreover, for us?

If she really did want us to get back together (and I'm just guessing), then why did she break up with me in the first place? Rachel made the same mistake I did, but the only difference is that, she did it TWICE. Not ONCE, but TWICE. And I forgave her the first time, thinking that it was just a mistake and Kyle forced her to kiss him. Man, was that a stupid decision. I was an idiot to even think that her kiss with him was just an 'accident', but she had to just go and rub it in my face by doing it again.

But, I never said that I didn't do the same thing. I know that kissing another girl (while dating the Rachel Berry) was a huge regret, but I only did it because she kissed TWO freaking guys. And those two assholes were just trying to ruin our relationship. If anyone is breaking up with someone, it should me ME!

Tomorrow at school, I have a big feeling that Rachel is going to be pissed and go all Santana on me. (You know, Lima Heights Adjacent). I need to stand up to her. Ask her why she's making me so confused with this thing. Get over it, Hudson. She probably dialed the wrong number and actually meant to tell Luke that she loves him. I tried to convince myself that, but that wouldn't make any sense whatsoever. If she really meant to call Luke, then why did she say my name over and over and over and-you get the point.

I need to figure out what's going on. Does Rachel Berry really love me?

Thanks for reading! End of Chapter 10.

Please review and suggest some ideas that you want to happen in the story. Criticism would be helpful too! Thanks!
