Ch. 11 – What a shocker.

Shelby just stared at him waiting for him to begin, Hiram on the other hand had no idea how to start telling her the whole story.

"I'm waiting." She said and he looked down.

"Finn and Quinn are not dating, he doesn't like her." he took a deep breath. "He loves Rachel." Shelby was shocked.

"What? Are they together?" Hiram just nodded, he was so afraid of what his wife would do now, would she freak out? Would she tell him to break them up? He knew for sure that she wasn't happy by her shocked face.

"And you let them? I can't believe you! Your daughter is only 18, he's 12 years older than her!"

"But they like each other! And she's an adult now."

"I can't accept that Hiram. He's your best friend. He knows her since she's 15. That's sick."

"But he waited 'till she was 18 to tell her he likes her and we always knew Rachel liked him back."

"But what about Quinn?"

"Finn chose Rachel, we can't do anything about that now. And Quinn probably know about them."

"I want him away from my daughter, I know he's your friend but that's crazy Hiram." He rolled his eyes to his wife.

"It isn't! They love each other!"

"He's taking advantage of her, Rachel doesn't know what love is."

"She does! She's not a baby anymore, give him a chance please?"

"He took our girl to the woods and it's in there lost with her, why would I give him a chance?" Hiram looked down.

"'Cause he loves her, they love each other, they deserve to be happy."

"No. When they come back I'll talk to them." Shelby just laid beside Hiram and tried to sleep. Hiram was worried about their reaction tomorrow, he shouldn't have told her quite yet.

NEXT MORNING

Rachel woke up in Finn's arms, she was starving! So, she just woke him up by pecking his lips telling him it was time to go back to their cabin, it was finally morning. It was supposed to be one of the worst nights of her life, she was cold, hungry and slept on the dirty floor, but having Finn beside her made it all better, it was incredible what she felt when she was beside him.

Finn stood up and pulled Rachel by the hand so they could go back to the camp, he was holding her hand, he could see how tired she was. He was tired too but still they kept walking, in about an hour they could already see the cabins, Hiram was waiting for them by the door and Rachel ran to him and hugged him, she was still his little girl, and she couldn't deny she was a little afraid, even though she was with Finn.

Finn came walking after her and then they saw Shelby looking furious at the door.

Finn walked 'till Hiram but before he could say something Shelby went to him and pointed a finger at him.

"Who do you think you are to disappear with my daughter in the woods?" Rachel was shocked, she had never seen her mom so mad like at that moment. Finn just looked down and said sorry, but she kept going "Is it for you to make it easier to seduce her?" She looked at Rachel and went on "And you? I told you thousand times not to get involved with him, and now you're dating him?"

Now Finn and Rachel were shocked, they both looked at each other not knowing what to say, but Finn was man enough to speak first.

"I'm sorry Shelby but we fell in love, I love your daughter, I've never been this happier before, and I didn't mean to get lost last night, we just lost track of time." Shelby didn't seem to care about what Finn was saying, she would never accept them together, so she said:

"Rachel, or you break up with him or I'm throwing you out of our house." WHAT? That's exactly what Hiram was thinking right now, she couldn't do that! Hiram looked at Shelby and told her she couldn't do that, she only glared at him and said "That's what we will see..." then she walked away.

Their holidays were ruined on the second day, but still they decided to stay.

-rachel, quinn and finn's cabin-

Quinn was laughing out of them, Rachel was annoyed but Finn was trying to calm her down, they couldn't fight right now or Shelby would blame him even more.

-hiram and shelby's cabin-

Hiram was really mad, how could Shelby dare to say she would kick Rachel out of the house just because she was dating Finn?

"Shelby, you know you were too harsh with them, don't you?" he asked his wife and she rolled her eyes at him.

"I know Finn has a secret, don't know exactly what happened but I know he's crazy."

"He's treating himself, he's under control."

"Still, I think he's not the right guy for Rachel."

"But then who is?"

That was a good question, but Shelby was stubborn, she would never let them date that easy.

-lunch time-

Finchel walked in holding hands, Shelby glared at them, but they pretended everything was fine. After a while the lunch was going well until Rachel pecked Finn's lips and that was it, Shelby stood up and yelled:

"Stop being his hooker, you think he wants you to marry him? He doesn't, you're just a beautiful girl he's having fun with." Finn couldn't take it anymore and stood up saying out loud:

"I would marry her right now if she wanted me to, I know you don't believe me, but I do love your daughter. You really think Hiram would accept us if he knew I was just playing with her?" Hiram was there nodding the whole time agreeing with Finn. Rachel was still sitting, she couldn't believe her mom thought so low of her and Finn. Shelby then, stood up as well and shook her head in disapproval to her husband, she couldn't understand how he had just given his best friend his youngest daughter like that. In her mind Rachel was supposed to date guys from her school, not a man that had some kind of issues and owned a company already. She couldn't agree to that and she wouldn't.

Shelby took a deep breath and said coldly:

"I think you should leave Finn, this is supposed to be a family holiday, and you're not from the family." Hiram got shocked at how rude his wife was being and replied.

"But we invited him." Finn just looked down.

"I'm leaving, I don't want any more fights because of this. but I'm not leaving Rachel, Shelby, I know it's hard for you to understand, but just think about it, talk to her. We're in love and you can't change that." then he just walked away.

Rachel started crying immediately and when she stood up to go after him she was stopped by her mother.

"You don't know what you're doing." Rachel just looked at her with sad eyes.

"Maybe, but YOU have no idea how much you hurt me." she got away from her mom and ran away crying hard.

Inside their room Finn was already packing all his things, Rachel burst in crying and he stopped what he was doing and hugged her tight trying to calm her down. She was shaking from fear of losing him. He kept repeating on her ear that he wasn't going to leave her, no matter what happened, she just hugged him even tighter and pleaded him not to go home, but he told her he needed to, then they would give Shelby a time to think.

Later that day Finn was ready to leave when Shelby walked in and told him to sit on the bed beside her.

"Stay... I'm sorry for being rude to you earlier, you've always been a great friend of the family, I couldn't have done that even though I was really mad."

"I understand, but I'm not really sure if I should stay."

"Just do, but I just need one answer. Be honest, since when did you fall in love with Rachel?" Finn just looked down ashamed.

"Since I first saw her." Shelby was even more shocked.

"Since when are you together?"

"Right after her birthday party."

"I'm willing to give you a shot, but I need to know what happened in your life that you are all alone today." She requested and Finn looked down with teary eyes.
