Hey guys! Last chapter, hope you like it! I know it seems rushed, but I'm really not feeling this story anymore, and writing it is starting to feel more like homework that fun. I still love Glee, and Finchel, but I guess I'm just not in the mood to write FanFictions about it at the moment. Sorry. I'm glad you liked the story, though, it means a lot. And thanks for all the reviews! :D

Disclaimer: For the eleventh and final time, (for this story, anyway), I own nothing but the plot line.

Chapter 11

After that, Rachel decided to distance herself from Finn. She knew he hadn't done anything, that it was her who had turned him down, but she couldn't be around him constantly anymore. It just hurt too much, knowing that he was back together with Quinn. She had realised that she was over Jesse and ready to move on too late. If only she had realised it earlier, she would be with Finn now. She felt disgustingly selfish, being jealous of a girl who was stuck in the hospital after a car accident, but she couldn't help herself.

"Rachel, honey, are you okay? What happened between you and Finn?" asked Carol, a week after the whole incident.

"Nothing." Rachel lied, unconvincingly.

"I'm not thick, Rachel. Seriously, when this whole thing first happened you and Finn were inseparable, but for the past week you haven't stayed the night once, and you always seem to be somewhere else or busy doing something when Finn comes out of Quinn's room. Tell me what happened." Carol said sternly, but at the same time kindly. Rachel couldn't help it; she told her everything. From when she first saw Finn staring at her in that club to the previous week when she had seen him kissing Quinn's forehead. Carol looked at her, smiling, when she was done with her story.

"Is that it, dear?" she asked, smiling in a way that suggested that she knew something Rachel didn't. Rachel nodded, confused.

"Well, then, you'll be pleased to know that when Finn kissed Quinn on the forehead last week, he had just finished apologising to her."

"Why was he apologising?"

"Because he had just told her that they had broken up, and that he really liked someone else. He was planning to tell you he had told her, but you disappeared, then you kept ignoring him. He's been really cut up about it, had no idea what he had done. You should talk to him, Rachel. He wouldn't even let me talk to you. I've only brought it up now because I can see how miserable you both are, and with Quinn in the condition she is, we need all the happiness and love we can get." Carol explained. Rachel instantly felt guilty for making Finn feel bad. She had just assumed that he was back with Quinn, she should have asked him, talked to him, and told him about Jesse. She should have done a lot of things, but she hadn't, and rather than wasting her time thinking about the things that she should have done, she needed to get up and go find him.

"Do you know where Finn is, Carol?" she asked. Finn's mom smiled and nodded her head in the direction of Quinn's room. She should have known; he was always in there. Readying herself for some serious apologising, she headed towards the room. When she got there, Finn was sat in the chair next to the bed, and Quinn was fast asleep. Finn had his head I his hands and was staring at the ground, but looked up when Rachel walked in. He smiled at her nervously, not sure whether she was still mad at him. She smiled warmly and apologetically back, so he assumed she wasn't.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?" she whispered to him. He nodded, glancing at Quinn to make sure she was okay before following Rachel out of the room.

"What's up?" he asked her. She opened her mouth to say something, but ended up throwing herself into his arms. He was surprised, but quickly wrapped his arms around her and returned the hug.

"I missed you. And I am so sorry! I thought…it's a long story, but Carol just explained to me that you told Quinn you guys broke up and you liked someone else, and I assumed that person was me, and then I felt really bad because I was avoiding you because I thought you had gotten back together with her, and she said you were really upset about it, so I feel really stupid, and I am so sorry. It was just that Jesse turned up at my door and I realised that I really am over him, and that I wanted to give us a try, so it hurt to see you kissing her, and-" Finn stopped her babbling by kissing her. It was their first kiss, and it was short and sweet, but Rachel instantly found herself desperate for more, as did Finn.

"I'm sorry Rachel. I'm sorry you thought I was back with Quinn. I should have confronted you, found out sooner…" she shushed him.

"Forget about what you should have done. What's done is done, and no matter how many 'should've's you come up with, that's not going to change." She said softly. He smiled at her, and kissed her again. She grinned up at him, the pulled away. He frowned at her, but she just giggled.

"Come on; let's go talk to your mom. I think we should go somewhere. You've been stuck in this hospital for way too long; you need to get a shower, firstly. Then we need to do something that will take your mind off of everything, okay?" she said, sternly. He nodded seriously, before breaking out into another grin and leaning in to steal another kiss. She smiled into his lips. They left the hospital hand in hand, once Finn had said goodbye to Quinn. Carol had smiled and told them to take their time, eyebrows raised in approval as she took in their clasped hands. Rachel just giggled, pecking the older woman on the cheek before leaving with Finn. As they walked out they passed Santana, who glared at the two of them. Rachel shrugged it off, and Finn didn't notice.

"So, where do you want to go?" Finn asked, reaching into his pocket for his wallet. His mom had given him the keys to her car. Then he cursed, and looked at Rachel apologetically.

"What's wrong?" she asked him.

"I left my wallet in Quinn's room." He said.

"Oh, okay, let's go get it."

"You can wait here if you want." He suggested, but she shook her head.

"I'll come. I don't want to look like a loner." She said, making Finn laugh.

"I'm sure you would be surrounded by admirers within two minutes." He joked. She nodded seriously.

"Yeah, I probably would." She agreed, before grinning. Finn knew she was joking, but he couldn't help but think that she was right.

They headed back into the hospital and past Carol, who didn't see them as she was busy talking to a man in a grey suit. When they got to Quinn's room Finn went to open the door, but stopped when he heard Santana's voice.

"Well, they were holding hands and acting all lovey-dovey when I walked out, Quinn. They looked like an item to me." She said in her bitchy, condescending tone. They heard Quinn sigh.

"I can't believe it didn't work. I faked amnesia for nothing! I might even have to re-do a whole year of high school! For nothing! And it's all because of that bitch, Rachel fucking Berry!" she said angrily. Rachel and Finn looked at each other, both with a shocked expression on their faces.

"Why would she do that?" Finn whispered, hurt and appalled. Rachel shrugged.

"I guess she really loved you." She sighed, backing away from the door. Finn followed her, pulling her into a hug. She smiled sadly, relaxing into his embrace.

"I really loved Quinn, Rachel. She was the first really serious girlfriend I had, and she used to be different. She used to be a really great person. And maybe she still is a great person, you know, underneath." He sighed. Rachel nodded, tears springing to her eyes. She pulled away and looked down.

"I get it. You want to try again with her. You want to-"

"I never said that. I loved Quinn. But Rachel?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you more."

Thanks for reading, you guys rock! :D Please review, maybe I'll write more Finchel in future… :D
