'Hello, you have reached the answering service of Rachel Berry, up and coming Broadway star! Sorry I am unable t….'.
he hung up the phone and tried again only to reach her over enthusiastic and excited voice yet again. She had been gone for an hour and he was starting to get worried to where she'd gone. The store was only a 5 minute walk away and she had said that she was only going to get things for breakfast, so why was she taking so long? Maybe she had decided to do a big shop…. But she wouldn't be able to carry it all by herself back? Well maybe there was a long queue….. on a Sunday morning, that's highly doubtful. His mind was reasoning her absence, trying to cover up his womanish worry that grew inside of him. He was protective over Rachel, and when she didn't reply to her phone or was ever missing he would panic and build up scenarios in his head. They were never true and most the time he got himself so worked up over it, that he knew he should just calm down. He put down the little black box he was fiddling with in his hands and walked into the kitchen to make himself a coffee when he saw Rachel's purse. If she's gone to the shop without her purse then how if she going to pay for the food? This was his excuse, so that when he found Rachel and she made fun of him for being worried and like a 'scared little girl' he could just say he was going to save her of embarrassment when she had no money to pay for the food. He grabbed the key and unlocked the door and made his way to the local store. There was only one way the store and it was a nice little walk. Him and Rachel always walked there instead of using the car because of how pretty it was. Once out the apartment he walked along a back alley that came out along a little path with trees either side. They arched over the path and white flowers grew off, of them. He was remembering all the times him and Rachel had walked, hand in hand, down this path, breeze in their hair, the smell of the flowers invading their noses, and the sound of pure bliss. His thought was interrupted by the siren of an ambulance racing down the road beside the path. You couldn't see the road, or even hear the cars normally until the path intercepted the road, but the siren blared away.
As the path turned and started to come to an end, the road was starting to come into sight. Finn spotted the ambulance that he obviously heard earlier. As he got nearer it was obvious that there had been an accident; there was an ambulance and paramedic crew and the road had been section off, there was a car half on the pavement and some people crowding round and…. His legs suddenly stopped moving, his eyes stopped seeing and all the commotion and noises were deafened as one thought cam into his head… Rachel.
No it cant be, stop getting yourself worked up, she's fine, she has to be fine, NO, she is fine. No matter how many times he tried to reassure himself, he didn't believe it. His heart was racing, his hands clammy in anticipation as he approached the scene. One paramedic was standing at the barrier he headed towards him but then he saw her. She lay still on a stretcher, two men were beside her shouting to another who was in the back of the ambulance. But he couldn't keep his eyes away from her. Her chocolate brown hair messily laid above her with pieces of glass tangled in it. Her beautiful eyes closed shut and already obviously bruising. Her head was cut and trickles of blood fell down her perfect face. Her clothes ripped, her body limp, her legs grazed…. He didn't realise he was still walking, past the paramedic and past the barrier, trying to approached her.
"Hey sir, you're not allowed to pass the barrier!" the paramedic grabbed Finn's arms and pulled him back and out of his daze. Tears filled his eyes as panic and adrenaline overcame his body.
"No!" he shouted back in the mans face, escaping his arm from his grasp.
"T-t-that's my girlfriend, that's my Rachel "he says, shaking violently as the panic continues to control him.
He goes to run to Rachel's side again, so he can hold her and see if his love is alright but the paramedic stands in his way yet again but before he could say anything they were both distracted by the sudden commotion over by Rachel's body. "CLEAR" a man shouts as a sudden shot of electricity is shot through her tiny body jolting her violently. "CLEAR" it happens again and the another paramedic comes from the side to help. Finn's seen this in movies before, when the persons heart stops beating they use a defibrillator to restart it, sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. But this wasn't a movie, this wasn't set up, Rachel wasn't performing an award winning performance, this was real. Rachel's heart had stopped, and by the look of things wasn't starting again. No, no it cant be. Shes ok, she's going to be ok. He convinced himself as tears stained his t-shirt. She was now in the back of the ambulance and the doors banged shut. Finn couldn't let her go away, he needed to see her, to be with her, to pull her though, he couldn't lose her.
"Where is she going, where are they taking her? Is she ok, she's alive right? Please tell me, please help m.." he broke out into sobs as he held on to the paramedic for support.
"Sir, calm down, ok? She will be getting all the help we can give her. All w.."
"I need to see her" Finn interrupts the man clearly not listening to his condolences.
"I can take you in the car to the hospital, but when we get there you will have to respect the situation as your girlfriend is in an unstable condition, they need there space to help her, you might not be able to see her straight away. Do you understand me?"
"yes" Finn emotionally replied, by now all the blood and colour had run out his face as the mans sympathetic expression and choice of words made his blood turn cold, was he trying to suggest something? No, she was stronger than that, she is the strongest person he knows, she cant die, she won't die. Finn jumps in the ambulance car and they drive off to the hospital. He gazes out the window and flashes of his life appear in his eyes. All memories of him and Rachel, the past 4 years of his life with her, and it only makes him sadder, he cant imagine his life without her anymore. The little black box hidden in his bed side table, the future they hold together. She changed his life and now that she was in it he sure as hell wasn't letting her leave it now.
