Hola chicas! just a short one!
remember: reviews are magic***
He could hear distant voices as he started to stir. His head was hurting; probably from a mix of stress, lack of sleep and crying. As the room started to brighten, a petite silhouette sat in the hospital bed became visible to him. He rubbed his eyes and sat up abruptly.
"Rachel?" he called out loudly, relief in his voice. She had woken up, two weeks and finally a sense of life in her.
He stumbled as he ran to her side, he stopped at the bed, scared that he may hurt her broken body if he scooped her up in his arms as he wanted to do. Her face was still scarred and her stitches still visible. Dark circles swallowed her confused, tired eyes. She timidly looked up at him but said nothing. She looked different; of course scars and bruises laced her face and she was still drained from the accident; but it was the way she was looking at him that was different. As if he was a stranger.
"You don't know how happy I am that you're ok Rach" he choked out. She nodded, and then looked to the doctor and two nurses who entered then room.
"When will I get to see my dads?" she asked, her voice scratchy. The room was silent, Megan glanced over at Finn. Everyone was clearly taken back by the un-recognition of Finn in the room.
"They are on their way Miss Berry, but your friend Finn has been staying here since your accident, awaiting your awakening" The Doctor politely replied.
"Boyfriend" Finn corrected, even though the Doctor already knew that. She looked at him with confusion.
"Finn?" she said to him and his heart literally fell through the floor. It wasn't a 'Finn' confirming who he was. It wasn't a 'Finn' looking for reassurance. It was a 'Finn' as in 'who the hell is Finn?'. He didn't know what to say, his throat was tight with tears.
"Do you recognize Mr Hudson, Miss Berry?" Megan asked timidly.
"I'm sorry, i don't think so. I also don't know what I'm doing here? What accident happened? Wait, you're my boyfriend? What happened to Jesse? And where are my dads? Oh my god, how much school have I missed!?..."
"Calm down Rachel, I need you to take some deep breaths. Lets wait for your dads to get here then we can have a talk and run some tests to help unnerve you" the doctor tried to calm Rachel down.
"Mr Hudson, I think it'd be better if you came with me" Megan politely touched Finn on the shoulder and led him to the door as all this was going off. His eyes never left her as he exited the room. He still couldn't say anything, all words left him. She couldn't remember him? What was going on? They had been together for 3 years, known each other for 4, and a bump to her head has erased all her memory of him? This couldn't be, it just couldn't. He fell to the floor outside her room and Megan knelt down to consolidate him. This wasn't how it was meant to be.
Keeping the legacy of the character Finn Hudson alive by carrying on fan fiction's is a positive thing to do in my eyes. That's why i shall carry on with this story.
