Finn just sat in shock.
He knew he was mean when he drunk, but never did he think it would be that bad. He wanted to cry. He could feel the tears forming in his eyes. "I have to go." He spoke almost in a whisper as he dashed out of the auditorium and ran to his car. He jumped in to his car, blasted his "best of Journey" CD and cried. He had never been in such a mess. Even after Rachel found out about him and Santana. He hadn't exactly reacted in the nicest of ways to that either. He shouted at her about why she has no right to be mad when they weren't even together when it happened. Rachel however didn't shout at him, she just told him that it wasn't the fact that they weren't together at the time, but the fact that he lied about it and gave away something special, to someone who meant nothing to him.
After about an hour, he figured he'd need to get out of the car soon. He had a glee rehearsal today. Then he remembered. He was supposed to be practicing his new duet with Rachel today. Maybe skipping one rehearsal wouldn't be so bad. Not that he didn't want to speak to Rachel, he really did. He just didn't know what he'd say when he saw her. He needed a way to get her alone so they could talk. However first, he needed to work out what he'd actually say when he finally got the chance.
When he finally got home after an hour long drive around Lima, he was surprised to see that Kurt was already home. "Oh, hey dude. What are you doing home already?" "Mr Schue canceled rehearsal as neither you, Rachel, Puck or Quinn were at practice. Where were you?" Then Finn realised, he'd have to tell him sooner or later. So he sat down and told him everything.
"Wow Finn. You need to get her back. But, it's not going to be easy. Especially after something as huge as this. She might never trust you again. But you love her right?" Finn just looked at him with that look that said "are you really having to ask?" Kurt just laughed. "Well then. You need to show her just how much you do care. Before it's too late and she moves on." When Finn heard the words "moves on" he almost lost it again. He couldn't go through seeing her with someone else. "Kurt, you have to help me think up something to get her back. I love her too much to let her go." "As much as I'd love to help you get your girl back, you're going to need to figure this one out on your own."
Finn spent at least 3 hours thinking up something that would show Rachel just how important she was to Finn, and also, how sorry he was. Then he went back to a conversation he had with Sam the week before, and suddenly, he had the best idea ever. When Sam wanted to show Quinn how much she meant to him, she went out and bought her a promise ring. Finn thought this would be the perfect thing to do as it would show Rachel just how sorry he was, and also, how much he loved her. With the perfect idea in hand, he told Kurt, and he freaked out. "Finn, it's perfect. If this doesn't get her back, I don't know what will." Kurt and Finn then dashed to the store in search for the perfect ring.
Arriving at school the next day, Finn was more excited than anything else, well, he was really nervous too. He had no idea how Rachel was going to react to it all. For all he knew, she could be with someone else now. Finn tried to keep those thoughts in the back of his head as he focused on the goal: getting his girlfriend back. Even more than that, he wanted to show to her just how sorry he was for everything that has happened, not just the party.
Finn ran everything by the glee club, and to his surprise, they all seemed excited about it. "Dude, I'm sorry okay. I may have been wrong. You and Rachel are perfect together. Just go and get her back, and promise her you'll never drink .. well too much again." Finn fist-bumped Puck and went straight to the auditorium. Kurt was already there setting up the music and Artie was getting the lights just right. After about 10 minutes, Kurt texted Rachel telling her to come straight to the auditorium. Artie turned off all the lights and placed one single spotlight on Finn.
Showtime.
AN: I know this wasn't exactly the best chapter, but I just really wanted to finish this. Sorry about the lame factor of this.
