14. I Thought I Could Find Myself
"This is it, baby girl, you're really getting married. I can't believe this," Hiram gushes, giving Rachel her third glass of champagne.
Well, he and Leroy had just gotten here, so they didn't know that she had been drinking a lot to try and calm her nerves.
"Yeah, it's so weird," Rachel laughs awkwardly and sits down on the pedestal to keep pampering herself. She's wearing a white slip, that's it. Kurt's bringing her crazy dress from the dry cleaners. She applies her light eye shadow and takes a deep breath.
"You look nervous. Are you regretting this," Leroy asks, hoping that she would come to her senses and just say that she doesn't want this.
"No! Why does everyone keep asking me this? I just… It's a big day and there are paparazzi here, courtesy of Adam, and I just am really nervous about being in front of so many people," She blows up.
"Oh I see," Hiram nods. "Yeah that could be stressful. Just relax and drink some champagne."
She smirks and drinks the tangy liquid quickly. Someone knocks on the door and she gets up to go and open it up.
"Look at the beautiful bride!" Blaine exclaims, pulling Rachel in for a friendly hug.
"I'm not even in my dress yet, Blaine," Rachel blushes.
Kurt comes in and hangs the large, poufy thing up.
"Doesn't change the beautiful part," He kisses her cheek sweetly.
Rachel hugs him again and then hugs Kurt.
"I'm actually getting excited," She admits. Of course she'd never tell them that she was just excited to get this all over with.
"Alright, princess, you ready to put the dress on? You've got twenty minutes until it's actually time."
"I'll go check and see how the guests are doing," Blaine steps out in his suit.
The bridesmaids (some acquaintances from Rent) fix their leopard print dresses that Adam insisted on them wearing and all step out of the way for Kurt to help Rachel put the dress on.
Her daddy and dad go to the back and zip her up, helping put her veil on around her tight ballerina bun.
They back up after fixing her all up and smile brightly, completely impressed and in awe.
"It's beautiful," Hiram exclaims although he knows that the dress just isn't Rachel.
"Yes, you are stunning, princess," Leroy wipes at the tears of that had fallen from his eyes.
Rachel lets out a giggle and looks into the mirror. Then she starts laughing hysterically.
"Look at me! God, it's such an ugly dress," She thinks to herself.
Everyone looks around uncomfortably as she recovers.
Blaine comes in and tells the bridesmaids to get into their places. Hiram and Leroy go out with them to make sure everything is right and to go sit in the audience. Adam didn't want people to be offended by having to men walk Rachel down the aisle, so he begged them to just sit in the audience. Kurt kissed Rachel and wished her good luck before leaving to walk out as her man of honor.
Now she was all by herself. She drinks some more champagne and looks into the mirror. Is she really about to do this? Marry a man that she doesn't love one single bit?
She opens the door and starts walking down the corridors. Everyone must have walked out already. Her breathing starts to get shallow and her hands are shaking. Tears are welling up in her eyes.
She feels dirty.
Her feet start to pick up the speed in her five inch heels, another thing Adam decided about their wedding. She starts walking too fast, causing her to step on the dress and fall down to her knees. The dress poufs around her and looks like she's sitting on a bean bag.
She covers her face with her hands and lets out a quiet, disappointed sob.
Who is she? Who is this girl who is making this huge mistake?

Finn was feeling queasy as he sat in the pew, looking around at the other guests. No one had started to walk down the aisle yet. He quickly stood up and left, ignoring his mother's protests to sit down because it was going to start soon. He runs out to the bathroom past a whole bunch of girls in matching dresses.
He's assuming that they are the bridesmaid's. He gets into the bathroom and relieves himself, peeing into the urinal. There's some shorter guy standing next to him. He can tell that this guy is a douche by the way he's barking into his phone to someone.
Finn goes to wash his hands and can't help but listen.
"Don't worry about Rachel. She's nothing. We're doing this just so she can shut her damn mouth and be satisfied. It's a publicity stunt," The guy snaps quietly.
Finn dries his hands off and grips the door handle so he won't punch this guy. Correction; so he won't punch Adam Zimmer. He opens the door and Adam walks out before him with a cocky grin before walking down out to the doors that lead into the church. Finn shuts the door again and takes a couple of breaths to steady him before splashing some water on his face.
He looks into the mirror. He's going to stop this wedding. No way in hell would he let her marry him, not after that bit of information was leaked. He wonders if Rachel knows about this. Probably not.
He opens the door and goes out, ready to start his mission.
