Chapter two
Walking home from Callbacks got me thinking what happened.
Over the last few years many things that have changed but also some that have stayed the same. I am still the talented Rachel Barbra Berry. But other things have changed. Like my drive and my ability to trust other people especially after I was attacked. There are only a few people that know what happened. Everyone was told one specific thing that they were told not to. And that was telling anything to Finn. To be honest being away from him was difficult but necessary. Especially since I found out that he was engaged.
I was so lost in thought that I hadn't realized that I was to my building until the doorman greeted me. Even though I've told him a thousand times to call me Rachel he still insists on calling me . "Back so soon ?" He asked as he held the door open for me to walk through. "Yes, I suppose so Charles." I answered before heading to the elevator. Still very deep in thought. I kept wondering how Finn found me when I did everything in my power to stay hidden. I opened the door to the apartment then deposited my key into the hook we keep for the keys.
"Hey, Rach back so soon?" Blaine asked once I entered the door. "Yea, where's Kurt?" I asked. "He's on the phone. Though I couldn't tell you with who." Blaine said. "Ahh, thanks. Did you know that Finn was in town?" I asked. "Actually I did. Don't shoot the messenger." Blaine said. "Does he know anything?" I asked. "Not that I'm aware. But I do know that he has been looking for you the last few years. He's apparently been in New York for a year going to school to get his teaching degree. But that's all that I know I swear. I think Kurt might know more than I do. Since they are family after all." Blaine said as we went to sit on the couch. "I'll talk to him once he gets off the phone. See if I can get some answers out of him." I said. "Though Rachel don't you think it is time that you told him?" Blaine asked. "Who Finn?" I asked. "Yes, I think it would do you some good if he knew about it. Or at least talking about it with someone." Blaine said. We were to absorbed in our conversation to notice that Kurt was off the phone and had come into the living room. "Blaine's right Diva. Besides the few of us you don't talk about it. You don't really trust anyone outside of our little 'family'. Well since it happened." Kurt said sitting down on the comfy chair. "So who was on the phone Kurt?" I asked. "Are you sure that you want to know?" Kurt asked. "Not entirely, but tell me anyway." I said as I took a deep breath to brace for impact. "It was Finn. You have him quite worried." Kurt said. "Well it's not his problem to worry about me anymore. We haven't been together for last few years." I said as I was starting to get frustrated over the entire situation. "We don't mean to get you upset Diva. But you need to tell him. He has already asked me what you are hiding when I was on the phone with him just now. You need to tell him everything he knows something is up." Kurt said with a sad look upon his face. Similar to the one that I had on my face following my attack. "You may be right but that doesn't make it any easier. It still hurts just saying it out loud." I said as the tears started to fall down my cheeks. "Then just tell me what it is?" Finn said I hadn't really been paying attention to the world around me. "Finn how did you get in let alone know where I live?" I asked with tears still falling down my face. "I was invited over by my favorite brother." Finn said making all of us laugh. "Well Finn and Rachel we're going to leave the two of you alone. You two need to talk. Alone." Blaine said dragging Kurt into their bedroom.. "Their right we do need to talk. There is a lot to talk about. I want you to trust me again. Even if it takes the rest of my life." Finn said taking my hands into his. "There is so much that I am not ready to tell you." I said as I tried to take my hands away from him and failing. "Rachel please I want to get to know you again. Especially since we haven't talked in two years at least." Finn said. "You're right it was what Tina & Mike's wedding or Kitty & Artie's?" I asked. "I believe it was Tina & Mike's. Kurt got so wasted that he tried to make out with Puck but luckily Blaine understood and kept tabs on him after that. Especially since they were married shortly after that." Finn said as we laughed at the memory. "Hey I heard that!" Kurt exclaimed from the bedroom. "Well how about we get caught up by asking questions. You don't have to answer them if you don't want to." Finn said as he brought my hand up to kiss it. Which seemed to perfect to be real to me. "Finn why are you here?" I asked. "That is the question of the day." Finn said letting go of my hands to rub his neck. Which he always use to do when he was nervous. "Well you still haven't answered the question." I said as I smile crept up onto my face. "Well the answer to that question is not an easy one. To answer. But for you I will try. I am here because I have spent the last few years looking for you. All anyone would tell me was where you workied. I would always go in on my days off of school which coincidentally where your days off of work. I was always looking for you. I know that sounds cheesy but it's the truth." Finn said as I started to get tears in my eyes.
