The next day, Finn and Rachel were taken in by the police to be asked a couple of questions concerning their encounter with Jesse. After Rachels wounds from Jesse were taken care of, they found Rachels parents and took her home, relieved that their daughter was alright after she went missing since she got dumped in the river.

A few weeks had passed since the incident and Rachel secluded herself in her room, with her parents and friends from school visiting her and cheering her up. She would only leave the room to visit her therapist, her parents paying for the sessions.

Eventually the time came when Jesse's trial came through, and after Finn and Rachel testified the judge sentenced him guilty and had his punishment as execution for rape and first-degree murders. Jesse glared angrily at Finn and Rachel for the sentence he was given even thought he had no one to blame but himself.

A few days later, Rachel had invited Finn over to her house so they could talk. When Finn came, her father told him she was in the backyard. Finn went and saw that she was sitting on the ground in a white dress gazing at a sunflower.

"Rachel?" She turned around and gave a small smile. "Oh Finn hi."

"So...are you alright?" he asked her. "Yes I will be now. It'll give me a little more time before I forget about Him. I won't ever forget everything He put me through, but I won't let it get in the way of my goals in life."

She got up and looked squarely at Finn. "I'll need your help to get through all this."

"Of course. I'll do anything to help." he answered. "Finn, theres no words to express how much I thank you for saving my life."

Finn looked down, took a deep breath, and looked at Rachel. "Rachel."

He caressed her hands gently. "You know, ever since I met you in the hospital, I never got to tell you how I feel. And well...I was wondering, would you-would you like to go out with me?"

Rachels expression widened as he said this, and gave him a warm smile. "Why yes Finn. I would love to be your girlfriend."

They both blushed heatly and stared at each other for the longest time. They leaned in and, before they knew it, they were kissing each other passionatly for the first time.
