Thanks to everyone who has read my story. I know that there are probably stories more worthy of your time than this one, but thanks for taking time out of your busy lives to read this. You are all awesome!

A/N: Since I obviously don't know where things are located and since the University of Georgia is not located in Atlanta, Rachel is now attending Georgia State University since that it is Atlanta. Also, Finn attained his associate's degree in Mass Communications and that is why he is already working. Rachel is a couple years younger than him. She's 18 and he's 20. I hope that clears up any confusion that you might have had. Anywho, here's chapter 2. Enjoy!

Chapter 2-Fate

It had been two weeks since Rachel and Finn had gone on their date together. He was nervous to call her. He had just gotten out of a horrible relationship just a few weeks prior to him going on that date with Rachel. While attending community college, Finn thought that he met the woman of his dreams in Quinn Fabray. They had been in a relationship for a while and Finn was about to pop the question, when Quinn confessed that she was unfaithful to him. This made Finn angry that he decided to break things off with her and move as far away from her as he could. That is when he got the call from KTZN, a major news station in Atlanta. In a heartbeat, Finn accepted the job and found an apartment. He became the newest sportscaster for them and he loves every second of it.

Rachel had dreamed of Broadway her whole life and when she applied to Julliard she was sure that she was going to make it in. However, her dreams went down the drain when she discovered that she didn't get into the prestigious school. With some encouragement from her gay dads and her friend, Kurt, she applied to Georgia State University to study art. She was ecstatic when she made it into GSU that she immediately began packing her things and started searching for apartments. She was also in a relationship with whom she thought as her dream guy-Jesse St. James. Jesse supported her dream of becoming an actress on Broadway. When he found out about her not getting into Julliard, he became furious. He broke up with her and told her that he didn't want to be with her if she wasn't famous. Kind of a jerk, huh? She took the breakup hard, but decided to keep her chin up and go to college without a man. Well, that was before she went on the date with Finn Hudson.

"I'm telling you, man. I thought that Quinn was the woman for me, but this Rachel girl, she's something else. I must have seen her smile a thousand times during our date. She looked beautiful. I think she may be the one." Finn told his best friend, Noah Puckerman during a break from filming highlights of the Hawks game.

"If this woman is so spectacular, than why haven't you called her?" Puck wondered.

"I don't know, man. I guess I'm just afraid that she'll do the same thing to me that Quinn did to me. I can't take that chance."

"Finn, listen to me. It sounds like you like this girl a lot and you shouldn't let some crazy girl bring you down. Not every girl is like Quinn."

"You know what? You're right. I came here to Atlanta to get a fresh start in life and I shouldn't let some incident cause me to be unhappy. I'm going to call her" Finn told him and ran off—not noticing that the break was over and he needed to start filming the highlights again.

Rachel sat in the coffee shop near campus working on some of her newest projects when her phone buzzed.

"Hello?" she answered.

"Hello, Rachel. It's me, Finn"

"Finn! Oh my gosh! It's been two weeks. I thought maybe I scared you off or something."

"Oh no, Rachel, nothing like that. I was just nervous to call you."

"Nervous? Why would you be nervous?" she wondered.

"Well, before I lived here in Atlanta, I lived in Ohio. I was in love with this girl or so I thought. I was even going to propose to her. Then that was when she told me that she was unfaithful to me. I broke up with her and I moved here. Then I met you and there was something about you that I couldn't describe. You made me forget Quinn, but also at the same time, I was afraid that you would do the same to me that she did. That's why it took me this long to call you back."

"Finn, don't be ridiculous. I would never do that. I actually got out of a horrible relationship too. I was dating this great guy, Jesse. He supported me while I wanted to be on Broadway. When he learned that I didn't get into Julliard, he told me that he didn't want to support me as an art student. I decided what have I got to lose? So that's why I applied to study art at GSU and now I'm here. I love it here."

"Wow, Rach, I had no idea. I guess maybe this means something." He told her.

"Yes, maybe it does." She agreed.

"Would you maybe like to go out with me again on Saturday night?" he asked.

"Of course I would" she replied.

"Cool, then it's a date!" he exclaimed.

And with that, the two hung up the phone and went back to working on their projects.

Finn ran down the hall to where Puck was screaming.

"Dude, she said yes!" he squealed.

"I told you, man. You are so hot for her." Puck replied.

"No, I'm not."

"And you are also the worst liar in the world."

"Fine, you caught me. I think she's the one, man"

"That's great, Finn, but we should probably finish working on the highlights before Schue cuts the shit"

And the two go about working on the highlights.

"Kurt!" Rachel screamed the moment she walked into her apartment. "I have another date!"

"That's great, Rachel, with Finn again?" he wondered.

"Yes. Now can you help me pick out something to wear?"

"It would be my pleasure"

And the two walked into her room to look for something for Rachel to wear.

A/N: Cute little chapter I think. What do you think? Should I upload my other stories that I've started? Reviews are love.
