So I meant to upload yesterday but I fell asleep and long story short I had to re write some parts. But here it is good as new.


The car ride to Rachel's house was nice, not awkward like he thought it would be. He joked around with Rachel, and he enjoyed making her laugh. When they reached the Berry's Finn had to admit that he was nervous. He didn't know how Mr. Berry was going to react to seeing him again. "Rach, You're dad isn't going to kill me right? I mean I did hit him with my truck."

Rachel put her hand on Finn's arm, "He doesn't want to kill you, he's ok with you. Like you said it was an accident." She looked down and then looked back up at him, pulling a strand of hair behind her ear. "And its Rachel, but if you keep it up Hudson you could be calling me Rach very shortly." She smiled and squeezed his arm.

"Oh really now, who says I want to call you Rach anyway?" Finn joked, as he took off his shoes with Rachel.

"You can call me Miss Berry, then if your not ok with my name." She laughed continuing on with the joke. He shook his head while letting out a few laughs.

Before Finn could continue, Mr. Berry came out of the kitchen on his crutches. "Wow what a surprise, my daughter and Mr. Hudson in the same room and no yelling. Its a miracle."

Rachel looked at her dad and shook her head. "Daddy, Finn and I are working on our problems ok? So butt out." She then gave her dad a stern look.

Finn then coughed making his presence known, "So Mr. Berry, how is everything going? I mean with your leg and all?"

Leroy smiled, "I'm doing good Finn, your mother sent over a fruit basket the other day. Will you please tell her that we appreciate it?" After Finn nodded, Leroy turned around and said, "Now come sit down, I made a salad for Rachel as a welcome home snack from school. Would you like some?" Finn smiled and nodded.

After getting adjusted at the kitchen table Finn looked over at Rachel as she talked to her dad. He never noticed her beauty and how perfect she looked from every angle. In that moment he knew that he would never let anyone hurt her. Rachel then turned to look at him and smiled, "You okay Finn? You're kind of just staring into space, its not gas right? I mean I think we may have something for that." She then turned to her dad, "Papa, do we still have that pill that helps with gas."

He chuckled to himself, "Rachel, I don't have gas, I was just looking around."

"Oh really now? And it's Rach, I mean if we're gonna be friends you may as well call me by my nickname." She smiled.

"Really?! Thanks Rach, finally Miss Berry, I thought you'd never let me call you Rach." He smiled and reached over and squeezed her hand. He ignored the look that her father was giving the two of them.

"Did she pull the Rach is only for friends card on you." Finn looked at the man and nodded. Leroy then looked at Rachel, "She's been playing that card for years, even when she and I get into an argument, she doesn't let me call her Rach for days on end."

"Oh is that so, you're more stubborn then I thought Berry!" Finn joked. Rachel looked at him and pouted. "Oh come on Rach, It was just a joke." Leroy couldn't help but chuckle at their conversation.

"Don't you mean Rachel? You lost your privileges till tomorrow." She smiled, but was very serious behind the eyes.

"See I told you!" Leroy burst out laughing. Finn couldn't help but chuckle. He liked being in the Berry house, It was full of fun, and family. He was faced with the total opposite when he was at Quinn's house. Her mom and dad were always fighting, and when he was over it would be like he never even existed. "Rachel, I think you broke Mr. Hudson here. He seems to be dazing into thin air." Leroy joked.

Rachel whispered, "I guess we know how the accident was caused now." Leroy smiled, and shook his head.

Finn, finally coming out of his daze smiled at the two, "So what did I miss?" The Berries both looked at each other and burst out laughing.


After lunch, Finn and Rachel headed to her living room to practice their singing. "So I think we should perform something in front of the glee club. Kind of like to show that our grudge against one another is over."

"Against one another? Rachel, I never had a grudge with you." He said.

"I know but, um wait you didn't? But all those years you slushied me, and called me names?" She looked at him confused.

He got up from off the couch, and walked directly to her. He placed both hands on her shoulder and whispered, "That wasn't the real me Rachel. I was just following a crowd that I thought I wanted to fit into but, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be the boy that you could trust then hurt anyone else." She smiled up at him and looked into his eyes deeply.

Before thinking about what she said, she blurted out "You can kiss me if you want to." Her eyes widened and she then tried to save herself, "I mean, um..no you don't have to. I don't even know why I said that."

Finn chuckled, he leaned down and just before his lips grazed hers, "I want too." He smiled and wrapped an arm behind her back, deepening the kiss. She pulled back after a minute or two when she felt Finn's pocket vibrate. "Sorry, sorry let me just put this on silent." He looked down at the caller ID and saw it was Quinn. He looked up and saw Rachel's eyes go wide.

"What did we do? You just cheated on your girlfriend, and I just became an accomplice. Oh my God, Finn you have to leave!" She said walking closer to him and started pushing him towards the door.

"Rach, I'm not going anywhere. I don't even want to be with Quinn anymore." He put his hand on the side of her face and smiled, "There is someone else, I'm starting to fall for."

"Yes, and no lie I'm starting to fall for you too. But you are still with her, so we can't continue whatever that was until you break it off with her." She said forcefully and referencing the kiss.

"Ok ok I'll break it off with her first. Are you ok though, has someone cheated on you in the past, I mean you're taking this really hard."Finn asked, moving Rachel to the couch to sit down. He really wanted to hear why she was so bent over this, also if she was cheated on he really wanted to find this guy and make him his new punching bag.

Rachel started tearing up,"Remember how I told you my dad left, well truth be told he left us to be with another man and his family. He met this younger guy and convinced him to run away with him. They now um have a son, and are expecting their second child." She started tearing up, "And you want to know how I know this, It's rather sad really, I created a fake facebook account because he blocked Pappa and I from his new life." She quietly sobbed into her hands, as Finn held her in his arms.

"Shhh, shhh I'll never let anyone hurt you again." He promised and repeated that over and over again until she stopped crying.


After the whole kissing and crying scene they decided to sit down and watch a movie. They settled on She's the Man, Its a comedy and a chick flick so they couldn't go wrong. Rachel paused the movie and looked up at Finn. He looked down at her and asked, "Why'd you pause the movie, this is my favorite part."

"I just want to ask you something that's been on my mind, you're not just falling for me because you feel bad about what happened with you and my dad right?" She asked hesitantly.

Finn put his hands on her cheek and rubbed it with his thumb, "No baby, of course not. I know that this started kind of fast but no. Maybe me hitting your dad was a sign for us to finally get to know each other." He said leaning in and kissing her head. Rachel nodded her head and leaned back into Finn's warm embrace. She let her thoughts fly as every negative thought go through her head.

"What about the kids at school? Are you actually going to hold my hand in the halls, wait for me by my locker?" She looked up at him.

He leaned down and kissed her hand again. "We will worry about that when the time comes to it."

"When the time comes to it? Finn the time has come, we are here. If you break up with Quinn soon we could be a couple in a matter of days. And you're saying when the time comes we'll deal with it." She stood up and yelled. "I think you should leave."

Finn stood up and walked in front of Rachel, "Rach, I didn't mean it like that, just please don't overthink this." He said before kissing her head and walking to the door. He turned around and looked sadly as Rachel cried into her hands. "Rachel, I'm really sorry. Please just have faith in us, in me!"

She looked up and cried, "Just go Finn, and just do the right thing." He nodded and headed to Quinn's house.


So that's it for chapter 5, read and review its what keeps me going. Thank you 3
