AN: The song in the last chapter was from my favorite musical Wicked. And 'As Long As You're Mine' seemed to fit. Lol Reviews are always appreciated. :)
Rachel woke up the next morning feeling like something bad was going to happen. She couldn't shake the feeling as she took a shower and got dressed. Her phone buzzed as she was walking out to the door. It was a text from Finn.
What the hell? We need to talk asap! :/ -F
She looked at her phone confused. What did he mean?
What are u talking bout Finn? Is everything ok? I have a few things to do this morning but we could meet for lunch?-R
Yeah, I think that's best. Meet me at the sandwich shop near my work around 1.-F
See u then.-R
Rachel ran her errands got done early. She went to Shar's Sandwich Shop, which was down the street from Finn's work. She waited for what seemed like an eternity, but in actuality was only 15 minutes before Finn walked into the door. He headed towards her with a sour look on her face.
"What the hell, Rachel?" he asked.
"What do you mean, Finn?" she asked hoping deep down that this had nothing to do with Rory.
"What the hell is this about?" he asked as he shoved his phone at her with a picture showing. It was a picture of Rory and herself kissing on the stage in the auditorium. "I know you were practicing, but I didn't know you were practicing cheating."
Her words were at a loss. Her eyes were filled with tears when she looked up at Finn. He looked at her and knew that everything he thought was true. He sat down as the a few tears escaped her eyes.
"How long as this been going on?" he asked unsure of what else to say.
"For about a month," she replied. "Since Sectionals."
"How could you do this? I thought we were it for each other Rachel," he said. "What the hell happened?"
"It just happened. I thought you were everything I ever wanted. But then Rory and I talked and fell for each other. It doesn't mean I don't love you. I don't know what it means," she replied.
"Well, I can tell you what it means for us. We are over. I love you, but there is no way I can be with you after this."
With that he got up and left. She ran to the bathroom and locked the door. How did this happen? Who took that picture? Sure, she understood what she did was wrong, but she loved them both and wasn't sure who she wanted to be with yet. She had to talk to Rory. She dialed his number. She got his voicemail.
"We need to talk," was all she said before breaking down into tears.
