Sorry I haven't updated in a while! Sorry for the sad chapter, but I promise it's a happy ending so just stay with me! (:
We had all stayed up pretty late last night because of Blaine's arrival. We found out that he was staying for the weekend so he could now come with us to Callbacks tonight. It was now Saturday morning, well afternoon; we all had woken up at around 12. Finn and I were the first to get up and started to make breakfast for everyone. Blaine and Kurt rolled out of bed around 12:30; the two of them emerged from Kurt's bedroom and took two seats at the breakfast bar.
"Sleep well?" I say in my cheery morning tone.
"Great. What's for breakfast?" Kurt said half yawning with his hair a mess.
"Omelets." Finn turned away from the stove to reply to them.
"Delightful." Blaine chimed in.
"So is everyone excited for Callbacks tonight?" Rachel asked taking a seat beside Blaine at the breakfast bar.
"I know I am. I have a special song that I'll be singing to Kurt." Blaine says while laying his hand down on top of his boyfriend's that sat on the counter.
"What kind of place is this anyway Rach'? Finn asked over from the stove.
"It's a coffee shop where a bunch of Nyada kids go and perform and stuff. It's a lot of fun Finn! Kurt and I have been several times with Brody." After saying this, I wondered if I should have mentioned Brody's name. After all I'm not quite sure that Finn understands what exactly happened between us before he knocked on the door. Right now Finn is under the impression that we are just friends, and that's that. Which is the truth, nothing else will happen with Brody, because there are no feelings there, on my end at least.
"Oh, alright sounds cool. Will Brody be there?" Finn questioned.
"I would imagine so; he is the one who invited us all to come tonight." Rachel said.
"OK. Breakfast is served!" Finn spins around and sets a plate in front of each of us.
"Looks great Finn." Kurt said.
Finn then placed another plate in front of mine, and he stood at the other side of the breakfast bar. The four of us all started to eat our omelets. We all enjoyed our breakfast, chatted and laughed; it felt so good to have the four of us hanging out like this again. I noticed that Finn kept sneaking looks at me and when I turned to him he would just show me his adorable smile. Once we all had finished we stacked our plates on the side and decided to clean up later.
Kurt and Blaine made their way over to the couch to watch a little TV. I was the last to put my plate on the side and after I had done so I felt two hands on my waist. The hands quickly spun me around and it was Finn. He leaned down and kissed me softly.
"Good morning." He said in his adorable sleepy voice.
"Morning." I said with a giggle. "Come on; let's go watch TV with Kurt and Blaine." I grabbed his hand and led him over to the couch.
It was now 6:00 and I was standing in front of my dresser brushing my hair to get ready for Callbacks and Finn was sitting on my bed putting on his shoes. He had just put on his last shoe, got up from the bed and approached me from behind.
"Ready to go?" He lent around from behind me and kissed my cheek.
"Absolutely." I turned around and smiled at him. We exited my bedroom hand in hand to find Kurt and Blaine putting on their jackets at the door. Finn and I walk over and do the same.
"Alright, let's get going! Ah! I'm so excited for this." Kurt exclaimed, while squeezing Blaine's arm in excitement. I was last to leave the apartment and locked the door behind me.
It was about a fifteen minute walk to Callbacks. Once we exited our apartment building and were on our way Kurt and Blaine walked a little bit ahead and Finn and I stayed back. As we were walking Finn wrapped his long arm around my shoulder and I swung my arm and wrapped it around his lower back.
"You fit so perfectly in with this city Rachel. Did you know that?" Finn said breaking the silence.
"I always thought I did. But it's nice to actually see someone else point it out. I think you fit in here too you know? I said looking up to him.
"Really?" He asked, sounding like he didn't believe me.
"Yes! And together in this city we couldn't fit better!" I exclaimed.
"That's sweet. But I agree."
We both smile at each other and share a small kiss. When we broke apart I realize that we had arrived and Kurt and Blaine were waiting for us at the entrance.
"Come on you two! We don't have all night." Kurt joked whilst holding the door open for us.
"Right, sorry." I said and ran up to the door, with Finn close behind.
As we entered we started walking around to try and find a good table. The place was packed so this was especially difficult. Luckily we found a high table for four and we all took our seats after removing our jackets. A guy who I recognized from around school was currently performing Fun's We Are Young.
"This place is so cute!" Cooed Blaine.
"I told you." Kurt said.
"I wonder where Brody is." I say peering my head around the coffee shop.
"Hm, I don't know." Finn said.
"Rachel!" I look ahead of me and see Brody sitting at one of the bar stools with his hand in the air waving at me.
"Oh there he is! I'll go say hi, Finn you should come with me, Brody would love to meet you, officially anyway." I said getting off of my chair and holding Finn's forearm.
"Yeah alright." Finn and I made our way over to Brody.
"Yeah guys!" He greeted us, then turned to Finn. "Hey Finn, it's great to finally meet you." He held out his hand for Finn to shake. Finn accepted the gesture but I could tell he was hesitant.
"Yeah, you too, thanks for inviting us all tonight. You should come over and sit with us." Finn said sounding friendly.
"Yeah, I definitely will, right after I perform. I'm up next." Brody replied.
"Ooh! What song are you going to sing?" Rachel interjected.
"Give Your Heart A Break."
"Oh my god! I love that song!" Rachel announced.
"You can sing it with me if you'd like, we'll make a duet out of it."
"Oh I'd love to! Is that alright Finn?" Rachel asked excitedly.
"Yeah, that'd be great! I'll just go back over to Kurt and Blaine and watch you guys." Finn said, I sensed that he really did not want me to sing with Brody, but he didn't seem too bothered about it.
"Ok." I leaned over and kissed him sweetly, and he returned the favor. The guy who was just performing had finished and the host was now gesturing for Brody to go on stage. Brody and I walked away and Finn went back to the table.
Finn's POV
The pianist had begun to play the song and not long after Rachel and Brody started to sing. I barely knew this guy and I could tell he had a thing for Rachel. I don't particularly like him; he's giving me a weird vibe. Beside me Blaine and Kurt have started to sway to the song. I'm suddenly completely mesmerized by Rachel's voice and all my bad thoughts disappear. I have always loved watching her perform; it was one of the things that I loved about her most. She is owning the song and the stage right now.
Then all of a sudden the bad thoughts are back, I do not like the way Brody is looking at her. Rachel is looking at him, but I can tell it's just acting because of the many times I have seen her perform in glee club. She was just making a good show; he had something different in mind. The song had finally finished and I had an angry look on my face. The audience clapped and cheered and it was now Blaine's turn to go up and perform, and he lept up from his seat and headed for the stage.
Rachel's POV
I made my way back to my seat beside Finn and Brody went back to his seat at the bar. As I sat down Finn seemed angry, and the smile I showed to him soon disappeared.
"What's wrong?" I asked Finn.
"Can we talk after? Blaine is about to start." Finn said quietly turning towards Blaine and I slowly did the same. I was confused as to why Finn was acting this way.
Blaine was sat behind the piano and started to play a slower version of Teenage Dream. His eyes were locked on Kurt the whole duration of his performance. It was so beautiful both Blaine and Kurt were getting choked up at the performance. Once Blaine had finished he ran back over to Kurt and they shared a sweet kiss.
"Thank you." Kurt whispered wiping a couple tears from his face.
"I love you." Blaine said.
"I love you too." Kurt replied.
After seeing this it made my heart melt. The two of them were so in love, it made me incredibly happy. I then turned to Finn to see that he looked mad. "Can we talk now Finn?" I asked.
"Yeah, let's go outside." He got up and went outside and I followed closely behind.
When we got outside I noticed that it was raining slightly. Finn was walking slightly ahead of me and stopped abruptly underneath a street lamp.
"What's th-"I began.
"What happened between you and Brody before I came to your door?" Finns asked calmly but still sounding angry.
"Oh, ok. Listen Finn-"
"Just tell me Rach!" Finn's voiced had now risen.
"We kissed ok? We kissed!" I yelled.
"How could you Rach?" Finn's voice was now cracking.
"Well what was I supposed to do Finn? You left me at the train station on our wedding day! And you haven't been communicating with me all summer! I didn't know where you were, or even if you were coming back!"
"Well, I'm sorry Rach. But you full well know why I left you at the train station. I let you go, for your own good. You never would have come here if I hadn't done that." He was right; I did know that, I was just looking for a good argument. "But I truly am sorry for not communicating with you over the past couple months, that was just stupid of me." Finn now sounded truly upset.
"If I had known you were coming back I would have never kissed Brody." I had now begun to cry.
"I-I just love you so much Rachel, and I wanted to think about what I was doing before I came back to you." Finn was now getting choked up.
"And I love you too! So much Finn! And I have no feelings towards Brody whatsoever, please believe me!" I pleaded with tears now streaming down my face.
"I just need some time to think Rachel." Finn said almost breaking my heart and he began walking away slowly.
"Wait what?" I jogged after him. "Where are you going?"
"I don't do, I just need to think Rach." Finn said without turning around but continued walking down the street.
"Wait!" I yelled but Finn kept walking. "Don't go." I said so faintly he couldn't hear it. I was so upset at his action; my tears had now consumed me. My head fell into my hands as I stood there crying in the street, just hoping for Finn to pull my hands away, wipe my tears and kiss me, but he didn't.
