After Finn and Rory's night together, it seemed like time flew by! Before they knew it, it was almost time for Rory to leave and go back to Ireland. Rory was upset. He didn't want to leave. Rory didn't want to leave all of his new friends! They were like his second family. And he most certainly didn't want to leave Finn. He was scared that he may never see Finn again. Leaving Finn was going to be the hardest thing he ever had to do. Rory was starting to think that Finn was going to break up with him. They hadn't talked about their future together since that Saturday morning. Did Finn not want to have a future with him? Rory didn't want to think that, but that was what it seemed like.
It was Rory's last day at McKinley. He was leaving tomorrow. The whole day, Rory felt down. These had been the best few months of his life and now it was coming to an end. If Rory could stay forever, he would. But he would miss his family too much. Rory was happy to be going back, but he was also sad. He was happy to be seeing his family, but was also sad because he was going to be leaving Finn. Rory sighed as he cleaned out his locker. He had gotten everything out, except the picture of Finn. Rory touched the picture gently and smiled.
"Hey." Finn approached Rory at his locker.
"Hi." Rory said sadly.
"You ready for your last day of Glee Club?" Finn asked.
"No. I don't want it to be my last day." Rory said.
"I know." Finn sighed.
"Finn, I'm leaving tomorrow and we still haven't talked about us. What's going to happen?" Rory asked.
"I was going to wait until tonight, but…" Finn said. He started digging through his book bag until he found the little black box he was looking for.
"This is for you." Finn handed Rory the box.
Rory opened the box, and gasped at what was inside. It was a wedding band.
"It's the one my father wore." Finn said shyly.
"Finn, are you asking me to?..."
"Marry me." Finn said.
"I can't." Rory frowned.
"Why?"
"You're going to be here, and I'm going to be in Ireland. We would never see each other." Rory said.
"Not exactly." Finn said slowly. He dug through his book bag and got out a piece of paper.
"This is a plane ticket. The day after graduation, I'm going to Ireland. To be with you." Finn said.
"How did you afford this?" Rory asked with excitement.
"I've been saving all of my money from my job." He said.
"I love you so much!" Rory said, and hugged Finn.
"I love you too, babe." Finn said. "Now come on, we got to get to Glee." Finn took Rory's hand, and they went to Glee Club.
When they got there, everyone was standing around talking.
"Finally, you guys made it!" Quinn rolled her eyes playfully. She pulled Rory away from Finn and they went over to talk with Sugar and Mercedes, leaving Finn alone. He watched his boyfriend, noticing that he looked extremely sad. They were going to be apart for four months. Sure they would video chat and talk on the phone, but it wouldn't be the same. Finn was starting to get upset as well.
"Finn?" Rachel came up to him. They hadn't talked since she told Jacob Ben Israel about him and Rory.
"Oh, hi Rachel." Finn mumbled.
"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for what I did."
"Thanks Rachel." Finn smiled slightly.
"I know Rory is leaving tomorrow, so if you need someone to talk to, I'm here." Rachel said.
"Ok! Everyone take your seats." Mr. Schuester said as he entered the room.
"Mr. Schue, I have a song I would like to sing." Finn said. Everyone in the room looked confused, especially Rory.
"Ok, go ahead."
"This is for Rory." Finn nodded to the band, and they started playing.
Finn started singing the song Rory auditioned for Glee Club with. Take Care Of Yourself. Halfway through the song, Finn started crying and couldn't go on anymore. The New Directions all looked heart-broken. Then, Quinn got up and continued singing the song. Rachel followed then Sam, then Puck. When the song ended, the rest of the club stood up and cheered. Rory went to the front of the room, and hugged Finn. They were now both in tears.
"I love you." Rory whispered.
"I love you, too." Finn said. "This is the only the beginning for us."
