I know this chapter is kinda short but i had to stop it before I got any further. Im thinking of doing Finns POV. What do you guys think? It is a Rachel POV story but I was thinking of adding his so we can see into Finns life more!

I also had a review asking how Kurt could jump through her window if she was upstairs. I don't remember putting that her room was upstairs and if I did I'm sorry. Its a one story house and their rooms are right next to each other. ;)

I don't own glee though I wish I did!

Rachel woke up and rubbed her eyes. She looked out her window and realized maybe she slept through the night and through the day again and it was now the next night. She groaned into the pillow remembering how she probably embarrassed herself in front of all those kids in glee club. She checked her phone and had seven missed calls and several text messages. Five from Kurt and two from mercedes and tina. THe text messages included Kurt, her aunt, and Kelly. She checked the time. 10:15 pm.

She wondered why she slept so much. She could sleep for days, maybe she should see a doctor and they could tell her if something was wrong with her. She decided to go outside because it was a beautiful night and there was no way she was going to sleep now. She walked out on the porch and sat on the swing. She closed her eyes and took in the smell. It smelled fresh, like it should in the beginning of May. She never liked the rain and she could feel the warmth coming and that made her a little happier inside.

"Hi, daddies. I miss you a lot. Sometimes I just sleep and sleep so I don't have to think of you. Nothing is the same without you. Aunt Shelby and Uncle Rich are doing so well taking care of me. You're lucky to have them and so am I. I made some friends. Kurt Hummel is my best friend. Well, I've known him for less than a week but I like him a lot and his boyfriend Blaine, is amazing too. I sang for the first time today, it made me sad. I cried the whole time and when i was done, everyone was watching me. I felt so bad for doing something that made me happy while I'm not happy. I really miss you everyday and I love you more than anything. I wish you were here with me." she was sobbing by the end of her speech to her dads.

"You know, you're allowed to be happy." she heard a voice come from next door. Rachel looked over at the figure standing. There were no fences here in Lima so privacy was never insured. She realized it was Finn and dried her tears

"God, can't I get any privacy here. Were you spying on me?" she demanded

"No. I come out here when I can't sleep. Its May, my favorite month, and its warm. Im sorry that it seems creepy. Welcome to Lima" he said with a smile.

"I kinda hate it here sometimes. But its quite peaceful out here. I love May too. " she said, forgiving Finn.

"Yeah, its flowery." he said to no one in particular. Rachel hesitated then said "Do you want to come sit on the swing with me?" he nodded and made his way over.

"Rachel, you're really talented." he suddenly said breaking the silence.

"I know. Thank you, Finn." she said to him

"Everyone loved your performance. It made us all cry."

"Finn, please. I won't join the glee club so don't ask. "

"Whoa! Rachel Berry, what makes you think we would just let you in! You have to audition." he said

"I would get in. I'm a star."

"you're so sure of yourself. That would bug me if I didn't feel so sad for you." she laughed after he said that.

"Well, Finn Hudson. I'm glad the death of my fathers keeps me from bugging you." she said sarcastically

"Oh, Rachel, thats not what i meant at all."

"Its okay, Finn. Im used to it. "

"You know, like i said, you are allowed to be happy. It may be hard but you can do it." he said

"How would you know?" she yelled at him

"My dad died in the army."

"Oh, Finn, Im so sorry." she felt so bad for snapping at him.

"It's okay." They both sat there not saying anything. It felt good to have someone next to her and be comfortable. She didn't know Finn Hudson very well but she liked him. She wanted to know him more and find out about his life. After five minutes it was his turn to say something

"Rachel?" he asked.

"Hm?"

"Seeing you on that stage gave me chills. You really have something and I know you know it but I wanted to tell you. You really are something special. Don't forget that." he said with a smile.

"Thanks, Finn. That means a lot. Thanks for being so nice to me. Jocks aren't nice to girls like me. They just don't like me" she said sadly.

" I like you." he said with a smile. She smiled back up at him and could feel herself blush a little.

"Well, I'm tired. Goodnight, Rachel. Hopefully we can do this again, ill see you in the morning." he said and he disappeared into his house. She smiled and closed her eyes. Maybe Finn wasn't so bad after all. She fell asleep on the swing and awaited another long school day.

Friday came and went. She went to school. She went through the motions and she did it with a smile. She ended up getting all her new friends phone numbers. She was really happy she finally had some real friends. Kurt invited her over Saturday night for Kareoke Night/ Sleepover with Mercedes and she said yes.

As soon as she go home that day she did all her weekends homework so she wouldn't have to do it tomorrow. As she lay in her bed to go to sleep, she couldn't help but wonder if Finn was outside tonight. Of course he wasn't. It was Friday, he was probably with Quinn. She fell asleep dreaming of her dads smiles and how she hoped she was making a come back. She missed her old self. She was broken down and tired and she cried a lot.

The Next Day: Kurts house; 7:00pm.

"Rachel! Rachel!" Kurt said as he ran to answer the door! Mercedes followed close behind.

"Hey guys! Sorry I'm late. My aunt wanted me to eat dinner with her." she laughed and walked in. She walked in the house and were greeted by two people who seemed to be Kurt and Finn's parents.

"Hi, Rachel! I am Carole and this is my husband Burt! I want you to feel like you're at home! Feel free to treat us and you would your parents. We already have heard so much about you and can we just say. that we love you." Carole said with a grin and pulled her in for a hug.

"Oh, my! Thank you so much! I feel so welcome. You have a lovely home!"

"Let's go to my room! Rachel, I want to see your website!" he said. He and Mercedes walked away and she followed and ran into a towering FInn on his way out of him room.

"Ouch!" she said as her head came into contact with his.

"Rach! Im so sorry! I should really watch where i'm going." FInn said. She smiled and felt Kurt and Mercedes watching her.

"It's okay Finn, you're so tall you probably couldn't see me up there!" she laughed

He smiled at her joke. "I like your hair."

"Oh, um, thank you. Finn thats so kind of you." he scratched his head and frowned and ran away. Rachel walked right up to Kurt and Mercedes Smirking faces.

"Don't give me that face." and she walked into what she assumed was Kurt's room. She heard Mercedes say "I like your hair? What kind of compliment was that. Your brother is whacked up when it comes to girls." and Kurt giggled and entered the room.

"He has a girlfriend, Rach." Mercedes said with a warning tone.

"I know Mercedes. I don't like Finn romantically. Or at all really, he's too tall" she said matter of factly.

"We can only dream that he breaks up with Quinn." Kurt said as he laid on his bed.

"What is so wring with Quinn?" Rachel asked.

"Well, last year Quinn got pregnant and said it was Finn's baby-" Mercedes started.

"But really it was Puck's baby and Finn found out and broke up with her but now they are back together."

"So, he forgave her? I would be so mad! What happened to Quinn and Puck's baby?" Rachel asked.

"Oh, someone adopted her." Kurt said uninterested

Rachel thought about how mad at Quinn she would be and she wondered why Finn was with her right now. She seemed so unlikable and mean. Sure, she was gorgeous but she couldn't see Finn being with her just because of her looks.

"Oh, well, I'm glad they gave her to someone who could love her." Rachel said.

After five long hours of watching movies and eating junk food Rachel looked over and Mercedes and Kurt were passed out on each other. She stifled a giggle and put the blanket over them and turned off the TV. She wasn't ready to sleep because sleep involved thinking about her dads and she couldn't bear that. One day she hoped for a good nights sleep. She walked into the kitchen and got a glass of water and sat at the counter. She heard shuffling coming into the kitchen and she stayed put before she said anything. It was someone really tall so she assumed it was Finn.

"Finn?" she said quietly. He gasped and cursed.

"Rachel! You scared me!" he said

She laughed and added, "Im sorry Finn. Im just drinking water, I couldn't sleep."

"Was Kurt's snoring too loud?" Finn asked.

"No, just thinking." she said and sipped her water.

Finn jumped up on the counter next to her.

"I miss my dads."

"I can tell. Is that why you can't sleep?" he asked her

"Yeah, I hate crying so much. I try to avoid it. I lost both my parents and I feel so alone. They were my best friends." she admitted shyly

"I'm so sorry Rachel. I know how it feels to lose someone you love. Just rely on other friends and family, they will pull through for you. Glee club is like my second family."

Rachel smiled. "I don't really have any friends here. Like I've said before. A lot of people don't like me. No one kept in touch with me from New York when I left. They used me. I get it, I'm annoying sometimes. But, I have feelings you know. I never fell wanted." she ranted to him. She realized she shouldn't be ranting to someone she didn't know very well but he was listening.

"Rachel, I-" then he started buzzing. He pulled out his phone and Rachel saw Quinn's picture pop up. She instantly got jealous and she didn't know why. SHe shook her head and said "Nevermind" and left the kitchen

"Rachel?" then after she left she heard "Hello?" She had thought he wanted to be her friend and she remembered he was just a jock and she probably meant nothing to him. She was used to that. She went back into Kurt's room and found him up and ready to attack her.

"Rachel Berry." he said.

"Yes, Kurt."

"I heard you and Finn in the kitchen." he said suspiciously.

"Kurt, that was nothing. Honestly, your brother is quite the opposite of anything I would go for. I told you earlier. He has Quinn, he doesn't care about anyone or anything but being popular. I, simply, don't like him." she said and she spun around when she heard Finn's door slam and she serisouly hoped he didn't hear that.

"Miss Berry, i'm watching you." Kurt said with a smirk and Rachel rolled her eyes at him.

They both laid next to each other on Kurts bed and after minutes of no talking Rachel spoke,

"Kurt."

"Hmm?" he mumbled

"I want to join Glee Club." she said.

"I thought you would never come around." he laughed.

"Goodnight Kurt."

"Goodnight Rach."

"Go to sleep, losers! Im trying to get my beauty sleep." Mercedes chimed in

Rachel and Kurt giggled and shortly fell asleep.

Okay! Reviews are enchanting! Let me know what you think about next chapter being Finn's POV!

love. love. love
