Chapter 8: At Least We Have Forever

"Well...that wasn't what I had in mind when I planned the proposal party," Finn said, one hand on the steering wheel, the other on Rachel's leg.

"It's alright, none of it was your fault," Rachel responded, placing her hand on his.

"It doesn't matter...I should have been paying attention, I could've stopped Puck, or at least Sam-"

"Don't you dare blame yourself! You did nothing wrong," Rachel said sternly. Finn looked at her as he stopped at a red light, thinking that she looked extremely hot when she was serious.

"Mmm...yes ma'am," he said seductively, causing her to blush.

"Finn! Haha, stop that, pay attention to the road," she replied, pointing at the green light.

"Fine, fine, but the minute we get into my house, don't be surprised if I can't control myself."

Five minutes later they were pulling up in front of Finn's house, both of them getting excited, thinking about what was about to happen the minute they stepped foot through the door.

Finn parked the car and quickly got out, practically running to open Rachel's door.

"My my, aren't you full of energy," Rachel giggled. Finn winked at her and picked her up, pushing the car door closed with his hip. Finn fumbled with the keys before finally opening the door, and Rachel reached out, closing and locking it. Finn continued to carry her up the stairs, but caught a sad look on Rachel's face.

"Babe, are you okay?" he asked, placing her on the bed. She looked as though she might cry, and Finn instinctively sat next to her and pulled her into him.

"It's just...what if she tries to get you back, now that Sam doesn't want to be with her? I can't...I..." Rachel couldn't finish her sentence as she began to cry hysterically in Finn's arms. He could feel tears welling up in his eyes, seeing his fiancé so terrified of losing him made him both sad and angry at the same time. Sad because she shouldn't feel so insecure, and angry because Quinn would do something like that; she would try to sabotage his happiness once again.

"Rachel," Finn began, lifting her chin up with his fingertips, "you are the only woman I want, ever. I love you more than anything, and you are the absolute best thing to happen to me. Quinn isn't going to tear us apart, nor is any other woman, I promise you that. You have nothing to worry about...no other woman will ever be able to compare to you. You are beautiful, intelligent, talented, kind, and you have an amazing heart. I knew from the moment we met you were the woman of my dreams, I'm never letting you go." Finn stared into Rachel's deep, beautiful brown eyes, which were now filling up with tears. She smiled at him, and he kissed her on the cheek. She laid her head on his shoulder as he tightened his hold on her, and she slipped her arm around his waist.

"You're amazing, Finn. I love you," Rachel whispered, raising her head so she could meet his lips with hers. They kissed tenderly, Finn taking her face in his hands. He pulled away, looking at her.

"I love you too, Rachel. Forever and always." He kissed her again, this time with a little more intensity. They slowly laid on the bed, Finn climbing on top of her. They kissed like this for a while, just feeling each other's bodies, their breathing in sync. Just as Finn was about to lift Rachel's shirt above her head, they heard the front door open.

"Finn? Rachel? Are you here?"

Finn and Rachel both looked up at the same time, exchanging worried looks.

"I think that's Kurt...he sounds upset," Finn whispered, listening to the door shut.

"Please you guys, I hate to interrupt but, it's really important!" Kurt yelled towards the second floor, hoping they heard him.

"We should go see what's wrong," Rachel said, giving Finn a quick kiss on the lips. They both got off the bed, fixing themselves quickly before heading downstairs. Kurt could hear their footsteps, and they finally appeared on the stairs.

"Oh thank god you're here!" he exclaimed as they reached the first floor. "I'm so sorry if I interrupted something..."

"No, we were just laying down," Rachel said reassuringly, pulling him into a hug. Finn and Blaine exchanged nods.

"We sort of have a situation," Blaine said, directing this to Finn.

"What happened?" Finn asked, wondering what was so important they needed to enlist his and Rachel's help.

"We um...we...don't know...where...Sam is..." Kurt managed to say, practically taking a breath in between every word.

"Wait...didn't you take him home?" Rachel asked, looking from Blaine to Kurt.

"We tried to convince him to let us take him home, but he said he didn't want to go home, he just wanted to walk. So we asked him if there was somewhere else he wanted to go, we even offered to take him back to my place with us, but he refused that too," Blaine explained. "He said there was, in fact, somewhere he wanted to go, but he couldn't tell us. We said we'd drive him close to the place, that way he wouldn't have to walk, and he wouldn't have to tell us where he was going. I mean, it didn't look like a bad neighborhood but...I don't know, I thought it was weird."

"Why would you let him just, roam around, especially in the state he's in?" Finn questioned, suddenly a bit annoyed. Had they really interrupted Rachel and him because they had "lost" Sam?

"Well I wouldn't want to go home or be around anyone after the evening he just had if I were him," Kurt replied. They all sighed, recalling how the night had quickly gone from happy to disastrous.

Quinn and Puck. Somehow it always came down to those two, they were just determined to destroy everything, especially Quinn. She was never going to let Finn be happy, and Finn was beginning to realize that.

"Look, guys, I'm sure he's fine. He's 18, an adult, he can take care of himself," Finn said, trying to ease Kurt and Blaine's fears.

"I know, but I'd feel a lot better if we tried to find him," Kurt replied, the anxiety building up. Finn could tell Kurt was really worried, so he let out a deep sigh saying, "Alright, let's go see if we can find him." Kurt gave Finn a hug, whispering "thank you" in his ear. Rachel grabbed Finn's keys and opened the door as Blaine and Kurt walked out. Finn paused, looking at Rachel.

"I'm so sorry," he said, his eyes filled with sadness. "Today was such a disaster...it was meant to be special. I should've just...I shouldn't have invited everyone, it should've just been us-"

"Finn, it's okay," she cooed, stroking his face with her fingertips. "I love you, and we have the rest of our lives together. C'mon, let's go find our friend." With that, she kissed his cheek and told his hand as she closed the door behind her. Finn squeezed her hand, knowing she was right: They did have the rest of their lives, in fact, they had forever.

Are they going to find Sam? Where did he go? Keep reading, alerting, reviewing, and tweeting me at ArmyMonchele! :)
