Here´s the last chapter. I hope you liked the last one (even with the drama), but like all things everything has an end. I hope that you enjoy this chapter as much as I did and thanks t you all for a wonderful experience.
Chapter 21.- Goodbye?
Finn was lying on Puck´s couch. He was destroyed, Rachel had left him, again. He just didn´t want to do anything. He had even called Will to tell him he was unable to give classes due to what had happened with her.
He wanted to be alone, but Puck insisted he would watch over him so he didn´t do anything stupid.
"Puck, I think I should go home. I really don´t want to be with anyone right now"
"Finn, come on man… you need…" Finn looked at Puck with a serious "I mean it" expression.
" Thanks for everything man, I´ll call you when I get home" Puck remained silent as Finn grabbed his luggage and left Puck´s place. He just went walking home singing.
I cannot hold this anymore
My hands are tired of only waiting to let go
And I am waiting... still
I used to know which way to turn
You were a light inside a tunnel in my head
I try to follow... still
I try to follow... still
It's hard to see you, we are older now
And when I find you, you just turn around
This is a black and white of you I've found
I hang you up and then I pull you down
I hang you up and then I pull you down
No more apologies from me
My arms are tired of picking up what I put down
You're all I think of... still
I'm gonna miss you every day
I turn my back on anyone who won't believe
And it gets lonely... still
It gets lonely... still
It's hard to see you, we are older now
And when I find you, you just turn around
This is a black and white of you I've found
I hang you up and then I pull you down
I hang you up and then I pull you down
I get lost sometimes
Another year flies by
But I know if I try
Memories of the light in your eyes
Can take me back in time
It's hard to see you, we are older now
And when I find you, you just turn around
This is a black and white of you I found
I hang you up and then I pull you down
It's hard to see you we are older now (We are older now)
And when I find you, you just turn around (You turn around)
This is a black and white of you I found (You I found)
I hang you up and then I pull you down
(Pull you down)
I hang you up and then I pull you down
(Pull you down)
I hang you up and then I pull you down
(Pull you down)
I don't hear music anymore
My ears are tired of all the pictures in the words
Cause you are in them... still
Finn entered his house and took another view to Rachel´s pictures. He stared at them for a while, afterwards he turned off the laptop.

Finn returned to school the next week. His kids were worried about him; they knew what had happened between Rachel and him. They wished they could help him get through; somehow they were also sad because the seniors were leaving in a couple weeks.
Finn entered the choir room, again his eyes were filled with sadness. Rachel was getting married this week to Alexander Cornwall; she had moved on, and he had to do it as well.
"We´re sorry about what happened with Rachel Mr. Hudson" Marley said.
"Thanks guys, I appreciate it. It hurts though, but I´ll get better, eventually" Finn said. "That is why I decided to make this week´s lesson " He wrote a word on the white board without too much enthusiasm "Closure; closure is not only about love relationships, it´s about closure for saying goodbye. So choose some songs that express closure ok?"
"Mr. Hudson?" Ruby asked raising her hand
"Yes Ruby?" he answered.
"I actually have a song I´d like to sing. It´s about closure too, but well I think I want to dedicate this to our senior friends, because as time went by this year I learned to love each and every one of you, so this song is for you too guys" She sat on the piano and began playing
How can I forget your love?
How can I never see you again?
There's a time and place
For one more sweet embrace
And is time, ooh
when it all, ooh
Went wrong
I guess you know by now
That we will meet again somehow
Oh baby
How can I begin again?
How can I try to love someone new?
Someone who isn't you
How can our love be true?
When I'm not, ooh
I'm not over you
I guess you know by now
That we will meet again somehow
Time can come and take away the pain
But I just want my memories to remain
To hear your voice
To see your face
There's not one moment I'd erase
You are a guest here now
So baby
How can I forget your love?
How can I never see you again?
How can I ever know why some stay and others go?
When I don't, ooh
I don't want you to go
I guess I know by now
That we will meet again somehow
Time can come and wash away the pain
But I just want my mind to stay the same
To hear your voice
To see your face
There's not one moment I'd erase
You are a guest here now
So baby
How can I forget your love?
How can I never see you again?
"That was lovely Ruby" Finn said containing his tears. He was just very sensible, especially because he pictured Rachel singing that song.
At New York Rachel was in the church adding the final touch to her wedding dress. She looked beautiful. Her bride´s maids were all her glee club friends and Kurt was his maid of honor. Rachel had told him everything about what happened at Nationals in L.A. He was mad at her, obviously Finn wasn´t attending the wedding.
He couldn´t understand why she had left him standing there with a ring in his hand. He had never stopped loving her, and here she was. Getting married to someone who would never love her as much as that Lima boy would.
"Ladies, would you mind leaving the maid of honor alone with Rachel" Kurt said. Rachel looked at him bewildered, still the other bride´s maids obeyed.
"Rachel, can I ask you something?" Kurt asked. She was looking at her reflection and fixing her veil.
"What is it Kurt?" She said
"Do you… really love Alexander?" Rachel felt offended She knew where Kurt was going with his question
"I do Kurt, I know… kissing Finn was not right, but…" Kurt faced Rachel face to face.
"Rachel, you kissed him because you followed your heart. Finn has never given up on you… but you did give up on him. He defended you from Brody, without him you wouldn´t have come to New York in first place…" Rachel was silent.
"I love Finn, and that´s true Kurt. He hasn´t stopped loving me after all this years…" she stepped down from the mirror and took off her veil. "Kurt, tell everyone I´m sorry, but this wedding is just not happening tonight" Kurt smiled, and Rachel left the church running.
She didn´t return home or even changed, she just took a cab .
Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd
And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder...
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight
She entered Grand Central Station and bought a ticket to Ohio.
It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever
Think of me
'Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong
Living in your
Precious memory
'Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder...
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight
And I, I
Don't want to let you know
I, I
Drown in your memory
I, I
Don't want to let this go
I, I
Don't...
Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound
Her train had arrived. She went to her parents' house and afterwards to Finn´s old house. She explained everything and Carole helped her make some calls. She was planning something very special for Finn.
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd
And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder...
Kurt had told all of their friends about Rachel escaping and they all went to Grand Central heading to Lima.
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass us by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you...
Rachel was now at McKinley, she asked Mr. Schue, Emma, Shannon and even for Coach Sylvester´s help. She explained them her plan and told him how everyone was going to help her fulfill it. The teachers gladly accepted.
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
If I could
Just hold you
Tonight
Will talked in secret with the Glee Club, and told them to distract Finn, he also told them to prepare two songs.
Finn was again in the choir room. They were all listening to Thomas singing his closure song.
My life is brilliant.
My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
Yes, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Flying high.
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last 'til the end.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.
"That was very beautiful Thomas" Finn said with few interest.
"Thanks Mr. Hudson" He said.
"Mr. Hudson" Wade said entering to the choir room. Finn turned around to see him
"What is it Wade?" He asked him.
"Principal Schuester wanted to see you in the auditorium. He says he wants to discuss something urgent with you" Finn stood up.
"Thanks Wade, well guys I think we´ll have to finish early today, so class dismissed" The kids all went out as natural as the could look so Finn wouldn´t suspect anything. He went to the auditorium after he went to his office for some papers. He thought that he wanted to review the graduation program.
When he entered the auditorium he heard violins and cellos.
He saw Will on stage he began singing.
Will: There's nothing you can do that can't be done
Emma appeared then beside him
Emma: Nothing you can sing that can't be sung
Sue: Nothing you can say, but you can learn how to play the game
Sue and Shannon: It's easy
He turned around and saw Kurt and Blaine accompanied by his old friends
Kurt and Blaine: There's nothing you can make that can't be made
Quinn and Santana: No one you can save that can't be saved
Puck Sam Mercedes and Mike: Nothing you can do, but you can learn how to be in time
Old new directions: It's easy
Marley: All you need is love
Jake: All you need is love
Cameron and Ruby: All you need is love, love
New New Directions: Love is all you need
They were accompanying Rachel carrying her dress tail. Finn couldn´t believe it.
Rachel: There's nothing you can know that can't be known
Nothing you can see that isn't shown
No where you can be, that isn't where you're meant to be
It's easy
Finn was approaching to the stage smiling widely. Suddenly Rachel´s parents, Shelby, Burt and Carole were there too.
Finn and Rachel: All you need is love
LeRoy, Hiram Berry and Shelby: All you need is love
Burt and Carole: All you need is love, love
Finn and Rachel: Love is all you need
(x4)
Finn and Rachel were holding hands, facing each other. Everybody was around them. Finn kneeled down again. He took out the ring from his pocket and placed it on Rachel´s finger.
ALL: Love is all you need (repeated)
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
All their loved ones were there. Rachel and Finn kissed. Finn´s sadness had gone away. Rachel had planned all that just to get Finn back. She had returned home to meet the love of her life and to spend the rest of her days with him. Burt had called a civil judge to officiate the ceremony, and after 20 minutes had passed he finally spoke the words everybody wanted to hear.
"For the power invested in my by the state of Ohio, I now pronounce you Husband and Wife" Finn and Rachel looked at each other. "You may kiss the bride" Both kissed again. Immediately the New Direction´s began singing their chosen song
Cameron: I thought love was
Only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else
But not for me
Ruby: Love was out to get to me
That's the way it seems
Both: Disappointment haunted
All my dreams
Puck: And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Puck and Quinn: Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
Cameron and Puck: I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried
Sam: I thought love was
More or less a given thing
Santana: But the more I gave the less
I got, oh yeah
Kurt and Blaine: What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine
I got rain
Burt and Carole: And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
Sue and Shannon: I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried
Sam Puck Santana and Blaine: What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine
I got rain
Finn and Rachel: And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried
ALL: Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
Now I'm a believer
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm a believer
I'm a believer
I'm a believer
Things had turned around for everybody, Finn had achieved all his dreams, and that was the best closure anybody could get. Now Rachel and him would go to New York and fulfill their dream of being together. All was well.
