One Last Time
"Rachel!" said Kurt, who appeared to be out of breath. I turned,
"I was just going to say, that if you needed more time to be alone, I'll be over my parents place. Call me if you need me, Rach." He said, smirking. I nodded in okay.
I mouthed a thank you to him before turning around.
After saying goodbye to Mr. Shuester for now, I made my way back into the auditorium…. Alone. To me, the auditorium was filled with many memories for me. Not only was it just the solos I had performed, or even the duets we had done in glee club as a whole. There were many moments in here that reminded me of Finn.
It was where we first sang 'You're the One that I Want' together, where we shared our first kiss, it was… Yeah, a lot of things had happened here, and I would give up anything, just to see him one more time.
It was where I explained to him, that we needed to focus on his dreams more than mine. Being a week away from graduation and also Nationals.
"My home isn't New York, or even Broadway.." I pause, "It was you."
"It was also where I proposed to you, you were, and still are this big beam of light guiding me throughout the darkness of my life." A once familiar voice said,
I was mortified to turn around, to be fooled by the memory of him.
I was scared to be honest.
So I turned around.
"Finn." I whispered, I wasn't sure he would say anything back, or maybe it actually was my mind playing games on me.
"Rachel," He said, coming closer to me. I could feel him, like he was actually here.
He had cupped my right cheek, looking into my brown eyes.
Soon enough I was in his arms, sobbing. His arms wrapped around my waist, as mine were wrapped around his shoulders.
I was crying into his shirt, probably staining it with all of my tears. But I didn't care, he was here. That's all that mattered at the moment.
"I see you remembered my quote from Neglect week." He says, chuckling.
I decided to join in too, "I guess I did.. Finn, I- I miss you so much, everything's changing." I said, trembling in his embrace.
"I don't know really what to do right now." I finish, tearing up once again.
"Well for starters, you have Funny Girl, and congrats on getting the role of Fanny Brice, I knew you could do it Rach!" He said, holding me while we twirled around in a circle. All I could hear from him now was his laughter, and mine combined.
Until the twirling had come to a stop.
"You're not here anymore, though." As much as I wish it wasn't true. It was.
He had set me down, and offered me a seat. This was exactly how it was set when he had proposed to me here. But I, I can't think about it anymore. I just can't.
"Rachel, I will always love you. You know that, and you know that I'll always be there." He said, stopping to put his palm on the left of my chest. "Where your heart is, I'll always be there Rachel. I'll be watching you from up here. I'll be watching you make bigger dreams, and all. I'm like your guardian angel, Rach. "He finished,
I was still looking down, until he had cupped my right cheek in his hand, and pressed his lips onto mine, it was a quick kiss. Before I knew it, it had ended. His forehead later touched mine, before kissing mine.
"I will always love you Rachel, never forget that." He said, placing her hand on her heart before fading away.
Blinking a couple times, before i was aware of my surroundings. I could hear Kurt, Blaine, and Sam calling for me at the entrance of the auditorium.
I was holding myself together still, as I was choking up. I couldn't help it.
"Rachel?" I heard Sam shout, "Rachel there you-" He paused, before turning away to shout "Kurt! Blaine! She's in here!" before running down to come up on the stage.
"A-are you okay Rachel?" He asked me, I shook my head, quick enough he pulled me in for an assuring, but kind of tight bear hug. He was soothing me, "It's okay Rachel, it's okay."
Quick enough Blaine, and Kurt entered in on the hug.
"I probably should've looked here first," Kurt whispered to Blaine, Blaine nodded back in a sign of agreement.
I pulled my head up from Sam's shoulder I had probably stained with all of my tears. "Kurt, Blaine, Sam. Wait, wh-what are you guys doing here?" I murmur.
"Well, I went back home for awhile to help Dad, and Carole. Until I had gotten a text from Blaine and also Sam, asking if you were with me. Shuester was worried, he realized you didn't leave. So during glee club they had texted me, asking where you were if not with me."
"Blaine and I are doing a duet together this next week." Sam added, giving Rachel a small, sad smile.
"That didn't make much sense did it?" Blaine said, cutting in. I shook my head. I didn't care though, I pulled Blaine, Kurt, and Sam in for another hug. It was needed, in my opinion.
"Not really, but thank you all for coming to see if I was okay." I mumbled.
Okay, well i know this would most likely not of happened in the memorial episode. I felt like it needed closure. Closure is sometimes needed,
and that's the episode actually gave.
