The Fifth Time's a Charm Chapter 5: Still Got Tonight, a glee fanfic

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

A/N: Hey guys I'm back hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. Thank you to my awesome reviewers you guys make my day also shout out to my new followers *waves*. So, there are only about 5 more chapters left and an epilogue. I am already working on a possible sequel to this one. Ok, well enough rambling on to what you came here for.

If you're not home, I'll sit here on your doorstep
Button up my coat and wait
We'll go upstairs close the curtains and we're all set
to pick up where we left again
There's question marks hangin' over us
But we won't give the time of day, oh
'Cause all we got is these few stolen seconds
And we can't let them go to waste

I am awaked by the sunlight peeking through my window and the smell of him I close my eyes and take in the intoxicating scent. I go to place my arm around him and I am met with cold sheets. I quickly grab my robe and head downstairs thinking maybe he went downstairs.

XXXX

The stars collide
We come back to life
We come back to life
The sparks will fly
One look in your eyes
My heart's open wide
I know time's running out now
But we'll hold back the sun somehow
See the sky?
We've still got tonight
We've still got tonight

As I walk down the stairs I am assaulted by the smell of blueberry pancakes, eggs, and bacon. Ok, so he made breakfast makes sense. I reassure myself but my face falls when I notice that it is just Kurt and Blaine sitting at the table.

"Hey Rachel." Blaine waves with a mouth full of pancakes.

"Hey." I give a small smile.

"You hungry?" Kurt asks handing me a plate. I take a seat at the table.

"You two haven't by chance seen Finn this morning have you?" I ask really hoping he has not pulled another disappearing act.

"Wait, you and Finn are back together?" Blaine asks nearly chocking on his pancakes.

"I thought we were but now not really too sure." I tell him trying to keep my anger in check.

"Ok, did I miss something because last time I knew you and Finn were still just friends." Kurt says using air quotes for the last part.

"Last night." I simply say not really sure if I want to get into details with two of the biggest gossips I have ever met.

"Did you two talk about getting back together last night?" Blaine asks

"Well…he called me his girlfriend and I freaked. One thing led to another and here we are." I try to explain but with every word I get even more pissed off. How stupid was I to believe that he would actually stick around.

"Ok, so why don't you go over to his apartment and find out why the hell he has his head up his ass." Kurt suggests.

"Oh, hell no I am not going over there especially since Jesse is probably there and I am really not ready to have any kind of conversation with him." I cringe at the mere thought of Jesse

"Wait Finn is rooming with Jesse St. James the same asshat that pretended to be into you just so Vocal Adrenaline could win another national title?" Blaine is obviously confused.

"Ya that would be him." I shake my head.

"Why, is no one keeping me in the loop?" Blaine feigns being hurt.

"You have to be in the loop to start with." Kurt mumbles. I can tell by the look on Blaine's face he caught what Kurt just said.

"You, know I think I am going to take a shower." Blaine quickly gets up. "It was good to see you Rachel." Blaine gives me a hug.

"Ya, you too." I smile and then I turn to Kurt. "Ok, what the hell was that?" I ask him point blank.

"Nothing." Kurt shakes his head and begins to wash the dishes.

"You know…I think I'm going to get some air." I say not wanting to push the Blaine issue with him.

"You want some company?" Kurt asks.

"I think I really just want to be alone." I tell him trying not to let my tears fall. I can't believe after everything Finn told me he still walked out.

"You sure?" Kurt asks feeling really bad for his friend and wanting to kick his brother's ass for putting her through this.

"Yeah." I grab my shoes and jacket and head out the door.

Come 9am
I'm packing every suitcase
Leave you in your bed so warm
I'll do my best not to wake you but it's useless
Can't tiptoe 'round this no more, oh

XXXX

"Dude what the hell happened in here?" Puck asks noticing the piles of clothes that he assumes were once in drawers are strung out over his floor.

"I can't find it." Finn runs his hands in his hair in frustration.

"Find what dude?" Puck asks laughing to himself.

"Rachel's engagement ring." Finn blurts out.

"Her what?" not sure if he heard him right.

"You heard me." he spats at him

"Ya, I know what I heard but, why are you looking for it?" I question him while moving some clothes off the bed and taking a seat.

"I want to give it to Rachel." he says throwing clothes out of his drawer.

"Hold on here…you want to propose to Rachel? Have you even figured out where you stand with her?" I ask confused.

"No…but I do know one thing that after last night I never want to let her go. No woman has ever made me feel the way she does." Ok since when did he turn into a girl.

"Dude, so you guys have not even talked. Seriously just because you two bumped uglies does not mean she is ready to be your wife." I point out to him.

"Found it! I love her man, what can I do?" Finn yells in excitement for finding the ring.

"I know you do but, have you guys actually sat down and seriously talked about anything. You did leave her once who is to say you won't do it again?" I am all for Rachel and Finn getting their happily ever after but they really need to talk.

"We've talked and she forgave me." I tell him and then it hits me. "Shit, shit." realizing that I left Rachel's without saying good bye.

"What the hell dude?" Ok, seriously dude needs to get a grip.

"I just totally bailed on her again." I say mentally chastising myself for being a dumbass.

"You didn't tell her where you were going?" I ask realizing that my friend is clueless.

"Well…she was sleeping and I didn't want to wake her up. God, she's going to be so pissed at me." I run my hands through my hair.

"Calm down dude maybe she is still asleep." I try to make him feel better but I know that she is already awake and quite possibly making her own little Finn voodoo doll with Santana.

"I need to go." I tell him quickly running out of my room hoping to god that she is still asleep.

XXXX

It's gonna get much harder
Before it gets better baby and that's for sure, mmm
Just say you'll wait for my footsteps on the staircase

And I will walk back through this door

Rachel is sitting on the steps of Finn's building I don't even really know why I was here. I can not believe how foolish I was to ever think that he wasn't going to leave. Just when I thought they had found their way back he pulls this. I pull my jacket closer to me regretting not wearing something warmer as I hear a voice from behind me.

"Rachel?" Ok, I had two options here one I could hear him out or two I could say fuck it and just walk away. Well…considering my pissed off mood I chose the later which was quite possible a mistake.

"Go to hell." I tell him as my hand makes contact with his face and I turn to walk away.

"No, you are not just going to slap me and walk away." He tells me as he grabs me by the arm.

"Let go of me." I snap at him.

"Fine. Will you please just hear me out." He pleads with me letting go of my arm.

"Why so you can tell me more lies. Damn it Finn! I was so close to letting you back in. I should've just slammed the door in your face the night you came back sure would've saved me a lot of heartbreak." I tell him as I try to stomp off but he stops me in my tracks holding a piece from our past in his hand.

"This…This is why I left." He tells me holding the ring between his fingers.

So keep your eyes open
There's no time to close them
Just hold on
So tight now

"You could've left a note." I tell him feeling the anger slowly leave.

"I know I'm a dumbass." he tells me taking a step closer. "Rachel I love you and I am so sorry I made you think that I had bailed on you again. I made a promise to you and I plane on keeping that promise to you. Like I told you before you are it for me." I try everything in my power not to run into his arms and attack him.

"Finn…we can't get married." I tell him wondering what he is up to.

"I am not asking you to marry me. I am giving you this as a promise to you that no matter what happens I will always be standing by your side." I can see the sincerity in his eyes.

"Ok." I take a deep breath before giving him my answer.

"really?" His face is beaming I don't think I have ever seen him this happy.

"Yes." before I can say anything more he picks me up and pulls me into a kiss and it that moment I knew everything was going to be ok.

If all we got is these few stolen seconds
We can't let em go to waste

"You want to go back to your place?" he asks.

"Uh….ya about that Kurt may or may not want to kick your ass." I tell him letting out a smile.

"Let him I probably deserve it in away." He tells me taking my hand and pulling closer as he places a small kiss on the top of my head.

Well there you have it hope you liked it. Ok, so I absolutely love Matthew Morrison and Sill Got Tonight. Ever since I heard it I always thought it fit Finnchel really well. Just in case you were wondering why I used this song. Well till next time.
