I know I am the worst updater ever and for that I apologize. I just feel as if maybe some of you aren't really enjoying the story, I hope I'm wrong. If you don't like the way something turns out, just please tell me because I hate to displease any readers. Secondly, the news of Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, and Chris Colfer not continuing in Season Four of Glee really saddens me. They are my three favorite characters and they are the ones leaving. I respect the writers because they did create this wonderful show that I, myself relate to, but for them to not continue Rachel, Finn, and Kurt well that seems a little idiotic of them. Well I for one will still continue stories with them even after Season three, if I still write of course. Once again I apologize for my lack of updates, but I beg you guys not lose faith in me.
Disclaimer: I do not own Glee or any Music used in this story because if I did Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, and Chris Colfer would never leave the show unless they graduate ALL TOGETHER!*
Finn's Point Of View
I quickly paced to Rachel's side as she tried to get out of the truck. But even with Rachel being injured she was more stubborn than ever.
"I can do it by myself Finn."
"Rach, Just let me help you."
"Like, I said I can do it myself."
Why can't she just accept help for once. Oh yeah, I forgot she wants to be the strong Rachel Berry she used to be, the one I fell in love with. Stop that Finn, you are the one that got hurt by her. Why do this to yourself again. She was the one who cheated. She fled to the arms of your best friend even though she knew there were open wounds there since baby-gate.
"Owww. Damn Stairs." There Rachel went attempting to make it inside on her own. Too bad she was failing miserably.
"Rachel, just admit you need help."
"Never!" Just as she finished, she went forwards. Luckily for her once again a strong pair of arms, that belong to one Finn Hudson were there to catch her. This time he ended up picking her up and carrying her.
".DOWN. I can walk by myself." Rachel said in a matter-of-factly tone.
"If you could why did you almost trip and fall." By now they were at the front door.
"You can put me down now. I can through the door perfectly alone."
"I don't want to take any chances Rach."
"Took, you two long enough. I was starting to get worried. I dropped Blaine off like thirty minutes ago and come home to find a house without -" Just as Kurt turned around to see Finn carrying Rachel his eyes got wide.
"Oh well look what we got here. Care to explain Finn." With no response he decided to ask Rachel. "Rachel?"
"Well you see I was jogging down the stairs and I must have missed a step and Finn caught me. Sadly I think I sprained my ankle in the process. End of Story."
"And why is my step-brother carrying you right now?" Just as Kurt opened his mouth, I put Rach down.
"Your friend over here wouldn't except any help, so I had to carry her in or else she probably would have hurt herself even more than she did already."
"Obviously, he carried me against my will though. I, Rachel Berry am independent."
"Uh-huh." Why did Kurt always question everything.
"Well umm, I'm off to bed. Do you need anything Rachel, before I go to sleep?"
"I'm okay. Kurt can help me if I need anything. Thanks for asking though."
"Wait, Rachel may need help getting into the bath tub. You know since I'm not very strong and I bet she needs a long hot bath with one- no, two Fizzy spa bombs. You know to relax and moisturize the skin and ankle." He was going to pay for that. Not that I wouldn't love helping Rachel in and out of the bath tub, but that would be awkward.
"No, I'm fine Kurt. I am perfectly capable of getting into the tub myself. Goodnight Finn."
"Yeah goodnight Rach, Kurt.
Kurt's Point of View
Whether my air-headed step-brother knows it or not, he and Rachel still have chemistry. And I will get them together if it takes everything I am. Even though I promised Rachel I would help her reinvent herself, I'll get help her reinvent the Rachel Berry that my foolish step-brother fell in love with.
"Kurt, why did you have to suggest that Finn help me take a bath. That just made things way more awkward and tense between us."
"Have you ever considered that maybe you and Finn are destined together?"
"Yes, but that was before all the lies and cheating. I now know when together we are good until Finn gets bored or gets hit on by some Cheerio. And when we end it's bad. I feel as if my whole world will crumble down. I just can't take it anymore."
"Baby Barbra, Nothing ever comes easy in life. Life comes with obstacles and sometimes after you overcome those obstacles, you are rewarded. Maybe Finn and your relationship is an obstacle, but maybe he is also your reward in the end."
"That makes no sense Kurt."
"In time it will. How about that bath."
"You sure you don't want to call Finn, so he can carry me to the bath tub?"
"Oh okay. Finn!"
"I'm just kidding!"
"Hey, did you call me?"
"Yeah, actually Ra-" Before I could finish I felt a pair of tiny hands on my mouth.
"Nothing, Finn. Sorry Kurt called you. Enjoy your night."
"Okay. Well then, goodnight again."
No, why did he leave. Damn Rachel and her quick reflexes.
"Fine, I'll go run your bath."
"Thank you."
Rachel's Point of View
Leave it to Kurt to make my relationship with Finn more awkward than already. I thought him out of everyone should know that Finn is Kryptonite. I don't care what happens between me and Finn, I am better off without him.
"Rachel, your bath awaits you my queen."
"Very funny Kurt."
"Hey my Ipod is in there so if you want, you can listen to it."
"I think I will."
Just what I needed was a hot relaxing bubble bath. Sometimes Kurt was obnoxious, and I know that for sure, but other times he knew best.
Mmm. Mmm.
Memories, light the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor memories of the way we were.
The way she and Finn would cuddle as they watched movies together.
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
smiles we give to one another
for the way we were.
The Broken glass to the frames of the pictures of her and Finn.
Can it be that it was all so simple then
or has time rewritten every line?
Simply being around Finn was awkward, what happened?
If we had the chance to do it all again
tell me would we? Could we?
Relive the love, just to lose it all over again.
Memories, may be beautiful and yet
what's too painful to remember
we simply choose to forget
It's time to forget the good times, so we don't remember the bad.
So it's the laughter we will remember
whenever we remember
the way we were.
I'll always remember the time we performed 'Smile' because that was a memory of two friends and not two lovers.
"Rachel, are you done?"
"About so, Kurt."
"Need any help? I can definitely call Finn if you do."
". I'm fine. See Already out of the tub and dressed."
"That was quick."
"Yeah, well I have a lot of exprience getting dressed quickly. Remember the Slushies."
"Oh how I love Dalton Academy. So what do you want to do exactly?"
"Sleep, I'm exhausted."
"Boo. You suck."
"Well excuse me if I am a little tired because I still have a minor headache from last night, and the fact that I fell down a pair of stairs!"
"I'll give you that one Rachel. By the way I thought we would just blow up the air mattress and sleep in the living room, so this way you don't have to go up and down a pair of stairs to get a drink of water. "
"That is so considerate of you."
"That's me. The sweet, understanding, stylish Kurt Hummel."
"Please don't make me laugh."
"Miss Rachel Berry has a backbone. Who would see the day. Now just learn to stand up to Santana and that witch Quinn."
"I thought you liked Quinn?"
"I used to until she returned to her normal Bitchy ways."
"Well I wouldn't know she always makes fun of me."
"Because she knows you have something she could never have."
"What would that be? I would really love to know."
"Breathtaking talent and Finn's heart."
"Thank you, but me and Finn are over and I think he still loves Quinn, not me. Honestly I don't think he ever did."
"I don't believe that."
"Well you have to learn to, Kurt. He was so easily able to forgive Quinn when her actions were worst than mine. That's because you would do anything for your first. Story over. I just want to sleep."
"Fine."
"Thank You."
The two of them finally headed off to bed, but what they didn't know was the entire time their conversation was being overheard by none other than Finn Hudson.
Finn's Point Of View
How could Rachel think that I never loved her. The reason I was so hurt by her kissing Puck more than when I was hurt by Quinn was because I loved her. I never loved Quinn. I only thought I did. I followed all the steps and said the words because I was supposed to. She was head-cheerleader and I was Quarterback. Isn't it like a High School rule that we are supposed to date. At least that's what she had told me. That fact was I didn't know what love was until I met Rachel. She made me want more for myself than I thought I ever deserved. I had to show her that I did love her, but how? Wait was that song I heard on the radio earlier. Something about a warning sign, there it is. Thank you YouTube!
A warning sign,
I missed the good part then I realized,
I started looking and the bubble burst.
I started looking for excuses.
Come on in,
I've gotta tell you what a state I'm in,
I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones,
That I started looking for a warning sign.
When the truth is,
I miss you.
Yeah the truth is,
That I miss you so.
A warning sign,
You came back to haunt me and I realized,
she was an island and I passed you by,
You were an island to discover.
Come on in,
I've gotta tell you what state I'm in,
I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones,
That I started looking for a warning sign.
When the truth is,
I miss you.
Yeah the truth is,
That I miss you so.
And I'm tired,
I should not have let you go.
So I crawl back into your open arms.
Yes, I crawl back into your open arms.
And I crawl back into your open arms.
Yes, I crawl back into your open arms...
"That's it tomorrow before Rachel leaves, I will sing it to her."
Rachel's Point of View
Rachel's Dream
"I'm so sorry and-and i-it will never ever happen again."
"I knew you were a lot of things Rachel, and I loved you because and despite all of them, but I never thought you were mean."
"I'm saying that I'm sorry, but doesn't what you did with Santana kinda cancel this out."
"We weren't together. I didn't cheat on you. How could you do this to me?"
"It was a mistake. Well um may-maybe we should go to another counseling session with Miss Pillsbury."
"Can't have couple's counseling if you're not a couple."
"You're breaking up with me?"
"What you did was really bad Rachel and you knew how sensitive I would be about this after what happened with Quinn."
"You said you'd never break up with me!"
"I never thought you'd make me feel like this."
End of Dream
"Finn."
Oh god, not that dream again. I have to move on. Finn made it clear, he doesn't want me anymore and I need to rediscover who I am. Gosh now I won't be able to sleep maybe some water would do.
Rachel made her way to the kitchen hopping as quietly as she could, but next thing she knew she bumped into something-scratch that someone. None over than Finn Hudson. The reason she awoke in the first place.
