I thought the idea of a guy crying over a girl was really cute so here you go! Enjoy :)

He never thought he'd do it. He never thought he'd actually bail. He'd bailed. He couldn't believe himself. He bailed on her, on them, on everyone. He didn't know when he'd become such a wimp. Once upon a time he'd have fought for the things he wanted. He'd have stayed to work it out. He was a bloody loser.

Finn watched the flights appear and disappear on the large screen in front of him. His flight had been delayed by two hours so he was stuck at the airport for another hour. Finn lit up his phone to check the time and the photo of the family he'd be leaving behind stung his heart. He didn't think leaving a second time would hurt him so bad because he'd done it before. But this time he was leaving her and he'd promised he wouldn't leave her. All he seemed to be full of these days were empty promises. Promises he couldn't keep.

He closed his eyes and let himself sink back into the memory of his last time with Rachel.

Rachel sat coiled around Finn's body. It freaked him out how she could do that because she was just so small. She played with his hair as they watched the film that neither we're really paying attention to. It's like they were in high school all over again. They were so wrapped up in each other. Finn didn't want this to end. It pained him to know that he was going to break her heart. Again.

"Rachey, I have to talk to you. It's important,"

"What is it?" Rachel asked as she moved into a sitting position beside him. She seemed unfazed by the tone of his voice. Either that or she just chose to ignore it.

"I'm going back to Australia,"

"What?" Rachel did a double take. Did he just say he was going back to Australia?

"I'm going back, Rachel,"

"What? Why?"

"My entire life is there. I've built a whole new life in Australia. I have a job that I love, kids that adore me and great friends. I'd hate myself if I left all that behind. I can't leave my life behind," Finn tried to explain but Rachel looked so hurt. Why was he doing this to her? Why would he put her through this?

"But you can leave me behind?" she asked quietly. Her voice was a whisper and it came out husky and cracked. He could hear the pain in her voice.

"I'm sorry,"

"Sorry? Is that all you can say?"

"I don't know what else to say,"

"You promised me you'd never leave me!"

"I know,"

"You promised! You promised! You promised!" Rachel screamed. She pounded on Finn's chest when he stood. He tried to move back away from the ineffective punches that he aimed at his chest but she just followed him. Finn pulled the distressed girl into his chest and held her there. She sobbed into his shirt making the shirt soak with tears. She just kept whimpering "you promised" into his shirt and it broke his heart to see her so distressed.

"Come with me?"

"Finn, I-"

"Please? Come with me Rachel?"

"I don't know if I can. I wish I could but...but I have a life in New York. What about Kurt? What about my Broadway dreams? What would I do?" She raised her head off his chest and backed away. Finn stepped forward and she stepped back.

"I don't know," Finn finally admitted. He knew it pointless to ask. She'd never come with him. She loved New York. Why would she want to move to Australia?

"Finn, I-"

Before she could finish her sentence Finn had his lips against hers in a deep kiss. She melted into the kiss and responded pleasantly. When Finn pulled away she felt her heart sink. "I love you." He kissed her forward and left the house. That was the last time Finn Hudson saw Rachel Berry.

Finn opened his eyes. He felt the tears streaming slowly, one by one, down his face. He could taste them on his lips and his face felt salty. He'd been crying for a while. They stung his face. His heart ached with pain. It was the hardest choice of his life. Work or love? So many people had faced this dilemma before him. He shut his eyes in an attempt to get rid of the tears that plagued his eyes but it only made it worse. If he couldn't have Rachel then nothing seemed to matter to him anymore.

"Flight 203 for Sydney will board from terminal 24 in half an hour!" the voice called over the loud speaker. He had half an hour before this part of his life was left behind for good. He was starting to give up hope on Rachel. The thought of he and Rachel giving up again brought more tears to his eyes. How could you love someone so much yet force yourself to leave? It was hard, but he'd done it before. He could do it again.

Finn decided to head to the terminal. He stood up and wiped away the tears. That did nothing because more tears formed in his eyes. He picked up his luggage and began to walk towards terminal 24.

"Finn!" a small voice called from behind him. He froze instantly. He had not expected that voice to ring out through the airport. He span on his heels to face Rachel. She looked broken and sad. She looked like she'd been crying for hours, like he had. She looked unkempt.

"Finn," she whispered again.

"Rachel," he greeted back. Rachel began to move towards him with slow, uneven paces. She was still a hundred metres away from him but he didn't mind. He dropped his bags. Rachel began a run towards him which he happily returned. They met in the middle and took each other in a long, passionate kiss.

When they broke apart Rachel's eyes were glassed over, as were Finn's. Finn couldn't hide the grin that spread across his face. Rachel returned the smile but there was sadness behind that smile that made his heart sink.

"You've been crying," he noted.

"So have you," she replied with a small smile. Finn smiled back and Rachel dropped her eyes. "I couldn't let you leave without saying goodbye," she said. Finn's smile instantly fell away.

"Goodbye?" he asked.

"Goodbye," she nodded.

"Goodbye."

"I'm not coming with you. I just can't. I know that's no excuse, but it's my only one. I'm so sorry,"

"I understand. I have to go. My flights boarding." That was the last thing he said to Rachel before he walked to the terminal. Rachel watched with tears in her eyes.
