Chapter 4-Away She Goes

Disclaimer: I do not own Glee. I also do not own "Write This Down."

Christmas break was over and it was time for Rachel to head back to Julliard. Finn just stood in his room trying to not to cry as once again, the love of his life was heading back to school. Rachel had gone back home for the last three weeks of break, so Finn had to go over to her house to say goodbye.

He rang the doorbell and ran his hand through his hair. Leroy, one of Rachel's dads answered the door.

"Hi, Mr. Berry." Finn told him as he motioned for Finn to walk inside. "Rachel is upstairs in her room."

"Thank you, Mr. Berry." And with that, Finn headed upstairs to see his girlfriend one last time.

Finn knocked at the door.

"Come in" Rachel instructed. Finn walked in and saw that everything in Rachel's room was packed.

"Rach, you do know that you don't need everything in your room for college?" he asked.

"I know that. It is just my dads are planning on moving to a smaller house and I need to have everything packed to make the move easier."

"Oh, I was scared there for a little bit. I thought that you were moving to New York forever."

"Finn, don't be silly. If I move to New York forever, you'll be with me, of course."

"Are you sure, Rach?" he asked.

"Absolutely, Finn, I want to spend the rest of my life. I want to have babies with you. I love you, Finn Hudson and being away from you has been the hardest time in my life."

"That was so sweet. I love you, Rachel."

"I love you too, Finn" and he leaned into kiss her.

A few moments passed and the taxi pulled up to Rachel's house (Finn decided against taking Rachel to the airport because he felt that it would be too hard for him to watch her take-off.)

"Finn, my cab is here" Rachel told him as she glanced out the window. "You can let go now."

"But I don't want to" he said.

"Finn, you have to. The sooner you let me go, the sooner I'll be back for spring break." She told him. And with that, he let go, watching Rachel get into the cab and drive away.

Rachel looked down at her phone as she waited for her plane to depart. She noticed a text message from Finn. He had texted her the lyrics to a song, "Write This Down"

Baby, write this down

Take a little note

To remind you in case you didn't know

That I love you and I don't want you to go

Write this down

Take my words and read them everyday

Keep em close by, don't you let them fade away

So you'll remember what I forgot to say

Write this down

She just smiled and before she knew it, it was time to leave.

Finn walked down the halls to his class, History as tears began to run down his cheek. He stared at his phone, hoping that it would buzz, but nothing. He missed Rachel already and she had only been gone a few days. He gently opened the door to the classroom and walked inside. He noticed that all of the students in the classroom were jocks—something that he wasn't any longer. He was just a college student struggling academically and missing the love of his life. Why couldn't she just move back to Ohio and attend the Ohio State University? He hated being in Lima without her, especially now that Quinn had made her plans to be with Finn. She even knew that Finn was with Rachel.

He glanced up at the clock. Class had just begun and he felt like this was going to be the longest class of the decade. He couldn't wait for this class to be over and for him to Skype with Rachel. A friend of his had told him about Skype and how he could use it to communicate with Rachel instead of using his cell phone. He was so excited to see Rachel tonight! Even if he couldn't actually see her, he could see her on his computer screen, which is second best, he thought.

Finally, his class was out and he raced home. He turned on his monitor and logged onto his Skype account. A few seconds later, Rachel called him.

"Hey, baby" he told her.

"Hi, Finn, how are you?" she asked.

"I am doing pretty well. I miss you though. Can't you transfer to Ohio? New York is just too far away."

"Well, actually. I am glad that we are Skyping tonight because there is something that I have to tell you."

"What?" Finn wondered.

"Julliard is getting rid of the program that I would like to do, so I need to transfer to another school if I want to continue a career in music."

"Where do you need to transfer?" Finn asked.

"A little school called the Ohio State University" she told him.

Finn began to almost immediately jump up and down. He was so excited that his girlfriend was returning to Ohio. He no longer had to struggle with dating her because he could see her every day.

"Have you already applied?" Finn asked.

"Yes, and I've been accepted. I will begin in the fall." She told him.

"Baby, this is like the best day ever. I finally get to see my girlfriend every day and no longer have to be sad about her not being with me."

"I know, Finn. I concur with you that this is the best day ever."

"Concur is a good thing, right?"

"Yes, Finn, it means that I agree."

"Cool" and with that, they ended their conversation and headed off to bed.

The next morning, Finn was over the moon. Not only did he ace his Chemistry exam (he was the worst chemist, or so he thought), but his girlfriend was transferring to the Ohio State University. He thought that maybe he should apply there as well. They have a wonderful football program and the coach was always recruiting new players. He didn't even like his community college anyway. He was always seeing Quinn and that just left a sour taste in his mouth. That made his decision even easier—he was going to apply to Ohio State and be with Rachel forever. Just then, he glanced at his phone and realized that it was time for his next class to begin.

AU: Well, there's the next chapter. Sorry it took forever for me to update, but I have just been so busy with a little thing called college. I am going to wrap up this story in the next few weeks. Please still review! Much love, Stephanie
