Hprwhg00: I know right? I wouldn't mind being Rachel Berry if you get guys like Finn ;)
Lucyybella: OMG I know I had my mouth open for about 5 minutes, I had to replay it to check I didn't just imagine it. Quinn is a BITCH for doing that to poor Rachel :( Finn to the rescue?
RockerPrincess83: Well...and you actually inspired by chapter title :)
Happy Glee day guys, ahh I need my Finn v Jesse fight now!
"Alright let's get this party started." the DJ announced as Finn and Quinn entered the hall.
The quarterback took one step forward but was the stopped by Quinn who signalled for the two to get their picture taken. As she dragged him towards the photographer, déjà vu slapped Finn across the face as the memory of watching Rachel being slushied in the corridor by those jocks swept him. He wanted to go forward and save her but Quinn had stopped him like she just did. She didn't want him to go save her because she was trying to keep him and Rachel far apart so Finn would go prom with Quinn. So her plan of being prom queen would work.
"Ok so put your hand behind my back an-"
"What? No Quinn I'm not going to do t-" Finn interrupted, only to be interrupted himself.
"Oh stop being such a baby and do it." his ex girlfriend ordered before sweetly smiling into the camera.
"See that wasn't so bad." Quinn started as she and Finn walked towards the refreshments table after their photo was taken. "There was no need for you to be all-"
"I shouldn't have done this."
"What? Finn it was only a picture of u-"
"No not of that, this. Us going together to prom. Look, Quinn I came with you for all the wrong reasons and I'm sorry but I can't be your date anymore. I shouldn't have agreed to this."
"Finn I-"
"I have to go. This isn't right." the quarterback told her as he turned around and took two steps in the opposite direction before she spoke.
"Wait what? Where are you going?" Quinn asked but Finn never answered, but he didn't really have to because she had a pretty good idea where he was going, or who he was going to.
Rachel burst into the gym after spending some time alone with herself, thinking about what had happened or rather what could have happened if Mercedes didn't come in. She came to the conclusion that Rachel would have stopped it. She would have told him no, because kissing Jesse was definitely not the right path to go down but when it came to answering his question, Rachel still had no reply for him. One thing she did know was that she had to find him. She needs to talk to him about what had happened.
The brunette began to search for her ex boyfriend anywhere she could but when students where dancing to LMFAO, it was hard trying to find the guy she wanted.
"Rachel?" a male voice called from behind her.
The diva jerked her head towards the person who had called her name expecting it to be a certain ex boyfriend. Only it wasn't the ex boyfriend she was trying to find.
"Finn? Er hi what-"
"I want to talk to you about something." Finn bluntly told her.
"Ermm ok." Rachel hesitated, noticing the seriousness in his voice before shuffling in anxiety.
'Oh my gosh. Why is he talking so seriously?' Rachel thought as Finn looked over his shoulder. 'Maybe he- wait. Oh. My. Gosh. He knows. That's it. He knows about Jesse. He definitely knows. Why else would he be talking so sternly? Oh God, Mercedes must have told him. Oh no.'
"I guess you already know about it." Finn shrugged as he dug his hands deeps into his trouser pockets.
"Yeah I know and look Finn I swear I didn't know it was going to happen. It caught me off surprise. I didn't even-"
"Really? I just thought you knew 'cause you did kinda tell me, in a way. You told me all the bad things about her, I thought it would seem pretty obvious to you."
"What?"
"You know the things you told me about Quinn, like how she only talks about prom with me and nothing else. I guess you were on the ball there."
"Finn what are you talking about?" Rachel asked, raising her eyebrows in confusion.
"I broke up with Quinn. Didn't you hear?"
"Ermm no I didn't. I'm so sorry Finn."
"Why? You knew she wasn't for me. You knew it was only a matter of time."
"Oh well I'm still sorry."
"Ri…ght, so what were you talking about?"
"Huh?"
"You said you were sorry and that you didn't know. What were you talking about?"
"Oh no it doesn't matter." Rachel lied as she flapped her hand in dismissal.
"You sure because it seemed pretty important?"
No, it wasn't really. So anyway you breaking up with Quinn, what's all that about?"
"Oh nothing. I just realized how different we really were I mean she's still the same. I know it sounds crazy but I thought that she would be different after having Beth. I thought she would have changed. Be nicer or something. Appreciate life more, or her boyfriend, I dunno. I just didn't think she would go back to being the same bitchy Quinn."
"Oh I-"
"But there was something else I wanted to talk to you about."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah it was about us and h-"
"Hey Rachel." Sam interjected as he approached the pair. "Do you wanna dance? It's my favourite song and well seen as we are each others date though you didn't come with me and Mercedes in the limo."
"Oh ermm Sam I'm kinds in the middle of something with Finn can y-"
"No its ok. You can go."
"What?" Rachel asked, spinning her head back around to face the quarterback. "Are you sure?"
"Yeah what I was going to say can wait." Finn lied as he forced a smile to his face. "You guys go dance, I'll talk to you later."
"Oh ermm ok."
"Good and hey don't worry about me; I'll go talk to someone else. You go have fun Rach."
"Ok, well we'll talk later, promise." Rachel told him as she began walking away with Sam."
"I hope so." Finn muttered to himself before spinning on his heels, scanning the room for someone he knew.
"So you were in the limo with Mercedes?" Rachel asked the blonde jock as the two slow danced after Sam's favourite song.
"Yeah."
"Oh, sorry I couldn't come, I was here."
"You were here? Why?"
"Oh…I…" Rachel mentally kicked herself for blurting out that detail knowing that if enough people knew where she was then someone was sure to tell Finn who would then put two and two together, and like Mercedes, get five. "I was just helping with some decorations. You know how people can get it mixed up sometimes."
Sam chuckled at Rachel's lie causing his chest to vibrate, which happened to be the same place where Rachel's head was positioned. "So you came early to put up some decorations?"
"Yep, sorry for not being there again, but it wasn't as if I left you alone right?"
"Yeah I guess, but I still wished you had come."
"Why?"
"Well expect the fact that you're my friend, things were weird in the ride here. Mercedes was really quiet."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah, she said she needed to go and get something from school, you might of seen her, anyway when she came back she wasn't as excited as she once was. I dunno what happened. She was just really silent and wasn't her loud self. Like she was in some state of shock or-"
"State of shock?" Rachel repeated trying to not make it obvious. "What do you mean?"
"Well that's the thing, I dunno. Something must have happened to her at school because she was fine before."
"Well I didn't see her so I wouldn't know whether something happened to her." Rachel lied, as she tried looking for the girl they were talking about from where she was.
"Ok McKinley." Mr Figgins began as he spoke into the microphone after the music faded into nothing "Quiet now. It's time to announce prom king and queen of 2011."
Rachel half smiled at Sam as the two broke away from each other and, like every other student in the gym, turned to face their principle.
"Ok, let's build some suspense please. The contenders for prom king are…"
"Hey Finn." Quinn grinned as she approached the quarterback. "They're announcing prom king and queen nominees."
"Yeah I know. I am in the same room as you." Finn muttered as Quinn stood next to him, both facing Figgins, who was on stage.
"Ooh its prom king first. Hope you get nominated."
"Thanks."
"Aren't you going to wish me the same?"
"Huh? Oh yeah ermm good luck, I know you'll get it."
"Thanks Finn."
Both Quinn and Finn stood in silence as their principle revealed the first nominee. "Noah Puckerman."
Puck overdramatically gasped, mouthing the words 'It's just so unexpected' to Lauren before walking up onto the stage.
"Our second contender is…Dave Karofsky."
A few boos were heard, mainly from Blaine, as the jock clambered up to where Figgins was.
"And last is…oh ermm it's Kurt Hummel."
As soon as Kurt's name was called, all eyes directly went to the quarterback everyone thought it would be, instead of him.
"Why is everyone staring at m-"
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry Finn."
"About what?" the jock asked, turning his head away from his peers towards his ex girlfriend.
"Didn't you just hear? You weren't nominated for prom king. I'm so sorry Finn."
"What? No its fine, I wasn't really bothered anyway, it was just a stupid crown." Finn shrugged as Quinn gasped in horror.
"It is not just a stupid cro- no. I understand what's going on here. This must be the way you deal with the searing pain of rejection. Claiming the whole thing is overrated and all. I understand Finn."
"Well I don't. What are you talking about Quinn? I'm not feeling rejected by not having my name called out by Figgins."
"Finn its ok. You don't need to say anything."
"What? Quinn what are you on about? I don't care about winning prom king. Really. I don't care about it and this isn't how I'm dealing with there 'pain' because there is no pain!"
"Well whatever you say Finn. If you say it doesn't matter then it doesn't matter. Oh look, he's going to announce the two prom queens who came second and third and me. The prom queen runners up and me."
"Don't you mean the nominees?"
"Oh Finn you're so under educated in this, its actually cute. Don't you know that it's all about popularity? I am the most popular girl at here. Everyone loves me and so the two other girls who are called out are just second and third place. They won't win."
"And now for prom queen, the first nominee is…Santana Lopez."
The Latino grinned as she approached her principle.
"Quinn Fabray."
"See Finn, I knew it. I knew I would be voted. It's a popularity contest. Can't you see that?" the blonde asked before walking towards the front.
"And last but certainly not least…Miss Rachel Berry."
Finn's head instantly spun towards the brunette, who was in complete shock of her name being called out. Rachel looked at Sam, who pushed her towards the stage. As she hesitantly approached the centre, next to Quinn, the blonde scowled at every step she took. Narrowing her eyes at the sight of her.
"Ok, now the moment you'll all been waiting for. Prom king is…Dave Karofsky!"
The corners of Karofsky's mouth flickered upwards for a second as he ducked his head slightly so his crown could be placed on his head by Becky.
"Yes yes very nice, now onto prom queen. This years queen is…oh ermm I think there's been some sort of mistake." Figgins frowned at the piece of paper in front of him before walking off the stage to talk to the person who gave him the card. A few minutes later, Figgins reappeared from the stage wing, looking rather confused as the students fell to an eerie silence, awaiting the results.
"Err this years prom queen is…Kurt Hummel."
Laughter roared from the pupils as Kurt looked at his principle in terror. The glee club, which was dispersed in the crowd, frowned at the reaction Kurt received. Deciding to take it all in his stride, Kurt held his chin high as he strolled up to collect his tiara.
"I would just like to say that I suspect that this was someone's sick cruel ideas of a joke but, nonetheless, I'm prom queen meaning I'm more important than any of you peasants. Deal with it." Kurt briefly stated before smirking to himself.
"Yeah now dance." someone called from the crowd, which caused Karofsky's cheek to turn colour, in anger.
"No way. I'm not dancing with a dude. Especially not a gay one."
"Karofsky." Kurt muttered to him quietly. "What are you doing? I thought you were past the fact that I'm gay."
"Dude, I'm not dancing with you. End of. 'Deal with it'." Dave repeated before throwing his crown to the floor as he stormed off. "I'm not being king if my queens a fucking dude. No way."
"Fine, I guess the queens gotta dance by herself." Kurt told himself as he gracefully made his way towards the dance floor.
"Kurt you-" Blaine started but Kurt held one finger in his face, signalling him that he did not need him to talk him out of it.
Only when the laughter didn't stop, but increased as Kurt waltzed with himself, did it start to get to him. When all he would see is fingers pointing in his direction with laughter surrounding him. Swarming around him. That's when it snapped. When he couldn't take it anymore. Blaine could see what was happening and took one step towards his boyfriend, but at that same moment, Kurt dropped his crown as he walked off.
"Hey." Blaine started as he entered the room that only Kurt was in. "Are you ok?"
"Yes Blaine, on top of the world. My entire school think I'm a joke just because I'm gay and laughed me out of a room, literally."
"Well hey you've just got to take no notice of them, they're just-"
"No Blaine. It's easy to say but when you're constantly bombarded with homophobic people spreading their homophobic ways to everyone, it gets to you. I've been ignoring it, trying to be the bigger person but that's the thing about being the bigger person. It doesn't matter how many times you do it, you're still never going to get anywhere. They say that it will make them realize their faults and stop but it doesn't. Not in real life. Not in McKinley. Students here are sharks, eating away at your hopes and dreams until there is nothing left. Nothing. Blaine I loved it here, I still do but this just reminds me of why I had to leave. Why I had to so desperately go."
"Kurt, you're the strongest person I know. You take all that hate they send you and you channel it into something else. You let it out through song. Of course, you're going to crack now and then, bottling it all up will make you do that. But Kurt, you'll always be the bigger person and you know, the person who takes the higher road, do get their voices heard. It just takes time and I know that's not what you want to hear but it does. You have to go out there and show them that you're not ashamed of who you are. You want them to stop taunting you about your sexuality but if you don't stand up for who you are, how can you expect them to? They'll just think you're afraid and they'll use that against you. Kurt you're not afraid. Don't let them think that."
"Blaine I-"
"Hey if you're worried about being prom queen then hey. I'll be it." Blaine simply told him as he placed the tiara on his head before outstretching his hand, giving Kurt the crown. "And you can be king."
"Blaine, I-I can't even begin to tell you how ridiculous you look in a tiara."
"Really? I always thought I suited diamonds, guess not." he joked as the pair linked arms and walked back into the gym to have their first dance as prom king and queen.
"Urghh I can't believe they would do that." Mercedes told Finn as the two poured punch into their cups. "I mean who would think that is funny, seriously?"
"I know, I heard that it was some dudes idea of a practical joke and that I would have been nominated for prom king if they didn't do it. Apparently he was actually in the prom queen group, they were going to have two prom king nominees and four prom queens but Figgins thought that because he was a boy, he should be in the prom king section. I just can't believe it. I thought we were getting better. I thought the school was tackling homophobia better but I guess not."
"I just want to grab that guy and punch him so hard." Mercedes gritted through her teeth as her grip on the plastic cup tightened.
"Ok, calm down Mercedes. Don't start going around, looking for the dude. Kurts fine about it. I mean he and Blaine slow danced instead, so I guess it worked out for the best in the end. It wasn't like Kurt wanted to dance with Karofsky."
"Yeah I guess you're right. I mean if you can do it then so can I."
"What?"
"Well you know, with Jesse and all. You didn't punch him after finding out, so like I said, if you can do it, so can I right?"
"Finding out about what?"
Mercedes opened her mouth but at the same time, noticed how Finn genuinely didn't know what she was talking about. "Oh, ermm…nothing. I mean I was talking about when err…" she tried quickly thinking of something to cover her tracks. "Oh ermm when you found out she was dating him last year. You know when you were so pissed and you could have beaten him but you didn't. You just ermm accepted him even though you actually loved Rachel at the time."
"O…k then. I err…I have to go. I have to go talk to someone about something."
"Is it about Jesse?"
"No, it's not about St Jackass."
"Oh ok, good good. Bye then." Mercedes waved the quarterback off as he began to look for the brunette again.
She couldn't find him anywhere. He was nowhere to be seen. Rachel looked up and down for Jesse but it was as if he had vanished into thin air. He must have been on the move too. Looking for her no doubt. Though Rachel really wanted to continue her search for her ex boyfriend, she desperately needed to go toilet and so decided to quickly go then go back to the search.
After washing her hands, Rachel quickly checked herself in the mirror before spinning around to meet a certain blonde.
"You." she muttered, speaking through her teeth, as she approached her slowly. "You." Quinn repeated, staring at the scared brunette in front of her.
"Q-Quinn what do you want?"
"Me? I want my life back. You stole it from me. You with your ugly ways. Who do you think you are Rachel? Really?"
"Quinn I d-don't know what you're talking about."
"Oh please. Let me tell you something, you're not that little nerd who dreamed of getting so much as a look from Finn. She's gone. That innocence you once had has gone Rachel. Now, well now what's left is a girl who steals other people's boyfriends."
"I-I"
"You stole Finn, Puck, even though he wasn't technically dating me, he was still the father of my child, and Sam."
"Sam isn't-"
"Save it Berry! I don't care about your excuses. You ruined my life. I had a perfect little one before you came along. Without you, I would have still been dating Finn. I would have been prom queen. That's another thing you stole from me Rachel. Prom queen. You stole Finn, the guy who was my ticket into becoming prom queen for the fifth consecutive time."
"I didn't steal Finn. I didn't do-"
"Rachel you did steal him. First, you used your innocence, trying to make him compare me to you. The bitch to the angel. Then after, when I was dating him again, you had to show your feelings towards him. He thinks you still like him. He thinks you still have feelings towards him and you know why? Because you still lead him on. Even after you two broke up, you still managed to string him along. What I don't get is how can you, a dwarf, get guys like Finn, Puck and Jesse? They're way out of your league, yet you dated them. That's what I don't understand because you're not hot. What is the difference between us huh? I'm hot, you're not. You have and incredibly annoying personality, which pretty much, levels up with my bitchiness. Yet you seem to lead them on long after dating them. I mean Jesse came back after how many months and still wants you."
"How did you know about that?"
"Oh so it's true? I knew it. I told Finn that Jesse wasn't back just to say sorry. See he was just so naive that he believed that he wanted nothing more than to apologize. Oh how wrong he really was."
"Quinn why are you-"
"Rachel look at me. I'm not prom queen. Because of you. You did this to me. You made me like this Rachel."
"I don't-"
Quinn raised her hand and with all the force she could possibly use, she brought her hand down towards Rachel's cheek. Leaving a red hand mark on her left cheek. The brunette automatically covered her cheek as she faced the floor, her hair covering her face so Quinn was unable to see the tears that rolled from her eyes onto the floor beneath them.
"You deserved that. I'm surprised no one has done it to you earlier." Quinn snorted before leaving Rachel on her own, in pain.
"Ok, I've just had a special request from three guys wanting to sing, and God knows why, Friday." the DJ announced as he started to play the song.
"Are you kidding me?" Finn whined as he scrunched his face up after hearing the beginning of the music. "Who the fuck is singing this?" Finn asked Mike but finally got his answer when he saw three guys he recognized from Glee club, emerge from the blackness. Puck, Artie and Sam. "I'm going kill them."
"Hey its quite funny dude. You gotta admit?"
"Mike please don't tell me you actually like this song?"
"No, but I mean, Puck, Artie and Sam singing this. That's hilarious."
"No dude, it's sad. You know what, I'm going to go. I can't stand around and listen to these idiots try and sing some crappy song." Finn waved to Mike before walking out towards the entrance of the gym.
As the quarterback made his way towards the doors, Finn overheard someone say his name. Not being able to resist seeing who mentioned his name, Finn followed the direction he had heard it from, which lead him to Mercedes and Tina, who were in the corner whispering to each other but they were loud enough for Finn to hear a few words.
"And I was like oh…he didn't know and I wasn't exactly…Jesse…and you know…Rachel…empty room…kissing…I just didn't know whether to leave or…looked shocked at me. I didn't…say to him so I lied about it…"
"Finn turned around after hearing enough. The jocks direction changed, as he wasn't heading for the doors anymore, but a certain person who Finn had loathed since he first met him. Red was all Finn could see then as he ploughed through the crowd of students, looking for a particular person named Jesse St James. Then after searching for what seemed hours, Finn found him, taking to some girl. Laughing and smiling with some random girl. That was it. Finn couldn't just stand there after finding out Jesse had kissed Rachel and then started chatting up some other girl.
No he wasn't having any of it."
"Jesse!" Finn raised his voice as he made his way towards the brunette.
The UCLA student spun around after hearing his name being called. A small grin spread on his face, which caused Finn's eyes to narrow even more, after recognising the person who had said his name. Finn wondered whether he would be able to punch the smile straight off his face. Punch him unconscious. "Finn."
"What the hell?"
"What? Can I help you with something?"
"Don't act like a fucking saint now Jesse. I know what you did. I know you kissed Rachel you son of a bitch."
"Excuse me?"
Finn couldn't hold it in anymore. Watching the excuses pass out of his lips, Finn felt a tingling sensation in the back of his neck. He needed to do it now. Finn's fists clenched as Jesse said he didn't do anything and then he did it. He did something he wanted to do since first meeting him. Since laying eyes on him for the first time. Finn punched Jesse sending him back a far distance.
After stabling himself from toppling over, Jesse wiped the blood that poured down from his nose and looked up at Finn, who still had the same facial expression of death on his face. Hate in his eyes. Blood on his knuckles.
"Are you crazy?" Jesse asked as he approached the quarterback.
By then, the music had died down and no one dared to say a word, as they all watched in horror as Jesse staggered towards Finn.
"Nope." Finn simply answered before lying on the floor, with a stabbing pain in his stomach and blood in his mouth.
"I think you are."
"No I'm crazy over one thing and you treated her like shit. No worse than shit. There isn't even a word to explain how you treated her."
"That's because you can't think of one. You're not as intellectual as me Finn. Rachel isn't on your level. She's way smarter than you. Don't you think she'd get bored of you? Bored of your stupid words. She doesn't want to be weighed down Finn."
"You don't know a thing about her." Finn snapped as he got up onto his feet.
"Oh please I think I do. See what Rachel and I have is something you will never have with her."
"I could say the same thing. See I love her, you don't care about her at all."
"Then why do you think I came back to this hell hole of a school? I came back because I care about her."
"No you don't." Finn replied as he punched Jesse in the chin in an upwards motion. "You don't care about her Jesse. Admit it."
Rachel opened the girl's toilet door to hear nothing but shouting from Finn and Jesse. The rest of the students were surrounding them in a circle with their mouth slightly ajar.
"Oh no." Rachel muttered under her breath as she made her way towards her two ex boyfriends.
"No, I lov-"
"BREAK THIS LADY FIGHT UP!" Coach Sylvester ordered as she stood in between the two. "Look, you two can continue this pathetic excuse of a fight outside. Now."
"You're throwing us out?" Finn asked as his eyes widened.
"Yes Frankenteen, now go! And you Schuester wannabe. Out you go."
"Finn! Jesse!" Rachel called as she ran out of the school, looking for the two. "Finn!" she repeated after noticing a tall figure limping in the car park. "Finn." the brunette ran towards the figure to see another slowly approaching the first. "JESSE NO!"
"Rachel what are you-"
"What the hell happened to you two?" Rachel asked as she finally caught up with the pair. "W-why were you fighting in there?"
"Ask St Jackass." Finn murmured as he spat out blood to the left of him.
"Jesse?"
"Finn just came out of nowhere and attacked me. He started shouting about something to do with the kiss we had. I told him we didn't but of course he wouldn't believe me."
"That's because you're a fucking liar St Jerk."
"Shut the fuck up Finn."
"Make me."
"Finn! That's enough. Look, I didn't kiss Jesse. We nearly did but Mercedes walked in and we didn't. We didn't kiss Finn. That's the truth."
"Rachel I still need to know." Jesse turned to face the brunette, who could only see the two by the street lamp behind her, which lit up their faces, showing their bruises and wounds. "I need to know what your answer is."
"What answer?" Finn asked as he tried standing upright, but couldn't as he groaned in pain as he tried straightening his back.
"I told her I loved her." Jesse stated, still staring at Rachel.
"What?"
"I'm sorry Jesse." Rachel started. "But what you did to me I-I can't get over, I don't think I will. Ever. It will always be a painful experience that many of my future songs will be about. Plus how do I know that you're not just trying to distract me this time? Trying to steal my attention away from Glee so at nationals, your old team can win?"
"No I wouldn't do that. Rachel I'm not vindictive."
"Huh." Finn muttered loud enough for him to hear.
"I do actually love you believe it or not. I do. I realized what I did. I realized that I didn't know what I had until I threw eggs at you. Until I left. I mean Rachel I told you about how I originally felt towards you and how it gradually changed. Please, you have to believe me."
"But it was believing you the first time that lead me to my hair smelling of rotten eggs."
"Rachel please I love you."
"Pfftt, course you do." Finn snorted which caused Jesse to punch him in the face.
"Finn!" Rachel placed her hand on his shoulder, after intervening in their fight, and in a hushed tone, she whispered in his ear. "I'll talk to you later."
"What? I didn't do anything. He punched me. You saw him." Finn told her.
"Yes but you're provoking him."
"Wha- fine! I get it. You go talk to him; I guess I wasn't on her level after all, right Jesse?" Finn asked as he walked towards the car park. "Bye Rach."
"Finn you-" Rachel started but he had already gone. He had already walked away into the darkness that consumed him.
"Jesse, why did you have to do that?"
"What? I- Rachel look I need your answer."
"I'm sorry but I don't reciprocate your feelings Jesse."
"No, no I can't accept that as an answer."
"Well you'll have to because its not u I love." Rachel told him before running off in the same direction the quarterback went.
"Finn?" Rachel called as she wondered in full car park. "Finn?" she closely examined every car, looking for Finn's blue jeep, looking for any moving figure to help her.
Just as Rachel was about to go back inside, convincing herself that he either left or walked home, she spotted his jeep and a tall figure approaching it.
"Finn!"
"Oh you came to see me." the quarterback lifelessly spoke as he opened his door. "What, have you finished making out with Jesse?"
"Finn please." Rachel started as she slammed her hands on his car bonnet. "Just stop and listen to me."
"Why? You love Jesse don't you?"
"No, look I'm sorry Finn and I'm not in love with Jesse nor am I dating him in any way. You have to believe me Finn."
"Why didn't you tell me then?"
"I was going to, I tried but-"
"That's what you were talking about earlier. Wasn't it? Saying I'm sorry and that you didn't know it was going to happen."
"I-"
"Hey." Finn wrapped both of his arms around the brunette, who burst into tears. "Hey, don't cry Rach. What about you being nominated for prom queen huh? That's pretty good right? Means you're becoming popular."
"Not really." Rachel muttered as she wiped her tears away with the back of her hand. "I bet it was a joke, like Kurt. I bet I was nominated by mistake. No one would vote for me, I'm just a silly girl who steals people's boyfriends."
"What? Who told you that?"
"No one. I just thought it."
"Well you're not."
"Thanks."
"Hey, will the runner up queen dance with, as Kurt would put this, her peasants?"
Rachel let a chuckle pass her lips as she silently nodded, letting Finn's arm wrap around her waist. The brunette rested her head on his shoulder, tucking her face into his warm, safe, neck. A place Rachel loved.
"You know, I didn't even get to tell you how beautiful you look tonight." Finn whispered as the two continued to slow dance in the car park with no music on.
"Well you look very smart."
"Yeah I know." Finn shrugged as he leaned back slightly so he would be able to place his lips on her cheek, only when he brushed some of her hair back, Finn saw a large red hand mark on her left cheek. "W-what the hell?"
"It's nothing. Just a silly misunderstanding really."
"Ouch it looks like it hurt. Here, let me make it better."
"And how exactly are you going to do that?"
"By kissing it." Finn stated before planting one kiss onto her cheek, setting that piece of skin on fire.
"I love you." Rachel whispered, but not even understand why because it wasn't as if anyone were to hear them.
"Love you more."
"No you don't."
"Yeah I do. It's physically impossible for any human being on planet earth to love something more as I do for you."
Finn's words caused color to rush into Rachel's cheeks, hiding the had mark Quinn had gave her.
"Rachel, I need you to know something."
"Yeah?" Rachel replied as she leaned back, so she was able to see his face.
"I'm never letting you go."
R-r-review:) I know the ending was Cheesy Doritos with sprinkled cheese on top but hey that's me :D, also I know Rachel doesn't follow Finn out after he gets kicked out but we need some Finchel, right? ;) Anyway love you guys for reading this fic and hopefully I'll see you guys reviewing on another story of mine :)
