Hey guys! Who's excited for this Sunday's episode? MEEEE!:D Finally- Finn and Rachel's confrontation. :) Enjoy! Song is Last Kiss. Go and listen to it. Now. :)
Rachel sang chorus after chorus of her favourite songs, but nothing seemed to help. Before she knew it, she was humming the chorus to a Taylor Swift song. She opened her mouth and began to sing, not even noticing the figure that had slipped through the door and was now watching her.
I still remember the look on your face
Lit through the darkness at 1:58
The words that you whispered for just us to know
You told me you loved me, so why did you go away,
Away
I do recall now, the smell of the rain
Fresh on the pavement, I ran off the plane
That July 9th, the beat of your heart
It jumps through your shirt, I can still feel your arms
But now I'll go
Sit on the floor wearing your clothes
All that I know is I don't know
How to be something you miss
I never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips
I do remember the swing of your step
The life of the party, you're showing off again
And I'd roll my eyes and then you'd pull me in
I'm not much for dancing, but for you I did
Because I love your handshake, meeting my fathers
I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets
How you'd kiss me when I was in the middle of saying something
There's not a day I don't miss those rude interruptions
And I'll go
Sit on the floor wearing your clothes
All that I know is I don't know
How to be something you miss
I never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips
So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep
And I feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe
And I'll keep up with our old friends
Just to ask them how you are
Hope it's nice where you are
And I hope the sun shines and it's a beautiful day
And something reminds you you wish you had stayed
You can plan for a change in the weather and time
But I never planned on you changing your mind
So I'll go
Sit on the floor wearing your clothes
All that I know is I don't know
How to be something you miss
I never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips
Just like our last kiss
Forever the name on my lips
Forever the name on my lips
Just like our last
Soon, Rachel found herself slumped on the floor, sobbing uncontrollably. Then she heard him speak.
"I wouldn't have left, you know."
Her head snapped up, and she hastily brushed the tears from her eyes.
"I wasn't going anywhere. At least, I wasn't planning to. But I trusted you. I counted on you."
Her voice broke as she spoke. "I trusted you too, Finn. You're not the only one who left with a shattered heart and broken trust."
She stood up shakily and brushed off her skirt.
"I didn't do anything wrong."
She laughs bitterly at that. "You didn't do anything wrong? I counted on you. To stick up for me. To defend me. To be the one person in this whole school who knew me for who I was- who I still am. And time and again you let me down. You always told me you loved me, but you never showed it. At least not when others could see. You're very good with words. But you can never follow through with your actions. What was I? Some sick game? See how long you could lead me on? Some bet that you made with your football buddies, seeing how long you could toy with my heart? Because it ends now. I'm done letting my heart be your game, free to use and play with. I have feelings too, Finn. I needed someone to love me and be proud of me. Clearly you weren't."
He interjects, protesting loudly. "I WAS proud that you were my girlfriend, Rach." He immediately regrets using the nickname when he sees her flinch. "You have no idea how happy it made me that MY name was hanging from your neck."
She suddenly feels drained. When she speaks again, it's in a weary voice. She's tired of arguing.
"You're right. I don't have any idea what that necklace meant to you. Because you never told me. You never showed it."
He looks down at the floor, and she's almost through the doors before he speaks again. "I did love you, you know. And I still do."
She pauses, her hand on the doorknob, and turns back to him. "You know, Finn, sometimes I wonder if you ever did. Because you don't let go of someone you love as easily as you let go of me."
And then she's gone, and he's the one who's falling to the floor, sobbing.
OOOH, angst! Two more chapters to go, and I apologize in advance, because the next chapter is really, really short. I need to fix it up before I post it, so don't expect it right away. Maybe in a couple of days.
