Go your own way 3
Another Alien On Broadway
Rachel had a huge plan for their first day in New York. She wanted to go sight seeing around the city and spend a nice late afternoon and a bit of the evening in Central Park. Kurt loved the idea, Blaine had no complaints, and Finn thought it best to agree with Rachel because he didn't want to deal with much of her drama for a while.
By one the group had left the apartment and headed off to meet the tour guide Rachel and Kurt had hired for the afternoon.
After the tour even Finn had to admit that New York was pretty cool but he still preferred Ohio. The final spot on the tour was central park where the 4 of them said so long to the tour guide. Kurt and Blaine wanted to go walk alone together so they split up in different directions, Kurt and Blaine went left while Rachel and Finn went right. The group made a plan that in an hour they'd meet back up to have supper together.
" So what do you think of the Big Apple so far Finn?" Rachel asked as she walked handed in hand with him.
"Well,it's big and loud. Maybe the exact opposite of home in Ohio but it's very pretty and has a very nice feel about it. It's a city of fame that's for sure," he answered.
"Do you like it?" she asked.
"I've lived here a day or so and I'm still trying to get used to it so I've got mixed feelings,"Finn explained.
"Life here is going to be great and if you miss home then maybe we can get your mom and Kurt's dad up here sometime this summer or for Christmas," Rachel suggested.
"I'd like that," Finn smiled and kissed her on the head,
The hour passed and soon they found each other and headed off to a restaurant Blaine had suggested
"Well it's got good Pizza or something," Blaine had said. "Mom said it was her favorite restaurant in all of New York. She would come up here often and all that before I was born."
"Blaine's mom has great taste in food,"Kurt told an unsure looking Finn.
"Well it's worth a shot then isn't it," Rachel beamed and dragged Finn along after.
The restaurant was a little building a few blocks away from Central Park and was fairly empty. Blaine led them in and found a table that looked out onto the city. Finn said he'd watch the table and their things while the other three went to order the food.
When he knew that Rachel had her back turned, Finn placed his head in his hands and zoned out. Why was be here? New York was to big and busy for him. If only Rachel had wanted to stay. Maybe he was just being selfish. He couldn't let her slip away he loved her to much to just let her go. He'd just have to stop finding the bad things about the city and try looking more for the great things, the things Rachel saw great. If this is were she wanted to live then this is were he would have to want to live. With new found strength and a goal, Finn Hudson sat up and grinned. New York city you've met a new star and his name is Finn, he thought to himself.
"What are you thinking about,"someone looked up to see Kurt sitting across from him.
"Nothing much really," he answered.
"Finn you seem a bit down lately are your sure you wanted to leave?" Kurt looked seriously at his step brother. Finn sighed.
"Of course I'm not sure if I wanted to go but coming here is worth leaving home and all."
"Rachel is someone really important to you we both know that. Finn remember that on a bad day okay. Just promise me that," Kurt smiled softly.
"I promise," Finn agreed. And before he could go on about how he'd never forget that, Rachel and Blaine returned with the best looking pizza any of them had ever seen.
Good things about New York, Finn thought. Best pizza ever!
