Tears were streaming down my face, I couldn't believe the way he had treated me; he hated me. I let out a sob that I just couldn't hold in any longer and suddenly I was pulled into a very familiar embrace.

"Shh, shh. He's such an ass. C'mere, that's it." Kurt led me to his room just down the hall, soothing me all the way there. I really appreciated it but was just too upset to even attempt to thank him for what he was doing for me. I felt like my heart had been ripped into shreds, my soul had been shattered to a million pieces, I could barely breathe. We sat on his bed; he rocked me for what felt forever, it was especially what I needed.

As I had started to calm down from my hysterics, he had seen the look of pure pain on my face, and decided to soothe me through song. His beautiful voice filled me and I listened to what he had chosen to sing for me.

I can't pretend to know how you feel,
But know that I'm here, know that I'm real,
Say what you want, or don't talk at all,
Not gonna let you fall

Reach for my hand,
Cause it's held out for you,
My shoulders are small,
But you can cry on them too,
Everything changes, but one thing
Is true, understand,
We'll always be more than a band

(More Than a Band – Lemonade Mouth)

He finished and I gave him a weak smile to show my thanks, it was a song we could both really relate to at that point in time. I hoped we never lose what we had right at that moment.

"Have you calmed down now Rach? I can't believe he said that to you."

Although what Kurt said did return tears to my eyes, I was able to converse with him that time.

"I think I've gotten over the worst if it, thank you for being here Kurt."

"Of course I would be here silly. Love you forever bestie!" He replied emphatically, with a smile, which of course made me smile.

"I'm glad I got a smile out of you." He nodded with approval which ended up making me smile a bit more, but as I though about the precarious position I was in, my smile had soon started to fade.

"What am I going to do? He hates me; he wishes I never came back from New York."

Kurt gave me a sympathetic look and sighed deeply before he carefully thought out his words before replying to me.

"You can see it from his point of view though, can't you Rachel? Don't get me wrong, he is in the wrong in this whole drama, but, you can see where he's coming from can't you?"

My blank face at his weary eyes gave him all the answers he had needed.

"Rach, he didn't get into NYADA, and neither did I. He was heartbroken that he wasn't following you to New York to further education. And then he suddenly thinks further that because of that situation, he can't go to New York with you. He felt like he could live with that situation to be honest, as long as you were off living your dream, that's all that really mattered to him of course. But then you said you were deferring your entry! So you could go together! That's what threw him over the edge, Rach. He couldn't take you holding back your dreams just for him. You see it now?"

After Kurt's long speech all I did was sit there and gape at him. That is what Finn really felt like? Was that what he had been trying to tell me that dreadful day at the station last week? I finally came to my senses enough to ask an important question.

"Kurt, how do you know all that?"

It had started to pester mind now, needing to know if he had really gotten this information from Finn himself.

"Step brothers do talk to each other you know!" He said in a slightly sarcastic voice.

That meant he knew exactly what Finn was saying, but even though I now, more clearly saw his side of the story, I couldn't ignore what had just happened. He had shouted at me, made me cry, hurt me. I couldn't just forgive him for that. Never mind his stupid proposition about joining the army.

"I do see his side now, Kurt, thank you. But I can't ignore how he has just treated me. That hurt me to my core; I can't be treated like that ever again. Maybe this separation is for the best."I told him solemnly; in return he gave me a depressed look.

"I understand Rach, truly, I do. But don't rule out all the time you've spent together, fighting for each other. Don't let that all just fall away." Kurt pleaded with me, it had made me slightly anxious.

"I can't just forgive him for what he just did to me Kurt! I don't know if I could ever forgive him for that, it broke me." I sniffed, I had to get out of there, I couldn't take it anymore.

"I'm going home; I'll see you in a couple of days. I'll text you when I get through the front door. If he talks to you, tell him- Tell him I enjoyed our time together and don't regret it, and that I will never forget him." I told him gravely, proud of myself that I managed to get it all out to him. His face was all I needed to see to see that he hadn't approved of what I had said, but the short nod I received shortly after told me he would relay my message.

I had nothing else to do here, so gathered my bag, gave Kurt a quick hug, told him I would text him later, and swiftly left the house leaving behind my ex-lover and my best friend behind me.

AN: Wow, you guys are so nice! Love the reviews and the amount of story alerts this story has been getting – I'm very humbled.

Next is going to be the final confrontation between Rachel and Finn, Kurt told Finn you see.

I don't know what to do with this story after Finchel make up, so if you have any ideas please tell me! See you soon, thank you for reading.
