Here is chapter 3 :) By the way, I apologize for possible grammar or spelling mistakes, English is not my native language but I'm trying my hardest :)

Finn instinctively backed away a few steps. There was complete silence for what seemed like an eternity and he desperately tried to figure out what he was supposed to do. The girl stared at him with a mix of confusion and plain utter dread. He did not know what scared her so much but something horrible must have happened. Then again…this was the closed ward. After all there had to be a reason why she was in here. But god, those eyes. Finn was positive that he had never seen eyes that were more beautiful in his entire life, not even Quinn's.

"Hi…umm… sorry for barging in but I heard you scream and was wondering whether you were okay" he mumbled and felt more stupid than ever. She was so not okay, anyone could see that. With that, the girl snapped out of her trance and buried her face inside her hands again.

"Okay, I didn't mean to upset you…I guess I'll just leave then" he apologized and slowly turned around. When he was almost at the door, he heard a tiny whisper.

"Are you the doctor?" Finn turned around and caught her starring at him questioningly.

"What? Oh, no…I am…I am just…" She nodded slowly as if her head was trying to process the information.

"Are you expecting a doctor?" he asked and walked towards her again.

"I guess… they told me that the doctor wanted to see me but I don't like him. Always gives me weird pills" she explained. Finn was now in front of her and she looked up at him, obviously glad that he was not who she thought he was.

"I'm sure the doctor just wants to help you. Hey, what's your name?" he asked and carefully sat down next to her. She moved away slightly and pulled an arm around her waist as if she wanted to protect herself.

"Rachel. Rachel Berry" she said,

"I'm Finn Hudson" he introduced himself and was almost expecting her to recognize who he was, he was waiting for that spark of acknowledgement in her eyes that people usually got when he introduced himself but it did not show up. No realization, just a simple nod again and to him, that was almost a relief. Her gaze was fixed on the wall across the room, as if she was seeing something terribly interesting, but there was nothing, aside from plain white painting.

"What are you doing here?" she suddenly blurted out and a hint of anger was in her voice.

"Like I said, I just wanted to look after you" he replied, a little startled by her sudden outburst.

"You should leave. Jinx does not like you" she said and now he was completely confused. Who the hell was Jinx?

"Okay, I don't get it. Who is Jinx?" he asked and she pointed towards the empty corner of the room.

"Jinx is my cat. But she is a mean cat and right now she hisses and wants to scratch you" Rachel stated matter of factly with a shrug. Finn blinked and tried his hardest to spot a cat anywhere but he saw nothing. Then he looked back at her to see whether she was kidding but her expression was completely serious. Suddenly it dawned on him why this girl was here. She seemed to hallucinate, at least that was what it looked like to him, not that he knew much about it, though.

"Please, go away. I don't want her to hurt you" she pleaded und tears started to form in her eyes again.

"I'm pretty sure she won't hurt me" Finn said and instinctively gave her shoulder a light squeeze to comfort her. HeH

He felt bad for Rachel, he had never met anyone who hallucinated but he could only imagine what kind of torture it had to be. Then he felt her hand gently covering his and it was like his skin was burning, but in a good way. A tingling sensation shot through him, her hand was so soft on his and it was really tiny compared to his giant paw. They sat there in silence for a while until a gasp caused them to wince.

"Mr Hudson!" The sharp voice of Emma Pillsbury made jump up from his space next to Rachel.

"Mrs Pillsbury, I am so sorry, I…" he rambled and nervously fumbled with his fingers.

"Care to explain what you are doing in here?" she asked and the expression on her face gave away that she was boiling.

"The door wasn't locked and I heard her scream and I just worried" he replied in a sheepish voice.

"You could've told the staff" she snapped.

"I know. I'm sorry" he answered and looked at Rachel who had just wrapped her arms around her knees and didn't seem to notice what was going on.

"I have to ask you to come with me" she said and turned around. Finn looked at Rachel one last time and she looked right back into his eyes, locking them.

"Goodbye, Rachel" he whispered and raised his hand to wave at her.
"Goodbye Finn" she replied and blinked rapidly. Then he followed Mrs Pillsbury down the corridor. He was confused by what he had seen and tried to resist the urge to ask Mrs Pillsbury but failed miserably.

"Mrs Pillsbury, I know I wasn't supposed to be in there but I just meant well, please believe me" he said. Mrs Pillsbury turned towards him.

"I believe you. You seem like someone with a good heart and I really don't mind you talking to the other patients but it is just…difficult with Ms Berry. She is not like the others and there is a reason why she is in the closed ward" Mrs Pillsbury said.

"I kind of figured that" he replied.

"What you've seen must be very confusing to you" she stated.

"Yes…yes it is. Rachel…I mean, Ms Berry seems like a good person but to be honest she also scared me. What is wrong with her?" He exhaled and felt a shiver run through his body.

"I can't tell you that" Mrs Pillsbury said and looked at him apologetically.

"Okay. But please tell me whether she will be okay again" he asked and for some reason he mentally begged that the answer was yes.

"We don't know" Mrs Pillsbury said with a sad expression in her eyes. Then they reached the table again where Santana, Kurt, Mercedes and Marley were still sitting. For some reason Finn felt the urge to get out of here. He had seen too much already and he felt bad for disappointing the others but he had a lot to think about. They all stared at him in disbelief.

"What is she like? None of us has ever spoken to her" Santana asked bluntly but Mrs Pillsbury just gave her a disappointing look.

"Enough, Ms Lopez" she said.

"Are you leaving already?" Kurt asked.

"I'm sorry. But you guys are incredible, I will come back. I just have a lot to think about right now" he said and they all nodded. Then he quickly handed his donation over to Mrs Pillsbury and left the ward, almost running down the stairs and through the front door.

"My apartment, please" he panted and his driver nodded, starting the engine and leaving Mount Hope Psychiatric Hospital. During the entire ride home, a certain pair of chocolate brown eyes wandered through his mind. Rachel Berry fascinated him and for some reason caused his heartbeat to speed up but at the same time she kind of freaked him. But he knew one thing for sure: He had to see her again, even if it was just to see whether she was okay or not.

Sooo...Finn and Rachel met ;) Wanna find out what happens next? Stay tuned and please review :)
