I'm gonna admit it. I cried to Toy story 3. It's so good. I recommend that you go and watch it, like now!

So, here's the next chapterr! Completely finchel. Not sure how many chapters there are left. Kurt still has many things he needs to reprimand.

Enjoy!

Rachel stared at Finn, her mouth wide open. How did she forget that she still had the dye in her hair, and it was completely covered in cling film?

"I-I was dying my hair," she stammered, putting her face in her hands so that he wouldn't see her cheeks turning red from embarrassment.

"I can see that," he replied, a small smile appearing on his lips. He'd never seen Rachel like this before. He thought that she never got embarrassed, and here she was, on his doorstep. Then, he realised that he was being rude, something his mum would shout at him for, because he was just leaving her standing outside," Do you want to come in?

"Finn, can I ... you don't mind if ... my hair," she pointed to her head. Finn didn't understand at first, then everything sort of clicked," Yeah, you know where the bathroom is."

With a grateful smile, she ran upstairs and a few minutes later, he heard the shower running. He hoped that it wouldn't dye the bath: he'd really get in trouble for that. He closed the door, returning to the sofa. Finn had no idea how long she'd be, and his mind was suddenly asking the question

What is she doing at my house at ten at night in her pyjamas, in the middle of dying her hair?

Not that he didn't want her there. Her actually coming to him first was a good sign, wasn't it? He thought back to the argument they had had, remembering when she'd told him that it was Puck. Boy, was he an idiot. He grassed out his girlfriend for something that she didn't do. Once again, Finn was overwhelmed with a sense of guilt, thinking how long it was going to take him to gain her trust again. The sound of Rachel coming down the stairs brought him back to reality, and he felt himself tense up, suddenly very worried. What was he going to say to her?

She smiled awkwardly as she came into the living room, her hair now damp from being washed, as close to her natural colour as possible. The words were spilling out of his mouth before he could think about it," Rachel, I need to apologise to you. I was a complete jerk today and there was no excuse for it."

"No Finn," she spoke softly, placing her hand on his arm," I understand. I just barged in and started shouting at you in front of everyone. It wasn't fair. I should have spoken to you quietly first before making a big scene out of everything."

"But I deserved that. I told Kurt that it was you because I was so angry that you'd carried it on, even when you'd promised not to, and then you told me it was Puck. I felt so ashamed of myself for not even bothering to ask you. I should trust you the most out of everyone," he spoke fast, unsure of where it was all coming from.

Rachel paused for a minute, registering his words, trying to think of a logical response," Yes, you should have trusted me, but then again, I'd given you reason not to do so. I just wish that you would have waited before telling Kurt. He's determined on pranking me now, and I have no idea how to stop him."

"Sorry about that," Finn winced, thinking about all the things that Kurt could possibly do to his girlfriend," He's probably planning something right now. I don't think he even knows that you're here."

"Yeah, I think I'm gonna sleep with one eye open tonight," she joked, a small smile on her lips. He waited before asking the question, hesitating slightly.

"Do you forgive me Rach?"

He saw how her face turned from one of shock to deep concentration and he could imagine her brain working hard in search of the right words. When the pause become longer by the second, he started to regret speaking at all.

"I-I'm not sure," she pursed her lips," I thought that you wouldn't think I was the kind of person to lie. Yes, I kept something from you, but in the end, I did actually tell you about it and then you lied to me."

It felt like getting slapped across the face and then slushied. Finn assumed that it was a no, and his heart sank after hearing her thoughts. Of course, she was being completely reasonable, but he hoped that she could forgive him one more time. He spoke the only word he could think of," Oh."

"Well," she began, seemingly a little irritated by his sudden lack of speech," What would you do if it was the other way around?"

He remained staring at her, mouth open. Rachel carried on, and he was sure that it was the one she had when she was about to cry," Because, honestly Finn, I don't you that you would. And that's why it's so hard for me to actually find a reason. You've hurt me a lot of times, whether it was intentional or not, I don't know, but it still affects me."

"So what, you're breaking up with me?"it came out harsher than he wanted it to, and he saw her wince as he spoke," I'm sorry. I'm just confused. What do you mean by that Rach?"

"I mean that, it's just seems like you do something, say sorry, and I come running back into your arms. I don't want our relationship to be like that. If you start thinking that I'll always come back, you'd use it as an excuse to treat me poorly, and I will not accept that!"

Thinking about it all now, Finn knew that she was right. He'd used her so many times, and she deserved better.

"God, I can't believe you've let me be so bad to you," he let the words gush, trying to ignore the guilt," You're right. You're always right. Why do you put up with me? I'm so, so, what's the word?"

"Inconsiderate? Insensitive?"she said, and by the look on her face, she could have carried on listing all night.

"Yeah," he ran his hand through his hair nervously," I really should work on that ... you haven't answered my question."

"I know. It's all a little overwhelming. There are so many reason why I shouldn't Finn, but," his gaze fixed on her. This was a good 'but'," then I think of why I came here tonight. I don't want to lose you. As much as you can be a complete jerk, which is a lot by the way, you can also be an amazing boyfriend and I would be an imbecile to let you into the clutches of another girl."

He couldn't help it, he grinned," Nope, I'd rather be in your clutches."

When she laughed, he laughed along with her. Maybe he thought just maybe things will be alright after all.

"I'm glad," she smiled her brightest smile," So the answer is yes, I forgive you, but this is your last chance."

"I won't mess up," he told her, grabbing hold of her hand. He was so happy that he kissed her, catching the girl by surprise," And don't worry about Kurt Rach. I'll warn you about everything he's planning on doing, but I'm not telling Puck. He can take care of himself."

Rachel raised her brow at him," oh, so I can't take care of myself, can I?"

"No, I meant like, it's the right thing to do. After all, it's sort of my fault. Well actually, it's all my fault," he stammered.

"Yes it is, but thank you," she smiled," I really appreciate it. I have a feeling that he's going to pull out all the stop on seeking revenge."

There was another moment of silence, though it was now comfortable one, and Finn was slowly becoming more relaxed, happy that Rachel wasn't going to dump him. Her phone started ringing and he wondered why she had it whilst she was wearing pyjamas.

"Hello. Oh, hi Puck ... Okay, I'll be back as soon as possible ... yes ... it's all sorted out ... thank you ... you know, just letting me talk, it helped a lot ... see you in a few minutes," the conversation was rushed, but after hanging up, she looked to Finn," I have to go, Puck is at my house and he can't leave until I get back."

Finn was hit with a pang of jealousy," Why is he at your house?"

"He came over because he was upset about Quinn, and he helped me dye my hair, then we started talking about our relationships and stuff. He helped me , a lot," she informed him, in no mood for his paranoia about other guys.

"He dyed your hair?" Finn scrunched his face up into a strange expression, making Rachel just roll her eyes. She stood up, heading to the door," I can give you a ride home, if you want. I was gonna go and get some pizza or something anyway."

She smiled," Thanks Finn, and I'm happy that we've had this talk. I think now we just need to learn to trust each other again."

"Exactly," Finn nodded," We'll be fine. We always are."

Was Rachel right to forgive him? I wanna know what you think :D
