Rachel found herself starring at a big theatre where the Funny Girl auditions were being held at. She was dressed up very professionally. She had a formal black dress, her makeup was light and her hair was in soft curls that were hanging on her shoulders. She was clutching the sheet music in her hands tightly, feeling very nervous.

"Ok, Rachel. You can do this. You've prepared for this. You got this," Rachel said very quietly to herself.

After one more look at the building, she walked right on in and found the office for check in.

"Hi! My name is Rachel Hudson and I'm here to audition for Funny Girl."

The secretary was wearing a blue track suit and looked rather unfriendly in Rachel's opinion and was working on the computer.

After a minute, Rachel tried talking to her again after the secretary refused to talk to her or even look at her.

"Um, excuse me miss…" Rachel trailed off to look for a name tag, and she saw a name tag on her desk with only her last name Sylvester. "Can you please just check me in? I hate to interrupt you but…"

"Oh, can it Mrs. Focker! I heard you the first time!"

Rachel flinched at the sudden outburst. "I'm sorry. I'm just on a very tight schedule."

Sue looked at her with a death glare. "Don't make me break you," she said in a whisper.

After a minute, the secretary finally spoke again. "Alright Mrs. Focker, you're signed in. You can proceed to the auditorium. Now, get the hell out of my office."

Rachel nodded. "Thank you," She said quietly.

Rachel waited in the back of the auditorium and until she heard her name called.

The she heard it.

"Rachel Hudson!"

This was it. Her big moment. She was ready…and yet she felt like something was missing.

Ignoring the thought, she quickly went up to the stage. The lights were all on and she stood there facing 4 producers.

"Are you Rachel Hudson?" asked one of the women producers.

"Yes mam," Rachel said. "My friend Jessie Saint James told me that he knew one of you guys. He said he would give in a good word."

There was a moment of silence. Rachel watched as the producers looked at each other and spoke to each other. Rachel, unfortunately, couldn't hear any of it.

Then the female producer spoke again. "I'm sorry, but none of us know about Jessie Saint James. I'm sorry."

Rachel gasped. Jessie had lied to her. She had never felt so much embarrassment in her whole life.

I'm going to kill Jessie. Rachel thought.

Then Rachel focused her attention, on the producers again. Then one of the make producers spoke.

"So what will you be singing for us Rachel?"

"I will be singing "Don't stop believin'" by Journey"

All of the producers nodded for her to start. Then Rachel nodded to the accompanist.

Just a small town girl

Livin' in a lonely world

She took the midnight train goin' anywhere

Rachel was then picturing herself one time she sang this. With Finn.

Just a city boy

Born and raised in south Detroit

He took the midnight train goin' anywhere

Finn had always told her to go back the roots of her passion for auditions. Now was the time.

A singer in a smoky room

A smell of wine and cheap perfume

For a smile they can share the night

It goes on and on and on and on

Rachel feels powerful with this. Show them Rachel. She thought.

Then she lets her emotions take over.

Strangers waiting

Up and down the boulevard

Their shadows searching in the night

Rachel finds herself taking control on the stage. Moving anywhere. She feels reverted back to being a 24 year old woman, young and confident. The same way Finn saw her…

Streetlights people

Living just to find emotion

Hiding somewhere in the night

Oh, Don't stop believin'

Hold on to that feelin'

Streetlight people

Oh ahhh!

Don't stop believin'

Hold on!

Streetlight people

Don't stop believin'

Hold on to that feeling.

Oh! Don't stop!

Rachel ends with her hand in the air in a fist. She then takes a huge breath of relief. Her adrenaline rush is pumping. She feels amazing. Then she takes her place right back on center stage and faces the producers.

Then one of them spoke.

"Thank you, Miss Hudson. That was something…quite different."

Then a male producer spoke. "Rachel, something happened to you in the middle of the song. What was going on there?"

"I was thinking about my friends and…my husband…Finn. Um, how I was wouldn't be the person I wouldn't be today, standing right in front of you, doing what I'm doing right now if they hadn't shown me that I could. If they hadn't believed in me."

The producers starred at her for a minute. Rachel felt a bit uneasy.

"Thank you," said one of the female producers.

With that said, Rachel left.

The next few days were torture. Rachel couldn't wait to hear back from the producers. She hadn't talk to Jessie yet. The main reason was she was so angry about him lying to her.

When Rachel got home. Her phone started to ring. She quickly picked it up.

"Hello?" She asked.

"Hello, is this Rachel Hudson?"

Rachel froze. It was one the female producers from Funny Girl.

"Yes! It's me!"

"Hi Rachel, I'm calling you about your Funny Girl audition."

"Yes?"

"Well, Rachel, we really liked your audition."

Okay they liked it. That's a good thing right? Rachel thought.

"You really surprised us with it."

Ok… please get on with it.

"I'm sure you're aware that we had a lot of young ladies like yourself audition for the part and we had some good ones….Unfortunately Rachel, we can't offer the part of Fanny Brice."

Wait. What!?

"I'm really sorry Rachel. But we do thank you for auditioning for us and we wish you the best with the rest of your career."

Rachel felt tears come into her eyes, but she refused to let them fall as she answered back. "You're welcome and thank you for the privilege."

"Have a good day Mrs. Hudson."

Rachel hung up the phone. "That's not fair. No…" Rachel let the tears fall. "No, No, No, No!" Rachel punched the wall she was near to and rested her head against it. Her tears were streaming down now and sobs were wrecking her body.

After a half an hour of crying on the wall, Rachel went into the bathroom for a cold shower to calm herself down.

Finn came home late that night. When Finn went into the kitchen, he saw that Rachel's purse was there and her coat. Rachel was home.

Finn then heard what sounded like crying, coming in Rachel room. He quietly walked down to the door of her room. Sure enough, he could hear Rachel crying.

He gently knocked. Then he heard Rachel gasp and another noise.

"Rachel?" He asked as he opened the door slowly.

"Finn?"

Rachel was in her pajamas. She had her hair in a messy bun and was lying in bed. When Finn took a better look at her, he could tell Rachel had been crying…hard.

Finn then sat on the end of the bed by her feet. "Are you okay? I heard you crying from the kitchen." He asked quietly.

Rachel bit her lip. Finn could see more tears threatening to fall.

"I'm fine." She said quietly looking down at her hands in her lap.

Well that was a lie.

"Rachel…" Finn began.

"No Finn. I don't want to talk about it." Rachel snapped. She really looked like she was about to cry again.

Finn nodded and stood up. "I'll be right back."

After a minute, Finn came back with a box of tissues, chocolate and a glass of water and placed them in Rachel's bedside.

Rachel looked at the stuff and then looked at Finn. She looked surprised.

"You didn't have to do that." She said quietly.

Finn gave her a half smile. Rachel had missed the smile.

"I wanted to…" He said quietly.

After a minute of silence of just staring at each other, Rachel finally spoke.

"Finn, what's gotten into you? You've been cleaning the apartment, you've been acting nicer to me and now this. Why?"

Finn sighed and then sat on his knees by the side of the bed so he could look her right in the eye.

"I've learned that you never leave your wife alone. Especially when the relationship is toxic."

Rachel blinked in surprise, but she could see Finn's sincere look in his eyes. She knew he meant it.

Finn then started again. "Rachel for the past few weeks. I've learned through my parents and friends and this counselor that marriage takes work. I learned that I needed to get my head out of my ass so I could see what big of a fool I have been."

Finn looked at Rachel for a second. His eyes now held sadness, sincerity and a slight hint of guilt. Then he talked again.

"For the past few years, I have trampled you with my words and my actions. You never deserved it. There were things going on in my life that I never told you about because I didn't want to hurt you or make you worry about me," Finn took a shaky breath. "And I want you to know, that I am so sorry. About everything. And I want you to know that I'm fighting for you. All I want to do for the rest of my life is to make sure you're okay. And I'm hoping that one day you'll forgive me."

Rachel felt tears come into her eyes and let a few of them fall. She then looked away from Finn as she tried to grasp her feelings before she had another meltdown.

After a second Rachel looked up and spoke, "Finn…I-I don't know how to process this. I want to believe this is real, but I'm not ready to say that I trust you again."

Finn nodded. Rachel saw his eyes held a lot of different emotions that she couldn't quite figured in out.

"I just need some time…to think. Can you let me have some time?" Rachel said quickly.

Finn held his stare at Rachel and nodded his head.

Take all the time you need Rachel. Just know I'm here when you're ready to talk again."

Rachel nodded her head and gave him a small smile. God, Finn missed her smile.

"Do you need anything else?"

"No. I think I'm just going to go to bed now."

Finn nodded again and then turned to the door. Right before he left and he turned around and said, "Good night Rachel."

Rachel nodded. "Good night Finn. And thank you for the stuff."

With that said Finn gave her a half smile, and then left.

Rachel turned the light off and then fell into a steady, peaceful sleep that was so very much needed. Finn did to.
