Finn rushed outside and into the school parking, however he sighed and groaned out loud when he saw no sign of Rachel.

'Fucking hell!' he muttered, digging his phone from his pocket and dialing Rachel's number, hoping she would pick up. He groaned in frustration when it went to her voice mail.

'Rach! Babe, please just pick up... Let me know where you are and I'll pick you or I'll come to you if your still in school. Just pick up and let me know where you are'


'So, what's happens now?' asked Kurt, as Finn disappeared from view and the door swung shut. Everyone was silent for a few minutes, before they heard the sound of tyres squealing and getting fainter as they drove away.

'Okay, there goes my lift home' said Kurt, folding his arms. Mr Shue was pinching the bridge of his nose and shaking his head,

'I'll give you a lift home' Blaine said to Kurt.

'What the hell has happened to you guys? I know some of you are drunk from last night, but still... It doesn't give you the right to slack off whether its your work, Glee Club or annoying one of your friends so much that she storms out!' Mr Shue ranted, loudly. The club stared at him, slightly surprised at his outburst, even Mr Shue himself.

'Right, go on. Early finish! And I expect you ALL in a better mood tomorrow!' Mr Shue shouted, as they all scrambled from the room.

'Jesus Christ' Mr Shue muttered to himself, shaking his head...


'FINN! FINN!' Kurt screamed as he entered the Hudson-Hummel household. He was greeted instead by Carole and Burt sat on the sofa, eating thieir tea and drinking a glass of red wine.

'Kurt, you okay? asked Carole

'Have you seen Fiinn?' Kurt asked, taking his jacket off and hanging it up.

'Yeah, he's at Rachel's' Carole answered, turning her attention to the tv

'Oh, he found her?' Kurt questioned, making Carole and Burt frown and look at him.

'What do you mean found?' Burt asked his son. Kurt cursed himself in the head and rolled his eyes.

'Well, something happened in Glee Club and Rachel stormed out and Finn followed her' Kurt said, using the shortened down version of events. Carole raised an eyebrow.

'Why? What happened?' she asked

'I can't remember' Kurt lied, smiling, before grabbing his bag and rushing up the stairs, leaving Carole and Burt looking at the spot where he had stood, with confused looks on their faces...


Rachel was curled up on her bed, tears streaming down her face. When she had rushed home, taking a shortcut she had found a few weeks ago, she had found that a parcel had been delivered for her. She had carried it upstairs and found it was from her Aunt Sarah. She had opened the box and found some of Ryan's possessions and a letter. She had open the letter and read it, Ryan's scrawly handwriting making tears well in her eyes.

Hey Rach,

If you're reading this, then something bad has happened, but rest assured that I'm in a better place. I always be with, helping you make the decisions in life.

I'll be there when you have your first Broadway show, when you get married, have your first child. I may not be there in person, but I'll always be there in spirit, helping you as best as I can.

You were more than a cousin to me, you were the sister I never had. When you told me were moving to Ohio, I thought that would be the end of our bond, but you proved me wrong, like you always did.

Keep smiling, darling

Love you always

Ry xx

Now, she was curled up on her bed with tears streaming down her face, clutching Ryan's favorite Letterman jacket to her chest. She could hear banging on the front door and Finn shouting her name. She thanked her stars, that her Dad's weren't at home. Soon, the banging ceased and it was all quiet, making Rachel sigh... Until her phone blasted to life. She groaned, but didn't answer it. The voice mail tune chimed a few minutes later and Rachel picked it up, dialing the number and listened to the message.

'Rach, I know you're at home and that you don't want to see me! Okay, I'll go back to mine now, but I'm coming back later to check on you. I'm gonna have a word with Kurt and Puck, mark my words... I love you, babe' Rachel groaned and buried her face in pillow, muffling her scream. She rolled onto her back and stared at the ceiling. She sniffled and got off her bed, heading to her bathroom...


Finn arrived home and dumped his bag on the stairs, slamming the front door shut.

'MOM? BURT?' he shouted

'In here!' Carole shouted back, from the kitchen. Finn walked in and smiled at his Mom and nodded at Burt.

'What's going on with Rachel?' Carole said. Finn, who was rooting through the fridge, froze.

'Erm... Nothing. Why?' he asked, turning back to face his Mom with a can of soda in his hand.

'Well, according to Kurt, she ran out of Glee Club, upset' Burt said, taking a sip of his coffee. Finn raised an eyebrow. How much had Kurt told them?. Finn sighed.

'Okay, look it was us... Okay, but we didn't mean for him and Blaine to hear us' Finn started, but he cut himself off as his Mom raised a hand.

'Do what?' she asked. Finn opened his mouth to speak when the sound of someone falling down the steps reached their ears. Kurt landed in heap at the bottom of the stairs, making Finn stifle a laugh at his expression.

'Don't leave your bag on the stairs! I cold broken my neck or something!' Kurt scolded Finn, as he picked himself up and walked into the kitchen. He smoothed his hair down, looking into the toaster to do, before turning round and facing his family.

'What?' he asked, when he saw all them staring at him. Finn let out the laugh that was threatening to erupt from him, making Kurt frown.

'Finn was just telling us what you and Blaine walked in on today at school? What happened?' Carole asked, making Finn freeze and Kurt look at Finn, disgust written on his face.

'Oh my god!' Kurt screeched, making Carole and Burt cover their ears.

'For god sake, Kurt. We were making out! nothing else! So get them dirty thoughts out of your head!' Finn shouted, before grabbing his soda and storming upstairs to his room. Kurt watched as Carole and Burt uncovered their ears.

'What was that about?' Burt asked. Kurt shuddered and rushed to the front door

'I'm going to Blaine's. I need wash my ears out!' Kurt shouted, before slamming the door shut...


The next day, Finn was waiting for Rachel by her locker. So far, there was no sign of her and that slightly worried him. A punch to his shoulder brought him out of his thoughts.

'What's up with you?' Puck asked. Finn answered with a hard punch to Puck's arm.

'OW!' shouted Puck, clutching his arm.

'I could kill you for yesterday!' Puck rolled his eye sand groaned

'How many more times? Hummel started it!' Puck protested.

'I don't give a shit who started it! You shouldn't have riled Rach up about that 'other girl' comment!' Finn said loudly, Puck smirked.

'Yeah, if she's like that in bed, she's a keeper' said Puck, before darting down the hallway, when Finn slammed his locker door shut and glared darkly at him. Finn sighed and rested his head on his locker.

'Idiot!' Finn grumbled to himself, before reopening his locker and getting his Spanish books out...


After school, Finn jumped into his Mom's car, what she had lent him, until his car was fixed, and drove to Rachel's house. He parked up and got out of the car, heading up the pathway. He knocked on the door and it was soon opened by Rachel's Dads.

'Oh Finn! Is Rachel with you?' LeRoy asked. Finn frowned

'Eh?' he asked

'Rachel said she was getting a ride with you to school last night, so she said she said she was sleeping at yours' said LeRoy. Finn's eyebrow raised.

'She said she was sleeping at mine? It's the first I've heard of it' said Finn. LeRoy and Hiram looked at each other, terror slowly etching onto their faces.

'Why do I get the feeling she wasn't at school today?' asked Hiram

'That's because she wasn't' Finn answered.

'Well, then if she wasn't at yours or a school-' LeRoy began

'Then where the hell is she?' Finn finished LeRoy's sentence, fear in his tone, as horrible possibilities entered his head at the thought of something happening to Rachel...
