Thanks for all your reviews on the last chapter :) Means a lot to me :)

Ready to find out the aftermath? I wonder what will happen now Finn knows Rachel has been lying to him for months?

Enjoy X

Kurt and Finn arrive back home. Kurt jumped out of the car, while Finn stayed where he was, behind the wheel.

'Finn, come on' Kurt said. Finn sighed and switched off the engine, climbing from the car. He locked the car and up and walked past Kurt to get into the house. Kurt sighed, as he knew getting his brother to talk would be difficult. He followed Finn into the living room and frowned as he saw a coffee stain near the kitchen door. Finn sighed, as he saw what Kurt was looking at.

'What happened, Finn?' asked Kurt gently, as he sat down besides his brother. Finn sighed and clasped his hands together, resting his head on them.

'I got home from school. I couldn't concentrate, knowing she was out there and possibly in danger. When I got home, I fell asleep and I was woken by Rachel knocking on the door. I didn't notice it at first, but her skin was yellow... and she was trouble, but I was just so relived to have her back in my arms, I ignored the signs' Finn whispered. Kurt placed a hand on his step brother's shoulder and rubbed it.

'What happened then?' Kurt asked gently

'I sat her down and I went to make a drink. When I came back... She was passed out on the floor but I managed to rouse her and get her to the hospital. She managed to walk like four steps before she passed out... And you know the rest' Finn told Kurt, who sighed.

'I can't believe it. But, one thing I don't understand is... If she was drinking, why wasn't she drunk in school?' Kurt questioned. Finn shrugged his shoulders.

'I don't know, Kurt. I don't know' Finn answered, sighing. He got to his feet and headed up to his room, slamming the door shut...

Rachel slowly came round after crying herself to sleep. The room was dark and the only light what was provided, was from a lamp in her room.

'Rachel? Honey, you okay?' LeRoy asked. Rachel turned her head in her Dad's direction, as she heard his voice.

'Daddy?' she whispered

'Hi, princess. How you feeling?' LeRoy asked, reaching up and stroking his daughters forehead. Rachel looked round and frowned.

'Where's Finn?' she asked

'He's gone home, darling. Getting some rest' her Dad replied. Rachel looked down and played with the blanket, her eyes filling with tears.

'He hates me. He said that he couldn't trust me anymore' she sniffled 'What have I done?' she sobbed, looking at her Dad. LeRoy stood up and hugged his daughter, rubbing her back comfortingly.

'He doesn't. He's in shock. We all are'

'I need to see him, Daddy! I need to see him' Rachel cried. LeRoy pulled back.

'He said he'll come back tomorrow and see you' LeRoy lied, making Rachel calm down a little bit...

Two days later, Finn was laid in bed. He had been suspended after attacking Puck. It had started when Finn entered Glee Club the day previous and noticed everyone was sombre. It turned out Kurt had told the club about Rachel's condition, when Finn had told him not to. Puck had go to his feet and apologized to him, only Finn saw red and went for him, pinning the blame on him for selling the fake ID's. Mr Shue had separated them and dragged them to Figgins's office, when they both receive suspension and a everyone who had bought a fake ID from Puck were made to return it to Figgin's office, where they were destroyed. Finn sighed and grabbed his phone, seeing a new message from Rachel.

Sender: Rach

I'm home. Please come by. I really need to see. I love you xxx

Finn sighed, knowing he would have to face her sooner or later. He swung his long legs off the bed and got changed from his pajamas and got changed into a tight black t shirt and a pair of jeans. He headed downstairs after brushing his teeth and getting washed, grabbing his car keys from the key hooks, and headed down to his car. He slammed the door shut and started up his car, putting it in gear and setting off for Rachel's house. He arrived at Rachel's house twenty minutes later and stopped his car, looking up at the house. He saw LeRoy in the upstairs window, on the phone. He saw him and waved, seeing LeRoy nod when Finn got out of the car and point towards the house. He opened the front door and shut it behind him, toeing off his shoes.

'Rach?' he called.

'Finn?' she questioned, the surprise evident in her voice. He poked his head round the living room door and stepped into the room, seeing Rachel curled up on the sofa, the quilt wrapped tightly round her body. He took a step towards her, before heading to sit down on the coffee table, in front of her.

'How you feeling?' he asked gently. Rachel smiled slightly.

'Like shit. And I'm tender, like even the slightest touch will hurt me' she said honestly. Finn looked pained, like he was trying to hold back tears. He reached out to touch her, his fingers brushing her hair behind her ear. Rachel's hand wrapped round his wrist and she turned to press a kiss to his palm.

'I'm sorry. You've got to know that Finn! I'm so sorry' she said, tears slipping down her face. Finn released a single tear from his eye, but quickly wiped it away.

'I know you're sorry, I know... But, Rach, I can't trust you anymore' he said, emotion choking his words 'I can't trust you to be on your own, I'm terrified I'm going to be woken up one day to be told that you're gone, this time for good..' Finn said. He saw the hurt flash in Rachels eyes, but it was gone as quick as it came.

'I'm sorry. I hope one day you can trust me again' Rachel said, wiping her tears away. Finn watched her and sighed, wiping his eyes.

'Rach...' he breathed, closing his eyes and sniffling. He heard Rachel stifle a gasp, her breathing getting heavier.

'Don't break up with me, Finn! Please don't!' she whispered. Finn opened his eyes and stared at her.

'You need to get better and prove to me that I can trust again! And I'm not going to hold you back in your recovery-' Finn started

'Recovery? I'll be right as rain by next week. I just need to relax and take it easy for a few days, then I'll be back on my feet' Rachel said, perkily. Finn nodded and got to his feet.

'I can't do this right now... When you're better and when I can trust you again, we'll get back together, but right now... You need to be on your own and realize just how much you've hurt the people who love you most' Finn said, his voice strong and confident.

'Finn!' gasped Rachel

'I'm sorry' he whispered, before he grabbed his keys and his shoes and rushed from the house, ignoring Rachel's scream of his name. He flung himself into his car and drove off, not stopping until he got home. He squealed to a stop, as he turned off the ignition and let the tears fall down his face, his body shaking with tears...

Finn was woken by urgent banging on his bedroom door. He groaned and his face felt stiff, as he had cried himself to sleep. He got out of bed, his clothes crinkled and swung open his door, to be greeted by Kurt, ho looked panicked.

'You need to get Rachel's!' he said. Finn grabbed his keys and shoes, heading downstairs and to his car. Kurt just had time to shut the door before Finn drove off, in a blind panic. He pulled up outside of Rachel's, seeing his Mom and Burt, Rachel and her Dads.

'What the hells going on?' he shouted, over Rachel's screams at her Dad. Rachel's screams stopped and she turned to Finn, rushing over to him. He held her at arms length, wanting her to explain.

'Someone here has checked me into treatment!' Rachel cried. Finn froze and his eyes snapped to LeRoy, with questioning eyes. LeRoy nodded as he knew the question.

'Wh-Where abouts?' Finn questioned

'In Maumee! Alcohol and Drugs Treatment Centre!' Rachel sobbed. Finn, finally, allowed Rachel to fall into his arms, his arms wrapping round her tightly. Finn closed his eyes and buried his head into her hair as he let the tears fall, both of their bodies shaking with cries. Kurt, Carole, Burt, LeRoy and Hiram watched as the two teenagers cried together. Finn got himself under control and lifted his head, before bringing Rachel head up to lock their eyes.

'Rach... Its okay, it's going to be okay... I promise you! I promise' Finn said. Rachel broke their gaze and her forehead fell onto Finn's chest.

'I'm scared!' she cried, the tears coming quick and fast. Finn blinked back the tears and cupped her face, bringing her gaze up to meet him.

'I know you're scared, baby! But I promise... If you do this, go to treatment... Everything will be okay in the end. You'll come here so much stronger than you are now...' Finn told her, stroking her face with his thumbs. Rachel sniffled and let out a deep breath.

'Will you be there for me? Every step of the way? I can't do this without you, Finn!' Rachel whispered

'You don't have to... I'm going to be there for you'

'But not the way I want you to be' Rachel said, the emotion in her voice thick. Finn closed his eyes and let his ears.

'I was stupid. I thought that I would hold you back, that you wouldn't get better properly if I was with you... But I was wrong, and I'm sorry, baby! I'm so sorry!' Finn apologized.

'Promise me you'll be waiting for me! I need you to promise me that, Finn!' Rachel said, her hands clasped together at the back of his neck, their forehead together.

'I promise' Finn said. Rachel nodded and let out a sigh of relief, before her eyes flickered to his.

'Kiss me' she murmured. Finn complied with her request and their lips met in a gentle, yet deep and passionate kiss. They boke apart when they needed breath, resting their foreheads together.

'Come on, Rachel! It'll be okay' said Hiram, clasping his daughters shoulder. Finn could see the fear in Rachel's eyes and kissed her again quickly.

'It's okay! It's okay!' he whispered to her. Finn watched her as LeRoy and Hiram guided her into the taxi, both sitting on either side of her as Burt loaded Rachel's bags into the boot of the taxi. Rachel turned round in her seat and stared at Finn, as the taxi set off. Their eyes locked until Rachel was out of sight, as the taxi rounded the corner...
