Chapter 10: Break from Reality
Having a week off was just what Rachel needed. Finn was right in that her life, decisions, and relationships were totally up to her. After that incident in the choir room, Rachel had barely kept her composure but was able to finish the date with Jesse. Confused as she was, she did not want to hurt Jesse on such an important night like prom. Plus, it was important that her thoughts had time to register.
Ironically, Rachel did not have to choose between Jesse and Finn because Jesse had decided that their relationship thing was taking away from his professional life. Despite being a lot alike, they were like a chemical formula that just didn't have the right formula to be balanced. He was an easy run, but when did she ever take the easy route? It was a relief for her to know that she wouldn't be breaking his heart.
Loving Finn was not a choice for her though. The minute that she had first saw him at their first Glee Club Rehearsal she had fallen completely and utterly in love with him just like the line Bella said in the movie Twilight. They shared many passions, for each other (thank God he finally figured it out), singing, and just wanting to be a part of something special. There was no sugarcoating her feelings for him.
After a week of crying to old movies and getting some rest, Rachel felt more like herself. She needed some time to "veg' out and Mr. Shu and her dads were all for it. For once, Rachel need not be the strong one. Her dads had added to the mini-vacation by totally spoiling her with homemade soup, endless glasses of water, and tons of hugs and kisses. All girls deserve a good spoil once in awhile.
A week was the perfect amount of time for Rachel to get it together and process. Now, all she wanted was to process how she was going to show Finn that she had moves of her own. After all, a person need not to be in sports to make good plays. It was time that Finn got a taste of his own medicine. It would have to be romantic, fun, crazy sexy, and heart felt. She got out her notebook and started working on her very own production.
