I do not own Glee!
Rachel walked into Glee club nervously. Luckily, Finn wasn't there yet. She hadn't talked to Finn since last night and she felt guilty for it. She owed him an explanation for their break up, but she was going to give it to him today. The brunette looked around the room, looking for a friend. Her eyes caught Blaine's and she ran to the seat next to his and sat down.
"I'm nervous." She admitted to her best friend.
"Don't be. The song Kurt picked is perfect and I think it will finally give you and Finn the closure you need to move on." Blaine said confidently. "Besides, anything you sing sounds like a dream so there is no reason to be nervous." He added. She smiled and wrapped her arms around him into a hug.
"Thank you." She whispered into his ear. "I love you so much in a strictly platonic way." She said jokingly.
"I love you too." He said while unwrapping his arms around her. Everyone began to make their way into the choir room slowly. Kurt sat down on Blaine's other side and gave Rachel a soft smile.
Finn walked into the room last and sat down as far away from Rachel as possible. She could tell he was upset. Not angry, but hurt and sad. She felt the same way last night.
Mr. Schuester walked into the room after Finn.
"Alright guys, Regionals are coming up soon and we need to start writing our songs." The curly hair man stated. Rachel raised her hand before the teacher pointed to her. "Yes Rachel?"
"I would like to perform a song today." She declared. Everyone- not including Finn, Kurt, or Blaine- groaned. "It's not an audition piece for Regionals." She added. Everyone's eyes widened and wondered why Rachel would want to sing.
"Sure Rachel, go ahead." Will said before sitting down in a seat next to Tina. Rachel stood up and took her place in front of her classmates. Kurt saw the nervous look on her face and mouthed good luck to the diva. She smiled and began speaking.
"Last night, Finn and I broke up. When we did, I felt empty and distraught that we weren't going to end up together." Rachel began. No one said anything. They could see that Rachel was in a lot of pain and no one- not even Santana- wanted to make it worse. Rachel took another deep breath and looked Finn straight in the eye before continuing. "But after a few hours, I began to realize that us breaking up was for the best. Our lives are on different paths. And even if we love each other, it's not always enough to make a relationship work." Rachel said while tears began to form in her eyes. "I would like to dedicate this song to you Finn. It pretty much says everything." She finished and the music began to play.
Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories, they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye
Even with our fists held high
It never would have worked out right, yeah
We were never meant for do or die
I didn't want us to burn out
I didn't come here to hurt you now I can't stop
Rachel winced at this line and felt even guiltier. She knew she was hurting Finn, but this was for the best.
I want you to know
That it doesn't matter
Where we take this road
But someone's gotta go
And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone
Looking at you makes it harder
But I know that you'll find another
That doesn't always make you wanna cry
It started with the perfect kiss then
We could feel the poison set in
"Perfect" couldn't keep this love alive
You know that I love you so
I love you enough to let you go
Finn and Rachel smiled at that part, remembering their kiss at Nationals. It really was the perfect kiss.
I want you to know
That it doesn't matter
Where we take this road
But someone's gotta go
And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone
You can't make it feel right
When you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on
So I'm already gone
Ah already gone, already gone, already gone
Ah already gone, already gone, already gone
Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories, they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye
I want you to know
That it doesn't matter
Where we take this road
But someone's gotta go
And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone
You can't make it feel right
When you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on
So I'm already gone
Everyone clapped at the end. Finn stood up and walked towards Rachel. He stood in front of her for a few seconds, just looking at her. Unexpectedly, he pulled her into a tight embrace. Rachel hugged him back and began crying into his shoulder. Finn pulled her as close as possible before whispering into her ear.
"I will always love you."
"I will always love you too." She replied softly, still crying.
Author's Note! Sad isn't it? I love Finchel! This may be the end of the story, but if anyone wants me to continue let me know. Maybe a future fic? Review!
