They got into their first real fight in January. Usually Rachel would just deal with whatever bullshit Finn was putting her through because she was scared that if she ever yelled at him, he would just drop her from his life. But what Rachel couldn't tell Finn was how much hanging out with him and just being friends killed her inside. And how badly all she wanted to do was kiss him and tell her how much she loved him. So instead, she told him they couldn't be friends anymore, making sorry excuses it's because he never texts her and he always ditches her. (Those two facts were true, he always had a bad habit of ditching her when they would make plans, and although he was very intelligent, Finn was a terrible texter.) But when he texted her back saying that it killed him that she said that, well Rachel knew that maybe she meant as much to him as he meant to her.
