Rachel and Finn were having issues. If it wasn't where they were going after high school it was something else. This week it was that she felt distanced from him, like Finn didn't really love her. She tries to silence the voice in the back of her mind that keeps telling her that she only feels that why because of how jesse had treated her, knowing it was only for a couple of hours. Knowing he only had her in his arms for a little longer. Finn had her and he never did sweet little nothings for her, like just keeping his arm around her, or even stroking her cheek. He wasn't romantic, he was rather clumsy. But she loves him.
Will watches his students singing Whitney Houston's how will I know. He knew Rachel, Mercedes and Kurt had always liked Whitney's music but he wasn't expecting them to take her death so hard. He asked his fiancée about it, maybe it's a girl thing. Emma softly explains to him that maybe it's because they grew up with Whitney, she was their childhood. And when she passed it seems like everything is coming too fast, high school's ending, college is coming up , just everything. He sighs, and his fiancée does what she knows best, she hands him a pamphlet.
Rachel doesn't know what exactly to tell Kurt. That cheating isn't ok? It would make her a huge hypocrite. After her short but large affair with Jesse. His jaunt with texting another boy seems like child play. So, she decides to lie. "Kurt, you shouldn't let this other boy ruin what you have with Blaine, I mean just because he doesn't voice his feelings doesn't mean that he doesn't love you anymore. Maybe you two should go to Miss Pillsbury" she suggests. Kurt rolls his eyes at the suggestion. "I'm not even cheating on him!" he exclaims, bothered by people thinking he's cheating. "Would you show Blaine the texts?" she asks him, "No, why would i?" he questions her, she tilts her head. "Then maybe it isn't so innocent"
"And what would you know about innocent?" he asks her, getting irritated. "What is that supposed to mean Kurt?" she questions him, eyebrows raised. He sighs loudly. "I'm sorry, I'm just really angry" he tells her, her expression softens. "It's ok Kurt; I know you'll do what's right"
She's enters her home to find a note left on the coffee table. Her dads went out of town. She drops her bag to the ground and lays herself over the couch. She was nervous Kurt had seen her and Jesse and knew about her affair. Thank god he didn't. She would have no cover up for that. She's so confused, her future with Finn is still foggy, her nyada audition is coming up, and now she has to deal with her newly unresolved feelings for Jesse. She grabs a pillow, and screams into it.
What is she supposed to do? Ignore her feelings for Jesse and marry Finn? It could work, sure she might grow old and bitter but not for a while any way. Maybe she could throw herself into their relationship and cover up her other feelings. Yes, it could work, very well could. She knows bottling up feelings isn't good but, it's the best option. She sighs, letting out a pent up breath. Everything will be fine.
"I love you Rachel berry" Kurt tells her hugging her by her locker the next day, she smiles at him. "For what?" she asks him, "I took your advice and Blaine and I did couples consulting" he tells her, "how's it go?" she questions him, he smiles. "Wonderful, I think we're stronger than ever" he tells her, "what's stronger?" Blaine asks coming up behind Kurt and wrapping his arm around his shoulders. "How great we are now" he smiles at Blaine, who smiles back, she looks at the boys in front of her wearing those big goofy grins people have when they're with the love of their life. "How about we go make out?" he asks Kurt, whose eyes widen. "How unscheduled of you"
Rachel walks down the hallway with Finn, hand in hand following the music to the auditorium. She opens the door and see's artie and a few other glee clubbers on stage, and other members walking to the stage, she smiles back at Finn and they take off down to the stage, joining Quinn on stage. My love is your love was always one of Rachel's favorite Whitney songs; she smiles as she sings along, doing little twirls on the stage and having fun with her second family.
