Chapter 2: Coffee and New Places.

Class finished painfully slow. After what felt like an eternity, Rachel threw her stuff into her bag, slung it over her shoulder and began to pace out of the room as if a fire had just started to rage through the building. What had just happened? Is she asleep? Too many emotions were floating through Rachel's mind for her to even think clearly. She sat down, feet too heavy to stand. It couldn't possibly be him, it can't, and he's a Surely enough the first time Rachel looked up from the ground, he appear again, standing straight in front of her with a bewildered look upon his face.

"Excuse me, can you erm point out the way to best coffee shop you know? Kinda need some caffeine after that lecture, looks like you do too, you look like you've seen a ghost!" Laughed the mystery man with a smirk, not knowing that Rachel quite possible had, him.

"Yes, coffee would be nice, I actually know the perfect place," Rachel spoke deciding she needed to , know more about him. Maybe she could stop what happens in her dreams.

"Yes, coffee would be nice, I actually know the perfect place," Rachel spoke deciding she needed to know more about him. Maybe she could stop what happens in her dreams.

"I'm Finn, Finn Hudson by the way."

"Rachel Berry."

It was Rachel favorite coffee shop since she moved to New York two years ago. It was simple. It's small with a white and brown theme, very minimalistic, completely different to Rachel's style but the staff was friendly and coffee was delicious and cheap. A college student perfect place to be, well at least for Rachel.

"What you want I'll order?" Finn queried.

"Caffe Latte with soy milk please?" Rachel answered

"Soy milk?" Finn asked wondering why.

"Vegan" Rachel replied being used to the question.

Rachel saw a table in the far right corner, deciding that was the perfect place to sit; Rachel started to stride over to the table not wanting anyone to hear to her and Finn's conversation.

When Finn finally came over with the coffee, he sat down, gave Rachel her coffee and took a sip of his coffee burning his tongue in the process.

"Ahh!" Finn roared while throwing his arms in the air.

Rachel couldn't help but laugh he was too adorable for words.

"What brings you to New York then?" Rachel asked grabbing the opportunity to get some background information on Finn from Finn.

"Like I graduated High School and done nothing! Sat on my butt and one day, I'm like I'm going to do something with my live, you know. I want to make my mom proud. So I thought I am pretty good with music maybe that's the direction I want my life to go with. So that's how I ended up here and why I am sitting here with you across the table. You looked lost, like something wasn't right. Don't get me wrong, I see passion in your eyes, almost an endless fire, which I admire you for that's something I have never had but always wanted. But you still looked lost. I think we're very similar." Finn explained.

Rachel was mad. That was an understatement, who was he to judge her! He had seen what like once? She isn't lost. It's because he was there. Rachel had to keep her cool; after all she could save his life. He looked so sincere while speaking to her. Like an innocent child asking and begging their love. She could just melt into his eyes. If only the dream wouldn't haunt them. There was this fluttering in her stomach which she couldn't explain or shake it off.

"Maybe we can help each other discover our true selves. I'd like to get to know you more."

"I'd like that."

"Looks, like we'll be seeing a lot more of each other!"

Rachel scribbled her number onto a scrap of paper she had in her bag.

"Call me."

With that Rachel left.

Santana picked up Rachel from the café.

"So… you were with a guy in there! Rae-Ray why didn't you tell me?" Santana asked with a mixture of hurt and shock laced in her voice.

"Not any guy San, the guy! The guy who has been haunting my dreams for god knows how long. San, he's in here in New York and I know that he's here so I can save him from the fate in my dream, I know it!" Rachel spoke.

"You're crazy! Rachel this isn't some movie where if you don't do something someone going to die. Rachel this is real life, reality were you go to a musical theatre college because one day you want to own the stage!" Santana said trying to knock some sense into her.

"Fine don't believe me." Rachel spoke coldly.

The rest of the drive was very awkward for both Rachel and Santana. Neither wanting to be the first one to give in and apologize to the other. Fortunately Santana (and now Rachel) didn't live too far away from the coffee shop.

"I'm sorry!" Rachel and Santana spoke at the same time. They both laughed and relieved that both them left as if they had done something to feel sorry for.

Santana and Rachel after taking the apartment elevator, stepped inside the small and cozy apartment, to find round about 10 people already there with a banner that read 'Welcome to your new home!'

"You guys are too sweet!" Rachel was completely overwhelmed by the support she got from her family and friends. She may not have the most but she definitely had the best friends in the world.

There was Blaine, who in Rachel's eye was the best duet partner a girl could ask for. Brittany, well speak to Santana about her! She's the best dancer in the world but not the brightest bulb in the pack. Noah, or Puck as he calls himself, is the brother Rachel never had always looking out for her in every way possible. Quinn, Rachel didn't like Quinn nor does Quinn like Rachel but they both put up with each other because they are in the same circle of friends. Tina who has been Rachel best friend since the tender age of two. Artie who was Rachel rock during all the school musicals which she was a part of the production, he was the first ever student in all of Ohio to direct the school musical. Mercedes who she had met on her first day of college in New York. Finally her two papa's who came all the way from Lima just to settle her in new home, they were the ones who persuaded Rachel that she was good enough to try and achieve her dreams. One way or another they all had come from where they live, some far some from just around the corner, to make her feel welcome in her new place. Rachel had never felt so blessed in life.

The night went smoothly, that was until it came to night time.
