But He's Not Tom Sawyer

by gleefullyannonymous

Rachel and Finn are in for a huge surprise when they start having an annonymous relationship via chat room. AU. {Taking this directly out of a Twitter RP a couple months ago, with some slight modifications. So, I guess I should give credit to @FinHudsons on twitter. The RP was great. I hope you don't mind that I'm using it!}

3. The Reasons

Sorry for such a short chapter. I promise the next one will be longer. :) Thank you to all who have been reading and reviewing my work. It honestly means the world to me.

The next few weeks flew by, and Finn was so busy with football and other extracurricular activities that he hadn't had the chance to even speak to his mysterious girl since that night in the theatre. He had just walked into his room, and after throwing his gym bag onto the floor, he sat on his chair and opened up his laptop, not bothering to check his Facebook like he usually did before signing into the chatroom.

Rachel was already online, looking over some sheet music for an upcoming play she was auditioning for. She saw that "Quarterback" had logged on and turned her attention to her computer. Feeling guilty about leaving her hanging for so long, Finn opened a chatroom.

QUARTERBACK: Hey.

A couple of minutes went by, and there was no answer. Rachel didn't know what to say, really. She missed him a lot, but wasn't sure of how to approach his returning after such a long absence. Finally, she answered:

ALOSTSTAR: You haven't been on in a while.

QUARTERBACK: Yeah, I know. I've been really busy lately.

Stupid excuse.

ALOSTSTAR: Well, I'm glad you're back.

QUARTERBACK: Are you mad?

ALOSTSTAR: I don't know; should I be?

QUARTERBACK: You have every reason to be.

ALOSTSTAR: Let's count them, shall we?

QUARTERBACK: …

ALOSTSTAR: Well, you told me you wanted to meet me, so we did.

ALOSTSTAR: Then you forgot protection, which was a stupid move, considering the reason we were there in the first place.

ALOSTSTAR: You told me you'd be back a month ago, and you haven't logged on until now

ALOSTSTAR: So yeah, I'm a little mad.

QUARTERBACK: I don't know what to say.

ALOSTSTAR: You could start with an apology.

QUARTERBACK: Okay; I'm sorry.

ALOSTSTAR: For what?

QUARTERBACK: Treating you the way I did. It was a really dick move of me and you deserve much better.

ALOSTSTAR: I agree.

QUARTERBACK: So are we good?

ALOSTSTAR: I'll get back to you on that. I would say tomorrow, but I don't want to end up taking a month and leave you hanging.

ALOSTSTAR: Goodbye, Tom. :)

AlostStar has signed off.

QUARTERBACK: Damn.
