The weekend after, Kurt had returned to Lima with Santana, so she had New York to herself. Only in the loft, Rachel took the opportunity to do whatever it was impossible to do when you live three under one roof. Like, taking his breakfast on the coffee table and will rid the evening after a pajama day. Crossing the apartment naked after a shower, and languishing at her wardrobe in underwear choosing his evening dress. Drink from the bottle of milk leaving the refrigerator door open ... All these silly things without hearing the taunts of Santana and Kurt's screams.

She liked living with his friends, but sometimes they didn't facilitate his life. But it helped keep feet on Earth. The reputation was quickly arrived with the success of Funny Girl, and the fact that Kurt and Santana are paid little attention made her feel, normal. Kurt still gave his opinion on her outfits, despite having now a team dedicated to this. She always paid attention to his remarks because she knew Kurt really knew. When Santana, and although it was she who had remained herself. If she had something to say to Rachel, and well she did. No matter if her friend was one of the invited magazines or on the radio. To be called, Littles' or Jewish Princess reminded him that nothing was gained.

This state her third waking alone in the loft. The calm of the early days was relaxing but this morning the silence left in the loft weighing a rather empty. His mind, driven from any staging, choreography, and professional appointments, inevitably had gone to Finn Hudson. She had fallen asleep thinking of the fact that his friends would all gather for Christmas in Lima and would have liked to spent the holiday with them. She didn't bother to tell them she wasn't coming and had wondered if his presence would miss them. Finn had looked disappointed when she learned that she remained in New York for the holidays. Why ? Why he expected to see, so they were not seen for ten months? And why before hanging up he said, "break a leg" ? These words ... this time it was said, were not innocuous ! What He wanted ? What was he looking in saying this ?

She rose with the head full of questions. The same questions that had, according to her, ruined her last performance on stage. She had not had the head and hated what she was doing on stage without being two hundred percent. She wanted so enjoy these vacations to empty the mind ... but it was hardly lost. Because as soon as she wasn't thinking about the scene or professional commitments, and although she thought of him.

By late morning, she had an appointment with his manager to plan with him some glimpses with magazines before the big season red carpet. She was looking for a good ten minutes every outfit she would wear. She wanted to tell him something he "doesn't take my head off, I'm on vacation !". But standing in front of her closet, all she wanted was that Kurt was there and decide for her. Out of spite, she opted for a black jeans with a white blouse and a black wool jacket. She tied her hair with a rubber band by making a tousled bun and went into the bathroom to spend some gloss on her lips.

She heard the home she waited through the door of the loft.

" Rachel ? "

When she came out of the bathroom her heart stopped.

Finn.

A heartbeat, a second, and it was gone.

" Rachel ? Are you okay ? "

Jesse. Jesse St James stood before her. No wonder, since he was the one she expected.

" Yes… "

" It seems not, you've become all white ..."

What did he just happened? She could have sworn that for a second she had seen Finn, just before it.

" Do you want to stay here ? "

" What ? "

She was really struggling to get back to reality.

" You are not really right..."

Rachel took a deep breath. That's it, it derailed. By dint of thinking about Finn in recent days, his mind was really starting to play tricks on him. She knew. If there was a good way to stop thinking about Finn, had to work well.

" No, no, it's fine. I prefer going out… "

She grabbed her red wool coat and left the loft under the confused look of Jesse.
