Previously on The spark
It was another dream…Looking around he was alone on stage, shaking his head softly he began to end the song as he fought back the tears. The lips he hoped to be kissing were no longer there, they were a hopeful dream that wouldn't be a reality endless he did something about it.
Would it make you,
make you wanna stay?
"NO!" Everyone's eyes went back to Finn.
"Finn what?" Burt stood up and walked over to Finn, concern plagued his voice, everyone was starting to worry about the way Finn had been acting, but they never really had to deal with it first hand, "Son talk to us…"
Quickly Finn shook his head grabbing his phone he ran out the door. Being around everyone was stressing him out. He didn't have a real way of dealing with his thoughts if everyone was staring at him and questioning his body language. Running his hand through his short hair. Taking his phone out he dialed a number and closed his eyes. *Can you meet me at the school? I need to talk to someone…* Pressing send he began his journey to the school on the snowy Christmas.
Finn's POV
Walking into the old school I could easily hear music coming through the PA system, taking a breathe I let my voice carry me through the old school. (Jason Mraz I won't Give up)
When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Well there's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?
Sitting in the old choir room brought back so many memories. When we were here it was as if nothing could touch us. Yes we were the Losers of the school, but in some twisted way we were a family.
I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
Running my hands through my hair I could clearly see Rachel and I holding each other and smiling with our friends. Within seconds I could feel the regret of my choice to let her go surround me as the song continued to play in my head.
And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find
Why did I do it why give up on the girl I've loved for so long. Then again I don't think I ever fully gave up on us. Even as the time progressed through the last five years, she had always been constantly in my head and holding my heart. But in a way did she give up on me?
'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up
The lines so clearly for us, I always told her I couldn't just walk away from us. We were Endgame, forever and always faithfully. Even as I sit here the song hitting as closely as I sang my heart out, trying to figure out things before they came for me. Before life could proceed I wanted to get these feelings out and into the universe.
I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use the tools and gifts
We got yeah we got a lot at stake
And in the end,
You're still my friend at least we didn't tend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn, how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I got, and what I'm not
And who I am
I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
I'm still looking up
No I couldn't think of giving up now, we are so close to the finish line of our lives. We owe it to give it a shot…Right?
I won't give up on us
God knows I'm tough, he knows
We got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
Rachel Berry was it for me. Even when she was with Jessie or Puck or even Brody she has always been mine; Heart, soul and whole body mine, and there was no way I was giving up without a fight.
I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up...
"You called?" Turning I saw our dad like teacher. "I can honestly say I've missed seeing you here on stage."
"I can honestly say I've missed being here, but it's nice to be here again." I looked around the empty room surrounded by the old pictures. "You know I never thought I'd see her or this room again. I counted my blessings each day I opened my eyes, every time I saw Puck I knew I had to keep going, never give up."Leaning against the chair I looked up at Mr. Schuster, every time I would talk to him I always found a clear idea of how I could proceed in life.
Slowly he leaned against the old white bored probably trying to figure out how to tell me how stupid I was being. "We all are proud of you Finn, we love you and Puck more than some of us care to really admit, but something you need to realize you can't just expect things to be normal again. I know how you feel; Rachel is right there and here in the flesh but you can't expect her to forgive you."
"I never asked her to," Though I did hope it would be easier, "What em I going to do Mr. Schue? We haven't spoken since I got home; she avoids my calls and keeps ignoring my messages on Facebook." The unopened 60 messages on facebook were the clear sign that she wasn't quite ready to talk to me. No matter what I felt for her or needed to say, she wasn't going to answer me it felt like.
"Finn, it's going to take time, persistence and real love to get through to her. I mean she loves you more than anything but like Hiram has said it is going to take time to get through this but I know you two will finally see the light that is needed. Don't stop believing, you guys taught me that years ago, and you both need to remember that now more than ever." He was right and then again when he wasn't, I knew it, everyone else did too, and Mr. Schue was our leader more than I could ever be for my friends.
"Thanks Mr. Schue, I just…I needed you." Smiling I wrapped my arms around my former teacher and knew at that very moment things were going to be okay. I knew in that moment that I needed to talk to Rachel now…
Rachel's Pov
"Darling why don't we go visit your cousin Brittany, I'm sure you two could catch up…She and Justin are in town." Maybe Daddy LeRoy was right. Maybe I just needed to vent out some frustrations to someone who an outsider was looking in. Maybe that would make me see what I needed to do in the next step of this situation.
Looking out the window as my dads chatted I wondered what my friends could be doing this snowy Christmas morning. "Daddy, after this do you think we could go visit Quinn and the girls?"
My dad had the biggest smile "of course darling." Leaning back I couldn't help but put other thoughts out of my mind and focus on the future that I wanted more than anything…
Three Hours later…
"Rachel dear, time to go," Wrapping my arms around Brittany I finally knew what I was going to do. I knew it was time to talk to Finn, get it out in the open, and lay it all on him before it was too late.
"Call me if you need me cousin, I'll be in town a few more days before we go back to Utah." Brittany held me tightly then went to stand by her fiancé. "I hope things work out with Finn, I've always liked him." Nodding she chased after her dads. "Uncle Le, are you guys okay to drive?" Nodding at his niece he got into the car and drove off towards my friend's house.
During the drive I fell asleep dreaming of life here in Lima.
Dream…
I was laying in a big bed, it felt familiar to me. "Rachel get up! Daddy is trying to cook breakfast and he almost burnt down the house again." A little girl who looked like me when I was a child. What was this? This wasn't possible. Smiling the little girl took my hand and slowly I got up. Walking down the hall I was stund to see Finn standing in what looked like our kitchen. "See daddy I told you I was going to tell momma…"
"Jasmine Elizabeth! Momma needs to rest so she can make sure Cory grows big and strong." Cory? Looking down I notice what he meant when he said Cory…My stomach was huge! Weirdly I could feel the baby moving inside of me. "How are you feeling My sweet love?" Finn asked putting their daughter in the chair.
"Daze and confused, Whats going on?" I look around so very confused. When did this happen? How could this had happen?
"sweetie you might want to rest…Pregnancy Brain and all."
When I opened my eyes again I was sitting in my car with my dads. Shaking my head my mind was now confused even more. Maybe it was time to give up on Broadway and focus on a real life and settling down, maybe even with Finn..
Third person POV (Warning, Intense scene soon)
Quinn looked at her phone. "Hey guys why don't we start setting up, Rachel and her dads decided to join all of us." Truthfully Quinn was actually excited for Rachel to come, especially since Finn and Kurt were bringing their parents as well as Mr. and Mrs. Schuster were going to come and stay for dessert and all.
Quinn begins to sing one of her favorite songs. (Home/Homeward Bound) She couldn't help but remember singing this years ago standing in the auditorium before Finn and Puck left.
I'm sitting in a railway station
Got a ticket for my destination
Oh, oh
Puck walked in the room handing the plate to Quinn smiling as he began to sing where she left off.
On a tour of one-night stands
My suitcase and guitar in hand
(And every stop is neatly planned)
(For a poet and a one-man band)
As the door rings Santana starts to hum as Mike and Tina walk in. (Mike (and Santana):
This wave (Santana: Wave)
Is stringing us along (Santana: Along)
(Just know you're not alone)
'Cause I'm gonna make this place your home
As they continue to hum Mercedes and Sam come in as Santana continues to sing with the music surrounding them.
Everyday's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines
Oh, oh
Smiling Mercedes joins in with her best friend/sister as the memories began to flow back to both of them.
And each town looks the same to me
The movies and the factories
And every stranger's face I see
Reminds me that I long to be
Finn laughs as him and his small family walk in. He always loved coming into a home full of music. Especially when it involved his old friends.
(Mercedes: Oh) The trouble, it might drag you down
Finn smiled wrapping his arms around the now neutral friend Santana as they began the next part of the song. It was finally nice to be on good terms with the spicy Latin cheerio.
If you get lost, you can always be found
Just know you're not alone (Mercedes: Know you're not alone)
This was home, this was they're home with their friends. Quinn noticed it more and more as they sang again together, Puck and these people were her family and she'd do anything to keep them the way they were.
'Cause I'm going to make this place your home
Alumni:
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah (Santana: Where my thought's escaping)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, (Mercedes: Where my music's playing)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah (Mercedes: Oh, oh)
As they continued to sing they gathered around the table holding each other's hand singing along with the music in the background. It was if the circle had been half way complete. Yes they didn't have Rachel but they had this moment now, this moment where nothing mattered but their voices and the love each of them shared for one another.
Mercedes:
I'm gonna make, I'm gonna make
Make this place our home
"If we wouldve preformed this song the first time, we could've placed higher at Nations in New York…Though it wouldn't be a complete team without Rachel's power house vocals." Mr. Schue smiled softly seeing his old glee club together under one roof. "Speaking of Rach, where is she?" he asked rocking his now year old son in his arms.
Quinn leaned up against her future husband smiling. "She said they shouldn't be long; They were visiting some family." Quinn had everyone follow her into the huge dining room. "So I figured we could starting eating and when Rachel, Carol and her dads got here we could have dessert and stuff…" We smiles all around they began to eat..
Two Hours Later…
"Okay this is weird, Rachel should be here by now…" Kurt was beginning to worry. He knew his best friend wouldn't say she was coming and not show up, "Guys something isn't right, Rachel doesn't do this, I'm worried."
Santana looked out the window and noticed the snow was falling down a bit more than before, "Maybe they're stuck, I mean Carol isn't even here yet."
Finn shook his head, "Yeah but my mom had to do a bunch of stuff, besides that I talked to her like twenty minutes ago." The lonely quarterback looked at the clock then back at his brother. "What family member did they go see?"
Kurt closed his eyes trying to think back, "I think one of her cousins…Um..Brie? No.." He continued to think. What had Rachel texted him earlier. Grabbing his phone he looked through their text messages. "Brittany, Its her cousin Brittany…Hold on."
Dialing the number Rachel's couisn answered quickly. "Hello?" she asked unsure of the number on her phone.
"Hi I'm Rachel's best friend…"
Brittany smiled before he finished "Kurt, Yeah I know you. Whats up?"
"How long ago did the berries leave your house?"
"I think Two hours ago, they had somewhere to be, why?" Why did it matter where she was, then again why were they calling her. "Did you try phoning her?"
Kurt nodded. "Yeah she isnt answering…"
As they spoke Finn was becoming confused with curiousity. Once off the phone Kurt turned to the group of old friends "Brittany said they had to stop somewhere before they were coming here. We think they may have had to stop driving due to the storm that is causing all this snow.."
Britney held her stomach and began to cry. "Britt what's wrong?" Santana asked rushing over to her wife. Britney knew something was off, Something wasn't right. "Britt?"
"I'm scared Sans…It's so dark." Everyone looked nervously at the ditzy former cherrio.
Before Santana could ask anything Mr. Schuster's phone began to ring.. Answering it his heart began to beat quickly out of his chest. Once done he hung up the phone and looked at his former students…."That was your mom Finn…Guys there's been an accident…"
