Finn's POV

She lay there peacefully and broken, her eyes closed reflecting the injuries across her body. My heart broke seeing her like this. Rachel, my soulmate was laying here broken and fighting. Softly I hold her hand, her heart barely a steady beat, but she was still here.

Flashback.

Sitting with my friends I couldn't help but feel happy to have my friends here and singing like we use to do. It's funny though with the happiness I felt now I still wanted her to be here.

"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, and 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. Probably thinking about what Rachel texted him earlier. Grabbing his phone he looked through their text

As they spoke I began to feel confused with curiosity. Once off the phone Kurt turned to the group of our 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. Something wasn't right with Britney; she was becoming anxiety which wasn't helping me with my own. "Britt?"

"I'm scared Sans…It's so dark." Everyone looked nervously at the ditzy former cheerio.

Before Santana could ask anything Mr. Schuster's phone began to ring. I could see that it wasn't good news; I could see he was holding back tears. Once done he hung up the phone and looked at me with all the …."That was your mom Finn…Guys there's been an accident…" I looked at our friends and back at my mentor. "It's Rachel, her and her dads were driving back here and the driver swerved to avoid something and got T-boned by another car running a red light. Her dads aren't doing good…"

I knew there was something he wasn't telling but at this point I didn't care. I needed to know where she was, I needed to know she was okay. How could everyone remain so calm? Sadly I walked out of the room and called my mom. "Mom what's going on?"

I could hear my mom trying to compose herself enough to talk to me. "Oh sweetie you need to get down here now. Rachel isn't doing well. She needs you Finn, Please get down here." She pleaded with tears in her eyes.

"Mom I'm on my way…"

As soon as I hung up the phone I was on my way to her. Looking at her face I couldn't help but cry her skin was pale and bruised up. "Rachel I need you to come back to me." I kissed her forehead holding her hand closely in mine.

Hearing the knock broke me out of my daze. "Hey Finn." Looking up I saw my best friend and my ex girlfriend standing in the door. "Any change?" Quinn asked sitting down next to me.

I could only hold my head in defeat. It had been three days since the accident and she still hadn't woken up. "No, they said they had no choice to purposely put her in a coma. She had a lot of brain swelling. Have you guys seen her dads yet?" I could tell something wasn't right when Puck sat down next to me. "What?"

Puck looked down and away. "LeRoy isn't in a good condition, he suffered a heart attack when he was admitted to the hospital, and not only that he's bleeding head to stomach internally. Hiram broke his ribs and a concussion. " Puck looked at me with sadness "Your mom said you should probably get some rest and out of the hospital."

My eyes quickly moved back to the sleeping angel. "You know the doctor says she may not remember us. He said that could be the worst case but still it's a possibility. I don't want to be away from her in case she wakes up. I'll sleep when she wakes up."

Third person's POV

Quinn's heart broke watching her former rival in this condition. She couldn't help but remember when Rachel would come visit her in hospital after her own accident. The worst part was watching Finn hurting so badly. Rachel wasn't the popular girl but she never gave up on the dream of being some kind of star someday. Rachel achieved it but in the end she didn't get to have the one thing she needed and wanted, the love Finn and her shared.

Looking down at Finn's hands and smiled. "Come here." She took his in hers and pulled him and Puck to the waiting room smiling softly.

You're not alone
Together we stand
I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand
Puck smiled out at their friends, who were standing in the waiting room with the old pianist from high school.

When it gets cold
And it feels like the end
There's no place to go
You know I won't give in
No I won't give in
Smiling everyone moved over to a tearful Finn. Guilt traveling around each New direction member, they all knew it was going to be touch and go but they had to be strong for Finn.
Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you

Quinn held onto Finn's hand as each friend walked closer while they continued to sing. Sam wrapped his arms around Mercedes while Kurt leaned against Blaine's shoulder. Tears dripping across everyone's face. You could easily tell each person was affected by this in different ways.

There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Puck smiled remembering each moment Finn protected him from the dangers of Iraq and how much he'd give anything to take away his best friends pain.
So far away
I wish you were here
Before it's too late, this could all disappear

Sam softly patted his former teammate's back. He was going to be here every step of the way, no matter what happens to Rachel or the Berries; he would stand by as long as he was needed.
Before the doors close
And it comes to an end
With you by my side I will fight and defend
I'll fight and defend
Yeah, yeah

Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

It was as if a weight was being lifted off of Finn's back knowing his friends would be there every step of the way. Holding each of the people that he spent four years getting to know. It was as if they were giving him the strength to deal with anything that could happen.

Hear me when I say, when I say I believe
Nothing's gonna change, nothing's gonna change destiny
Whatever's meant to be will work out perfectly
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

La da da da
La da da da
La da da da da da da da da

Taking each other's hands they walked to Rachel's room and closed their eyes. Each of them saying a silent prayer for the girl who meant so much to them in their own different ways. It was painful to even be thinking about even losing her.

There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

Quinn looked down at Rachel then back at Finn. "No matter what, either good or bad, we will be here to hold onto you Finn. We will not leave you alone." She squeezed his hand tightly. Quinn looked back at their friends "We're all going to stay here till she wakes up. Taking turns every couple of hours, for now you need to sleep and go home. Puck will take the first watch."

Finn took his hand and brushed it against his soul mate's cheek nervously. "I'll switch with him after I go home and shower and take a small nap. I have to be here if she wakes up." With one final kiss Finn reluctantly walked out the door with everyone except for Puck and Quinn.

When they were finally alone Quinn began to break down in tears. She was trying to be strong for Finn. Knowing it was hard enough for him so much that he needed someone to keep a level head for him. "Noah what are we going to do?"

Puck smiled softly taking his fiancé's hand pulling her next to him and Rachel. "We're going to get through this; Rachel is a fighter and a strong one at that. She'll get through this and so will Finn. We just have to keep praying she'll awake soon, if not for all of us but for her dads and Finn."

Two days later

LeRoy had taken a turn for the worst, he was barely able to breathe alone and his brain was beginning to swell. Today it was Santana and Britney's time to watch Rachel until Finn was done with his afternoon routine. Santana began to think back to the day before the accident, she and Rachel were talking about Finn and her thoughts about going back to New York.

Santana had decided to spend Christmas eve like she had for the last five years, it seemed that she wasn't the only one. "Rachel..." Smiling the brunette turned to see her former friend. Santana couldn't help but smile when she saw Rachel at the ceremonial tree in their town square. Every year Kurt, Rachel, Britney and Santana would go to Central park and remise of the year they had been having and set goals for the following years. "Guessing you had the same idea I had."

Rachel walked over to where Santana was standing and waiting. "It's one of my favorite traditions though I wasn't sure if you all were busy, so I figured I'd go and walk here." As she looked up at the bright lights Santana could tell something was bothering her, but like usual she was hiding it. "I talked to my dads; I'm going to postpone my trip back to New York. I think it's time we all spent more time with our families. I know at least for me I've been neglecting my own; Are you and Britney staying here or coming back when I go?"

Santana had been avoiding the subject, Britney had been missing her cat and mom. Santana had been missing the simple life of what they had here with their friends. "Honestly, we've talked about both options. I think we should all come back. Tina and Mike are moving a state over but still staying close, Quinn and Puck, Artie, Finn…our families, possibly Kurt and Blaine, maybe it's time to come back to the start. Maybe Rach, it's time for you to come home."

Running her hands through her hair Rachel knew she didn't want to be alone, but was she really ready for her epic return to Lima. "Santana, I don't know yet I still have Phantom of the Opera to consider."

"I just think you're hiding again, I think you need to talk to Finn and find out where you guys stand. He loves you more than himself Rach. You always said if you ever had a chance to fix what you two once had you would. You are beinging given a chance now we need you guys to finally realize what you guys had and be with each other again." Santana knew how bad they both wanted each other but until Rachel wanted to do something about it nothing would progress. Finn didn't want to push and Rachel was too scared to take the chance again. "Come over to Quinn's tomorrow were having our old gang together for Christmas dinner, why don't you and our dads come and visit."

"We'll see…"

The last conversation had been replaying in her head for the last two days. "Brit, can I have a second with Rachel?" Nodding Britney kissed Santana's cheek then walked out into the waiting room. "Why did you have to be the one sitting here? If you would've been with us, you would've been safe and opening gifts with us. Please wake up! Please, Finn and all of us need you. "

"She probably can hear you; she should be waking up sometime today or even maybe early tomorrow." Santana turned to see the former teacher and the heart of their little family. "The doctor though tells me as of right now I'm Rachel's guardian and I've been put in charge of the family until Rachel wakes up." Only the parents of the New Directions knew that each of them put him in charge if anything would happen to their children and something were to happen to them to where they couldn't make the decision it would be up to Will. "Santana, I know this is hard, but we have to hang onto hope strength that things will get better and we'll get through this. I know she will. "

Rachel's POV

I could hear the words out of everyone's voices, I wanted to say something anything at this point. My voice was mute, my body was numb and my eyes unable to open, but I could hear them, I could take in the words they spoke, the feelings they felt and the sadness that was consuming them. As I slept, I could feel him close, I could feel Finn. "Rachel I need you to open your eyes please, I need you to wake up please." My heart broke hearing his voice. I vegily registered the song but could easily tell it was bringing sadness to his voice.

It's just another night
And I'm staring at the moon
I saw a shooting star
And thought of you
I sang a lullaby
By the waterside and knew

I looked up at him from my bed, obviously I wasn't really awake but it was nice to see his face when I didn't think I could ever again.
If you were here,
I'd sing to you
You're on the other side
As the skyline splits in two
I'm miles away from seeing you
I can see the stars
From America
I wonder, do you see them, too?

"Baby girl you need to wake up…" I looked around and I was standing outside my own body and staring out to Finn who was singing to me. Looking around I saw my dad LeRoy on the other side staring at me. "I'm trying to stay alive long enough to know you're okay but I can't hold on much longer."

Tears seep through my sad eyes. "Daddy don't go. I'll wake up if you promise me you will…I can't survive if something happens to you."

Shaking his head my dad walks over and takes my hand in his nervously. "Sweet heart Finn has you now. Dad and I will be okay." He turns me around to see my dad Hiram in his own room. "Sweet Sweet Girl, it's time to say goodbye to me, but daddy Hiram will be okay, but you have to wake up. No more sleeping."

So open your eyes and see
The way our horizons meet
And all of the lights will lead
Into the night with me
And I know these scars will bleed
But both of our hearts believe
All of these stars will guide us home

I start to blink and he's no longer there, the only thing left is Finn and I. "He's CRASHING!" I hear the nurses scream. Running I finally get to my dad's room. I see him behind the nurses. "Daddy..."A whisper came out of my mouth pleading but I knew it wasn't going to make a difference.

"You have to be strong, for daddy and for you baby girl. It'll be okay, I promise Rach. I love you." His heart goes flat and he's gone.

I can hear your heart
On the radio beat
They're playing 'Chasing Cars'
And I thought of us
Back to the time,
You were lying next to me
I looked across and fell in love
So I took your hand
Back through lamp lit streets I knew
Everything led back to you
So can you see the stars?
Over Amsterdam
You're the song my heart is
Beating to

Returning back to my room I hear his voice calling to me. I hear it pleading with me. I knew he didn't know my dad was gone, "Finn, LeRoy is gone…" Shaking his head he kept singing to me. I knew he was scared I was next; I knew it was hard, but Finn continued to sing and hold my hand closely.

Third person POV.

As the song started to come to an end Finn could see Rachel's eyes start to water. 'come on Rachel open your eyes for me.' He thought to himself as he finished the last chord.

And, oh, I know
And oh, I know, oh
I can see the stars
From America

Tears swelled from his eyes when he opened his eyes and saw Rachel staring back at him. "Rachel!"

Okay i couldnt hold back with the tears. RIP LeRoy! What did you guys think! Please read and Review I love hearing from you guys! makes me quickly write!
