Rachel's pov
In the last few months there's been a lot of changes. Santana and Britney were living back in Lima, it was more of Britney refused to leave and Santana wasn't going to separate herself from her wife. As the break progressed Artie and Mikayla were in the process of moving to New York since Artie had gotten a role in the Broadway version of Rock of Ages.
Quinn, Puck, Tina and Mike bought houses not to far from our old school; Puck and Mike were going to be helping with the football team at Mckinley, while Tina stayed home with her daughter and Quinn finished out her real estate license. Sam bought Mercedes and himself a small house in Lima that they could stay at when they come to visit Lima. Kurt and Blaine were asked by Finn to stay in New York with me since he couldn't. It was kinda suckish that Finn couldn't stay but Mr. Schuster asked him to run the New directions full time while he was off in Washington. As for my dad, he's dealing with losing my other dad as best as he can. At the moment he was on a cruise to find himself again.
For me, I've been pretty okay, I mean I haven't exactly had much to smile about. It's kinda funny I know usually I would be thrilled about starring in a huge new production of one of my favorite movies Enchanted. Unfortunately it wasn't going to be a very fun experience...
Flashback *one month ago January 11th*
I was at the first rehearsal. I was beyond excited to meet the cast and have the first table read. Waiting on stage I decided to text Finn... *I miss you...*
Smiling it didn't take him long to message back. *I miss you too. I find Lima boring without you. Have you met your cast yet?*
*Not yet, but I'm going to go find one of the rooms were suppose to meet in. Just wanted to text you and tell you I miss you tons. I can't wait for you to come visit.*
*Be there in a few weeks for valentines day. I'll see you soon baby stay safe.* it was hard every second now to be away from Finn. He always seem to make me realize that after I would talk to him.
Walking through the backstage area I couldn't help but smile, it was everything I remembered it was a year ago. "How funny, I didn't think I would see you so soon..." That voice sounded so familiar.
Turning I saw him. Brody. "Didn't know male escorts got paid to be around sets. Is your boss for the night here?" Snarky yes but I really hated him.
"Awe I think I like feisty Rachel. So tell me did you and farmboy make up?" How could he have known about Finn and I? "Cause my bed still could use you if not." Rolling my eyes I avoided his words. He wasn't going to get to me. "Come on Rach. I know you miss me. I've missed you." The words sounded like vile seeping through his lips.
Before I could get a word out I saw the director come from behind Brody. " I'm so happy you agreed to this. We were worried with your recent family emergency you'd decline. I hope you got my flowers."
Ignoring Brody's smirks and looks, I focused on the director "Ms. Pacheco I wouldn't miss this opportunity. Yes I did. Lilies were my dad's favorite." I smiled softly remembering the big bouquet of purple lilies.
She nodded looking between myself and Brody. "So you've met your prince Edward, I thought you two would make such a wonderful couple." She took my hand into his. I couldn't help the feeling of throw up coming up in my mouth. This was why I hated him always thinking he can get away with things.
" I'm actually happily taken by my own personal prince." I couldn't help but smile at the thought of Finn. He always knew how to bring a smile onto my face.
"All that aside we start rehearsal January 14th, table read starts tomorrow at 4." The blond explained ignoring Brody. I was pretty sure he was passed about the Finn comment I made.
End Flashback
Today marked the 4th week of rehearsals and we were practicing one of the dancing scenes and Brody's constant staring was pissing me off. I really didn't know how I was going to put up with this for another few weeks then on top of that having to do this for about 3 months for the show..
Dancing with Brody made me sick, he kept trying to rub my back and touch all over my body. "Will you please just stop. I don't want you, please just keep it professional and leave it be."
Brody looked at me and ran his hand across my cheek. "Don't fight it. I know things were rocky but we worked-"
"No you were trouble-" music surrounded the room as we dances. " Once upon a time a few mistakes ago. I was in your sights, you got me alone. You found me, you found me, you found me-e-e-e." Moving with the music I twirled out of Brody's arms and into one of the other dancers. "I guess you didn't care, and I guess I liked that. And when I fell hard you took a step back." Twirling again I stood in the middle of the circle. "Without me, without me, without me." Brody smirked leaning behind me. The memory playing again when we sung oops I did it again.
I hated him, I really hated him. " And he's long gone. When he's next to me. And I realize, the blame is on me." Smirking he began dancing with one of the directors. I loved how he was acting like I would be jealous.
"Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in, So shame on me now. Flew me to, places I've never been. 'Til you put me down, oh" I couldn't help but remember coming home with Santana and her talking to me about what she had found in his room.
"I knew you were trouble when you walked in, So shame on me now. Flew me to places I've never been. Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground.." I laid down on the floor with the other girls, moving slowly we lifted ourselves up and pointed back at him. The girls behind me were helping me circle the men in the cast. Oh, oh
"Trouble, trouble, trouble" Oh, oh "Trouble, trouble, trouble."
"No apologies, he'll never see you cry." I remembered the tears I once shedded because of him. In my heart I knew he was just a ghost of a man who once used me. "Pretends he doesn't know, that he's the reason why. You're drowning,You're drowning,You're drowning"
All I wanted to do was punch him in his dam face as I danced with another dancer. As we danced around I continued to sing I knew you were Trouble.
It was empowering to make him realize how much I disliked him. The way he used me, the way he pretended to love me. "I heard you moved on from whispers on the street," Hearing the words leave my mouth made me remember when he slept with one of my teachers. It was if I didn't even matter anymore. "A new notch in your belt is all I'll ever be, And now I see,Now I see,Now I see."
Moving closer I circled him glaring into his eyes. "He was long gone when he met me
And I realize the joke is on me, hey!" Moving with him it was like a fighting tango against two enemies. I get the feeling as if we were alone as I repeated the chorus one last time.
Towards the end of the song it felt like Brody and I were fighting in our dance and I was singing just to him the rest of the guys were gone leaving Brody to deal with all us girls. " When the saddest fear, Comes creeping in...That you never loved me... or her or anyone or anything. Yeah!"
I looked at him as all the girls surrounded Brody glaring as we circled him. "I knew you were trouble when you walked in. So shame on me now, flew me to places I'd never been. Till you put me down." As the men came back everyone went back to their original partner. "Oh I knew you were trouble when you walked in. So shame on me now, flew me to places I'd never I'm lying on the cold hard ground"
"I knew you were trouble when you walked in.." the girls in the company began to finish up the song as I pulled away from him.
Trouble, trouble, trouble
"I knew you were trouble when you walked in"
Trouble, trouble,
Looking at him I couldn't help but feel a bit better. "trouble!"
Turning away I walked away and into the backstage area. I was done.
Third person Pov
Valentines Day. Love was in the air. It was the best holiday for all those couples. Finn especially loved that he was spending it with Rachel. Getting off the train he went towards the taxi he had already called. Today was going to be a pretty special day, he was planning on re creating their first New York trip. He wanted to make this the perfect day and night for the two of them. "FINN!" Kurt jumped up and began to wave for his older brother. "Your back.. Rachel is at rehearsal so I decided to pick up my favorite brother."
Finn smiled softly shaking his head. "Last time I checked I was your only brother. I mean Last time I checked I'm your only sibling." Laughing they walked over to Kurt's car. "So how has Rachel been? I mean I've talked to her but I know her she hides some things from me sometimes."
Kurt didn't know what to do about the situation he didn't know if telling him about Brody was the safest thing to do. "You know Rachel, she's just busy as hell. Thankfully a few days are coming up and she has off till the opening next week. Aren't you staying till next week?" He asked getting into the drivers seat.
Nodding Finn stared out the window. He wasn't stupid he knew Kurt was hiding something, he always knew when Kurt was hiding something. He just didn't know how to bring it up. "So where's Blaine?"
"Up at Rachel's rehearsal, he somehow got asked to do the music score. It's so nice, plus he can keep an eye on Rachel and that ass of a guy Brody."
"Whose Brody?" Finn asked curiously, he didn't recognize the name before. He couldn't place the name with a face.
"That isn't MY place to share, but I'm sure a certain Latin woman wouldn't have a problem telling you what happened." Kurt bit his lip then pulled up to their apartment, turning he looked at Finn "Look Brody did some messed up things and Rachel tried to always see the good in him and it just always ended badly for her. She did what you asked Finn, she attempted to move on, it just didn't end up well for any of us."
"Did they you know?" Finn asked but Kurt quickly shook his head as they lunged everything upstairs to the apartment. "Okay good, uh I'm going to give mom a call let her know I made it safe." Moving over to Rachel's room he quickly dialed Santana's number. He didn't know why but he needed to know what happened between Brody and Rachel and if Santana was the only person that would tell him he'd have to suck it up and deal with her. After a few rings Britney answered. "Hey Finny! How's New York?"
Finn smiled hearing his sweet friend's voice fill up his ear. "It's good, just waiting for Rachel to be done with rehearsal, how are you Brit?"
"I'm good, Lord Tubbington Is trying to get pregnant again so I'm excited for the babies to come." Laughing Finn couldn't stop smile at the laid back blond he always knew was smart in her own way.
"Is Santana there? I need to talk to her." Smiling Brit handed the phone over to Santana who had just walked into the room.
"Hey Hudson, did you already screw up and need auntie Tana to pick up the pieces again?" Finn still didn't think he deserved every ounce of hatred Santana was driving towards him, but for Rachel he knew it had to be this way.
"Can you put your hatred aside to help me? Whose Brody?" He asked sitting on the bed. Things were always off when it came to the relationship between Santana and himself, but in the end Santana was usually pretty protective towards the people she cared about and for Finn he admired that about her.
"Someone I hate more than you." Sighing Finn waited for the spiteful former cheerio to finish her thought. "Look he's a bad guy. He was basically a cheating, obsessed, horrible bastard of a boyfriend to Rachel. He decided to keep a secret about himself. He was being paid to have sex with women, hence the cheating bastard I call him. After I told her what was going on with him she and I had words against each other but I had proof, sadly the proof was him sleeping with her dance teacher. After which he became obsessed with winning her back, so much that he began to follow her and it got so bad the day of her opening night, she almost didn't finish up her contract. He had cornered her right after the show and told her he'd be back for her….If you would've showed your damn face those days you were here she probably wouldn't have to deal with the crap he dished alone...Can I ask why he's being brought up after all this time?"
Guilt surrounding him was hard to explain, he was wishful that he would've came to the rescue, but he knew he couldn't turn back time. "San he's in the play with her...Kurt told me some guy name Brody was there and when I asked for detail he said to call you."
Running her hand through her hair. She knew it meant she'd have to visit New York sooner than she wanted to."Look he won't try anything if he doesn't feel threatened, as soon as we get through today I'll find a way to get out there before the show next week. Finn, don't confront her about it. She'll come to you soon enough, we all know how crazy you'll get. At least wait for me to get there to join in the party."
"I'll just talk to -"
"No DON'T you do it, if you want to keep our little Berry sane I would prefer if you waited for me to help. I'll call Kurt later tonight and he and I will figure it out. Btw Jessie St. James was here the other day looking for Rachel, seems like there's a parade of exes coming your way Hudson, hope your ready for the tidal wave coming to New York."
Great if he didn't already have to deal with one ex, "Great..." In the distance he heard the door shut. "Looks like Rachel is home, I'll call you tomorrow and we can figure things out. I won't say anything." Hanging up the phone he grabbed the flowers he had for her and walked out to the living room. "Hey Beautiful." Rachel's smile grew wide and soft "Oh Rach I've missed you so much." Finn smiled wide holding the one person he loved closely. "How are you baby?"
"Oh Finn I've missed you too. You have no idea." Wrapping her arms around his neck she leaned up to kiss him deeply. After the day she was having she couldn't help but feel relief as he pulled her in his arms and against his lips. It was just what she needed.
Once they broke their kiss Finn handed her the same flowers he had gotten her 6 years ago on their trip to New York. "Happy Valentines day my sweet sweet love." Tears streamed down her face without hesitation. Leaning up she kissed him again, today he was going to make this a day for her to remember.
"Are you going to ask me on another work date?" She asked him with a smile that reached her hazel eyes.
"No I'm going to ask you to join me in Central Park for a beautiful late night stroll, that is if you'd like." Nodding she leaned up kissing him. Seriously could she not have gotten so lucky, Finn was everything that Brody wasn't. Rachel couldn't deny that she wasn't scared of that fact that Brody was going to be around for a while, but with Finn here she felt safe and happy.
Even though they still had their things to work out, Rachel couldn't deny how easy it was for them to go back to where they once were. They were happy, even with Finn in Lima and herself in New York. Finn and Rachel both had faith that things would workout the way both of them needed it to. Quickly she changed into a deep blue dress, one similar to the one she wore years ago, once done both walked down the street down to the park. Finn wasn't nervous as they walked up to the bridge, he wanted it to be perfect this moment was one step forward in fixing things and making up for the past five years. "Rachel, I know were not passed a lot of things we want to be, but I want you to know that I love you and I want a forever with you..." Rachel looked at Finn tears already falling. "I want you to know, this isn't a proposal yet, but it is a promise. I promise that I will never be without you. I promise to find a way to make us work. I promise that no matter what, no matter how, I will love you."
When Finn opened the box Rachel noticed the ring instantly as the one he gave her that fateful day in the auditorium. "Is this?"
"It's the same ring Rachel, except..." He handed it to her, all she could do was smile at the engraved words We're endgame, Faithfully yours "I love you Rachel. Its a promise ring, all those words I meant it Rach...I'm going to marry you and we'll get through this and have our happily ever after."
"Oh Finn Hudson, I love you beyond words." She looked up at him after he slipped the ring onto her finger. "I promise I'll make you happy someday."
Wrapping his arms around her he felt the love they had grow even stronger in that moment. "Rachel Berry you make me happy more than you'll ever know."
Brody's Pov
Sitting in her old room, I could easily remember the bed we shared. Slowly I ran my hand across the bed. "Every breath you take, And every move you make." Licking my lips I remember the way she talked about her past and every chance I got I tried to break that connection she once had with that boy. "Every bond you break, Every step you take. I'll be watching you."
Ever since she made me leave I knew her every move and her schedule, "Every single day, And every word you say, Every game you play." Looking out the window I could easily remember the nights I would stand out there watching her sleep from my friend's apartment. "Every night you stay, I'll be watching you."
I remember her best friends trying to protect her from me, but they were wrong. She needed protection from them. They were always trying to build a wedge between us. "Oh can't you see, You belong to me. How my poor heart aches, With every step you take…" Watching her cry at her father's funeral and how that boy comforted her. Touching the one thing that was mine was bringing me to want to get rid of him...Maybe there was a way...
When she came home from Lima two months ago, I've been following her making sure her friends stayed away, but every chance I got someone would interrupt, but that's okay...Now she was in the play with me. Now I will have her. "Every move you make, And every vow you break. Every smile you fake, Every claim you stake, I'll be watching you!"
"Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace," When she left New York I was a mess and I didn't know what to do or how to control my urges. Having her back in town and directly across the way from her old apartment and my new one was the easiest way to deal with my wanting of her again, but when I found out she had moved back in with Kurt and his husband, I was starting to lose it. Kurt was going to have to go, then that guy of his...I'll have to find a way to deal with the two of them first. "I dream at night, I can only see your face, I look around but it's you I can't replace." I only wanted her no one else, I wasn't going to let her know my intentions yet, but it was going to happen weither she wanted it or not.
My obsession was consuming but I don't care as long as she became mine. "I feel so cold and I long for your embrace." Three long months I would get her to myself, I wont lose her this time. Nothing her friends do or say will prevent her from being mine.
"I keep crying baby, baby , Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh" Even now Valentines day I look across the street and see him holding her. See him touching her, he thinks she's his, but I've had her when he wasn't around. Will she love him when she finds out about his secret?
"Oh, can't you see. You belong to me. How my poor heart aches." That evil bastard touching her, Finn Hudson you're playing a sadistic game. "With every step you take, Every move you make. Every night you stay, Every move you make, Every vow you break, Every smile you fake… I'll be watching, Every single day, Every word you say, Every game you play I'll be watching you." As the song came to an end I licked my lips softly. Watching as they left together, I go over to the drawer laughing as I pull out my gun. "Sorry dead boy, time for you to say bye bye to my girl..."
