Sophia Chapter 13, a glee fanfic

Chapter 13

The next morning Rachel woke up and didn't see Finn lying next to her. She stood up and yelled Finn's name. She made her way to the house, realizing the door was unlocked and walked inside.

"Hey! How did you sleep?" Finn said as Rachel walked into the kitchen.

"Fine…I'm really cold though."

"You should put some different clothes on to start getting warm than we are going to go for a drive." He kissed her cheek.

"Ooh! Where are we going?"

"Somewhere very awesome. You will love it, even more than last night!"

"I don't know it's hard to beat what happened last night!" Rachel put some of the clothes she still had at Sophia's house on and hugged Finn. "I love you so much!"

"Finn, why are you taking me so far away?"

"I need to do this somewhere special and Lima isn't enough! This is a life turning point, Rachel, and our time is worth it! Trust me, I already told your dads and they are totally cool with it." Finn explained.

"Can you tell me where we are going so I don't freak out?" Rachel begged.

"Columbus," He answered.

"What? Why?"

"It's not Lima!"

"Fine," She gave in.

After a very, very extensive discussion about Quinn and a few stops at gas stations to make the drive longer, they finally arrived at Columbus. Finn parked the truck in a parking lot of a large building that made Rachel confused since it said "CLOSED THROUGH MARCH 10TH" on the front door; but Rachel trusted Finn and followed him through the big squeaky door. Rachel was speechless. The theatre was simply beautiful. She zoned out for at least five minutes and didn't notice Finn leave. Suddenly, she heard music and Finn's voice.

Finn:

There I was again tonight
Forcing laughter, faking smiles
Same old tired lonely place

Rachel couldn't breathe as she walked forward, closer to the stage.

Walls of insincerity,
Shifting eyes and vacancy
Vanished when I saw your face

She smiled as he pointed to her.

All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you

Your eyes whispered, "Have we met?"
Across the room your silhouette
Starts to make its way to me

She sat in the front seats of the theater and turned her head sideways a little.

The playful conversation starts
Counter all your quick remarks
Like passing notes in secrecy

And it was enchanting to meet you
All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you

Rachel leaned forward in chair and smirked. Oh my God my boyfriend's singing Taylor Swift! She thought.

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you

She smiled again and tried to stop herself from giggling in a flirty way.

The lingering question kept me up
2 AM, who do you love?
I wonder 'til I'm wide awake
And now I'm pacing back and forth
Wishing you were at my door
I'd open up and you would say, "Hey,
It was enchanting to meet you,
All I know is I was enchanted to meet you."

She watched as he continued.

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
This night is flawless, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you

She was obviously mesmerized as she enjoyed the performance.

This is me praying that
This was the very first page
Not where the story line ends
My thoughts will echo your name
Until I see you again
These are the words I held back
As I was leaving too soon
I was enchanted to meet you

Rachel looked into his eyes as she adored Finn's performance.

Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you
Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you

Rachel stood up and walked onto the stage for the last part.

Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you

"Wow, that was amazing Finn! But…I have a question. First, it was you apologizing, then you took me to the river and we had a great night, now this? What's going on? This isn't an anniversary or our a birthday even though my birthday's in only a week. This is literally the best weekend ever but I'm really confused." Rachel walked up to where Finn is standing.

"You'll find out in a few minutes. Just sit." Finn brought out a stool from backstage and Rachel sat on it. "Please don't say anything until I'm finished, okay?"

"Okay…" Rachel smiled and rolled her eyes at her crazy boyfriend.

"Okay, I really, really love you and I had this conversation with my mom and your dads and Kurt and Puck and Tina and Blaine and Quinn and Santana. I made sure you wouldn't kill me if I did this. I thought it over a lot and you probably have thought about it too and I want you to know that this won't change anything, okay?" He explained.

"I'm really, really confused." She admitted.

"Don't worry; it'll all make sense soon. Just listen." He said nervously. "I love you. I really, really love you. You are the most amazing, perfect woman I've ever met. From the first time I saw you, I knew there was something special about you. You had this beautiful face and this beautiful way of life that I could only dream of. Then we started dating. Then things got complicated but we held it together. Now, I stand before you as a man. You have made me this man. I would've never gotten into college if you wouldn't have helped me. You made my life perfect. You are the only thing I need. We might not agree on everything, and this might not be perfect, but we can make it perfect. I know we're only 18, but we can do this. I need you to know that I'm doing this because I love you, not because of Sophia. This is a promise. A promise to love you until the day I die. All you need to do is say yes. Rachel Berry, will you marry me?" He knelt down on one knee with a box in his hand and a ring inside of it. She was speechless. Rachel didn't know what to say.

"Oh my God! Yes of course I will! Oh my God! Yay!" She jumped into his arms and he spun her around. "I love you!"

"I love you too!" He smiled and kissed her.

"And you already got my dads' permission? And you talked to Quinn? Oh my God!" Rachel smiled. "Yay!"

"Yes I did," He kissed her again. "I knew you wouldn't say yes until they gave me permission."

"This is the most beautiful ring ever! I love you!" She cheered.

"It's a beautiful ring for a beautiful girl. You are amazing!" Finn and Rachel kissed very passionately and it felt more complete than it used to. Rachel began to cry. "Baby are you crying?"

"I'm just so happy!"

"I am too. It's getting late. I should bring you home. My mom is gonna get worried and so are your dads." Finn said, knowing he was being a buzz kill.

"I don't want to leave!"

"Neither do I but we're like an hour and 45 minutes away and we have school tomorrow."

"Now I'm sad. What time is it?" Rachel sighed.

"5:00 but it will take almost two hours to get back home if we don't stop and we both know we will, if you know what I mean. We probably won't get home until at least eight. We have school tomorrow so we need to finish our homework and we have that presentation due in history. I really don't want this weekend to end, but it has to.I wish I could freeze time. Let's go." Finn kissed Rachel's cheek and grabbed her hand. They walked to the car without Rachel's head leaving Finn's shoulder and either of their smiles fading.
