It was two days later and Rachel was moving Santana's things into Rachel's home. This was easy due to the fact that most of Santana's things had burned in the fire. Will had offered to help them move the items into the home before he had to go to work. Rachel and Will shared a sweet kiss before he left to the prisinct. Santana smiled at Rachel.
"I always knew you two would end up together." Santana said and Rachel rolled her eyes smiling.
"I think your exact words were, Good thing Mr. Schue has a boner for you or you wouldn't get away with this whole diva act." Rachel repeted and Santana laughed.
"Hey have you heard from Finn yet?" Rachel asked and Santana shook her head.
"No but my home phone did perrish in the fire." She told her and Rachel nodded.
"Right he probably hasn't made it back to Michigan yet." Rachel said mostly to her self.
Rachel was passed out asleep on Santana with the TV still on. Their movie was playing loudly and Rachel yawned sitting up. Looking outside as Rachel locked the door she saw that her mailbox flag was up. Rubbing her sleep deprived eyes Rachel walked outside and opened the mailbox. Reaching inside Rachel touched a small card. Pulling it out Rachel looked down at the red letter and read it quickly. Looking around she ripped the letter up quickly and walked inside the house just in time to hear the phone start ringing.
Santana quickly sat up and walked over to the phone with Rachel. Answering the phone Rachel greeted the other person while looking at the clock on the stove. It was 2 am.
"Is this Rachel Berry?" A male asked and Rachel paused before answering.
"Yes this is."
"And is Santana Lopez with you?" He asked and Rachel looked at Santana.
"Yes she is."
"We need you both to come down to the prisinct." The man said and hung up before Rachel could ask any more questions.
"Santana get your coat we are going to the prisinct." Rachel told her and Santana nodded walking over to their coats. They walked down to the car and Santana drove them to the police office. Outside standing was Will looking shocked and hurt. Walking over Rachel looked at him waiting for him to explain but all he did was take Rachel and Santana in a big hug. He led them inside the prisinct. A woman walked over to them and sighed.
"Please Rachel Santana come this way we need your help." She said and walked into the back where the morge was. Looking at the body that laid on the table with a sheet over top made Rachel freeze. As the mortition pulled the blanket back Rachel was face to face with a dead Finn Hudson. His throat had been slashed.
"That's Finn." Rachel told her gravely and the mortition went to put the blanket back up but Rachel stopped him. She slowly touched Finn's cold face and shook her head. Collapsing against the table Rachel cried against Finn. Santana took Rachel quickly and held her close. They walked out of morge and Will was waiting for them. Clutching him quickly Rachel cried against his chest.
"You." Someone breathed. Rachel looked up to see Carol, Finn's mother looking at her.
"You, you killed my son." Carol said and Rachel shook her head.
"N-no I d"
"This is all your fault. You should have never come back. Because of you my son is dead!" Carol said and broke down crying. Will pulled Rachel away into a back room and she sat down on a chair.
"She's right I killed Finn. This is all my fault." Rachel said and Will shook his head.
"She was just upset Rachel and so are you. You need to go home and rest. I'll take you and Santana home. I'll spend the night with you." He said and grabbed his coat. Walking the girls out Santana told Rachel to ride with Will. Once they got home Santana quickly went to the guest bedroom to lay down. Rachel walked up to her parents old bedroom and sat down on the bed.
"You should sleep." Will told her sitting next to her.
"I can't I'm too upset to sleep." She said and turned to him.
"Will I-I," Rachel started but she couldn't bring herself to finish. Will leaned over and kissed her lips assuming she was just upset and needed comfort. Wrapping her arms around his neck Rachel quickly kissed him back. They laid back on the bed.
Rachel listened to Will's steady heart beat. Her head rested against his naked chest while he slept soundly under her.
"I won't let you take him from me." Rachel whispered staring out the window. She knew he'd be there. Never again would Rachel lay down and let him kill her. Kissing Will's head Rachel finally was able to sleep.
