Rachel frowned. It was like the ground just opened and she got swallowed whole. She shook her head like she was trying to wake up from a horrible dream. This wasn't happening.
"What?No, Finn." She stuttered out. "It can't be over!" She added know feeling numb. "Not after everything that has been said! Not after everything you said Finn!"
Finn looked down. He wanted to die then and there, seeing the pain in her eyes was too much. He wanted her to be mad at him so she would hate him, he knew what he needed to say and it was a lie but he knew it was the only thing that would make her go. "I,I cheated on you last night." He said holding back tears. Of course this was a lie he would never do that. "I have tried being the guy you deserved but i cant change-"
"You cheated on me? You fucking cheated on me!" Rachel shouted. Her voice was full of hurt and anger. Her chest was hurting so bad, she couldn't catch her breathe. Everything was falling apart. "No... You couldn't have done something like that to me. Please tell me you're lying!" She added now with tears streaming down her face.
"It's just." Finn started. He was still looking down. "We're young and with college and everything coming up i freaked out. I mean we were talking about sharing a flat together. It would of been like we were married and i just don't love you enough for that. I thought i did but,," He took a deep breathe and finally looked up to see her face. He couldn't believe how hurt she was, he hated this! "I think we should go to college single."
"I can't believe this. What about all the things we shared? What about Finchel?" She said her voice shaking.
"I tried to be the man you saw in me, but i guess i'm just not." He added. He hated the way she was looking at him.
"I guess you're not." Her voice still shaking. "I just can't believe that you're the Finn i love." She added as she though of the tattoo she had. "You know what? You win Finn, you're going to college single." She added bursting of crying running out the house.
Rachel didn't really know where she was running too. All she could feel was hurt and pain.
Rachel stopped in front of a door. She looked up to see it was Quinn's. She knocked as hard as she could shouting of Quinn.
As soon as Quinn opened the door she saw Rachel collapse onto the floor crying.
"Rachel? What happened?" Quinn said with panic in her voice kneeling down next to her best friend. "Come on Rachel talk to me." Quinn said looking at Sam who was behind her buttoning up his shirt.
Rachel looked up at Quinn. "People were right, there is no pain like a broken heart." She said inbetween sobs.
"What the hell Rachel?" Quinn asked trying to help Rachel up but she was still on the floor.
"Please make the pain stop." Rachel said holding her chest. "Please help me! It hurts, it hurts Quinn." She said looking at Quinn and Sam. "He promised me forever...He took that from me... Just please stop the hurting." She added looking down again.
Sam's heart broke, he had never seen anyone like this before.
"Help me!" Quinn pleaded looking at him with hope.
Sam nodded and lifted Rachel from the floor, holding her tight in his arms he brought her to Quinn's bedroom and rested her on the bed.
Quinn lay beside Rachel and hugged her tight. "I'm here." She said rocking her best friend. "Tell me whats wrong." She added now realising she also had tears in her eyes.
Sam couldn't help but to also have tears in his eyes. He sat on the bed and looked at the two best friends.
"Come on sweetie, talk to me." Quinn said stroking Rachel's hair.
"He...He dumped me." Rachel said sobbing even harder.
"What?" Both Quinn and Sam asked.
"No, he loves you." Quinn said in total shock.
"He said that he didn't love me enough." Rachel said her head still buried in Quinn's chest. "He cheated on me." Saying those words made it hurt so bad.
"Huh?" Quinn asked like she didn't understand. "No it's impossible, it was guy's night." She added looking at Sam.
Sam shook his head.
"What?" Quinn said looking at him.
Sam stood up and walked to Quinn in order to whisper in her ear. "He didn't show up last night."
Quinn looked at Sam with so much anger. "Oh! He is so dead." She said coldly.
"I forgot, i left my car there." Rachel spoke up trying to ignore Sam and Quinn's comments.
"I'll go pick you're car up sweetie." Quinn said trying to calm her anger. "Sam is going to stay here with you." She added looking at Sam.
"Of course i am!" Sam said. He hated Finn for this! How could he hurt her?
Quinn moved from the bed and Sam took her spot.
"I will be back soon with you're car, please don't worry." Quinn said nicely walking out the room.
Sam held Rachel tight, he didn't know what to say.
"It's going to be okay." he said trying to comfort her.
Quinn arrived in front of Finn's house. She was even more pissed off than before. She wanted to hurt him in so many ways.
She knocked on the door hardly.
As soon as Finn opened the door he felt a sharp pain in his stomach and bent over. "Are you insane?" he shouted angrily to Quinn still holding his stomach. She was damn stronger than he thought.
Quinn tried to slap him, but Finn stopped her hand.
"You had one freebie Fabrey!" He said in a threatening tone. He was hurt enough all ready today. He knew it was going to worse when he saw Puck. "Don't you think what you've just done was enough?" He asked.
"Enough? Enough!" She shouted with disbelief. "You're luck i'm not a fucking guy! Better yet you're lucky i'm not Puck! You're such a dick!" Quinn said shivering with anger.
"I guess she told you." Finn said sadly.
"You bet she did! And i can't believe you did that to her! You said you would lover her forever!" Quinn screamed. "You didn't mean any of it that you said and that's the worst part."
Finn just looked down.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" Quinn said slapping his arm. "Look at me when i'm talking to you!"
"You don't know the full story." Finn stated.
"Did you cheat on her? Yes or no?" She shouted. She was getting more and more pissed off.
"I." Finn started.
"Yes or no?" She screamed even louder.
"Yes." He screamed. "Is that what you wanted to hear?" He asked.
"No i didn't" She said lowering her voice. "But you know what? You're going to regret what you did for a long time." Quinn said pointing at him.
Finn just looked down.
Quinn shook her head and started laughing. "You know Hudson, you will never find someone who will love you as much as she did. Nobody will ever see in you as much as she did." Quinn sighed with annoyance. "And believe me i'll wait for this day and i'll be their. You lost the best thing that ever happened to you." She added leaving.
"Don't you think i know that.." He whispered looking at the door as he closed it while tears started falling.
Rachel opened her eyes and saw who she was lying next too.
Sam? She thought with panic as the events of the night cam back to her slowly. Finn was no longer in her life.
Rachel felt someone move behind her and she slowly turned around. It was Quinn.
Rachel looked at the ceiling and couldn't help but smile even if she was hurting. She was sleeping between Sam and Quinn, two great friends there for her. She was so thankful to have them.
She looked at the alarm clock. It was 4am. She knew Quinn had probably phoned her mother to let her know she was staying their for the night, but all she wanted to do was go home. She did her best to crawl out of the bed trying not to wake Sam or Quinn up.
Rachel finally made it home and went up to her bedroom as quietly as possible. She knew Noah was just in the next room and she really did not want him to see her like this.
Rachel lay on her bed and looked at the ceiling, she slowly started to think of all the lies Finn had told her.
She looked up at her clock that showed it was 6.30am. She sighed with annoyance and stood up. "Ok, you win." She said walking to her desk and taking out the letter and ticking the accepted box. "I guess it's what i'm meant to do." She added to herself knowing it would be so hard to do, but she had too.
She sealed the envelope, put her jacket on and went to post it.
Rachel was already back and eating her breakfast when her brother made his way to the kitchen.
"Hey sleepy head." Rachel said trying to sound like her normal self.
"Geez Rach! I am sorry to tell you but you look terrible! Didn't sleep much huh?" He added with a laugh.
Rachel just smiled and put her head down.
"What?" Puck asked. "You're never speechless."
"I...I broke up with Finn last night." She said. She thought it would of been better to say that instead of him knowing what he did.
"You what?" Puck asked with disbelief. "If this is a joke its not funny."
"Nope, i got an offer back at the music program, full time and i'm taking it!" She added looking at her brother.
Puck shook his head and looked at her with anger. "What happened to you were so happy and wanted to follow him?" Puck spat.
"Well sometimes things change." Rachel sated standing up to clean the dishes.
"Whatever!" Puck said standing up so he could face his sister. "I am so disappointed in you! I can't believe you're breaking his heart! You are not the girl you used to be. You are not half the women i thought you would become." Puck said simply.
Rachel was so shocked by what he said , it broke her heart because she knew he meant every word, but she was still protecting Finn from Noah. She just kept looking at Noah without saying a word.
"Damn it Rachel! Say something!" Puck said punching the table. "This is bullshit!" He added.
"Think whatever you want, but this music program is what i want."
"You're going to regret this Rachel! You don't know what you have done." Puck added with anger. "Now if you will excuse me i have to go and meet my best friend." Puck said shaking his head.
Finn was leaving the coach's office when he saw Puck heading his way, he put down his head. "Here it comes." He whimpered.
"Finn" Puck shouted walking towards him.
Finn closed his eyes expecting a punch straight in the face, but something he never expected happened. He felt Puck pull him into a hug.
"I'm so sorry man." Puck said with sadness in his voice. "I can't believe she did that to you! But i will stand by you." He added.
Finn was happy Puck couldn't see the confused look in his face.
"Yeah." Finn said confused.
"She told me this morning." Puck said pulling out of the hug.
"Yeah about that." Finn started.
"I cant believe she chose the program over you!" Puck continued. "I mean." Puck shook his head. "I mean i woke up and she told me she finished it with you and i couldn't believe it."
Finn looked down, he was so happy that she accepted the offer. "Yeah but it's music, it means everything to her." Finn said still confused. He didn't know why Rachel took the blame.
"Yeah, but after you asked." Puck started.
"I didn't." Finn said butting in. "Things changed before." He added.
Puck nodded, looking at his best friend in pain. "She'll regret it Finn, she is making a mistake." Puck said pulling him back into a hug.
"Well, i guess you're still friends! That's a shocker!" Sam said walking into his room shaking his head.
"Give him a break!" Puck shouted. "Rachel just broke up with him."
"Yeah right!" Sam said bursting into laughter. "And who told you that?" He asked Puck but his eyes stayed on Finn.
"Rachel told me!" Puck said.
"What? Rachel told you that?" Sam asked frowning.
"Yeah why?" Puck asked with annoyance.
"I just, does't matter, i need to go." Sam said he needed to find Quinn.
Sam saw Quinn and pulled her into a hug and whispered in her ear. "Rachel told Puck she was the one that finished things with Finn." Quinn tried to break their embrace but Sam tightened his grip and kept talking. "As far as it goes for Puck, Rachel is the bad one." He added.
"What the hell?" She said storming off.
Quinn was in her car looking for Rachel, she finally found her and got out of the car.
"Hey sweetie, how are you doing?" She asked sitting beside her.
Rachel jumped slightly. "You know same same." She dried her tears. "I just feel like my world has fell apart."
"I know." Quinn said taking her hand. "But." She stooped.
"What?" Rachel asked. "You came here to say something, so say it." She added.
"Ok." Quinn took a deep breathe. "Did you really tell your brother you broke it off?"
Rachel nodded.
"Why?" Quinn asked shocked. "He deserves to know the truth and Finn deserves to get his ass kicked."
Rachel stood up and started walking slowly. "I am mainly doing it for Noah."
"Puck? I don't understand." Quinn said confused.
"They will go to college together, play on the same team!" Rachel said turning to face Quinn. "They have been best friends even longer than us! I mean it is the only person he will know their, i don't want him to lose his best friend."
"But what about you? You're the one that needs the support." Quinn said getting worried. "Its going to be so hard for you." She added taking Rachel's hand.
"Nah, i will be away so i don't care what happens. And i will feel better knowing that Noah has his best friend by his side. It's all for the best i promise." She said smiling. "Noah won't be mad forever! I'm his baby sister." Rachel added praying she was right.
Quinn nodded before widening her eyes. "Wait away? Your taking the offer?"
"Yeah i am." Rachel stated. "Because my boyfriend was a fucking liar and a cheater so i'm going." She added trying to smile for her best friend.
Quinn closed the distance between them and hugged Rachel. "I know you can't feel it now but this will make it better."
"To be honest Quinn, i'm not sure i will be okay." Rachel said crying into Quinn's hair.
"You'll be okay Rachel Puckerman. You are going to change the world someday and you don't even know it."
