I Always Knew

Chapter Seven

Finn's POV

During Rachel's solo, she didn't cry, so that means whatever she was singing about, she's thought A LOT about it. I wonder what she's singing about. She stopped singing and looked at me. Was she singing about me?

Rachel's POV

I walked into the house and everything seemed weird. It was some foreign place. I immediately went upstairs to my room, and everything was there untouched. I was worried Liz had taken some of my things. I plopped myself on the bed. Santana's bed was definitely not as comfy as this bed. I shut my eyes and cuddled up to my blanket, hoping to take a nap when my door creaked open.

"Hey Rachel." Burt said smiling.

"Hey Burt." I sat up and smiled.

"Did something happen between you and Finn? I mean, other than the whole Liz situation." He asked.

"I don't know where we really stand right now, Burt." I sighed.

"Well he's downstairs, sleeping on the couch. He's a mess. He keeps screaming and talking in his sleep." He said worried. I just nodded and walked downstairs, dragging my blanket with me. When I reached the bottom of the stairs, sure enough, Finn was screaming. I ran over to him and squatted down right in front of him. I dragged my thumb over his cheek. He had tears going down his face. I felt so bad. I have no idea what he's so upset about, but I wish I knew.

"Finn, shhhhh." I said, tears were coming down my face seeing him like this.

"Rachel!" He screamed and wrapped his arms around me. I'm guessing he was awake.

"I'm here Finn, I'm here." I said scooting so that he had a more comfortable grip on me.

"You left, and I, didn't have anyone, and I..." He started to sob now, so did I.

"I'm right here, Finn." He pulled me up I got on couch with him and he put a death grip on me.

"I'm never letting you go, Rach." He whispered.

"You don't have to." I kissed his cheek and I fell asleep in his arms.

I woke up to see Finn staring at me.

"I'm sorry." He said.

"You don't have to be sorry Finn." I said caring.

"Yes, I do. I shouldn't have let Liz get in my way. We weren't even together." He said shaking his head.

"Finn, it's fine." I say once again.

"Can we go back to being just best friends?" He asked. That word. Just. It makes me want to cry. Just friends, that's how it will always be.

"Yeah" I said and smiled.
