Rachels pov :
"Dear Rachel,
I am writing to you because I didn't know who else to write too. It's been 13 long years since you've been home and right now Finn needs you more than ever. He's hurting Rachel, his heart is broken and its been like this for a while now. He needs someone to light up his life again and you're the perfect person to do that. I know it's a lot to ask because of what happenee between you two before but he needs you Rachel. So please come home.
Love ,
Mr.Shuester. "
I looked out the window of the train as I arrived back to my home town Lima Ohio. The train came to a stop and I got off to be awaited by my father. "Hi sweet heart." My father said giving me a hug. "Hi dad." I said. "Ready to go home?" He asked me. I smiled slightly and said , "Already am." And he hugged me tightly. "So whats the plan for today?" My dad asked me as we walked into the kitchen. "Do you think I can take the car , I gotta go see some old friends." I said. "Sure." He said. I smiled and said, "Thanks." I told him as he gave me the keys. "Be careful. " He said as I left. I got into the car and drove to McKinley High School. Its been 13 long years since I've been to Lima. 13 years of heartbreak, 13 years of loss, 13 years of new beginnings. Its been 13 years since Rachel Barbara Berry aka me has been in Lima Ohio. A lot has happened in that short time . I'm 31 years old now and I've made a wonderful career for my self and now here I am back to Lima for the first time in 13 years. I walked into my highschool auditorium where I used to sing . Everything is so different now I used to be a young loving girl that took chances and loved to sing now I don't know who I am or where I belong. I took a breath and remembered that feeling that I once had in me . I remembered everything that I had once forgotten . I remembered my friends and him . By him I meant the one person that changed my world , Finn. "Hi. " Someone said. I turned around and said , "Hi.". I looked at him , the man I onced loved. We stood there in silence until he finally said , "What are you doing here Rachel?" He asked me coldly. "Is that it Finn, no 'how are you' or 'I've missed you ' ?" I asked him. "You said you never wanted to see me again." He said. "I did , but things happen and people change so how are you Finny?" I asked him. "Why are you here?" He asked me. I pulled the letter from Mr.Shue and said , "I got a letter from Mr.Shue he said you needed a friend someone to be here for you that you have been through a lot." I told him. He looked at the letter and said , "I don't need anyone." He told me. "What happened?" I asked him. "What happened? " He said, "What happened was she left me , nothing more, nothing less." He told me. "I'm sorry." I said. "You shouldn't be here Rachel , so just go home." He said and left.
