The Sad Truth

Chapter twenty two

I don't think I've ever been happier to say how much I've missed Lima. I walk off the train feeling somewhat relieved.

Santana and Britney are talking with kitty as we board off the train. So Sam walks up to me. We hardly spoke for this trip. I don't really mind.

"I'm proud of you Rachel" Sam tells me
"Thanks, I'm proud of me too" I answer

He smiles and goes for a hug. I don't usually hug people except Finn and my best friends, but I guess I can hug Sam. It's weird. I've never had a friend hug me, just cause they feel like it.

It's an ok hug, I like Finn bear hugs better. Speaking of him. I wonder if he might pick me up today. I let go of Sam and head out.

The whole time I search for Finn. I didn't see him through the glass window as we boarded off. I feel Santana stand behind me. Then I see his tall clumsy butt, and I run to him.

I don't care whose looking, I hug him, and I hug him tight. He returns my hug and I feel 100x better. He's like my missing puzzle piece.

"Thank you" I say squeezing him
"Any time best friend" he whispers

I let go of him as I hear everyone else rolling their bags behind. I don't really feel bad about ditching them for Finn. Is that bad? Mm, I won't think about it too much. For now, I just want to go home and sleep.

At Rachel's house

Finn ended up driving me home, and helping me bring my bags in. My parents are still gone, and I still feel queasy about what I just did. So I lay on my bed as Finn brings up my suitcase for me.

I'm glad he's here, but now he has to go, and my stomach is sick. I don't want him to go, I've been without him for too long.

"Well, I guess I should get going" Finn said with a hint of sadness
"Please stay, I don't want to be alone tonight" I whisper afraid of his answer

I glance at him to see that lopsided grin of his.

"Ok, I'll stay, for you" he says laying next to me

We sat there in comfortable silence until Finn interrupts it,

"Did you get your deserved justice?" He whispers almost afraid to ask
"Yes," I whisper just as afraid
"Were you scared?" He whispers
"Yes," I say still scared
"Are you still scared?" He asked in the same whisper
"Yes" I answer still scared

I feel his arms wrap around me and I wrap mine around him. I lay my head on his chest listening to his steady heartbeat.

For a long time I felt alone, but now that Finns here, I don't feel so alone anymore.

"I can hear your heart beat" I say breaking the short silence
"Good, it's beating hard for you" he whispers

I squeeze him tight, and close my eyes, listening to the sound of his steady heartbeat, falling asleep next to my person.
