The Best of Me

Where She Went

Chapter 33
Rachels pov :
I got onto to a flight to Malibu I needed time to myself to think about what I was going to say to Finn. I called Mercedes who was here with Sam to come an pick me up. I got off the plane to see my friends there . I smiled as they came up and hugged me.

"Hey there Rach." Sam said hugging me.

"Hey Sam." I said.

"Rachel how are you? Where's Finn?" Mercedes asked me.

I looked at them , "I've got a lot of explaining to do." I said.

Sam smiled and said , "Well it's a good thing we have a long drive." He said grabbing my luggage .

(40 minutes later)
"So let me get this straight, Finn and you were fighting and he asked you how to fix things and you proposed to him , he said yes , so you guys flew to Vegas got to the chapel and then you freaked out an ran away? Why?" Sam asked me .

"I have no idea I mean I love Finn so much and I wanted to marry him but I knew in my heart that it wasn't right. I mean I was standing there looking for wedding dresses getting ready to be married by cupid. I didn't want that. I want people who we know and love to be there. Poor Finn though I feel horrible he's probably crushed right now . " I said.

Finns pov :
How could this happen? Was getting married to me really that bad? Why did she run ? Where is she ? I thought to myself as I sat in the bar. I grabbed my cell phone and called Rachel hoping she pick up.

Rachels pov :
We sat in the car when suddenly my phone rang, "Oh no it's Finn." I said panicked .

"Answer it." Sam said.

"I can't here you take it tell him I'm fine and I'm sorry." I said as we pulled into the drive way.

"Hello?" Sam said.

Finns pov :
"Sam?" I said confused, "Why are you answering Rachels phone." I asked him .

Rachels pov :

"Yeah she's here with Cedes and I. No she's okay man she just needs a little space. She says she's sorry. You wanna talk to her? Hold on." Sam said.

He looked at me and so did Mercedes. I sighed and grabbed the phone.

Finns pov :
"Hello?" Rachel said.

I sighed in relief when I heard her voice.

"Rachel baby I'm so happy you're okay I'm coming to pick you up." I said.

"No." She said firmly.

"What?" I asked her.

"Finn I need time to be by myself I can't be with you right now ." She said.

My heart felt like it was breaking.

Rachels pov :
"Rachel I love you, whatever is going on we can fix it together. You and me remember?" He asked me.

I held the tears back and said , "I'm sorry Finn I need time , I just do. " I said.

"And what about the baby?" He asked me.

"I'm due for a awhile I'm sure I'll be fine. " I said.

Finns pov :
"Rachel." I said saddened.

"I'm so sorry Finn. " She said and hung up.

I sat there on the verge of crying , "One shot please." I told the bar tender.

Rachels pov :
I sat there with the phone in my hand.

"Rachel." Sam said.

"I'm fine Sam , come on lets go in." I said and I got out of the car.
