Best Friends

Untitled Part 18

FRIDAY:

Finn's POV:

So I've been taking Quinn out on dates since Tuesday but it's nothing serious yet, I texted her today if she would want to be my girlfriend and she said she'd let me know.  Quinn's okay, I got a lot of crap from her when Kurt called her 'gross' and I didn't say anything about it.  Luckily, Quinn's going to be in Columbus for the weekend so I get to just be at home alone.

The days have been awkward since Rach and I broke up, mostly because we sit next to each other in the 5/7 classes that we have together. I've realized she's not talking a lot, which is strange because Rachel Berry might be the most talkative person I've ever known.

Finally, it's the last class of the day and the bell is about to ring. I can't wait to just go home and hang out in my boxers and play video games.

Rachel's POV:

"GIRLS NIGHT!" Kurt exclaimed! He has been talking about this since Wednesday when he got the idea.  

Tonight, Mercedes, Tina, and I are going to be having a sleepover with Kurt at his house.  I was hesitant at first because I was worried about seeing Finn, but I realized that I miss him so much that it might be good to 'run' into him at his house. Who knows, maybe we will end up together or talking again. It's not like I'm a stranger.

NIGHT

I finished packing my bag and drove to Kurt's house, I brought so much junk food that it probably looks like I am crazy! When I finally arrive there I park my car and see that Tina and Mercedes must all ready be there. It's weird because I can hear the music all the way from outside, funny right? I pressed the doorbell down and waited till someone opened the door.

"Hey, Rach," Finn said looking down at me. I got nervous all of a sudden and felt like I could cry. I just want to hug him, but I know I can't. 

"Hi," is all I can say. It's awkward but he moves out of the way so I can get in. 

"Kurt and the girls are in the basement, let me know if you need some Finn time because I got a lot to share," he said confidently. I really want to take him up on that Finn time offer because I do really miss him. All I want to do is talk with him. Talk about what happened, why he did it, if he actually felt something towards me. I just smiled at him after realizing that I was lost in thought and walked down the stairs.

The girl's night is going great! We've eaten a lot of junk food, talked about boys, well I listened but yanno, and watched the notebook.  I realized halfway through it that everyone else was asleep.  I looked at my phone and the time read 1:13 a.m.  To be completely honest, it's not that late. I think about Finn and how I know he is still up because he is on his own schedule, so he doesn't go to bed till 4 am on weekends. I sit there for another 10 minutes till I finally have the guts to go upstairs. Kurt told me his parents went to Toledo for the weekend so it's just the kids.

I walk up the stairs in search for Finn. I don't see him on the main floor so I go up another level to his room. I knock on the door softly and wait, but there is no answer. The door is already a little open so I just walked in. The lights were off but I could see Finn sitting on his terrace. I walk up behind him and tap his shoulder, which causes him to flinch.

"Sorry, there, I didn't mean to scare you," I whispered so I wouldn't be to loud.

"It's okay, you didn't scare me too bad," he replied with his dreamy smirk.  I apparently got lost in thought about it because he's waving his hand in my face next.

"Sorry, I uhm I actually don't know what I am doing," I say and start to get flustered and walk back into his room.

"Rach, wait, can we talk?" he stopped me by grabbing my wrist. I had butterflies all over again. I just nod my head and we walk back out to the terrace.

"You know, I have a lot of questions that I need answers too, if I could ask you," I said and stare at him.

"Shoot," he shot back.

"Why'd you kiss Quinn," I asked with a serious face.

He stared at me for a bit until he looked down at the ground, "I don't really know.  She was there and she initiated the kiss, so I went along with it and it felt like..."

"...fireworks," I finished his sentence. He looked at me with shame in his eyes and nodded.

"Next question, did you actually ever feel something towards me?" I wasn't sure if I wanted to hear the answer or not. 

His head snapped at me quickly, then he looked up at the stars," You know, I did, I really did. I thought I was falling in love with you, and I had been since the day we met.  I think you were the best person to feel something with because you reciprocated it," he's smiling and then it turns into a frown, "and I don't know why, but we kind of just lost it. I still feel the same, but something isn't right," he said and kept looking off in the distance. I can't tell if I am happy with that answer or not.

"Thank you, Finn," I simply say and wipe the tear forming in my eye away.  He looks at me and I had to get out of there, so I just got up and walked away.

Out of no where Finn grabs my waist and he pulled me close to him. I was crying full on now and I couldn't control it. "Hey, there, don't cry, I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry," he mumbled and wiped the tears from my eyes. He rested his forehead against mine and we slowly started gravitating towards each other. I'm not sure what I'm doing but I'm also not sure I can stop or even want to stop it. Our lips are about to touch when his phone goes off.

The phone startled me causing me to jump back and hit Finn in the nose with my head. "I'm so sorry! Oh my gosh Finn let me help!" I quickly stumble over my words, not sure if it's because of the scare or the shock of us almost kissing. 

"It's okay!" Finn replies and pulls out his cell phone to answer it with out even checking caller id. He put it on speaker so he could attend to his nose.

"Finn, hi, just wanted to call you and tell you, YES I'LL BE YOUR GIRLFRIEND!" Finn quickly hangs up the phone and looks at me.

"Rach..." He started.

"I gotta go," I say as I turn quickly and go out of his room back down to the basement where I laid in my heap of blankets and cried.
