Chapter 22 
(That Night)
Rachel's pov:

   I was at home cooking dinner for my mom. All I could think about was Finn, he was so upset when I told him I couldn't go out with him on our anniversary but my mom needs me here. I just wish he understood that she needs me right now.  I tried to call him but he won't pick up any of my calls. I was in the kitchen when my mom walked in, 

"What are you doing Rachel?" She asked me. 

"Mom what are you doing out of bed , the doctor you need to rest after chemo ." I told her. 

"I have my whole life to rest but right now I'm more concerned about why my daughter isn't with her boyfriend on her five month anniversary." She said . 

"I need to be here taking care of you." I said . 

"No you need to be with Finn, I can take care of myself ." She told me. 

"He hates me."  I said sitting down . 

"No  he doesn't he loves you and you love him. Which is why you need to go to him Rachel. You need to tell him you love him." She said.

"I can't just go." I said.

"Yes you can, so go before I kick you out." She said.

I smiled and kissed her cheek ,

"Thanks mom." I said and left.

(Finns place)
I pulled up in my car and it was pouring out . I saw Finn out in the yard digging a hole for some weird reason when I got out.

"Finn! Finn what are you doing?" I yelled out in the rain.

"Rachel why are you here?" He yelled back.

"I came here to tell you I love you!" I yelled through the storm. 

"What?" He yelled still not hearing me. 

I came closer to him and said,

"I love you Finn, and I'm so sorry I've been neglecting you lately but you are my best friend and I love you with all my heart and I can't go through this life without beside me ." I told him . 

"I'm sorry I got angry earlier , I should've been more understanding." He said . 

"It's okay, nobody said this would be easy but I know as long as I have you everything will be okay." I told him . 

He held my face and leaned in, 

"I love you." He said smiling. 

I smiled and said, 

"I love you too." I told him and he kissed me passionately in the rain. 

"Wait I have something give you." He told me. 

"What is it?" I asked him . 

He pulled out a box from his jacket and opened it,

"Happy Anniversary." He told me . 

I smiled down at the Finn necklace and said, 

"I love it and I love you." I said and kissed him again.
