Rachel On stage singing
Rachel's POV

"No I can't take one more step towards you, cause all that's waiting is regret." It's true. I'm up here singing and all I can think about is Finn. I literally can't even look at him without regretting everything that I did to him.
"You lost the love I loved the most. I learned to live half alive, and now you want me one more time." This song honestly couldn't relate to me more. I am living half alive. Ever since we broke up, I don't feel the joy I used to have. I just fake a smile everyday, and make people believe I'm happy. I look on the dance floor only to immediately catch Finns eye. It's kind of crazy, we always seem to find each other. He has a look in his eye showing me that he is thinking. Good. I know exactly what he's thinking about. Us. The words to this song relate to him as much as they relate to me. "And who do you think you are? Running around leaving scars." He has left a scar that will never be healed on my heart.
Throughout the rest of the song, me and Finns eyes are locked, while he slowly sways side to side with Quinn. They are perfect together. The pretty, blonde, popular girl with the hot, jock, popular guy. I never fit in to the equation because, because I'm well, me. I'm a nobody with a big nose. A few times I have to look away because again, tears are starting to form, from watching them together. But because of my promise to never let him see me cry again, I swallow the stars and look to the back of the room at Jesse. When I do, I smile, and I am again fine.
"Who do you think, you are." I sing the last words of the song. It's true. Who do you think you are Finn. I feel as if he always comes around flaunting his dating with Quinn in my face, and it always ends in me crying. Sometimes I believe he wants to hurt me. Why else would he keep coming around and giving me hope, then ripping it away. Like yesterday, he told me he cared for me, yet he comes to prom with Quinn. If he really cared about me, and my feelings, he wouldn't have asked me about buying her a corsage, or he really wouldn't be here with her. But he is. And he doesn't care. So neither will I. I'm done fighting a battle I know I will never win. It's not worth it. It's not worth all the pain that comes along with loosing.
I step down from the stage and run to the back of the room to grab Jesses hand and pull him to the dance floor. I need. to at least try and get my mind off Finn. Especially since he obviously doesn't care at all for me or my feelings. I came here to dance, not mope around about someone who doesn't care about me. When the next song comes on, I move to the music, and for the first time in what feels like forever, I'm having fun.
