Best Friends

Untitled Part 27

Rachel's POV:

Yup. I love him. I can't believe I actually love him. I hate this, stop thinking about that Rachel, he hurt you. He won't come back to a whale like you, especially if Quinn is there. I ran out after our dance and honestly can't think straight, so I just drove home.

I decided to change into my pajamas and grabbed my fuzzy blanket and sat down on the couch. I don't know why, but I just started to cry. I don't miss Finn being my boyfriend, I mean I do but I really miss him being my best friend.  Honestly, those were the best days of my life and now I don't have him as either. 

My dads aren't home because they had a business trip to be on, so I sat there and just cried and cried. I heard something outside the door and got nervous.  I grabbed a knife and swung the door open, revealing Finn.

"Gosh, you scared me !" I exclaimed.

"Yeah! And you almost stabbed me," he said gesturing to the knife. "Hey, have you been crying?"

"No," I said unconvincingly.

His eyes looked me over, "You're lying."

"No I'm not," I avoided eye contact.

"Rach, I think you're forgetting that I am your best friend..."

"Oh really? 'Cause lately it hasn't been feeling like that," my lip quivered.

"Is that why you were crying? Because I haven't been there for you?" I nodded my head. "I'm such an idiot, I'm so sorry. I never meant to make you feel bad. Oh Gosh, I'm sorry!" He grabbed me and pulled me into a hug. It was weird because now we were both crying.

He kissed the top of my head and I pulled back. What was he doing? "Want to watch some movies?" I ask him. I hope he says yes, then we'll be close again.

"I thought you would never ask," he says back with a smirk.

I grab him by the arm and drag him in to the couch and grab some more blankets.  The couch in the movie room wasn't very big, but it was big enough for two people.

"Let's see here, what movie do you want to watch?" I asked him playfully.

"I'm in a mood to watch a sad movie," he responded.

"So... The Longest Ride?" I ask hopefully.

"Why not?" he says back. I put the cd into the movie player and walk back sitting down.

It was weird, Finn and I were at an awkward distance, one bigger than when we were just friends. So, I move in closer to him. 

Half way through the movie I start to doze off. I felt Finn grab my hand, but that was all I could remember. I woke up a few hours later and noticed that I was practically smushed against Finn, but hey I'm not complaining. I didn't want to move so I stayed there, in his warm arm and just watched him. Sadly, it had to end because my bladder got the best of me.  I went to the bathroom, after that I walked out and saw the full moon outside. Wow, it was gorgeous. The clock said that it was 2:03 and I figured spending a few minutes outside wouldn't hurt. So, I slid my door open and stepped onto the balcony. The fresh air hit me, and I loved it. I just stared at the stars in the sky and smiled, remembering the stars that Finn gave me, one named Rachel, one named Finn, and the other Finchel. Goodness, I love him.

I was lost in thought when I heard the door behind me creek open and feel Finn's presence beside me. "It's beautiful right?" I asked him.

"Yeah, it is. Almost as beautiful as you," he whispered back and interlocked our fingers.  I blush but feel sad because I know that it won't happen.

"Thanks Finn," I reply. 

The next thing I know I'm facing him and his arms are locked around me. "Rach, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything that I put you through. I feel horrible knowing that I caused you to go through hell and back. But I was stupid, I thought popularity would make me happy, but the only thing that actually makes me happy is having you by my side, Rachel, I love you," He says. I'm on the verge of tears. I love him so much, but it hurt so bad when he broke up with me.

"I uhm love you too," I say back. It's kind of awkward now, so I start walking away.

I'm pulled back to Finn and held in his arms while he kissed me. I melted, I really did love him.  

"I think we should go back inside," I grab his arm and we went back to the couch and fell asleep, this time cuddled up. I'm in love with my best friend.
