Your Heart Beats Like A Drum

Chapter 21: A Thousand Years

After Noah had left, Rachel spent the rest of the evening going through every song she could think of that described her feelings for Finn. It felt as though she was never going to find the right song, since she had gone through so many but none fit the bill.

What she needed was a song that showed him that she can't leave without him and that she truly loves him and always will.

She was scrolling down her playlists over and over again, hoping something would jump out at her.

Finally, one title stuck out. Rachel turned it on and sat there as the melody filled the room, except what she concentrated on was the lyrics. She listened intently and when the song finished, she realized that tears had surfaced. This was the song, it was perfect and it was in her key.

Rachel picked up her phone and dialed Kurt's number.

"Hello, Kurt Elizabeth Hummel speaking," answered a feminine yet male voice.

"Hi, Kurt. It's Rachel. I made my decision! It's him! I want him, but I need your help to prove it to him," exploded Rachel.

"Well it's about time. What brought you to your senses?"

"Err...I don't want to go into details but I realized it was Finn I wanted and I kicked Noah out earlier today," explained Rachel hesitantly.

"Good for you! So how may be of service?"

"You said that you have a spare key?" asked Rachel.

"Yeah, I do. Why?"

"Is there a law against breaking in when you have a key?" joked Rachel.

"I don't think so... I don't know what you're up to but I like the sound of it. Blaine loves it when I get all badass...err...anyway, details please!"

Rachel began to explain her plan to Kurt, hoping that Finn's brother would help her win him back. She wanted the love of her life back in her arms, and if it all worked out, she'd get her wish.

It was Tuesday night, usually a date night for the couple and Rachel was sneaking into Finn's apartment to set up for her surprise. Kurt had forced him to go to work, and it was really hard to argue with him.

Finn was suppose to get home from work in about 10 minutes, which gave Rachel enough time to set up the sound system and get her nerves in check. She didn't understand why she was nervous; Rachel has performed for much larger crowds on multiple occasions. It must have been what this performance stood for; it was either the end or a new beginning of her relationship with Finn.

She pulled out a chair into hallway from the kitchen, and placed it right in the middle, facing the entry. He would see her as soon as he walked in, giving him enough time to run away if he wanted to. Though Rachel truly hoped he wouldn't.

Rachel looked down at her clothes and hoped that Kurt's suggestions were okay. He said she needed to seem sexy and alluring to help out her cause, so he picked out one of her leather miniskirts and her favourite low-cut tank top, which flowed over her curves perfectly. She had curled her hair into nice loose curls and had done her makeup. Rachel wanted to look perfect for the man that was about to walk through the door.

She sat down on the chair, and awaited his arrival. After sitting there silently, Rachel saw the doorknob turn and the door gently opened revealing the most gorgeous man she had ever seen.

Finn walked in with his head hanging low, his hair all over the place and he was wearing a frown. He looked beautiful but the sad vibe that came off of him distracted her. He finally looked up and caught her eye. Finn jumped back in surprise, dropping his bags and exclaimed.
