You Belong with Me

chapter 16

Finn POV

I am standing on front of the mirror in my bedroom, and trying to sort out the horrible mess that is my hair. Its already got about a tonne of the new hair gel mom bought me specially but nothing seems to be working and now it just looks weirdly shiny and rock hard. Giving up, i stumble into the bathroom, go to the sink and scrub at my hair until it feels as smooth and natural as it normally should. As i run through my hair with comb and start to dry it, I look through my window and see Mercedes and Kurt having a heatded conversation in Rachels room. Kurt seems to be panicing and as soon as Rachel returns into the room with two glasses of water, he bursts into tears. I chuckle and watch the scene unfold. I am almost ready when Mercedes and Kurt storm out and leave Rachel sitting alone on her bed. I knock on the window to try to get her attention. She notices and waves. I reach over to my bedside tBle where my hige wad of paper lies and grab a pen. i besture to the paper to tell her to get hers and as she runs over to her desk, i scrawl a message on the first sheet.

Finn:<you going to prom tonight?>

Rachel:<no, studying :(>

Finn:<aww, thats too bad. wish you were.>

Rachel:<aww sorry>

Finn:<anything i can do?>

Rachel:<save me some punch maybe?>

Finn:<ok text me if you change your mind, would love to see you>

Rachel POV

As I watch Finn grab his jacket and walk out of his room, I flip to the back of my notepad and look at the message i had considered showing him last time we spoke via paper. the message read <i love you>. I sigh and look back over to my prom dress which is still hanging from the top of my wardrobe. Finally something clicks inside my head: I am an idiot.

I have the chance to go and hang out with my best friends in the entire world, looking like a princess, dance all night, and maybe even hang out with the boy that I've been in love with for the past 3 years. And yet here i am, standing in my bedroom, wearing sweatpants and a hoodie and feeling sorry for myself because i think i cant have any of this. suddenly, none of the scary stuff matters to me, all i can think about is Kurt, Mercedes, and Finn. thats all i want, and dammit thats what i deserve.

I quickly text Mercedes and Kurt to tell them I'm on my way. Then I gently throw myself into my dress, straighten my hair, splash some make-up on my face, and shove my feet into my new shoes. Wow, way to feel like a princess, Rach.

I grab my phone, some money and lipstick and squeeze it all into my soft silver clutch bag. I look in the mirror one more time, and breathe. I stand there for a few moments to gather my thoughts and admire myself. then, I run downstairs, I'm all ready to run out the door when I'm stopped.

Rachels dad #1 (hiram): (comes out of the kitchen and stopd when he sees rachel) aww, you decided to go after all! oh, (shouts) leroy, get down here your daughters a princess!!!

Rachels dad #2 (Leroy): (jogs down the stairs and spots her) well, we knew that already, Hiram, but especially now. you look gorgeous honey. (kisses her ckeek)

Rachel: Yeah, if its ok, Ill be back just after midnight? I'm meeting Kurt and Mercedes on the way and then they're gonna come back here after?

Leroy: Of course thats ok, have fun, we love you (opens the door for her)

Hiram: (stopping her just as shes about to leave) No, no, no, no, no, we need pictures, I'll be two minutes let me get my camera, you look too beautiful to not take photos. (running upstairs when he is stopped by Leroy)

Rachel: (backing out of the door) Daddy, im really sorry there's no time now, but you can take some when I get back, ok, I love you, and dont worry I wont drink and drive, or do drugs or whatever, and ok, bye. (runs down the path and down the street.)

As im running down the street with my hair flowing out behind me, I start to see Kurt and Mercedes waiting for me outside his house, and I run even faster. I start to yell at them, but they dont notice, so I yell even louder. People are starting to look at me as if I'm insane, but honestly I couldnt care less. Not everybody can feel exactly like a princess on their prom night.

When they finally hear my yells, they turn around, scream, and start to run towards me as well. as i
reach them, Kurt hugs me and spins me around. Then after he puts me down, Mercedes hugs me
as well, and I apologise for being so weird. then after all the hugs and such are over. I look at their outfits as we start to walk towards the school. Mercedes is wearing a huge, purple, chiffon dress with diamontes lined along the sweetheart neckline. the bodice draws her in at the waist, and then puffs out, which is incredibly flattering. her hair is in a tight bun and her make up is impeccable. i then, look over to Kurt and notice the statement top hat. i then notice his bow tie and slicked back hair, he always has had a soft spot for those. other than this, he is just wearing a normal suit but without the jacket, so that he is just wearing a waistcoat. they both look as fabulous as i imagined they would.

Finally we reach the school and enter the hall.
