Finns pov:
Rachel and I have been dating for 4 months and we're so happy and in love . I just love being with her again , she makes me happy , so happy that when I'm around her I get butterflies. Rachel and I were in the kitchen cooking food and dancing to music when her mom came in and turned it down.

"Hey mom." Rachel said .

"Sweetie we need to talk." She said .

"About what ?" Rachel asked her .

"Maybe Finn should leave , I don't know if he should be here for this." She told Rachel.

"Mom , Finns my boyfriend anything you have say it's okay to say it in front of him." She told her mom .

"Honey, it's your dad , he's requesting to see you before his transfer to Florida." She said .

Rachel looked at her in utter and complete shock. She sat down and I put my hand on her shoulder .

"No , no , I can't do it ." She told her mom.

"Rachel," Her mom said .

"You really want me to see him? After everything he put me through, after he raped me , you want me to see him!" Rachel yelled upset .

"He did what?" Her mom said .

"You let him take me for 5 years mom , you gave up on me and because of that I was traumatized. I can never get those years back , so why would I ever want to see him ." Rachel said and ran upstairs.

I followed Rachel upstairs only to have the door slammed in my face .

"Rachel! Rachel please open up ." I said .

She didn't answer . So I opened the door and saw Rachel in the bathroom vomiting in the bathroom. I sighed and went into the bathroom and held her hair back as she vomited .

Rachel wiped her face and washed her mouth out .

"I need a shower ." She said .

"Okay ." I said .

I was about to go when she stopped me.

"Don't leave me in here alone." She said upset .

"Okay." I said .

She started to undress herself . I turned on the shower and tried not to look at her naked body.

"Can you help me in?" She said weakly .

I nodded and I helped her into the shower . I couldn't help but noticed the scars on her arms and back . I grabbed the wash cloth and soaked it with the hot water . I then began to gently wash her body. I slowly washed her off as she stood there feeling ashamed and hurt . When I finished cleaning her off I grabbed her white robe and put it on her . I then carried her out of the shower and into her bed . She got dress into some comfy clothes and said ,

"What should I do Finn ? How do I face the man who hurt me for 5 years ?" She asked me.

I looked at her and said ,

"I don't know , all I know is that if you wanna do this I'm here for you . I'll go with you , I'll support you in whatever you do , and I will never leave you . So you say the word , and I'll follow." I said .

She took my hand and kissed my knuckles .

"You are the best boyfriend ever." And she kissed me .

I held her and kissed her forehead , wishing I could do me .
