Tell Me You Love Me

The mess

Don't build a life on something make believe.

That's what I keep telling myself. But I can't help but fall for him. It's all built on his lie Rachel. This isn't your reality. Your reality is you in New York with no one there to distract you....

{2 weeks earlier}
Rachel's p.o.v.
It was just a normal day in my chauffeurs car heading to the theater of funny girl to start my morning warm ups before my matinee, when my manager/best friend Quinn spoke up breaking the silence.

"Excuse me Sir? Can you turn on the radio? I don't want to just sit here in an awkward silence. Especially since Rachel doesn't speak unless she's doing a show." She says sarcastically laughing. I roll my eyes at her.

"Of course, Miss. Fabray." He says then clicks the on button.

"Hey everyone and good morning! I'm your host Finn Hudson. Thanks for tuning in to Manhattans hottest radio show starring yours truly."

"Ooo turn it up! This guy is great!" Quinn says happily. I roll my eyes again.

You see, I'm not the biggest fan of Finn Hudson aka the broadway gossip king. I'm not a fan of any gossip whatsoever to be fair. But he's always on top of all the broadway stars scandals. It's what he's known for. Can you even imagine? Pathetic...

"So before we get on with the music. I've got some news to talk about today first." He starts.

"Oh here we go." I say leaning my head up against the car window annoyed with my jacket hood up and sunglasses on.

"Look who spoke!" Quinn says sarcastically clapping her hands together. I cross my arms.

"And no it's not about any gossip or scandals today. I know, what a surprise." He says with a laugh.

I breath a sigh a relief. At least he won't make up yet another lie about me today....

Oh but there's still tomorrow and an eternity after that..... god damn it.

"I'm actually looking for one lucky girl to accompany me on an all expense paid trip. I can't say to where on air cause it's a secret. They have to be a good actor, sweet, outgoing, maybe even a singer. Oh yea, and likes broadway. Trust me ladies this is no trick or scam. To enter just call in within the next five minutes and whoever is our 40th caller will win. Starting..... now!!!" He says.

Um what? Who does this guy think he is? Trying to make girls compete with one another just to go on a dumb trip with an ignorant jerk. Yeah, not me.

"I'd like to enter my friend, Rachel Berry." I hear a voice say beside me.

"Quinn what are you doing?!!!" I yell suddenly at her. She puts her hand over my mouth to get me to be quiet. I scream swear words into her hand but it's no use since all she can hear is muffled screams.

"Well congratulations Miss.Rachel Berry you are our lucky caller. We will email you all the information tomorrow about your trip with Finn Hudson!!!" I hear an operator say then Quinn ends the call. She slowly turns to face me with a shocked innocent smile.

"I didn't know you were gonna win." She says putting her arms up. I stare at her in shock.

"Quinn I swear to god I'm gonna kill you!!!!!" I scream at her as she covers her ears.

Finn's p.o.v.
"Ok guys sadly that's all for my segment today, but make sure you tune in tomorrow! Oh yeah, also congrats to whoever won the contest!!" I say then take off my headphones and walk out of my studio. I was getting into my car when my phone rings.

"Hey mom." I say sighing knowing exactly what she's about to talk about. I love my mom but she tends to interrogate. A lot.

"Hey hun! Just calling to check in on you! Are you still good for our family reunion this weekend? Oh yeah and are you bringing your special girlfriend?Who by the way, we are just dying to meet!" She rambles on excitedly.

"Yes mom, don't worry." I say starting up my car.

"Ok! I won't be worried one bit. Can't wait, see you soon." She says happily.

"Me too. Ok mom I gotta go, I'll see you soon." I say.

"Ok bye sweetie." She says then hangs up. I set my phone down and start driving.

Truth is I actually don't have a girlfriend. Pretty obvious by now, I know. But that's why I need a girl to pretend to be my girlfriend for the family reunion. I know it sounds crazy but I have no choice, not after what I told my mom.

*flashback*

"So Finn how's your love life going?" Kurt says during dinner. I roll my eyes. Here we go...

All my family looks up at me.

"Wait. Did I miss something? Finn is there a significant other in your life!?" My mom says elbowing me.

"Ugh not again. Mom I really don't want to talk about this." I say putting my head in my hands. She always has to bring up a girl who I am not interested in finding.

"He's totally hiding something!!" My brothers boyfriend Blaine points out.

"Ooo tell us everything Finn!!" Kurt says quickly following Blaine.

"Wait who said I had a girlfriend?!" I said lifting my head up from my hands.

"Oh come on Finn!! Just tell me. I've been waiting so long for my little boy to finally have a girlfriend. The least you can do is tell me." My mom says looking at me with hopeful eyes. Oh gosh. What am I supposed to say now?!

"Fine. I have a girlfriend." I blurt out then mentally slap myself in the face. Well shit...

"I knew it!! Tell us all about her!!!" Kurt says clapping his hands together.

"S-She's great!" I say nervously.

"Go on." My mother chimes in.

"Well uh she's really good at singing. Super pretty and kind. She also loves broadway." Great now I'm digging myself in a deeper hole than I already am.

"A girl that loves broadway?! I already love her." Kurt says enthusiastically.

"Hunny I'm so happy for you! You have to bring her to the family reunion." My mother says cleaning up the dishes.

"Oh I will." I say smiling but dying inside.

*end of flashback*
