“What’s wrong?” Finn asks softly, placing his hand on her shoulder, the thought that its regionals jitters dies as she turns to face him. It’s not that” she says, wiping the tears from her face. “I was just thinking about what Mr. Shue said in the choir room today, about the day in high school when he walked up to the roof.” Rachel focuses on his face, her lip quivering and unshed tears shining in her eyes “I’m not going tonight” a tear streaking down her face as she says it, the pain in her face pierces him “I won’t let Sebastian post those pictures” Finn leans in, placing his hands on her face “Hey, no, Rach; we need you” he kisses her cheek “I need you” he leans in and kisses her tear off her cheek “It’s just a picture” he says “it’s not going to have me thinking about it like Mr. Shue” Rachel drops her head, unable to look him in the eye “I’ve thought about it” she says softly, Finn is stunned into silence “Before Glee club I thought about it a lot” she turns her back to him, facing the wall, clutching her arm across her chest to keep from coming apart. Finn grabs her shoulders lightly, pulling her into his chest “But what about Broadway” he says weakly. “You don’t know what it’s like” she says, shivering in his arms “Spending your day cringing as you walk down the halls, hoping no one attacks you” Finn hugs her closer, she turns to face him, tears staining her face “Before glee club I didn’t have any friends, the best I could hope for was a day where no one looked at me” she says, dropping her eyes again she buries her head against his chest “I still tense when I see Santana storming down the hallway; I can’t stop remembering her pushing me against my locker, pouring a slushy down my dress” her body begins to shake as the tears flow faster. “Hey” Finn says, lifting her chin to look into her eyes “That’s in the past, they can’t hurt you anymore. We’re all friends now” he says, kissing her cheek. Rachel averts her eyes “We aren’t friends, they tolerate me because of my voice, they don’t like me. No one likes me” Finn holds her close, his lips graze hers “I like you” he kisses her softly. “Everyone hates me” she says, the fierceness in her tone shocking him “Hey” he says softly “that’s not true” Finn holds her close “No one despises you, we are all friends” Finn kisses her softly “More than friends, we’re family; all of us” Finn holds her for several minutes, keeping her close as she lets out the emotions she’s held on to all this time. After the tears stop they just sit together, Rachel curled up in his arms, after a few minutes Finn kisses her forehead “Come on” he says “We’ve got a competition to win” Rachel looks up and smiles at him “Yeah” she says softly. “And after we win” he says “I’m going to marry the prettiest girl I have ever seen” Rachel blushes; she leans forward and places a chaste kiss on his lips.
Finn watches the Warblers take the stage then looks to the diminutive girl still clutching his arm, he can still see light marks from the tears that marred her face earlier that day under her light makeup as she looks up at him, smiling. He wonders how their stupid feud has affected the boys up on stage; how many have a dark spot hidden inside them covered in hateful words and slushy syrup. “Come on stand, up again” comes the melodic tone from the Warblers on stage, Finn stands and starts to clap. “Why are you cheering your competition?” comes a voice from the side, one of the rival glee clubs. “Life’s too short” he replies “you should try it, come on, get up” Finn smiles as the New Directions stand with him, a small victory against the hate that had poisoned the competition this season. Rachel smiles as she stands with her team, clapping for their rivals ‘It’s so easy for him, changing what people think’ she looks at him in awe ‘It’d never be that way for me’ Rachel laces her fingers with Finn as the Warblers leave the stage. “When you were singing that song” Quinn says “You were singing it, to Finn and only Finn, right?” Rachel nods slightly “He really does make you so happy. I want to support you Rachel, and Finn” Rachel smiles “And come to the wedding, If it’s not too late” Rachel shakes her head and embraces the Cheerio, laughing. ‘Things couldn’t get better’ Rachel thinks ‘Quinn’s going to be there, everyone is coming’ Quinn holds her lightly ‘everyone that matters’ “Face it” Santana says “Quinn’s not coming” Rachel turns “She said she’s coming” Mercedes turns “Finn, out, you can’t see the bride before the wedding” Rachel turns as Finn speaks “We gotta go right now or we’re going to lose our spot” he says “Can we wait just a couple of minutes for Quinn please” Rachel pleads ‘Where is she? She said she’d be here.’ “It’s now or never” Finn says. Rachel turns and sends a second text ‘Where are you??’ Finn and Rachel stand before the justice of the peace, both of their parents, the New Directions (sans Quinn), Mr. Shue, and randomly Sue Sylvester in the corner. “Do you have the license” the justice asks, Rachel nods, holding the document. The justice takes the document, reviewing it. Nodding he turns back to the pair “Good, then let’s begin.” He faces the gathered students “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the joining of Finn Hudson and Rachel Barbara Berry” Will steps away when his phone rings for a second time “Yes, what is it? I’m kind of in the middle of something right now” he whispers. Will nods, the color training from his face as he turns to the kids in front of him “Is she ok?” he asks quietly, “No, yes. I understand” he says, turning back away from the group “Where is she? Yes, OK” Will turns slowly to the group, Rachel’s smile falters as she sees his pained expression “What is it Mr. Shue?” Rachel asks quickly “What’s wrong?” Finn turns to face their director. “There’s been an accident” Will says softly “it’s Quinn” he looks across the gathered New Directions “she just arrived at the hospital” Rachel gasps, turning to Finn, a look of concern on her face; they share a quick look and head for the door, her bouquet of flowers lay forgotten on the floor.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
