ATTN: I DO NOT OWN GLEE
Author's Note: Alright, here's the very last chapter I left it so that if I feel like it, I can update again, but I most likely won't. I want to thank everyone for reading and reviewing. It means a lot to me. Please review after this and look out for my next fanfic. I have something very important at the end and it has to do with this story, so please read.
ON WITH CHAPTER ELEVEN!
11.
"Get out," She shouts. "Get out of my room."
"Rachel, we need to talk about this," Puck sits at the foot of her bed. "It's already noon and you're still in bed. This is obviously affecting you more than I thought it would."
"Of course it is, Noah!" She shrieks, sitting up in her bed and looking at her brother's sad face. "I've never been so disappointed in you. I'm furious towards you."
"You're only mad because it's Quinn, right?" He looks at her with a small smirk on his face, knowing his sister could never stay mad at him for that long.
He robbed a god damn gas station and they were forced to move to Lima, Ohio and she had forgiven him!
No, Puck knows that his sister is only mad about the Quinn part.
She doesn't answer so that confirms his statement.
"How are you not freaking out?" She asks him softly.
He crawls up and sits on the other side of her bed, leaning his head back against her headboard.
"I am, trust me. It's just… I think I might love Quinn," He tells her honestly.
Rachel scoffs loudly. Her brother doesn't know anything about love.
"You don't believe me, eh?" He glances at her. "Well I don't believe myself either. Since when does Puckzilla tie himself down to one girl?"
"When he gets her pregnant," Rachel offers in a light tone, making them both laugh.
"Look, Rach, I'm sorry. I'm a terrible big brother and I'm a failure at life, I know I am. But I need you to know that I do what I can for you. I only do good for you. And this Quinn thing… I'm crazy about her. Ever since we had sex I've been thinking about her. You know that I hadn't even had sex with any girl since then? Yeah, I'm just strung out over her.
"I'm telling daddy and dad. They'll probably disown me and I'll be living on the streets, but I'll take that. I should've been more responsible and I shouldn't be such a god damn failure," He tells her slowly.
Her hand rests on top of his and she squeezes it.
"You're not a terrible big brother and you're not a failure, Noah. Sure you make mistakes, all the time might I add, but you're always going to clean up. You have time."
Puck looks at his sister and suddenly gives her a big warm hug.
"It'll be okay," Rachel quietly soothes. "It'll be okay."
And it will be, Rachel thinks. If there's one thing her brother is good at, it's fixing his mistakes, even though it only lasts for a while.
Later that night Finn calls Rachel and tells her to meet him at the park on the merry go round.
When he gets there she's already there, sitting in the middle with her little red coat on. He can't help the smile that slides across his face. He climbs on the playground equipment and sits across from her.
"So," She sighs. "Last night was quite dramatic."
"Yes," He agrees. "But I'm kind of glad."
"I am too. But I'm also upset that my brother is going to be having a kid with Quinn Fabray. The girl is evil!" Rachel pouts.
Finn chuckles softly, but he can't disagree. Quinn is sort of evil.
"So what does this mean now?" Rachel asks hesitantly.
Finn takes a deep breath and shuts his eyes.
"I don't care about the past or what's going to happen in the future. I'm living in the present and right now, Rachel, I'm… I'm pretty crazy about you," He admits. He's sick of denying it. He likes Rachel Berry and he just needs to tell her this!
Rachel's heart is racing with excitement. He does have feelings for her!
"I wanna be with you, Rachel. Like a real couple," He goes on.
Rachel presses her lips together and nods her head.
"B-But you see, Finn, if I agree to this, if I let you have my heart and then you crush it into a million pieces, I'll never be able to get over it. It will be a heartbreak girls like me will never get over, like Barbra in The Way We Were," She speaks in a shaky voice.
He takes a deep breath before exhaling.
"Well, I have no clue who that is or what that is, but I can assure you that if anyone is going to be breaking a heart in this relationship, it'll be you. I will never hurt you," He assures her.
She smiles softly and looks up at his soft amber eyes.
"You know," She scoots her legs out and lies back on the cool metal. "You can kiss me if you want to."
He licks his lips and positions himself carefully on top of her.
"I want to."
Those last words come out before he presses his lips against hers and he can say that he doesn't see anything when he kisses her.
But he feels something and it's a feeling that he's never felt before.
He's filling up.
For once in his life, he's feeling like a whole, and it's all because of this animal sweater, knee high socks clad mousy brunette. This girl who rocks his socks and can talk her mouth right off. This girl who makes him feel. This girl who he's in love with.
He is, in fact, in love with Rachel Barbra Berry.
And as he kisses her one more time he knows that it's just the beginning.
Rachel relishes in the feel of Finn's lips on hers and she feels like she's never felt with Jesse. She feels on top of the world and her whole body burns with sensation.
She thinks of how she let go of Jesse and that led her to Finn.
For once, giving up was a good thing.
Rachel Berry never would have thought that she could find another person to love her. She wasn't anything special to look at and yes, she was very self-centered and many people disliked her for this. Her first boyfriend cheated on her.
He was it for her; she knew she would never have any other boys knocking down on her door. She wasn't Quinn Fabray. No, she was the landless peasant, still.
But then she gets this amazing boy who loves her for all of her flaws. And the ones she hates the most?
Those are the ones he loves the most.
She couldn't ask for anything more in her life. She looks around at her family, Dad and Daddy sitting on the couch with little Beth, bouncing her up and down happily. Puck and Quinn holding each other's hands and sharing an intimate kiss. Burt and Carole smiling at the scene. Kurt and Blaine discussing the colors they are going to paint their apartment (Chanel grey? It doesn't work with everyone, you know).
Lastly her eyes land on Finn who is sitting down with his daughter on his lap. The little one year old with her dark curly hair and hazel coated eyes. His daughter who is wearing knee socks and a plaid skirt, a sweater with a reindeer printed on it.
Their daughter.
Rachel holds out her left hand, a small diamond ring twinkling, and Finn takes it, his gold ring twinkling. Rings that have a law of eternity.
And by all means, Finn and Rachel plan on upholding that law.
For once in Rachel Berry's life, she hadn't regretted taking advice from her brother Noah. All those years ago, she's glad that she did.
She's glad that she just gave it up with Jesse all those years ago, because he never was the one.
Staring dreamily into those honey golden eyes, she knows who it is and who it will always be.
