No Strings

chapter 13

Finn laughed, "Yeah, I didn't know my mom and Burt kept it."

"I missed this truck, oh my goodness!"

"I did too. I was sad when I couldn't bring it to New York with me. But, now I'm kind of glad because you can get to places faster by walking."

Corinne smiled, "I agree. I use to have a car in New York. Worst decision of my life."

Finn laughed and they were silent for the rest of the ride until they reached the rock climbing place.

"You ready?"

Corinne nodded and took the hand he was holding out to her so they could walk in.

"Rachel! Come on we need to leave now."

"I don't even want to go out." Rachel said as she exited her room.

"You need to get a boyfriend, Rachel. I'm getting tired of waiting for you and Finn get together."

Rachel sighed, "We could be together." She mumbled to herself.

"What did say?"

Rachel looked up at Quinn who was looking at her curiously, "Oh nothing."

"Okay, anyways, we need to go."

Quinn grabbed her hand and started pulling her out of the door with Puck following.

Twenty minutes later they arrived at the club and Quinn nearly dragged Rachel in.

"Quinn I don't understand why I need a boyfriend."

"Maybe at least someone to-"

"Quinn! I don't want anybody else but Finn!"

Quinn and Puck looked at her surprised, "You what?"

Rachel put her hands over her mouth, "I'm sorry." She said then ran out of the club.

"Damn, I didn't see that one coming." Puck chuckled, Quinn glared at him and ran after Rachel.

"Rachel!?" Quinn said as she entered the apartment.

Quinn walked into Rachel's room and saw her curled in a ball on her bed crying, "Rach, I'm so sorry, I didn't know you liked Finn."

"I didn't know either." Rachel sobbed, "I need to tell you something."

"What?"

"Finn and I have been friends with benefits for a months."

"Damn, my-"

Quinn and Rachel glared at Puck dating him to finish that sentence, "I'll just...leave." Puck said as he walked out of the room.

Quinn looked back at Rachel, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because of those stupid rules we made and we knew you and Puck would make a huge deal out of it like you do for everything else we do."

Quinn sighed, "So, yesterday, when you said you lost you're best friend. What did that really mean?"

"I lost the only person I ever really loved." She whispered.

"Wow, so this is serious."

"And yesterday when he told me he had real feelings for me I fucked up by going by those fucking rules and I told him I didn't feel the same way. And today when you were talking about getting me a boyfriend I could help but think about Finn all day."

"Rachel! You need to call him and apologize!"

"He wouldn't forgive me! I wouldn't forgive me! I wouldn't be surprised if he never talked to me again."
