Chapter 1- Senior Year

First day...
Rachel's POV:

*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*

I hear my alarm clock blaring. I slam the button on my clock and turn it off. I reluctantly get up and go to my closet to see what outfit to wear. I grab black ripped jeans and a white shirt. I pick out a tan sweater and wedges. I walk into my bathroom and straighten my hair and brush it. I put on deodorant, and brush my teeth, then walk out of my bathroom. I grab my phone, and my backpack and go to walk out of my door.

"Rachel!" My dad calls

"Yeah dad?" I Say

"Don't forget your keys! They're on the kitchen counter!" He yells

"Thanks!" I yell back, and grab my keys

"Love you guys!" I yell

"Love you too honey have a great day! And tell Finn we said hi!" They yell

"I will!" I yell, and walk out of the front door. I get into my car, and put my backpack in the back. I drive to Finn's house, and run up to the doorway. I knock, waiting impatiently for him to answer the phone, and finally he does

"Kurt oh my gosh what took you so long!?" I exclaim

"I'm sorry! My dad wouldn't get off my back because of Blaine" he says

"C'mon we're gonna be late" I say, and we both go into the car and I start driving

"So, why was Burt giving you a hard time?" I ask him

"Because Blaine spent the night" he says, and I glare at him with a smirk

"Not like that, Rachel. He was upset, and he didn't want to go back home so I just asked him if he wanted to come over. He passed out in my bed and I ended up not sleeping at all." He says

"Why not?" I ask sympathetically

"Because I was nervous as to what was gonna happen. I went on the couch and tried to sleep and it just wasn't working" he says

"Well, cheer up. Finn's gonna be happy to see you" I say, and he looks at me sympathetically

"What?" I ask confused

"He's in a coma, Rachel. Unresponsive. He won't be happy to see us or anything. He doesn't have any emotion, he doesn't move, he doesn't do anything." He says with an upset look on his face and a monotone voice

"Kurt, a girl can hope for the love of her life to come back from a coma" I say

"A guy can hope for his brother to come back from a coma too. But, this brother lost all hope" he says

"Don't say that, Kurt. He'll wake up. I know it" I say, and I make the turn into the hospital

In the hospital...

I walk up to the receptionist desk with Kurt as soon as we walk into the hospital

"Hi, who are you here to see?" The receptionist asks

"Uh, Finn Hudson" I Say with a smile

"Okay. Here are your visitors passes. Your welcome to come here anytime until-"

"8:00pm. I'm welcome to come here till 8:00pm" I say, give Kurt his visitors pass, and we both walk up towards Finn's room.

In Finn's Room...

We get to Finn's room and see Carol sitting there. She's been at his bedside ever since the car accident. The only time she leaves is when Burt comes and physically takes her out of the hospital, or when I'm here. I walk in and see her holding his hand and kissing his head

"Hey Carol" I say sweetly

"Oh, hey Rachel" she says excited, and comes and hugs me

"Carol, how are you?" I ask her pulling away from the hug

"I've, um, been better. A lot better actually. The doctor said that he could wake up any day now so I've been here everyday. I'm glad your here though. I think Burt would have to come and get me if you didn't come here" she says with a faint smile

"Don't worry Carol. I'll call you if anything changes, Okay?" I Say, and she nods. She grabs her stuff, and walk out of the hospital room with a wave. Kurt hugs er on her way out, and then walks in with me

"Hey Finn. It's September 6th, 2011 and it is the first day of ur senior year" I Say holding his hand. "I'm wearing jeans, a shirt, and a sweater." I say. I look over at Kurt, and nod my head towards Finn

He sighs. "Hey Finn. It's Kurt. I'm, really excited to be a senior. Rachel and I were thinking of going to NYADA. You wouldn't know what that is, but it's a performing arts college. For broadway and stuff like that" he says sniffling "please excuse me" He says, and walks out of the room

"He's just taking this a little harder then most people" I say to Finn. "Even though I was in the car accident with you, I think this is worse on everyone else. Even though, that accident really hurt" I Say with a light giggle

FLASHBACK...

I wake up dizzy. I didn't know where I was, or what happened, but I was dizzy and scared.

"Finn? Finn, where are you!?" I exclaim

"Rachel, honey. Oh thank god your awake" I hear my dad say, and hug me

"Ow" I say

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry" he says

"It's fine, dad. But, where Finn?" I ask frantically

"Finn's still in surgery but he should be fine. His injuries weren't that bad. Yours, were a little bad. A broke. Leg, and a sprained wrist. You should heal up in a couple weeks" he says

"That's just so much to process. It seems like only two seconds ago I was in the car with Finn talking about our relationship and next, I'm in a hospital room." I Say upset

"Do you remember anything about the crash?" My daddy asks me

"No. No, I don't remember a thing. Last thing I remember is yelling Finn's name, and we crashed. It was one of the scariest moments of my life" I Say, and they look at me sympathetically

"I wanna see Finn" I say

"We will bring you to see him right after his surgery, Okay?" My dads day, and I nod

"I'm going to take a nap. Wake me up when I can see him please?" I ask, and they nod

A couple minutes later...

"Rachel. Rachel?" My dad whispers, and I slowly wake up

"What is it?" I ask

"Finn's our of surgery" my dadddy says, and I smile

"Great. When can I see him?" I ask with a huge smile on my face. That smile disappeared right after I saw their faces when I said it.

"What happened?" I ask

"What?" My dad asks

"What happened? Finn Gabe me that same look when Shelby died. So what happened?" I ask them

"Finn's surgery didn't go as well as expected. Honey, Finn's In a coma"

END OF FLASHBACK...

"Finn I wish you were up right now. You don't deserve this. You deserve to be living out you senior year. You shouldn't be living like this, and I'm sorry that you have to" I say with my eyes tearing up

"It is September 6th, 2011, and I love you Finn Christopher Hudson. I love you so much" I say, with tears falling down my cheeks. "Oh, and uh, my dads say hi." I Say with a giggle,and hear the door open. It opens to see Kurt

"Can we go now?" He asks, and I look at Finn. I look back at Kurt, and nod. I could tell that he had been crying,but I didn't want to say anything about it. He didn't say anything to me.

At McKinley..
Santana's POV:

I have been so worried about Rachel for these past few months. I mean, she and Frankenteen were finally starting to get Okay again and a car crash happens. It's like Rachel can never catch a break. I was nervous that she wouldn't be here today, but almost as of on cue, she walked in right as I thought it.

"Damn Berry. You actually tried for the first day of school. I don't know whether to be confused or proud" I say, and we both laugh and hug each other

"I'd be both" She says, and I see Kurt walk in next

"Hey Lady Hummel. How ya doing?" I ask him

"I'm fine San. Thanks for asking though" he says,and walk away. I look at him upset, and then look back at Rachel

"He's just upset, is all. It's probably really hard for him to see his brother like that" Rachel says, and I look at her confused

"Rachel, if anyone should be hurting the most, it's you. You were in the car crash with him, you were in the hospital with him,everything was with him. Even your recovery. His? Not so much." I say, and she sighs. "Have you heard from anybody? Like Ouck or Quinn?" I ask her

"Nope. It's like Finn and I didn't even matter. You know,besides my parents, you, Brittany and Kurt were the only ones that visited the hospital to see us?"she says, and I look at her shocked. "Yep. As I thought. People forget quickly when they don't care." She says, and I look at her with an upset look.

"It's fine, Santana. If they didn't wanna visit, it's fine. The important people came and visited and that's what matters. Thank you" she says, and I smile

"It's no problem Rachel. Just trying to be a good friend" I say, reassuring her

"Well, c'mon. Don't wanna be late for Spanish with Mr. Shue!" She says excitedly, and I laugh as she drags me towards the classroom. I see an upset look on her face

"What's wrong?" I ask her

"This is where Finn and I first really met. We were partners for a project. Then he joined glee club and it all just changed. God, I can't believe it's already been so many years since we entered middle school. Let alone elementary" she says, and I laugh

"I mean, I'm growing up, San. I kinda put off growing up for a little. But everything's fine now. I have hope. I have faith. I have both of those and I hope that Finn will miraculously come back from being brain dead and hug and kiss me, telling me we're meant to be" she says, and I smile

"That does sound like something he would do. Especially to you. You know that he loved you right?" I ask her, and she nods

"Yeah,I know. I just wish we both got The chance to say it" She says, and my heart breaks for her

"C'mon Rach. Let's go inside. I don't blame you for wanting to relive those memories, but it's senior year! Let's make some new ones" I say with a smile, and she smiles back and nods

"Okay. Let's go make some new ones." She says, and we walk in

"Hey Mr. Shue!" I say excitedly, and Mr. Shue turns around and smiles

"Hey Santana! Hey Rachel! How are you guys!?" He exclaims

"We're good, we're good. How are you? How was your summer?" Rachel says

"The summer was great, actually. I spent it with Emma in Hawaii, and then we went to New York City for a couple days, and then we spent the last few weeks here" He says, and we smirk at him

"What?" He asks laughing

"When are you gonna put a ring on it, Shuester!?" I exclaim

"Santana!" Rachel exclaims

"What?" I ask

"No , no. Rachel, it's okay. Um, I haven't really thought about it Santana" he says, and Rachel and I look at him like he has three heads

"What do you mean!?" I exclaim

"You guys are meant for each other! Why wouldn't you!?" Rachel exclaims

"Okay, Okay. Go take your seats. Class is about to start" Mr. Shue says with a laugh, and me and Rachel sit down at our table.

Rachel's POV:

As me and Santana sit down at our table, i see everyone walk in. Quinn, Puck, Tina, Mercedes, Mike, all of them. I felt so angry. Angry that they wouldn't come visit Finn and I at the hospital. I mean, what civil person doesn't do that? They all stare at me, I felt it. And because at moments, I looked at them too. I wanted to say something, but I didn't. I was conflicted. I mean, they are my friends. I mean, I think. I guess after the accident, they thought they were rid of me. Well? They were dead wrong.

"Hey, you Okay? With them being in here and all?" Santana asks me, and I smile

"Yeah, I'm fine. They didn't wanna visit me. That was their choice." I Say, and look at the board as Mr. Shue started teaching.

Glee practice..

I walk into glee practice with Santana, since Kurt went home early today, and the room went silent. I looked around confused for a minute, and then I looked at Santana

"I don't care that you guys didn't visit me. You didn't want to. It was your choice" I say with a faint smile, and sit down

"Assholes" I hear Santana say, and she sits down next to me

"Hey, Brit came with you to visit me. She shouldn't be called that" I say, and she looks over at Brit and smiles

"She knows I didn't mean it for her. She understands that you've been going through a hard time with being in the hospital, and Finn. And she understands how upset I am still. She's just, understanding" she says

"I know she is. I just don't want her to get the wrong impression" I say, and look at Puck. He looked so upset. But, more than upset. Lost. I've seen that look before. I saw it every time I looked in the mirror Sophomore year.

"Hey, Puck. Can you come with me for a minute?" I ask him, and he shot his head up.

"Huh?" He asks. It looked like he had been crying

"Can you come with me for a minute? Outside? Please?" I ask, and he sighs and nods. I walk out of the door first, and he follows. We start walking slowly together, and I start the conversation

"So.... how is everything, Puck?" I ask him

"Everything's Fine." He says serious, and doesn't make eye contact with me

"Puck, are you okay? I noticed that you looked a bit off in there. You know you can talk to me right?" I Say

"I'm just, upset. Worried." He says

"About.... Finn?" I ask him, and he nods

"I know that I didn't visit you guys. But that's because I couldn't handle it. As I was walking out of my door to go see you and Finn and tell you guys about our plan for nationals, I got the phone call that Finn was in a coma. I didn't even want to go near that hospital after that. I'm sorry, Rachel. You must think I'm a horrible person" he says tearing up, and his voice breaking

"Puck, I don't think you're a horrible person. I think that you just needed time, and still do. I mean, you and Finn were best friends until what happened sophomore year. This, just, rattled your bones a little" I say

"You know, I can't even remember what our last conversation was? I can't remember what we were talking about, what we were doing, what we were wearing, nothing. And I'm worried that the last thing I said to him was something horrible." He says, and my heart aches for him

"One sec Noah" I say, and pick up my phone

"Hello?" I Say

"Yes hi. This is Dr. Shepherd, the doctor for Finn Hudson. Is this Rachel Berry?" She asks me,and I say yes. "Well, I think you might want to come see Finn." She says, and I stop walking

"Why? What happened? What's wrong?" I ask her

"I think that you should just come see him. It's better that way." She says

"Oh, okay I'll be there right away" I say, and hang up the phone. I start running towards the choir room with Noah running afterme

"Rachel, what happened?" He asks frantically

"It's Finn. Something happened" I say frantically, and run into the choir room. I quickly grab my things and start to head out of the door

"Woah, wait a minute. Rachel,where are you going?" Santana asks me

"Hospital."I say walking towards the door

"What!? Why!?" She exclaims

"It's Finn. Somethings wrong" I say, and walk out of the door. I knew deep in my heart that this wasn't the miracle that I was waiting for. I could feel Finn slowly slipping away from me. I could feel him slowly stop fighting, and stop trying all together. I had to get to the hospital quickly before he stopped fighting forever. I needed to convince him to keep fighting, but how? How do you convince a brain dead person to keep fighting for their life? I'll give you an answer. You don't.
