The morning of sectionals...
At Finn & Kurt's house...
Rachel's POV:

I can't believe it's here. Sectionals. My last sectionals. Senior year is incredibly bittersweet, because I'm finally leaving McKinley, the school that made my life a living hell since ninth grade. But, it's also the school that gave me my boyfriend, and the bestest friends that I'll ever have. Ad I'm thinking about leaving this school and going to New York, Kurt interrupts my thoughts

"Ugh, how come Finn has to take forever to get ready. The bus is probably waiting for us to leave" he says annoyed as he comes downstairs

"Kurt, relax. He's probably just finishing up. And I guarantee that no ones waiting for us on the bus" I say, right as I get a text message from Quinn asking where we were

"Okay..... nevermind. They're waiting for us" I say, and Kurt points upstairs

"Fine, I'll go see what's keeping him. Go in the car, we'll be down in a second" I say, and he rolls his eyes and walks out the front door. I walk up the stairs and head to Finns room. As I get closer to Finns room, I start to hear crying. I go to go in Finns room, and the crying gets louder. I open Finns door a little, and see him sitting at the edge of his bed crying.

"Finn? What's the matter?" I ask him, and he shoots up off of his bed, looking away from me, and wiping his eyes

"Oh, uh, hey Rachel. I'm just, uh, getting ready. I'll be down in a minute" he says, sniffling his nose

"Finn..... please. Talk to me..." I say softly, walking towards him

"It's just.... this is our last sectionals. This is the last sectionals that we'll ever be on a stage performing. This is the one thing I always looked forward to in school. Glee is my plan in high school. But it's not like I'm gonna get a scholarship from it. And it's not like I'm gonna get a scholarship from football, even though I'm the damn quarterback! I'm going nowhere in life! I'm going nowhere after high school! I'll have to stay here in Lima, Ohio just waiting for all of my classmates to graduate from Yale, or Harvard, or NYADA, or become an actor, or actress! I'll go nowhere in life! And that sucks, because I don't wanna be a nobody. I want to be, a somebody. And, it's never gonna happen." He says, and takes a pause and sits back down on his bed. "I have no plan after high school. I have nothing." He says, and my heart breaks for him. I've had my after high school plan set ever since I was five. But Finn? He doesn't have any plan. I can't even tell him that I understand how he feels, because I don't.

"Finn.... I can't say that I understand how you feel in the aspect of having no plan after high school. But, I understand the way you feel about high school ending. I mean, I don't want it to end. Because I know that I'm content living here. I have my family, I have my friends, I have you... but when I go to NYADA, I'll have nobody there with me, unless Kurt gets accepted. But, I'm telling you, Finn. You will find out what you want to do. And you never know! You might get your scholarship for football. You can't doubt yourself. I don't. Not one bit." I say, and walk over and sit next to him on the bed. He turns around to look at me, and breaks down. He starts sobbing, and hugs me tightly. I hug him back, probably tighter.

"I love you so much, Finn Hudson. Don't you ever forget that" I say, and he starts calming down

"I love you too, Rach. I love you too" He says, and starts breathing at a steady pace.

"Now... I do love you, and I love having these real talks with you. But are you okay enough to go to sectionals and win this thing?" I ask him, and he laughs

"Yeah.... yeah, I'm ready" he says, and gets his suitcase from the closet, all packed and ready

"Uhm, you packed already?" I say giggling

"Yeah. I packed last night. I didn't have anything to do" he says, and I smile at him. He smiles back, and for a moment, it was just us in the whole world. Our little moment was interrupted by Kurt stomping upstairs and banging on Finn's bedroom door

"Can we go now!?" He yells, and me and Finn laugh a little

"Yeah, Kurt. Let's go" I say, and I look back at Finn and smile once more. Kurt and I head towards the car with Finn not far behind. We all get in the car as I get a call from Santana. I laugh and answer the phone

"We're on our way! Tell Shuester we had something to do!" I say loudly

"You guys are lucky that you're some of our best singers, or else he would pull you from sectionals! You're almost a half hour late!" She screams

"Okay, Santana! I'll call you later!" I say, and hang up

"Was she mad?" Finn asks as he puts the car in drive

"Eh, probably. I didn't let her get another sentence out" I say, and Finn laughs

"Haha, very funny. Let's go!" Kurt yells from the back, and Finn starts to head to McKinley

Before the sectionals performance...

Never in my life would I have thought that in my senior year, I would have an amazing boyfriend, and have been to three sectionals, two regionals, and technically, I have been to nationals. This is the greatest time in my life. Not to mention that this year, we are going to win nationals. I just have a feeling that this is going to be a good year for the glee club.

"Rachel! We're on in like 20 minutes! Are you ready?" Santana asks me, and I smile

"Of course I'm ready. I've never been more ready for any sectionals. Granted, at sectionals two years ago, we basically came up with our set on the fly" I say laughing, and she giggles

"Just make sure you're ready to go. We can't wait for you this year, since you're not featured" she says, kind of teasing me

"Oh would you stop? C'mon, let's go with the rest of the glee club" I say, and we both run over to the rest of the group.

"Okay guys. For most of you, this is you're last sectionals" Mr. Shue says, and starts to tear up. "For most of you, this is the last time you will ever be in a sectionals stage, competing with everyone around you." He says, and takes a deep breath to stop himself from crying. "Make this the best performance you guys have ever put on. Vocal Adrenaline is planning to meet you guys at regionals this year again. Do what you did last year. Win." He says, and puts his hand in the middle of us. "On three..." he says, with two tears falling down his face. We all look around, and smile and nod.

"One, two, three, Ahhhhhmazing!" We all say, and go onto the Sectionals stage one last time.
