Rachel's POV:

I woke up to Mr. Shue standing by the piano going through papers

"Hey, Mr. Shue" I say, and he turns around

"Thank god, Rachel. You were starting to scare me" he says, coming over to me with a glass of water

"Mr. Shue, what even happened? Where is everybody?" I ask him, and he looks at me confused

"Rachel, you fainted. Do you, not remember?" He asks me, and I shake my head

"Rachel, you don't remember what I told you?" He asks me, and I shake my head again

"Mr. Shue, what'd you say? Ya know, before I fainted?"

"You really dont remember?" He asks me

"No, I dont. Why? Was it important?" I ask him, and he looks down at the ground and then gets up

"C'mon. We are going to go to the hospital." He says, and I look at him confused

"Why the hospital?" I ask him while standing up

"You'll find out when you get there. C'mon, let's go" he says, and we run out of the choir room

At the hospital...

"Mr. Shue, why are we here?" I ask him

"One second Rachel" he says, and goes up to the front desk. I can't hear what he's saying, but I know that he's asking for a room number

"Okay, thank you" He says in a normal voice, and he starts walking in the hallway

"Follow me" he says, and I nod. As we were walking down the hallway, I noticed that we were getting closer and closer to Finn's room number. My face changed from confused to sad and angry. I could feel it.

"Mr. Shue, why are we here?" I ask more serious now. Before he could answer, we stop in front of Finn's room. The curtains were closed, so all I could see is through the door. I saw Santana and Kurt sitting there laughing and smiling

"What's goin on, Mr. Shue?" I ask him

"Just go in, Rachel. Someone's in there waiting for you" he says, and my heart starts pounding. I open the door slowly. When I open it, Santana and Kurt look at me, and I could see in their eyes that they were happy. Like, they were whole. As I walked a little closer, I saw Carole too. My mind starting thinking. Was Finn here? No, he couldn't be. He was dead. I watched him die. There's no possible way that he could be here. Carole and I were talking on the phone yesterday about funeral preparations. This couldn't be possible. Carole looked at me and smiled. I walked closer to where I could see who it was. I couldn't believe my eyes.

It was Finn.

I couldn't hold myself together. I started hysterically crying. I covered my face with my hands and just stood there

"Don't cover your face. I haven't seen it in so long" he says, and that's when I got clarity that it was him.

"Go on Rachel. Hug him, hold him. He's alive" Santana said rubbing my back from her chair

I walked closer to Finn, still crying and sat down on the bed

"How do I know that this is real? That I'm not just dreaming?" I ask him, as if to make sure I wasn't seeing things. I brought his hand up and touched my hand that was on my heart. He grabbed my hand, held it for a minute, and then brought it up to his heart. I felt it. I felt his heartbeat. It was still beating, and strong.

"Oh my god, it's really you" I said, still crying, barely breathing, and barely getting words out. Everyone started laughing, and crying. I even felt some of Finn's tears on my shoulder. I didn't wanna get up. I didn't want to get up because I felt like I mute him again.

"Rachel, I'm okay" he says, and I keep crying. "Rachel, look at me" he says, but I couldn't

"I can't." I say

"Why not, Rach?" He asks me sincerely

"Because if I get up again, if I let go, how do I know I won't lose you again?" I ask him, and he sighs. I can tell he was trying to hold in tears

"You can get up. It's okay. I'm not leaving again" he says, and I breathe out deeply, my breathe still shaking. I saw his eyes. I saw him. He wasn't suffering, he wasn't in pain. He was alive, and well. And healed. It was like a miracle had happened.

"How did this happen? How are you alive right now?" I ask him

"Well, it was after you guys had left. They wheeled me out of the room to bring me to the morgue and I started to move. They said I flatlined and was unconscious again for a day, but breathing on my own. The next day I came to, but I wasn't one hundred percent, so I waited until was for them to call anyone. They called my mom first, and then my mom called Mr. Shue" he says, and my heart feels full again. Just then, the door opens again. I expect to see a doctor, but instead, I see Quinn and Puck walk through the door. I look around confused s to why they were here

"We came here to apologize to Finn. For not being there for him when he needed us most" Puck says, and Quinn nods

"I forgive them. I understand how hard it must've been" Finn says, and I smile and hug him again

"I just can't get over the fact that your alive" I say, and I feel him smiling

"Well, I am. I'm alive and well. Nothing to worry about" he says, and I feel safe in his arms. I couldn't bring myself to pull away from him. I felt that as soon as I pulled away, he'd be gone again. I was afraid this was all a dream. I couldn't shake that feeling

"Rachel?" He asks me

"I still can't. I feel safe in your arms, Finn. I feel like it's al just a dream" I say, starting to cry again

"Rachel, this isn't a dream. I'm real, I'm here." He says, reassuring me

"But I watched you die Finn....." I say, and start uncontrollably crying. He hugs me tighter, and I feel his tears hitting my shirt

"Rach..." He says through tears. "You can get up. I promise I'll still be here" he says again, and I take a deep breathe.

"If I get up, and you're not here, I'll be pissed" I say, and everyone laughs

"I promise I'll still be here" he says, and I breathe out heavily.

"If you're lying, I'm gonna be so mad" I say, and everyone laughs again

"Just get up, okay? I'll still be here" he says, and I nod. I get up, and smile. It wasn't a dream after all. He was still here. My Finn, was still alive.
