This is how I would have loved Rachel to find out and I will continue it even after this weeks episode of Glee.
I, Rachel Berry, still cannot believe I got the role of Fanny Brice. This has been a life-long dream But it still doesn't feel complete. I thought I'd be married to Finn by now. I haven't spoken to him in what feels like forever. It might be on exaggeration but I used to talk to him everyday for nearly four years so it feels like forever. I'm going to call him. A part of me still loves him. He deserves to know.
I take out my phone and dial his number. It takes a few rings but he finally answers. "Finn! Guess what? I got the ro-"
"R-Rachel?"
"Carole?"
"Oh R-Rachel!"
"Why are you crying?"
"I-it's..."
"Carole?!"
"Hi Rachel."
"Burt?"
"Yeah. Um... we're really glad you called."
"Where's Finn? I need to tell him something important."
"That's the thing. Rachel, honey, um.. Finn's... He's... dead."
I was in tears. I dropped the phone and fell to my knees. Kurt came into the room. "Rachel! What's wrong?!" He said as he fell to my side.
I kept crying. He grabbed my phone and put it on speaker. He didn't know who it was so he said,"Hello? Why is Rachel crying? Did something happen to Barbara?"
"Kurt?"
"Dad?"
"Yeah. Nothing happened to Barbara. Ugh! I can't say it again. Here gimme."
"Carole?"
"Hi K-kurt."
"What happened?"
"Kurt, sweetie, F-Finn's... d-dead."
"What?!"
"Please don't yell at me!"
"I-I'm sorry... How?"
"A girl found him lying on the sidewalk a few blocks from your apartment. She recognized him from one of the glee performances. She called an ambulance. Once they made it to the hospital, it was too late. He... he over-dosed."
"Why would he do that?!"
"We don't know. There is a note for Rachel. We haven't read it."
I was still crying but I grabbed the phone from Kurt's hand. "We'll catch the next flight over." I shouted. On the other end you can hear Carole crying all over again.
"I'm sorry, Rachel."
I sniffled. Burt's always caring for other people before himself. He sometimes feels like another dad to me.
"Thanks, Burt."
"Any time, honey."
Kurt said goodbye and so did I. Right away Kurt and I packed our bags. Santana came back from her girlfriend's house. I didn't expect her to cry... But she did. I guess he had some impact on all of our lives. She packed. We went to the airport and bought tickets. We leave in ten minutes. This is not how I wanted to see Finn again.
What you guys think? Tell me! I cried while writing this so it better be good!
