Two weeks later
Finns pov :
How am I going to get through this ? I asked myself as I got ready for my mother's funeral. Never really thought I would have to say that just yet . I want to believe this isn't real . This is just a nightmare please let this be a nightmare I begged . I looked in the mirror and adjusted my tie . Rachel then came in and said , "Finn?" I turned to her and said , "Yeah?" I asked. "Its time to go to the funeral . Are you ready ? " she asked me. I'll never be ready I thought . "Yeah I'll be there in a second, just go wait in the truck. " I told her . 20 minutes later we arrived at the church. Rachel looked at me , "Are you okay ? " she asked. "Yeah." I said lying . "Finn don't lie to me , I know you're trying to be strong to act like theres nothing wrong but the reality is that your mom died 2 weeks ago and its okay to be mad and upset and cry , you don't always have to be the quarterback Finn its okay to let go. " She told me . "I can't." I said . "But you know you will and when you do I'll be here for you . " She told me. I smiled and held her hand , "I love you , you know that ?" I asked . "I know . " She said and gave me a kiss . We got out of the truck and she took my hand and we walked into the church. I saw Burt and Kurt waiting for us . I smiled and Burt gave me a hug , "How are you doing Finn ?" He asked me. "I'm hanging in there ya know I gotta stay strong for everyone . " I told him . "I get it but you don't have too be afraid to open up . Your mom wouldn't want that . " he told me . "I know . " I said and then walked in to the church.
Rachel pov :
We walked into the church and sat down next to Burt and Kurt . I held Finns hand I knew this was the hardest thing he has ever had to do. Burying your mother is not an easy thing to do, especially when she has single handedly raised you your entire life. I took Finns hand and held it tight as the preist began to speak about Carols life as everyone cried I looked over at Finn and didn't see a tear come down his face. I knew he wanted to be strong but I also knew that eventually he would hit his breaking point . After the funeral everyone went over to our house for lunch we all made speechs about Carol except for Finn I know he's hurting and I keep praying that he will open up to me about it but I know its hard . When my turn came I smiled and said , "Hi everyone , for those of you that don't know who I am , my name is Rachel Berry, Carols daughter in-law and Finns fiancé. The first time I met Carol I remember thinking how nervous I was . But then when I opened that door she smiled at me gave me a hug and said , "You're going to make my son very happy I can feel it . " I am so happy that I got to know Carol and be apart of her family . She was such a strong and amazing women and I hope that I can be half the women she was one day . " I wiped my tears raised my glass and said , "To Carol may she reat in peace . " they all clapped and then drank their glass. I looked over at Finn he smiled at me and then I smiled at him and walked over to him and gave him a hug.
