Chapter 5
(Present day)
Finns pov :
Its been a week or so since I came back to school and saw Rachel. We only talked for a minute but it was obvious how different things were between us. I screwed up cheating on her, it was wrong and stupid. I walked into glee club and saw her smiling and talking to Quinn and Kurt . I miss her , but she will never take me back after what happened .

"Okay guys so this year we are going to wait for it... New York City!" Mr.Shuester said amd everyone cheered.

"Oh I can't wait!" Rachel exclaimed.

"Dude you were in the Hamptons for the summer didn't you party there too?" Mercedes asked her.

"Yes I may have been doing some partying but I'm back and refresh and this year is a new start for me . No more distractions." Rachel said smiling.

"Good for you Rachel, in fact this year is a new year and speaking of which we are short a member since Matt moved . Anyway I was thinking we could do a little number get people pumped enough to join. " Mr.Shue said.

"Yeah thats sounds great." Mercedes told him. We all nodded in agreement.

"Okay great so here is the somg , practice it and at lunch tomorrow we'll do it." He told us.

"Awesome!" Artie said and everyone clapped and cheered.

(The next day)
We were all outside and Rachel was by the radio but before I could go over the music started :
( Artie )
Yeah I'm out that Brooklyn, now I'm down in Tribeca
Right next to Deniro, but I'll be hood forever
I'm the new Sinatra, and since I made it here
I can make it anywhere, yeah they love me everywhere
(Finn)
I used to cop in Harlem, all of my Dominicano's
Right there up on Broadway, pull me back to that McDonald's
Took it to my stashbox, 560 State Strett
Catch me in the kitchen like a Simmons with them pastries
(Puck)
Cruisin' down 8th Street, off white Lexus
Drivin' so slow, but BK is from Texas
Me, I'm out that Bed-Stuy, home of that boy Biggie
Now I live on billboard and I brought my boys with me
Say whatup to Ty-Ty, still sippin' mai tai's
Sittin' courtside, Knicks & Nets give me high five
I be Spike'd out, I could trip a referee
Tell by my attitude that I'm most definitely from
(All)
New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothin' you can't do
Now you're in New York (new york!)
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for New York, New York, New York
(Finn)
Catch me at the X with OG at a Yankee game
Do I made the Yankee hat more famous then a Yankee can
You should know I bleed blue, but I ain't a Crip though
But I got a gang of brothers walkin' with my clique though
Welcome to the melting pot, corners where we sellin' rock
Africa Bambata home of the hip-hop
Yellow cab, gypsy cab, dollar cab, holla back
For foreigners it ain't for they act like they forgot how to act
(Puck)
Eight million stories, out there in it naked
City is a pity, half of y'all won't make it
Me, I got a plug, Special Ed "I Got It Made"
If Jesus payin' Lebron, I'm payin' Dwayne Wade
Three dice cee-lo, three card molly
Labour Day Parade, rest in peace Bob Marley
Statue of Liberty, long live the World Trade
Long live the Kingdom, I'm from the Empire St. that's
(All)
New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothin' you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for New York, New York, New York
(Artie )
Lights is blinding, girls need blinders
So they can step out of bounds quick
The sidelines is, lined with casualties, who sip to life casually
Then gradually become worse, don't bite the apple leaf
Caught up in the in-crowd, now you're in style
End of the winter gets cold, en vogue, with your skin out
City of sin, it's a pity on the wind
Good girls gone bad, the city's filled with them
(Finn)
Mommy took a bus trip, now she got her bust out
Everybody ride her, just like a bus route
Hail Mary to the city, you're a virgin
And Jesus can't save you, life starts when the church end
Came here for school, graduated to the high life
Ball players, rap stars, addicted to the limelight
MDMA got you feelin' like a champion
The city never sleeps, better slip you an Ambien
(All)
New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothin' you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for New York, New York,
New York
(Mercedes)
One hand in the air for the big city
Streetlights, big dreams, all lookin' pretty
No place in the world that could compare
Put your lighters in the air
Everybody say "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah"
(All)
New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothin' you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for New York, New York, New York
(End of song )
We ended except no one clapped because they were barely paying attention.
(Later)
Later on I was at my locker when Rachel walked up to me.

"Great job today Finn , you did a nice job rapping." She told me.

"Oh thanks , good job to you too." I said.

She smiled and shut her locker,

"Finn, look I know its been a while since we talked but I just , I want to start over. " She told me .

I smiled ,

"So then you wanna get back together?" I asked her.

She looked at me and said,

"No, what I meant is I want to just be friends and just try to get to know eachother again. " She told me.

"Oh yeah I juat thought... you know what forget it , you're right lets just be friends." I said.

"Great." She said.

"Yeah, great." I said depressingly.

" Finn, I forgive you about what happened, but I need time to rebuild myself, to fix my heart up " She told me.

"Rachel I'm sorry, I know what I did was awful ." I told her.

"Don't. " She said, "Finn, what you did was awful but I moved on and so should you." She told me.

"Maybe I don't want too." I said.

"Its been too long Finn. Its time to move on." She said and left.
