***************
After Rachel collapsed on the floor in tears, she heard a knock on the door.

??: Rachel?

Rachel : Go away, Noah.

Puck: * opening door* No way, Berry. Not going anywhere. Are you alright?
Rachel looked at Puck, and threw her arms around him.

Rachel: He is gone, Noah. Just like they all have. Jesse, Finn, Brody. ..they all leave me.

Puck: What am I chopped liver? I was your first boyfriend, and technically YOU left me. I know I said I was breaking up with you, but that was a lie. I was just a dumbass for not fighting for you. I never left you, babe.

Rachel : I don't understand. ..why??

Puck: Douchebag is a loser. He will never understand what it is like to be Jewish or hot Jew like us. See these guns? *flexing*

Rachel couldn't resist giggling. "Your arms are still lovely," she replied.

Puck: You know you still love me, my hot Jewish American Princess.

Rachel felt tears fall, and hid her face in Puck's chest. She felt so broken. She couldn't understand why Sebastian would leave her. HE PROMISED he would never hurt her.

*Flashback *
Sebastian : Rachel Barbara Berry, you are my everything. Every other guy in your life were idiots to let you go. I promise I am not that guy. I love you and promise I'll be by your side forever. Be your biggest fan when you take over Broadway and get your first Tony Award. Will you be mine forever? Will you marry me?

Rachel: I love you, Sebastian. I can't imagine being with anyone else. You promise to never leave?

Sebastian : I promise My Star.

Rachel: Yes, I will marry you.

Sebastian : Yes? Really??

Rachel took his face in her hands, and pressed her lips to his.

Rachel : Does that answer your question?

Sebastian put her ring on her finger before she could change her mind, and kissed her passionately.

Sebastian: I love you, Rachel Barbra Berry.

Rachel: uh uh, it's Rachel Smythe. I love you too, Warbler Sebastian.

Sebastian : I love the sound of that...forever...

*Flashback ends*

Rachel blinked back the tears. She could hear her dads and everyone knocking on the door, asking how she was doing. But, right now she was content in Noah's arms.

Rachel: He promised...

Puck: I know, babe. Right now all I want to do is find that dickhead and beat his ass.

Rachel: Noah, violence isn't the answer.

Puck: Bull Rachel...

Rachel: Never said I wouldn't do it myself.

Puck laughed. "Now There is my baby. I am rubbing off on you. "

Rachel: Heaven help me..

Puck: Do you want me to stay?

Rachel: Maybe later, right now I just want to be alone. If you could tell the others to give me a few minutes to myself I'd appreciate it.

Puck: You got it, babe. *kissing her forehead* I'll be back.

Rachel: Thank you, Noah.

Puck: No problem, babe.

Puck gave her a tight hug, then left the room. Rachel wiped her eyes. As much as she wants to hate Sebastian right now, she felt too numb. She honestly loved him. She tried to text him but he wasn't answering.

Rachel looked in the mirror, touching her engagement ring and started to sing.

You treat this like a game
But it's my heart, and it's breaking
All because of you
The hour glass is running out
And you're still trying to fill it up
But I've lost hope, you should too

But this situation, we're repeating
Overrated is what you've made it
I'm all done, now I'm all out of time

What can I say? What can I say?
When all you do is
Push me away
What will I say to you
When it all comes down to it
Seems like with every word we say
We're slowly fading away

You acted like you cared
But you don't, stop pretending
'Cause you're hurting me
My first impressions disappear
Your tongue-tied words, so insincere
You always do as you please

And this situation we're repeating
Overrated is what you've made it
I'm all done, and now I'm out of time

What can I say? What can I say?
When all you do is
Push me away
What will I say
To you
When it all comes down to it
Seems like with every word we say
We're slowly fading away

I can't talk to you (Talk to you)
You never see my point of view, No
Like I want you to (Like I want you to, whoa)
Feels like I always go unheard
Because your actions speak louder than my words
That's why I always come back to

What can I say? What can I say?
When all you do is (All you do is)
Push me away
What will I say to you
When it all comes down to it
Seems like with every word we say
We're slowly fading away

(What can I say) I'm fading away
(What can I say) I'm fading away. Away
Oh, 'cause it's my heart, and it's breaking
All because of you

What can I say?

Rachel glanced at herself in the mirror, and sighed.

Guess there is nothing left to say, she thought. She laid down on couch in the room and cried until she couldn't anymore.

Meanwhile.....

Sebastian had just got home, and looked around his apartment. It felt lonely, and it was his own damn fault. He was an idiot, but nothing he can do now. He honestly felt he was doing the right thing by walking away. He didn't think it would hurt this much. This is why he never did relationships before. Or feelings.

Sebastian sat on the couch, and grabbed the bottle of vodka he got from his fridge. He took a long sip, until he suddenly heard banging on the door. Sebastian groaned.

Sebastian : Go away...

Thad: Open up, Seb!

Sebastian sighed and reluctantly got up to open the door.

Sebastian : I said, go away.

Thad: Too damn bad. Lucky for you, I don't listen.

Sebastian : I need new friends.

Thad: Look Seb, you're my best friend, but what you need is your ass kicked badly. And if I were you, I'd avoid Puck. And Blaine. Remember fight club??

Sebastian : How is she?

Thad scoffed. He looked at his best friend as if he grew two heads.

Thad: How do you think she is? You not only walked away like a coward, but you humiliated her. What the hell were you thinking? If you didn't want to get married, tell her before the wedding day and to her face.

Sebastian : I know...

Thad: I love you, bro, but you will be lucky if Rachel ever spoke to you again.

Sebastian : She will forget me, make Broadway her bitch, and find someone who deserves her.

Thad : I agree, and meanwhile you sit here drinking your pain away. I know you love her, but dude, you hurt her more than Jesse, Finn, or Brody ever did. Hell Puckerman dated her and didn't leave her. I hate to be harsh, but tough love is needed. Think of that while you spend the rest of your life regretting what you walked away from. I'll always be here for you, but really think about what I've said. Now, get up, take a shower. You look like crap.

Sebastian smirked. His friend's words sunk in, and maybe the best thing to do is leave town. At least for now. Get his life straightened out and comeback to hopefully get his Rachel back.

Sebastian : Thanks bro...

Thad: Anytime.

Sebastian got up to take a shower. He undressed, and got under the stream of hot water and closed his eyes. All he could see though is the woman he walked away from....

Rachel.....

AN: I hope you enjoyed this chapter. More to come... don't worry Smytheberry will be endgame but first got to get through the pain before you can get to the happiness. Love you all.
