I'm pretty sure he explains why right after he does it. (I jsut read it and I can't remember, I'm losing it). He doesn't want Rachel's reputation to be damaged - that the basic answer. You could always - and if it's a question for school, go deeper by examining his character and his feelings for Rachel
