They'd been neighbors for as long as they could both remember, yet neither of them had spoken to each other for three years. Blaine and Rachel would spend every second of the day together. They could never be pulled apart but that was until the one day Blaine went to a boarding school at Dalton and had decided to not tell Rachel.

She didn't understand why though. Why didn't Blaine tell her that he was going to board at Dalton? Why didn't he accept any of Rachel's calls from after that one moment between the two? Why didn't he want to keep his friendship with her even though he was far apart from her? Every few months he would visit and not once did she see him come to her house. 'Just why?' She asked herself.

All of those questions just circled through her head. They had been best friends for the longest time, and in less then two days they were pulled apart, which she thought couldn't be possible. Both of them are like strangers to each other now. He probably doesn't even remember her name anymore.

Well, it has been three years and Rachel was just going to have to suck it up and live with it. Constantly, she's reminded of that night where everything seemed to be going perfectly. It was as if she was Cinderella, but it all ended up in a disaster. Having a bad week brought back memories she didn't want to remember and she just needed time to relax this weekend.

Hopefully Finn would come by and they would just cuddle and talk about life in general. Ever since the incident, Rachel has always just needed someone to talk to so Kurt (her best friend) and him (her boyfriend) were there for her. It actually took her awhile to trust anyone for a while besides her dads. Luckily she's doesn't think about the past anymore.

Sadly, she went through a lot too with her mom Shelby too. Believe it or not, she actually had to see a therapist because she couldn't handle all of this at one time. Mental breakdowns and crying everyday was not a good sign. Her dad's knew that they were doing what was best for her. They didn't want their little girl balling her eyes out on a regular basis.

Rachel was getting depressed though from thinking about all of these thoughts so she had to have a different mindset. Luckily, there wasn't much homework for her to complete this weekend so she could have fun with Kurt or rest on her bed. Today was a sunny day in Lima, but she still decided to go down stairs to the family room where she could watch TV and cuddle with her blanket on the couch. First, she went to go say hello to her dad in the kitchen because she was starved and figured that she could eat before having her eyes glued to the TV.

"Morning," Rachel said to him tiredly. For some apparent reason she most certainly did not get enough sleep last night. She could barely stand on her feet this morning, but she still wanted to get out of her house.

"Morning Pinky. Would you like any breakfast. I have it all ready on the table for you this morning. I actually had time to cook this morning. Can you believe that?" Leroy said to her. Rachel giggled as if she were 12.

"Wow, that's surprising. And, yes please. I'm absolutely starved. Where's daddy this morning anyways? Please don't tell me he's looking at motorcycles again. He doesn't realize how dangerous those are," Rachel said to him as she sat down at the table to start eating.

Her dad sat across from her and said, "Don't worry. He went to the grocery store because we were running low on some items, he'll be back in a bit though," Leroy said. Rachel took a few bites from her food. This morning she had baggy eyes and looked like she wanted to just crash in her bed.

"Why are you so tired Rachel? Did you not get enough sleep last night? Because you look exhausted. I hope Finn wasn't here late. Was he? You know how I feel about him staying here late. I told you it was only ok if you stayed down in the family room," Leroy was immediately cut in by Rachel.

"He wasn't even here dad. I just couldn't sleep and had a long week. Things have just been stressful with all of the late rehearsals for West Side Story, and spending so much time preparing for sectionals, which is coming up in a month. I just want to relax for a day. It's been weird though lately because Blaine has constantly been in my dreams this past week. I think I've just been too stressed so it's no big deal. I'm over it and have been for three years," Rachel reassured. Her dad gave her a look that she didn't like.

"Are you sure? I know it's been awhile, but it takes a while to get over things that quickly. I know he really meant something to you, I'm sure you meant something to him also," Leroy said to her. Rachel never told him about that night but her dad knew how important their friendship was.

"He randomly stopped answering my calls and moved away to a boarding school without bothering to tell me? He visits here during winter and spring break and doesn't even bother to come say a simple hello to me? If Blaine was such a good friend to me then he would not have done that," Rachel said to her dad and she knew it was the truth.

"I don't want to talk about Blaine though. Right now he's the last thing I want to have on my mind," Rachel said. Every time she talked about him it just brought back more pain for her to deal with. She didn't want memories of him, but she kind of had to live with the ones that she had already created with him.

"Sometimes every once in awhile you need to talk about these things Rachel hun and I know you don't want to, but it's good for you," Leroy said to her. "These issues don't just go away, we have to live with them for awhile."

"Just, not right now, As tired as I am, I still think I need to get out of the house today; get some fresh air you know? Maybe I'll see Kurt or Mercedes. That will be a nice change from Finn," Rachel said to her dad. She wanted to leave this conversation immediately before it got any more depressing.

"We're going to talk about this later though," and right when Leroy sad that Hiram came in and asked, "Talk about what later?"

"Don't even ask," Rachel said to her other dad. She didn't even want to start with him. Lastly she said, "Thanks for breakfast, I think I'm going to take a shower and then call Kurt to see what he's doing today if that's alright with you?" Her dad nodded and she took her plate to the sink and went up stairs.

Rachel had decided to give Kurt a call first before starting to get ready because she wasn't quit sure of what her plans were today because he may be busy. She might end up staying home all day in her PJ's if he can't hang out and if no ones willing on dragging her out of the house.

Kurt had become Rachel's best friend ever since the Blaine incident. Rachel has practically told Kurt everything except for the drama between her and Blaine. That was something that she had wanted to stay hidden.

"Hello?" Kurt asked clueless not bothering to look at the contact that was calling her.

"Hey Kurt, It's Rachel. I was wondering if you wanted to hang out today. We can go for lunch, then some shopping, and maybe even a movie," Rachel said.

"Well, I have no plans today so I'm happy that you called. I'd love to. I've been sitting around in my room waiting for someone to take me out of this hellhole and give me something productive to do. I'll come pick you up in an hour?" Kurt asked.

"Sounds perfect," Rachel said excited as she just slightly, squealed.

"Bye," Kurt said.

"Bye Kurt," Rachel said to him and she went to her closet to see what she was going to wear noticing that she hadn't taken a shower yet and that she was still in her pajamas.

Finally, after looking through loads of clothes, she found a cute little top with her favorite pair of skinnies. Before putting those on, Rachel went to take a refreshing shower that cooled her down. As soon as she knew it, Kurt was already ringing her doorbell. I put on the last of makeup and grabbed my bag as I walked down stairs.

"Bye dad, bye daddy. I'm spending the day with Kurt so I'll either see you later in the afternoon or tonight. I'll try not to be back late though. Love you," Rachel said as she slipped her shoes on right before leaving.

Leroy then said, "Ok have fun and be safe. Don't be too much of a disturbance to the Hummel's." Her dad's knew she wouldn't be and they were only joking so she laughed and opened the door. Kurt was standing there in a nice lavender polo shirt with, of course everyone's favorite, jeans.

"Ready to spend the day with the amazing Kurt Hummel?" he asked Rachel jokingly.

"I've never been more ready. Tell me it's going to be much better than this weather because it looks like it's going to rain later and I'm hoping a day with the amazing Kurt Hummel isn't a dreary depressing day," Rachel said to him absolutely confusing him.

"I have absolutely no idea what you said, but your day will be the most magnificent day you've had in awhile. So where do you want to go first?" Kurt asked as they both hopped in his car.

"Hmm, how about Macy's?" she asked and Kurt said smiling, "Sounds like a plan."

"Or maybe Bloomingdales, or what about Nordstrom?" Rachel asked as she kept naming multiple stores.

"Whoa, slow down Rachel. Now this is starting to sound more like a mission than a plan. Trust me, we'll hit plenty of shops. I was thinking after that we could go to a movie and then go for an early dinner. Then I'll bring you home later. What movie do you want to see anyway?" Kurt asked.

"What about Limitless? I've heard from many people that it's not that bad and some people said it's amazing. If we don't like the movie, then we'll just leave when we feel like it," Rachel said but they both knew that they would never do that. Neither Kurt nor Rachel ever leaves a movie because they must always know how it ends. It's just something they both have to know, even if it's the most terrible movie in the world."

"Rachel, we both know that that's not going to happen. We'll sit through the whole thing getting fat off of pop corn for a pointless movie and sitting on our buts to just find out that the main character dies," Kurt said.

They both laughed at the fact that that was most likely the truth, which was hilarious. They had shopped from 11:00 to 4:00 nonstop. Not even taking a break for lunch. Both had enjoyed each other's company the whole day and after that movie they couldn't keep their mouth's shut at dinner.

"Man did I wish there were actually pills I could take to become smarter," Kurt said. "Maybe I'd actually figure out how to find myself a boyfriend." They actually both laughed at that comment but they couldn't stop laughing after what Rachel said.

"If only Finn could take a pill to make him smarter, therefore he wouldn't be so clueless talking to a grilled cheese sandwich thinking it had a connection to god," and they both almost fell to the floor dying of hysterics.

Rachel hadn't had this much fun in awhile and she was so glad to be with Kurt. She was though sad when they had split the bill because she knew today was over and that she'd have to go home. Today was definitely a memory that she would hold onto for a long time.

Once they got in the car they were silent because they were just so exhausted from such a fun day. It was only 7:00 though which was early. Rachel would probably watch a movie when she would get home or something. All she knew right now was that she was almost ready to pass out from how much shopping her and Kurt did.

The only exception was when Don't Stop Believing came on the radio and they both burst out into song not able to keep their mouths shut. This was just a song they had to sing along to. 10 minutes later, Kurt had started to pull into the driveway when he said, "You never told me that your next-door neighbors had a son."

"Wait, what?" Rachel asked until she saw him unloading multiple items from his car next-door. Wait, it's the middle of a semester. What was Blaine doing back here? He only visits during breaks.

"The hot guy that lives next-door to you, yeah you never mentioned him to me?" Kurt asked but the question she didn't think that the question was to be answered. In fact it was quite awkward. What if Blaine had heard that?

Neither of them had gotten out of the car. They had stayed in their seats and Rachel was now staring at Blaine unintentionally. Blaine was looking but not necessarily staring because he couldn't tell who it was inside of the car, but she was sure that once she got out he would definitely stare. Kurt was insanely confused and didn't even know who the hell this guy was.

Blaine was unloading items from his car such as luggage and small furniture. Some of it was actually in pieces so he was putting it back together. But why did he have furniture with him? Then a memory trickled into Rachel's mind. She remembered when she had looked through her window and saw Blaine doing the exact same thing he was doing right now except it was temporarily since he had only come home for winter break. Don't forget without the furniture also.

She didn't understand why he was back though and realized that she'd already been in the car for too long. Rachel finally said to Kurt, "I'll explain to you another time Kurt, It's just really complicated, but thank you so much for a fantastic day."

Kurt gave her a tight hug as he said, "Your welcome, we should do this more often. And I am curious about you know who. What if he's attracted to guys, I might have a chance with him." He laughed a little and Rachel knew he was just being funny.

"I'm sorry Kurt, but he's not attracted to guys. You'll find someone sooner or later," he said and Rachel grabbed her bag and got out of the car. She waited till Kurt had pulled out of the driveway to notice that Blaine and her were staring directly into each other's eyes.

As he was working Blaine was wearing a black tight fit t-shirt that contrasted with his slightly pale skin. This shirt really helped bring out his muscles too. He was wearing a black pair of jeans that fit absolutely perfect on him. Rachel couldn't help but think that he had grown into a handsome young man, but what was she thinking? She's with Finn and she wanted to keep it that way. She couldn't help thinking that he was back though, and still what was the reason? Rachel would be pondering about this all night.

Finally though she gave herself the guts to talk to him. As she slowly walked she knew that this would be the hardest thing she would have had to do in awhile.

I just wanted to say thank you to Rach1989 for beta reading my story and helping me come up with fantastic ideas that I could never come up with in a million years. I hope you all liked chapter 1.
