It wasn't supposed to happen like this. This wasn't a part of the plan. I just wanted my daughter back. In the back of my mind, I knew I didn't have a case. I'm a high school student who wants full custody of a one year old baby girl. But I wanted her back, so badly.
I went over to Shelby's house. She had started letting me see Beth any time I wanted. I would go over there at least once a day. Even staying for dinner sometime. I just loved spending time with my daughter.
My daughter.
It was Tuesday after school. After Glee Club practice, I went straight to Shelby's place. She had invited me in with a smile and told me Beth was awake. She was cooking, and asked if I wanted to stay for dinner. Of course I said yes. The more time with Beth the better.
"I'll be right back. I need to pick up a few more things for the spaghetti." Shelby said, putting on her coat. "I'll be back in about fifteen minutes." She said, and walked out of the door.
I had been alone with Beth for about five minutes when the plan came into my head. It was perfect. Shelby was gone. By the time she came back, I could be halfway out of Lima with Beth.
But I had to work fast. I found a duffle bag in Shelby's closet, and started stuffing Beth's things in it. Clothes, diapers, Puck's lame picture of a clown pig, etc. I would use my mom's credit cards for other things once I got out of Lima. I once saw on TV that a girl ran away to California. She made the mistake of using her dad's credit card, and they tracked her down. So I would have to empty my mom's bank account as soon as possible!
I grabbed Beth and left. I didn't know where I was going. Maybe I could find a nice motel outside of Lima. Nothing fancy, but nothing with roaches! I drove until the sun went down. I found a motel that didn't look disgusting, and was really cheap.
"One room." I said to the man at the front desk."
"Name?" He asked.
"Rachel Berry" I smirked. I couldn't tell him my real name. They would be looking for me soon.
"Room 208." The man said, and handed me the room key.
"Thank you." I smiled.
The room was surprisingly nice. And big. I actually felt like I was in a hotel room and not a dirty room where post-prom couples come to have sex. Plus it was the perfect size for a crib.
I put the crib together, and put Beth in it. She quickly went fell asleep. I smiled down at her. She was all mine now.
And nothing was going to change that.
