Turning Tables:

Holy Crap!

"Have you seen her clothes?" the whole table chuckled at Kitty's statement, Beth and Jane just stared in disbelief. Why are these people so mean? They both thought. "You know what they say, those who can't do teach" they were talking about the WMHS's choir director and Math teacher, Rachel Berry, who was wearing a black knee top skirt, knee high socks, black flats, a floral shirt and a checkered vest.

Beth was about to say something, but Jane nudged her twin in the ribs. Yes, Beth and Jane where twins, not identical but fraternal. Jane was giving Beth a look that said 'You better keep quiet or you-know-who is going to be pissed', Beth just clenched her jaw and looked at her "friends", they were all laughing and saying stuff about Rachel Berry, she didn't like it; so instead of staying at the table listening to all the nonsense, she got up and stormed off.

"What's wrong with her?" Kitty said to Jane, because to the school's eyes Beth and Jane were best friends; Jane just shrugged and stared at the retreating form of her sister

Rachel Berry was checking exams in her office, when a beautiful young blonde haired with brown eyes entered the office and sat in the chair that was in front of her desk; she didn't look up, she knew the young blonde was there, they stayed quiet until the young girl broke the silence

"They did it again" she whispered, Rachel looked didn't look up but nodded instead "They are always saying something and of course you won't let me defend you"

Rachel sighed "Honey, I've told you a lot of times to let it go"

The young blonde scoffed "Let it go?! You want me to let it go?! How can I do that if they say all that stuff about you!"

"Honey, calm down"

"Calm down!" she stood up "Don't tell me to calm down, Mrs. Berry or should I say mom!" she scoffed when Rachel finally looked up "Oh, you're going to look at me now that I called you mom?" her eyes locked with her mother's, then she shifted her gaze to her mother's chin, she sat on her mother's lap and caressed her chin "She did it again, didn't she?" she whispered

"What are you talking about?" Rachel said nervously

"Mom" she sighed "She hit you again"

"She-she did-didn't" she stuttered

"Mom" she pressed again "I know, you don't have to lie to me" she kissed her mother's cheek "Please, tell me" she whispered

"She didn't mean it" Rachel closed her eyes "She is…."

"Hurt?" she interrupted "Mom, you can't keep making excuses just to defend her!"

"But it's the truth" she whispered "She loves me and I love her" a tear rolled down her cheek

"Mom…" she whined "You can't keep doing this; she's going to destroy you" she saw that her mother was about to fight back, she held her hand up "I know you love each other, but I'm sick of how she's treating you"

The bell rang signaling the end of the talk, the blonde gave her mother a kiss in the cheek and headed to the door "I love you mom, never forget" then she left the office

"I love you too Beth" Rachel whispered to the wind

Beth was walking down the halls, she was on her way to the choir room; halfway through she found her sister Jane talking with some Cheerios, she grabbed her sister by the arm and yanked her away from the girls.

Jane yanked her arm back and shouted "What's your problem?!"

"I've been looking out for you" she sighed "She did it again" Beth said to her twin sister Jane. Unlike Beth, Jane was a little tan, had brown hair and hazel eyes, she was also taller and thinner than her sister

"Who did what?" Jane asked, she knew what her sister meant but wanted to hear from her mouth the words

"She" Beth spat with fury "hit mom again"

Jane came to a stop in front of the choir room's door and looked at her twin "Seriously?"

Beth nodded "See it yourself"

The twins entered the choir room and found their mother sorting some music sheets while sitting at the piano; she was mouthing some words and shaking her head once in a while.

"Mom?" Jane said unsurely, Rachel tensed but didn't turn around "Mom?" she said again

"Jane, how many times have I told you not to call me mom while we are in school?" the brunette said

"I know but mo-Mrs. Berry" she corrected herself "I was hoping to talk before Glee Club started"

Rachel sighed and turned to face her other daughter, and was surprised when she found both of her daughters in front of her; Beth had her arms crossed and a scowl on her face while Jane was wide eyed at the sight of her mother's face.

Jane approached Rachel and caressed her bruised chin, just as her sister did hours ago. She hugged her mother and felt her crumble in sobs "Shh mom, everything will be okay" she whispered in her ear while rubbing her back.

After a little while Rachel's sobs stopped, she gave her daughter a kiss on the cheek and sat back on the piano's bench; she patted the bench, asking the twins to sit next to her, they complied, Beth sitting at her right and Jen at her left. They stayed in silence, each twin took one of her mother's hands between their own, the action was comforting; Rachel sighed and said "She didn't do it on purpose"

Beth, like always, scoffed, while Jane just rubbed her mother's palm with her thumb. The bell rang and they drifted apart, the twins walked to their seats at the top of the risers while Rachel stood up and carefully wiped her tears away.

Several kids began to fill the choir room; some of them gave Rachel a little wave or a smile, while others just ignored her, everybody took their seats and waited for Rachel to start.

"Okay kids, today we´re going to do something different" she approached the chalkboard and wrote in big letters Get out of the box, all the students were confused at the phrase, sensing their confusion, Mrs. Berry explained "I want you to write in a paper the title of your favorite song or a song that represents how are you feeling or usually feel, then you will placed in the box over there" she signaled the black box that was resting at the top of the piano "And when all the songs are there, each of you will get up and pick up a paper, over the next week, you'll perform the song that you got" she smiled "Questions?"

"Mrs. Berry, what's the point of this assignment?" Brad Johnson, the school's star Quarterback, asked.

"Well Brad, let's say that the song you got is "Lovefool", you'll have to perform the song in front of your classmates, and also you'll have to make your own choreography" she said happily "Now, anymore questions?" the students shook their heads "Wonderful, now, get to work"

The students did as Rachel said, and one by one left their piece of paper on the black box.

"Great, now, one by one please pass to the front and pick a paper from the box"

The first one to pass was Brad; he took out a paper from the box and unfolded it

"No way" he said while shaking his head "I won't do it"

"Brad, please tell us the song you got" Rachel said

"The Climb by Miley Cyrus" the room erupted in giggles and laughs

"Hey!" Rachel shouted, gaining her students' attention "No matter which song you got you're going to sing it" everyone groaned "Now, next one please"

One by one the students got up and picked up a paper, and told the title out loud. Just when Rachel was writing the name of the last student and the song her got, the bell rang.

"Okay guys, you can go"

Santana López was sat at her desk when her Head Cheerio entered her office

"Coach, I want your permission to miss practice today"

"And why is that?" Santana challenged "You're Head Cheerio, you can't miss practice whenever you want"

"She did it again" she simply said

Santana just bit her lip and nodded "You have my permission; you just need to talk to the principal"

"I already talked to her, and gave me permission with the condition of talking to you"

"Okay, you can miss the practice" she sighed, the Cheerio nodded and was about to leave when Santana said "And Jane, take care of your mom"

Once outside Santana's office, she was met by the expecting eyes of her sister and the tired eyes of her mom.

"We can go now"

"She let you miss practice?" Beth said with a tone of disbelief "No way!"

"Yes way!" Jane said mocking her sister's voice, which earned her a shove from her sister "Mom! She shoved me!"

"Beth, don't shove your sister" Rachel said giving a light hit in Beth's head

"But she mocked me!" Beth said

"Jane, don't mock your sister" she gave Jane a little hit too

They headed to the car, got in and started their way home. Jane was driving, with Rachel on the copilot sit and Beth in the backseat; they were in silence; the only sound was coming out from the radio. Beth broke the silence

"Mom?" Rachel made a noise of acknowledge "Why do you let her do this to you?"

Rachel turned around and faced her daughter "Do what?" she raised an eyebrow

"Treat you like shit"

"Beth, language" the brunette scolded her

"Mom, you know it's true" she bit her lip and continued "Do you think that we don't hear how she yells at you at night when you think we are sleep? Don't you know that every time she yells, me or Jane have to sleep with Marley because she gets scared?" she said softly, Rachel was crying at this point "You have to talk to her or leave her before she destroys you, destroys us"

"I-I ca-can't le-leave Quinn" Rachel sobbed "I-I lo-love her too mu-much"

"I know she's my mother too, but mom…" Beth reached for her mother's hand and took it in between hers "She's going to end with you and…" she sighed "Does she know that you're…" she whispered the last part, hoping that her sister wouldn't hear "…pregnant?"

Jane hit the brakes at her sister's statement "Holy Crap! You're pregnant?!"
