The sky was starting to get darker as she sat on one of the lounge chairs by the pool in her backyard. Turning her head slowly she glanced at the huge house she use to call her home, now it was just a place for her to take up space in and be lonely, it hasn't felt like a home to her since she was a little girl. When she was thirteen her fathers decided having a teenage daughter was to much and started to take business trips together, at first it was only for a few weeks at a time but then it grew to months at time until they finally decided to just move to a apartment in California, leaving her the house and paying all the bills for her and giving her extra money in her bank account so they wouldn't feel to guilty about it. She wanted to hate them but she couldn't, because they were all she had even if they weren't there for her.
Standing up she looked up at sky shivering at how eerily calm it was, she knew a storm was coming and that brought a small smile to face because she's always loved storms. They always made her calm for some reason and she always loved to sing in the rain. Sighing softly she walked into the kitchen to gather up the snacks and stuff for the Glee movie night that was taking place at her house a little bit. Glee was supposed to be like a family to her, but it wasn't, no one in Glee gave her the time of day. They all hated her and only put up with her because of her talent. She knew the only reason they were even coming over here she because Mr. Schue was making them all spend time together over the summer and her house was the only one they haven't been to yet. As she ripped open a bag of BBQ chips, that Santana and Quinn loved so much, pouring them into a bowl her mind began to wander back to events that happened earlier today when the Glee club met in park.
"Good afternoon everyone." Mr. Schuester greeted as he walked over to group. " I know you guys are wondering why I called you all here to meet before Glee hangout night."
" Duh, So can you please just tell us already so we can leave, Cuz I know that none of us want to spend anymore time then we have to with Man-hands over there than we have to." Quinn replies looking down at her fingernails.
" Q's right and plus I wanna go get my eats on at Breadstix." Santana huffs as she plays with Brittany's hair.
" Okay, ladies just calm down. The reason I called you guys here is cause I want you guys to have a movie night tonight at Rachel's house." Mr. Schue says softly as he looks over at Rachel who's eyes widened.
"No way, Schue." Santana yells.
" You can't make us go to man-hands house." Quinn huffed glaring at Rachel who was looking down at the ground with tears in her eyes.
" No one even likes her. All she cares about is her self and getting all the solos." Mercedes said looking at Kurt who agreed with a nod.
"That's enough guys, Give her a chance and I know that I can't make you go to her house but if you don't then, lets just say that I will be looking for new members." Mr. Schue said sternly looking at all them.
"You can't do that!" Santana yelled.
"I can and I will, Santana. This summer is about hanging out and getting to know each other, but all you guys have done is fight and treat each other awful." Mr. Schue answered shaking his head in disappointment.
" Actually, we all get along just fine, Well everyone but tranny, everything would be great if she wasn't around." Quinn huffed crossing her arms as everyone around her mumbled their agreements.
" Mr. Schue, It's fine if we have the movie night somewhere else." Rachel mumbled quietly as she played with the hem of her top as everyone glared at her. She doesn't get why everyone hates her. She admits at first when the club started all she done was throw a fit about solos and stuff, but now she really could care less. Did they not even notice that she barely ever mumbles two words when they practiced? That she doesn't even sing anymore? Maybe, Quinn was right. Maybe it would be better if she wasn't around at all.
" Rachel, your house is the only one that no one has been at yet. So that's where movie night will be. Now, that is settled how about we go get something to eat?" Mr. Schue clapped his hands together and smiled as everyone got up and followed him to Breadstix across the street, well everyone but Rachel who got up and walked home. It's not like anyone would even notice if she was missing. Mr. Schue wouldn't even notice her gone, he was as bad as everyone else . He wouldn't even try to help her if he didn't need her talent. He doesn't even help at all really, because he still lets everyone yell, tease, bully, and torment her without even as much of batting a eyelash her way.
Rachel was pulled from her thoughts when the front door bell went off. Throwing the chip bag she held in her hands away, she took a deep breath and put on a fake smile walking to the front door. All the acting classes her dad's let her take has really come in handy she thought as she opened the door to let her team mates in.
"Hi Gu-" She started to say only to be cut off by Santana.
" What ever just let us in tranny, so we can get this over with." Santana grumbled as she pushed past Rachel bumping into her. Rachel winced slightly from the contact and gasped quietly as she felt a small yet familiar pain shoot up her shoulder. No one seemed to even notice, well no one but Brittany.
"You okay, Rachel?" Brittany asked softly as she looked at Rachel with concerned look. Brittany may not be the smartest person but she could tell that something wasn't right with Rachel and that when Santana bumped into her, Rachel's face paled a little and she was shivering slightly.
" I'm fine." Rachel whispered putting a small fake smile on. She could tell Brittany was deciding whether to believe her or not, Finally Brittany nodding and lightly hugged her, causing her to wince slightly again.
" Rach-" Brittany started to say but was cut off by Rachel moving away from her and talking.
" Food and stuff is in the kitchen, so just help yourself." Rachel said as she backed away from Brittany to address everyone else, pointing to the kitchen before pointing to the living room. " DVD's are on the selves in there so feel free to pick whatever movie you guy's want to watch. Now, if you'll excuse me have to go make a phone call."
And with that she made a mad dash up the stairs leaving a confused looking Glee club looking after her.
"San, something is wrong." Brittany whispered to Santana as she watched Rachel disappear into one of the rooms upstairs.
"Nothing is wrong B." Santana replied quietly even though she had the same the feeling that Brittany had.
" Berry is weird, now come on and lets go see what vegan crap she calls food." Quinn said as looked up the stairs one last time before walking into the kitchen. She knew Britt was right when she said something was wrong with Rachel, but she has to put up a act. All three of them had to act like they didn't care, well her and Santana did anyways. No one would question Brittany, like they would her or Santana.
"Q, she gots those BBQ chips we like." Santana said excitedly as she ran over to bowl of chips. Quinn could tell that Santana was thinking the same thing as her about Rachel from the look on her face when the diva took off up the stairs.
" Wow, she has all of ours favorite snacks and drinks." Brittany said bouncing up and down only to stop and look at Santana with a confused look.
"What's wrong B?" Santana asked as she grabbed a hand full of chips putting them on a plate.
" I thought Rachel was vegan?" Brittany said as she cocked her head to side a little.
" She is." Quinn replied looking at Brittany trying to figure out why she was asking that.
" But I thought vegan food was nasty and stuff. So why does she have all of our favorite foods?" Brittany asked looking at Santana then at Quinn.
" well-" Quinn started to say but stopped to think. Brittany was right, why does Rachel have all their favorite foods and drinks if she's vegan. No one else bought any special snacks or stuff when they had movie night at their houses, it was always what was in the kitchen or the gleeks brought their own stuff. Quinn was brought out of her thoughts by Santana snapping her fingers in front of her face.
" Q, you zoned out on us." Santana chuckled as Quinn jumped a little. " Now what was you saying before you zoned out and shit?"
"Oh, I don't really know." Quinn shrugged as she looked to see all the others enter the kitchen.
"Dudes, She has like every movie possible in there and a 70 inch flat screen tv." Puck says smiling like a little kid on Christmas walking over to the counter. " All this food for us?"
" I'm guessing it is." Santana shrugged as she still filled up her plate with all her favorite things.
" She got all three of your favorite things?" Kurt asked raising a eyebrow as he looked at all the food on the table.
" What do you mean, Hummel?" Quinn asked looking at him.
" All the food you guys are eating consists of all three of your favorite things. I mean look she has those chips you and Santana are obsessed with and not to mention the cookies and candy you like, and she even got Brittany those gross looking gummi worms. Heck she even put all your guys stuff over here on the table away from all the other stuff. I Don't see why you three get special stuff." Kurt says in a huff looking at all three of them. He was right, Rachel had all their favorite stuff at the table while all the other chips, cookies, and stuff was on the counter. Why did Rachel buy them special stuff? It just didn't make sense.
" Maybe, she was just being nice." Brittany said happily as she ate one of her gummi worms.
"To you three of all people? Really? The unholy Trinity." Kurt huffed louder.
" Hummel, it's not like we asked her to buy this shit. So stop being a damn baby." Santana scowled at Kurt before she turned back to her plate of chips.
" I'm not being a baby." Kurt turned and stomped away to where Tina and Mercedes was.
" He is right though it is a little weird that she got all of our favorite things and no one else." Quinn said to the other two girls as she looked around the room. Everyone was eating and laughing, well everyone but Rachel who still hasn't come back from upstairs. Quinn frowned a little when she realized that the tiny diva has been gone for quite awhile. Looking over at Santana she see's that she is worried about Rachel not being back yet like her.
"Berry, has a huge pool and hot tub!" Puck yells as he opens up the sliding doors that lead to it. All the other Gleeks but the trio follow Puck outside.
Quinn looks at Santana and Brittany before standing up and nodding her head to the direction of where Rachel disappeared up the stairs early.
