On The Rise

Chapter 1

Brittany was currently helping Rachel get ready for their next performance. They were set to go on in 5 minutes and not everyone was ready. Brittany was so excited for their performance they had been practicing for three months for this day. Rachel and Brittany created the whole dance routine from scratch. Rachel on the other hand was very nervous despite the fact she had years of experience behind her. Rachel was so glad that she had Brittany to help and support her. Brittany has always been there for Rachel even from the beginning.

Rachel and Brittany have been friends since forever. The two girls had met in dance class and became instant friends. Rachel and Brittany both loved to dance so when Rachel joined one of the best dance teams in the country Brittany joined with her and when Brittany started gymnastics Rachel also started doing gymnastics. Things had changed once high school started though. Brittany decided to join the Cheerios while Rachel decided not to, so Rachel asked Brittany if they could keep their friendship a secret as to not ruin Brittany's reputation.

Despite Santana and Quinn always messing with Rachel the two managed to stay friends. Rachel was glad that the two were still friends. Rachel didn't know what she would do without Brittany as her friend. Everyone believed that Rachel had the perfect home life because that was what her dad's portrayed it as but it wasn't like that behind close doors.

Rachel's dads were always fighting and sometimes if she was in the same room as them they would take it out on her. As a result, Rachel learned to stay in her room when her fathers were fighting. Brittany was the only person that knew of Rachel's home life.

Brittany was also glad that Rachel and she had remained friends. Brittany could tell Rachel anything. Rachel knew about Brittany and Santana. Rachel also knew that Brittany's mom was never around anymore since her parents had gotten a divorce. Brittany's mom had won custody over Brittany because her not only had to pay one child support but he also had to pay another child support from a previous marriage. Brittany hated that her mom got custody instead of her father. Brittany hardly saw her father because when ever she tried her mom would put a stop to it. It seemed like the only time that Brittany's mom was home was when she was stopping her from seeing her dad. The only thing that Rachel didn't know was Brittany's love for the Jewish girl.

Rachel and Brittany were broken out of there thoughts by the person on the intercom telling them they had two minutes before they needed to be on stage. Brittany quickly finished Rachel's hair and the two stood by the door waiting for them to call out their team.

"Next we have the four time national ranked dance team from Akron, Ohio the Rhythmic Squad coached by Michelle Rodriguez," the announcer called out.

Rachel and Brittany led the team out onto the stage. Rachel waited for the music to start before beginning the dance steps she had memorized by heart. In the routine there were a lot of dangerous moves. Brittany and Rachel did most of the stunts but they couldn't do all of them. Rachel always got a thrill when she was dancing and flying around on stage. The team nailed a solid routine and place first out of twenty teams. Rachel was really happy that they had won.

After the competition Rachel and Brittany went out to get something to eat before going over to Brittany's house for the night because Rachel really didn't want to go home that night and have he perfect evening ruined by her father's fighting. Rachel knew her dad's wouldn't care because the only time they really noticed her was when they were yelling at her if she was in the room.

Brittany was glad that Rachel had decided to spend the night at Brittany's because just like she expected her mother was no where to be found when she had gotten home from eating dinner with Rachel. Brittany knew she wouldn't be there but was disappointed despite the fact that she had expected it to happen.

The two girls decided to watch some movies before going to bed. Rachel got to pick one movie while Brittany picked out the other one. Rachel picked the last song because she knew it was one of Brittany's favorite when her mother disappointed her. Brittany had picked out Beauty and the Beast because it was her all time favorite movie. Half way through the second movie Rachel had fallen asleep. Brittany looked at the peaceful gaze on Rachel's face and couldn't help but smile. Brittany knew that she would never get the happy ending she so desperately wished for.

Brittany wanted her two girls to get along and be happy. She also wanted to have a relationship with both Santana and Rachel. She knew the second one would never happen not because she did want to date both girls but because she knew that Rachel would never love her like she did. Brittany soon fell asleep with thoughts of her future with Santana and Rachel. Hoping one day she may just get the happy ending she wished for.
