Saturday December 18th 2010
Christmas didn't mean much to Rachel Berry but when Kurt asked her to go shopping with him she was sitting at home bored and doing nothing. So, she found herself at the mall on the Saturday before Christmas. This was the most packed of days before Christmas because it meant more people, more crazy shoppers shopping for other people or themselves and it meant long lines and less parking. But, that didn't matter to her because on this day she wanted to get her mind off Finn Hudson. Kurt, knew that Rachel was feeling depressed and lonely after her break up with Finn. So, since he had been out of Dalton and home for the holidays (2 weeks) he was also feeling bored and had nothing to do for the first Saturday since being home.
Kurt called Rachel at 10am in the morning on this day waking her up from a dead sleep. She hated being waken on a Saturday morning because this was HER day to rest in and practice new songs for glee club in January.
"This is your wake up call Rachel Berry." Kurt said once Rachel answered the phone.
"What do you want Kurt?" Rachel ask in a sleepy voice.
"I'm bored, would you like to go shopping with me?." Kurt, didn't love Rachel but he was getting to know her better since his parents wedding and she was growing a little on Kurt's good side.
"It's Saturday Kurt, I would like to just stay in bed and do nothing." Rachel simply stated, she really didn't want to go or do anything on this day cause she knew the malls are packed and there is way too much traffic on the roads. But, that didn't stop Kurt from convincing her to get out of bed and come with him shopping.
"Look. I know you don't want to do anything and I know you must be still in your depression mode over losing Finn but come on Rachel come out and have some fun with me for the day." Kurt, wasn't going to let Rachel's excuses ruin this day for him. He wanted to go out and enjoy this day cause it was a nice day to do the rest of his shopping for Christmas.
"Butttt!"
"But-but-but"
"But, I really don't want to do anything today Kurt."
"Oh, please. Berry look I need to finish my Christmas shopping and I need your help on one present."
"But, Kurt can't a girl get her beauty sleep when she doesn't have anything to do on Saturday morning?."
Rachel was so tired and not in the mood for this on this morning and seriously wanted to be left alone. But, Kurt kept on asking her and she kept saying no until the word FINN came into play.
"Fine, but I still need your help on what to get Finn for Christmas." Before Kurt could hang up the phone Rachel screamed out "ALRIGHT I'M COMING" so loud that it made Kurt's ear pop.
"Good, I thought that word would get you out of that bed." Kurt smiled over the phone and knew that once the name Finn was said that she would jump out of that bed and into Kurt's car.
"Good, That's more like it, I'll pick you up at 1 be ready." And with that Kurt hung up the phone.
1pm
Rachel was waiting inside her house waiting for Kurt to pull up in front of her house. When she saw Kurt's car in front of her house she ran outside closed the door behind her and went to Kurt who was waiting with a happy smile on his very red cheeks.
"Are you ready to go Ms. Berry?" Kurt, didn't even need to say another word after that and took off to the nearest mall outside Lima.
1:45 pm
It only took 45 minutes to get to the mall from Rachel's house. There was not a lot of traffic on the route to the mall and there wasn't a lot of people at the mall either.
"I thought that this is the biggest shopping day of the year. Where is everybody?" Rachel asked as they pulled into the parking lot in front of the mall.
"I don't know, I guess people are just going to the bigger mall today. After all this is the biggest shopping day of the year." Kurt said as he parked his car in a space that was near the front door to the mall.
Kurt needed Rachel's expertise on what to get for Finn for Christmas since this is his favorite holiday and because Rachel Berry knew exactly what Finn likes. So, as they walked through the mall and towards their destination (A sports store) Rachel starts talking about Finn and how much she misses him. Can Rachel get through this holiday (2 week) break without seeing something that reminds her of Finn Hudson?. No, not on this day and not in this mall.
Rachel saw the music store from across the mall and told Kurt that she wanted to go listen to some music. Kurt said it was okay and let her go while he looked in the sports store across the way from the music store.
You see, Rachel & Finn loved going to this mall cause there was a music store that had a recording booth in the back of it. Every weekend her and Finn would go there to pick out some songs for Glee and sing together. Once, they were recording themselves and a lot of people were watching them and were amazed at how beautiful they sounded together.
So, when a song that reminded her of their relationship came on in the music store she started to cry.
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is...
You
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You baby
I won't ask for much this Christmas
I don't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeers click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
Ooh baby
All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me...
Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is...
You
All I want for Christmas is you... baby
As Kurt was looking for something (sports like) in the sports store across the mall from the music store that Rachel loved. He wasn't too sure on what to get Finn and since Rachel ran to the music store he was so out of his league in this store.
"Rachel, what are you doing in here and why are you on the floor?." Kurt asked as he looked down at the girl who was on the floor curled up like a ball.
Rachel didn't answer Kurt she just stayed still/motionless on the floor crying.
"Come on Rachel, let's get you out of here." Kurt kneel d down beside the crying girl and helped her get up. Rachel stood up and the moment Kurt saw her face he knew something happened. He didn't ask just then because he didn't want to push Rachel into saying anything. So, the next logical thing to do was take her home.
Kurt never got his present for Finn because Rachel decided to bale on him and go to the music store. But, Kurt knew what to give Rachel for Christmas. Finn!
