Noah walked down the hall grape slushy in hand. He looked over the heads of his classmates looking for her. He could hear his friend behind him egging him on telling him to go for it. His eyes landed on her and made a b-line towards the small frame.
Rachel knew it was coming. It had become like a sixth sense to her. The hairs on the back of her neck stood up and her skin would tingle. Rachel turned searching the halls for what she knew was coming and then she spotted him. Noah was approaching her with his goons behind him all with smiles on their faces. Rachel took a deep breath and then it hit her. The freezing cold invaded her body sending shivers down her spine. Rachel waited until Noah and his friends had passed before she wiped the purple ice out of her eyes. Once her eyes were cleaned out she grabbed her spare clothes out of the locker and went to the locker room to shower and change. Once Rachel had cleaned up she tied her wet hair into a bun taking a deep breath before starting her day all over again.
The day had been like every other day full of insults and hurtful words. The only bright spot in her day was glee and that was quickly becoming darker. Rachel sat in the front of the room in her usual chair waiting glee to start. She was looking down at her hands letting her mind wonder when Mr. Schue came into the room clapping his hands.
"Good afternoon guys how are you?" the group all said fine waiting for the teacher to continue. "Good well we have some new members joining us today. I'm sure you all know Quinn, Noah, Santana, Brittany and Mike." Rachel's head shot up her eyes growing wide. Her heaven had now become her heel. Right in front of her is the person who has done nothing but make her life hell holding hands with Satan in a skirt.
"What are you looking at man hands?" Santana asked when she caught Rachel staring. Rachel just lowered her head again trying to avoid the confrontation. "That's what I thought." Santana snapped at her before taking a seat in an empty row. Rachel just took deep calming breaths while listening to Mr. Schue talk. The moment glee was dismissed Rachel was on her feet and practically running from the room. She thought that the longer she was in the room with those people the more chance they would have to torment her. Rachel was at her locker getting her stuff to go home when Santana walked by her pushing her into her locker.
"Sorry didn't see you there treasure trail." Santana snickered at her while she passed with Puck. Rachel turned her head followed the two with her eyes when she saw Santana pull Puck into a lip bruising kiss. Rachel quickly turned her head away getting her stuff and leaving. Rachel made it outside safely to her car before she let the stress of the day bring her to tears. She rested her head on the staring wheel letting sobs take over her body. Rachel took a deep breath pulling herself together.
"All you have to do is make it home and it will make this worth it." Rachel told herself as she started her car.
Noah opened the door to his head dropping his bag by the door. Taking a deep breath he was surprised he didn't smell food in the air. Usually when he got home from football dinner was almost ready. Walking into the kitchen he saw the stove off and nothing sitting on top of it. Something was off the house was too quite. Taking a deep breath he went upstairs going straight for his room. There she was stand with her back to him. Noah couldn't help the smile that found his way to his lips at the sight of her. He slowly crept up behind her wrapping his arms around her waist resting his head on her shoulder.
"Hey baby." He kissed her neck only to be shrugged off.
"Please do not touch me Noah." Rachel looked at him over her shoulder trying to hide her tears. Noah dropped his head and backed up.
"What did I do this time Rachel?" To Noah it seemed like all they were doing was fighting.
"Really? You really do not understand why I am so upset." Rachel asked as she put her ear rings down on their dresser. Noah just looked at her waiting for her to keep going. "So I didn't see you with your tongue down Santana's throat today?" Rachel was trying really hard not to cry. Noah just hung his head.
"Babe you know it didn't mean anything. It was all a part of the job." Rachel's face turned bright red.
"It's bad enough that I let you call me names and throw slushies' at me but now you have to be with her." Rachel quickly lost the battle to hide her tears away. Noah took a step toward her placing his hands on her hips.
"Babe you know how hard it will be on us if anyone were to know." Rachel just rolled her eyes. "Making out with Santana is just for show the whole time you were the only thing on my mind." Noah was trying his best to smooth the whole thing over.
"When you sleep with her will it be for show?" Rachel asked with so much hurt in her voice.
"Rach you know I wouldn't." Noah was quickly cut off by a sound. Rachel was about to turn and leave the room when Noah stopped her. "I got it." Noah took a deep breath once he was in the hall calm himself down. Noah followed the sound to the other room opening the door slowly. The room was pink and dimly lit. Noah couldn't help the smile that was on his face.
"Hey baby girl. How was your day?" Noah cooed down to the baby who he had just picked up into his arms. The little girl reached up a hand holding tight to his finger. "Daddy loves you."
