It Never Stays In Vegas
"Rachel, come on! We are going to Vegas. Vegas! And all you can do is work." Quinn Fabray says to her best friend. Tina and Mercedes nod in agreement and Rachel looks around at her three friends.
"I need to finish these papers!" Quinn rolls her eyes at her and sighs, putting her headphones back in and looking out the window of the plane. It's been a long time since Rachel hung out with all three of her friends. With work and acting, she hasn't had enough time for a girls night. That was, until Quinn told her a week ago that she booked flights for Vegas. Now, against her will, she was dragged onto a plane and on her way to Vegas. She looks back down at her papers and sighs before putting them away. She sees Quinn smile and she can't help but smile herself. Vegas is quite a way from New York, her home. That's where she met Quinn. When she was in college at Julliard, she would go to a coffee shop just across the way. Well, she accidentally bumped into a crying blonde, spilling her coffee all over the poor girl. This just caused the girl to sob harder and Rachel looked around frantically. She finally grabbed the girl by her shoulders and pulled her into the restroom. She ran a paper towel under water and began to dab the blonde's shirt with water, trying to remove the coffee stain from the pale pink top. When the blonde girl began to calm down, she watched Rachel as she continued to clean out the stain.
"Why are you helping me?" she had asked suddenly, startling Rachel. Quickly recovering, she shrugged.
"You looked like you needed a friend." Rachel noticed the tiny smile that appeared on the blonde girl's face.
"Thank you." she whispered and Rachel smiled. Eventually, she realized that the stain wasn't going to come out. She apologized profusely to the girl, but she waved it off. Rachel offered to buy her a cup of coffee to make up for the shirt and the girl graciously accepted.
"So, what's your name?" Rachel hesitantly asked.
"Quinn Fabray. And you?" the girls bright green eyes looked into Rachel's deep brown ones.
"Rachel Berry." Quinn smiled.
"I'm sorry about my excessive crying. My boyfriend just broke up with me." tears filled Quinn's eyes again.
"It's ok. I'm sorry though. Don't let this one guy bring you down. He isn't worth it." Quinn smiles again at Rachel. They talked for an hour before Quinn had to go back to her college, NYU. They continued to meet at this place for the next month, slowly becoming best friends. Rachel introduced Mercedes to Quinn and Quinn introduced Tina. Soon, the four became inseparable. When Tina began dating Mike, she was a little distant. Still, they all wanted to take this trip together. Rachel closed her eyes, thinking about her wonderful city. Sure she wasn't a well known actress, but she was trying. In the meantime, she taught. And she loved it. She slowly drifted to sleep and was awaken when Quinn began to shake her. She shot up and Quinn was pointing out the window. The sky was dark and she looked out to see the lights of Vegas. Everything was so bright and all the casinos were lit. She couldn't help but feel a little excited as the plane began its descend. Vegas, here she comes!
Finn Hudson grabbed his coat as he left the hotel to try and find his stepbrother and his boyfriend. Kurt and Blaine dropped him off at his room two hours ago and never came back to get him. There was no way in hell he was sharing a room with those two. He wouldn't even be here if his mom didn't think that he needed to get away from New York. Away from Santana. Kurt and Blaine just so happened to be headed to Vegas and his mom talked him into going with them. Now, they both left him in a city he had never been to before. Living in New York, he knew his way around a big city. This was different though. He wasn't in New York. Thank god he doesn't live in Lima anymore. Coming here from Lima would have been dreadful. He walks to the elevator and quickly gets in. He descends downwards and finds his brother on the phone. He gets there just as Kurt hangs up.
"There you are! Blaine and I have been waiting for you!" Kurt rolls his eyes.
"Why the hell didn't you come and get me then?
"We got...umm...sidetracked. Besides, we thought you would've already gone downstairs to grab some brochures." Blaine comes strolling in then, two cups of coffee in his hands. He fists bumps Finn and they decide what casino to go to for the night. This is their first day in Vegas and they are going to utilize it. They head out, just as four girls make their way in. A blonde girl leads the group as they go in. She walks briskly and with her head held high. The Asian girl and black girl have their arms linked as they follow the blonde. He doesn't see the brunette girl until he walks into her. Literally. She falls to the ground and a few loose papers fall. He quickly bends down and helps her pick up her stuff. When she looks up, his breath catches in his throat as her deep brown eyes stare back into his. Her lips are in a shy smile and her nose is a little on the big size, but it actually looks good on her. She's super tiny too. Like, he towers over her. Then again, he towers over most people. He helps her up and he feels his heart racing. She has a slight blush on her cheeks and she smiles at him.
"Sorry." she says and her voice rings out. He gulps.
"It's fine. I should be the sorry one. I could've crushed you." she giggles ad it sounds like bells. She is about to say something but she looks at her friends in front of her.
"Sorry but I have to go." and with that she walks out of his life as quickly as she came in. That's not how Finn Hudson works though. He doesn't give up that easy. Good thing she's staying in the same hotel. Maybe coming to Vegas was a good idea after all.
So...I started a new story again! Wow. Sorry, but I have had this idea in my head it is just won't go away! This is my favorite story out of all of them right now, and I can't wait to finish it. I hope it was enjoyable and don't worry, the chapters will be much longer! Also, please don't get angry if I don't know some things in this story. I'm going to write what makes sense. In other words, I have never been to Vegas or a casino. Therefore, I don't know much about them. Please refer from using hurtful words and just stick to constructive criticism. Thanks!
