Rachel Berry had an amazing showface, she had to. She got ridiculed and mocked but her showface never failed her, it made her look strong when her insides were failing to pieces. When she got refused a solo that's what hurt the most, it may sound selfish but her solos were the only things that made people listen to her. That's why she was so determined, they were her voice, her opinion, her thoughts and her every feeling went into her music and when that was denied that was cutting her off from everything. But she still kept up her showface, so much it hurt.
No one knew of course, except Kurt, but he was at Dalton now, and truth be told she really missed him. She had often contemplated going to see him but always pulled out at the last minute. They had kept in contact through texts, phone calls and skype. And it appeared he was starting to worry about her as his texts became more frequent and more centred around her.
In truth she just wanted to drop the showface, before she came to McKinley she wasn't bossy, controlling, rude and a diva. But she realised when she got to McKinley that was the only way she would get noticed so she conformed became a stereotype, something she had promised herself she would never do but she did and that hurt.
Rachel just wanted someone to tell that to, someone who would understand the real her ,the one that she kept hidden. She thought she had found that in Finn but he never understood, he just broke her heart and she was so tired of it.
Which was why she supposed after there last fight, she was heading down the interstate, searching through her phone contacts for Kurt. She pressed the phone against her ear with shaking hands while she pulled over into a gas station. She heard it dial three times before the phone was picked up.
"Hello" Kurt's soft voice answered the phone and he seemed to be trying to hold back giggles.
"Kurt" Rachel croaked out, surprising herself with the hoarseness of her voice.
"Rachel?" Kurt questioned, all traces of previous laughter now gone from his voice.
"Yeah" Rachel was able to choke out as she felt tears cloud her vision and clog up her throat.
"What happened? What's wrong? Are you hurt?" Kurt rushed out his words becoming a jumbled mess as Rachel listened to the unconcealed panic in his voice.
"Finn and I had another argument. It was pretty bad. I just..I needed to talk to someone. And I'm sorry.. I shouldn't… I shouldn't have.." Rachel chocked out feeling the tears overflow and course down her face.
"Hey, it's okay. I told you to call of anything like this happened. Where are you?" Kurt questioned, all trace's of panic gone from his voice as he realised there was no imminent danger.
"Um, McCray's Petrol Station." Rachel answered looking out at the rusting sign.
"That's only around twenty minutes from Dalton. Don't move okay. I'll bring Blaine and he can drive your car up to Dalton" Kurt spoke already answering all her questions.
She simply complied before hanging up and doing her best to stop the tears and wipe away the smudged make-up. She must have zoned out because next thing she knows her car door is being pulled open and a pair of familiar arms are engulfing her. She smiled and felt the tears trail down her face once more. Rachel also felt Kurt's tears falling into her hair. She pulled back and looked up at him with confusion wrote across her features.
"You shouldn't have to pretend to be someone you're not Rach" He whispered smiling sadly at her before guiding her over to his car to start a journey to a place she didn't realise would start a huge change in her life.
