Hey, i just came up with this idea too cheer me up a little about Cory's death, i hope you like it. sorry if there's any grammatical error, English is not my first language(:
My name is Rachel Barbara Berry, and I live with my mother Shelby. My dad and my mom were divorced when I was 5. And I lived in Lima, Ohio, and I'm living like a normal 18 years old. Going to high school, hanging out with friends, and fan girling over a teenage singer named Finn Hudson, he's songs are really great, almost every girl in America like him and remember his songs.
One day, I got home from school, and I'm really tired, my history teacher Ms Holliday is fun, but sometimes she gives me too much homework, even I can't handle. I can hear my mom talking on the phone, and so I sit on my couch and turn on the TV, usually there's news during this time. But nothing caught my eye, until one channel reports the most heart breaking news I've ever heard.
Finn Hudson is dead?! How can this happen? The news said that he committed suicide, but they did not found the body yet. I broke down to tears and I can hear my mom hung up the phone and run and sits next to me.
"Rachel, are you okay? Did something happen to you?" she said in panic. I don't even have the strength to answer her. I was really tired from school and now I heard this news.
"Mom, you know that singer I really like? Finn Hudson." I sighed. And my mom nodded. "Yes, you mention his name a couple of time."
I began crying again. "Well, I just watch the news, and they say that he died, because he committed suicide, I don't know what to say mom, he's my favorite singer."
"Rachel, everybody has their own time, okay?" my mom said. "I know, mom. But it's different. he is the one who makes me brave enough to join the glee club, and sing every day." I know that sometimes I get a little too emotional about something, but this is different.
Finn Hudson is the most handsome guy I've had ever seen, even my ex boyfriend Puck is not that handsome, he's a bad boy but he is really different than Finn Hudson. Finn is a singer who has not just a great voice, but also a great personality and I love him so much.
I decided for the rest of the day, I'm going to sit on the couch, bringing the tissue along with me. And watch Finn's DVD concert that I got as my birthday present from my friend 2 months ago.
So that's what I did for the rest of the afternoon. I sing along to every song he sing, and kept on crying while watching it. My mom as usual is talking on the phone, she does this every night. After dinner, she would just run into her room and make calls, sometimes I'm really mad about it because I feel like she neglected me, but then I understands that she is doing this for me.
When the movie ends, I feel really tired because I cried a lot , but I don't care, this is for Finn Hudson. I didn't even do my homework for tomorrow, or study for my History test., all I think about is my idol. So after watching "truth" I force myself to get up to my room and take a shower a little bit. I like showering at night using hot water. I think it helps me relax a little bit. After I'm done showering I change my dress, which, I didn't change since this morning, into a pajama and wrapped myself in the blanket still weeping quietly.
The next morning, I woke up hearing my alarm clock. I feel like my eyes are so heavy, and I don't really feel to wake up but I have a history test today, and I know if I didn't have it today, Ms Holliday will give me a lot of homework plus a lot of lecture which is not great.
So I drag myself up, and I immediately take a shower. I pick the first sweater I see on my wardrobe, because I'm too lazy to search for another one. Although I don't really like this sweater because it has a color of yellow with huge bear on it, I still think this dress is pretty nice. After using my clothes on, I comb my hair a little and put a little make up on my face. I went downstairs and I can smell pancakes form the kitchen. Mom always makes pancakes in Wednesday, sometimes I get bored of it, but I still appreciate that she still cooks for me
I sit at the dining table and I can see mom smiling at me. "Are you feeling better ? I'm making pancakes today." Mom said with a big smile.
"I did feel a lot better mom, and yes you always make pancakes on Wednesday, I still remember that."I said with a slight giggle. "I'm sure today is gonna be one great day." Mom said.
"Why are you so happy mom? Did something happen last night?" I said with a confused look on my face. "Yesterday, I talk on the phone with my new client. He's really rich, and his going to donate his money for the charity me and my friends are working on, surprisingly his really young."
"Well, I'm happy for you, mom." I said. "But Rachel, he wants us to have a meeting here, this afternoon." Mom sighed.
"Here? You mean in our house? Why don't you do it in a café or a restaurant? You always do that." I sighed. I think my mom knows that I'm still a little exhausted about yesterday so she sits next to me and hold my hand "Please Rachel, this is for a good cause, think about it we can help the homeless kids."
"It's just that, I don't feel comfortable there's a guy in our house, people might say bad things. Do you remember last year? Just because a client has one dinner with us, our neighbors think that you are dating him." I sighed. "You don't have to worry about that Rachel, he's really young, probably 3 or 4 age older than you." Mom said with a smile. "Fine, but today I don't have glee club, so I might be home early." I said. "That's totally fine. I'm gonna make you lunch this afternoon." Mom said. "Okay, thanks a lot mom."
After finishing my breakfast, I use a pair of yellow flat shoes to match it with my sweater, and run to my car and drive to school.
When I enter the hallway, I can see my best friend Quinn Fabray putting books in her locker.
"Hey Quinn" I said. "Hey Rachel, did you saw the news yesterday? I can't believe it. I started crying and I'm thinking about you, I tried to call you but your phone was off." She said with a sympathetic tone.
"I did cry a lot yesterday, and I turn off my phone because I need some time alone, like the moment I saw the news, my heart broke into a million pieces." I sighed. I can feel Quinn feel really sorry for me. But she didn't say a word about that. Because today my classes are all the same with her classes, we headed to our first class, Spanish, I'm glad that our first class is Spanish because Mr. Schue, our glee club director is teaching that subject, and he is the nicest teacher you could ever find.
When i and Quinn entered the room I can see my ex boyfriend Puck sitting on the last row, I didn't want to take a seat anywhere near him, but the only vacant chairs for me and Quinn is in front of his table. I take a seat there, and Quinn sat next to me. I don't want to look at Puck's face because it keeps reminding me of what happen six months ago.
"Hey baby, what are you doing here?" I said. He was standing in the front yard of my house screaming my name loudly to the window, probably loud enough for my annoying neighbors to hear. My mom is going on a business trip to L.A so I'm home alone.
"RACHEL, PLEASE LET ME IN!" Puck shouted. "Okay, just a second." I screamed a little at him, so I run down stairs and open the door. When he's inside, he sits on my couch looking tipsy. I sit next to him and I realize that he got bruises on his face. "Puck, are you drunk? I can smell alcohol in your breath and why are there bruises in your face, are you fighting again?" I said. "I'm not drunk, Rach and this bruises are not from fighting, I hit my head on the wall on my way here." He said in a weird tone. But I don't believe it. I know Puck too well, he's not a type of person who will listen to other people, and he definitely knows what he wants.
"You know what, it's up to you, if you want to be drunk all the time or keep on getting into a fight, I don't care anymore. I told you like a million times to stop what you are doing,and I'm tired of hearing your lame excuses." I said. Puck keeps on shutting his eyes and acting like he doesn't understand what I'm talking about.
"Puck, you know that I'm not kidding right?" I said. "Yes, Rachel I know that you're not kidding you told me that a million times too." He said in a sarcastic way. I am done with his actions, all he ever did was getting drunk, getting into fights and regret it after, but always do the same thing over and over again.
"That's it, I've had enough, we're done!" I said. I stand up and walk over to the front door, but Puck stopped me. "What do you mean we're done? I still love you Rach." Puck said. I don't believe him. I even caught him cheating on me about a week ago, he told me that I should forget about it, because that will never happen again, and stupid me, I believe him.
"I can't be with a guy like you again Puck, you're just so brutal, and selfish." I said. I can see his face getting angry but I don't care, he does this a lot of times. "You know what ? before dating me, you're just another Glee club loser, but when you become my girlfriend everybody looks at you differently." He said.
"People look at me differently because the glee club wins the nationals last year. And I'm the captain of the club so they're proud of me. And you? what do you ever do beside sleeping around with the entire school." I said with a loud tone. I can see his face getting angrier and before I make another step towards the door, he slaps my face really hard until I fall to the ground. I can feel the pain, like its burning on my cheeks. I see Puck get surprised, I think because he's drunk he's not really in control of what he is doing. When I try to get up, he helps me and he started apologizing to me, but I've had enough of him, I don't care if he wants to do that to other girls but not with me. I deserved somebody better that him. I walk towards the door and open it widely.
"Please leave my house, and don't ever talk to me again!" I said. He still tries to apologize to me but I don't want to hear his voice anymore, how dare he slaps me when I'm telling him to be a good person.
I snapped out of my flashbacks when I hear my pencil drop from the table and I leaned down and get it. I'm back to think about Puck, since that accident I never saw him with a girl any more, I think that he is still in trauma. But like I said, I never want him to talk to me again, and I've been avoiding him for the last few months. I never told anyone about this, except Quinn, she's the only one who knows about this, and she's been very supportive to me. She keeps on telling me that I should talk about this with Puck, but I'm always telling her that I'm not ready. The truth is, I'm scared that he might hurt me again.
Quinn and I chat a little for awhile ignoring the fact that Puck is sitting behind us. We chat a lot about Finn Hudson's death and a little about fashion. I'm not a really fashionable person, I wear a yellow sweater with a huge bear on it, a short skirt, black stockings, and a pair of yellow flat shoes. Unlike Quinn she's a cheerleader, she wears a lot of nice dress, and she's really famous, and actually she's the one who introduced me to Puck. Quinn and I were friends since we were in kindergarten. And that's why we keep on becoming best friend until now.
After Spanish class is over, I have five minutes before my next class. Quinn and I had decided to buy drinks before going to history class when I get up from my seat I can feel a tap on my shoulder. When I turn my head around I saw Puck. He's the least person I want to see right now.
"Rachel, can we talk for a minute? Alone." Puck said. I really don't want to talk to him right now, but what could I say, maybe this is the perfect time to really finish things up. We go inside the choir room and he closed the door.
"I'm more comfortable with the door's open." I said. "It's okay I just want to talk to you for a minute. Look, Rachel I'm sorry for what I did with you six months ago, I just want you to know that I've changed and I was hoping that I can be your boyfriend again." Puck said. Usually, I trust boys but not with him, I trust him a lot of times, but he keeps on making me disappointed.
"I trusted you a lot of times, and I don't want to trust you ever again, I'm sorry Puck, I think were not meant to be." I said. Before Puck says a single word, I walk towards the door. And I hear Puck screams, "I'm not giving up on you, Rachel I will get you back." But I don't care I just walks towards the door and leaving the choir room. Outside, Quinn has waited for me, she ask me what happen but I just don't want to think about Puck right now, I just want to focus on the history test.
The rest of the day went fine. The history test was not as hard as I thought it would be, and Quinn and I spent a lot of time together like we usually did. Because today I'm tired and a little sleepy because of too much crying yesterday, I decided to go home. I parted ways with Quinn and say goodbye to her.
"Mom, I'm home!" I shout to my mom while opening the door. "Oh, Rachel you're home. I'm in the living room." Mom said. I walk to the living room, and I can see the client my mom has talked about this morning, he has a dark colored hair, and a very white skin, when he turned around to see my face with a smile, I feel my jaw literally dropped, I'm really shocked to see who's seating in my living room. And the next thing I know everything went dark.
I hope you guys like it(:
