DISCLAIMERS; I do NOT own anything :(
mild course language.
All mistakes are mine.
Original character :)
Rachel sits on her bed, looking aimlessly out of the window. She has had a stressful day, she's been slushied so many times she has lost count; she's been called awful names that one human should never call another human being; her so called friends had avoided her like the plague. All because she had come out to the wrong person. It was all her fault, one stupid mistake has made her life ten times worse than it already was. Why the hell was she stupid enough to trust Quinn? She should of known that Quinn hadn't changed at all. She should of known that it was all some sick twisted joke to ruin her life. How the hell did she fall for it?
She had come home from school, ignored that questions from her dads about her day and ran straight to her room, locking herself in and not spoken to anyone since. Her fathers had tried many times to get her to open the door, or to tell them what was wrong with her. But she couldn't, all she could do was cry. Cry over her bad day, cry over the mistake she made. And most heartbreaking of all was crying over the love that would never be returned. She would never get the girl of her dreams. That is what hurt the most.
Rachel's stomach suddenly rumbles, pulling her out of her inner thoughts. She hadn't eaten since breakfast this morning, as she spend most of the day either in lessons or in the bathroom cleaning in between slushie attacks. She knows she is going to have to leave her room and face the onslaught of questions her dads are going to throw at her. She can't blame them, she is their only child and they want to protect her. She smiles at this thought, the first real smile she has managed all day long. She turns her attention towards the white door at the far end of her room, she can see the silver chain lock, she used to keep her fathers' out of her room for now. Her stomach makes its needs known once again, causing a reluctant Rachel to pull herself off the bed and head down stairs.
As she reaches the bottom of the stairs, she sees her daddy (Hiram) sat on the sofa with his head in his hands, mumbling something to himself, as her dad (Leroy) was pacing around the room whilst shaking his head. She can't help but smile at the situation, despite how serious and heartbreaking everything is, the reaction of her fathers' makes her feel better. She knows she has to say something but she can't think of the right words. How can she make it better? She came home at four o'clock in tears and locked herself in her room. She hasn't been out in three hours or hasn't spoken to either man in that time either. She takes a deep breath before stepping closer to the men
"Daddies?" she says slowly, jumping slightly as both men whip their heads around. "Daddies, I know you are worried and maybe a little mad, and I'm sorry, but I promise once I've had something to eat I will explain everything in full.

Rachel, Hiram and Leroy are sat at the dining room table, with their dinner in front of them. The men aren't touching their food, merely sitting looking carefully at their young daughter. Rachel, however, is trying to make sure her stomach doesn't start eating itself and is sat stuffing her face slightly, not caring how un-lady like she looks right now. She glances up from her plate and notices her fathers' looking at her. She lays her knife and fork down and swallows the food in her mouth.
"I will tell you what happened, but can you both please try not to freak out," Rachel begs looking mostly at her daddy, who just nods slightly. Knowing this is a long story, she shifts slightly in her chair to get comfy.
"Ok, I'll start at the beginning. I've known I'm gay for many years now and over the past year or so I've started to develop feelings for a girl at school. However I knew that she would never feel that way about me, so I accepted that nothing would ever happen... however a couple of weeks ago things started changing." Rachel starts looking down at her plate, as she recalls recent events.
'Quinn walks up to where Rach is staring at her locker. "Hey Rachel," she calls as she gets closer. Rachel looks as confused as everyone else in the hallway. She even looks around to check that Quinn is really talking to her. Quinn just giggles at the move, "Listen Rach, I know I've been the biggest bitch in the world to you and I just want to say how truly sorry I am for all the pain I've caused you. There are no excuses and I know there is nothing I can do to make it up to you but that won't stop me trying", Quinn states helping Rachel take her books out of her locker as she talks. She can't help but smile at herself'.
Rachel shake her head at the painful memory. "Anyway I know I was stupid to fall for that but somehow I managed too. She seemed to be a normal friend I never ever thought anything of it." She continues looking anywhere but at her fathers.
'Quinn walks into school smiling, with her head held high, as she spots Rachel unpacking her locker, she smirks and creeps up behind her. "Boo!" She shouts in Rachel ear, causing Rachel to jump out of her skin and Quinn to dissolve into a fit of giggles. After a couple of moments Quinn's giggling stops and she looks up to see Rachel looking at her with a face filled with rage and a hint of amusement hiding behind her big brown eyes. "Oh come on Rachy, you know you wanna laugh. I can see it in your eyes. Come on. Where's that pretty smile I love so much?" Quinn coaxes smiling when Rachel gives in'.
"But recently things have not gone well." Rachel explains looking up to see how her dads' are taking the news so far. Hiram looked like he was getting ready to kill someone; while Leroy looks like he might cry. Trying to ignore their faces, she presses on with her 'story' knowing she has to tell it all. She starts to recall when things started to go downhill;
'Quinn sits in Rachel's car, she glancing over at Rachel. "Tell me your deepest secret?" Quinn asks, smiling sweetly. Rachel eyes her slightly, clearly not wanted to go into secrets yet. "Come on Rach, don't you trust me?" Quinn presses placing her hand over Rachel's. Rachel takes a deep breath before turning to look Quinn dead in the eye, "I'm... I'm gay." Rachel admits looking down. Quinn sits there with an unreadable expression.'
Just remembering what happened, Rachel feels the pain building. "The next day, I went to school and Quinn had told everyone. And they've been slushing my non-stop since." Rachel finishes, balling her eyes shut. Leroy quickly jumps from his seat and hugs his daughter tight. Hiram on the other hand, sits there trying to not hit something.
"Rachel, honey. What do you want to do baby? Do you wanna move schools? Do you want me and daddy to go into school and speak to Figgins?" Leroy asks, stroking Rachel's hair in a calming manner. As he looks over at his husband, trying to see if he was okay. Hiram just nods his head when he catches his husband looking at him.
"No Dad, I think can deal with it for a while." Rachel replies looking Leroy in the eyes.
Rachel walked through the hallway during break, she was glad that she had only been slushied once all day. However the name calling had gotten worse since yesterday. She had decided to leave early and go home. She heads towards the front entrance when a beautiful brunette walks through the door. She is new, she has the most wonderfully amazing green eyes. As she locked eyes with Rachel, she seemed to stop breathing. The world seems to slow down. Only the two of them seem to exist. Whoever this angel was, had made Rachel's knees go weak and butterflies invade her stomach. Rachel is brought back down the earth, when another student bumps into her and laughs when she falls over. Then she suddenly feels the coldness of a slushie on her face. She closes her eyes to try and ignore the laughing of her classmates. Suddenly she feels a hand on her shoulder. She open hers eyes to see the angel kneeling over her. The girl holds out her hand with a smile and helps Rachel stand up. Rachel sub-consciously keeps hold of the girls hand as they walk to the bathroom to clean Rachel up. The girl however doesn't seem to mind.
"My name is Remi by the way," the girl suddenly says, squeezing Rachel's hand slightly. "I'm new here, but you seem like someone I will get along with." Remi continues blushing slightly.
"EW it's the 'rug muncher'!" someone calls over at Rachel, causing Rach to drop Remi's hand and look down at the floor. Remi immediately takes Rachel's hand back and glancing over a her quickly and smiles.
"At least she is getting some, dickhead," Remi yells back, smirking when the girl blushes and walks away. "Ignore them Babe, I've been called every name under the sun. In truth that is why I left my first school. Once one person finds out you're a lesbian, everyone seems to find out. But I realised that, there is nothing wrong with my sexual orientation. " Remi explains smiling. Rachel is slightly shocked for a moment at the girl's honest.
"Well, my school only found out of I am gay a few days ago so it's all pretty new for me. But I have two gay dads, so it's okay at home." Rachel explains, smiling as they reach the bathroom. "So, random question. Will you be joining Glee club?" Rachel asks getting slightly excited at the thought of Glee. "Oh and I'm Rachel, by the way," Rach says blushing slightly. Remi giggles at Rachel's cuteness.
"Yes, I might actually, I was in Glee at my old school." Remi says smiling.
GLEEGLEEGLEE
Rachel and Remi walk into Glee club holding hands, much to everyone but Britt's distaste. Mr Shue eyes Remi carefully, clearly unaware a new student would be joining the school. Remi giggles and pulls Rachel closer. "Hey sir, I am Remi Benson. I would like to try out for Glee club." Remi informs standing at the front of the room as Rachel sits down. Mr Shue is still so shocked that he just nods. Remi smiles and walks over to the band and whispers her song before moving the mic to the centre of the room. Rachel's mouth drops open as the song start to play.
I think I like you
I don't even know you
But something is telling me that
I think I need you
You're like my thoughts come true
And I can't argue with that.
Remi looks straight at Rachel as she sings. She smirks when she sees Rachel blushing.
You might think we're different from each other,
But we both rock the same heart.
We could be the best if we're together
And I'm telling you, I'm gonna make you mine:
You're exactly what I need.
It's love, love, love:
And what could be better?
You're the sun in perfect weather
And you look so good on me, yeah.
Cause it's love, love, love, love, lo-oooove.
You could say we're different from each other
But we're falling in love.
Brittany and Artie start to hmm softly in the background.
I wanna hold you, curl up and unfold you.
I don't care what anyone says, no.
Cause there's nothing like you,
No one that comes close to giving me what you have.
You might think we're different from each other,
But we both rock the same heart.
We could be a match made up in heaven
If you let me in,
So I can make you mine.
You're the perfect melody.
Remi moves in front of Rachel and grabs her hand, pulling her up with her.
Love, love, love:
What could be better?
You're the sun in perfect weather
And you look so good on me, yeah.
Cause it's love, love, love, love, lo-oooove. (love, love, love, love)
You might think we're different from each other
But we're falling in love.
(Yeah, we're falling! I'ma dance in my underwear!
Yeah, we're falling! Yeah, we're falling in love!)
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
We're falling in love,
Artie takes over, as Remi lightly kisses Rachel's cheek. She knows that even though they only met four hours ago, there is something magical between them and she need to grab it with both hands. She doesn't want to let this chance pass her by.
Yeah, it's love, love, love:
What could be better?
You're the sun in perfect weather
And you look so good on me, yeah.
(You could say we're different from each other but we're falling in love)
Cause it's love, love, love, love, lo-oooove. (love, love, love, love)
You could say we're different from each other
But we're falling in love.
You could say we're different from each other,
But we're falling in. Love.
"Don't get me wrong Rachel, I've never done anything like this before in my life but I really like you. I don't know what it is about you, I know we only met four hours ago but I know there can be something amazing between you and I. Will you give me a chance?" Remi asks gripping Rachel's hands, awaiting her answer.
