The Start Of Something New
A/N: This is the first thing I've written and so reviews would be nice, I don't know if anyone wants me to continue with this so if you do let me know:*
Tick…tick…tick…
This was the only sound that could be heard throughout the Berry household, the Berry men, Hiram and Leroy were away on one of their many business trips and their little star, Rachel Barbra Berry was sat on her bed, her arms wrapped tightly around her legs which were tucked up to her chest and her chin resting gently on the top of her knees as tears rolled thick and fast down her cheeks.
She was dreading the next day, when she returned home from glee her fathers would be home meaning she would have to put on a brave face once more. She couldn't talk to either of them anymore, if she tried to tell them what was going on at school they would only turn around and tell her to stop being such a drama queen and that she couldn't keep running to her dads every single time she had a little spat with one of her friends.
Rachel had tried talking to her dads before, a few years ago when the slushies, the shoving and the name calling had first started, but they had brushed it off telling her it was just a phase Rachel knew different but she also knew that pestering her fathers about it would only cause them to get angry with her so she let it go and the bullying wasn't mentioned again.
Glancing over at her clock Rachel saw that it was already 1am and if she wanted any hope of remaining composed through the torment tomorrow she was going to need at least a few hours sleep, rolling over onto her side; her knees still tucked up tights against her sides she drifted into a restless sleep.
Rachel was jolted awake at 7am by her alarm clock, she crawled out of bed and examined the damage that a late night and constant crying had done. Her eyes were red and dark due to the lack of sleep and her cheeks were puffy because of the tears. Hoping a shower and a little makeup would hide it Rachel turned and headed into her personal bathroom turning on the water and stepping under the hot jets of water that were beginning to relax her tight muscles.
30 minutes later she stepped out of the shower grabbing a towel off the rack and wrapping herself up in it as she walked back over to the mirror, the shower had helped her cheeks were no longer puffy and her eyes looked a lot less red however she would still need a touch of makeup to hide the evidence completely.
She sighed turning to her wardrobe to pick an outfit. Today was a day where she didn't want to stand out and so she decided on a simple navy blue skirt and white blouse. She dried and curled the ends of her hair before applying the makeup to cover her tired eyes. She was ready for whatever would be thrown at her. Or so she thought.
