Rachel Berry was tired of it all, the name calling, whispering, the teasing but most of all the slushies. That was it, Rachel Berry was giving up.
It was exactly 8:15am when Rachel Berry carefully descended the hallway stairs, trying to be extra quiet this morning, avoiding every creaky step and floorboard. When she reached the hall Rachel quickly picked up her backpack and made a dash for the door but it was too late - she was caught.
" Rachel sweetheart?" Her Daddy called from the kitchen. Rachel dejectedly turned on her heels and walked towards the kitchen door.
" Yes daddy?" Rachel asked, trying not to let her voice wobble.
" Your dad and I were just wondering if you were okay? You didn't say bye this morning." Hiriam Berry asked his daughter, a concerned look upon his face. Rachel glanced in her fathers' direction since the first time she had entered the room, only to notice that the two middle aged men shared the same worried expression. Rachel was touched by their concern. It was almost enough to change her mind. Almost. Rachel soon snapped out of her little daze when her daddy called her name again.
" Yes I'm fine." Rachel answered, not trusting her voice when she spoke.
" Are you sure?" Her dad, Leroy, asked raising his eyebrows slightly, putting down his paper as he studied his daughter.
" Yeah, honestly." Rachel smiled as she masked her uncertainty.
" Okay darling if you're sure." her dad replied returning a genuine smile.
" Why were you in such a rush dear?" Her daddy asked, taking the breakfast dishes to the sink.
" Oh ummm I was supposed to meet Noah at the bus stop 10 minuetes ago." Rachel lied, stumbling over her words slightly.
" Okay we won't keep you. Off you go honey, enjoy school and be home at 5:30 for dinner. We're having Chinese!" Her dad grinned at her.
" Okay bye." Rachel answered, trying to hide the hurt from her eyes.
" We love you." Her fathers said in unison.
" Love you too." Rachel murmered as she slipped out the door. A single tear rolled down her cheek. It killed her to know that that would be the last time she would speak to her fathers or hear their voices again but she had to do this. Didn't she? Rachel had began to sob by the time she had reached her car. Looking at her house for the very last time Rachel got into her car and headed for the lake.
