Hey it's a new story! The characters might seem a bit OC and sorry for making Santana and Puck quite mean in this one but hey, it's just a story!

Rated T though, just to be safe.

Shelby and Marvin had Rachel, 9. Louise had Santana,16, Puck, 16 with another guy. Marvin married Louise when Shelby left and Quinn and Sam are twins both 16. But Puck and Santana are nine months apart.

Enjoy and Review


I didn't even do anything wrong. All I did was play with my dollies in my room and I might have done it a bit too loudly because Santana came storming into my room and yelled "Rachel shut up! I'm on the phone and all I can hear is you playing with your stupid fake dolls"

"Get out of my room Santana" I spat as well as a nine year old could muster.

"Get out of my room Santana" she mocked me. I turned around and folded my arms attempting to glare at her until she got out of my tiny room. Santana and Puck got their own big rooms while I got this one. I wouldn't of even had my own room unless Louise the step monster got fed up of me in her and my dad's bedroom. I use to have a little bed on the side and now at least I have some space!

"She doesn't even have a head" Santana picked up my Cinderella doll that I might have broken the head off one day when Puck came into my room and started yelling at me. I picked it up and threw it against the wall and then he ran down and told Mom and Dad that I broke one of my dolls again and I got really badly told off for it.

"So what" I scowled. I don't like it when she comes into my room and tries to act cool in front of her friends. I can hear them on the other end on the phone laughing. I know it's probably Quinn because only in front of Quinn she treats me bad and with her other friends she pretends to be nice.

"Don't give me that look Rachel it's so ugly" she says. I stand up "I am not ugly!" and reach for my doll but she raises it higher "Give it back it's mine!" I said jumping up but I still can't reach it.

"Whatever I don't want your stupid dolls anyway just be quiet" she threw headless Cinderella on the other side of my room and walked out. I run over to where my doll landed and picked it up "Don't worry Cindy, you're okay" I said but she can't hear me because she has no ears because she has no head. Maybe I'm just talking to me telling myself I will be alright.

"Rachel!" that sounds like my Mom. Not my real Mom. My real Mom - I don't know where she is but she left me with my Dad who married Louise who already had two kids, Santana and Puck. I wondered if my Mom would ever come back to me but Louise said she won't.

My Step Mom storms though the door and yells at me "Why are you bugging Santana for? Can't you hear that she's on the phone" I shrugged my arms "I'm not" My Step Mom always believes Santana over me even though I really didn't do anything.

And this is how I ended up sitting downstairs on the sofa while my Step Mom let Puck watch Tv and I had to sit quietly while he watched his programmes. I wasn't even allowed to watch my programmes because I was being 'naughty' so I just had to sit there. I don't even see what I always do wrong. But I don't mind it. Because at least my Dad loves me even though he always sticks up for Louise all the time.

If my real Mom loved me she would have came back.


"Noah stop!" I yelled trying to get my step brother to get off my arms. Quinn and Sam were here so obviously he wanted to impress them. I tried to pull away but he was too strong and pushed me onto the wall "Stay there and stop calling me Noah" he yelled.

I jumped up off the wall and shouted "No!"

"We want to play a game Rachel and we can't play it if you're there so just sit down!" he explained. I knew they didn't like me. And didn't like to play with me when Quinn and Sam were here.

"I want to play" I huffed.

"Just let her play" Sam said. I saw Santana roll her eyes "Fine! She can be on your team" she said to Noah. They were playing dodgeball but Noah didn't want me on his team "No she can be on yours" he pushed me towards her.

"No I'm not having her on mine" Santana shoved me back towards him.

"San! No!"

"Come on Puck, just keep her on your team" I'm glad Sam was nice or they would be arguing all day. We got into positions and Noah pulled me backwards "Just stand there and don't get in my way"

Quinn and Santana were against me, Noah and Sam. Noah and Santana argued for a while about the throw and if it counted or not but then suddenly Santana got hold of the ball and instead of aiming at the other two she aimed straight at me.

I screamed as the ball hit me right in the face and I fell down. Sam came up to me but the others stood there until Louise came out "What's with all the screaming?" she questioned looking at me.

"Rachel got hit by the ball" Quinn said.

"Then why were you playing with them then?" Louise came over and yanked me to my feet "Let me see" she hissed as she moved my hand from my eye "It's not even red" she said "If you can't handle it then why did you play with them?"

Louise grabbed my hand and dragged me inside. When I passed Santana she muttered "Drama Queen" and Louise said I couldn't be trusted outside - even though Santana was the one who hit me! - and said I had to sit inside and wait.

I hate to see what she would be like if I had been the one to hit Santana.


My Dad loved to make Louise happy. Louise said something and he did. Louise was a bit nicer to me in front of him but my Dad wasn't even nice to me in front of her! He kept me downstairs when Quinn and Sam came over because Santana and Puck hated it when I was with them because I 'ruined' the game.

I have you know I am a fantastic actor.

Louise and my Dad wanted to talk so they sent me out and said I had to play in the other room. I sighed and walked into the room where some toys were but because they were all Santana and Puck's old ones I weren't allowed to play with them without their permission. But that means i would have to go upstairs and ask them...

I slowly tiptoed upstairs so my Step Mom and Dad couldn't hear me. I could hear all the teenagers laugh and joke in Santana's room and I timidly walked over and knocked the door.

"Tana?"

The door swung open and revealed a very angry Santana "What do you want Midget? Does my Mom know you're up here?" she hissed glaring down at me.

"I was just asking if I could play with your dollies" I whimpered.

Santana shoved me backwards "Are you serious?" she growled. Puck came over and laughed "You're such a baby" he said "Go back down or I'm telling Mom"

"I was just asking!" I yelled. I had enough of this treatment!

"Go away Rachel!" they both screamed before the door slammed shut. I jumped back and sniffled up tears. This was all my fault coming up here. I turned around and saw Louise's angry eyes looking back at me.

I really wished I was looking into my Dad's instead.


For being naughty I had to stay home when they all went out to Quinn and Sam's house. And finally I got to spend time with my Dad. He didn't really talk to me though - he did tell me to start being nicer to Santana and Puck - ARE YOU SERIOUS! but he did talk to me about my Mother and how Louise will never replace her - defiantly - but she was the closest to family I was going to get.

It was all kind of sad. And I told him I was bored and he trusted me. He used the word 'trusted' me to use their iPad. Puck and Santana's iPad. I switched it on and smiled. I loved playing games on the iPad.

I played a game that Puck and Santana loved and always played. You had to collect coins and I wanted to collect lots of them to show them I could do it. But I needed to spend some to get another character, so I used the coins to pay for a new one, and then I got another one and another and another...oh look they're home.

I went up to my room. And buried myself into my blanket because I knew I was going to get into a lot of trouble. And all my toys will probably be taken away. I waited to see how long it would be before they realised.

"RACHEL!"

I release a small cry before I drag myself up and downstairs. I really don't want to know what is coming and they're probably going to be really mad at me for spending all their coins. I'm just so angry with them at how they treat me!

Santana and Puck both screamed at me but Louise screamed the most even with my Dad there but I know if he wasn't then it would have been worse. My Dad told me off and made me empty my pocket money to buy some fake coins for the game. Why couldn't they have done that anyway instead of playing for 'hours' everyday earning them?

I had to sit on the step while Santana and Puck lectured about me and I listened to what they were saying and didn't even hear my Dad defend me. But he did say "I don't now how she did that when I was sitting right here"

And consequently I banned from the iPad and I'm never allowed to go on it again.

It's not like I was allowed to before anyway.


The step has become a thing now. I have to sit on there even though I'm nine years old and I just sit there and do nothing. I feel like I'm too old but there's no where else they can put me. Santana and Puck make fun of me all of the time and when they come past they shove me and call me names. But I ignored them.

It was only recently I had my first blow at them. I was allowed to come into Santana's room for once because I had stayed out of her way for a while since the iPad incident and Puck and Sam were dancing while Quinn and Santana laughed on the bed. When I joined in and made Quinn and Sam laugh Santana got annoyed and stood up to drag me out of the room.

"Let me go!" I yelled struggling and then Puck came up behind me and bent down to pick me up and carry me out. I started screaming and hitting his shoulder but Santana grabbed my wrists and pinned them there so I would stop hitting him. He put me outside the room and I was so mad when they were about to close the door I put my foot out and kicked it back open hard.

I stormed back in and shoved Santana in the stomach before I did the same to Puck "Leave me alone!" I growled at them and for the first time I felt like I had finally stuck up for myself.

But still I ran out of the room crying.

Because I had hurt the people who had given me a home.
