My Boyfriend's Back
Flashback
"I'll never forget you Sam I promise. Please don't forget me please." She pleaded to him. He cupped her face, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Never baby, never. I love you Rach." "I love you too", she choked out collapsing into his chest. He repeated to himself over and over again, "Be Strong Sam, Be Strong", as he squinted his tears away.
"Flight 751 from Santa Monica, California to Columbus, Ohio is now boarding."
"Rachel honey, it's time to go." Rachel turned to her fathers and nodded wiping tears from her face. She turned back to the three boys standing behind her. She smiled sadly at them. "Don't cry Rach. You know it just makes it harder for us", one of her best friends, Aidan said looking at his feet. Rachel went over to him and hugged him tightly. "I'm going to miss you Aidan." "I'm going to miss you more Rach." He released her from his embrace and she moved towards Johnny, her other best friend. "Be good Johnny. Try not to kill yourself surfing." Johnny chuckled and pulled her into a hug, "I'll try. Bye Rachie." "Bye Johnny." As soon as Johnny let go of her she jumped into Sam's arms once again, "I love you baby." he whispered in her ear as he caressed the back of her head. "I love you too." She escaped his embrace to look up into his deep green eyes. She sniffled and interlocked their hands. "Hold down the fort for me?" Sam nodded, "Anything for you." She leaned up to him as he brought his lips to meet hers. The kiss was sweet and passionate. Their last kiss.
Rachel picked up her small carry on and looked at all three boys one more time and waved her tiny hand. They waved sadly back to her as she turned her back and walked away with her fathers.
She gave the attendant her boarding pass and looked backed once more. They were all standing still, hand in their pockets watching her walk away. She smiled small and walked through the door.
Sam, Johnny, and Aidan watched as the attendant closed the door. Johnny and Aidan looked to Sam who was still staring at the door. Johnny rested his hand on Sam's shoulder, "She won't be gone forever man." Sam, still staring at the door, replied, "I know but I- I'm just going to miss her." Johnny let his hand slip off Sam's shoulder and looked to Aidan. "We all are."
Rachel sat in her seat by the window as her two fathers filed in after. She looked out the window. She savored the palm trees, the weather, the beaches, and the oceans. As the plane took off, she laid her head to the window and let her eyes close. "Goodbye California."
Hours later, Rachel was shaken awake by her father. "Honey wake up. We've arrived." Rachel drifted her eyes opened and sighed.
Exiting the plane, Rachel could see a man in the distance holding a sign. She squinted her eyes to make out what it said. "The Berry's" They got their luggage and made their way towards the man.
After loading up to luggage, they left the airport and started their two-hour drive towards Lima.
Two hours later, the car pulled up in front of a fairly large house. Rachel got out of the car and stared at the house. Her father moved next to her, "I know it's not California but it's quaint." "Yea, it's definitely not California."
Rachel's been in Lima for almost week. It's the last week of summer and school starts soon. She unpacked and tried to make herself at home but she just couldn't. She video chatted everyday with Sam, Johnny and Aidan. They could see she wasn't happy and it killed them but they tried her best to cheer her up.
By Wednesday night, she couldn't take it anymore. She hated it there and desperately wanted to go back to California. What made it worse is that everything in her room reminded her of California. When she thought about California she thought about her best friends and when she thought about them she thought about Sam.
She reminded herself of California.
And that was when Rachel thought of her brilliant idea. Make herself the complete opposite of herself. She grabbed a pen and paper and started making a list of things she hated. The list contained: sweaters, argyle, show tunes, loafers, dark hair, anything pink and knee-highs. She chewed on the cap of her pen. Rachel dreaded the idea of becoming the opposite of herself but she had to. It was the only way she can forget about California… and Sam.
End of Flashback
Fresh off their Regionals win, most of the glee club was gathered in the choir room as Mr. S chue entered the room. "Hey guys! So let's begin! Wait, where's Rachel?" Puck piped in, "I think she got slushied so she's in the bathroom." Rachel and Puck grew really close after their duet and developed a weird friendship. Mr. S chue was about to speak when there was a knock at the door. Everyone turned to see three tanned boys standing in the doorway, more specifically, Sam, Johnny and Aidan. "Can I help you?", Mr. S chue asked. Johnny smiled, "Yes we're looking for Rachel Berry. Do you know her? Short, long light brown hair, big brown eyes?" The glee club looked at each other. Mercedes said what they were all thinking, "Um we know a Rachel Berry but I'm not sure if we're talking about the same girl." Aidan smiled, "Well is she really short and has a voice like no other?" The glee club nodded, "Then yes, that's the Rachel Berry we're looking for." Puck was eyeing the three suspiciously, "Who are you guys? And what do you want with her?" Before they can answer, Rachel's voice cut them off, "Sorry I'm late Mr. S chue I was- wait what's going on in here?" Sam, Johnny and Aidan all turned to the doorway where Rachel was standing. "RACHEL!", Sam screamed. Rachel dropped her books in shock and smiled brightly. "SAM!" They ran towards each other and Sam picked her up and crashed their lips together.
Puck's stomach dropped and all the glee kids looked to him. Most of them knew Puck liked Rachel.
Oxygen became essential for the pair and they removed their lips from each other's. Sam and Rachel were smiling at each other. Johnny and Aidan looked at each other and nodded, "Hey Johnny" "Yea Aidan?" "I don't know about you but I feel like a sandwich." "Yea me too. What kind?" The two boys were circling Rachel and shouted, "A RACHEL BERRY SANDWICH!" Rachel was then crushed by Johnny and Aidan, as her laugh filled the room.
Rachel was pulled out of her thoughts when Puck yelled, "Rachel, who the hell are these people?" Her smile faded and she slipped out of Johnny and Aidan's grip. "Uh well um this Johnny, Aidan and Sam, my best friends from California." The glee club stared at her, Sam, Aidan and Johnny. Aidan broke the silence, "Rach, what happened to you? You're dressed like my grandma! And since when did you have dark hair?" Rachel flushed in embarassament. Santana decided it was her time to add a comment, "Wait so you're saying Berry didn't always look like this?" The three boys nodded. "Rachie used to have really light hair, and she used to where these really really short shorts, which I loved… and she used to always where bikinis and sun dresses.", Johnny told everyone smiling as Rachel's face grew more red. Santana scoffed, "Yea right." Sam looked at her confused, "You don't believe me? Here take a look?", he reached into his pocket, took out his wallet and removed the picture of Rachel and handed it to Santana. The picture was of Rachel and Sam, Rachel clad in a white bikini and Sam in swim shorts. "Damn Berry, you were hot!" "Let me see!", Puck growled snapping away the picture. Puck analyzed the picture and then looked to Rachel, "Rach, who is this guy really?" Rachel looked up to Sam and he smiled at her. She smiled back, slipping her hand into his.
Rachel smiled nervously and looked to everyone. She shrugged her shoulders as she said three words that left everyone in a state of confusion, "My boyfriend's back."
