Hey. I would just like to thank everyone who has reviewed, alerted and favouroted this story it means a great deal. I hope you enjoyed this chapter as much as you did the last one. I haven't been able to update because of camps and study for school etc. As much as i love Glee its never been my favourite show. I'm a hardcore Vampire Diaries fan (stelena, forwood & Jeremy and Anna FTW) and Kevin Williamson has bought me into the world of the secret circle even tho I can't believe they killed NICK! Me and my friend however are thinking about making a podcast for glee soo ill keep you posted on when and if we actually start. But anyway here is the second chapter of crushed.
Kurt had rung Rachel's not moments later. He was yelling at her, but secretly he knew that was what she needed, otherwise she would have cracked soon. He was ecstatic when Rachel said that she would come over to see him and Blaine at Dalton. However when she got there most of the Warblers had heard the news, they all looked at her sympathetically, one thing led to another and she was helping them prepare for the next round of competitions.
Rachel became the honorary warbler. She loved the club it gave her a great sense of satisfaction to be in a club that cared about her, listened to her and just liked her as a person. She had given them so many new ideas, she even wrote a song for them. Wes and Thad always cheered her up. David and Blaine reassured her when things were tough. Kurt had become a brother to her. They were so similar it was scary, but they knew each other like the back of their hands.
Rachel still hardly ever went to school. She was either spending time with herself at home (while her parents were away on business trip) or at Dalton. It wasn't that she was getting bullied anymore. It was the opposite; they all seemed to fear her. But, she couldn't care less; she's done with caring for that place and 'them' anyway. When she stepped into the hell hole everyone parted immediately. Most people looked away avoiding her. They all saw the video. New Directions were the laughing stock of the whole town. Even Mr Schuester was slushied.
Rachel didn't enjoy watching her former club suffer; they thought they had dealt with enough. That didn't stop her from laughing along with everyone else. She didn't know if she actually meant it.
Flashback:
After Rachel left everyone was stunned they were all lost in their own thoughts...
Santana was bruised, but that pain didn't hurt the most. She knew everything Rachel said was true. She was a bitch. She corrupted Brittany, and her innocence. Britt was never the idiot, it was always her. It was the first time she was being honest to herself. Every time she looked at Brittany, she looks at the innocence she robbed and how she didn't deserve her.
Brittany was no good in subjects, but she had predicted something like this happening someday soon. People called her 'dumb' maybe she was. But she's was good at seeing people's emotions. All Brittany ever wanted was for everyone to be happy. So she likes to tell random jokes about gay sharks and Lord Tubbington. She knew Rachel was hurting, throughout the fake smiles. Rachel's eyes were the only thing Brittany needed to look at and see the pain. She couldn't help but wonder if it would be different if she were there helping Rachel through.
Matt really was nothing in this school. He was just another football player cheerio's would like to bang. He enjoyed being in glee, it made him different. He was always quiet, this always allowed for him to observe everything that happens. He knew that his so called 'friends' enjoyed insulting Rachel over and over again. He also knew this club was nothing without her. When she payed no attention, the club was confused on what to do next. Matt wasn't surprised when they didn't win at Regional's. They blamed her. It was their fault. He never did anything to prevent her from getting hurt though and for that he'll always have that knot in his stomach reminding him on his failure as a team mate.
Lauren didn't like anyone in this club. She teamed up with the head cheerleading coach to try and get them humiliated. It had worked. Noah 'badass' Puckerman for falling in love with her. Santana for going Lima heights on her but instead getting beaten. Dont get her wrong Lauren had feelings, it wasn't for Glee. Today she felt proud, glee finally got humiliated and that one of their own had done I. They all really deserved it through all the crap they put Berry through.
She was right, he was wrong again. Everything Rachel said was true, he was supposed to the teacher. He acted like another teenager. Mr Schue did care, of course he cared. But he was busy and let them tramp over the top of her. He never stopped it. He did help after, but then again he just sent her to Emma. Rachel was right he was the adult version of Finn.
Artie never helped them or her. But he was very selfish its true sometimes he could be a tad bit annoying. He was once friends with Rachel. But now they don't even know each other anymore. She was always helping others even if sometimes it was in the wrong way. She was always sticking up for others, even when they never stuck up for her. To Artie it wasn't a surprise she snapped and had enough he would've as well. They basically destroyed her. They were responsible.
Mercedes maybe black and proud, but she felt guilt; she shouldn't have let anyone trample over her. She was disappointed in herself. She wanted to be beyonce, but she was way too arrogant. She was selfish; she cared about herself more than she cared about the innocent annoying but friendly diva. Even though they were friends she felt cowardly and disappointed in herself.
Tina never meant to turn into a bitch...it just happened. She wanted to fit in. Even if it meant doing something, she once had to deal with, bullies. Officially she hated herself again. All she wanted was to have a normal life and status in the school, not geeky, not arrogant, not emo but they all seemed to help her cope. She became different over time, she was wrong, she destroyed herself.
In glee Mike was known as the quiet over achieving guy. He hardly spoke, so inadvertently he never spoke anything mean. He didn't prevent it either. He always wished he had the courage to stand up for the others. But, being bullied as a kid lowered his self-esteem. He never had the courage for anything. He was going to change, he wished it was before Rachel had broke and at her expense, but he was going to change for the better.
Finn Hudson, quarterback, glee lead and co-captain had what everyone said to be the perfect girlfriend, but only cause she was head cheerleader. He loves her, like really loves her. Then why isn't he happy? He should be, any normal person would. Maybe because Rachel never really truly loved him, even after 6 months of dating, yet he was a rebound. But he was happy then. He would never be over her even if she was never into him. Her words hurt him, it scarred him.
Sam Evans always tried to be there for people, no matter the consequence. He helped Kurt with his Karofsky problems. He (tried) helped Quinn be nicer and calmer. He somewhat helped Santana figure out her sexuality. He so-called helped them both by never talking to Rachel. Man-Hands they called her. He did stand up for her and when she said thankyou he wanted to feel proud. He couldn't. He really didn't help much because she's no longer sitting with them. Rachel berry the future Broadway star was certainly no longer there. If only he did what he thought was right and helped her. All she needed was one true loyal friend who really cared and would change just to help her, without caring about the social ladder.
"Die in a hole Puckerman", "I don't give a shit about you". It was until he finally heard her say it, he realised how much of an idiot he was. He finally started to miss her. But it was too late. He always used her, he need to impress his mum by dating a Jewish girl, he wanted a party. He always wanted something but not until did he realise what she wanted or more needed...Friends. They grew up together. He knew everything about her. He didn't realise but he was crying thinking about her. He was her best-friend or more 'was'. She was easily going to make it out of Ohio. But he thought he was always going to be a Lima Loser. He would take back everything just to be her friend again. He lost her respect. He was the badass of the school. He got a girl pregnant, he throws slushies. He throws kids into dumpsters. He didn't deserve anyone's respect especially not hers.
She couldn't believe it she was crying at something 'Man-Hands' had said. Quinn Fabray, no. Lucy Quinn Fabray, no. Lucy Caboosey finally felt guilty. Something she had started. She had no idea someone had actually wanted her to no longer exist. Sure a lot of people hated her, because she's a bitch. She wanted that perfect life, but to have friends she had to them scared enough of her or have them exactly like you. She wanted to fit in. Over time she became to power crazy. Rachel wasn't ugly, she wasn't a freak, she wasn't mannish, and she wasn't fat. God she never hated Rachel, she was too fucking proud to admit it, she's always been jealous. She has natural pure beauty even in her atrocious attire. She's never had any surgery. She somehow ends up with the guys. But most of all she's jealous of how easily Rachel will get out of Lima. She has that extra star quality that anyone craves for. She deserves it through all the hell we've...I've put her through.
End of Flashback
The gleeks were all sad and miserable but they were correct. They were never going to get Rachel's trust back.
Yep this is not as intense as the last chapter, I just wanted to position you to know that the Gleeks do feel guilty and maybe over time she will forgive them, maybe. I'd love for heaps more reviews and alerts. I would also love some feedback. Like a relationship for Rachel. I'm also introducing two new characters that both will be girls and friends with Rachel in McKinley so if you have any ideas on their characters I would love to hear it and ask me and questions and/or storyline ideas because I'd love to see the viewpoint that u'd like my story to go through. THANKS FOR READING! And I'll try to update ASAP...
