A/N: Hey everyone! So I really hope you're enjoying this story. It may be longer than I anticipated but I am not really sure yet. Sorry for the long wait I am really bad at updating. Review!
When Rachel returned to her hotel room she was still reeling from her and Finn's kiss so she completely forgot about all of the drama with Jake.
"So you're finally back? It's about freaking time!" Jake screamed at her the minute he realized Rachel was there.
"Jake I-I'm really sorry I just needed to think."
"Well what did you think about?" Jake said a little louder than necessary while inching toward Rachel.
"Jake please calm down I don't like it when you yell." Rachel shakily said.
"Oh I'm sorry but you know what I don't like? I don't like it when my girlfriend's ex-boyfriend decides to interject himself into a private conversation!" Jake said as pushed Rachel up against a wall.
"H-he was just trying to be a good friend."
"No he was trying to get back in your pants!" Jake said tightening his grip so hard on Rachel's arm that it was sure to leave a mark.
"Jake you're hurting me." Rachel sobbed.
"Well my dear I'm just trying to simply train you. Like you would an animal." Jake said as he swung his hand across her face.
"Now let's just move on from this. Come give me a hug."Jake said switching from being extremely angry to loving and caring. Rachel scared of what would happen if she said no reluctantly did as he said.
"You know I only do that because it's what's best for our relationship right?"
"Of course." Rachel lied.
The next day Rachel did her best to cover up the multicolored welt on the side of her face. She completely forgot about the very visible marks on her arm.
"Jake I'm going to my glee reunion I'll be back in a little bit."
"Ok but if I find out you did something you weren't supposed to then we will have another little training session tonight."
Rachel just pretended she didn't hear that and she sauntered out the door on her way to see some of her favorite people in the world.
On her drive there she cried. She cried so hard not just because of Jake but because of what she had become. She cried because of Finn and how much she loves and misses him. But most importantly she cries because she was trapped in her life and couldn't figure a way out.
As she pulled into the schools parking lot she quickly wiped away any remaining tears in the process also unknowingly wiping away any makeup.
As she entered the choir room she noticed she was the last to arrive. Also the unusual fact that. all eyes were on her.
Then she realized why. She didn't reapply her makeup after her sobbing session in the car.
"What the hell happened to you berry?" Puck the first one to ask the question that was on everyones mind. Well everyone's but Finn. Finn knew exactly what had happened and he had warned her.
"I uh dropped a bowl on my head trying to get it out of the cupboard you know me too proud to ask for help." Rachel once again lied.
"Well that doesn't explain those marks on your arm?" Quinn questioned disbelievingly.
"Yeah Jake was trying to move me out of the way of the bowl by grabbing my arm but was too late."
Nobody really believed her but didn't want to question it.
"Okay guys so this glee club reunion is officially in session. First assignment is will be something basic that we all have done. Get with your duet partner who you did the most duets with and put a duet together with them."
Rachel was hoping someone else would claim her but she and everyone else knew who her duet partner was. Finn.
"So you dropped a bowl on your head?" Finn questioned.
"Yes I believe that is what I just told everyone."
"Yeah well we both know you just told everyone a lie."
"It most definitely wasn't a lie I-"
"Cut the crap Rach. Why are you even bothering to try and lie to me? I see right through you Rachel. Whether you like it or not. Lying to me does you no good. Now do you want to tell me what I already know happened?" Finn said raising an eyebrow.
"Look okay he just got a little upset last night. But he did it because he needed to teach me not to lie to him so I actually deserved it." Rachel said trying to convince herself almost.
"Again with the lying Rachel when are you gonna realize that your lies are no good with me. I see right through them. We both know that you don't love that guy. Hell you don't even like him so why stick around with a guy who is hurting you. Give me one good reason we shouldn't be together when you can't honestly say you don't have feelings for me."
"Look Finn my opinion on Jake is none of your business. Yes I would be lying if I said that I didn't still love you but I'm not quite ready to forgive you now can we get to work on our duet?"
"Fine but Rachel you know better than anyone that I don't give up that easy." Finn said flashing her one of his heart melting half smiles.
A/N: So how was it? If you have any suggestions or things you would like to happen let me know! Review!
