A/N wasn't to sure about this chapter, but hope you like it anyway,let me know what you think?
After a lot of paperwork was singed and some other boring adult stuff you have to do to adopt a child a few days later they were granted permission. So now Rachel found her self waiting in her house for her dads and 'the girl' to come back. It took a lot of persuading on her dads' part and a few heated arguments before she reluctantly agreed to let the other girl live here, they did have valid points. Besides she figured she only had to stay here until she started to speak again, once they got her name they could find some long lost relatives somewhere that she didn't know about who would be more than happy to take her in..right?
She looked at the time on her phone, her dads would be here any minute now, at that thought her stomach tingled in nervousness? Excitement? Dread? She wasn't sure probably a mixture of all three, she needed a distraction.
Finn- he was a good distraction.
So she picked up her phone and sent him a text.
Rachel- hello finn, how are you today? x
He texted back after a few moments probably pausing whatever video game he was playing this time.
Finn- hey bbe, gud was jus thinkn bout u. x
She hated when he spoke in text speak, she had ranted many times to him about it but it just seems to go in one ear and out the other. She was about to text back when she heard a car pull up outside. She jumped up quickly smoothing the non-existing creases out of her skirt and running a hand through her already near perfect hair, why was she so goddamn nervous about this? The door opened and she heard her fathers voices down the hall.
"-Your room is the guest room it's just opposite Rachel's so if you need anything shes just across the hall,I'm sure she won't mind helping you out and- Oh Rachel there you are!"
Rachel saw hazel eyes flicker upwards but before she made eye contact the girl was straight back to looking at the floor, blink and you would've missed it.
"Rachel sweetheart you wouldn't mind showing her, her room would you? Me and your father have to run out to the store."
Rachel really didn't want to be left alone with the girl, especially if it was anything like the last time. But she agreed anyway knowing there was no point arguing about it. with that her dad kissed her on the head and left.
The tension was already starting to grow. Not this time, Rachel thought. "So I guess I should show you to your room.." The girl didn't respond, obviously. So Rachel spun on her heel and made her way up the stairs, she got to the top when she realised the girl wasn't following her. Turning around she saw she was still stood in the same place as before, Rachel cleared her throat.
"Are you coming?"
Slowly the girls gaze flickered upwards and there eyes locked. Rachel couldn't look away. those hazel eyes filled with curiosity? were so beautiful even from a distance, her heart started beating faster and something in her stomach knotted. What the hell? Coughing awkwardly she broke the stare but still felt the eyes on her and carried on toward the guest room.
She opened the door after hearing the girl finally follow up the stairs, and stepped aside to let her pass. She still felt the heated gaze from the blonde so she kept her eyes trained to the floor. The girl walked into the room, albeit rather unsurely, and Rachel inhaled wondering how a girl who'd just got out of hospital could smell so sweet, surely that wasn't possible?
They stood like that for a few more moments the blonde staring intensely at Rachel and Rachel standing in the door way, rather uncomfortably. For a girl who apparently doesn't make eye contact she sure as hell can stare. Did that make sense? Rachel wasn't sure, god she was so uncomfortable, her stomach was tingling again. Normally Rachel strives for attention wanting to be people's one and only focus but with this girl it was different it was like she could see right through her, it was distressing.
"Okay, well I-I'm going to go to my room to um..study? Yes study! For school."
She was pretty pleased with her improvisation skills until she realised it was summer.
Hopefully the girl didn't catch on..
but when she looked up she saw the slightest quirk of an eyebrow and amusement swirling in those hypnotising eyes. God she needed to leave this girl was...confusing? If that was the right word. She made Rachel, strong confident Rachel Barbra berry, turn into a stuttering fool.
"So um yeah, you know where um i am if you need anything." And with that said she all but sprinted out of the door.
Back in her own room now Rachel lay face first on her bed. Thoughts solely on a blonde haired hazel eyed beauty. What the hell just happened? If that girl was going to be living here Rachel really needed to get a grip.
"Arrrggghhhh!" She screamed letting all her frustration out into the pillow. She figured an early night was needed. She looked at her clock.
06:05pm
It was either sleep now or stay awake and deal with confusing, and not to mention frustrating thoughts.
Sleep it is then.
So she pulled her self up and walked towards her en suite bathroom getting a quick shower and doing her nightly routine before making her way back to bed.
She turned to the clock.
06:30
She groaned. This was going to be harder than she thought.
She lay there wide awake for a while until she decided that there was no way she was getting to sleep like this , so she climbed back out of bed and searched through her draws for her iPod, the soft voice of Barbra never failing to relax her.
Five minutes later she was soundly asleep.
Rachel stirred cracking her eyes open in the dark room the only light source being the soft glow of her digital alarm clock.
1:34am
Great. Why was she awake at this time? normally she slept straight threw the night. Her questions were soon answered when a loud rumble came from her stomach. She blushed even though no one was there to hear it and flung the blankets off her self before quietly making her way down the stairs and into the kitchen. She opened the fridge and grabbed the right ingredients to make herself a sandwich. Once she ate feeling satisfied she put her dishes in the sink and padded up the stairs. She was outside her door hand over the handle when she heard something. She spun around In the dark hallway searching for the source of the sound.
The guest bedroom.
The door was open a jar so Rachel tip-toed over poking her head threw the gap in the doorway. It was dark but Rachel could make out the shape of a body in the bed and when she listened again she realised the sound was, crying. She wasn't sure what she should do. Should she go over to the girl? Should she leave? The girl sniffled and inhaled a shaky breath before resuming her crying into the pillow, obviously trying to muffle the sounds. Rachel's heart hurt for the girl. she slowly backed out of the room and back into her bed.
As she lay there her thoughts once again being consumed by the blonde. Should she have comforted the girl? She was a stranger after all, no she made the right decision she told her self. Then why did she feel so sad?
This was going to be a long night.
