Chapter 4: A Lighter Day
With the news of being pregnant , she went home and stood infront of her doorstep. To be honest, she doesn't know how she got there. Should she be happy? Sad? Excited? Or devastated? To be honest she did not know how to deal with it.
She has so many things she has to think about, she knows for sure she was happy about the fact that she would be carrying a part of Finn, bit sad that she would be reminded of him every single day of her life, and she honestly didn't know if she could handle it.
Opening the door. She saw here three friends sitting on the couch, watching a 100 Ways To Die, much to Kurt's amusement. He had a disgusted look on his face while Santana and Puck only laughed.
"I really don't find this amusing." He said standing up, to go throw something together to eat, he was starving. He saw Rachel coming in, and before he could greet her, she looked at the three friends.
"Afternoon Kurt, Noah, Santana." With no smile, no hugs, no nothing, she walked straight to her room and closed her door.
Puck was about to get up and go to Rachel when he felt a hand on his shoulder and a voice saying "let me".
Santana stood up from where she was sitting next to Puck, and headed towards Rachel's room. She knocked on the door, that had a huge gold star on it, and when she heard a soft voice telling her to come in, she went in and closed the door behind her.
Before she said anything, she took in the mess that was now her room. Her clothes were scattered on the floor, showing that she changed while walking, her bag laying on its side on the bed, and Rachel curled up on her bed wearing her black PJ shorts with a matching top, with a gold star printed on the front. Typical Rachel.
"What do you want Santana?" Came Rachel's broken voice.
"Rachel..." Santana waited for Rachel to look at her and said, "Talk to me, something is obviously wrong. You were making progress the last few days, a little yes, but progress nonetheless."
"He left Santana. He left me to deal with this alone." Rachel whispered more to herself than to the Latina. "I can't do this." She finally registers that Santana really was there and started panicking, she didn't know whether she should say something, she decided not to and shut down, telling Santana to get out, she wanted to be alone.
Knowing that Rachel really wanted her to leave at that moment, she stood up and walked towards the door, but Santana knowing herself, she will get to the bottom of this.
When she was about to leave the room she took one last look at the brunette and asked, "Where were you B? Your classes ended at 1, you came home at 3."
"Not that it's any of your business, but, I was on campus, reading, I wanted time to myself, so if you would kindly respect my wish and leave..."
The latina's heart ached at Rachel's words, but left the brunette to be alone.
She closed the door behind her and cursed when she bumped into Puck.
"Eavesdrop much Puckerman?"
Puck took a step back, afraid of what the latina might do because she looked pissed..
"No, I swear, I was about to knock when you opened the door. I would never listen in to any of your conversations."
Santana eased up and walked over to the couch, not explaining anything to the boys that Rachel said, which irritated them to the max.
She didn't care, she resumed her watch on tv, and stayed like that until night showered upon them. Still no Rachel in sight.
XxX
It's about time you arrived." Cassandra said as Rachel walked into the room, late.
Rachel placed her tote bag on the chair in the corner and joined the rest of the group on the floor, whom was now staring at her.
"My apologies." She said readying herself to start her day. But Cassandra was not letting go that easily.
"Explain to me why you're late." She said circling Rachel. "Is someone else dead?"
That was it.
"You know what? I'm sick of this, I'm sick of you always just picking on me and giving me shit for just breathing! You had no right to say what you did, you have no heart Cassandra and you never will!."
With the last words said, Rachel ran out of the room with her bag hanging over her shoulder. She didn't care what the outcome might be of her saying what she felt to her teacher. She knew she had to stand up for herself sometime, and to be honest it felt pretty damn good.
Just as she was about to reach the outside, Rachel heard Cassandra say, "You have some balls Rachel," Rachel felt herself getting visibly nervous. "...to yell at me like that in front of my other student, I like it. You got some nerve."
Cassandra turned around and walked out of the room, dismissing the class, even though it just started.
Her day went quite smoothly after that, no troubles, no vomiting, which made her smile for the first time in a very long while, and she was actually looking forward to working heer shift at the diner that afternoon. And that was saying something.
When she arrived at the diner, she quickly changed into her uniform. It was a plain white button-up shirt with a pink collar, and a matching skirt that ended middle-thigh.
The diner was a nice small place where the usual happy family would go to on a Sunday evening after Church, it was comfortable to be in. The walls where the original diner-type colour, Red, black, and the booths' tables had a silvery texture. She liked working there, people were always friendly, and that's just what Rachel needed right now to forget about everything.
She was serving an old couple sitting in the far corner of the diner, when she heard the bell on the door ring indicating someone coming in. She was surprised to see who it was.
"Noah..." She said smiling as she walked up to him. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm hungry as a horse and this seemed like the best place to eat, and I wanted to tell you something. I was apartment hunting. I found the perfect place about a block or two away from yours. The rent is affordable so I took it." He said with a bright smile.
"You really didn't have do that Noah. You could've just stayed with us, we like having you around. But I'm happy for you wither way." She had a question running through her mind and was eager to get it out. "How did you find me though?"She said raising an eyebrow.
"Well I searched the whole city untill I founf you." He said looking serious.
She looked at him with wide eyes and he said noticing her surprise, laughing. "Not the whole of New York Rach, places close to your apartment and College. And by the way, nice skirt." Puck said smirking looking at her legs appreciatively. When she noticed that, she blused heavily. He didn't know why he said that, and hoped he didn't make her feel uncomfortable. He cleared his throat and apologized. "Uhm...sorry."
Rachel smiled and waved it off like it was nothing, but she couldn't help thinking that she liked it, but thought of Finn when he always complimented her...she heard Puck saying, "What's good here Rach?"
Rachel shook her head playfully, and showed Puck the menu for "carnivores" like him. He takes the menu and says, " It isn't that vegan..." He is stopeed when she glares at him, pointing her finger at where he was suppose to look.
He smiled sheepishly, takes the menu again and says, "Sorry Rach but your face shit tastes really bad." Earning him a playful slap with half a glare.
Their afternoon together was well spent when she told Puck about what happened at NYADA, to be honest he was really proud of her, she was improving. Her manager saw the scene in front of her and decided to give Rachel the rest of the afternoon of, knowing what she's been through with Finn, she knew she needed company and she wouldn't let Rachel passed it on.
The two was more than grateful that they got to spend more time together since they hadn't enjoyed each others company as much as now. They were on their to becoming the greatest of friends, and Puck wished it would evolve into more...
