AN:I own nothing.
This was a prompt given to me by lonelylady89.
I also want to let you all know I had planned on revamping the "Stevie series" but ultimately decided against it. I also hope to have "Before We're Gone" and "No Way" updated tonight.
CHAPTER 4
When the four arrive home Brittany and Santana pull up behind them.
"What are you two doing here?" Santana asked.
"Videogames." Mike answers as Rachel opens the front door and lets them in.
"My dads don't usually get home for about three more hours." Rachel says as she leads them into the living room.
Brittany went straight for the back sliding door and let Bryce in.
Bryce went straight to the living room and began running around hyper.
They played videogames and worked on their homework till the Berry men arrived home and insisted they all stay for dinner. Hiram and Leroy were happy to see Noah and Mike.
The rest of the week hadn't fared as well as it began. Finn was acting more and more like a child and Rachel was sick of it. She was sick of settling. Rachel had come to this decision Friday morning when she woke up curled into Quinn. She would have just brushed it off but when she tried to move over Quinn tightened her arms and muttered a "No, stay."
Rachel decided that even if Quinn probably wasn't aware that she had done it she was going to take a chance.
But unknown to Rachel Quinn was aware of her actions that morning. She was wide awake and just reveling in holding the girl as she slept. Quinn was captured with her. She had looked so peaceful and at ease and when she had first wrapped her arms around the brunette she smiled and she pulled her in closer.
Then Rachel had stirred and she pretended to be asleep and when Rachel moved she told her to stay and she did to her surprise.
Now today was Saturday.
The three girls were sat at the table with the Berry men when there was a knock.
"San's here!" Brittany beamed jumping up and skipping to the front door.
After breakfast the four girls were gathered in Rachel's room.
"Britt. I know this is a stretch. But could you consider un-hooking Quinn and I for an hour?" Rachel asked.
"Sure." Brittany smiled and both Quinn and Rachel were shocked. Was that really all it took? She was so against it when this began.
"Wait!" Santana cut in. "What for Berry?"
"It is a personal matter." Rachel said.
"Not gonna cut it." Santana said.
"It's Brittany's decision San. She has free will." Quinn glared and Santana shot back one of her own.
"Forget about it." Rachel sighs picking up her phone with and typing out a text with one hand.
An hour later Rachel looks up. "I have to pee."
Santana cringes and scowls. Brittany pulls the key from her bra and un-locked her wrist and Rachel walked into her bathroom and locked the door. She looks out the window and takes a look around her backyard. Bryce is in her room with Brittany so there would be no one to alert them of what she is doing. She opens the window and climbs out. She had done this twice in her life and this is now the third. She reaches for the tree branch and climbs into the tree and goes down.
Once she makes it around to the front of her house she refrains from face palming and pats her sweater pocket. Yes! She does have her keys and her car is parked in the driveway. She goes over to it and unlocks it. She gets in and starts the car.
She knows she could have just told them what she needed to do. But she loved drama. She also didn't want them there when she did break up with Finn. She wanted to do this without telling anyone either because she didn't want it getting out. She also knew that Finn would be home alone today. Kurt was out shopping with Blaine and Mercedes and her boyfriend. Burt and Carol went to visit Burt's old college buddy.
She starts the car and cringes. She hopes she can talk Santana out of harming her nose when she gets back. She backs out of the driveway and heads off towards Finn's.
Santana looks up when she hears the car start. "What's taking the munchkin so long?" Santana asked getting up and knocking on the bathroom door. "Berry! What's taking so long?" She gets no response. "Berry, open the door!" Santana orders but nothing. She puts her ear to the door. "If you don't answer me I am going to break the door down!" Santana threatens.
"Uhhh, San?" Brittany calls from the window. She looks up at the Latina and points.
Santana walks over with Quinn just in time to see Rachel drive off. "I am going to murder that hobbit! I warned her!" She rushes downstairs and Brittany and Quinn follow.
Santana pauses at the front door to put her shoes on and all the while she is muttering in Spanish.
Hiram and Leroy appear in the kitchen doorway. "Is everything ok?" Hiram asks then looks at Quinn questionably when he sees the cuff hanging from her wrist and Rachel not attached. "Where's Rachel?"
"She climbed out her bathroom window and left." Brittany said.
"I'm going to hunt her down and kill her." Santana growled throwing open the front door and storming out.
"Don't worry, she won't actually harm her." Brittany assures following after Santana.
"Any idea where she might go?" Quinn asked pulling on her cardigan.
"Finn's maybe?" Leroy shrugs then frowns.
"What is it?" Quinn asks.
"Finn is home alone. Rachel was mentioning something about it while on the phone with him." Leroy said.
"When?"
"While you were changing last night." Leroy says.
"Ok. Thanks." Quinn says as she runs out and gets in Santana's car.
Santana doesn't wait for the door to close before she is pulling out of the driveway.
"She's heading to Finn's." Quinn said as Santana threw the car into drive and sped off towards Finn's.
Rachel knocks on the door and Finn opens it. He instantly beams when he sees that Rachel is alone.
"Hey!"
"Hi." Rachel smiles.
"You aren't locked to Quinn." He grins.
"Yeah, I snuck out so I probably don't have much time before they come looking for me." Rachel says.
"Oh, come in." Finn says and Rachel shakes her head.
"No, I just stopped by to talk to you. It is really important." Rachel says and Finn steps out of the house not bothering to shut the door behind him.
"What's up?" Finn asks.
"I tried Finn. I really tried." Rachel says.
"Did you cheat on me again?" Finn asks scared and Rachel shakes her head.
"No. I…" Rachel trails off as the screeching of tires sound and they look to the sidewalk where Santana parked her car. "Shoot. I'll make this quick." Rachel said. "I'm not in love with you anymore." Rachel said and Finn frowns.
"Because we don't spend time together?" Finn asked as Santana stormed up with Brittany and Quinn close behind.
"You better have a good explanation for sneaking out Hobbit!" Santana sneers.
"Leave us alone for a minute Satan!" Finn shouts looking at Rachel as Santana's eyebrows shoot up. "What do you mean you aren't in love with me anymore?" Finn asks and Rachel looks down.
"That's just it. I tried Finn. I really tried to stay in love with you. But I think." She shakes her head. "No. I know, that I'm falling in love with someone else." Rachel said. "I came here to tell you that it wouldn't be fair to you and so I am ending our relationship. I had hoped to do it before they got here. But I am truly sorry Finn." Rachel said.
Quinn was happy to hear this. Brittany was sad that Rachel lied and snuck out on them. Santana was amused. Rachel did all this just to break up with Finnept? 'That girl loves her drama.' Santana thought.
"Alrighty then." Santana says grabbing Rachel's wrist. "We're leaving."
Finn grabbed Rachel by the arm. "We aren't done talking." He said pulling Rachel away from Santana. "Who is it? Do I know him?"
"I can't tell you. But you do know them." Rachel said. "But I have to go Finn. My fathers are no doubt upset and I am hoping if I go willingly Santana will avoid my nose." Rachel said and Santana smirked.
"So you did take my threat seriously." Santana smiles. "Good. Let's go."
"Goodbye Finn. I really am sorry for hurting you." Rachel says waving as she walks away with Santana.
"This isn't over Rachel. I'm going to fight for you!" Finn shouts and Quinn glares.
Rachel stopped at the car and turned to him. "There's nothing left to fight for Finn. I'm sorry." She said getting in the backseat beside Quinn and before Brittany could reach over she cuffed herself back to Quinn.
"You could have asked instead of doing all this, Berry." Santana said as Brittany held her hand out.
"Keys." Rachel handed them to her and Brittany kissed Santana's cheek before getting out and going to Rachel's car.
"I didn't want an audience and I didn't want anyone to know. I wanted to do it privately." Rachel said as she pulled her seatbelt on.
"So why did you do it?" Santana asked and Quinn looked at Rachel waiting for the answer.
"Because I didn't feel anything with him anymore. I like someone else now." Rachel answered. "Let's just go. I'm sure my fathers are upset." Rachel said.
Like she expected her fathers were upset and they took her car away for a week.
review please. :)
