Author's Note: I know I am such a bad person! I have not updated in a while idk when the last update was. I have been so busy its not even funny. I am running on 2 hours of sleep. I had family in town all week meaning they got my room and I was forced to sleep on the floor. Funnn. So I will be trying to update as soon as possible.

(A/N: since the last chapter 8 months have passed in the story)

Uhh the one thing I hate about my agent is that she always sends my information through email and never through text or calling. Even if am seeing her that day she still has to email it to me! Uhh whatever I guess I better jump on that and check my email just in case.

I decide to open it

Rachel,

The New Directions and I were heading to New York at the end of the week. We wanted to get a taste of the big apple before nationals. We were wondering if you wanted to meet up and go out to lunch with us? We will be at the pizzeria on the corner of 4th and Way street at noon on the 15th. We hope to see you there.

Huh. Sounds ok I mean it will be just lunch I guess I can go. I send out a quick email agreeing than I was off to do an interview with CNBC promoting my CD. Its on the top 10 album charts right now.

Interview:

"Ladies and gentleman I am your host Yancy and this is CNBC in the morning. Today we have with us the young broadway star and singing sensation Rachel Berry."

-I walk out nervous in my over the top high highheels that Amy picked out for me.

"Hi Yancy thank you for having me."

Y: Its my pleasure now Rachel tell us how does it feel to have a Tony award, a Hit CD that is climbing the charts, and a fiancee all at the young age of what 19 now?"

R: Oh its the most amazing feeling in the world! I am so proud of my cd. I just can't thank the fans enough for supporting me and actually buying the cd. I had no idea it would even be this popular.

Y:Now I read somewhere that you wrote most of the songs on the cd tell me what was your inspiration or more importantly who? Maybe a brown haired broadway star?

R:haha Yes he was the inspiration for some of my songs. Alot of people don't know this but I had a hard time in my home town, that was the inspiration for a great number of my songs.

Y:Oh? You having a hard time? Your so sure of yourself and so nice how did you have a hard time?

R:See where I am from if your not a cheerleader or jock your a nobody and because I was neither I was picked on constantly. Even in my own glee club I was made fun of due to the fact that I was so self assured. I alwasy knew I was a good singer and I am not ashamed to admit that.

Y:I don't blame you if I had voice like yours shoot I would be belting out songs to random people. Now tell me did you have a support group to help you through all of this?

R: Not really, not until I moved out to New York. I mean my dads were great growing up and all but than I grew up. I was no longer their little girl and they didn't like that. They started leaving me at home by myself for months at a time. I didn't have any friends at school. I also didn't have a mother to rely on so at the time I had nobody to help me through anything. But now I have the best support group in the world!

Y:Yes, do tell us about them.

R:Well there is Amy. Amy is my best friend. She is one of the first girls I met out here and she really accepted me for me. We are both so driven to achieve our goals and we both know that we have the talent there is no question or self doubt and thats how we bonded. We bonded over the fact that all our life we have been put down due to the fact that we know we are good and are not afraid to tell others. We also both love to shop. We go shopping at least 3 times a week together. There is also April. April is like my mom. I first met her back in Lima when she was finishing up some school credits. I didn't see her again until I moved out here. She took me under her wing and got me a job. April has been there for me the entire time. I had always wanted a mom and she always wanted a daughter so we just kind of fit. April taught me so much since I have been here. She has given me advice on friends,boys, and broadway. Its amazing having her. Jesse, ohh Jesse. Hes my rock. I love him with my whole heart. Yes, I know we are very young especially me being only 19 and many see that as a problem and a reason why we shouldn't get married. But the fact is we tried dating other people and we alwasy compared others to each other and we never got over the other. And as he says fate brought us back together during the summer when we met up at a pizza parlor. And as they say the rest is history.

Y: Wow. To go from someone who had no support group to having this amazing group of friends who are like a family I guess is amazing. If only more girls were so self assured as you are. I do have one last question before we run out of time. What are your plans for the future?

R:Wow, Umm I guess I never really thought past making it onto broadway. I will be going on tour for my new album. I will be judging the naitonal glee club competition along with Jesse. I have about 3 months of shows to finish for wicked and after that I am not sure. Jesse and I were planning on getting married after both are shows were finished so we could have some time together and I know we wanted to start a family but we are unsure of the time frame. We are kind of just letting fate take over and lead us to where we need to be in life.

Y:Thank you Rachel. And all you fans out there can pick up her new album: Get it Right in stores now. Have a good day everyone and heres the weather with Rick. Take it away Rick.


The end: This is sort of a filler chapter. I am leading up to the glee club meeting up with Rachel on her turf and than nationals. I will hopefully be updating agian today but I am not sure yet. For this chapter I really just wanted to give you just a tiny tiny look at Rachel's friends she has now. I also was setting up ND coming to NY so yea Hope you enjoyed.
