Since it is the end of the semester and since I wasn't able to watch the new episode because of work I decided to spend my time wisely. I had to split this chapter into two so hopefully I get the next part written soon! Hope you all enjoy it! Please review and tell your friends! :)
Every time Rachel came home from rehearsal with Kurt Nathan was there. She tried to avoid eye contact but anytime she would look up he would be staring at her. A word was never spoken between the two but she felt like she was being violated in some way she couldn't explain. When she explained this to Santana, she agreed but said there was nothing she could really do until her test Thursday. She was finally starting to understand psychology enough to squeeze by with hopefully a B. Rachel didn't try to argue anymore after that. She would quickly walk into the apartment and go straight to her room, trying not to make eye contact with the dark eyes that were silently watching her every move.
Santana never seemed to notice but Kurt definitely did. He wanted to talk to Nathan about it but just didn't know exactly what to say. He didn't know the guy very well and didn't want him to react in a way that could hurt him or his two roommates. He discussed the issue with Blaine and decided the best thing to do was just make sure Rachel was safe and nothing more happened to her. He didn't like how she was beginning to act but he didn't feel he had much choice but to watch her suffer and be there to hold her when she cried.
Friday morning Santana came bursting into the kitchen where Rachel and Kurt were talking quietly over coffee and breakfast. "I passed!" she exclaimed. "I passed the class with a B! I didn't fail the test!" She began jumping and twirling around. It was as happy as Kurt and Rachel had seen her in a very long time.
"Tana that is awesome! I am so happy for you!" Kurt smiled as he watched the scene unfolding. This class had been stressing her out and to see her finally happy again was priceless. He noticed that Rachel visibly relaxed next to him and went back to drinking her coffee.
"Yeah to celebrate I am going to make a huge dinner and all of us are going to celebrate that the semester is over! Rachel's show is done, my tests are completed, and Kurt's projects are submitted. I think we deserve a party before we take our vacation."
Kurt and Rachel agreed. They had all been so busy that the three of them hadn't really spent quality time together. Rachel was really looking forward to it until Santana's next statement. "Perfect! I'll send Nate a text and tell him we'll eat around 5:00. Then that way we can kick him out around 7 and spend some time together again since technically it won't just be the three of us for a while." Kurt felt Rachel tense as she stood up and hurried out of the room slamming the door behind her. Santana looked up from her phone with a very confused look. "Is something wrong with her or is she just having a diva moment?" Kurt shook his head and walked to the closed door. He leaned against it and could hear her sniffling. As he reached up to knock on the door he heard her begin to talk.
"Hey, I was just calling to talk to you. I guess you are probably busy right now. Umm just *sob* call me back as soon as you can. I love you!" As soon as she finished the last words the sobs could not be held back any longer. Kurt bypassed the knock and went straight to her side. She fell into his lap and cried until she fell asleep. Once he could hear her slightly snoring he readjusted her so that she could sleep more comfortably. He pulled out his phone and sent a text to his brother.
Finn, I know you think that this is super important whatever it is you are doing but there is someone who needs you a bit more. Your fiancée is really struggling and I don't know how to help her anymore. She needs to be with you so I suggest that either you come to New York or you pick her up at the nearest airport in Georgia ASAP! With love, Kurt.
It had been a long workout but Finn was definitely feeling good about himself. He had a lot of work to do but he figured that it could all be done before Rachel got there in two weeks. He had gotten permission for her to help him and he couldn't wait to show her off to the guys. He got back to his apartment and noticed he had a text and a voicemail. He read the text from Kurt and after listening to the voicemail Rachel had left him he knew that there was something wrong. Rachel apparently hadn't told Kurt about spending the summer in Georgia but he knew he needed to talk to her. He quickly hit send and impatiently waited for the rings to stop so he could hear her voice. Nothing, her phone went to voicemail. He wanted to throw his phone across the room but instead he decided to leave her a message telling her that he would be sure to have his phone on him the rest of the day so to call as soon as she was able to and reminding her of how much he loved her. After hanging up he called Kurt who informed him that Rachel was sleeping even though it was only noon. Kurt said he would be sure to have her call him but they had a dinner date with Santana and Nate.
"Nate? Who is Nate? Did Santana dump Brittney?" Finn had never heard mention of Nate but something about the guy caused him to feel uneasy.
"He's some creep that help Santana pass psychology. He only wanted to help Santana study because he was hoping he could get with her but when he found out she didn't roll that way he suddenly shifted his silent worshiping to Rachel." Kurt realized a bit too late that that probably was not the information to give to Rachel's fiancé, especially not when he knew that Finn could probably crush Nathan. The other end of the phone was silent for a bit too long. "Finn, don't get any ideas. I am keeping an eye on Rachel. The only reason we are having dinner tonight is because it is our last night together until Santana and I go to Lima and Rachel goes to Quinn's. I will make sure that nothing happens to her I promise. If it does, I will let you beat the crap out of him. I promise." Even though he couldn't see Finn, he heard him breathe out and knew he had physically relaxed.
"Alright, just, please have her call me when she wakes up and feels like talking. I feel like the worst fiancé ever. I promised her December and it is now May. Sometimes I wonder why she puts up with it."
"Because she loves you so much she forgives you every time. She is running out of patience but she will continue to be patient because she knows having to wait and then getting to spend the rest of her life with you is much better than never having you. Just make sure you keep your phone on you the rest of the day and I am sure she will call you as soon as she sees you called. Stay out of trouble brother."
The two brothers hung up and Kurt went back into the kitchen to help Santana finish cooking. Nothing was mentioned about what had happened and where Rachel currently was. It seemed as though Santana was ignoring the obvious and Kurt wasn't in the mood for a fight.
Rachel awoke to see that it was now 4:00. Had she really been sleeping for that long? She searched for her phone and caught sight of herself in the mirror. Oh my, I look absolutely awful! Her eyes were puffy and what little makeup she had put on that morning was in smudges down her face. Maybe I should clean up before I go out there. Or I could go out and let them be all worried about me. She looked around her room and saw that her phone was sitting on her vanity. She ran over and saw that she had a missed call, voicemail, and a text. The call and text were from Finn so she assumed the voicemail was also. She read the message quickly which told her to call him when she woke up which meant that he had probably talked to Kurt. She began to dial his number when she heard a knock at her door. "Come in," she shouted as she hit send. Kurt peaked his head around the door.
"Hello gorgeous however I must say you look slightly awful right now. If I were you I think I would stick with this look so that Nathan keeps his distance." Kurt stopped when he saw the tears begin to form. "Oh Rach I didn't,"
"Hey Finny! Yes I am fine, I am just having a rough day. How are you? Finn, I don't want to talk about me right now I asked you how you were. (pause) Good! I am glad that you are almost done with everything! How much longer do you think it will be? (pause) Mmm I see. Yeah I am alright! I slept for a really long time apparently. I guess I am just really over exhausted. (pause) Yes Finn, I am taking care of myself. I get enough sleep I think that the performances and everything that has been going on is just wearing me down. (pause) Am I… (looks up at Kurt and shakes her head). Did Kurt tell you about Nathan? (much longer pause than normal) Finn! I am not going to start dating that creep! I just (tears welling up) I just don't like being around him. I don't think Santana gets that part but whatever. Besides it is too late now, he will be here at 5:00. O my goodness I need to get ready! He will be here in like 45 minutes. No I am not hanging up on you to go get ready for another guy to come over I just look completely awful. Kurt even said so himself. (pause) How about I facetime you while I am getting ready so you can tell me what is appropriate and what isn't. Okay I'll call you back in just a minute. It may take me a bit because Kurt is standing here and I think he wants to talk to me about something. I love you Finn, only a while longer!"
Rachel hung up the phone and turned to where Kurt was sitting on her vanity chair. "Why did you tell him about Nathan? He is now completely freaking out and is all worried."
"I didn't mean to tell him it just slipped out. I informed him that nothing was going on and that I would keep you safe. A recommendation though, I think that you should totally wear your Finn necklace and your engagement ring and do everything with your left hand. If you want we can point out a million times that you are getting married soon. That should definitely scare him off. Or we could watch some of our videos from Glee club! I think that is an excellent idea!"
Rachel laughed at how overprotective Kurt was being. "I think that is a great idea! If the conversation gets brought up and he again asks me to sing for him, we'll just use the excuse that I can't use my voice anymore but we can sure watch some videos." They talked for a moment longer until Rachel realized she really did need to get ready for the dinner and Finn was probably waiting patiently at the phone. She walked to the bathroom and set her iPhone on the phone dock. Soon she was looking at Finn's smiling yet concerned face.
