Rachel's dads weren't so mad at her when she told them she had slept at Finn's house. She didn't like lying to them, but they didn't know he had broken up with her weeks before, and they liked the guy anyway.

"I promise I won't forget to tell you next time" said Rachel, trying to look innocent.

"Okay, darling" agreed one of her dads, "now why don't you go have a shower? You look messy"

Rachel nodded and ran upstairs, surprised by how lucky she had been; her dads weren't mad, not even a little bit, not at all.

"Today is not so bad, after all" she thought, taking off her clothes and turning on the water of the shower. "Ew, I rally am messy, and I smell like beer. They'll think Finn is a drunkard.."

Under the shower she began to think about him and she wondered if she missed her; it's not like she never thought about him, but she didn't feel anything for him anymore, she liked Blaine.. or at least that's what she kept telling herself. She didn't even know why she wanted to like him anymore. Obviously, Kurt was over him, so she could stop pretending..

"But this would mean he was right," thought Rachel, as the hot water hit her shoulders, "since Kurt doesn't like Blaine anymore, I can stop liking him.. it's like he said, I only date the guys he likes! That's so weird.."

She took the shampoo and put it in her hair. No way she was giving up on Blaine, he was the perfect boyfriend every girl would like to date. Rachel felt somehow sad, but she told herself it was because she was tired, so she put on a smile and started singing.

"There's a stranger in my bed,
there's a pounding in my head,
I smell like a minibar,
DJ's passed out in the yard.."

"No" thought Rachel, while she sang 'Last Friday night' again, "why am I singing this? I don't really like Katy Perry.."

"Last Friday night,
yeah, we danced on tabletops,
and we took too many shots,
think we kissed but I forgot,
last Friday night.."

While she kept singing unwillingly, she heard her dads' voices from downstairs.

"Do you think Rachel wants a present for Christmas?"

"I don't know, she respects her religion.."

"I know, but maybe just for this year.."

"It's tomorrow"

"We can go shopping this afternoon and we'll buy her something.."

Rachel smiled, letting some water in her mouth. It was Christmas tomorrow, for all of her friends. She only had bought the scarf for Kurt, and that funny pair of socks for Finn, before they broke up, of course. She quivered.

"Yeah, we maxed our credit cards,
and got kicked out of the bar,
so we hit the boulevard,
last Friday night.."

"I could buy some nice headband for Mercedes" thought Rachel, not even realizing she was still singing, "and some cute pencils for Artie, and Brittany.. oh, well, she probably asked Santa to get her a pony or the Fairly Odd Parents.."

"We went streaking in the park,
skinny dipping in the dark,
then had a ménage à trois,
last Friday night,
yeah, I think we broke the law,
always say we're gonna stop,
last.. last, uhm.. last Christmas.." sang Rachel.

"Yes, finally a song I like!" she thought, happy.

"Last Christmas I gave you my heart,
but the very next day you gave it away,
this year, to save me from tears,
I'll give it to someone special.."

Last year for Christmas she had gone out with Finn and then he had given her the most passionate kiss ever under the mistletoe.

"Once bitten and twice shy,
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye.
Tell me baby, do you recognize me?
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me"

She sighed, remembering how strong her feelings had been back then. She wished she could feel the same for Blaine, but the honest truth was that she only liked him when she was drunk, and even when she was, she preferred Kurt's company.

"A friend to discover with a fire in his heart,
a man under cover, but you tore me apart,
now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again"

"Real love?" thought Rachel, sarcastically. "I didn't even kiss Blaine, last night. I could have done it so many times.."

"Last Christmas I gave you my heart,
but the very next day you gave it away.
This year, to save me from tears,
I'll give it to someone special"

"Blaine's hot, but Kurt's cute too" admitted Rachel, within her mind, "he looks beautiful in the moonlight.."

"I'll give it to someone.."

"And he's sweet, and he cares about me.."

"Special"

"He's special" concluded Rachel, as the sound of her voice reached her ear, like it came from a distant place. And she finally realized it. She finally knew what she would've asked Santa to get her, this year.
