Rachel skipped her dance classes for the next two days. She just wasn't in the mood for whatever Cassie's was going to throw at her. Cassie had called several times over the last two days, and left messages but Rachel rejected the calls and deleted the messages before reading or listening them.

On Thursday she headed into dance class with a chip on her shoulder and a closed off defiant façade. She followed the class instructions perfectly. She ignored the chatting and bitching classmates and preformed what was needed with abandon of being scrutinized. She danced for herself, not for the people judging her. It was the most cathartic relaxing experience she had ever had.

Realizing that Cassandra July had been correct once again, just managed to infuriate her. The minute she stopped caring about what anyone thought, and allowed herself to feel the music. Everything just snapped into place.

"Rae you were amazing today, I've never seen you dance better." Ivy smiled at her warmly.

"Thank you Ivy, I just stopped caring too much. Seems to have worked." Rachel smiled and picked up her bags and was the first one to leave.

Rachel avoided her 'lover' until Friday, when apparently it was enough for Ms July. Because she followed her home from class and pounded on her door until Rachel finally opened it.

"What are you doing here?"

"I've had enough." Cassie explained slipping into the apartment.

"Meaning?"

"You just walked out of my life, no reason. Just decided that it was over without consulting me?"

"No you did that, you were incredibility cruel on Monday after Puck left, even for you. You knew I was exhausted from the weekend, but you couldn't give me an inch could you. Not for the little freshman that you've been screwing for 5 months?"

"We agreed that we had to keep things the way they were."

"I'm not saying that they shouldn't." Rachel said frustrated. "What I'm saying was that you were unbearable. I was sick of being your punching bag."

"I don't…You think I use you as a punching bag?" she asked her words catching on the sob she tired to stop from revealing itself.

"It certainty feels like that." Rachel crossed her arms over her breasts. "I've already gone down that road , I'm not putting myself in that position again."

"I …I just didn't like not being able to see you for a whole weekend," she admitted with a sigh. "Then you were so tired on Monday, and distracted. My mind went to a bad place. I though maybe you know.."

"You couldn't have thought that I was with Puck," she scoffed. "Oh god you did." she said realization flooded her tone and confirmed by the look in Cassandra's eyes when she finally looked up to wipe away the tear. "I don't have to share you here, in Lima I understand but here you're mine."

"Oh honey," Rachel pulled her into her arms. "You have no reason to be jealous, I'm not interested in Noah, he's my best friend."

"I know that, in my head. But my previously broken heart has trouble seeing that." she whispered into Rachel's hair.

"It's going to be ok, the semester is over in a month and we can date openly if that's what you want."

"I do I really do want that Rachel."

"Oh my god! This is what you've been hiding from me?" Kurt stormed into the room hands on his hip as he glared at them.

"Please Kurt don't tell anyone, Cassie could lose her job." Rachel begged him still holding Cassie in her arms.

"I would never out you guys." he said . "But it all makes sense now. Wow I can't believe you've been able to hide it. How long?"

"Winter vacation."

"I knew no one breaks up because they never fight!"
