A/N: Wow! I can't believe we have reached over 200 reviews! You guys are amazing, seriously.

"I'm not going!" Rachel pressed for the third time as she cleaned her kitchen.

"Why? Because of Finn?" Kurt asked knowingly.

"No. I just don't feel like going to a party." Rachel moved the kettle so she could clean behind it.

"Right. You can tell me that until your blue in the face but we both know Finn is the reason you don't want to come. You haven't spoken in a week. You two used to be inseparable."

Rachel sighed. She missed Finn, terribly. Not just as a sleeping partner but as her best friend. She's lost count of the amount of times she had picked up the phone to tell Finn about something funny on the T.V or moan about work, only to put it back down again.

"Look, I'm not asking you to do it for Finn. I'm asking you to do it for my parents. You're like a daughter to them and they'd want you at their tenth wedding anniversary."

Rachel turned around to face Kurt. "That was low." She accused but he only shrugged.

"Fine. I'll come but I'm only staying for twenty minutes."


"Where are Burt and Carole?" Rachel asked, scanning the many faces in the room.

"There're not here yet." Kurt answered, taking a dainty sip of his white wine.

"Well, I'm going to use the bathroom. I won't be long." She made her way up the stairs, relieved.

She could say for sure that Finn wasn't here yet and was secretly hoping he wouldn't turn up until she was gone. She knew they couldn't carry on like this, they'd have to talk it out but Rachel wasn't sure how to go about it.

After finishing in the bathroom, she made her way back onto the landing, pausing when she glanced at the photographs on the wall.

There were many up there but only a few stood out – they were of herself and Finn. Her eye was drawn to one in particular. It was taken about a year ago, they were all at the beach but they were alone in the photo. Rachel was on Finn's back, legs wrapped tight around his waist, head thrown back in laughter while Finn was also laughing, head angled as though he was trying to look at her.

Rachel gulped before making her way quickly down the stairs and grabbing a glass of red wine before downing it.

"If I'm going to make it through tonight," She told a shocked Kurt, "I'm going to need a few drinks."


"What's your name, sweet cheeks?" Rachel draped an arm around the nearest guy in an attempt to get the room to stop spinning.

"Jesse." He winked and she frowned.

"Isn't that a girl's name?"

The guy looked deeply offended and began to speak. "No! I could name you-"

"Rachel Barbra Berry, I thought you were only going to have a few drinks?" Kurt hissed, dragging her away from the guy with the girl's name.

"I did. I only had six." She told him, holding up eight fingers. "Or maybe it was more, I can't remember."

She looked confused before starting to laugh uncontrollably. "Kurt, did you know you have two heads?"

"No, I'll make sure to get that checked out." He rolled his eyes and grabbed her arm. "Come on, we have to sober you up before my parents get here or worse, Finn."

He pulled her up the stairs and pushed her into the bathroom before locking it behind them.

"Oh, My man, I love him soooooo. He'll never know." Rachel sang loudly, spinning in a circle and grabbing Kurt's hands. "Dance with me."

Kurt shook his head and led her to the sink.

"You know what man I love, Kurt? I love-"She screamed when he splashed cold water in her face.

"What did you do that for?" She cried, pushing her wet hair back out of her face.

"Come on, what you need is a good few cups of coffee." Kurt was starting to panic. Finn would kill him if her found Rachel in this state.

Another thing, he didn't want Rachel to make a show of herself and ruin the party.

"Ugh. I need to get you out of here." Kurt decided after Rachel started singing 'My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard."

How did she even know that song?

He frantically pulled her back downstairs and ran over to Blaine.

"I'm taking her home. If anyone asks, she had a headache and felt sick."

Blaine nodded but then grabbed Kurt's arm. "Wait! What if your parents turn up while you're gone? They're going to want you here."

Kurt sighed and ran a hand over his face. Why was tonight turning out to be such a nightmare?

"Hey Kurt, do you see what I see?" Rachel asked, tugging on his arm.

"If you're going to ask me if Grandma Pat really has four arms then the answer is no, Rachel." He snapped.

"No, I was going to ask if Finn really did just walk in with Quinn on his arm."

Kurt's head snapped towards to the door and sure enough, to his horror, Finn was standing there with an unfamiliar blonde.

"That's Quinn?" He asked.

"Oh. You can see her too? I thought I hallucinating. That's a relief." Rachel said happily.

"Now, I really have to get you out of here." Kurt muttered under his breath. What the hell was his brother thinking?

"Rachel, go grab your coat and meet me by the door in five minutes. Okay?" Kurt demanded. Rachel nodded and wandered off in a way that would make Luna Lovegood proud. Right, now onto stage two.

"Finn!" He called, jogging over to the pair. "How come you're late?"

"Oh, that's my fault." Quinn interjected, smiling. "We bumped into each other and Finn invited me."

Kurt could tell from the expression of Finn's face that that wasn't what had happened but he would have to ask about that later. Now, he had to get them away from the door.

"Well, drinks are in the kitchen as is food. Now, go mingle." He hoped he didn't sound as frantic as he felt.

They began to move but then Finn stopped.

"Is Rachel here?" Kurt was spared the trouble of answering by an unmistakable laugh that all three head's whipped towards.

Kurt slapped a hand to his forehead. So much for Operation get-Rachel-out-before-Finn-saw-her.

Finn's mouth dropped open when he spotted Rachel. She was dancing with his cousin, Jesse but it wasn't just any type of dancing. She was dirty dancing with his cousin, Jesse.

He stormed over, Kurt hot on his heels and grabbed Rachel's arm.

"What the hell is going on here?" Finn hissed.

"I was dancing." She grinned brightly and he caught the whiff of alcohol on her breath.

"Have you been drinking?" He asked in disbelief.

"So what if I have?" She placed her hands on her hips and glared but the act was ruined when she stumbled and Finn had to grab her waist to steady her.

"Man, back off. I'm getting lucky tonight." Jesse drawled and Finn fought the urge to punch him (What kind of arse takes advantage of a drunken girl, anyway?) but Rachel was more important.

"I'm taking you home, now!" He pulled her towards the door but Rachel dug her heels in. Literally.

"I don't want to go home." She whined. "Besides, what about Quinn?"

Finn glanced around but Quinn was no-where around.

"I don't care about her right now. Come on." They got to the door but just as Finn was about to open it, it opened itself and Carole and Burt stood behind it.

"What's going on here?" Carole asked, looking around in confusion.

"Congratulations. Ten years is a really long time." Rachel threw herself at Carole and hugged her.

"Thanks?" Carole glanced at Finn.

Then suddenly Quinn was there followed by Kurt and to Rachel the whole room began to spin very quickly and she felt the vomit making its way up her throat.

She spun around, aiming for the bathroom but realised she couldn't wait that long when she doubled over and threw up.

She heard Quinn's shocked gasp and Kurt attempts to stop laughing but when she glanced up Quinn was furious.

"I'm sorry. I like your shoes. Were they new?" She asked, weakly.

A/n: Okay, in case that last bit wasn't that clear, Rachel did indeed throw up on Quinn. I enjoyed writing this chapter even though it's not one of my best. I'm terrible at writing Drunk people but I hope you can look past that and the fact that some of this chapter was in Kurt's point of view. I'm not really sure how that happened.

My new story is up! Thank you to all those who read and reviewed. The next update will be up within a few days.

Finally, is anyone good at making videos because I would really like a trailer to go with this story (You know with Glee clips and other stuff Cory and Lea have been in that fit.) but I found that I am unable to do it. If you could it would help me out a lot and I would really appreciate it!

Review!
