Healing Takes Time

Chapter 10

Third Person

The following day at school was shocking for Rachel. Rachel had stayed the night at Santana's house so the two of them picked up Brittany and then drove to school together. Santana had received a text from Sue saying that she wanted to meet with her and Brittany before school. Rachel was nervous about meeting with Sue. Even though Rachel knew sue wouldn't hurt her anything she was till having issues trusting her aunt and the cheerleading coach. Rachel still had problems believing that this was all just a dream and she would wake up and be alone again and have no friends.

When the three girls arrived at school Brittany and Santana headed to Sue's office while Rachel goes to her locker to get her books from it. Rachel's locker was right next to the boys locker which was disgusting. Rachel started gathering books from her locker for her first two classes she would come back to get the other books after third period glee.

As she finished getting her books she noticed Finn walking towards her without Quinn. It's odd to see Finn without Quinn by his side.

"Hey Rach," Finn said once he was in front of her.

"Hey Finn," Rachel responded back a little bit confused. "What did you need?" she questioned knowing he had to have had some kind of reasoning for wanting to talk with her.

"Can't I just be friendly," Finn stated before offering to hold her books while he walked her to her first period class. The walk to class was short and rather quiet.

"Thank you Finn," Rachel responded while grabbing her books from Finn.

"Hey Rach," Finn called as Rachel had started walking into the classroom.

"Yeah," she replied.

"Be careful around Santana and Brittany. I heard Sue talking to them about their plan to crush you was working out spectacularly." Finn told Rachel. Rachel replied a quiet thank you before turning and walking into her classroom.

Finn had just conformed what Rachel was afraid of. The friendship between her, Brittany, and Santana was all just a ruse to end glee club. Rachel couldn't believe that she let herself fall into their trap again she had done it the previous and she swore to never let it happen again, but it just did. Rachel looked up to see two seats available on by Jewfro and the other by a bubbly Brittany. Rachel choose the seat by Jewfro she couldn't face Brittany or Santana right now.

What Rachel didn't understand is why Santana's family would go along with this. It didn't make any sense to Rachel. She also didn't understand why Sue would tell her that she was her aunt if she really wasn't. None of it added up and it just confused Rachel even more. She spent the whole day avoiding the two girls and as she thought more and more about what Finn had told her she became more and more confused with it all.

Rachel didn't make it home safe before Santana had caught up to her. She forgot that she had come to school with Santana so she had started walking but Santana had caught up to her.

"What do you think you're doing Rachel?" the Latina questioned her sister.

"Leave me alone Santana," Rachel snapped back. She didn't want to deal with her she knew that if she faced Santana today she would end up braking down.

"I'm not leaving Rachel," Santana yelled out the window as she continued to follow her sister in her car as she walked. "Rachel what happened today?" Santana went on to ask the girl.

Rachel finally snapped turning to face the girl in the car, "was this some sick joke to you? Do you get a kick out of making me miserable or was it just that you thought you wouldn't get caught?"

"Rachel, what are you talking about?" Santana questioned the girl in confusion and concern.

"Nothing!" Rachel yelled as she took off running and right to her house.

Although Santana could follow Rachel home to make sure she got there safe she couldn't do much after that and Rachel knew that. When Rachel had gotten home she knew she was safe for now. She wouldn't have to deal with the Latina for a little bit but she also knew if she stayed Santana and Brittany would show up at her down step. That is why Rachel was now standing in the lobby of a hotel getting a room for the night.

That night in another part of Lima, Ohio two teens were on the phone talking to one another.

"Finn did it work?" Quinn questioned her boyfriend. Quinn was currently dating Sam but secretly dating Finn at the same time which worked in her favor. Quinn was going to use Finn to destroy Rachel Berry.

"It worked," Finn replied back to Quinn. The only reason Finn was agreeing to this was to get the stupid slut back for cheating on him. She didn't deserve anyone and when he was done with her everyone else who see that as well.

"Good," Quinn replied before telling Finn the next part of her plan.

Two days later

Rachel hadn't seen or spoken to Santana or Brittany in the past two days. Both of the girls had tried to call her but she refused to answer the phone and she hadn't been home since she checked into the hotel. She knew it was the only way the two girls would be unable to find her. It was now Monday and she needed to go to school which meant that she might have to face the two girls she had been avoiding.

Rachel was heading to her locker when she noticed a figure standing in front of it. She sucked in a breath but as she got closer she realized it was just Finn.

"Hey Finn," Rachel said as she approached him. "How are you this morning?"

"I'm good," Finn replied back. "Hey I was wondering if you wanted to go out on a date with me tonight." Finn asked Rachel. Rachel was shocked that he asked her. She thought he was still upset about the whole Puck fiasco.

"I would love to," Rachel replied back to Finn. Finn brought Rachel into a tight hug and the two walked off to Rachel's first period class.

The whole day at school Rachel had managed to avoid Santana and Brittany which she was really happy about. She didn't want to talk to the two girls she was tired of them using her. She wished they would just stick to verbally abusing her.

In glee Santana was shocked to find Rachel sitting next to Finn and the two being all couple like. Brittany was angry at the thought of Finn once again dating Rachel. Brittany thought that she and Rachel were getting some where and now she's back with Finn and completely ignoring her. Brittany had spent the past two days crying on Santana's shoulder and Santana hated when Brittany was upset. Santana knew that Rachel's sudden change in behavior had something to do with Finnessa. When she had enough proof Santana was going to take him down and make sure he never came between Brittany and Rachel again.

Rachel was shocked to see at the end of the day Quinn waiting for her and Finn at Rachel's locker.

"Hey Finn and Rachel," Quinn said as they got close. "I just wanted to apologize for how awful I had been and was hoping we could try and be friends," Quinn told the brunette.

"Sure I would like that," Rachel replied back to the blonde. Rachel was glad that she had another friend at the school besides Finn, although Finn was more her boyfriend than just a friend.
