Sorry I have been lousy with updating lately. I have been going through a really hard time. Though I'm not through it yet, I am going to try and update more often. At least once a week.
So here is how the polls stood..
Skip: 6 Don't skip: 5
But that's just from what I can tell. So here's what I'll do.
One or two more chapters of these two months and then it will be to graduation… how does that sound?
Quinn and Rachel were sat in glee club, wishing the day would end already. The teacher was still helping out with the club to make her old mentor happy and so that she could spend a little extra time with her secret girlfriend. They were sat in the back of the choir room, their hands joined discreetly as Mr Schue gave the group a pep talk about regionals, which was going to be happening in the next month.
"Okay so let's all branch off and work on our vocals. I want you all to pair up and come up with songs that really show your voice and show a feeling. Get to it. Remember, Ms Fabray and I are available to be partners with and just here for help." The Spanish teacher clapped his hands and turned to the piano, shuffling some papers.
"Miss Fabray, I would like to partner with you." Rachel said loudly with a small smirk. Quinn nodded her head and stood.
"Do you have a song in mind?" she asked professionally.
"Kiss Me by New Found Glory. It is a great song to do a duet with and it would also show off my voice as well as yours."
Across the room, a girl was watching the teacher and student interact. She watched at the teacher placed unnecessary touches on the divas arm. She watched how the brunette's eyes sparkled when she made the other woman laugh.
Mercedes Jones wasn't stupid.
The girl had suspected something for a while now but she didn't quite know what it could have been. Rachel was always first in to Miss Fabray's lesson and she was always the last one to leave.
They had never been friends. They only really knew each other from glee club but over the last year they had become slightly closer because of their diva-offs.
Glee club was soon over and everyone was leaving. Mercedes grabbed Rachel's arm. "Hey, can I talk to you for a moment?"
The girl noticed that the talkative singer watched Miss Fabray walk out of the door, only confirming her suspicions.
"Sure, only you do have to be quick, I've got plans. What's up?" the brunette asked. She was a little taken aback that Mercedes would want to talk to her but she would help out wherever she could.
"Rachel you need to stop this thing you have for Miss Fabray. I mean, I see you looking at her and you're all over her. I'm cool with the whole in to girl's thing and I know we haven't been close and we've had our differences but I care about you Rachel. I don't want you to be crushing on someone who can't love you back or whatever." White hot panic ran through Rachel. They hadn't been found out completely but she didn't like that Mercedes knew that she loved the woman.
"I can't say I know what you're talking about." She denied, flicking her hair over her shoulder as she grabbed her bag off of one of the choir room chairs.
"Okay so you're in denial about the way you feel. I'm here for you Rach. And for the record, I think she likes you back. Obviously she can't do anything about it because she's your teacher, but girl if you were a year older she would be yours." The girl winked, making Rachel smile.
The two hugged before going their separate ways. The brunette made sure that her rival diva was nowhere in sight before hopping into Quinn's car.
"Are you okay baby?" The blonde asked, concerned at the slight panic in her girlfriends eyes.
"Mercedes knows."
"What? How?" Quinn started to panic too.
"Calm down. She knows I love you because she is freakishly good at reading body language and eyes. She also thinks that you love me back but she told me that you wouldn't do anything about it because you're a teacher." Rachel sighed before putting her hand on the blonde's neck and pulling her into a soft kiss. "Promise me you won't get scared and run? Promise me that. I am so scared of losing you."
The blonde saw the pure fear in her girlfriend's eyes. She placed her hand on the girl's cheek as their foreheads rested against each other.
"I'm not going to go anywhere Rach. I love you with all my heart and I'm not going to run from that. If we get found out then I will take the punishment. It will suck but I will take it because I love you. How about we go pick Beth up and then go home and watch a few movies with some hot chocolate?" Quinn suggested. Puck had called the teacher at lunch, asking if she could take the young girl for the night and then drop her off at school the next day.
"That sounds amazing."
Beth spent the evening curled up between Rachel and Quinn. It was perfect. Both women knew that they would be happy if every night could be spent like this.
Dropping the young girl at school the next day was hard on the teacher. She didn't want to say goodbye. She didn't know when she would next see the young girl. Rachel stood back and let the mother say her goodbye. She was shocked and touched when Beth ran up to her and hugged her as well.
"I'll miss you Rach." She said before running into the playground.
The couple got to school and went their separate ways.
"I saw you." A stern voice slapped the brunette as she was getting her things from her locker.
"I don't know what you mean Mercedes." She sighed.
"Yesterday after glee in Miss Fabray's car. Do you know what I mean yet?" she said slightly softer, confusing Rachel. She couldn't tell what kind of reaction the diva was having.
"Can we not talk about this in such a crowded place?" The brunette rubbed her forehead and dragged the larger girl into an empty classroom.
"Rachel, why weren't you just honest with me yesterday and tell me that you were actually with her." the girl looked hurt.
"I'm sorry okay. It was a bit of a shock to hear that someone actually knew. I mean, I have been dying to talk to someone about everything but I haven't been able to. I wanted to tell you about everything so badly yesterday. Please Mercedes, please don't say anything to anyone. It's not long to graduation and then we are going to be open about everything." Rachel started pacing, fear flowing through her veins.
"I won't tell anyone. You have my word." The girl took a seat in the empty classroom. "How long have you two been together?"
"Well it kind of started off as a one night stand type thing. I met her in a club during the summer. Neither of us knew that we went to the same school, let alone that she was my teacher. But then when school started she tried to ignore me and everything that she felt,"
"But you never get ignored." Mercedes laughed.
"Exactly. So I got my way and won her heart." Rachel shrugged, smiling at the memory.
"Just be careful Rach. I'm here for you." The rival diva reminded.
-o- Quinn's place –o-
Rachel had a leg either side of the blondes thighs, her hands in the woman's soft hair as her lips worked on her teacher neck. Quinn couldn't help but let the moans escape her lips.
The diva was about to lift her girlfriends shirt when the blondes phone rang. She groaned and got off of Quinn, allowing her to find her phone in her discarded jacket.
"Hello? Yes this is Beth's mother. WHAT? Yes certainly. I will be there in five minutes. Thank you very much." The look in Quinn's eyes when she got off of the phone scared the brunette.
"Baby what's wrong?" Rachel asked, following the woman who was storming towards the door, hopping to pull her shoes on as she went.
"That fucking useless shit. He just left her at school. It's past six Rachel. School has been out for three hours." She shouted. The brunette knew that it wasn't at her but she was still slightly worried.
"Didn't they call him?"
"They called him and his parents. They couldn't get hold of him. His parents said he's fucking left the state and not told anyone. I'm going to pick her up. I won't be long." She kissed Rachel's cheek and picked up her car keys.
"Wait, I'll drive my car. You are way too angry to drive." The brunette took out her keys and led the angry woman out of the door.
So, I know this is also short but oh well. Review and the next one will be longer.
