A/N: glad you all liked the last chapter(: well this is the next, and to answer someone's question; you'll find out soon ;)
Someone was saying how Sam & Rachel should just be friends... who knows I might throw in a whole twist where Jacob is Rachel's love interest (its not, so dont start anything... lol)
I mean I can always throw in different twists and turns. just one thing;

Do. Not. Ask. For. Finchel.
I honestly hate the couple, (don't get me wrong they sound amazing together&do look cute) I really don't like them together. So no Finn/Rachel, but Finn does like (he thinks love) Rachel.
So, I don't know who Rachel's love interest is yet.

Anywho, let's get go on to the chapter.

"To know that one has a secret is to know half the secret itself"

- - - Rachel - - -

She's sitting in her (Noah's) bed, listening to Santana and Brittany gossip about whatever. They've been home for four hours already, and Noah is still not home. She was literally dragged throughout the whole mall (Well, half the mall), even though she didn't want to- she let Brittany drag her into baby GAP. She didn't buy anything, just looked around and saw just a few adorable clothes. She did buy a couple new dresses, and that's about it even if she was dragged through almost every single store.
She's not really listening to Santana or Brittany for the matter, she's been mindlessly nodding along and humming to herself.

"Rae!"

she shakes her head and looks over at Brittany and Santana, both looking at her weird.
"Yes?"

"Ya gonna answering the phone?"
She looks over at her cellphone and realizing it's been ringing for a while now. She shrugs, grabbing the phone and walks towards the bathroom.

"Hello?"
"Rachel? hey, it's Tristan"
"Tristan? Wh-why are you calling?"
"Well, when I called a friend of mine up he was telling me about moving to Lima. Don't you live there?"

Sam's her cousin's friend?

"Yes I do, um what's your friend's name?"
"Sam Evans"
Her heart dropped (the phone almost dropping too) Did Sam tell him anything?
"Oh really? So, um-"
"Can you ask your dads if Jake and I can stay over for the weekend?"
"What?"
"Jake and I are coming for a visit, do we need to get a hotel?"
"I uh- that'd be best"

She couldn't believe it, one of the main reasons she's in this mess is coming here. As much as she loves her cousin (can she even call him that now?), she kinda blames him.

why?
If she never went to his house, she wouldn't have gone to the party and wouldn't have gotten drunk, then have drunken sex with someone. She would have never got kicked-out/dis-owned by her own fathers. So yes, she's putting very little blame on her cousin (?)

"Hey Rae, puck's home- we're going to leave"

"Okay Britt"

"Rachel?"
"Sorry Tristan, what did you say?"
"Jake and I are coming for a visit in a couple of days, do you think you can meet us at the airport?"
"maybe, depends on what time."

she heard a knock on the door, she sighed and unlocked it. Noah's standing there with a confused look on his face.
"Who's on the phone?"

"Tristan, my cousin's coming here soon"

"Well, I'll call you to pick us up then. See you in a couple weeks!"
"Okay, uh bye Tristan"
"bye"

she quickly hangs up and moves out of the bathroom, and laying on the bed. Her thoughts rushing to her fast, it's all too much.
She can't believe Tristan and Jacob are coming to Lima within the next couple of weeks. what else is going to happen? Sam finding out her address?

"Rach?"

she looked up to see Noah standing there, she moves over to the 'side' she sleeps on and watches him sit next to her.
"Whats on your mind?"

"My cous-Tristan and his friend Jacob are coming for a visit in a couple of weeks, and they talked to Sam I guess they're friends"
She whispered, still looking at her phone trying to stop the tears from falling,

"Rach I dont know what to say"
she didn't speak, just curled up into his side. For 'siblings' they're closer then anyone else they know. Even if the guest room turned into her bedroom, she spends most nights sleeping in Noah's room. She just feels safer with Noah, and it's not weird. Before high school, she spent most nights at the puckerman's. Some how she'd end up in Noah's room one way or another. Even though she didn't sleep next to him, somehow she ended up in his bed. It's normal for them, it's just a bit odd now that they're 'siblings' before any of this, she could see herself being with Noah as girlfriend/boyfriend.

but now, not so much.

- - Puck- -

He gently laid Rachel down, and putting the blanket over her before walking out of the room. He took one last look at her before leaving the room.
How can one person take so much in under 3 months? going from an semi-perfect life she had to finding out she's pregnant, get kicked out and adopted to another family. Now her cousin- or whoever is coming for a visit?

"This is bullshit"

He's so unsure on everything now-a-days, before all of this happened he wanted to have a real chance with Rachel... now he has her in his bed almost every night, but not the way he wants it. Now he's her older brother, and ends up being the only person she'll talk to outside of the house. He walks out of his house, and calls Brittany (the two strangely became close when Brittany and Rachel became "sisters")

"i dont know how to help her this time"
"huh?"
"her cousin is coming up and apparently he's best friends or whatever to Sam, and they're coming up for a visit"
"oh wow"
"yeah, so can you come over?"
"i'll be there in 10 minutes"

He hangs up and heads back inside the house.

Out of everyone he can think of (including himself) the only person who can really cheer Rachel up, is Brittany. He doesn't know how but she is. It's really insane how Rachel calls, Kurt and Santana her best friends- yet half the time talks to only him & Brittany.

it's insane that's all.

.x.x.x.x.x.
