s 9 that night and Dianna, Cory, Serena and I were in the room Marie and I shared. She was out with Puck. Kate, Mandy and Anna were at the hospital, Evan and Rebecca were at his place, Hannah was out, Louisa was at Lauren's; Alexa was at Tom's and Dad and Jennifer were out. The only ones in the house were Pam, Lily and myself.
"Wow the auditions were long," Dianna said.
She and Cory were on Marie's bed and Serena and I were on mine.
"Yeah but you've got such a great voice," Cory said.
Dianna softly smiled; "thank you."
"For someone so quiet," Serena said.
"The glee club list will be up tomorrow," I said.
"Yeah but I think we'll all get in," Dianna confirmed.
"We left Ohio because of the people," Cory told us.
"Oh," was Serena's reply
"Yeah not everyone there's accepting of homosexuals," Dianna said.
Cory looked at me, referring to Rachel's dads. I nodded.
"Where's her mom?" I asked.
"Um, her mom..."
"Sorry."
"No it's ok. I know you won't say anything."
"Ok. And no. I won't."
I noticed a text message on my phone. I flipped my phone open and read it;
sweethart the flight's delayed due to snow. xoxo.
It was from Lily. I sighed, my shoulders moving up and down.
"Yes?" Serena said into my long blonde hair.
"The flight's delayed."
"Oh."
"I gotta text Evan hangon."
She nodded.
I texted Evan the news and flipped my phone closed.
"Yeah so go on," I said, looking up at Cory.
"...took off when Rachel was little after finding out her Jewish dad was gay," Dianna finished.
"Oh wow."
"Yeah. So Rachel clearly doesn't have a problems with homosexuals."
"Yeah well clearly."
"Is that why she is the way she is?" Serena wondered.
"Yeah. She acts the diva part to cover up how insecure she is about everything."
"Oh."
"We got to know each other during 'Wicked'. Her mom's an actress in... London, I think it is."
"Wow."
"And how long have you 2 known each other?"
"Oh, about a week," I answered.
"Oh."
A knock came on my door. We looked up to see Lily standing in the doorway.
"Honey do you want some dinner?"she asked.
"You're cooking?" I asked.
"Yeah I've actually soberd up. For once."
"Oh. Yeah pasta's fine."
"Ok."
"Pasta, my favorite. I'll help," Cory said getting up from the bed.
"You cook?"Dianna asked, looking at him.
"Yeah," he answered turning back around to look at her.
"Oh."
Cory followed Lily downstairs.
"I guess I'll get up too,"Serena said, getting up and going after them.
She left.
"Yes, the baby's mine," Dianna told me; "Puck told me that you'd brought her up."
"Oh."
"Yeah, Puck, Cory and I got into a big fight about it back in Ohio. I'd told Cory it was his when it was really Puck's. My parents kicked me out. Mr. Schue divorced his first wife after she faked being pregnant. He and Miss Pillsbury want kids, so they're taking care of mine. I'm staying with my sister. Puck's the dad."
"Oh. Wow ok."
Silence filled the room.
"I've a daughter as well. She's 3. She's up in the city with my best friend."
"You're from New York?"
"Well, New Orleans, originally."
"Oh."
Pause.
"We need to go grocery shopping," I muttered.
