Rachel woke up with her head resting on something warm and hard. Keeping her eyes closed tight she was afraid what she would find when she opened them.
" You talk in your sleep." Slone said with a laugh. Rachel felt his chest vibrate with a laugh. "Yes i know you're awake your breathing change." Rachel decided it was time to open her eyes and face the music. Pulling away Rachel looked up at him and gave an uneasy smile. "Don't worry we didn't sleep together if you are wondering. Well we did sleep together just not in the biblical sense." Once again Slone couldn't help but laugh. Rachel felt like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. Sliding off the bed she felt even more relief when all her clothes was still on. "How did you sleep?" Slone asked like it was the most normal thing for them to be waking up together.
"Better than I have in a while." Now that Rachel thought of it she slept the best she had since the night of the accident. Then she thought of something. "What did I say in my sleep?" Rachel asked a blush colouring her cheeks. Slone pushed a piece of hair out of her face.
"You kept calling out for Noah." Slone watched as Rachel's face dropped. "You were telling him you loved him." Rachel just kept quite and stared at her feet. The amount of love she had for Noah didn't just go away no matter how hard she tried. Slone stared at her and held her a little tighter. Rachel shut her eyes and relaxed into the heat of his body for a few minutes before her eyes snapped open.
"What time is it?" Rachel sat up looking around the room for a clock. Slone picked up his phone off the table.
"9:30" He told her as he show her the screen of his phone. Rachel jumped off the bed in a panic.
"I have to go. Santana is going to be freaking." Rachel headed out of the room to the front door to get her shoes.
"Who's Santana?" Slone followed closely behind.
"My sister for all intensive purposes." Rachel was pulled her shoes on a just as Slone stopped in front of her.
"Can I see you again?" The hopefulness in his eyes warmed Rachel heart. Against her better judgement she gave him a simple one word answer.
"Yes." Rachel was about to walk out the door when he stopped her.
"Your number?" He asked holding his phone out to her. Rachel grabbed the phone, quickly punched in the number and handed it back to him with a smile. Taking his phone with one hand he pulled her closer with the other. Slone brushed some hair away from her eyes before placing a kiss on her lips. When they pulled away both had smiles on their faces. "I'll call you." Rachel nodded her head before running out the door to her car. The whole drive home Rachel's head was spinning. What the hell had she done? There was so many things wrong with what she did the night before but she just couldn't bring herself to care. The drive home ended way to fast for her. Getting closer to her house she could see cars lining the street and her drive way was full. Stopping in front of the house Rachel blocked the end of the drive way with her car. She wasn't even half way up the path when the door flung open and Santana was running towards her.
"Thank god you're OK." Santana sobbed out as she pulled Rachel into her arms. Rachel hugged her friend back and patted her on the back. Rachel dislodged herself from Santana's arms so the two could go into the house that was full of waiting people. As soon as she walked through the door the house was filled with a flurry of activity. Everyone was coming towards her all talking a million miles a minute. Before she had a chance to react Noah had appeared out of nowhere and wrapped Rachel in his arms. For just a minute Rachel let him hold her before she pushed him away.
"Don't touch me." Rachel kicked her shoes off than went up to her room away from everyone and everything. Noah stood at the bottom of the stairs watching Rachel's retreating form. Santana stood beside him looking to where her friend had disappeared.
"Thanks everyone for coming over but I think everyone should go now." Santana turned to the crowd that had gather when they learned of a missing Rachel. Everyone nodded and started towards the door except Noah. "You can leave now Puck." Santana stood watching him for a few minutes before he finally moved. As Noah was walking to the door he turned back.
"Please tell her I love her." He lowered his head and left. After everyone had left it was just Santana and Rachel's dads standing in the living room.
"I'm gonna go talk to her find out where the hell was she." Santana fumed as she stormed towards Rachel's room. Stopping in front of the door Santana took a deep breath before walking in.
"So care to tell me where the hell you were all night?" Santana stood with her hands on her hips staring down at Rachel as she laid in bed.
"I was with a boy." Rachel answered without hesitation. There was no point in lying.
"What do you mean you were with a boy?" Sitting on the edge of the bed Santana turned so she was facing Rachel.
"I met him at the store and he asked if I wanted to hang out so I did. We hung out at his place and then slept." Rachel turned over so Santana was no longer staring at her back. "It was nice you know. To be around someone who doesn't know what happened. Who doesn't look at me with pity. It was nice." Santana couldn't help but soften.
"I know sweetie." Santana started running her fingers through Rachel's hair. "So what is his name?" The girls smiled softly at each other.
"Slone."
"Are you going to see him again?" As much as Santana wanted her friend to say know she would support her decisions.
"I don't know San. I really don't know"
