You're not imagining, it is another chapter in less than a week, be proud! In honor of Glee Season three starting tonight! I can't write after like I used to because I have to work almost as soon as the episode ends so, here's my contribution for the glee night. Hope you enjoy and the next chapter will be up soon!
Eventually the girls all were ready, even Rachel who had woken up an hour after the rest of them, feeling perfectly fine and well rested. They were at the church and it was 11. The wedding was an hour away and everyone was excited.
Kurt had gotten everything figured out and ready at the church, Santana had gotten the bride ready, Quinn, Tina, Mercedes and Rachel had gotten themselves ready and helped calm down Brittany and Santana in turns. Both were freaking out that today was it, the day when they were supposed to become number two in each others lives, moving the men as number one. Neither accepted it well.
"San, it's not going to change anything." Rachel said consolingly, "It's just a piece of paper, and a name change that's it. You're still her best friend"
"I'm not stupid, I know that but it still feels like it changes everything"
Rachel opened her mouth, to say something, she wasn't sure what but was saved when Quinn came in looking worried and confused.
"What's wrong now?" Rachel asked, frowning at everything going wrong for Brit's big day.
"Nothing...well not nothing but there's no reason to be concerned. It'll be alright" Quinn babbled.
"Quinn..." Santana growled warningly, "Today isn't the day to play these games"
"Sam called, apparently Puck is super hung over and..."
"Who let the fucker drink enough to get that hammered?" Santana interrupted.
Quinn glared a little at the interruption but shrugged saying, "Sam just said something seemed to upset him last night soon after they all got there and he started drinking like crazy."
Rachel's eyes widened and she turned to San who frowned, shaking her head slightly, "Rach it's not.."
"It's my fault! I upset him and now he's hung-over and probably moody and being horrible to everyone instead of performing his best man duties for Artie. I ruined the wedding! I knew I shouldn't have come."
Quinn by this point was really confused, "What are you talking about? How did you cause him to get drunk? You weren't even there and after your talk at the rehersal I'm sure he wasn't that upset just because you were here..."
Rachel took her hands away from her face to look at Quinn, "You don't remember what you dared me to do?"
Quinn arched an eyebrow, not remembering much of the truth or dare game at all.
"You dared her to text Puck she was in love with him and then called her a chicken and goaded her until she did it, despite the fact I told you both it was a bad idea" Santana snapped, glaring at the blond.
Quinn's eyes widened in shock, "I did what? Why'd you let me do that?" Quinn asked, returning San's glare, both ignoring Rachel now and just having a stare down.
"Wow this brings back fond memories," Rachel said sarcastically, and when the two girls looked at her, she went on, "One of you talking me into something that is incredibly stupid, me allowing myself to be coerced into said stupid action then you guys blaming each other for the fallout."
"What are you talking about?" Quinn asked while Santana said, "We don't do that"
It was Rachel's turn to raise an eyebrow as she said, "Oh really? Remember when I broke my arm?"
Flashback
"Come on Rach, you have to come tonight!" Santana begged, pouting at Rachel.
"I am not sneaking out to go to a party with you. I'm still grounded from the last time I went out with you, no San"
"Rach is right, she almost missed homecoming because of last time," Quinn said, giving Santana a pointed look, to show who she felt was responsible for that incident.
"Hey I apologized for that one but I need you both with me tonight. Please, Rachel!"
Sighing, Rachel said, "I don't know..."
San and Quinn both knew that was her almost saying yes so Quinn said, "Don't Rachel! She doesn't need us both there, Brit and I will go, it'll be fine."
Santana sent a glare at Quinn before saying, "Brit's going with Artie, you know that and Quinn will disappear with Trouty mouth as soon as we get there, you're the only one that will stick with me, please I've said please more in this conversation then in our whole friendship, that should tell you I need you, damn it!"
Rolling her eyes, Rachel finally nodded, "Fine but if anything goes wrong..."
"It won't, promise!" San said quickly grinning
THAT EVENING
"Are you sure this is safe?" Rachel asked for the millionth time as she stared out the window to the branch she was supposed to use to climb down.
"Come on B, it's fine, I've done it loads of times" Santana called/whispered up to her while Quinn looked on disapprovingly.
"Ok..here goes nothing" She said to herself before making the leap to the tree branch. She latched on and was fine but as she went to climb down the tree, a branch snapped and without even the time to scream, she was in the air and then on the ground, her arm bent underneath her in a not so pretty way.
"Oh my God! Rachel!" San and Quinn both called, forgetting the no yelling rule as they ran to her.
Rachel's dad's came out, to see what the noise was and went running to the girls, only to hear
"I told you this was a stupid idea. But no you had to have your own way, now look, Rachel's hurt, her arms probably broken. She could have a concussion or internal bleeding because of you!"
"It's not all my fault! How was I suppose to know that the twig over there would step on the one branch that wouldn't support her weight? She made the leap just fine like I said she would."
"Guys" Rachel called weakly, but they ignored her, to busy glaring at each other and bickering to remember the reason they were fighting was still on the ground.
"GIRLS, WHAT'S GOING ON?" One of Rachel's dads, Andy, Yelled shutting them up and causing them to move to turn to the men, which made both her dad's able to see her laying on the ground.
"Star? Rachel! Are you alright? What happened. Chris, call an ambulance, now! Hurry,"
end flashback
"Do you all remember that?" Rachel asked them, noting the sheepish looks on both their faces as the nodded slowly.
"But that was then..it's different now" Santana started.
"Really? So you're not arguing about who's to blame instead of helping me fix it?"
That got them both to look down for a second before finally Quinn asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I need to talk to Noah"
"Are you sure.." Santana started, stopping by the glare on Rachel's face.
"I need to talk to Noah" Rachel said firmly, before Quinn and Santana nodded and Quinn got out her phone.
"Honey? Where's Puck?" She listened for a moment, "I know what you said but... Rachel wants to talk to him." "Samuel Matthew Evans tell me where Puck is right now or... Thank you sweetie, love you" she hung up turned to Rachel with a self satisfied smirk, "He's downstairs in one of the conference rooms; 3C."
Rachel nodded, giving Quinn a quick hug before running out of the room and down stairs, only just hearing "THE WEDDING'S IN AN HOUR, DON'T BE LATE AND DON'T MESS UP YOUR HAIR!" from Santana
She found the conference room without running into any of the other Gleeks which was a miracle in itself and opened the door to see Noah, head down on the table, looking almost like he was sleeping.
"Oh, Noah" She said softly, causing him to look up, locking eyes with hers.
"Rach.."
