Rachel woke up and instantly didn't feel good her head was pounding and she felt like crap she cried herself to sleep the previous night she felt as though Shelby was ignoring her that's how it all started with her fathers they acted like she didn't exist over time and it all eventually came to a stop Rachel didn't matter to them anymore.

Rachel was debating on if she should attend school that day or not she decided that she would because she needed to go glee and learn the routines.

She threw on some yoga pants and a wicked t-shirt and walked out of her room and into the bathroom to take some Advil and walked out of the bathroom.

Rachel walked down stairs to see Kristin and Shelby having coffee at the table "Jesse is coming to pick me up for school" she said flatly walking out of the door to go wait for him.

Jesse picked her up and not much was said but they got to the school and kissed until the bell rang and parted there ways.

First period went by pretty fast and Rachel was dreading second which was private voice with her mother.

Rachel walked into her room and sat down "what would you like to work on today" asked Shelby smiling at Rachel not knowing anything was wrong.

"May I go work on something by myself please?"

"okay you don't want me coming to help" Shelby said handing Rachel a key to a practice room.

"Not really" she said taking the key from Shelby

Rachel was glad she knew how to play piano so she could work by herself she had the perfect song to sing.

She played the intro the song.

Whispering
Here the ghosts in the moonlight
Sorrow doing a new dance
Through their bone, through their skin

Listening
To the souls in the fool's night
Fumbling mutely with their rude hands
And there's heartache without end

See the father bent in grief
The mother dressed in mourning
Sister crumbles, and the neighbors grumble
The preacher issues warnings

History
Little miss didn't do right
Went and ruined all the true plans
Such a shame. Such a sin.

Mystery
Home alone on a school night
Harvest moon over the blue land
Summer longing on the wind

Had a sweetheart on his knees
So faithful and adoring
And he touched me. And I let him love me.
So let that be my story

listening
For the hope, for the new life
Something beautiful, a new chance
Hear its whispering
There again

Shelby was there for the whole thing and had tears in her eyes because it was clear something was wrong with and she didn't know how to fix it.

Shelby walked in behind Rachel and wrapped her arms around her "baby what's wrong"

"No you can't just hug me and call me baby to make everything better maybe you should open your eyes and actually see what's wrong" Rachel said getting up and leaving her confused mother alone.

The rest of the day went by really slow for Rachel she still had a pounding headache and her medicine was wearing off and she still had to survive glee before she could finally go home.

She found Jesse before glee and told him everything that was going on "Rachel I really think you need to go home come on lets go talk to Shelby"

"But I am going to miss everything I can't miss learning the routine"

"Rach you're an amazing performer I will take you to my studio and teach you everything when you're feeling better I promise you just need to get your rest"

"Fine" she said knowing that she wasn't going to win this one.

"Shelby Rachel doesn't feel good may I please take her home" He said Rachel and Jesse were holding hands and she was kind of hiding behind him.

"Okay Rachel are you okay do you need me to come home"

"No I just need rest" She said still having that flatness in her voice.

"Ok feel better" she went to cup her check but Rachel just walked away. Shelby gave Jesse a pleading look knowing that Jesse was the only person she would listen to.

The pair drove to Rachel's house they had an hour before Jesse had to be back so he made sure Rachel was all settled "Jesse I know you and my mom are close but can you please not tell her what's wrong she needs to figure this one on her own"

"OK I promise I will" Jesse said kissing her forehead.

Jesse left about an hour later promising to call Rachel later to talk to her about practice and what she had missed.

Rachel woke up just as Shelby was getting home 'great she thought she's going to try and talk to me.

Sure enough there was a knock on her door but it wasn't Shelby it was Kristin. "Hi can I come in?" asked the adorable blonde

Rachel wasn't mad at her she wasn't the one who was ignoring her even though she was reason why Shelby was she wasn't mad because she knew Kristin wasn't to blame

"Sure of course"

"What's been going on with you kid"

"If I tell you, you can't go back and tell my mom"

"OK I promise" Rachel could tell she was genuine

"My mom has been ignoring me lately and I think she's starting to not wanting me this is how it all started with my dad's them doing simple things as saying goodnight she hasn't for the past 3 nights and she so focused on glee which is good but it just seems like she's forgetting simple things even before you got here. Last week she gave me cheese pizza and I'm a vegan she has never forgotten that and it just seems like she doesn't care. She doesn't get that I still haven't healed from my father's departure and that I still need her."

It really seemed like Kristin cared and that she was worried she pulled the now crying girl into her arms.

"Thanks for listening to me" Rachel said realizing that they had their first moment. Kristin really got why the child was so distressed.

"I think where your ready you should talk to you mom tell her what's bothering you and work things out, don't worry I will keep my word and keep my mouth quiet about this and wont tell Shelby a single thing.

Kristin walked out into the living room "what happened what did she said? Asked Shelby.

"Sorry I promised Rachel I wouldn't tell you and I don't want her mad at me too"

"Come on Kristin please tell me she's my kid and I need to know how I can fix this."

"I'm sorry I gave her my word all I can say is Shelby you messed up and you need to figure out what's wrong for yourself it will do no good if I just tell you"

Shelby knew that her best friend was right so she went to Rachel's room and knocked softly and hear no response so she slowly walked in.

"Rachel can you please talk to me?"

"Mom you should know what's wrong" said Rachel taking out her headphones to see if Shelby has come to her senses to actually know what was wrong with Rachel.

"Rachel I can't read minds and Kristin won't tell me"

Rachel slightly smiled that Kristin backed her up she had just scored some mega points because Rachel thought for sure that she would tell her friend.

"FINE YOU WANT TO KNOW WHATS WRONG? What's wrong is that you are ignoring me; you haven't come to say goodnight to be in almost a week you forgot I was a vegan and you act like glee is more important. Want to know why this is bothering me so much? Because this is how it all started out with my fathers they slowly started doing little things something as simple as not coming in at night before bed and then they just got bigger like the vegan thing and I feel as though your slipping away"

"Rachel I didn't know I promise I didn't"

"WHAT EVER IM GOING TO RILEYS" she stormed out of the room and down stairs where Shelby tried to follow her but was stopped by Kristin "just let her cool down Shelbs"

"How can I she thinks I'm leaving her" Shelby said with tears streaming down her face. Kristin moved her over to the couch so she could lie down.

Kristin calmed her down playing with Shelby's hair just like she used to back in collage they were both glad that they finally had their friend back.

Meanwhile at Riley's it was the complete opposite; Rachel was fuming she paced back and forth and wouldn't listen to a word Riley said. Riley took out her phone and texted Shelby to let her know that Rachel was safe and that she was going to crash there tonight and Shelby replied with a thank you and was okay with letting Rachel have her space. After she was done with Shelby Riley called the only person that could calm Rachel down Jesse.

It rang twice before he picked up "Jesse Rachel is freaking out can you please come over were at my house"

"I'll be right there" he replied

Jesse got there about 10 minutes later.

"Jesse" Rachel ran to him and he wrapped his arms around him and instaly felt better.

"What happened Rachel?

"She wouldn't leave me alone she kept asking what was wrong and I finally exploded and screamed what was wrong, but can we forget about that and just hang out, Jesse can you just teach me what I missed yesterday?"

"Of course" they spent the next 2 hours teaching Rachel the notes and the dance that Kristin taught them earlier that day. After that they went to go get some takeout and just chilled.

After dinner Riley gave them some space and went down stairs to watch TV thank god her parents were out of town. Jesse and Rachel stayed upstairs.

"Jesse?"

"Yes Rachel"

"What's going to happen when you go off to college in LA what will happen to us?"

"Well were just going to get Skype and write letters and texts were going to make this work your my other half Rachel I promise I will never leave you for some girl out there, there not good enough for me only you."

"I love you" Rachel said.

"I love you too" Jesse said kissing Rachel

Jesse left at around 10 and Riley and Rachel feel asleep at around 11 because they had school the next day. While Rachel was upstairs with Jesse Shelby ran some clothes to Riley for Rachel as well as her school bag.

The next morning they woke up and got some breakfast at the Lima bean and went to school. Second period was a voice lesson but Riley and Jesse were in this one and they worked on what is this feeling and perfected the harmonies.

"What song do you want to do for your duet?" asked Shelby to Jesse and Rachel.

"Can we have some time to think about it and let you know if about a week we want to explore a lot of options so what we choose is perfect" said Jesse speaking for the two of them.

"Sure of course and Jesse for you solo you picked Boston by Agustana right?

"Yep" he replied

The rest of the day went by really fast and soon it was time to go to glee and they worked on the dance before and after dinner and it was almost done it would need one more practice to complete Kristin did a great job she added a lot of their famous lifts Jesse and Rachel being paired together of course it was now Thursday and Rachel still had no idea about Jesse taking Rachel out and he was getting excited.

Rachel finally thought it was time to talk it out with Shelby so she went up to her after practice.

"Mom I'm ready to talk to you"
