Once again I'm not sure when I will be able to update again so just keep an eye out.
Not sure if I like this chapter…
~~~ Lopez-Pierce House ~~~
Grace sat on Sofia's lap with her arm wrapped around her shoulder while the Latina had her arms wrapped around Grace's waist.
"Sooo...will you go out on a date with me?" Grace nervously asked
"Hmm...Well I don't know...I'm gonna have to think about it" Sofia replied with a wicked glint in her eye
Grace blushed and playfully nudged the Latina. Sofia just giggled.
"Of course I will go on a date with you." The brunette smiled brightly
Grace matched that smile tenfold before she leaned in and kissed Sofia. It felt so good to be able to do that now.
"Good because our date will be awesome" Grace replied.
"I don't doubt that but...do we really need to go on a date? I mean we already know everything about each other...can't we just jump straight to the sex?" Sofia asked as she let her eyes travel down to Grace's chest.
"Sofia!" Grace actually slapped her on the arm
"What? I'm kidding!" Sofia laughed.
She wasn't kidding.
"You're terrible" Grace pouted
"You love it" Sofia replied as she held onto Grace a little tighter
"I love you...you're not going to turn into a horny teenage boy are you?" Grace asked while Sofia continued to look at her boobs.
Sofia was starting to think her mom was right...boobs really are awesome.
"I'm not a horny teenage boy...I'm a horny teenage girl. With an incredibly hot girlfriend so I can't be blamed" Sofia replied
Grace just smiled
"You called me your girlfriend" she said in wonderment.
"Well yeah...because you are" Sofia bashfully replied.
Grace just smiled. It still felt like some kind of dream that here she was finally Sofia's girlfriend. She could not be happier.
"Wait" Sofia stated
"What?" Grace looked worried
"What are we going to tell our moms?"
"Oh…um…the truth? I mean I think they all pretty much know what's been going on" Grace replied
"Well yeah but…I was kinda hoping you'd say we could totally mess with them and pretend like were not dating so then they can't have that stupid 'open door policy' that they insist on having" Sofia replied with a smirk
Grace just laughed
"Actually that is a good idea" Grace replied suddenly thinking of the possibilities
"I know right? So are we going to tell them?" She asked again
Biting her bottom lip and looking totally adorable Grace shook her head; Sofia couldn't help the grin that appeared.
~~~ The Next Day at School ~~~
Sofia and Grace walked down the hallway towards their lockers hand in hand this wasn't exactly new for the two girls before the whole drama began they would hold hands all the time or were always touching each other and Sofia wonders how frigging obvious it all was now that she thinks about it. They passed Becky who just raised her eyebrow at their linked hands then gave the two girls a shit-eating grin as she walked by.
"Ugh Becky is such a bitch" Sofia huffed
"She's ok…you know when she's not talking and is at a safe distance" Grace replied
Sofia just laughed
"You don't think she'd try and kill me in my sleep now that I'm Head cheerleader do you?" Sofia asked with actual worry in her voice.
"I don't think so…I think she has bigger problems to deal with at the moment."
"I guess…remind me to never knock you up while were still in high school." Sofia replied
"I'd like to see you try Miss. Lopez-Pierce" Grace whispered into the Latina's ear in a husky voice making her shiver
Sofia didn't have a response to that. She wasn't used to Grace being so forward, usually it was her that would make the other girl blush and become all nervous but for once Grace had stumped her and left her a little stunned. Grace noticed as well and just smirked at her win. Sofia just chuckled and shook her head at Grace's gloating smile; she was so going to get her back for that.
The pair headed further down the hallway giggling to each other when Grace stopped suddenly and let go of Sofia's hand. Looking confused about the loss of Grace's hand and her suddenly stoping Sofia looked over to where Grace was looking. But all she could see was the retreating form of Hannah walking away from them. Sofia looked back at Grace who looked sad and guilty.
"Gracie?"
"I'm sorry…it's just…I still care about her and I hurt her so much…" Grace replied sadly
"Hey…it's ok to miss her…but don't beat yourself up about it." Sofia told her softly
Grace just nodded as Sofia pulled her into a hug.
~~~ Later that Day ~~~
Sofia was wondering through the library looking for a book for English when she saw a girl sitting by herself absentmindedly flipping through a book. It was clear as day that she wasn't going to read it or do any work so Sofia hesitantly walked up to the table and cleared her throat getting the other girl's attention.
"Hey"
She looked up from her book and frowned
"Can I sit here for a while?" Sofia asked
"Whatever" She shrugged
Sofia took a seat
"I looked it up…King Cross would totally kick my Lima Heights ass." Sofia said
"Damn straight" Hannah replied
Sofia chuckled slightly then sighed
"Look Hannah…I…I want to apologise to you" She started
"Don't bother"
"I know you love her…probably just as much as I do…so I know how much you're hurting right now." Sofia replied
Hannah clenched her jaw and just listened
"I'm sorry for how this happened, it wasn't fair to you"
"You know this is the exact same spot you came and told me I should ask her out and you told me you were straight and that you and her were nothing but best friends." Hannah replied sounding a little bitter
"I'm sorry" Was all Sofia could offer
"I just want Grace to be happy…and for some unknown fucked up reason you make her happy…so if you hurt her I will destroy you." Hannah replied with conviction
"I don't doubt that…but you don't have to worry. I don't plan on hurting her. She gave me a second chance and I'm going to take it and not mess it up." Sofia replied
"Good"
Sofia nodded at stood up ready to leave
"I'll stand by our agreement" Hannah said making Sofia stop and turn around looking slightly confused
"I'm not going to be the crazy jealous ex and try to cause trouble" She clarified
"Thanks" Sofia replied
~~~ A Lesbian and a Pregnant Cheerleader Walk into A Bar… ~~~
"So judging by this morning I'm guessing you and your LUG are together now?" Becky asked as she sat across from Grace
They were sitting outside again and Grace was waiting for Sofia when Becky showed up
"If you must know, yes we are" Grace replied with an annoyed voice but she couldn't keep the small smile off her face
"Well congratulations I'm sure you two will be very happy together on the Isle of Lesbos" Becky smirked
"Thank you" Grace replied not caring that Becky was once again trying to insult her
"Ugh you're not going to eat that are you?" Becky said while pointing to Grace's sandwich
"Why? What's wrong with it?" Grace asked
"The smell makes me want to heave…god I hate being pregnant" She replied
Taking pity on the girl Grace put her food to the side and would eat it later.
"Do you know if it's a boy or a girl yet?" Grace asked
Becky nodded as she absentmindedly picked at her own food. Grace looked at her expectantly.
"It's a boy" Becky stated
"Have you decided what you're going to do?" Grace hesitantly asked
"I'm not keeping it" Becky replied without a pause
"Why not?"
"Because Gracie I'm 16 I don't know the first thing about looking after a baby and I'm probably going to be homeless anyways so this way the kid can go to a family who actually wants it." Becky replied
"But what about when you're older and you get married and start a family"
"What about it?"
"Well…what if your son comes looking for you?" Grace asked
"As far as I'm concerned I don't have a son. All I have is a baby renting out my uterus until it's time to go." Becky replied
"But-"
"Look Grace until you've been a pregnant 16 year old you have no idea what it's like and what I'm going through. I know I fucked up and now I'm going to pay for that for the rest of my life so please spare me your judgement." Becky snapped before she got up and walked off.
~~~ A Jock and a Ballet Dancer ~~~
"So do you know what you're gonna say?" Toby asked
"I think so" Ben replied as he looked back at the list Toby had given him
All that was on the list was as followed:
Has great hair
Best basketball player on the team
Awesome guns
Easy on the eyes
"Great so she usually comes by here in five minutes time so put those acting skills to good use and make me proud little bro" Toby told him
"Do you think this is really going to work?" Ben asked a little unsure
"Dude! Of course it's gonna work. Who can resist the promise of a guy like me? And who can say no to an adorable ballet dancer who sings so my plan is faultless." He replied
Ben still didn't look sure about all this but he was honoured that Toby had asked so he was going to do it anyway.
"Oh crap! There she is! Ok Benny boy this is your cue."
Ben nodded and turned to go but was stopped by Toby
"Wait"
"What?" Ben asked
Toby poured a little bit of water onto his hands then started styling Ben's hair
"There…that's better. Can't go talking to hot chicks with bad hair." He stated
He then turned Ben back around and gave him a slight push towards his destination. Ben just giggled at him.
Ben walked up to a really pretty brunette girl who was standing by her locker getting her books out for her next class, while Toby watched from around the corner.
"Excuse me Maya?" Ben spoke up
The girl was a little startled because normally the little kids stayed in their part of the school and never really came around to the high school area.
"Um…hi there" She replied
"I'm Ben Lopez-Pierce" He offered her his hand; she quickly shook it not really knowing what was going on.
"Hi Ben…um…are you lost or something?" She asked
"No…I'm here to talk to you about someone with great hair, the best basketball player on the team and has guns…oh and is easy on the eyes." He replied reading straight from the piece of paper
Maya raised her eyebrow at the little boy, after finish reading Ben looked up with a smile. Maya leaned over ever so slightly and saw on the piece of paper the words 'Toby's Great Plan to getting Maya' the girl just rolled her eyes
"Let me guess this boy is someone called Toby Fabray?" She asked
"Um…yes" Ben replied
Maya sighed and closed her locker
"Listen Ben I don't mean to be rude but you can go and tell Toby that by getting a kid to do his dirty work will not fly with me and if he thinks for a second that it's charming or…or cute it's so not!" She stated then turned to leave but then quickly came back
"And another thing his guns aren't that great and his hair is stupid" She said
Not really knowing what to do Ben called out to the girl
"Wait!"
Maya sighed and turned back around
"What?"
"You should give him a chance" He replied
"Why should I? He's just another stupid meathead jock who thinks he can have whoever he wants. He's rude and annoying and insensitive." Maya ranted
"Well yeah…he is all those things but that's only when he's at school. At home he's great" Ben replied
"What? What are you talking about?"
"Well he's kinda like my big brother. Our moms are best friends and he has been the best big brother I could have. He helped me with those bullies who were being mean to me. And he said that he's gonna teach me how to drive and shave and all the different guy stuff that my moms won't know about because their girls. And he does it because he wants to not because he has too. All I'm saying is that Toby is a good guy" Ben rambled then finished with a smile.
Maya just stood there taking in what the boy had said.
~~~ The Theatre ~~~
Amy and Rachel had a natural chemistry together on stage which was a big plus for the show. Normally it was hard to find a group that worked well together but for the main cast they were pretty lucky. Amy's voice was strong but had a softer and gentler sound whereas Rachel was a powerhouse which really suited their characters. Rachel noted that Amy's voice kind of reminded her of Quinn's but obviously Rachel would always prefer Quinn's voice to anyone else. The two women found themselves up on stage with just the piano man (oddly enough his name was also Brad) and them.
The two women performed 'In His Eyes' and like with everything she sang Rachel gave it her all. After the song had finished the two heard someone applauding them they turned to see Jesse sitting in the audiences clapping with a wide grin on his face.
"I have to say ladies that was pretty spectacular." He told them as he got up and walked over to the stage.
"Thanks" Amy replied a little bashfully
Rachel just smiled
"I have to agree. Amy you are very talented" Rachel said encouragingly
"Wow getting a compliment like that from Rachel Berry…that's a big thing" Jesse smirked
Rachel just rolled her eyes
"I'm a grown woman Jesse I have out grown some of my less favourable qualities…though I still know that I am incredibly talented I just know now that there are some others who are almost as talented as me, Amy being one of them" Rachel replied with her own smirk
Jesse just laughed
"Don't you love how in a round-about way she just complimented you but still made herself sound better?" He asked Amy
Amy just giggled and nodded
"Oh hush you. You were just as bad as me…worse actually" Rachel replied
"It's true…but like you I've out grown some of that…not much because clearly I am more talented than either of you as I am playing two characters." Jesse added
"That's only because the role was male. If it were Dr. Jekyll and Mrs. Hyde then I would outperform you any day Jesse St. James"
"Is that a challenge?" Jesse smirked
"You bet your ass it's a challenge" Rachel replied with her own smirk.
"Ok I accept the challenge. Brad, It's a Dangerous Game" He said to the man behind the piano
"But I haven't practiced that one yet" Rachel said quickly
"Well then that's good for me then" He replied with a smug smile
Amy quickly gave Rachel her music folder and gave her the lyrics. Rachel quickly noted which key it was in and waited for her music cue.
(Rachel/Lucy)
I feel your fingers brushing my shoulder
Your tempting touch as it tingles my spine
Watching your eyes
As they invade my soul
Forbidden pleasures
I'm afraid to make mine
At the touch of your hand
At the sound of your voice
At the moment your eyes meet mine
I am out of my mind
I am out of control
Full of feelings I can't define
Jesse came up behind her and grazed his hand over her shoulder before he started his part.
(Jesse/Hyde)
It's a sin with no name
Like a tiger to tame
And my senses proclaim
It's a dangerous game.
A darker dream
That has no ending
Something unreal
That you want to be true
(Rachel/Lucy)
A strange romance
Out of a mystery tale
(Jesse/Hyde)
The frightened princess
Doesn't know what to do
Does she just run away?
Does she risk it and stay?
Either way there's no way to win
(Rachel/Lucy)
All I know is I'm lost
And I'm counting the cost
My emotions are in a spin
And though there's no one to blame
(Jesse/Hyde)
It's a crime and a shame
(Rachel/Lucy)
But it's true all the same
(Jesse/Hyde)
It's a dangerous game
(Rachel/Lucy & Jesse/Hyde)
No one speaks
Not one word
All the words are in our eyes
(Rachel/Lucy)
Silence speaks
Loud and clear
All the words
We want to hear
(Rachel/Lucy & Jesse/Hyde)
At the touch of your hand
At the sound of your voice
At the moment your eyes meet mine
I am out of my mind
I am out of control
Full of feelings I can't define
(Jesse/Hyde)
It's sin with no name
Like a tiger to tame
(Rachel/Lucy)
And though no ones to blame
(Jesse/Hyde)
It's a crime and a shame
(Rachel/Lucy & Jesse/Hyde)
And the angel's proclaim
It's a dangerous game
It's a dangerous game
Such a dangerous game
As the two finished the song Jesse smiled brightly he had always love singing with Rachel as he kept telling everyone their voices went really well together and he had always admired her determination and talent that could rival his own. Rachel stood there she wasn't feeling what Jesse was feeling. Jesse was feeling accomplished after a song well done whereas Rachel felt like her stomach had dropped to the floor. Methinks the words of the song had hit something…maybe.
"I married Quinn" Rachel blurted out slightly startling and surprising Jesse and Amy who were talking about how great he was…well Jesse was talking Amy was just pretending to listen.
"I'm sorry what?" Jesse asked
"I married Quinn Fabray. We got together after she gave birth to Beth and we've been together ever since we have three beautiful children together and I love her more than anything in this world. I know I didn't tell you and made you think that I was married to a man but I'm not. I married a woman…a Quinn woman and I don't know why I didn't tell you I was so shocked to see you and then you thought I married a man and I didn't correct you and I lied to Quinn…Oh god I lied to my wife! I'm a horrible person" Rachel babbled
It was an epic rant if there ever was one. Jesse and Amy just stood there not knowing how to react or why the sudden outburst occurred. Jesse looked questioningly to Amy who just shrugged her shoulders.
"Quinn? As in pregnant cheerleader Quinn?" Jesse asked
Rachel just nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Huh…well that's…congratulations?" Jesse replied
"That's it? That's all you have to say?" Rachel asked
"W-What do you want me to say?" Jesse asked extremely confused which was weird because he liked to think he was pretty intuitive about most things.
"Do you not remember the conversation we had about her back when we were dating?" Rachel asked
"You mean when you called her a trollop?" Jesse asked still not sure what the big deal was
"NO! Well…yes but I'm talking about the other conversation" Rachel replied
"Honestly Rachel that was a long time ago, I have no idea what you're talking about."
Rachel sighed heavily
"I'm talking about how she was destined to be a Lima Loser and that if I ever became friends with her that I gave you permission to shot me. Obviously my deep seeded contempt for her was really just my own repressed feelings for her at the time but still."
"Rachel…I don't see how this is relative…like at all. That was years ago…over 20 years ago." Jesse replied
"I know…Ugh! I think I'm having a midlife crisis" Rachel sighed and dramatically sat down on the stage with her head in her hands
"Or menopause" Jesse muttered under his breath
Rachel whipped her head up and gave him the most scary looking glare he had ever seen
"I do not have menopause" She all but growled
"What I meant to say was that…I think your taking everything too seriously" Jesse replied
"Of course I am! My whole life is one big drama of epic proportions. I live by Barbra and I abide by the ways of a diva! Everything is serious to me!" Rachel yelled
Jesse came over to where Rachel was sitting and sat down next to her
"Ok, here's what your gonna do. You're going to get up and get over yourself. Then when you get home you are going to talk to your wife because obviously you are omitting some bits of information for some silly and stupid reason." He told her
"It's not that simple" Rachel muttered
"Why?" He asked
Rachel looked down and sighed
"Back when I was on stage almost 18 years ago I…I did something stupid. Something that I have always regretted doing." Rachel admitted
"What did you do?" Amy asked as she took a seat on the other side of Rachel
"I almost lost everything…I came this close to having an affair and I have never forgiven myself for it. I lied so much to Quinn during that time. Always making up excuses for why I was home so late and we drifted apart for a while." Rachel told them
"Does Quinn know about this?" Jesse asked
Rachel nodded
"The night that it almost went too far I just couldn't do it, I loved Quinn too much to do that…I didn't even love him or anything it was just a stupid infatuation. I went home and told her everything"
"But that's not what's happening this time." Amy stated
"I know but I still lied to her after I swore I would never do that to her again."
"Why did you lie?" Jesse asked
"I panicked…I was so excited about being back on stage and then you showed up and Quinn has always hated you and after what happened last time I was just so scared that she would start doubting me and thinking that we would start something behind her back and then I would have to leave the production and now that I am saying this out loud I am realising how fucking stupid I am right now!" Rachel replied getting angrier and angrier at herself.
"I have to agree you are being fucking stupid" Jesse replied
Rachel glared at him
"Why don't you just explain that to her when you tell her the truth?" Amy suggested
Rachel cringed at the thought of how Quinn is going to react to this and was kicking herself for putting herself into this situation.
"Maybe I should just quit the show" Rachel mused
"Over my dead body! I wouldn't have anyone else be my female lead" Jesse stated
"And I need you to help me with my singing and acting" Amy added
"Jesse there are plenty of talented girls out there who can play this part and Amy you are an amazing singer and actor otherwise you wouldn't have gotten the part" Rachel replied
"If you quit won't Quinn want to know why? And then you'll have to tell her anyway" Jesse said
Rachel groaned and dropped her head onto her knees
"Fuck my life" She muttered to herself.
