A/N: Hey y'all! I want to thank everyone who still reads, reviews, favorite, and follows me and this story. Hope ya enjoy :)
Disclaimer: Glee's not mine, I just enjoy manipulating it's characters as I please.
"Ark are you ready yet?" I impatiently yell up the stairs. I wanna see Quinn.
"Yeah Star. I'm coming down now," he tells me while descending the stairs and I can't help but take one look at his outfit and laugh loudly. He's decided to dress the same as me, but also color opposite. While I'm in my purple skinny jeans, black long-sleeved v-neck, white leather jacket, and white combat boots, Noah's wearing black tight fit jeans, a purple long-sleeved v-neck, black leather jacket, and his black combat boots. Also my hair's pulled up into an intricate and complicated braid, and his mo-hawk is fixed.
"Nice bro," I clap him on the back as I walk towards the kitchen to grab my coffee. "I'm driving," I shout behind me as I head into the garage after grabbing the coffee mug and swiping up the keys. I hear a faint "Damn it!" as I'm closing the driver's side door and start the jeep up but I ignore it.
"So, do you think that Hudson will actually leave you alone today?" Noah asks hopping into the passengers seat.
"I have no idea, but I sincerely hope so," I say with a shrug as I pull out of our garage and head towards the school, turning on the radio for Noah and I to sing along with.
When I finally pull into the parking lot I park next to Tana's car and hop out, standing in front of the jeep to wait for Noah and as soon as he reaches me we start heading into the school. That is; until I see Kurt, Artie, and surprisingly Tina surrounded by a throng of footballers next to a dumpster. Thankfully none of them are Azimio or Karofsky, cause I'd hate to hurt my new "buddies".
"Hey!" I holler out as I rush my way towards them.
"What the fuck do you want, carpet muncher?" The one closest to Kurt sneers out at me with a leer. I immediately shoot my arm out to the side to keep Noah from lunging at the boy.
Then I just laugh in disbelief and shake my head in agitation. I'm suppose to be with Quinn right now dang it! "Well since you've asked oh so politely, what I would really love to know is why in the world you're harassing known members of the Glee Club," I tell them seriously. It's not a question. More of a warning; if they're smart enough to take it anyway.
"Cause we can that's why," another boy informs me cockily. Oh geez...What are we, seven?
"Is that so? Cause the last time I checked everybody in the Glee Club was considered off limits," I tell them with a glare that has some of the boys finally cowering and looking around for an escape route.
"That rule was made up by the cheer captains and seeing as we've decided that it's high time for the football team to start making the rules, that one's now inactive," boy number one snaps at us rudely while trying to glare back.
"Ok...Let us just for a quick second pretend that everything you just told us isn't a bunch of bullshit," I start off incredulously and at this some of the guys try to protest, but a glare from both Noah and I shuts them up almost instantaneously, "Are you seriously going to throw the girlfriend and the brother of two varsity players in the dumpster?" Noah finishes for me in disgust.
"They'll understand. I mean c'mon, two of them are just plain losers and the other one is gay." A third guy says, but the others are starting to look unsure. After hearing the gay comment I'm fed up with trying to reason with these dumb-asses, so I pull out my phone and make a quick phone call.
"Hey, I need you to get outside by the dumpsters. Now." After I end the call I notice the guys are looking even more scared and uneasy than earlier but are trying not to show it.
"What'd you do? Up and call your girlfriend?" Boy number one tries to taunt with another disgusted leer but I can hear the underlying fear in his voice which causes me to smirk, and judging from the scoff coming from Noah he can hear it as well. Good. I just ignore them all and make my way confidently into the center of their circle to where the other Gleeks are trapped with Noah hot on my heels, and then I grab the back of Artie's chair to begin to push him out of the circle when I feel one jock stupid enough to try and grab my shoulder. Suddenly I spin around as quick as I can and pop him in the eye roughly before I drop low and sweep his feet out from under him; not even waiting to watch him fall to the ground before I'm back to guiding Artie to safety again.
"You stupid bitch! What the hell?" I hear boy number one shout out from the ground, where he's now sitting and clutching his eye with a pitiful glare. Shoudl've known he was the idiot stupid enough to grab me.
"Don't touch me," I tell him simply, and as we make it out of the circle I see Azimio, David, Santana, Brittany, and Quinn making their way towards us.
"What's going on here?" Azimio demands as soon as they reach us and all the guys look anywhere but at the arrivals. It's pretty hilarious to witness, cause David and Azimio control the football team and they're only junior's. It's like Quinn and Tana with the Cheerios.
"No volunteers?" I mock. When they continue to stay silent I get fed-up. "So...What? You guys are changing the rule of McKinley and you can't even look at the current rulers? Are you fricking stupid?"
"Wait? What?" Santana questions quickly, snapping to attention from where she was boredly observing her nails. At the tone in her voice some of the guys flinch and take a step back.
"Yeah. These dudes were fixing to throw Tina, Artie, and Kurt in the dumpsters when we got here, and then when we asked them why they said because they were changing the hierarchy and that they could," Noah tells them with a disappointed shake of his head.
"I can't believe you guys are that stupid. You don't control shit here and you never will so get that dumb-ass idea outta your head right now. I should get you all thrown off the team for this crap. Especially since one's the girlfriend and one's the brother of people on the team! It's called loyalty dudes. Learn it," Karofsky barks at them in disgust and they all look down and shuffle in place in shame. "I won't, but only cause the season's already over. Be prepared for hell though boys, cause it's coming your way," he finishes with a sneer and we turn after that to walk away.
"It was Hudson's idea! Please Dave," guy number three shouts out in fear, making us stop in our tracks.
"Of fucking course it was Hudson's idea. All the dumb ones are," Tana mutters out under her breath as we all turn towards the guys again.
"Come again?" Quinn questions with anger rolling off her in waves. I wrap my arms around her waist from behind to not only help calm her, but myself as well. I'm so pissed I can't see straight (no pun intended).
"Yeah. Hudson's the one who came up with the idea, and he's our captain so...yeah," the guy finishes lamely.
"Listen now and listen good you sad excuse for floppy potato wanna be football players," Tana aggressively snaps and all the boys immediately face and listen to her. "You don't take orders from Finn Hudson, ever. When he comes to you with an idea or orders of any kind, you do not and I repeat do not, follow them. You go to either myself, Karofsky, Azimio, Puck, or Rachel. Do you understand me?" Immediately all of the guys nod their heads and make some kind of noise of conformation. "Good, because anybody else who pulls anything close to what was pulled today won't make it to regret it. We will not tolerate mutiny. Clear?" After the chorus of clears and yes ma'ams, Tana levels them with another deadly glare and says "Leave!" causing the guys scatter quickly.
"Thanks you guys," Tina says, followed by thanks from Artie and Kurt as well.
"It's no problem," Quinn tells them from my arms. They nod and head off quickly to class, which we're all late for, with Azimio and Karofsky in tow. "Hi," she tells me, twisting her head around to look at me.
"Hi yourself," I whisper to her and lean up to capture her lips in a kiss. "You must be freezing. Come on lets head inside," I tell her after breaking away from our kiss. She silently nods and takes my hand, having us jog to catch up to Tana, Britt, and Noah who are already reaching the doors. Once inside we reluctantly part ways and head in the direction of our respective classes.
"What are y'all going to do about Grawp," I ask Quinn and Tana when I sit next to them before Spanish.
"Nothing," Santana just shrugs and at my confused look she elaborates, "Karofsky and Azimio are taking care of it."
"Oh, ok," I tell them with a nod and settle in for another horrendous class.
After eighth period I quickly snatch up Quinn's things along with one of her hands, and then begin pulling her into the hallway and practically dragging her towards her locker.
"Whoa! Babygirl calm down," she orders me as she yanks her hand to pull me backwards into her. I look up at her and her quirked eyebrow (which is still beyond sexy) and smile sheepishly.
"Sorry. I'm just excited for Glee, mi amor," I explain to her, my smile widening. She just smiles back fondly and starts walking again, only this time keeping us at a normal pace.
When we walk into the room we're still the first people there, so we just claim our usual seats in the back and settle in. I rest my head on Quinn's shoulder and she wraps her arms around me, hugging me to her closely. Unfortunately Finn's the next one to walk in along with Mike and Tina following behind not too long after him, and he just scowls at me before taking a seat in the front with his usual pout in place. Mike and Tina smile and wave at us before sitting in their usual seat in front of us.
"I never did get the chance to thank you guys," Mike says quietly, turning around to face us with a grateful smile.
"What for?" I ask, already knowing what for but still trying to get fact that they don't have to thank me across.
"Stopping those asses from throwing Tina in the dumpster. I was running late this morning so that's why I wasn't there, so thank you for protecting her when I couldn't."
"Look, it really was no problem. You and Tina are my friends and I protect my friends," I reply to him with a shrug.
"Regardless, thank you," he tells me with another smile.
"It's no problem, really."
Mr. Shue's actually on time today and walks in before Mike can speak again. "Ok guys, who wants to sing first?" He questions with his weird smile. I raise my hand and he nods his agreement with a, "Go ahead, Rachel." Noah and I stand simultaneously and make our way towards the front, and while Noah tunes his guitar I address the club.
"Ok. So the amazing Quinn Fabray sang a wonderful song to me yesterday, and I decided to happily return the favor today with my brother's help by playing guitar and singing backup. I love you bontia." She shoots me her signature blinding smile that's only reserved for me while Tana fakes vomiting and Britt slaps her arm with her own bright grin.
Rachel/Puck/Both
So many people gonna say that they want you
To try to get you thinking they really care
But there's nothing like the warmth of the one
Who has put in the time and you know is gonna be there
Back your border when she knows someone crossed it
Don't let nobody put you down, who you're with
Take the pain of protecting your name
From the crutch to the cane to the high wire
I'm in love with a girl who knows me better
Fell for the woman just when I met her
Took my sweet time when I was bitter
Someone understands
And she knows how to treat a fella right
Give me that feeling every night
Wants to make love when I wanna fight
Now someone understand me
I'm in love with a girl
(I'm in love with)
I'm in love with a girl (I'm in love with)
Out the many broken back doors and windows
Through the valley of the love of the lost
Is a hole that is cut through the souls
Falling down from the tones without leading innuendos
But you found inner peace for the moment
The moment was over in time
Then it's gone, the hit and run
The guiltless one has a short life
I'm in love with a girl who knows me better
Fell for the woman just when I met her
Took my sweet time when I was bitter
Someone understands
And she knows how to treat a fella right
Give me that feeling every night
Wants to make love when I wanna fight
Now someone understand me
I'm in love with a girl
(I'm in love with)
I'm in love with a girl (I'm in love with)
Gonna tell you what you do to think
You practice what you preach
Now I know there's nothing we can't reach
'Cause a heart can't erase once it finds a place
To be warm and welcome, to be held in shelter
I'm in love with a girl who knows me better
Fell for the woman just when I met her
Took my sweet time when I was bitter
Someone understands
And she knows how to treat a fella right
Give me that feeling every night
Wants to make love when I wanna fight
Now someone understand me
I'm in love with a girl
(I'm in love with)
I'm in love with a girl (I'm in love with)
I'm in love with a girl (I'm in love with)
Who knows me better
Wants to make love when I wanna fight
Now someone understand me
When I'm done Quinn has tears in her eyes and the huge smile never once left her face. Neither does the smiles that Tina, Britt, and Tana sports; although Tana tries (and fails) to hide hers. Mr. Shue stands again and we make our way back to our seats, Finn glaring at me the whole way. Once I get there Quinn pulls me into a heated kiss that lasts until Mr. Shue clears his throat awkwardly.
"That was great Rachel, amazing job. Also Puck I didn't know you played guitar, great job as well," Shue tells us. "Ok, who's next?"
Tina volunteers to go after us, so I sit back and get comfortable again with my head resting comfortably on my girl's shoulder to prepare myself to listen to the others perform and finalize my date plans in my head.
Ok so any comments? Thoughts? Questions? I recently received a review askin' me to remove the r*pe portion from this rewrite and I wanted to address that reader quickly. I unfortunately can't really do that without messin' with a pretty big portion of this story, and the sequel that I've started and still have plans to continue as soon as this re-write is over with as well. I want to update SY&B just like I'm doin' this story as well as havin' full plans to still finish it, and some of those plans include Rachel properly having to come to terms with what happened to her in Twin Terrors. I refuse to give a proper timeline though because I don't want to make false promises or get anyone's hopes up. Now, back to the comment at hand. There are a lot of crazy people in this world, and unfortunately bein' r*ped simply for the fact that you're gay is more common then people care to admit. So with that all bein' said I will not take that out, but I will do my best to write everything around that section of this story a lot better. I will also add the proper trigger warnin's. I hope that helps anyone who is uneasy about this part in my story understand it a bit better, and I hope that my revision of it is goin' to help it read better.
