-Chapter 11-
-Rachel pov-
Weeks have gone by too fast. I have been getting closer to my mom and girlfriends. We all have gotten a lot closer like a family. It helped now that Russel is behind bars.
He got found guilty of child abuse, domestic abuse, illegal trades, attempted murder, and a few other things. I can tell the Carmichael girls are more calm. They seem to be happier without him over them. It makes me so much happier.
Now onto the issue of the day. Today is the first day of school. It started off really well and I went with Brittany's matching plan. Now I am in the bathroom hiding cause her clothes are soaked.
The glee club threw slushies at me. I can tell Kurt, Tina, Mike, and Artie seemed guilty about it. I am not sure they even threw a cup. I just know the others threw them.
I sigh and look in the mirror. I look like a freaking rainbow in fake leather. I hear the door open and quickly run into a stall. I put my feet up and lock the door.
"Can you believe man hands hit slushed by the gleeks?" I hear the cheerios laugh "And Quinn just thinks that Her twin is going to be head too! It is so unbelievable! We are all better than some twin duo!"
"I think transberry needs to just give up" I feel the tears forming "She will never be anything more than a prostitute on the corner of Lima"
"I think she is good" I look at the door as one of the cheerios stands up for me "She can act and she sounds really great! I have no idea why we have to make fun of her in the first place...why do we?"
"I-well..you know" I can hear the gears turning "What the hell...why did this all start?"
"I Uh well" That's the one who said I should give up "Quinn said to and she is the HBIC...so is that why?"
"I guess" There's the other mean one "I mean..I guess she has never done anything to us"
"Exactly!" I hear footsteps and see the nice cheerio get to the floor "I mean she has to come to the bathroom to clean off! Look at this mess! I bet it took hours! She did not even have time to clean it!"
There is a silence in the room "I guess we can try to be nice" I smile at the meanest ones change of tone "But if she starts making owl sweaters for us it is on you Angel!"
"Deal!" I hear Angel start clapping as she stands up "I wanted owl sweaters anyways!"
They talk a little longer before they leave. I slowly get out of the stall and exit. I quickly start changing when I hear footsteps. I look in the mirror to see a shy looking cheerio.
"You usually clean" It was the give up one "I have bathroom duty after you go outside"
"Sorry I listened in" I strip off the shirt and wipe away the slush "I understand if you all get mad"
"You are fine" She sighs and walks over to me "Lay your head under the sink"
"Ok?" I slowly do it and she starts cleaning my hair "Thank you"
She just smiles and I smile back. This could be a nice start to begin making friends. I hope this is not a act though. I really do want true friends in my life.
I wonder what my girlfriends would say..

"So now you understand why we need you here?" Shelby sighs but nods "So you must become teacher!"
"You must speak English" Shelby stands up and looks at Figgins "This has gone too far"
"You have sponsors and sue is not against it" He looks at Will "This club stands"
"This is unbelievable!" He stands up angrily "This lady left her daughter! How do we trust her with our kids?!"
"Cause I will watch over them" Sue smiles and puts a hand on my shoulder "She will be the first member too"
"Taking Quinn's twin and putting her against Quinn?" I shake my head and pull out a list "What is this?"
"Our members list" I smile as I read it "Rachel Berry, Quinn Carmichael, Fran Carmichael, Tina Cohen-Chang, Mike Cohen-Chang, Artie Abrams, Brittany Pierce, Santana Lopez, Kurt Hummel, and some cheerios that would like to join!"
"You will pay" William glares at us "If you all loser at Sectionals then you leave!"
"Same goes to you" Shelby flips over the paper and signs the deal "Sign?"
"I will" He signs it and passes it to Figgins "You sign it and make it official! I want to be the one who can laugh when they fall!"
"Fine" He signs and hands the list to Shelby "Now leave my office!"
We all do and William shakes his head as he leaves. I watch him leave and sue follow. I look at Shelby who seems to be in her own head. I wonder what is going on in there.
"I have to go" I frown as Shelby walks away "This has been a long thing"
"What does that mean?" She stops at the door "I thought you would want this for Rachel"
"You want Rachel to love you more" She turns toward me "I already know she loves me enough"
She walks out and I can not even say anything. What she said is true. Quinn and I have wanted to get Rachel to love us. Maybe we let that get into our head.
I sigh and go to find Quinn. Time to stop making plans and start showing love. We can not keep being the way we have. We need to make her love us for who we are not what we want her to see.
I guess we have to start on who we truly are though.
-Time skip-Rachel pov-
I walk into the auditorium and see mom at the piano. This seems like deja vu right now. I can see me exactly where she was last time. I am her coming into the room.
"We were here before" I nod and walk closer "I see you have my folder too"
"I do" I walk closer and she passes the song lyrics to me "Let's do it to the normal beat"
I nod and she pushes play on her phone.

[RACHEL]
I wanna hold 'em like they do in Texas, please
Fold 'em, let 'em hit me, raise it; baby, stay with me
Love the game intuition, play the cards with spades to start
And after he's been hooked, I'll play the one that's on his heart
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh
I'll get him hot, and show him what I've got
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh
I'll get him hot, and show him what I've got
[SHELBY]
Can't read my
Can't read my
No, he can't read my poker face
[RACHEL]
She's got to love nobody
[SHELBY]
Can't read my
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
[RACHEL & SHELBY]
She's got to love nobody
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
[SHELBY]
I wanna roll with him
A hard pair we will be
A little gambling is fun when you're with me
Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun
And, baby, when it's love, if it ain't rough, it isn't fun
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot and show him what I've got
[SHELBY & RACHEL]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh, I'll get him hot
Show him what I've got
Can't read my
[RACHEL]
Can't read my
[SHELBY & RACHEL]
No he can't read my poker face
She's got to love nobody
Can't read my
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
She's got to love nobody
[SHELBY (with RACHEL)]
I won't tell you that (I love you)
Kiss or (hug you)
Cause I'm (bluffin') with my (muffin)
I'm not (lyin')
I'm just (stunnin' with my love-glue-gunnin')
[RACHEL]
Just like a chick in the casino
Take your bank before I pay you out
[SHELBY]
I promise this, promise this
Check this hand 'cause I am marvelous
I'm marvelous
[RACHEL]
I'm marvelous
[SHELBY & RACHEL]
I'm marvelous
So marvelous
She's got to love nobody
Can't read my
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
She's got to love nobody
"We sang this to end one of our chapters" she steps around to me with her arms open "Can we...could we sing this to signify the start to this new one?"
"We just did" I hug her tightly and smile "Let's go home and celebrate this new chapter"
I nod and we walk out of the room. Time to start my new chapter with my mom fully. I only hope that it stays good. I do not want to lose her again.
I do not want to lose any of them.
