-Chapter 11-Home-
-Shelby pov-
I am currently sitting in front of Carmel Highs Principal. He is reading all of my credentials to be the choir director. They currently have some quack who wants to quit but can't.
"You have already taught here once so I don't see why you can't now" The principal hands back my resume and keeps the extra one "I assume you know where the choir room is?"
"Yes sir" I start to stand up but then sit back down "I have a daughter that..that needs away from her old school"
"As long it isn't that crazy Berry kid" I narrow my eyes and tilt my head at the principal "That kid would bury us if she became suicidal and jumped off our roof"
"That girl is my daughter" I growl at the principal and hold my hand out "I'll take that resume back and I won't be coming back to this school"
He quickly gives me the resume and I walk out. I walk out of the school and toward my car when Judy is walking up. I must look angry cause she looks concerned.
"Hey why are you wearing angry lines in that beautiful face?" I playfully roll my eyes and smile "Theres that Corcoran killer"
"Principal won't take Rachel cause he's afraid she'll jump" Judy growls and I nod "My exact reaction!"
"So I guess I'm not sending Brittany and Quinn here" Judy sighs and pulls out her phone "I'll tell the Lopez household"
"Tell the lopez household what?" I turn to see a Latin man and woman walking toward us "Is everything ok?"
"They won't accept Rachel cause they are scared she'll jump off the school" The mans eyes burst into flames and the lady holds onto him "So I was gonna message you two that I wasn't sending the girls here"
"We won't send Santana either" The lady turns to me and smiles "I'm Maribel and this is my husband Daniel Lopez"
"Nice to meet you two I'm She~"
"Shelby Corcoran! Great Choir coach and mother of Rachel Berry" I look at confused at Daniel and he smiles pointing at Judy "She's told us a lot about you"
"Oh really?" I look at a blushing Judy and smile "I hope all of it was good things"
"I'd never trash you" I raise a eyebrow and she rolls her eyes "To my friends"
"Well the girls are all at the hospital why don't we talk and drink some tea or coffee at our house?" I look at Judy worried cause I've heard about the bad Lima Heights Adjacent "You've heard Santana huh?"
"That girl never gets where we live right" Daniel shakes his head with a smile "I'm a Doctor and we don't live in the bad part"
"I'll trust you two cause you seem like good people" I pull out a piece of paper and a pen "Give me the address and I'll be over"
They quickly write down the address and then we are all on our ways. On the way there I do pass a very bad part of town and then I get to their side. My god everyone has gates and walls around their houses! I pull up to a gate with a monitor on it.
I hear a buzz and the gate opens. I slowly pull in and get lost in the architecture. It looks so beautiful! This is nothing like Santana said! I pull up behind Judy and get out.
"Nice huh?" I nod at Maribel still looking around the place "Santana claims the bad part because her Abuela refuses to leave that trash side of Lima"
"Yeah" To be honest I'm not really paying much attention. This place just looks so..so..so not like Santana said! "It's just so beautiful"
"Why isn't we get you inside before we break you more" I nod and Maribel leads me into the home "Lets go have a chat in the living room"
-Rachel pov-
"So we are all going to Carmel huh?" The girls nod and I look back at the tv "That should be fun"
"Yeah" Silence takes over the room like it has repeatedly. There's something I'm not being told "Why don't we turn the news off?"
"What's on the news?" The girls share a look and I hold the remote closer to myself "What's on the news?"
"They've been showing Finn more randomly" Brittany sighs and looks at the screen "Burt is working on proving innocence because Kurt wants him to"
"I have a witness" I get confused looks "Emma is my witness"
"That is true" We look up and see Emma in the doorway with Beth "I've already got a perfect lawyer in mind"
"That sounds great" The sound of a phone going off fills the room "Who's that?"
"Me" Santana pulls out her phone and shakes her head angrily "That piece of shit school!"
"What did McKinley do?" Santana shakes her head and I look at her confused "What school?"
"Carmel didn't accept Rachel because they didn't want her to go crazy and jump off their roof" I frown and look back at the screen "The parents are talking about possible schools for us"
"Oooo someone else gets to see your nice home!" Santana glares at Quinn as I look at them confused "Santana doesn't live in the hood"
"Her dads a Doctor and gets paid nice" Brittany smiles as Santana groans "She lives in a nice house with a gate and monitor to unlock the gate"
"You've ruined my badass credit!" Santana's looks at me with a frown "I still could kick your ass"
"With a hindered dollar bill?" Santana groans as we laugh "I still believe you are a badass Santana"
"Good" She smiles then looks at Emma "What did you come here for?"
"To make sure Rachel is ok to leave" Wait a minute "And since she seems to be doing good and acting normal"
"I can leave?" Emma nods with a smile and I can't hold my excitement "IM GONNA BE ABLE TO LEAVE!!"
The girls all cheer and I'm pulled into a group hug. I smile wider as they hug me. I feel safe with these three. I feel so much happier with these three.
"I'll go talk to the doctor" Emma hands me Beth as we all let go of each other "Watch her and you'll be out before you even realize it!"
I'm going to be out...I don't have to stay. I get a chance to be normal again!
-Shelby pov-
"I found a school!" We all look at Daniel who shakes his head "Never mind they are a all boy school"
"Let me see" he spins his laptop around and I look "Dalton Academy"
"It's the only one left" Judy puts her head in her hands and lets out a exasperated sigh "What are we going to do?"
"Hello this is Maribel Lopez and I'd like to donate to your school regularly so my daughter and three other girls can go" We all look at Santana's mom shocked "Yes...uh huh...Rachel Berry is one of them yes...excellent thank you!"
I watch as she hangs up "What just happened?" Maribel just smiles at me "What?"
"All of our girls have a school to go to now" Before I even realize it I'm hugging Maribel and crying "I thought you'd be happy"
"I am happy" I pull back and wipe my tears "My baby girl has a school to go to now!"
"But will they let them join their group?" I look at Judy who brings up a good point "They need a group to sing with"
"I think I have a way for them to" I pull out my phone when I feel it go off "Rachel's being released!"
"Well how about she leaves in style?" I look at Dnaile confused and he just smiles "It'll be fun just tell whoever drove themselves to drive here and for someone to stay with Rachel"
"Ok?" I send Emma the text and look back at Daniel "What are you planning?"
-Time skip- Rachel pov-
I'm standing at the door alone with Quinn. Brittany, Santana, and Emma had to leave. It's great to finally be Quinn's friend. We are waiting when a limo pulls up outside.
A guy in a suit steps out "I'm here for a Rachel Berry and...ah Miss Quinn Fabray it's great to see you" The man smiles at Quinn as he walks to the back door "You look as lovely as ever! This brunette though could give you a run for your money"
"Ha Ha Hank" They both laugh as he opens the door "Come one Rachel"
Quinn leads me to the the open door. She gets in with no questions at all. I look at the man and he gives a kind smile. I smile back at him and get in. I feel my eyes bug out when I see everyone inside.
"Hello Rachel it's nice to meet you" A Latin lady glares at Santana "It would have been better if it was a better term to meet you"
"Hey it was Quinn too!" Quinn smacks Santana "OW! You can't hit me for telling the truth!"
"She can in that case" The lady smiles at me "My makes is Maribel"
"I'm Daniel" I look at the only man in the limo besides the driver. He holds out a cup of punch with gummy worms in it "We call this the Brittany special"
"You'll love it!" Brittany hands it to me and watches "Go ahead and try it!"
I smile at Brittany then look at the drink. It looks like a sugar overload. I sneak a glance at everyone else who looks apologetic. I think Daniel meant for this to be Brittanys.
"Alright" I take a drink of it and wow does this taste amazingohmygodTHISTASTESOFUCKINGGOOD! "I LOVE THIS!"
"Daniel" Maribel smacks Daniel and I laugh "I told you to stop making those!"
"I thought I didn't have as much sugar this time!" Daniel looks at me apologetically "Are you gonna be ok?"
"I'm good! I'm good! I'm goooood!" All of a sudden everything crashes out "Now I'm not so good"
"Yeah there's a quick fall down" He takes my cup and pours less in it "You'll need this to survive for a little bit"
After that experience we all chat a little bit. It's great to be introduced to Santana's life outside of her normal behavior. I look out the window and see all of the fancy houses.
"I thought you lived in the hood" I look at Santana "You really do love in a fancy place"
"Yes I do" Santana reaches for some tequila "I need this"
"Not in your lifetime!" Daniel snatched the bottle away "That is the special kind only adults can handle!"
"Isn't that the one yooouuuu" Maribel and Daniel look at Brittany with a raised eyebrow "Uhhh can I have some more of my special please?"
"I see we need new locks again" Santana sighs "Enjoy this mija"
"Yes enjoy" Maribels gives a evil smile "I have another mom to find punishments from"
"Shelby doesn't do bad punishments" Shelby lowers her wine and I shrink back at the raised eyebrow "Right?"
"Oh you haven't made me mad as a mom yet" Shelby smiles and I cringe "You'll find out if you do"
"I like your style" Maribel sends a smirk over to Judy "Strong and Domineering"
"There are kids in here Mar" Judys face is completely red and she grabs the tequila from Daniel "I need this if I'm dealing with Maribel now knowing Shelby"
We all go back into talking again until we reach the house. When we do I get out and gape at it. There's lovely cut hedges, a pool, a fountain with a deck around it, there's a sitting area, and there's a outside kitchen! They have a outdoor kitchen!
"Let's bring the party inside!" Maribel taps on the drivers window "Take a vacation Hank and thank you"
"My pleasure misses" The driver looks out and at me "It was nice meeting a new and nice young friend of Santana's"
"Thank you for the ride!" He nods and then drives off "So this is being rich?"
"Yeah yeah" Santana wraps a arm around me "Lets go get you in a bathing suit and hit that pool"
"Uh yeah" I try not to reveal my fear at those words "Bathing suit"
They're gonna see them all. All of my scars.
