-Chapter 94-Day After-
-Rachel pov-
Today is going to be amazing! The girls and I have set up a perfect plan! There should be no way they don't end up together. This is going to be perfect!
We got help from a lot of the club too. We asked for schedules and got the perfect path. If someone sees it going south we'll sneakily fix it! It's perfect!
We head downstairs to the lobby to begin. That's where the perfect ends. Brittany is sitting in a chair by herself. I look around confused and walk over to my fiancé.
"Hey!" I sit down "What's wrong?"
"Anna bailed" Brittany sighs "Jane is out with some of the girls to cheer her up"
"Did she say why?" Britt shakes her head and I stand up "Come on! We are getting her right now!"
Brittany follows me as we head to Anna's room. When we finally get there I see the door cracked open. I share a confused look with Brittany. We quietly walk inside and stop.
On the bed is a blindfolded Anna. I think about the scenario and it clicks. I pull Brittany into the bathroom just in time. Soon Jane is slowly walking in seemingly confused.
"Uhhh hello?" She closes the door and stops "Anna?"
"Jane?" Anna sounds very confused "Wha..what are you doing here? I thought we were all going out later!"
I ignore the conversation and turn to Britt "What are you hiding from me?" Brittany looks away and I can tell she's guilty "BRITT!"
"Ok so this was the plan the majority came up with" Brittany sighs "Your plan was...too much..they need to have a small intimate moment!"
I turn away and think about my plan. It was a walk, a nice lunch, and ice cream for snack. Everyone was gonna be around there at some point. I thought it was good.
"So I'm not perfect" I can tell Brittanys about to say something so I speak "Just listen to your plan work"
"W-I-We have reservations for lunch!" I hear Jane shuffle around in her pocket "It's a big group going!"
"I didn't know that" I can feel Brittanys eyes on me "What are you looking for?"
"The card" A paper is heard "Found it! Uhhh oh! Here's the walk, then lunch, and where we will get ice cream!"
"Well I have a better idea" We can hear Anna get off the bed and walk toward Jane "Why don't we have some fun?"
"No!" I jump out of the bathroom as Brittany tries to stop me. The two girls give me a wide eyed expression "Stop it! You two like each other and are just beating around the bush! You don't need sex to become a couple! If that's all that's in there then it's nothing! It's built on trust and love! Love from the heart not just because of one stupid decision or day!"
"Rachel?" I can't look back at Brittany "Hey..speak to me please"
"We are too young to do this Britt" I take of my ring and hand it to her "I'll see you later"
I walk out of the room quietly. Once I walk out and close the door it comes. I run as the tears fall down my face. It needed to be done.
We have only been together for months now. A lot of that was cause of my attempted suicides. I don't know what's real or not with it. I just need time to think.
I run to the moms room and knock on the door. It takes a few minutes but soon it's open. I get pulled into Maribel as I cry more. It takes a bit before I'm settled down.
"You better?" I nod and see all of the moms are looking at me "What happened Mija?"
"I have Brittany the ring back" I can see the surprise on everyone's face "I can't be here...can I please go back home?"
"I don't feel safe just sending you back" Mom walks over and crouches in front of me "Are you sure you need to go?"
"Yes" I wipe my eyes and nod "I need to go home"
"I can take her" Alex stands up from the bed "We can go home"
"Why don't we just settle and talk this out?" Mom looks back at me "Why don't you sleep on it? This is New York! This is where you've always wanted to be!"
"I honestly don't know about that anymore" I look away from her "After everything that's happened...I'm scared to be in that big of a spotlight"
"Ok" Mom stands up and walks to the laptop "We'll get two tickets for Lima"
"Mo~"
"It's what you want right?" Mom turns and I see the same look I got the first time...she's gone "You and Alex can pack..I'll find the quickest ticket back"
I nod and separate from Maribel. I walk out alone and head to my room. When I get in there Lucy and Santana are inside. I don't say anything to them as I grab my things.
"Hey" I don't respond to Lucy "Hey I'm talking to you Rach"
I still don't respond "Hey why are you being so rude?" I finish packing and start heading to the door "Hey midget I'm talking to you!"
"THROW A MAN HANDS IN THERE TOO WHORE!" I surprise all of us after I yell that "I..I'm heading home and then I don't know..I'm eighteen so I'll be able to do things..just focus on Brittany ok?"
I don't wait for a response and walk out of the room. I walk toward the parents room and stop. Standing in the door is Brittany and my mom. Mom holds out a printed paper.
"The hotel was nice enough to print these" I grab them from her "Goodbye Rachel"
"Shelby!" Mo-Shelby doesn't listen and goes into the room "Rachel I'm sorry about going over your head ok? We can work this out! I love you! I know you love me!"
"I loved that you saved me" I look Brittany in the eyes "But I don't honestly know if I love you"
I hold back every emotion I can "You don't mean it" She reaches toward me but I step back "Please! Stop being stupid and listen!"
"I'm not being stupid!" I feel tears start to form "I'm not being stupid at all!"
"Yes you are man" I scoff and Brittany reaches toward me again "I didn't mean to"
"You're so stupid Brittany" I turn away "Tell Alex I'm in the lobby"
I walk away and wipe my tears. The only person to never really call me a bunch of names. To my knowledge never that one. But now...now it happens. It's for the best.
I head down to the lobby and sit in a chair. I wait for a few hours before getting up. I head to the elevator and push up. After the trip I walk to the room.
I stop at the door as I hear yelling. I can't make it out at all. But it's definitely the moms and the trio. What is going on in there?
I think back to all of the trick Santana taught me and pull out a card. I put it in the reader and pull out another card. I the it right and unlock the door. I step in and freeze.
"YOU THINK I DON'T SEE IT?!" Shelby is being held back by Judy and Maribel "I KNOW SHE IS HAVING ISSUES! I HAVE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION THIS TIME! BUT YOU HONESTLY THINK TODAY WAS JUST ABOUT HELPING TWO GIRLS?!"
"Yes I did!" I turn and see Brittany held by Lucy and Alex "Why did you push her to leave huh?! She would've stayed for you! She wanted you here! She was miserable without you!"
"Because there's a chance I still won't be here!" Everything and everyone in the room goes silent "They found a tumor in my left breast...the back issue was a cover up for another one..this is the last one but I have to get surgery soon and I'm scared"
"So you didn't tell me?" Everyone's eyes are soon on me "Why didn't you tell anyone?"
"I told the moms" Shelby sighs "I don't wanna keep wasting money and there's so many choices!"
"Lose it" Everyone looks at me confused "Lose your life or lose the breast"
"What about you?" Shelby gets released and she walks to me "What are you going to do?"
"Be beside you if you decide you still want me" Tears start falling down her face "Please still want me"
"Of course I still want you" Shelby pulls me into a hug "I love you sweetheart and I'm so sorry!"
"What about us?" I look at Brittany who looks ready to fall apart "What about us huh? Do we just fall apart?"
"I wanna go on a real date" Brittany nods "If I still feel love for you and vise versa then we can still be together ok?"
"Ok" Brittany holds up the ring "What about this?"
"We'll figure it out" Brittany frowns but nods "Lefs just enjoy New York while here ok?"
Everyone nods but it's still tense. It'll be this way for a while. I can't imagine anything different. I just hope it gets better.
It really needs to be better for all of us.
