Disclaimer: I do not own Glee this all belong to wondrous Ryan Murphy and Fox Network. Just doing this for fun and trying to ease my boredom.

Author's Note: This is the first time that I ever write a fanfic, so guys please do bear with me. All original characters is on me, if you guys found similarity on any characters in other stories, rest assured I do not have any intention of replicating it. I do not know the rules of using a real school name but it looks fun so I used it anyway; again I do not have any bad intention using TASIS or any school that is really existing. Big shout out to my proofreader/beta reader JOHN KNIGHTHAWK you make my writing easier.

Chapter 1

Rachel is in her bedroom making a final inspection if all her bags are already packed. She looked up at her night stand watch and saw it was 2 p.m. already. In about an hour Glee practice will commence. It's not surprising anymore; everyone hates her, her boyfriend Jesse if she can still consider him as a boyfriend does not exist in her world anymore. It's been a couple months since the fatal music video happened, and she already said sorry to the three guys but it seemed it wasn't enough though. Although Finn went with her and she went to the clinic to have her throat check up but he did not do it as a friend, he just came with her to make sure that Rachel could sing at Regionals. It was the last straw, her own Glee Club mates are talking behind her back everyday and even though she was trained to hold her head high no matter what there's only so much that she can bear. That very day she went home crying for like a millionth time already, she looses her self-confidence in a manner that no one even acknowledges her presence, she was only noticed when she sang and it's killing her, but she never shows any of it, she's strong and strong people succeed. She still remembered the faithful event that happened one month ago that changed her life entirely, and she realized that she will never have her full potential if the people surrounding her in Glee Club will not support her. She may be abrasive and brutally honest but she has a good heart, she tried to be friends with them but they never seem to acknowledge her effort until she got tired of it.

One month earlier

"If it weren't for her talent she shouldn't be in Glee Club any more, damn her talent and abrasiveness" Kurt says sardonically.

"I'm with you girl, she needs to learn her lesson that she's not the only person in Glee that could sing" Mercedes added, but felt guilty on the last part because she knows that Rachel admired her voice too, but shut it off because she knows that Rachel doesn't have any friends to defend her in this Club and in some ways she felt sorry for her.

"What if we talk to Mr. Schue and tell him that Rachel needs to learn her lesson about team work" Tina says.

"But for what? I mean Rachel didn't do anything wrong; it's just that her personality is terrifying sometimes but she never hurt anyone, even you, and I-mean Rachel knows what team work is. Sectionals guys, if it weren't for her we didn't even have a chance of winning it" Artie says expectantly.

"Well, Artie I didn't know you are Rachel's friend" Quinn says mockingly.

"We should be friends right, because we are in one team" he says defensively.

"She hurts a lot of people, I mean she hurt Finn, Jesse and Puck with that disgusting video" Quinn recoiled.

"You hurt them also, right?" Tina snapped back at her, she felt the need to protect Rachel, it's just that she was afraid of being outcast, being friends with the fiery diva.

"Whoa amazing, both of you are really a friend of Rachel's then, do you tell her everything we talked about?" Mercedes asks accusingly.

"Mercedes, I think it will be fun telling Rachel all the things that we are discussing behind her back, I mean especially geez the way she dresses up, that is just hideous if I am her friend I will bring her to a shopping mall and orient her how to dress normally" Kurt looked at everyone while the rest of his team mates are giggling on what he just said. "Honestly though, if she didn't have that voice she shouldn't be in this club" Kurt says frustratingly.

Little did they know, Rachel is just behind the door of the music room and heard everything, she tried to compose herself and went inside as if nothing happened, and she is a great actress and she can pull this off for only two hours. She has the whole night to cry, she will worry about it later once she's home and her fathers will be there.

The brunette makes sure that she has a huge smile for everyone when she enters the room and sat near Finn's chair and looked at those people who just ridiculed her and smiled more sweetly. She noticed the uneasiness of her "friends"; they can't even look directly in her eyes which is very annoying.

"Hey guys" Mr. Schue greeted his students.

Everyone answered except for Rachel, who's pretty much on trance.

"Okay, I have music for you guys. I need someone to audition for the Phantom of The Opera. It should be a partner, whoever wants to audition just come up front." The teacher explains.

Everyone expects Rachel to be at the front but the girl never moves in her chair, but continues to scribble in her notepad. She knows that everyone is eyeing her every action but she couldn't care less anymore, she will not audition for that piece because she's decided to leave WMHS. She can't grow with these kinds of people surrounding her as it's very annoying. She's been thinking about leaving the school for quite a while now. If she wants to be successful in her future she will start now; taking risk is something that everyone should do. She snaps back at reality when her name is being called by Mr. Schuester.

"Rachel is there something wrong?" her teacher asks worriedly.

"No, everything is fine Mr. Schuester" she said dryly.

"You don't want to audition for this piece?"

"Nope, anyone can sing that song" she said as a matter of fact.

If Rachel could just look at everyone, she will see that her fellow glee clubbers flabbergasted expressions, but she never paid any attention, she's tired of pretending, she's tired of being strong. For once she wants to be herself, but she can't now.

"Okay, so we have Tina and Artie, Mercedes and Finn, Quinn and Jesse, practice your pieces and you will perform them at the end of this week. That will be all for today" Mr. Schue added.

Rachel got up from her seat and was about to leave the room before anyone else when she heard her name being called.

"Rachel, can you stay for a while" Mr. Schuester requested her.

Before she answered, she looked at everyone and she's sure that no one really cares for her, she went back to her seat and waited until everyone is out of the room.

"Is there something wrong?" Mr. Schue asks her.

"Nothing is wrong, if you are thinking about why I did not participate for the audition, I just don't feel like performing. Anyone can nail that song as it's very easy and besides you will teach them the technicalities of it" she said tiredly.

"Rachel, I know there is something bothering you and I want you to know if you need someone to talk to, I'm just here."

"Well, I'm aware of that, but really don't mind me as it really doesn't matter anymore, at least starting from now. Goodbye Mr. Schuester" Rachel said while getting up from her seat.

At home, she did a lot of thinking about what she's going to do, it's not even healthy anymore she's getting tired of being scrutinized and being a laughing stock by everyone. When she was little all she could think about was to perform on stage and become a famous Broadway star but at this early stage she felt defeated, her motivation is going thin already and for the first time she doesn't know what to do. She looked at her reflection, she looked exhausted her eyes don't sparkle anymore, she tried to smile but her eyes are not following her, she wanted to cry her heart out but it seems that her tear glands are not sympathizing with her.

"I need to leave" she said to herself, that's the only thing that she can think of, nothing more. But where's it going to be? Where she should go? With that question hanging in her head she sat down in front of her computer and start searching the best high school that has an outstanding credibility in arts and music. It took her almost two hours before she settled in one school that pretty much interests her, The American School in Switzerland (TASIS). The only problem is to convince her fathers to send her there, money shouldn't be a problem because they are extremely rich, her fathers are not business kind of people but they have a lot of investment and besides her grandparents in her Daddy's side left her with an enormous amount of money that she doesn't know where to spend and it's been in the bank all her life.

The problem would be if she can be away from her two fathers, she can't ask them to relocate to the other side of the world, which would be selfish on her part. Her daddy Lucas is a prominent Taxation Lawyer in Ohio but remains very private while her other dad Matthew is a world renowned neonatal surgeon. Of course half of the population of Lima Ohio wouldn't care about that because they are living in "sin" like a lot of people said. But she gets tired of it and couldn't care less at all, she's very much proud of having a father like them.

"Honey, are you here?" she heard her daddy calling from downstairs.

"Yup, up here in my room, daddy" she said back, she heard footsteps ascending to her door.

"Are you okay?"

She looks at him before answering the question, "Just tired".

Lucas felt that there was something wrong with his daughter. As he walked to her bed and gave her a tight hug, he felt Rachel's body shiver to the contact and she began sobbing until his daughter's cry is uncontrollable anymore. He hugs her even more and tries to soothe the wounded girl. He heard some footsteps ascend from the doorway and looked at his husband worriedly. Matthew went to the other side of his daughter and took her from his husband's tight grip.

"Honey, you want to talk about it?" Lucas said.

"I'm just tired, I can't put up a straight face anymore" she said in between sobs.

"Oh baby, things will get better sooner or later" Matthew assure her.

While looking with worry at their daughter, Matthew and Lucas glanced at each other and tried to give each other a smile of assurance but they knew that it will be hard because since the day their daughter started in high school it was so hard for both of them hearing Rachel's cries almost every night. Rachel never said a word, she never complained, she just cried and the next morning it seemed the girl didn't cry herself to sleep. As a parent there is only so much that they can tolerate, they are hopeful that something will pan out especially when she joined Glee, but it got worse. They perfectly know that their daughter is abrasive and very much outspoken only because they raised her like that. They raised Rachel to be honest, humble and forgiving. They never heard Rachel telling them that she hates her fellow Glee Clubbers, she has utmost respect for everyone, but everyone hated her. Lucas stood up and looked at his daughter's computer and saw a web site of the school that Rachel had been looking at a few moments ago. Lucas looked at his husband and motioned what he saw and they have an outspoken agreement that can be discussed later on if things will still not pan out for their daughter.
