I Hate How You Keep Me Holding On, Valerie, I just want to Hold your Hand.
For the rest of the day, after Rachel and Caleigh had taken off together, some members of the glee club started to get concerned when the diva didn't pick up her phone calls. They didn't exactly know the story between the new girl and Rachel, only Santana did, but she refused to say anything.
Rachel's phone rang a total of four songs five times in the last two hours.
Hate on Me – Mercedes
Valerie – Santana
Tik Tok – Brittany
You Keep Me Hangin' On – Quinn
It got to the point where Caleigh was getting so irritated that she had thrown Rachel's phone at a wall and the battery as the only part of the phone that flew out.
"Baby, your friends are incredibly annoying."
"They just want to make sure I'm okay. They're not annoying." Rachel replied, bitterly, as she sat next to her ex-girlfriend on the couch in Rachel's living room.
"Why are you always taking their side, when they clearly never take yours?"
"Because they don't know what's going on. They don't know about us. Or what you used to do to me. You're not important enough for them to know about our history together." Rachel said, knowing full well what was coming next.
"So you're telling me… I'm not important enough?"
"No shit, Sherlock."
The next thing Rachel knew was she was being pulled up by her shirt and thrown against a wall.
"Why do you always have to piss me off? I never have to get violent with you unless you start talking shit."
"Maybe because I've just stopped caring." Rachel suggested sarcastically.
Caleigh backhanded her, and she was now on the floor. '
'Fuck, why did I even agree to be with her again?' Rachel asked herself, as she shook herself out of her self-pity and stood up.
"Is that honestly all you have? You used to be so much str-"
Caleigh's fist had not so gently brushed by her face, and she stumbled into her Daddy's chair.
"Fuck! Baby! I'm sorry! I just…You kept on…" Caleigh trailed off, as she attempted to help Rachel.
"Leave."
Caleigh nodded solemnly, before she grabbed her stuff and left Rachel alone in the house. When she was gone. She heard the song,
I Want to Hold Your Hand
Indicating that Kurt was calling, and a smile appeared on her face. Somewhere between Caleigh's fist in her face and attempting to help her she had fixed her phone and placed it on the couch.
"Hello?" she answered,
"Oh thank goodness! Rae, are you okay? Did she do it again? Where is she?" Kurt rambled,
"No she's gone. And yeah, she did it again. But I'm okay. Don't tell San –"
"Rachel! What the hell?" Santana's voice rang out from the other side of the receiver.
"San, I'm fine."
"Open your front door. We're here." *click*
Rachel made her way to her front door and found Kurt, Blaine, and Santana standing on her front porch. She moved aside so they could come in.
