Thank you to the few people that still reviews and those of you that puts this story on alerts it lets me know that you are reading this story and that makes me want to continue writing.
I said previously that It Will Rain will be an important song so I'm working it into this chapter.
I don't own Glee or any of the songs I might use.
Chapter 16
Rachel was in the pool house sitting on the couch with her feet up and a cup of tea in her hands she's wearing an oversized jersey thinking about how strong Ana is. If she had received news like that then she would freak out. She was happy that Ana is ok but she feels bad. What if Noah was her Antonio would she want to live with that knowing that she didn't give him a chance? That she didn't give them a chance? Her phone starts buzzing.
"Hello?"
"Hey my little Ray bear. How are you feeling this morning? You looked pretty upset last night." Ana asks on the other end of the phone.
"Hey Ana. I'm feeling better. Still a bit sad for you though." Rachel replied honestly.
"You don't have to be. You know that the doctor told me that I don't have that long to live anymore a-…"
"Ana please…"
"Rachel you have to accept that I am dying and I am fully ready for that but are you?"
"Ana I will never be ready for that if you die, I have nothing left."
"Rachel I know that it will be a difficult time for you so I want you to promise me that you thought about what I said last night."
"I did." Rachel nods. "But I still don't know Ana." She sighs. "What if he hurts me again I wouldn't be able to handle it a second time."
"I always thought 'What if we hurt my sister again?' but you can't afford to think that way Rach. I thought that way and lost the love of my life. What if Noah is your Antonio? Are you willing to let that go because of something as crazy as fear?"
"You know what Ana?" she said suddenly. "Noah is not my Antonio he is my Noah and I'm don't think I want to let him go because of my stupid fear so I will give him a chance and maybe this time we really will last."
"That's all I want to hear." Ana said with a smile. "I have to go dearie this talk has me so exhausted. I love you my sweet potato pie."
"I love you too Ana, always." They hung up.
And on the other side of the line Ana tells Marie "Now I can die happy knowing my Rachie is taken care of."
"Don't talk like that Ana."
"Marie when I go I don't want you to call Rachel immediately let her enjoy her time with her friends and call my doctor and lawyer first. Everything needs to be ready before Rachel gets here."
"Ana you are making it sound as if you are going to die today." Marie said worriedly.
"That is because I fully intend to." Ana said with a smile before closing her eyes.
"That's it Rachel get up!" she jumped off of the couch and walked into the bedroom to get her close and headed to the shower. She got dressed in a pair of shorts and a tank top with flip-flops she's not going through much trouble she'll do that when the party starts tonight.
She walks to the kitchen because she is on Kitchen duty with Sidni. The two of them decided that they would make the snacks and stuff. The others are in the backyard getting everything ready for the night. "I'm so sorry about what happened last night Rach I wish it was different." Sidni tells Rachel they are alone in the kitchen.
"No don't worry I'm fine. Ana is taking it well. And I have something I have to do later it's a promise I made to Emma." Rachel told Sidni with a smile.
"Rach you are an incredibly strong girl. Do you know that?" Sidni said looking at her friend.
"That's good to know. I love you and Santana so much." She smiles at Sidni.
"Hey well you know San loves you and I love you too, so much." Sidni pulls Rachel into a hug.
"We should get started." Rachel said as she pulled away from Sidni's hug.
Before they knew it the party started and Rachel completely forgot about Sam coming. So when she opened the door to the tall blond she was completely surprised. "Sam, I completely forgot about asking you to come I'm so sorry. Come in."
She showed him to the back walking past the kitchen where Sidni is still busy with the last of the salad.
All Sidni heard was a loud "Trouty" screamed in unison from the people in the yard.
Rachel came back into the kitchen to talk to Sidni and to help her carry the food to the back.
They walked out to the yard and Sidni heard a voice that made her heart beat faster and it felt as if her world froze and the only thing that got her moving again is the face that matched that voice. Their eyes connected and something happened Sidni put the bowl on the table and pulled Rachel by her arm into the kitchen.
"Sid! Let go." Rachel said out loud.
"He's here" Sidni said in a loud whisper eyes wide.
"Who's here?" Rachel asked confused.
"The guy the one that took my breath away with one kiss." Sidni said.
"Wait Sam's the guy?" Rachel laughs "That is so cute. Yay you."
"Rachel…"
"Hey Sidni. I see you still remember me." Sam said with a smile.
"I'll leave you two alone." Rachel said with a smile and moved to walk out when Sidni grabbed her arm.
"No you don't have to." Sidni said through gritted teeth.
"Let me buy you a coke." Sam said remembering the night her shared with her.
"I don't drink coke." Sidni answered and he raised a brow.
"Don't lie Sid we all know that you are so not sticking to that rule anymore." Rachel said deviously. "She would love for you to buy her a coke and if not a coke anything grape will do."
"Rachel…"
"You can take her before tonight is over. Please excuse us Sam we have to go get ready." Rachel said taking Sidni with her and leaving Sam in the kitchen with a huge smile on his face. He has a date with one of the greatest girls he has ever met.
Later that night when everyone was having a great night. Rachel heads to the pool it's away from the noise and it's where she can think because she has this terrible feeling in the pit of her stomach.
If you ever leave me, baby,
Leave some morphine at my door
Cause it would take a whole lot of medication
To realize what we used to have,
We don't have it anymore.
There's no religion that could save me
No matter how long my knees are on the floor, oh
So keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm making
To keep you by my side And keep you from walking out the door.
She turns around to see Puck standing behind her singing the song that she has always dreamed would be sung to her.
Cause there'll be no sunlight if I lose you, baby
Chorus
There'll be no clear skiesif I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds, my eyes will do the same if you walk away
Every day, it will rain, rain, rain
She smiles at him when he sings the chorus to her
I'll never be your mother's favouriteah ,
Your daddy can't even look me in the eye
Oooh if I were in their shoes, I'd be doing the same thing
Saying there goes my little girlwalking with that troublesome guy
But they're just afraid of something they can't understand
Oooh well little darling watch me change their minds
Yeah for you I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll tryI'll
Pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleedingif that'll make it right
Chorus
Cause there'll be no sunlight if I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies if I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds, my eyes will do the same if you walk away
Every day, it will rain, rain, rain
Ooooh Don't just say goodbye, don't just say, goodbye
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding If that'll make it right
Cause there'll be no sunlight if I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies if I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds, my eyes will do the same if you walk away
Every day, it will rain, rain, rain, rain...
She walks over to him.
"I'm going to sound like a total girl for telling you this" he stands in front of her and takes a breath "I mean the words of that song. After you left I felt empty so could you please just put me out of my misery and take I back?"
She puts her arms around his neck and connects their lips. They stand like that for a while just enjoying how they felt. How good it felt to share a kiss that was not broken apart by something stopping them. They pulled apart when Rachel's phone started ringing.
"Hello?..."Marie slow down…Wait WHAT?"
That's about it for now. Just one more chapter to go (if I don't change my mind again)
