The Real Rachel Berry Chapter 7, a glee fanfic

Chapter Seven

Noah slept in my room, I know what you're thinking, a bit too soon, but we didn't do anything, not that we could because Sarah was in the room, but we were simply content to just be in each other's company. I smiled as I woke up and felt Noah's arms around me. I felt safe and loved. "Morning," he mumbled.
"And a great way to start the morning too," I said.
"Noah," said Sarah's voice.
"Hey squirt," said Noah. "You sleep okay,"
"Like a baby," she said. "Morning Rachel,"
"Good morning Sarah," I said.

"What time is it," said Noah. I glanced at the clock on my bedside table,
"Nearly eight am," I said. "Wait for it,"
'So raise your glass if you are wrong, In all the right ways, All my underdogs,We will never be never be anything but loud And nitty gritty dirty little freaks Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass,
Just come on and come on and raise your glass' sang Pink on the radio,
"Rach it's eight am on a Saturday, turn the fuckin thing off," said Jack's voice.
"He said a bad word," said Sarah.
"He did, didn't he," I said. "What should he do,"
"Go on the naughty chair," said Cam's voice, the rest of us burst out laughing and Jack growled, the walls in this apartment really weren't that thick.

"Okay," said Jack. "I asked for that one, just let me sleep,"
"No," I said. "Come on guys, I'll make chocolate chip pancakes," I laughed along with Noah as we heard the hurried movements of the rest of them. "Well we best get up otherwise they'll come in here and drag me out," I said as they did just that. "Put me down," the did once we got to the kitchen. I smiled and got the ingredients ready as they started up the coffee machine, "You can help yourself to coffee Noah once it's ready," I said. "Jack put the radio on," he did and I hummed along to the music as the kettle boiled for my tea.

"And now we have a song that hasn't been played for a while, and I might get told off for playing it this early but what the hell," said the DJ, the sound's of Bad Touch by the Bloodhound Gang began, and myself and the guys laughed, as this song was a favourite growing up, we spent hours learning the rap,

Sweat baby sweat baby sex is a Texas drought
Me and you do the kind of stuff that only Prince would sing about
So put your hands down my pants and I'll bet you'll feel nuts
Yes I'm Siskel, yes I'm Ebert and you're getting two thumbs up
You've had enough of two-hand touch you want it rough you're out of bounds
I want you smothered want you covered like my Waffle House hashbrowns
Come quicker than FedEx never reach an apex just like Coca-Cola stock you are inclined
To make me rise an hour early just like Daylight Savings Time

Do it now
You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
Do it again now
You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
Gettin' horny now

Love the kind you clean up with a mop and bucket
Like the lost catacombs of Egypt only God knows where we stuck it
Hieroglyphics? Let me be Pacific I wanna be down in your South Seas
But I got this notion that the motion of your ocean means "Small Craft Advisory"
So if I capsize on your thighs high tide, B-5 you sunk my battleship
Please turn me on I'm Mister Coffee with an automatic drip
So show me yours I'll show you mine "Tool Time" you'll Lovett just like Lyle
And then we'll do it doggy style so we can both watch "X-Files"

You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
Do it again now
You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
Do it now
You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
Do it again now
You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
Gettin' horny now

We danced around rapping/singing along, it was so much fun and when the song had finished the pancakes were done. "I'd have never thought Rachel Berry would sing a song about sex," said Noah quietly so that Sarah wouldn't hear.
"There are a lot of things you don't know about me Noah," I said. We ate laughing and joking, and then after we'd got showered and changed, decided to go to the park as Sarah wanted to and we hadn't been to one for a while. So that the guys wouldn't get notice so much, we agreed to go to the one near where Noah lived as it was much better.

The park was so much more fun with the guys, they acted like little kids, and I was very happy to see that, when their dad died in the twin tower attacks they had to grow up fast, especially because their mom was so wrapped up in her grief that she forgot about them. Dylan had to be the man of the house, but he was only eleven at the time, (Jack was eight, and me and Cam were 6). It was a very tough time but even at that age, I helped, I'd hang out with them, and try and take their minds off things. Their mother lived for another five years but she wasn't the mother they'd known before, she was a shell of herself and very depressed, and ultimately she took her life.

I didn't see them for two years after that as they were put into foster care. Once they got their record deal when Dylan was 20, they were soon able to buy this place, and things became much better. "Rach we've managed to book flights for Friday night," said Dylan quietly as we sat in the apartment later that day. "We'll pick you up from glee,"
"Okay," I said squeezing his hand gently. "That works out fine,"
"Where are you going," said Noah.
"We're going to New York," I said. "It's the ten year anniversary of the twin tower attacks,"
"Oh," said Noah, "How long will you be gone,"
"We'll be back in time for Rachel to return to glee on Monday," said Dylan.
"Okay," said Noah. "I'll miss you,"
"I know," I said. "But we need to do this,"

"Did you lose someone in the attacks," he asked.
"Our dad," said Cam sadly, he left the room, I gave Noah a sad smile, as Jack and Dylan followed him.
"It's going to be hard for them," I said. "They've never actually been to the site,"
"I can only imagine how hard that will be," said Noah. "Well me and Sarah best get home, our mom will be there soon tell them goodbye from us,"
"I will," I said. "I'll see you on Monday," he hugged me tightly and kissed me, Sarah told me she enjoyed hanging out with us, and then they left. I smiled, and then went to see how Cam was.
"Hey," I said as I entered his room, Dylan was hugging him and Jack was watching them. "Noah and Sarah have just left, they said goodbye,"

"I'm sorry," said Cam tearfully, "That wasn't meant to happen," I walked over to the bed and sat next to him.
"Noah understands," I said. "And you're allowed to be sad, all of you it's okay," I glanced at the rest of them. Cam hugged me as he started crying and I wrapped my arms around him, hoping I could at least make him feel a little better. I was also determined to help Jack and Dylan too, but knew that I had to let them come to me. I inwardly sighed, this was going to be a very sad week and we hadn't even got to the weekend yet, but these were my best friends and it was time for me to be there for them, like they'd been there for me.
