Mike woke up in the middle of the night and he noticed Rachel wasn't next to him. He was about to freak out when he saw the window opened and Rachel sitting on the roof. He went out to sit with her.
"Rach?" he asked. She flinched a little and looked at him.
"Oh, sorry, did I wake you?" she asked in a soft voice.
"No gorgeous, I just woke up and saw you here" he said smiling at her and hugging her to him. "What's on your mind doll?"
"I'm sorry about earlier" she said a little ashamed.
"It's ok doll, there's nothing you worry about" he told her kissing her head. He noticed she was hugging something. "What's that?"
"Nothing" she said a little too quickly and trying to hide it. He looked at her with a weird look. She sighed. "It's my teddy bear" she said looking down a little embarrassed. "My dad gave it to me when I turned two. It's the only thing I have left from him" she said with a tear running down her cheek. "I miss him" she said almost whispering.
"I know doll" he said giving her a kiss on the cheek and running his fingers through her hair. "So, what's his name?" he asked her smiling.
"Beary" she said blushing a little.
"Beary the Bear?" he asked with a little chuckle.
"It was one of the few words I could say when he gave her to me" she said defending herself. He smiled at her. "You know, I felt alone my whole life" she said in a sad voice. "I mean ever since I left to live with my grandma. Don't get me wrong! She was the sweetest person ever! She just worked a lot you know? And then I was thrown into this fake world; I mean Blaine was my only friend there! No one else really liked me! The girls hated me because I was dating Jesse" Mike clenched his fist a little when he heard his name, "and the boys really just didn't come near me because of him too. I was so stupid!" she said with a sarcastic chuckle. "I know I've been here for a week but you guys have really made me feel like I have a real family."
"I know" Mike said in a soft voice. "I didn't think I could have a family again. Puck is right, we may be twisted and crazy, but we're gonna be ok doll! I promise" he told her hugging her tighter. "Come on doll, let's go to sleep. We have school tomorrow" he carried her inside and they fell asleep again.
"Wake up midget!" Rachel heard Puck say.
"Mmmm I hate Mondays" Rachel said sleepy.
"Do you remember what happened last time you didn't get up?" Puck asked.
"I'M UP!" Rachel said sitting in her bed.
"Ok, we leave in ten minutes" Puck said.
"WHAT?" Rachel said getting up. She went to the bathroom as fast as she could and showered in cold water, cause there was no time. She grabbed the first clothes she saw, looking like she was wearing three different Halloween outfits. She started brushing her teeth and walked down the stairs with her toothbrush in her mouth and putting on a boot. She tripped and when she saw inside the kitchen, she saw Matt and Mike in their pajamas eating cereal and looking at her as if she was crazy. The next thing she heard was Puck coming down the stairs…laughing hysterically at her.
"That was priceless midget!" he said between laughs. Rachel glared at him.
"Uh, Rach?" Matt asked still confused.
Rachel went to grab Matt's cereal and walked over to Puck pouring it all over him. "You are a jerk!" she told him. She turned to Mike and Matt and told them the whole story. They were holding their laughs because they didn't want her to pour cereal on them.
"Fuck midget!" Puck complained. "Now I have to go change!" he said walking upstairs again.
"Relax, doll! You have time to eat something" Mike told her smiling.
After everyone got ready they left for school. Kurt was waiting for Rachel on the parking lot.
"I'll take it from here gentlemen" he told the three boys, who looked at him with a weird look and followed them. He grabbed Rachel's arm and walked her to her locker. "Ok, so we're going shopping for my date with Blaine" he told her.
She laughed a little at him "Of course we are" she said rolling her eyes. "After Glee?" Kurt nodded. Just then, Mercedes joined them.
"What are we talking about?" she asked them.
"We're going shopping for my date with the perfect man!" Kurt said excited.
"The date is on Friday! Can't we do it tomorrow?" Mercedes asked him with a chuckle.
"Wait, what could be more important than the perfect man? Oh, duh! Perfect shoes!" Rachel said as if realizing her dumb question. [A/N: quote from The Perfect Man! Love that quote! :)]
"I didn't think it was possible, but I think I'm in love with you!" Kurt told her. Then he turned to Mercedes "Wait! You never say no to a shopping trip! What's up?"
"Nothing" she said looking suspicious. Kurt and Rachel looked at each other smirking and with an arched eyebrow. Mercedes was about to walk away but Rachel got in front of her shutting her locker door closed.
"Spill chocolate diva" Rachel said.
"There's nothing to spill" she tried to convince them.
"Does this 'nothing' have to do with a certain chocolate jock?" Kurt said smirking.
"What?"
"Oh, come on! If I don't get it from you, I'll get it from 'chocolate jock'!" Rachel told her mocking Kurt's nickname.
"We have a date" Mercedes said smiling.
"OH MY GOD!" Kurt said getting excited. "When did this happen?"
"Yesterday, when he dropped me off" she told them.
"Hey I was there! How come I didn't know?" Rachel said.
"You were passed out in Mike's arms" Mercedes said with dreamy eyes.
"WHAT?" Kurt said shocked.
"I was not passed out! I fell asleep" Rachel.
"They looked adorable!" Mercedes told Kurt.
"Ok, stop it! It's not like we're official or something" Rachel said.
"Uh hello! He told you how he felt about you in front of everyone!" Kurt told her. "And you answered back!"
"I know, but is not like he has asked me on a date or something" Rachel muttered a little sad.
"Oh, honey! Trust me! He will!" Kurt told her. The bell rang and they left to class.
Rachel went to sit next to Puck and behind Mike. Puck noticed she was a little upset. "What's wrong midget?" he asked.
"Nothing" she said not convinced. She was a little upset about her talk with Kurt earlier.
"You know I don't believe you right?" Puck told her.
"It's nothing! I mean it's just…" she turned to look at him and sighed, "forget it it's stupid."
"Rach, you know I won't stop asking you until you talk" he told her. Rachel looked at him, then she looked at Mike sitting in front of her and then back at Puck. "Chang?" Puck asked. She nodded. "What happened? You spent the whole weekend together! You were so adorable you made me sick!"
"I know! And I mean he told me that he likes me a lot and I told him too! And he's like incredibly nice to me! And I really do like him, but it's just… I don't know I mean Blaine and Kurt are going on a date, and Mercedes and Matt are going on a date and yesterday Britt told me you guys are going on a date on Thursday and it's just…"
"You want Chang to ask you out on a date?"
"It's stupid I know! I just I don't know! It will feel like we're official you know?" Rachel told him.
"Hey! What are you guys talking about?" Mike turned around to ask them.
"Nothing" Rachel said.
"You're an idiot man" Puck told him.
"What? Why?" Mike asked him.
"Shh! Shut up guys you're gonna get us in trouble!" Rachel said glaring at Puck.
"You tell her all about how you feel and you don't ask her on a date?" Puck told him.
"Noah! Shut up!" Rachel said.
"Dude, not that is any of your business but I was going to ask her today!" Mike told him.
"Oh, really?" Puck said.
"Ok, seriously guys I'm right here" Rachel told them.
"Yes, really so shut up Puckerman!" Mike said.
"Mike, hay algo que quieras compartir con la clase?" Mr. Shue asked him.
"Uh si?" Mike said and he stood up. He turned to look at Rachel and grabbed her hands. "Rachel, would you go out on a date with me?"
"What?" Rachel asked shocked looking at the whole class looking at them.
"I was going to ask you yesterday when we got home, but I didn't get the chance and then today you were in a rush and when we got to school Kurt stole you" he told her. "So, would you go out on a date with me, tomorrow?" he asked again smiling at her.
Rachel laughed a little and blushed a lot. "Of course" she said smiling. Mike leaned down to give her a peck on the lips. The boys started wolf whistling and the girls were staring at them with dreamy eyes.
"All right, guys settle down!" Mr. Shue said. "Uh, Mike I didn't exactly meant that but it's ok I guess. It would've been better if it you said it in Spanish" he said joking. When the bell rang they walked outside.
"I'm really sorry I hadn't ask you before" Mike told Rachel putting an arm around her shoulders. "I really was going to, I just didn't have the time and-"
"Mike" Rachel stopped him putting her finger in his lips. "It's ok, really I'm just glad you did! I mean it would've been ok if it wasn't in front of the whole class but, thanks" she told him. He gave her a kiss on the head and they went to their next class. Her phone started vibrating.
[Kurt] i heard all about mike asking you out! i want the details! :)
[Matt] so, chang finally asked you out? i'm gonna have to talk to him ;)
[Noah] told you he was going to ;) i still have to kick his ass though!
She answered all of them and before she knew it, the class was over. She went to her locker to put her things away and she felt someone following her. When she turned around, she didn't see anyone. She turned to her locker again, and she felt someone again.
"AH!" she jumped a little when she saw Jacob-Ben Israel standing next to her. "What the fuck Brainy!" she said getting angry.
"Look Rachel I heard that you were going on a date with Mike Chang" he said.
"So? What's it to you?" she asked annoying.
"I feel the urge to kiss you. I'm just gonna go for it" [A/N: quote from 'Throwdown'] he said starting to lean to kiss her. Before she could push him away, someone did it for her. She saw Puck smashing Jacob against the lockers.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing Jew-fro!" he said with clenched teeth.
"Uh... uh nothing?" he said shaking.
"That's right! Nothing! You have absolutely nothing to do with her! If you come near her again or just think of looking at her again I'm gonna beat you so bad, your mom will have to turn you inside out to recognize you! Do you hear me?" he said angry. He wasn't yelling, but that made it even scarier. Jacob nodded and when Puck let go of him, he started running down the hallway. "You ok midget?" he asked looking at Rachel.
"Ew! He's the grossest guy I have met!" she said with a disgusted face and shaking as if she was shaking him off her shoulders.
Puck chuckled a little and put an arm around her shoulders "I told you, no one messes with my sister!" he said kissing her head. "If he keeps on giving you crap you call me ok?"
"Of course badass brother!" she said. "Let's go to lunch I'm starving!"
When they were in the cafeteria, they sat with Mike, Matt and Finn. She saw Brittany running to her and she gave her a hug.
"Oh my God! Oh my God! I heard what happened in your Spanish class! That was so sweet!" she told her. "We can go in double dates with Puck!" she said getting excited.
"Yeah Britt, I'm sure we could do that" she said smiling at her.
"Oh, I have to go! We're supposes to talk about the cheerios routines right now but, I'll see you in Glee?"
"Sure Britt! Actually, Kurt and I are going shopping after Glee, would you like to come?"
"Sure! That sounds fun! I'll see you later!" she said walking to the cheerios' table.
When it was time for Glee, Rachel went to her locker to put her things away.
"Hey babe, did you get all dressed up for me?" she heard Karofsky said.
"Get away from me!" she said a little scared.
"Oh, come on babe! We can have fun!" he said smirking at her. She tried to walk by him, but he grabbed her wrist. Rachel started panicking. She looked for Matt, Mike, Puck, Kurt, anyone really!
"Let me go!" she started yelling at him.
"Make me!" he told her. Rachel's eyes grew wide.
"Karofsky!" she heard someone say. When she looked up, she was surprised to see Finn. "She said let go"
"Yeah, but she didn't mean it, right babe?" Karofsky said looking at Rachel. Finn saw how scared she was.
"Let her go, right now" he said through clenched teeth. "I don't care if we're in school, I can beat the crap out of you and get away with it. And trust me, I won't be the only one that does." he told him with venom voice. Rachel hadn't seen Finn this angry. Well she has never seen him angry. Karofsky let go of Rachel, but he pushed her to the lockers, and she fell to the floor. Before he could walk away, Finn grabbed him and smashed him against the lockers. "What the fuck man? If you touch her again I'm gonna beat the shit out of you! Of course standing in line after Puck, Matt and Mike!" he let go of him.
"Whatever Hudson! I'll see you around babe" he said looking at Rachel before walking away. Finn wanted to kill him, but he saw Rachel scared sitting on the floor and thought she needed someone right now.
"Rachel are you ok?" he asked her. She nodded but still looked really scared. "Come on, let's go to Glee. Matt, Mike and Puck are already there" he said helping her up.
When they walked in the choir room, Mike, Matt, Puck, Quinn, Santana and Brittany were already there. When Mike saw the look on Rachel's face, he came running to her and pulling her into his arms. "Rachel? What happened?" he asked looking at Finn.
"Finn what the hell are you doing with that freak?" Quinn said.
"Karofsky happened man!" he told him, ignoring Quinn. "I don't know if he's like stalking her or something."
"WHAT? What the fuck did he do now?" Puck asked getting angry.
"The same thing he always does" Rachel said. "But Finn saw him, and he came to help me."
"No, not the same Rach" Finn said looking at her. He turned to the other three. "He grabbed her wrist and push her to the lockers" he told them really angry.
"WHAT! I'm gonna have a serious talk with that asshole" Matt said furious getting up.
"No, you're not! You're not gonna get into more trouble!" Rachel said.
"Rachel! We don't care! That asshole hurt you!" Mike said even angrier than Matt.
"NO! I'm not gonna let you go and kill a gorilla! Or get killed by it!" she said.
"Oh, please clearly she's over reacting" Santana said rolling her eyes.
Rachel was about to tell her to fuck off when someone snapped before. She couldn't believe who it was.
"Over reacting? OVER REACTING? Fuck Santana! How stupid can you be! I saw the whole thing ok? I SAW him grab her wrist and PUSH her to the lockers!" Finn yelled at her.
"Why are you even on her side?" Quinn said getting angry. "Maybe she wanted it!"
"Fuck Quinn! Seriously! I knew you guys were bitches but are you actually hearing what you're saying? I mean this is a girl who got pushed by a guy three times her size! You're unbelievable!" Finn snapped at Quinn.
"He really did that?" Brittany asked a little scared.
"Yes!" Rachel said. "Finn smashed him against the lockers and told him to stop it!"
"There must be something we can do!" Puck said. "This shit isn't nothing Rach! Maybe we can talk to Principal Figgins, or Mr. Shue."
"I guess we could try" she said in a soft voice. A minute later, Mr. Shue came in with Kurt, Mercedes, Tina and Artie behind him.
"Alright guys, why don't you take your seats. I have a few ideas for today" he told them. Then he noticed everyone's faces. "Uh, is everything alright?" he asked.
"No!" Matt said furious. "Karofsky is stalking Rachel Mr. Shue!"
"What? What do you mean?" he asked a little confused.
"Ever since she started at school, he keeps on appearing out of nowhere and telling her stupid things!" Puck said.
"Yeah, we told him to back off but he never did!" Mike said.
"Yes! And today, he grabbed her wrist and pushed her into the lockers!" Finn said angry.
"WHAT?" Mr. Shue and Kurt said together. Kurt ran to Rachel.
"Are you ok?" he asked her.
"Yeah, just a little scared, Finn came to stop him" she told him.
"Ok, let's go to Principal Figgins' office. Finn you're coming too since you saw the whole thing" Mr. Shue said.
"We're coming too!" Puck said.
"Guys, I know you want to help, but Finn was the only one that saw the actual assault! I mean you've seen him just talking to her, so just stay here for a while ok? We will be right back" Mr. Shue told them.
"We're gonna wait outside for you ok?" Mike told Rachel kissing her forehead. She nodded and followed Mr. Shue and Finn.
About thirty minutes later, they came out more upset than they got in. Everyone, except Quinn and Santana, was waiting for them.
"This is bullshit!" Finn said getting really angry.
"Finn calm down" Mr. Shue told him.
"What happened?" Mercedes asked them.
"Principal Figgins says there's nothing he can do. That he has to talk to Karofsky to see if the whole thing is true" Rachel said.
"What the fuck do you mean if it's true!" Puck said getting angrier than Finn. "He hurt you! Did he even see your wrist?" Everyone turned to look at Rachel's wrist. No one noticed it before because of the arguing and Rachel was hoping they wouldn't. She had a really ugly bruise.
"I am going to kill that fucker!" Mike said with venom in his voice.
"Mike! Listen guys I'm as angry as you" Mr. Shue said with a really angry voice "but violence is never the answer! We'll meet tomorrow with Karofsky and his parents and we'll see what we can do ok?"
"So, that's it? No one's gonna do anything?" Matt asked.
"Coach Sylvester said she would help. I don't really know why, but she was in the meeting and said she would make sure Karofsky doesn't get near Rachel" Finn told them.
"Yes, and so will I" Mr. Shue said in a serious voice, looking at Rachel.
"Well I guess that's something" Matt muttered.
"Look guys, why don't we call it a day and we'll pick it up Wednesday ok?" Mr. Shue told them. "I'll see you tomorrow! If there's anything you need Rachel, you tell me ok?" he said looking at Rachel. She just nodded and he walked away.
"Ok, we have to do something about this! I'm not just gonna sit here and wait for them to do nothing!" Puck said angry.
"You're not doing anything! Look with Coach Sylvester and Mr. Shue said they would help! I told you, you are not going to fight that gorilla!" Rachel said a little mad. "Now, I'm gonna go to the mall with Kurt and Brittany! I know you have a date with Mercedes" she told Matt "so I'll see you when I get home" she turned around, grabbed Kurt's and Brittany's hand and left. Mercedes and Tina went to Mercedes' house so she could get ready for her date.
"We're not gonna listen to her are we?" Puck asked Matt.
"Hell no!" Matt said. "I don't care if I get killed! I don't want that fuck near Rachel!"
"So, what do we do?" Artie asked them.
"We're gonna go visit him" Mike said with an evil look.
They arrived at Karofsky's house and they saw that his car was the only one there. Matt knocked on the door and Karofsky opened it.
"What do you losers want?" he told them. Before he could say something else, Puck grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and smashed him against the wall.
"You think is funny to push a girl asshole?" he asked him with clenched teeth.
"Look-" he started.
"Shut up! You don't get to talk! You listen jackass!" Finn told him really angry.
"You have two options" Artie said.
"One, you go tomorrow to Principal Figgins' office and tell him what happen and accept being suspended, or expelled" Matt said glaring at him.
"Or two, we make you understand to stay away from Rachel for the last time" Mike said cracking his knuckles.
"Rachel are you sure you're ok?" Kurt asked her. "We can go tomorrow if you don't want-"
"Kurt! Really I'm ok! I just want to get all the drama out please?" she told him. They arrived at the mall and head to the stores. About an hour and a half later, Brittany and Rachel were exhausted.
"Kurt, seriously! That one looked good!" Brittany told him sitting in front of the fitting rooms.
"Good is not great Britt!" he told her.
Brittany and Rachel rolled they're eyes at him. "Ok, I'm gonna go get us something to drink" Rachel told Brittany "I'll be right back."
Before she went to buy something to drink, she went to the bathroom. She noticed it was empty. When she came out to wash her hands, she heard the door closing, but when she turned to look at the door. No one was there.
[A/N: thanks YoursForeverXx! (your request) :)]
"Hello?" she asked getting a little nervous. Ok, it's been a weird day and now you're imagining stuff. She thought to herself. She jumped to a sound again, but this time, she heard someone locking the door. "Is anyone there?" she said turning to look at the door. When she looked back in the mirror she saw someone standing next to her. She was about to scream, when that someone grabbed her hands in one hand and with the other one covered her mouth.
"Oh, I wouldn't do that if I were you babe" she heard Jesse say. She felt her heart stop and her stomach drop. She started panicking and her eyes watered. "Now, you may be wondering how did I find you?" he went on. "Well it wasn't that hard, when you chose the town where my family lives in" he told her. What? She thought. "I'm guessing you know Dave Karofsky?" Rachel paled. "Well, his dad and my dad have been friends since they were in kindergarten, they're pretty much brothers you know? And Dave and me go way back. Before they moved to Ohio. I thought you'd be smarter, I mean you made it really easy babe. He's been telling me all about you. In fact, he told me this morning about your date with some Mike? Said the whole school was talking about it! I thought I told you that once I got here, you'd be all mine" Rachel's eyes winded.
"Rachel?" she heard Brittany yelled from the other side of the door.
"Look babe, I gotta run, but listen to me! Now you know I'm not joking. Not only do I know where you are, I also know you have nowhere else to go. So, we'll be meeting more often and finish what we started. Now, if you tell anyone about this encounter, or I find out you told anyone about that night, and by anyone I specifically mean your precious Mike, Matt and what was it? Oh yeah, Puck! If you tell them anything, I'm gonna make sure they disappear, and you know I have the power to do it babe, so I wouldn't try me if I were you. Specially your lovely Mike, he seems to be your favorite! I don't think you wanna risk losing the only lame people you have on your side. So you know what to do, don't kiss and tell babe" he told her before pushing her against the wall and walking out the door. Rachel sat there, with her knees hugged to her chest, for what it seemed like forever crying until Brittany walked in with Kurt.
"Rachel! Where have you been? We've been looking all over for you-" Brittany sai walking to her. "Oh my God! Are you ok?" she asked when he realized she was crying.
"Yeah I just… I" she stuttered. "C-can you p-please take me home?" she said crying.
"Sweetie what happened?" Kurt asked really worried.
"N-nothing! Really I j-just… I-I'm not feeling well!" she told them.
"Rachel-" Kurt started.
"We'll take you home, come on" Brittany said helping her up. When they got home, they saw Mike, Puck and Finn in the living room playing video games.
"Hey baby" Puck said getting up to kiss Brittany and then he saw Rachel. "Rachel? What happened?"
Rachel ran into Mike's arms and she was shaking. "Doll, what's wrong?" he asked in a soft voice. Rachel didn't say anything. She just tightened her grip on Mike's shirt. Mike turned to look at Kurt and Brittany for answers.
"We don't know!" Kurt told them. "She said she was going to get something to drink and she never came back!"
"We started looking for her and we found her in the girl's bathroom crying on the floor" Brittany finished.
"Rachel, baby look at me" Mike said in a really soft voice. She looked up at him with really scared eyes. "What happened doll?"
"N-nothing" she said stuttering a little. "I just didn't f-feel well." she told him before looking down again. "What happened to your hand?" she asked looking at Mike's bruised hand.
"That's nothing doll, don't worry about it ok?" he said lifting her head, so she could see him.
"Puck! Your hand is hurt too!" Brittany said pointing it. Rachel turned around and saw it. And then she saw Finn's hands. They were also bruised.
"What did you guys do?" Rachel said forgetting she was scared.
"Nothing!" the three said at the same time.
"Mike!" Rachel said turning to him again.
"We went to Karofsky's" he said looking down.
"What! What did you do?" Kurt asked.
"We taught him a lesson" Finn said.
"Yeah, cause that's been working so well" Rachel said sarcastically.
"It did this time!" Puck said smirking. "We told him it was his last chance, and that we could get him any time after school. I think he finally got the message."
"You ALL beat him up?" Kurt asked a little shocked and a little proud.
"Even Artie did" Mike said smiling. He leaned down and whispered to Rachel "He's not coming near you again doll" she smiled weakly at him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Just promise that was it?" she asked. He nodded and kissed her forehead. "Can we watch a movie?"
"Of course doll! We just ordered pizza! What do you wanna watch?"
"Why does the midget get to pick the movie?" Puck said childishly.
"Brittany will pick it with me" Rachel said smiling.
"Oh, can we watch 50 first dates? That's my favorite movie!" she said jumping up and down.
"Sure! It's in my room! Come on!" Rachel said and they went upstairs.
***In Rachel's Room***
"Rach, can I ask you something?" Brittany asked her when they were in her room.
"Sure" Rachel said, not sure if she wanted to hear the question.
"What happened at the mall?" Rachel turned to look at her. "Rach, you looked really scared! And I said we'd bring you home cause I figured you wanted to be with Mike, but why won't you tell us what happened" she said in a really worried voice.
"Look Britt, I… I can't tell you ok?" she said a little scared.
"Why not?"
"Listen Britt, I wish I could ok? I really do! But, Mike, Matt and Noah are the closest thing I have to a family! And I can't lose them!"
"Why would you lose them?"
"I don't know! I… I'm sorry Britt. I can't tell you! Just… don't worry about it ok?" she said with a sad smile.
"Rach, I'll let it go for now!" she told her. "But I don't want you to be in danger or something, you'd tell me if something was wrong right? I mean if not me, at least one of the guys! Please? I got really scared about what Karofsky did to you today, and you're one of the few people that are actually my friend! I don't want anything happening to you."
Rachel's eyes watered. She had never had a real girl friend. She went to hug her and said "Thanks Britt! You have no idea what that means to me! You are the first girl that is actually my friend!"
"Hey, girls what's taking you so long-" Puck said coming in the room. "Hey, why didn't you tell me this is what you were doing? Mind if I join you?" he said smirking. They just rolled their eyes and Rachel hit him in the chest.
***Back In The Living Room***
"What happened Hummel?" Puck asked when the girls were upstairs.
"Puck, I swear I don't know! She was gone a long time so we went to look for her. We looked everywhere! We went to the food court, then we came back to the store in case she returned and didn't find us there and then we thought maybe she went to the bathroom. When we got there, she was sitting on the floor, shaking and crying. She looked really scared! We asked her what happened but she just told us she wanted to come home" he told them.
"What do you think it could've been?" Finn asked clueless.
"I don't know but we have to find out" Mike told them.
"What's taking the girls so long?" Puck asked walking upstairs. When they came down again, they started eating and watching the movie.
Abut an hour later, Kurt left and drove Brittany home. Matt came in from his date with Mercedes. He saw Finn passed out on the couch, Puck eating pizza on the floor and Rachel asleep in Mike's arm on the other couch.
"Hey guys" he said. He saw Rachel waking up. "Hey sleeping beauty!"
"How did your date go?" she asked sleepy. "And show me your hands!"
"What?" Matt asked confused.
"She knows we went to Karofsky's! Chang told on us!" Puck said.
"Way to go Mike!" Matt said glaring at him.
"Hey! Is not my fault! She gave me those big puppy eyes!" Mike defended himself.
"Yeah, I know those eyes" Matt said laughing. "Those eyes made me watch Aladdin a lot of times when we were kids."
"Your hands Matty!" Rachel said waking up completely.
"All right mom!" he said rolling his eyes and showing them to her.
"OH MY GOD! Yours are the worst!" she said getting up to the kitchen to grab ice.
"Yeah, for a moment we thought he was gonna kill him" Puck said with a chuckle.
"It's not funny Noah! You guys could've gotten really hurt" Rachel said coming with the ice in her hand.
"Doll, there was five of us! Karofsky was alone! There's nothing he could've done!" Mike told her.
"Still" she said childishly.
"How did shopping go?" Matt said, changing the subject.
"Um, well" Rachel answered quickly.
"Rach? Is everything ok?" Matt asked. Dammit! How does he know me this well?
"Yeah, everything's fine" she said smiling at the three of them. "I'm uh, gonna go to bed guys, I'm really tired" she said giving each of them a kiss on the cheek and running upstairs.
"Something happened man" Puck turned to Matt.
"What?" Matt asked both of them.
"We don't know! She won't tell us! Kurt said she went to get something to drink and she never came back. Him and Brittany started looking for her and found her in the bathroom crying on the floor" Mike said.
"She told them she wanted to come home and when they arrived she looked really scared" Puck continued.
"She wasn't crying anymore, but we knew something wasn't right" Mike finished.
Matt sighed. Of course something was wrong. Everything was starting to look too good. She had finally opened up to Puck and Mike and now she built up the walls again. Even for him. "Look, I'm gonna go take a shower and then I'll talk to her ok?" he told the other two. They nodded and Puck went to wake up Finn and Mike went to Rachel's room. He knocked on the door and opened it at the same time. He saw her on the roof again.
"Hey" he said sitting next to her. "How's your wrist?" he asked holding her hand in his.
"Better" she said in a soft voice. "It looks worse than it feels."
"How are you feeling?" he asked.
"Fine"
"You know what 'fine' stands for right?" he told her teasing a little. He thought she was gonna laugh or say something but she didn't. She just said
"Yeah"
"Rach, what's wrong?" he said turning her to face him.
"Nothing" she said looking down.
"Look at me and tell me that nothing's wrong!" he said worried. He saw a tear escape from her eye. "Why won't you talk to me doll?"
"I can't" he heard her whisper.
"Why not?"
"I don't wanna lose you" she said quietly.
"You're not gonna lose me!" he said lifting her head so she could see him. "Rachel I haven't felt this way about anyone in a long time. I care a lot about you. I've been telling you I'm not gonna let anything happen to you. Yesterday you finally opened to me and now you're closing again! Don't do that doll" he said with a sad voice. She started crying a little harder.
"I'm sorry! I wanna tell you! I really do! I just… I'm scared!"
"What are you scared of? Did Jesse called you again?" he said a little angry. Rachel didn't answer, she just cried harder. "Baby, please tell me what happened" he heard the door open and saw Matt standing there. "Look, Matt wants to talk to you but just… if you're not talking to me, at least talk to him ok? We're all worried about you doll! You know where I am if you need me" he said kissing her head and standing up. She felt horrible. She knew how much they cared for her. Specially Mike. They just beat the crap out of a guy for God's sake! And now, she couldn't talk to them. She knew Jesse could take Matt, Mike and Puck away from her. She wasn't sure how he could do it. But she knew he always get what he wanted.
"Hey" she heard Matt sitting next to her. "I haven't come up here since your dad died" he said with a sad voice. He hugged her to him. "What's wrong baby girl?" he asked in a soft voice.
"I'm scared Matty" she told him.
"Why?" he asked rubbing her back. "What happened?"
"I can't tell you!" she said crying harder.
"Why not? Rachel you know there's nothing you can't tell me" he told her.
"I can't Matty! I can't lose you again!"
"You won't lose me again Rach! What are you talking about?"
"I don't know! It's just… it's been a weird day ok? With Karofsky and the whole thing? I don't know I just got scared and I really don't want to lose you, Puck or Mike!" she said crying a little more.
"Baby, you're not gonna lose us! And we told you that asshole is not coming near you again ok?" he said kissing her head. "Are you sure that's it?"
"Yeah, I guess it just was a long day" she said softly.
"Come on baby" he said carrying her.
"Uh, where are we going?"
"We're staying in the living room. We don't want you to be alone when you're not feeling well. We set the whole thing up like when we were kids" he told her smiling. She gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"You rock Matty!" she told him.
"I know" he said laughing. She looked at the living room and there was a big blanket tent over five mattresses. Mike, Puck and Finn were inside. She laughed at it and went inside with Matt. She was in the middle of the four boys. Matt was at her right and Mike was at her left. Puck was beside Mike and Finn was next to Matt. They laid there for a couple of minutes in silence.
"Hey we should sing a song" Puck said.
"What?" Finn said at the other end.
"Yeah, I stole an ukulele from Karofsky's living room" Puck said. They started laughing.
"You don't play ukulele loser" Matt told him.
"I play guitar! How different can it be?" Puck said. Rachel just laughed silently at all of them.
"You can't be serious" Mike said.
"Yeah, I'll play the song from the movie" Puck said.
"Dude, you are such a wuss! You totally like that movie" Finn said.
"What movie?" Matt asked.
"50 First Dates" Mike answered. "He only likes it because it's Brittany's favorite" he said teasing him.
"Shut up man!" Puck argued.
"Whipped" Matt coughed.
"Whatever! Rachel likes it too! And I want to make it feel better and I know you all know it because Mr. Shue made us sing that song one time" Puck said.
"No he didn't" Finn said.
"Actually he said to sing a song they made up in a movie" Mike said.
"Whatever! I'll tell you when you come in" Puck said and started playing the ukulele. [A/N: please read the song, there are lines between them! haha read between the lines :)]
[Puck, Matt, Mike, Finn]
The Hukilau was the place
Where I first saw your face
[Everyone chuckled now and then. "Take it Finn" Puck said.]
We liked each other right away
But you didn't remember me the very next day
["Yeah, rock it Hudson!" Matt said laughing.]
Forgetful Lucy
Has got a nice caboosey
["Watch it Puckerman" she heard Mike say. "Your turn Chang" Puck said laughing.]
I used to trick you into pulling your car over so we could chat
But my favorite time was when you beat the shit out of Ula with a bat
["I thought you said you didn't know it" Finn mocked Mike. "Matt!" Puck said.]
Then we drove up to see Dr. Keats
And found out why Puck always has to change his sheets
[Matt sang laughing. "That was low Rutheford!" Puck argued. Rachel kept on laughing silently]
Forgetful Lucy
Cracked her head like Gary Busey
But I still love her so
And I'll never let her go
Even if while I'm singing this song
She's wishing I had Jocko the walrus' schlong
They all started laughing. "You're sick Puckerman" Matt said between laughs.
"That's the last time I sing with you guys" Finn said laughing too. While they were mocking each other, Mike leaned to whisper the last part of the song into Rachel's ear.
Forgetful Lucy
Her lips are so damn juicy
How about another first kiss
He finished the song and kissed her softly on the lips, smiling, before watching her fall asleep.
A/N: song: Forgetful Lucy - Adam Sandler, 50 First Dates
