"Brittany I can't wear this" Rachel said as she put on the boots Brittany had picked out for her.
(Insert cool outfit here)
"You can and you will" Kurt told her sitting on the bed.
"Yeah Rach, you look incredible" Brittany said smiling. Rachel stood up. She stumbled a little and Kurt held her.
Yeah, I'm gonna fall tonight. A lot.
"Wow" she said looking at herself in the mirror. She was wearing Brittany's clothes.
Is that me?
"Told you" Kurt and Brittany said smirking at the same time.
Wow I actually look good.
"Britt are you sure you don't mind me wearing your clothes?" she asked a little nervous.
"Why would I? We're friends, remember? San and I do this all the time" Brittany told her smiling. Rachel gave her a nervous smile and nodded.
"I bet Mike will love it" Kurt said smirking.
"Oh my God! You guys would look so cute together!" Brittany said excited.
"Wouldn't they?" Kurt said smiling.
Ok, here we go.
"Guys" Rachel said a little annoyed looking at them.
"What? You don't like Mike?" Brittany asked getting a little sad.
"No, it's not that" she said sitting on the bed with them. "It's just that…"
Hello! He's popular, handsome, smart, and funny and well I'm um yeah let's just say, not that cool.
"Rachel" Kurt said warningly.
How did you know I was thinking that?
"Look, it's just better if I know that it's hopeless ok?" she said wanting to get it over with.
"Are you saying what you think I'm saying?" Kurt asked smirking a little.
"That dolphins are just gay sharks?" Brittany asked confused. Kurt and Rachel just looked at her confused and decided to ignore that.
"Look, Kurt is just pointless ok?" she said annoyed. "Mike doesn't like me that way and he never will!"
"What? Mike does like you" Brittany told her. "He likes you a lot!"
"He does?" Rachel asked a little too excited.
"Interested are we?" Kurt said smirking.
"No" she said blushing. Kurt and Brittany just rolled they're eyes.
Liar, liar… pants on fire!
"Well, I have to go, I promised Blaine I would pick him up" Kurt told them. "You look beautiful girls" he said winking at them.
"Thank you!" they said at the same time and Kurt left.
"So, you like Mike?" Brittany asked excited.
"Well…" Rachel started.
"YOU DO!" Brittany yelled excited. "Oh, you would look so adorable! And you could go out with me and Puck and oh that would be so cool" she said jumping excited. "Why aren't you excited?" she asked sadly when she saw Rachel frowning.
"I just don't think that Mike would like me that way" Rachel said sadly.
"What do you mean?" Brittany asked confused.
"Well, I don't look like any of the girls he goes out with" Rachel said sad.
"Look Rachel, I've known Mike as long as you've known Puck" Brittany told her in a serious tone. "He really felt bad for what Quinn and Santana did last week and then for um" she said a little awkward. "throwing a slushie at you" she said not looking at her.
Your point?
"I know we made a lot of stupid stuff in the past, but Mike's a really good guy and in the past days I've seen how he looks at you. And he always finds a way to hang out with you. And he's so excited that you're going tonight and he's jealous every time he sees you with Sam, who by the way is really cute" she said grinning making Rachel laugh a little bit. "I've met every girl he's gone out with and well, they're all bitches! They've never meant anything to him. And I know that he actually likes someone, when he denies it" she said smirking.
"Really?" Rachel said a little excited as Brittany started putting makeup on her.
"Really! And tonight, he's gonna die when he sees you in that outfit" she said smiling.
"Why are you so nice to me?" Rachel asked all of the sudden. Not rude, just curious. Brittany looked at her a little confused. "I mean, you were never mean to me but well, your friends-"
"I know" Brittany said a little sad. "They're not the nicest people but we've been friends since we were kids and well, last week Santana and Quinn really crossed the line and Mike and Matt saw it too, so I thought maybe if the three of us started being your friends you would believe us and maybe the other ones will back off" she said smiling a little.
Yeah, don't count on that.
"Well, I don't know if they will, but I like hanging out with you guys" she said with a little smile.
"Well, we like hanging out with you too" Brittany said smiling.
"So, you and Noah" Rachel started and she saw Brittany blush a little.
"I really like him" she started saying. "But I don't really know how he feels about me. I mean he's really sweet to me and everything but well, I've never seen him with a girlfriend" she said a little sad.
"Well, I've never seen him look at someone the way he looks at you" Rachel said looking at herself in the mirror.
"Really?" Brittany asked really excited and Rachel nodded smiling. They finished getting ready and they went downstairs.
"Dude, you are cheating!" Mike complained like a little boy. Him and Puck were playing video games with Brittany's little brothers.
"Yeah, you can't be winning! You guys are like eight!" Puck complained in the same tone.
"Don't blame us cause you're too old for the game" Aaron told him.
"Yeah, you guys suck" Austin said laughing.
"Hey-" they were both going to argue but they turned to look at Brittany and Rachel walking down the stairs.
"Ha! I killed you again! Sucker!" Aaron yelled and high-fived Austin. "Wow" they both said when they saw the girls coming down.
"Aaron, Austin get in here" they heard Brittany's mom yell from the kitchen and the boys ran out of the room.
"We're ready" Brittany said smirking looking at Mike who was practically drooling over Rachel. Puck went over to Brittany.
"You look gorgeous Britt" he whispered smirking at her.
"Thanks Puck" Brittany said blushing.
"And you" he said turning to Rachel.
Here it comes…
"Are not wearing that" he told her.
There it is.
"What? Why not?" Brittany asked him confused. "She looks hot!"
"Yeah she does" they heard Mike say. They all turned to look at him and he blushed furiously.
I do?
"See? That's exactly what I don't want!" Puck said. "Drunk jocks stupidly throwing themselves at her! No offence dude" he said looking at Mike.
"But I'm not dressed that different from Brittany" Rachel argued.
"Yeah, but Britt's my date" Puck told them.
"I am?" Brittany asked a little shocked but happy.
"Well, um if you want to" Puck stuttered a little nervous.
"I would love that" Brittany said blushing a little. "Ok, so all Rachel needs is a date so the guys will be off her back" she said looking at Rachel. Then, she turned to look ad Mike smirking. "Maybe Matt or Sam would-"
"Or me" Mike said a little too quickly.
Other Asian said what?
"Um, Mike, you don't really have to" Rachel started. "I am completely capable of going by myself" she said told him.
"Dressed like that? Nuh uh! You're not going like that!" Puck ordered.
Oh, hello! I forgot you were here!
"Come on Rach it'll be fun" Mike said smirking a little. Rachel turned to look at Brittany who nodded excited at her.
"Well, I'd love to" Rachel said blushing a little. "But I don't really want you to feel like you have to do it" she told him.
"I know I don't have to" he said winking at her and putting an arm around her shoulders. "I want to though" he told her making her blush.
Well, maybe this will actually be a good night.
"I'm watching you Chang" she heard Puck say.
Maybe being the keyword.
"Hey guys!" Matt greeted when he opened the door.
"Hi Matt" Brittany and Rachel said at the same time.
"You look hot girls" he said smirking.
"Back off Rutheford" Puck said putting his arm around Brittany's waist and walking inside.
"My bad Puckerman" he said laughing and turned to look at Rachel. "Well, what about you gorgeous?" he told Rachel making her giggle. He was ignoring Mike behind Rachel, glaring at him.
"Matt" Rachel said blushing and walking in.
"Dude, I'm serious. If you don't do something, I'm making a move" he whispered to Mike when he walked in.
"Shut up!" Mike told him. Once he was inside, they heard doorbell ring again. Matt opened the door and saw someone he didn't know standing there.
"Hi, I'm looking for Rachel Berry" she said a little nervous.
"Lucky!" Puck and Rachel yelled and Rachel ran over to the door. "Sorry Matt, I hope you don't mind I invited her" Rachel told him.
"Of course I don't Rach" Matt told her smiling. "Specially if you bring hot girls to my house" he said winking at Lucky and making her blush a little.
"Lucky this is Matt, Matt, Lucky" she said introducing them. "And well, you know Noah, that's Brittany and that's Mike" she told her.
"Hi" she said shyly and they all waved back. They went to the living room where everyone was dancing and drinking already. Mike wasn't leaving Rachel's side.
Is it weird that I'm enjoying this?
"Is that Berry?" she heard Santana say.
"Love the outfit, hate her" she heard Quinn say. [A/N: A Cinderella Story :D]
Bitch.
"Don't worry about them" Mike whispered to her. "They're just jealous" he told her sweetly. She just smiled back at him.
"Hey Rach, hi Mike" Sam said walking over to them and then he spotted Lucky. "Oh, um, hi" he said shyly.
Love is in the air everywhere I look around… Don't blame me, my daddy loves that song! And I don't care if it's old, I like it!
"Oh, right, um, Lucky this is Sam" she said introducing them.
"Hi" Lucky said blushing a little too.
Smooth guys.
"Um, would you um" Sam said stuttering.
Spit it out you wuss!
"Would you like something to drink?" he managed to ask Lucky.
"Sure, I'd love that" Lucky said smiling dreamy at him. Sam grabbed her hand and they walked to the kitchen.
"So, Sam and your friend?" Mike asked with an arched eyebrow.
"Yeah, he begged me to invite her today" she said smirking a little.
"So, there's nothing going on between you two?"
Interested are we Mr. Chang?
"I told you on Thursday" she said with a little chuckle. She looked over at Sam and Lucky giving each other these soft looks and smiling at each other the whole time.
"Right" he said remembering it. "Um, would you like something to drink?"
"Sure, thanks" Rachel said smiling. Mike grabbed her hand and walked with her to the kitchen.
He's holding my hand. My hand! *Chandler Dance*
"Oh my God" she said looking at a picture in the refrigerator. "Is that you?" she asked taking it. It was a picture of Mike dressed as Superman and Matt dressed as Batman. They must've been about six.
Oooooooowwwwwwwww.
"Uh" Mike said taking the picture from her and putting it in his pocket. "Yeah, Matt was supposed to put that away" he said blushing.
"You look adorable" Rachel said smiling.
You mean in the picture right? Um, uh huh.
"Thanks" he said handing her a drink and she smiled sweetly at him. "You look really beautiful Rach" Mike said looking down.
Um I uh haha well, um you uh, duh, WORDS YOU LOSER CREATE WORDS!
"Uh, th-thanks Mike" she said blushing furiously.
"I mean it" he said smiling.
Oh God! His smile.
"Hey Chang, Puck! Help me here?" Matt yelled from the kitchen.
Mental note: kick Matt. But you like Matt! Fine just slap him or something he's taking Mike away.
"I'll be right back ok?" he told her smiling and she nodded.
"So, how's it going with you and Mike?" Brittany asked walking over to Rachel and dragging her to the living room.
"Well um I think is going great" she said smiling excited.
"Oh, isn't this sweet" a bunch of cheerios came walking over to them. Rachel recognized the cheerio that had been hanging around Mike in the past week. [A/N: I decided to name her Claire]
Had to be.
"Looks like the freak has a thing for your boyfriend Claire" Quinn said smirking.
What? Whose boyfriend?
"Stay away from Mike. He's mine loser" Claire told Rachel.
"Hey, leave her alone! Mike came here with her" Brittany told them.
"Well, clearly it's because he feels sorry for her" Claire said laughing.
"Britt! She's a loser! Why are you defending her?" Quinn snapped. "She's not one of us!"
"Because she's nice and she's fun" Brittany defended Rachel. "And unlike any of you, she doesn't think I'm stupid!"
"Look, obviously Mike feels sorry for you. He's using you! I mean why would someone like him hang out with a loser like you?" Claire told Rachel. "Wake up honey, he's just trying to make me jealous. Face it. You're a loser! Why would he be interested in a girl like you? You're a pathetic freak show that has to work like five jobs to even afford barely nice clothes" she said looking up and down her outfit.
Well, aren't you a treat?
"Those are my clothes" Brittany said fuming. "And Rachel has nice clothes too!"
"Yeah, I mean what could Mike actually see in you?" Quinn told her.
"Think about it. Do you honestly think he would hang out with you because you're cool? We dared him to do it" Claire said laughing.
"That's not true!" Brittany yelled.
"Why would we lie?" Quinn asked to no one in particular.
Rachel was furious. She was actually felling good hanging around with Brittany, Matt and Mike. But deep down, she knew it was all too good to be true. She glared at Claire, Quinn and the rest of the cheerios; she turned around and walked looking for Mike.
"Rachel" Brittany tried to stop her but Rachel flinched away from her and kept on walking. "Why do you always have to be such a bitch?" Brittany yelled at all of them. "What has she ever done to you?"
"Looks like she's one of them" Claire said laughing. "I think I know where my slushie will go on Monday!"
"Hey!" Santana snapped getting in front of Brittany. "If you touch her, you mess with me" she said with clenched teeth.
"Whatever Lopez" Claire said walking away.
Rachel saw Mike in the hallway talking to Matt. She was going to walk over there, when she heard her name.
"Dude, what is going on between you and Rachel?" she heard Matt ask.
"Nothing!" she heard Mike say.
"Seriously Mike! I know you better than anyone else! Brittany said she was your date tonight" she heard Matt again.
"That's because Puck didn't want any stupid jock drooling all over her! I was just trying to help. I mean she's cool and she's our friend but that's it" she heard Mike telling him.
"So, you have no feelings for Rachel?" Matt asked him straight to the point.
"No! So just stop asking!" She felt her heart ache a little and walked away without listening what came next.
Why are you aching you loser! You knew this!
"So, you wouldn't mind me asking her out?" Matt asked him smirking.
"What?" Mike asked a little mad but trying not to show it.
"Well, you said you don't like her that way. And I told you. If you didn't do anything, I'm making a move! She looks hot tonight. And she's a really cool girl so I might ask her out" he said smiling proudly.
"No you're not" Mike said like a little boy.
"Why not?" Matt asked smirking. "She's single!"
"She's my date" Mike told him.
"Yeah, but you don't like her, right?" Matt said still smirking and walking away.
Rachel walked into the kitchen, grabbed the drink off another guy's hand and choked it down. She grabbed another one and did the exact same thing. She wanted to stop everything. Nothing was ok in her life. Before she knew it, she had a few too much drinks and she went back outside.
I knew it! I knew this would happen! You know they're lying right? Shut up! I'm done listening to you! And Kurt and Noah! Just shut up!
"I can't believe you actually did that" she heard Lucky say laughing at something Sam said.
"I know, I couldn't stand up for hours" he said laughing too and Luck laughed harder. "You have a beautiful laugh" Sam told her. She blushed furiously but before she could answer…
"Hey you guys! Do you know what would be awesome" Rachel said coming to sit between them. "If you guys start dating! Cause I mean, you're the bomb" she told Sam. "And you… well you're just awesome!" she told Lucky. "And I mean you guys are so into each other! And well, this is how I see it…" she said standing up. They looked at her waiting for her to continue. "What?"
"Rachel" Lucky said getting up. "How much have you had to drink?"
"I have 2 pickles, I have 2 pickles, I have 2 pickles today, HEY, HEY!" she sang laughing.[A/N: Little Rascals :D]
"Rachel!" Sam said getting up too. "What did you drink?"
"Wow, you're mouth is really big" she said staring at his mouth. "I bet he's a good kisser" she told Lucky. "Which I don't know cause I swear I have never kissed him, I swear" she said laughing.
"Rachel what's going on?" Sam asked a little worried. "Where are Puck and Mik-"
"Shhhhhhhh" Rachel told him. "Don't say bad words!"
"Rach? Why don't we sit down?" Lucky told her.
"RACHEL!" Kurt yelled dragging Blaine behind him.
"KURT!" she yelled excited throwing her arms at him.
"Wow, you look gorgeous!" he said grinning.
"Yeah, you do!" Blaine said smiling too.
"Ow thanks Blaine Warbler" she said smiling sweetly.
"Um, what are you drinking?" Kurt asked looking at the cup in her hand.
"Uh, I don't really know" she said looking at her glass. "But it tastes like pink" she said laughing hysterically. "Oh my God!" she yelled grabbing Kurt's face and squishing his cheeks with her hand. "Listen hot stuff! I'm in love, with this song" she sang to him. "Dance with me!" she said holding his hand and dragging him to the dance floor.
"Um, Rachel honey" Kurt said a little worried. "Where's Puck?"
"I don't know" she said dancing. "Him and Chang went to help Rutheford do something" she told him.
"Chang? Wait, what's going on?" Kurt asked confused.
"Oh, my lovely Kurt" she said laughing. "Turns out I was right all along" she told him as they continued to dance.
"What do you mean?"
"Mike doesn't want me! He never did! I was right, and you were wrong" she said laughing and finishing her drink. "Wow, I need to get another one of this" she said looking at her empty glass and running to the kitchen again. She stumbled and Blaine caught her.
"Easy there Rach" he said laughing a little.
"Oh, Blaine Warbler. You know? You are so nice to Kurt! You guys are so sweet together! I'm happy that Kurt found someone like you cause you're like the awesomest! And you have a pretty smile" she said laughing too much.
"Rachel!" Kurt said running after her. "You have to calm down!"
"See, I don't wanna calm down" she told him. "I want to forget all of this! All of this that you made up!" she said pushing his chest with her finger whenever she said 'you'. "You said it was a huge deal every time he looked or talked to me! I was fine! And you came saying it could happen! You said he was flirting! You said he liked me! You even had a plan with Sam!" she wondered off for a while. "Hey that rhymes!"
"Ok, I don't know what she had to drink, but she's clearly wasted" Blaine said.
"Rachel! I've been looking all over for you" Brittany said worried coming in the kitchen.
"Why?" she asked hiding her drink so she wouldn't take it.
"Look, what Claire and Quinn said was a lie! Rachel you have to believe me!" she tried to convince her. She knew Mike cared for Rachel.
"Whatever Britt. I don't wanna talk about Mike" she told her.
"Hey Berry" Santana said coming to her a little too happy. "You know what? You're actually not that bad" she said laughing a little. Yeah, she was drunk too. "I mean you stood up for Britt and me at Sectionals and well, you give us food! Doesn't she give us food?" she turned to look at Brittany. "Yeah, you give us food! Sorry about the goyurt thing" she told her laughing.
"Yogurt?" Rachel asked confused.
"Yeah, that! And you look hot tonight!" she said smiling at her.
Is she high?
"Thanks Lopez" she simply said.
"You're welcome Berry" Santana said finishing her drink.
Maybe I'm high.
"Do you want another drink?" Santana asked her.
"YES!" Rachel said smiling widely.
"I think we're gonna become good friends Berry" Santana said making more drinks.
"Santana!" Brittany told her. "You shouldn't have anything more to drink! And neither should Rachel!"
"Brittany is right!" Kurt told her.
"Oh, don't be such a baby Hummel" Santana said handing Rachel another drink. "Well, Berry" she said smirking at Rachel. "Bottom's up!" she said as they both chocked the drink down.
Stop ta-ta-talking that
Blah blah blah
Think you'll be getting this?
Nah nah nah
Not in the back of my ca-a-ar
If you keep talking that
Blah blah blah blah blah
Puck, Matt and Mike entered the living room looking for Rachel and Brittany. They saw a few jocks gathered around a table cheering for someone. They decided to go see what it was. They made they're way to the front and saw Santana, Rachel and Brittany taking shots.
"What the fuck is going on here?" Puck asked.
"Puck!" Brittany said excited getting up too quickly and running into his arms. "I don't feel so well" she told him.
"Ok, hold on, ok?" he told her. "Chang! Take care of Rachel!" he yelled at Mike who nodded at him. At that moment, Rachel stood up on the table and started dancing with Santana. All of the guys were cheering for them, until Rachel bumped her head with a lamp and fell down.
"Rachel!" Mike said carrying her down from the table as Santana pretty much threw herself at Matt.
"Oh come on Chang. Let the girl dance" Karofsky said smirking.
"Shut the fuck up asshole" Mike said carrying Rachel away from everyone.
"Let go of me" Rachel fought in Mike's arms. "I wanna dance! Would you dance with me?" she said with a stupid smile.
"Rach, you need to calm down! You might have a concussion" Mike said softly as they reached the backyard.
"But I love this song" she said holding his hands and spinning around and she fell to the floor. "Ouch!"
"Rachel! Are you ok?" Mike said picking her up.
Damn boots.
"I told Kurt I couldn't wear this" she said laughing.
"Rachel, how much did you have to drink?" he asked a little concerned as he sat her down on a bench.
"One" she said without thinking. "No, wait, two" she said thinking. "Or three? I don't remember" she said. "Wait, I remember! It was One Bourbon, One Scotch and One Beer" she sang laughing. "Wow, this house is really big! You know, I went to the bathroom with Brittany and we got lost" she said laughing.
"Um, Rach, I think you need to lay down" he told her.
"But I wanna dance" she said pouting. "Don't you wanna dance with me?" she asked a little sad. "Oh wait, that's right, you don't like me" she said laughing sarcastically.
"What?" he asked confused.
"Where's Matt? Maybe he'll dance with me" she said getting up. "Maybe he was telling the truth" she said glaring a little at Mike.
"Rach, what are you talking about?" Mike asked really confused.
"Isn't that what you said? You have nooooo feelings for Berry! You don't like me! Nobody does! So you can just stop pretending that you do ok?" she said a little sad.
"You heard that?" Mike asked more as a whisper to himself.
"Heard what?" she asked curious as she tried to walk but fell.
"Rachel!" Mike said carrying her.
"Oh, no! I don't think so" she said trying to walk again, but again, she failed.
"Ok" Mike said sitting her down again.
"Why are you doing this?"
"I told you. You may have a concussion" he told her a little worried.
"So what? You don't care if I don't wake up" she said defensively.
"Of course I do" he said softly.
If only that were true.
"No you don't! Just stop lying!" she said getting up and managing to stay up but getting dizzy.
"Rachel calm down!" Mike said getting up too.
"Don't tell me to calm down!" she snapped at him. "Go back to your stupid cheerio- whoa!" yeah, she fell down again.
Why do they call them Cheerios? Uh Cheerios! Do we have any Cheerios?
"Rachel" Mike said worried picking her up. "Are you ok? What are you talking about?" Mike asked confused. Everything was ok before he went to help Matt. Where did this come from?
"Why are you still talking to me? Go back to your stupid friends and you're stupid girlfriend and tell them that you won the bet!"
"Girlfriend? Wait, what bet? What are you talking about?" Mike asked more confused than ever.
"Oh, don't pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about! Just don't lie to me! At least have the guts to tell me the truth! Just tell me something, why did it have to be me Mike?" she asked hysterical. "I asked you a million times to leave me alone!"
"Rachel I have no idea what you're talking about! I never did a bet with anyone! And I don't have a girlfriend!" Mike told her with a serious tone.
"Look, just let me go find Noah ok? Or Sam! I just wanna go home" she said trying to walk past him, but he saw her eyes filled with tears.
"No, Rachel, please talk to me" Mike said worried. "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong?" Rachel said laughing bitterly. "You turned out to be exactly who I thought you were. I never pretended to be somebody else. It's been me all along" she said with her voice breaking a little. "And it was me who was hurt again!" she said letting a few tears roll down her cheeks. "Look, I don't want to yell at you, ok? I'm just going to tell you that even though I have a broken family, and I have to work three jobs, and I have no money... it's you that I feel sorry for!" [A/N: A Cinderella Story... with a twist :)]
"What?" Mike asked a little confused and a little hurt. "Rach what-"
"Stop calling me Rach! You're not my friend! You never were! You never wanted to be did you? You're pathetic! You and all your friends! You have to do everything they tell you don't you?" she said crying a little more. Mike was more confused than ever. "It's not fair Mike! You can't just do this to people! You know I have just as many feelings as you do and it hurts just as much when somebody steps all over them!" [A/N: The Breakfast Club :) best movie ever made]
What? Why are you saying all this things! Stop saying this! He can use it against you!
"Rachel" Mike softly. "You're my friend! I gave you my word. I would never hurt you" he said in a serious tone.
Friend. You're just friends.
"Right cause we're just friends right?" she asked a little harsh.
Shut up! Shut up now!
"What do you mean?" Mike asked a little confused.
"Nothing" she said annoyed. "Just go back to Claire and-"
"Claire?" Mike asked getting a little bit upset. "What did she tell you?"
Oh, nothing she just pretty much spit in my face.
"She told me to stay away from you and don't worry I will I just have to get out of here" she said trying to walk past him again, but he grabbed her hand gently and turned her around but she didn't want to look at him.
Avoid eye contact!
"Rachel" he said softly lifting her face so she could see him.
This isn't working! His eyes are like mesmerizing.
"I don't want you to stay away from me" he told her putting his hand gently on her cheek. "Look, I don't know what Claire told you, but I'm not with her. I don't even like her that much. Rach, I told you all week. I want to be your friend. Everything was great today. I love spending time with you. I meant every word I've told you. You're an amazing girl" he said blushing a little. "Please believe me" he said with sad eyes.
You can't say no to him. He's too cute! And you know that he's telling the truth. How do you know? I just do.
Before Rachel could say anything, she felt her phone buzzing. She saw she had three texts.
[Kurt] – where r u princess?
[Sam] – where R u? u got lost after u almost blew it with me and LUCKY! thanks for that btw! get ur ass to the livin room NOW!
[Puck] – where the hell are you? I've been looking ALL over for you! I'm gonna KILL Chang!
"Who was that?" Mike asked her a little awkward with everything he had just told her.
"Noah, Sam and Kurt" she said without any emotion. "They're looking for me" she told him.
"Let's go find them ok?" he said with a little smile. He wanted to keep this conversation. But right now, he just wanted to make sure Rachel was ok. Plus he knew Puck would kill him if she didn't go to find him. He grabbed her hand and led her back inside the house. He led her to the kitchen first to grab a bottle of water for her. "Take this, you'll feel better ok?" he said smiling sweetly.
See? He's sweet! Shut up!
"RACHEL!" Sam came running to her with Lucky not far behind. "We've been looking all over for you!"
"Rach, are you ok?" Lucky asked her when she noticed she had been crying. "What did you do to her?" she asked Mike a little mad.
"N-nothing" Rachel quickly said. "Um, Mike was just going to give me a ride home, right?" she said when she saw Sam trying to kill Mike with his eyes.
If you don't go along with this, Sam is going to kick your ass!
"Uh, right" Mike said a little nervous.
"I'm just gonna go find Noah and tell him" Rachel told them she tried to walk away from them but Sam grabbed her hand and pulled her a little aside.
"What happened?" he whispered to her in a worried tone.
"Not now ok? Come to the diner tomorrow" she told him.
"Don't you rest on Sundays?" Sam asked her.
"Yeah, but I took Thursday off so I'm working tomorrow and I'll tell you all about it ok?" she told him. He just nodded and hugged her.
"If he did anything to you, I'm gonna kill him" he whispered to her.
"Of course you are" she said rolling her eyes. Sam kissed her forehead and said goodbye to Mike.
"You're working tomorrow, right?" Lucky asked Rachel and she nodded. "Great, cause we have so much to talk about!" she said excited and then they left.
Awkward.
"You don't have to-" Rachel started.
"I'm taking you home" Mike said with a little smile and putting her hair behind her ear. "Let's just find Puck ok?"
"Thank you" was everything Rachel could say. She started looking around for Puck and Mike was walking behind her.
"Hey Rachel" she heard someone say.
"Finn?" she asked a little annoyed she looked behind her and Mike was gone.
"You look really hot tonight babe" he said stupidly at her. He was really drunk. "I was thinking maybe you and me should go out?" he asked smirking.
I don't like his smirk. I like Mike's smirk. Why are you thinking about Mike? He doesn't like you that way! Yeah, but his smirk is still cute!
"Um, no thanks" Rachel said turning around but he stepped in front of her.
"No?" he asked a little upset. "Why not?"
"I don't like your smirk" she simply told him. "And, aren't you with Quinn?"
"Yeah, but um well-"
"Got a problem Hudson?" she heard Mike say coming to them.
Where have you been? Frankensteen is so annoying!
"What are you doing here?" Finn asked him dumbly.
"You're annoying my date" Mike said putting his arm around Rachel's shoulders.
Oh, so now I'm your date. Would you make up your freaking mind!
"Your date?" Finn asked.
"Yeah, so if I were you, I'd just keep on walking" he told him glaring at him. Finn turned to look at Rachel again, then glared at Mike and then just left.
"Thanks" Rachel said putting her arms around his waist.
"You ok?" he asked a little worried. She just nodded lightly.
"There you are! I've been looking all over for you!" Puck said coming to them. He was a little upset. Ok, a lot.
Use um, what's it called? Reverse psychology? Something like that! Yeah.
"Where have you been?" Rachel asked him, trying to sound more upset than him.
Nice.
"I've been taking care of Britt" he told her. "What's going on?"
"Mike's taking me home" Rachel told him.
"What?" Puck asked a little confused. "Weren't you st-" he started but he saw Mike widened his eyes at him so he stopped. "I mean, um, listen, I'm just gonna make sure Britt's ok and then I'll head home ok?"
Wait, what was that all about? You guys saw it too right?
"Um, sure" Rachel said a little confused on what was happening.
"Call me when you get home" he said kissing her forehead.
"Ok" Rachel said softly.
"Bye Chang! Thanks" he said bumping his fist.
"Ready to go?" Mike asked her.
"Um, yeah" Rachel said still a little confused.
"It's still a little early" Mike told her. "Are you hungry?" he asked with a little smile.
Starving!
"A little" she said with a weak smile.
A lot!
"Would you like to go get something to eat?" Mike said laughing a little and she nodded. He pulled over at McDonald's. After Mike paid, even with Rachel protesting about it, they sat down to eat and talked about anything. Rachel quickly forgot about the stupid cheerios and remembered why she liked Mike so much.
"Ok, um favorite color?" Rachel asked him.
"Blue" he said quickly. "You?"
"Purple. But deep purple" she said smiling.
"That's a band" he said laughing.
"Well, where do you think they got the name from?" she said laughing a little too.
"Favorite movie?"
"Sixteen Candles" she said smiling. "You?"
"The Shining" he told her.
"Really? I never saw that movie" she told him.
"You haven't seen The Shining?" he asked shocked.
"I don't like horror movies" she told him.
"But The Shining? Is like not watching Sixth Sense" he told her and saw her look down and blush a little. "Oh my God! You haven't seen Sixth Sense? Ok, that's it! We're having a movie marathon next week" he told her laughing.
"No!" she said a little too fast. "I mean um, it's just-"
Chicken.
"Rach" he said laughing a little. "It's just a movie. And I'll be there. I'll protect you" he said winking at her.
You can hug him when a scary part comes… Ok, I'm in!
"Fine" she said giving up, knowing she couldn't win. They kept on talking about everything and nothing in particular.
See? I told you he was telling the truth. He's a good guy. Yeah, whatever.
"I love this song" Mike said while he was driving her home. They both started singing along.
This is a call to the colorblind
This is an IOU
I'm stranded behind a horizon line
Tied up in something true
Yes, I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded by all this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting for my fuse to dry
Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be so damn much more
Cause I'm bigger than my body
Gives me credit for
"How come you don't sing more often in Glee?" Rachel asked him curious. "You have a great voice" she saw him blush.
Oooww I made him blush.
"Um, thanks" he said with a little smirk. "Uh I don't know, I guess Finn always sings with Quinn and well, I just like to dance more so, I don't mind" he said casually. "I do mind Quinn taking the solos away from you though" he said a little sad. "You have a beautiful voice Rach" he said smiling making her blush.
Karma's a bitch right? Ha ha.
"Um, thank you Mike" she said softly. "Oh my God! Could you um, pull over?" she said excited. Mike did as he was told and Rachel opened the door, took of her boots and walked out of the car.
Ok, so maybe I'm still a little drunk.
"Rach?" Mike said getting out too and following her. They were at the park. Rachel started running towards the swings and she grabbed one. "You're crazy, did you know that?" Mike said getting to the swings.
A little.
"I used to come here all the time with Noah when we were kids" she said smiling excited and she started swinging herself. He sat in the swing next to her and started doing the same thing. He looked at her and noticed how happy she was just by being in the swing. "I know it's stupid but, um" she said laughing a little. "I love swings! I mean the wind in your hair and just thinking about landing again to push yourself harder and just..." she said jumping off the swing and landing on the ground.
"Rachel!" Mike said stopping his swing and running over to her. She just started laughing hysterically. "Are you ok?" he asked handing her his hand, but she pulled him and he fell next to her laughing too.
"Yeah" she said between laughs. "I love the stars" she said looking up at them. "I'm sorry" she said sitting up. "You must really think I'm crazy" she said looking down. He sat up next to her laughing a little.
Well, duh! You talk to yourself! What do you expect?
"Well, a little but that's ok" he said laughing. "I like it" he told her. He saw her shivering so he took off his jacket. "Come here" he said putting it on her and rubbing her arms with his hands and he brought her closer to him.
Please someone stop the time! Now!
"Thanks" she said laughing a little. "I'm really sorry for yelling at you today" she said softly. "Thank you for still being so sweet to me" she said still not facing him.
"Hey" Mike said softly. "Don't worry about it. I know that those people can be really mean sometimes and that you were angry. Rach, I just want you to know that whatever they said about me, they're wrong. I really like hanging out with you" he said smiling.
"I know" she said getting a little sad. "I just don't really understand why" she said blushing a little.
"Because you're an amazing girl" he told her smiling. "You're smart, and sweet and funny, and kind" he told her sweetly making her blush even more.
"Well, thank you for everything" she said resting her head on his chest. "I had a great time with you" she said smiling a little.
"I had a great time with you too" he said kissing her head.
Oh, my God! My heart just melted! I want to freeze this moment forever.
Mike felt his phone buzzing and he looked at the texts.
[Matt] – dude! what the hell? weren't you staying at my house?
[Puck] – why hasn't Rach called me? and why isn't she answering her phone! or you! YOU'RE DEAD CHANG!
"Shit" Mike mumbled. He quickly replied Matt.
[Mike] – I am dude! just taking Rach home!
[Matt] – ask her if she'll go out with me :)
Mike just rolled his eyes at the last text.
"What's wrong?" Rachel asked a little worried.
"Puck's asking for you" he told her.
Fuuuuck! Somebody's gonna get killed. And it won't be me!
"Oh God! I left my phone in your car" she said getting a little worried.
"That's ok, just call him" he said handing her his phone. She dialed Puck's number.
"Dude, I swear if you did ANYTHING to Rachel I'm gonna kick your fucking ass!"
"Noah!" Rachel told him a little upset.
"Babs? Why are you on Chang's phone? Where are you? Why aren't you answering your phone?"
Stop talking!
"Relax Noah!" she told him. "I'm with Mike. We went to get something to eat and we're at the park. I left my phone on the car" she explained to him.
"Well, you scared the shit out of me! I'm going home now! I'm staying with you cause mom told your dad to stay at my house tonight" he told her.
"Ok, see you in a bit" she told him hanging up. The minute she handed the phone to Mike it buzzed again.
[Puck] – I'm watching you Chang!
"Sorry if he threaten you or something" Rachel said a little awkward to Mike.
"That's ok" he said laughing a little bit. "I know what it's like to be a big brother" he told her.
"Yeah, I don't even wanna know how he's gonna be with Dani" she said with a little chuckle. "Or you with Lilly" she told him.
"Hey! Lilly won't date anyone until she's twenty-five" he told her trying to be serious.
"Yeah, apparently, neither is Dani" Rachel said laughing.
"It's getting kind of late" he told her. "I should get you home before Puck kills me" he said helping her up. They got back in the car and he drove her home in a comfortable silence just listening to the radio on. When he pulled over in front of her house, he saw Puck's truck was already there. Mike quickly got out of the car and went to open the door for Rachel.
Doesn't get any better than this.
"Thank you" she said smiling dreamily at him. He walked her over to her front porch. "Thank you for everything tonight Mike" she said kissing his cheek. She was about to open the door but he stopped her.
"Wait" he said turning her around. She looked up at him a little confused. "I um-" he stuttered a little. "I was wondering if um- I don't know, maybe you would-" he said getting nervous.
Isn't he the sweetest guy? I bet you all wish you were in my place right now! Haha!
"Maybe you'd like to do this again? I mean um- j-just the two of us?" he asked avoiding her eyes.
"Um, me?" she asked shocked.
You weren't supposed to say that out loud you moron!
"Yes you" he said a little confused.
"I-I um" she stuttered too.
Words remember? Create words!
"I would love that" she said smiling too.
Wait, is this happening? This is actually happening? Somebody pinch me! No wait, don't.
He started leaning towards her. But at the last minute, he decided to kiss her cheek.
I don't care, it was still the best kiss ever!
"Night Rach" he said sweetly.
"Good night Mike" she said placing her hand on her cheek where his lips had been moments ago as she watched him walk away.
"It's 12:06 Rachel! Where the hell were you? You had me worried sick! I almost called the police" Puck said pretending to be mad when she walked in.
"My curfew is at 12:30 dad" she said rolling her eyes. "I'm not Cinderella!"
Little bit.
"Rach, what happened tonight?" he asked getting a little worried. She sighed knowing that if she even think of saying nothing, she would end up telling him anyways. She told him everything ever since they went they're separate ways at the party. "Babe, you know they were just messing with you, right?"
"Yeah, I think I know" she said unconvinced. "But still, how can I be sure that he's not just playing around?"
"Easy, cause if he were, he'd be dead" Puck told her making her laugh a little.
"Well, I did have a great time with him when we left" she said smiling.
"Hey, don't think I won't have a talk with Chang!" he said protectively.
"Of course you will" she said kissing his cheek. "Well, I'm out! Gotta get back" she said a little sad.
"Where?" Puck asked really confused.
"Reality" she told him. [A/N: loosely, A Cinderella Story :D]
"Rach-" he was about to lecture her again.
"Come on, let's just go to bed" she said not wanting to hear it. Or wanting to think of getting back to her life. She loved her dad and her family.
The Puckermans people.
But tonight, she got to leave that life and live another one. And she liked it. She really liked Mike. He could make her forget about everything that was wrong in her life. They went to sleep and after a while, something woke her up.
Shit! Noah's snores are worse than a fucking truck!
She saw her phone buzzing in her nightstand. When she opened it, the biggest grin appeared on her face.
[Mike] – I had a great time tonight Rach! ;) you looked really beautiful btw!
Turns out it was the best night ever!
