Going to school was the hardest thing the brunette had to do. Rachel Berry felt so lonely in the middle of these crowded hallways where nobody even looked at her. But really, the hardest thing was Glee Club. At the beginning everybody had been worried about her but now she was just a ghost, invisible. It was like she had never been there.
"- Hello kids! Today we are going to try to find a setlist for Nationals. We can't repeat the mistakes we've made last year, we need to win!"
Rachel was sitting at the back of the choir room, alone, like always. The Glee kids started to talk to each other to find songs they wanted to sing while the brunette let her mind wander freely, not really paying attention to what was going on. When her name was called she didn't even hear it, why would someone even call her? Everybody knew she was not going to answer. But the person who called her insisted.
"- Rachel?"
She came on Earth and realize that all the kids were now staring at her and that Mister Shuester was the one calling her. She looked at him, he was waiting for an answer, not just a look, words. He called her again, three times.
"- Mister Shue, the midget finally stopped talking please don't make her open that huge mouth again." said Santana.
"- She clearly doesn't understand that a silence treatment that lasts six weeks turns the diva into seriously crazy."said Kurt.
Rachel didn't know what to do. They had every right to be mad at her, she was mad at herself. Why? She had no idea. But she knew that the reason why Santana and Kurt were so mean was because they were hurt. And the brunette hated herself for hurting them but it was not her fault. Or was it?
"- Santana, Kurt, stop it." Will was still looking at Rachel, like nothing could come in the way of him getting what he wanted.
"- Why should we stop?"
Santana got up to face Rachel.
"- We get it! Your wedding has been canceled but Quinn is in a fucking coma! You only care about yourself and you say you want friends when you're not even able to feel something about Quinn getting hit by a truck. You're the one who should be in the hospital right now!
- SANTANA SIT DOWN!
- No Mr. Sue, I'm out of here."
And after that she left the room, and Kurt and Brittany ran after her.
Rachel wanted to run away too but she couldn't let her emotions take over. She was looking at her feet but knew that everybody was now looking at her.
"- Glee Club is over for today kids. Come back with ideas for Nationals okay?" said Will.
Rachel was about to leave when someone called her name behind her. Blaine was still sitting while everybody else was already gone.
"- I need to talk to you. You don't have to say anything but can you at least hear me out?"
She nodded. She was standing still unable to move, thanking God to be such a good actress because she would have been crying her heart out if she wasn't.
"- I'm sorry about Kurt and Santana, they're trying to hold on as much as they can. We all are. And I know that you are too, but you can't possibly feel better if you don't let us see what you're going through."
In the war that opposed Rachel and her tears, the brunette lost another battle. She was mentally yelling at herself for letting these tears invade her face while Blaine ust kept talking.
"- I want to help you. But I have no idea how you feel. I just want you to know that you can trust me and if you ever need to talk to someone you already have my number. And if you ever call me I promise that it will stay between us okay?"
She nodded again, not knowing what she was supposed to do next. Blaine got up and walked towards the door. Before he left the room, he turned around to tell Rachel:
"- Think about it, please."
And then he was gone.
