Hi, i have made another chapter, hope its alright...
Chapter 6
"Can you guys seriously just back the fuck up!" this was getting seriously annoying! I love them and everything but why can't they just leave it be and let me do what the hell I want!
"We can't do that Rach! You need to stop playing this twisted fucked up game of yours! I almost lost it today and ended up fucking punching you! Brittany doesn't like seeing you like this and I know that Puck fucking hates it. Right guys?" Santana asks turning back to look at the others.
"She's right Rachel; we can't just sit here and let them bully you every fucking day when you don't deserve it, its fucking killing me Rachel!" Noah passionately states.
I can't look him in the eyes when he gets this sad because of me, I just can't go there.
"Please Rachel, it makes me sad when you are sad" Brittany sniffles as Santana goes to stand by her side, rubbing her back soothingly.
"I can't" I repeat weakly, I can't risk it.
"Yes you can Berry! What are you afraid of? It won't be like when it was just you and Puck, you have Brittany and I now and nobody fucking messes with me" Santana growls out.
"What am I afraid of? Fuck you Santana, there was a time when you yourself used to fucking bully me! Or did you forget that?" I spat in anger, I can't help it, this topic makes me angry.
Santana backs off as though I have just hit her and she looks to the side "I apologised for that, I di, I didn't know you back then and I am fucking sorry Rach, I really am, but that doesn't mean I am going to sit around and watch you get hurt!" the anger is back now and I can see both Noah and Brittany watching the scene with worried eyes.
"You want to give me advice about being myself at school? Well what about you and Brittany? Are you out? No, so don't come down here and tell me what to fucking do when you can't even do it yourself!" I immediately regretted my words and tried to take them back "San..."
"Don't" she grinds out through clenched teeth "Just don't".
My brother looks at me in disappointment and Brittany looks like she doesn't really know what to think. I just nod my head and grab my hoodie, ignoring Brittany's pleas to stay as I go out into the dusk.
I shouldn't have said that... I really shouldn't have said that. That was completely below the belt, but she was driving me fucking crazy.
I don't know how long I have been walking and, frankly, I don't really care. I must have been out for a while though as it looks like the sun is just coming up.
I suppose I should head on home, I don't really want to worry Noah, but I'm sure he covered for me with dad and daddy.
I look around frowning. OK... where the fuck am I?
I look around again, not knowing what to do when I spot a lone figure on top of the slide in that little wooden cover at the park across the street.
Usually I would ignore this, but they look so familiar. I gradually move closer peering past the shadows to get a look at her face. Quinn? What is she doing out?
I open the gate and walk into the park unnoticed; I then climb up the ladder of the slide, popping my head over the edge to peer in.
Her head snaps up from where it was rested in her arms to look at me with tear tracks running down her cheeks.
I fold my arms on the floor of the small room, resting my head in them to the side as I peer up at her.
Anyone might find it weird seeing half a body hanging off the slide but I could care less right now.
"Hey" I say gently, not wanting to startle her.
"Hi" she says weakly, completely un-Quinn like.
"We've got to stop meeting like this" I say teasingly, successfully getting a small smile.
She slides over, creating a space for me next to her against the back wall, patting it encouragingly. I happily oblige.
Sliding down next to her I say... "sooooo... You want to talk about it?" GAH! Is it possible not to be nervous around this girl?
She doesn't say anything for a while, just staring ahead at nothing. I'm beginning to think that she won't answer when. "Do you believe in Karma?" she asks suddenly.
I blink once. Did I hear that right? "I think good things happen to good people" I say carefully, not really knowing what she is getting at.
"Yeah but, do bad things happen to bad people?" she asks almost desperately, looking me in the eye.
"It depends. I think if someone is truly a bad person, they will get their comeuppance, but otherwise who knows?" I question lightly.
Silence falls again.
"I'm a bad person" she whispers almost to quietly for me to hear.
"No you're not" I deny.
"How can you say that? I have been such a bitch to you ever since you got here" she says looking at me incredulously.
I shrug my shoulders and smile softly at her "Does a bad person find a quiet corner to cry alone? I would never wish any evil on you Quinn. Karofsky however, I wouldn't mind if god took a shit on him every now and again" I say huffing in annoyance at the idiotic goon of a jock.
Quinn stares at me wide eyed and in shock.
"What?" I ask self-consciously. Since when did girls have this affect on me?
She bursts out laughing falling on her side, holding her stomach.
I don't really know what I did that was so funny, but I can't help but smile at the sight of this girl, she is truly beautiful when she lets go.
She finally calms down enough to gain some composure but there is still amusement in her eyes. "You're so different from school Rachel"
She said my actual name! I like the way it sounds coming from her lips. "Your pretty different yourself Fabray" I counter, not wanting to get into this.
"Touché"
We both fall silent again, looking out at the park as the sun rises a little higher.
"What are you doing here Rachel?" she asks looking at me again with those soft hazel eyes, no accusations behind her tone.
I stare at her, the light casting a soft glow to her skin, making her look almost angelic. Breath taking...
"Earth to Berry?" she asks, waving her hand in front of my face.
I blush immediately, looking away. Rachel Puckerman Berry does not blush!
I scratch the back of my neck, a nervous habit I have discovered hanging around Quinn of late. "er, I sort of had a, er, disagreement at home and left to clear my head for a bit... I saw you here and thought I would come see what was up... so yeah, that's my excuse, what's yours?"
"I had to think about some things..." I get the feeling that is all I'll get out of her.
"I should probably be heading home now. My... Dad will be getting worried" she falters at the word dad... Why?
She stands up, climbing down. I follow saying "Yeah me too"
We both walk out of the gate together while she turns to walk down a different street.
I stand there, watching her go, not knowing what else to do considering I don't even know how to get home...
She stops and looks back at me amusedly "You're lost aren't you?"
"N, no" I splutter. "I am perfectly capable of finding an acceptable route home" I fall back into Rachel Berry mode, realising I have been the real me to much around Quinn lately.
She frowns at that, before she continues walking away, throwing over her shoulder "You pull off the sweats look well by the way"
I look down at myself, noticing my sweats and hoodie, before looking back up, blushing bright red.
How does she do that! I know I am a hot piece of ass, I got all the thongs to prove it, yet she says I look nice and I turn as red as a tomato? This is so wrong!
Once she disappears I look around, trying to find my way home when I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. I pull it out noticing 4 missed calls from Noah and 6 missed calls from Santana, I quickly answer my phone.
"Hey"
"Don't you hey me! You have been gone for the entire night and don't answer your fucking cell-phone? Where the fuck have you been?" I have to pull my ear away from the phone as Santana yells down the line.
"You finally got through?" says a relieved Noah in the background
"Sorry, I went out for a walk and didn't hear my cell going off" I decide to leave the bit about Quinn out, I am pretty sure she doesn't want people to know about this.
"Well, we are in the car now so tell us where you are and we'll pick you up." Santana demands.
I laugh nervously "well, that's kind of my problem at the moment; I don't really know where I am"
"Where is she San?" asks Brittany in the back ground.
"Not only do you keep us up all night worried but you go and get yourself fucking lost? Describe where you are" she demands yet again.
"erm, I am on a street, with houses on one side and a children's park on the other..." I say unsurely, looking around for a road sign or something.
"The only park like that around here is near Quinn's house, we'll be there in ten Rach" she says.
"San..." I try to get out but she has already hung up.
10 minutes later Noah's car pulls up and all 3 of them jump out, walking in my direction.
Noah runs straight up to me, picking me up in his strong arms, swinging me around in a tight hug "don't do that to me again sis" he says, tightening his hold.
I gently ease myself out of his grip "Don't worry Noah, I am fine see?" I say gently, before turning to Santana.
"Hey San, I am so sorry about what I said, I didn't mean it and you have every right to hate me right now..." I try to apologise.
"Will you just shut up" she says pulling me into a fierce hug "we both said shit we shouldn't have, what's important is that your safe".
I hug her back; not really knowing what else to say when "GROUP HUG!" yells Brittany jumping on the both of us giggling, while Noah circles his arms around all of us.
"Right enough of this mushy crap. I haven't gotten laid in 2 days Rach! I need my wing man with me tomorrow" Noah declares, breaking the group hug.
"You know it man! What we going for, the 'shy guy' act?" I suggest.
"Hell yeah, we haven't run that one in a while!" he says enthusiastically.
"What's the 'shy guy' act" asks Brittany confusedly from her pace in Santana's arms.
We both grin at each other. "Maybe one day, we'll show you".
"You know, we have been friends for over a month now and it still creeps me out how much you 2 are alike" Santana says with a shake of her head.
"You know it" Noah says as we fist bump, before hitting our chests, holding our fingers out in the sign of peace.
"Is that a new one?" Brittany asks.
"Do you guys seriously sit up in your room practicing secret handshakes and stuff?" Santana asks us incredulously.
"Na, we are just that awesome that we know what the other is thinking" I say wiggling my eyebrows.
"I don't believe that, what are you both thinking right now?" Santana asks, hoping we fail.
We both look at each other and grin.
"Boobs" we say at the same time.
"How did you do that?" she asks surprised.
"Because we were thinking the same thing" I state like it was obvious.
"We are so awesome!" Noah fist pumps.
"Hell yes we are!"
"Let's just go" Santana says tiredly, opening the door for Brittany, before following in after her.
Got to love family!
I know that some of you wanted Rachel to hurry up and be herself at school with Noah, Brittany and Santana at her side, but i couldn't help but agree that we needed some more faberry moments before that, it may be another 1 or 2 chapters away though.
BTW, do you guys want lemons in this fic at all? i have never actually written any myself, but i can try to if you want it.
Thanks for reading, please review!
