*Friday*
Friday went by quickly. On my way to work Rachel caught up with me and gave me her number just in case I couldn't find Quinn's house, or if I ever needed to get a hold of her. I gave her my number in return and started my shift at work. Once again my father had to work late and I worked early the next morning so I decided to leave him a note saying I'd be out till Sunday not that he'd be one to notice. Having the extra time I decided to work out a little and continue playing guitar before I went to bed.
*Saturday*
I woke up slightly uneasy about the party tonight. I had never been one to go to parties, since I was considered the stick in the mud. Never the less I promised Rachel I would so I got a bag and packed stuff I would need for the night and went to work. As I was nearing the end of the day's shift Burt walked up to me.
"Hey you been doing a great job, I gotta close up early anyway. I have stuff I need to get out of town, why don't you get off an hour early?" He asked.
"No thanks Mr. Hummel, I wanna finish work up on this car, after I'm finished I'll let myself out." He let out a tired laugh.
"It's Burt. Don't make me fire you for calling me Mr. Hummel." I smirked as I continued the work on the car.
"Whatever you say... Mr. Hummel." I laughed. He rolled his eyes, closed the shop then left. I looked around to see the shop empty. ' Why not ' I thought to myself. I plugged my mp3 player into some speakers in the back and put on SHINee's Lucifer. I smiled as the music filled the air.

I danced to the song as I still remembered all the dance moves to it. As the song finished and went to MBLAQ's Stay I closed the hood to the car and turned around to see an amused Kurt.
"Umm... Exactly how long have you been there?" I asked feeling embarrassed.
"Long enough. How come you never told us you could dance? You should help teach at the dance class on Wednesday." He said smiling.
"As FUN as that sounds. No."
"Aww, why not?" He whined.
"Do I need to give a reason? I said no, respect my decision. Drop it." I said seriously. He only stared at me back. "Fine, I have work, that's a reason."
"I can ask my dad to give you an hour off-"
"I need the money. I can't take time off. Especially for something as redundant as teaching you guys to dance when you already have Mike doing that." He let out a sigh knowing I wouldn't budge.
"Fine fine, but you should dance more often. Your really good. I think you'd be a great addition to the Glee club."
"I don't sing." I responded grabbing my bag.
"Neither does Mike really." I let out a tired sigh.
"I just can't give the commitment right now. I have a lot going on in my life. Don't have the time for show choir competitions." I responded. He nodded knowing I wouldn't go into it. He looked at my bag for a moment.
"You decided to go to the party tonight?" He smiled excited.
"Yeah... Rachel is a very difficult person to say no to..." I responded giving him a half smile. He laughed.
"Your just now noticing? Well, if your going Blaine is gonna pick me up in a few minutes to drive us, why don't you come with us?" He asked.
"Sure... if you don't mind. I can always just get there on my own though."
"It's no problem! And until he gets here we can talk about... All this." He said gesturing to me.
"... You just gestured to all of me."
"Precisely. Girl, what is with this look? It is so last year. You could do with some brighter colors to really bring out your eyes." I let out a laugh.
"I appreciate it Kurt but I like my clothes. I would have thought Rachel would be your first target for a makeover though. You know... with all the argyle and animal sweaters. I thought it would bother you."
"It does." He grumbled. "But that girl WILL not see reason. Have you TRIED to talk to her? Once Rachel Berry has made up her mind about something that's that. She loves her outfits no matter how bad they are. At least she has enough talent to make up for it." I gave him a dramatic gasp.
"No... Impossible. Kurt ADMITTING Rachel is talented. Thought I would never see the day." I joked.
"Hey! I can admit she's good. She may not have my flare but she's good." I tried my best not to laugh at the response as I grabbed my mp3 player. "By the way what was that music you were listening to?"
"Ah, you wouldn't know it. It's Korean pop music." I responded.
"Korean... pop? Would've never guessed."
"I unlike most of you Glee clubbers listen to a variety of music of close to every genre. K-pop just happens to be my favorite."
"I see." He smiled. "What do you mean close to every genre?"
"I hate country. With an intensive passion." He laughed.
"Hun, we are so on the same page. I can't stand it either." He responded as Blaine pulled up. "Party time! Come on lets go!" He said excitedly. It was less awkward then I had thought it was driving over to Quinn's. Kurt was a lot less annoying then I gave him credit for.
"So?" Kurt asked.
"Wha?" I asked having zoned out for a moment. He let out a sigh.
"Don't avoid the question Isabella! What is your type of guy?" He asked raising an eyebrow.
' No kind of guy. ' I thought to myself. "Erm..." I started trying to think of a response.
"Kurt, she doesn't have to say if she's not comfertable." Blaine said defending me.
"Ugh! Don't ruin my fun. We haven't had another girl in glee in forever!" I let out a small laugh.
"Well I hate to disappoint you Kurt, but I don't really have much of a girly side." I responded giving him a sad smile. He shrugged.
"But you do still have a girly side DEEP down inside. I WILL FIND IT ONE DAY!" He yelled determined. I rolled my eyes and looked out the window to see a large house. ' Damn... People here really have it nice don't they? 'I thought.
"Here." Blaine said parking the car. Only two other cars were there and I could safely assume one of them was Quinn's.
"We early?. . . " I asked slightly confused.
"No, but the others are probably just late as always. Puck's probably buying the alcohol for tonight." Kurt said getting out of the car. I got out of the car and helped Kurt with his bag since it was heavy to him. "Damn girl! How are you that strong."
"I believe the REAL question is how little time have you spent building upper body strength." I teased playfully.
"Tushay~ For your information sweat does not do any good to my complexion. Not that you'd know. Your skin, while abnormally pale is really nice."
"Um... Thanks?" He laughed.
"Girl we need to get you educated. It's like you've learned nothing from your mother." I laughed the comment off, but hurt inside. Kurt pranced up to the door Blaine and I behind him and rang the doorbell.
"Hey guys come on in." Quinn said opening the door and rolling her eyes.
"Do not roll your eyes at me Quinn." Rachel said sending her a playful glare.
"Well you deserved it."
"How so? I simply thought it was bad manners for me to open the door when it is clearly your house. It is also your party, so it would be wrong if I-"
"Shut it Berry!" Santana yelled walking into the living room Brittany closely following behind. She then raised an eyebrow at Kurt, Blaine and I. "You all drive over together?"
"Yeah, turns out Isabella here is the dream mechanical genius my dad always wanted. She works at the shop." Kurt responded. "Oh Quinn where do you want us to put our things?"
"Girls upstairs guys downstairs, but Mercedes and Tina can't spend the night so Kurt you can sleep upstairs. It will even out the amount of girls." Quinn said.
"Alright. Which room?"
"Umm..." She started.
"Quinn I am shocked. Room accommodations was one of the things you were in charge of. Didn't you see the list I put in your locker Thursday?" Rachel asked. "I made a very simple and easy to follow checklist for your convenience." Santana just looked over at Rachel annoyed.
"I'm sleeping with S!" Brittany smiled hugging Santana.
"Alright." Quinn said. "Kurt can sleep in my room with me. S and B can get my parents room and Isabella and you can take the guest room. Problem solved." I inwardly sighed. ' It's just one night. Your just sharing a room. Why did I have to get put with her of all people? 'I thought to myself. Kurt then gave me a smile.
"What...?" I asked worried.
"Since your going to put your stuff up there anyway-"
"Yes I'll take your things to your room." I said rolling my eyes and heading up the stairs.
"I'll show ya the rooms." Quinn said following me. She took Kurt's bag and thew it in her room then showed me the guest room. "Sorry... If Rachel forced you to come." Quinn said giving me a sympathetic look.
"It's no problem. I'm actually enjoying myself more then I thought I would. I was just worried that she invited me without running it by you first." She smiled.
"We're a-"
"Family I know." I said rolling my eyes. She laughed.
"Yeah, Rachel kind of beat that into my head when we became friends... I wasn't exactly the kindest person to her, but she helped me through a lot. Whenever I said that she shouldn't forgive me that easily she ranted on and on about how glee is a family."
"She seems to really care about everyone in glee."
"She really does."
"Oh, um... What are we having for dinner?" I asked.
"Pizza why?" She asked.
"Vegetarian." I said. Quinn smirked. "...What?"
"Rachel's a vegetarian too. Made sure I bought a lot of fruits and vegetables for the party." She said rolling her eyes. "But we're just getting pizza later. She can be a pain sometimes but she's just looking out for everyone." I nodded and followed her back to the living room. Mercedes, Sam, Tina, and Mike had arrived.
"Screw it!" Santana yelled at the TV.
"Don't blame the game Santana. Maybe you just can't da-"
"Continue that sentence Mercedes and I promise you all of your designer clothes will have corn syrup imbedded in them!" She yelled making Mercedes shrink back in her seat. "That's right. Who's next?"
"Next for for what?" I asked confused.
"Dance Central!" Brittany said excitedly.
"Ah, never played it before, but it got good reviews." I responded. Kurt gave me a look.
"Isabella should go next." He said smiling. I sent him a glare.
"Yeah come on white girl lets see your moves." Mercedes said.
"Nah really I'm good... Maybe later."
"Come on Isabella. Its fun, no ones gonna make fun of ya if your not that good. Even Santana didn't get a hundred percent." Tina said trying not to anger the Latina.
"I was doin it on hard! I'd like to see a white girl besides B that can do better then me." She looked at me and glared. "You. Dance. NOW." I let out a sigh.
"... Fine." I said taking off my jacket and standing in front of the console. "Erm..."
"Whats wrong?" Sam asked.
"I'm not really a fan of current music. Anyone have a song choice they want me to do?"
"GAGA!" Kurt yelled immediately. I smiled to myself and scrolled through the songs till I found Just Dance by Lady Gaga. Then I picked to do it on hard.
"Izy... You said you never played before." Rachel said concerned.
"How hard can it be? Its just a dance game." I responded as it exited the loading screen and the music started. As the moves were displayed I danced to it as best I could, but really didn't see much difficulty compared to learning an SNSD song with eight other people or trying to do a good dance to on a DDR game. As the song ended I waited for the score and it said 100% of moves were done right. Santana maintained her scowl.
"That doesn't mean shit. It's just a game." She responded angrily.
"Wow S. Lost to the new girl." Quinn teased.
"Shut it Barbie!" Santana yelled. Brittany just wrapped her arms around her calming Santana a bit.
"Nice job Isabella." Tina said.
"Thanks... I think Kurt should go next." I said smirking.
"I saw that coming." He said getting up. "Alright, I'm not playing on hard though." He said scrolling through the options.
"Hey hot mama!" Puck said coming in with Finn both carrying an assortment of random alcoholic drinks. Quinn rolled her eyes.
"Think you bought enough Puck?" She asked raising an eyebrow.
"I didn't say we have to drink ALL of it... But it will be funner if we do." He smiled. Rachel gave both him and Finn a look.
"What?" Finn asked confused.
"I specifically stated that we should keep the amount of alcoholic beverages to a minimum. We have a lot of Glee work to get to. We're performing our first song of our project this coming week and we need to get in all the practice we can. If we all get drunk then our performances that are supposed to be "the best" will suffer. We all need to concentrate and get better so we can win nationals this year." She explained agitated.
"Geez Rachel relax. You REALLY need to loosen up." Finn responded. At this point it was clearly obvious that Finn was already drunk. "It's just one night plus you already have your song rehearsed and ready. So the others may not, but hey just means you'll beat them out and be the best right? Then you'll get the solo again. So be happy and stop being such a kill joy." The room went silent. Rachel looked shocked and on the verge of tears. She was literally speechless. Quinn sent a glare to Finn that would make a grown man cry. I tried to quickly think of a reason to get Rachel out of there before she began crying. That's when I spotted her backpack in the corner.
"Rach..." I began softly. "Why don't I help you take your stuff to the guest room?" I asked already pulling her upstairs grabbing her bag on the way. As soon as we were out of eyesight I could hear Quinn yell at Finn to get out. I closed the door to the guest room and looked over at Rachel who was sitting on the edge of the bed staring at the floor. ' ... What should I say? 'I thought to myself as I sat next to her. "I'm... sure he didn't mean that Rach."
"Yes he did... After all that he still thinks I only care if I get the solo... Maybe it's true-"
"No its not." I said cutting her off. "It's obvious you want everyone in Glee to do their best and get better. You care about them a lot... like..." I let out a laugh. "Like a family. That kind of love can't be faked." She was silent for a moment.
"You've only been here a short time. It used to be my goal to get every solo. I even stormed out every time someone else did AND threatened to quite."
"USED TO. That's not the person I see. Believe me. I have met many self absorbed diva bitches. You aren't one of them." I said looking her in the eyes. She let out a small smile. "Santana on the other hand... She might be a self absorbed diva bitch." I said jokingly. She let out a laugh.
"Thanks Izy." She said giving me a hug. I froze for a moment, but returned it.
"Anytime." I smiled. "Don't let anyone make you think you're some horrible person. You're one of the kindest people I've met and your amazingly talented."
"You really think so?"
"Yes to be honest I think you have the best voice in Glee, but I will deny it if you tell anyone. As Mr. Schuester's assistant I have to remain impartial."
"It's our secret then." She smiled. ' She's so cute when she smile. 'I thought.
"So... You okay to go back downstairs? We can stay up here if you want."
"No, I'm good. I do not support drinking to ease tension or make yourself feel better, but I would not entirely mind a drink right now." She said getting up.
"Drunk Rachel Berry... That's something I would pay to see. I can't imagine you drunk." I laughed.
"Whats that supposed to mean?" She pouted.
"You seem so innocent. Like a little kid." I smiled. She sent me a playful glare.
"I'll show you! I can be just as ill behaved as my classmates. You weren't there when we had the party at my house. Everyone had horrible hangovers the next day." I rolled my eyes.
"One party. Your such the party animal Rach." I teased as we walked back downstairs.
"Quinn! I require your strongest beverage. Izy doesn't think I can party!" Rachel said entering the living room. Quinn laughed.
"Sure thing Rachel." Quinn said handing her a drink. Rachel then happily took a seat on the couch watching Brittany easily beating Dance Central. The next hour and a half passed quickly as Brittany had decided to break out twister after dinner. Most of the Glee kids went down quickly and in the end it was the cheerios, Rachel and me, but having had a few drinks myself I fell over and took Quinn with me. Of course Brittany was the victor.
"What do you guys wanna do next?" Quinn asked.
"7 MINUTES!" Puck slurred. Quinn rolled her eyes as everyone quickly gathered in a circle. I awkwardly took a seat between Santana and Mike. "Alright! Who's lucky enough to get to spend 7 minutes with the Puckasaurus?" He quickly spun it and it slowly came to a halt in front of Sam. The whole room erupted in laughter. "HELL NO!" Sam and puck yelled in unison.
"Its the rules Puck. You HAVE to do it." Quinn laughed. Puck let out a sigh in defeat. He and Sam spent 7 minutes in the closet most likely standing awkwardly as everyone else laughed. Next is was Santana's turn to spin and it came to a stop on Kurt. They both let out an irritated sigh but did the deed. When they returned Kurt looked as if he'd been emotionally scarred. I let out a laugh at his expression.
"Laugh all you want its your turn!" he glared. I let out a sigh.
"Yeah yeah." I gave the bottle a hard spin. As it slowed down it looked as if it were about to stop on Puck, but it kept going just a little more then came to a halt. ' No... 'I thought to myself. I looked up to see deep brown eyes staring back at me. There was an awkward silence for a moment and then Kurt burst into laughter. I couldn't help but notice the nervous look on Rachel's face as we both got up and walked to the closet. After I closed the door we both stood there awkwardly in the dark and silence. I let out a soft quiet laugh. "We don't have to do anything Rach."
"Izy, I am offended that you would think I Rachel Berry would not play a game by its rules. I unlike Puckerman WILL follow all rules to any game and or challenge I partake in." She whispered angrily.
"Oh really? Well then missy. Make my seven minutes heavenly." I laughed teasing her playfully. Then she swiftly tried to kiss me but miscalculated the distance between us and sent as both stumbling backwards and into the wall. I ended up being pinned between the wall and Rachel. "Ouch..." I said rubbing the back of my head that just collided with the wall. I blushed realizing the awkward position we were in. Rachel let out an irritated sigh.
"Sorry... The worked out better in my head." She said. I smiled.
"We still got about 4 minutes left." I said. "We can still play by the rules." I spoke our lips only inches apart. "Let me try this time." I whispered. I slowly closed the distance between us and gently kissed her. After a moment I licked her bottom lip wanting more. She parted her lips and allowed me to kiss her deeply. As my tongue explored her mouth I tasted both vodka and a hint of raspberry livesaver. We both parted slightly for air. I smirked slightly. "I think my kiss wins."
"Mine didn't count! We fell." She tried to say angrily but I could tell she was smiling.
"Excuses." I laughed.
"Well then. Compare this." She said as she kissed me. I felt her body press against mine as she deepened the kiss. I kissed back just as fiercely and softly nibbled on her lower lip. She let out a soft moan into my mouth and I felt my desire growing. Next time we parted we were panting. "So?" She asked confidently.
"Much better." I said slightly dazed. "But... I think I can do better."
"I take that challenge." She smirked. Our lips met again with intensity, tongues fighting for dominance. I smirked as I won and started moving on her as I deepened my kiss. She let out another soft moan as I slowly started moving my hand-
"Times up you too!" Mercedes yelled. ' DAMN IT! 'I cursed internally thinking we had more time. We both pulled apart. We got up and exited the closet.
"Have fun you two?" Blaine asked.
"Funny Blaine. Your next Mike." I said taking my seat. ' I wonder if she liked it... ' I thought to myself. ' It's just a game Izy. JUST A GAME 'I assured myself. Soon after that Mercedes and Tina left.
"Alright guys, one movie and then bed." Quinn said grabbing a DVD.
"What movie?" Blaine asked wrapping his arms around Kurt. I ended up once again next to Rachel. ' How does this keep happening? '
"Dead Silence." She responded smirking.
"Isn't that a horror movie?" Rachel asked uncomfortably.
"Yeah, I've seen it before. It's really good." I answered. Rachel just sank back into the couch.
"Get over it Berry, it's just a movie." Santana snapped. Quinn started the movie and by the end most of the guys were passed out and Rachel was literally under the blanket blocking her vision of the TV.
"Alright." Quinn yawned. "Bed." She said as she sluggishly lead the way upstairs. I tiredly grabbed my sweat pants from my backpack and was about to leave to change in the bathroom when I was stopped.
"W-Where are you going?" Rachel stammered.
"To change..." I said. "why?"
"I just... Nothing." She said getting her pajamas. I let out a sigh.
"I'll change in here." I said. "But you have to turn around." She nodded.
"You too." She said turning around and starting to change. I quickly turned around and got in my sweat pants not wanting her to notice the scars that ran across my thighs as well. After we got changed we got under the covers and I faced the wall and closed my eyes. After a few minutes I could tell she was still awake.
"It was just a movie Rachel." I said breaking the silence. She jumped slightly.
"I know..." She said curling up. I turned over and looked at her. She definitely wasn't used to watching horror movies. I wrapped my arms around her protectively.
"I wont let anything hurt you. So sleep. Trust me, I'm a lot scarier then anything that could possibly attack us."
"Your not scarey. Your-"
"Argue in the morning. Sleep."
"Fine." She yawned. She closed her eyes and relaxed. I waited until she had fallen asleep then allowed my eyes to drift close falling asleep with a sense of peace I had not felt in a long time.
