A/N: This is all told in Rachel's point of view. Oh, and it isn't a two-shot anymore!!! Hope you enjoy.
I don't own Glee!!
My mind slowly wanders as I sit down next to Finn in the choir room. Noah was the only other person in the room other than Finn and I. I faintly heard Finn talking about us going out bowling like before. I graciously refused as I saw Noah's hands clench in to fists. I gulped. Maybe he was jealous; maybe he doesn't hate me anymore, I thought momentarily.
At that moment, Mr. Sheuster and the rest of Glee club entered the room chattily. I looked over and Finn seemed to be hurt as he looked between me and Noah. I put on a smile as Mr. Sheu handed me the lead part to No Air. I take in a big breath and start singing. I wasn't even a fourth of the way through the song when tears started falling down my face. I was taking in shaky breaths but I continued to sing as lovely as I always do. Half-way through the song I collapsed on to the ground. By then everyone in Glee was frozen in shock. Finn wasn't even singing. My voice was lot in my own sobs.
I felt strong steady arms around me and I looked up to see Noah, not Puck. He gave me a small, sweet smile and said, "I'm here, babe. Tell me what's wrong." His voice held sympathy that made me cry even harder.
"They left me, Noah. They aren't coming back. And you left me too. Why?" I was still crying as I said this.
"Oh, Rach. It's gonna be okay. I'm never going to leave you again, okay?" I nodded letting his words sink in. My dads were dead, but Noah was there. I was living in my house with Mr. Sheu; it turns out he knew my dads well. I was going to get through this.
"Can someone tell me what the hell is going on?" Mercedes yelled, like she had a right to know. Noah looked at her with anger and annoyance.
"Why does it even matter? It's none of your business anyway." Noah replied.
"Ignore them hon. Rachel's probably having another diva attack." Kurt said with nonchalance. Noah growled at Kurt. He looked like he was ready to pounce.
"Say one more word Hummel, I will make throwing you into the trashcan feel like a walk in the park." Noah said with vehemence.
"Noah, leave it. Just take me home, please?" I said, hoping that I could get him away from the Glee club.
"No, Rachel, they treat you like crap. You are amazing and they act like you don't do anything for them." Noah, again, had an outburst and tried to attack Kurt after saying this.
"We'd probably be better off without her. She's always stealing solos and freaking out!" When I heard Mercedes saying this I lost it.
"Maybe your right, Mercedes. I mean, I'm dealing with a lot seeing as my dads just DIED!" I screamed. Tears were again falling down my face.
The whole room was laced with awkward silence. Mercedes and Kurt looked guilty. Tina, Matt, Mike, Brittany, Finn, Quinn, Artie, and even Santana, had the decency to look sad. Noah and Mr. Sheuster just looked angry.
"Sit down, everyone!" Mr. Sheu said with force and anger. "I cannot believe you. Rachel is going through a hard time, and I would think that you would be there for her., not putting her down. Glee is canceled until you learn how to respect every member of this club!"
Noah spoke up next. "That won't be necessary Mr. Sheu. Rachel and I aren't going to be in Glee anymore."
Mr. Sheu looked at me, as if asking if I agreed. "I'm sorry Mr. Sheu. We may come back, but until I'm respected and can get through this hard time, I can't be in the club. See you at home." And with that Mr. Sheu nodded, kissed me on the cheek, and shook Noah's hand. We both walked out. I allowed myself one last look at the Glee club. They all looked ashamed. Assholes.
