A/N: I didn't originally want to write another chapter for this, but I decided to. (obviously as im writing it right now) I DO NOT OWN GLEE or any of the song lyrics mentioned in this.
For the rest of the day, it was all Quinn was going on about; she obviously wanted to see me happy with someone, not on my own. I ignored her, and when I rolled into Glee club the next day, feeling a little low, I decided that it was time, that I sang, sang about how I felt, how this was hard for me. Everyone wasn't surprised to see my ready to perform when they arrived; Quinn looked at me, slightly panicked, and watched me carefully. Mr Schue was more than happy to let me sing.
The music started and one, one single uncontrollable tear rolled down my cheek, I didn't wipe it away, I pushed my hands into the pocket of my shorts and looked at the ceiling, waiting for my cue to sing.
"One foot on the bus
'Bout half past nine
I knew that you were leaving this time
I thought about lying down in its path
Thinking that you might get off for that
I remember that night we laid in bed
Naming all our kids that we hadn't had yet
One for your grandma and one for mine
Said we'd draw straws when it came time
I'll move on baby just like you
When the desert floods and the grass turns blue
When a sailing ship don't need her moon
It'll break my heart but I'll get through
Someday when I stop loving you
I bet all I had on a thing called love
Guess in the end it wasn't enough
And it's hard to watch you leave right now
I'm gonna have to let you go somehow
Somehow
I'll move on baby just like you
When the desert floods and the grass turns blue
When a sailing ship don't need her moon
It'll break my heart but I'll get through
Someday when I stop loving you
Oooh.. Oh someday.. Oh someday
I'll move on baby just like you
When the desert floods and the grass turns blue
When a sailing ship don't need her moon
It'll break my heart but I'll get through
Someday when I stop loving you"
Throughout the whole song, I tried so hard to not cry, to not look at Quinn, who was sat so close to Brittany, holding her hand tight. There was a look in Quinn's eyes that made me realise I wasn't being fair, that this wasn't fair. After I'd finished, I exhaled, nodded a quick thanks at Brad, and before anyone could start applause, I walked out of the choir room, and slipped into the nearest toilets. I locked myself into a cubicle, and sat on the floor, my back pressed against the door, I put my head in my hands and pulled frustrated on my hair. I heard the door open.
"Rachel?" It was Brittany, I bit my lip to stop myself from making any noise, tried to pretend I wasn't in her. I heard the click of her shoes on the floor, and then saw her head appear over the top of the cubicles. I tried to ignore her.
"You shouldn't have left Glee club, Quinn will be worrying," I told her, wiping my face and standing up. Brittany sighed, and just looked at me. I let myself out of the cubicle and, made sure I still looked presentable. Brittany carefully climbed down from standing on the toilet, and stood next to me.
"Are me and you ok?" Brittany asked nervously, she looked upset, hurt. I exhaled, slowly, and turned to her. I gave her the same smile I gave Quinn yesterday, but I took Brittany's hands, and brought them to my throat.
"You are the girl I have known since I was six years old, there will never be any hard feelings between me and you, and our friendship will not be ruined by you being with Quinn." I explained to her, and let her hands go. She smiled at me, and hugged me. She dragged me back to Glee club and instead of returning to her seat next to Quinn, she sat next to me. Quinn watched Brittany walk straight past her, looking puzzled, but she instantly realised, and smiled softly, her eyes full of love for Brittany. I bit my cheek, the pain overwhelming me again. Suddenly, Santana grabbed my hand, and pulled me into a seat, and shooed Brittany away.
"Girl gossip." She whispered into my ear, while Mr Schue was rambling on about sectionals, and how we had to up our competitive spirit. I raised my eyebrow and she began telling me about what had happened over summer…..
