I didn't get the amount of reviews I wanted, but I still couldn't help but update.
Before you scroll down, and ignore my AN like some of you do, READ THIS. ITS ABOUT GLEE SEASON 2.
Ok.. First of all…
OHH MYY CHERRY! Did you see the teaser promo for season 2? All I can say is, my mouth watered with delight when Finn told Quinn he still has feelings for her. HOT DAMN. Puck, hot as ever. Quinn is back on the cheerio's and her and Santana have a fight.. I think its over the position.
Anyway, check it out. Its amazing. More info at the end of the chapter (:
I will be writing the chapters for this story during their summer break, until season 2 comes out so that I will have everything the same in show except it will be cherry. Like, I was already planning the songs, but then I saw the promo and I knew that there will be other songs, obviously. In my story, It will end up with the songs I chose though, my story, my twist.
Enjoy.
Ch6: Don't Give In…Yet.
…..
Previously:
You lift my feet off the ground You spin me around You make me crazier, crazier Feels like I'm falling and I I'm lost in your eyes You make me crazier, Crazier, crazier Crazier, crazier
The whole time the brunette sang the song, she stared at Mike. His expression was unreadable but turned to happy by the end of the song.
…..
Later on that day, Santana , Rachel and Brittany were sitting on the deck chairs near Rachel's pool, deciding the time of the party.
"It cant be 4. It has to be later. Maybe when it gets dark." Santana proposed.
"Yeah, people might be tired after school." Brittany agreed as she sipped her orange juice.
"Ok. So maybe from 7?" Rachel asked.
"Yeah, that's good. 7-8. Anyway, who are you inviting?" Santana asked.
"Well the glee club minus the trio and yeah.. I don't really know." Rachel mumbled.
"Ok. Ill just invite the nicer cheerio's and jocks then, Okay?" Santana asked. She knew Rachel wasn't that popular yet and by inviting her friends, maybe, just maybe they would approve of her.
"That would me great, Santana." She said happily.
"Ok. Now, changing the subject." Brittany said after a while.
"To?" Rachel asked curiously.
"Mike." Santana said evenly as if she said it a million times.
"What about him?" Rachel mumbled, her face going slightly pink.
"You're blushing, you like him." Santana said proudly.
"N-" Rachel began.
"Berry, I'm a girl too, I know these kind of stuff. Don't hide, okay? I just want to talk about you two." Santana said.
"Ok." The brunette sighed, defeated.
"You like him." Brittany said.
"Yes." Rachel said.
"And you wanna kiss him." The Latina said smugly.
"Yes." The brunette said.
"Don't. Not yet." Santana said carefully. Rachel turned to the Latina and looked at her curiously.
"Why not?"
"If you want him to want you, you need to make him want you. You .. You need to tease him . Don't give in yet, okay?" Brittany answered for Santana who nodded appreciatively.
"Well.. Okay." The brunette said tiredly. She liked Mike, and she wanted him to want her.
"Good."
The three friends laid quietly on the deck chairs, fixing their tan for tomorrows Party, when all for a sudden Rachel said.
"I wanna sing something."
"Of course you do." Santana said loudly with a laugh.
"Sweet Escape?" Rachel asked her friends.
"Perfect." Santana said with a bright smile.
[Rachel] :
If I could escape I would but, first of all, let me say
I must apologize for acting stank and treating you this way
?Cause I've been acting like sour milk all on the floor
It's your fault you didn't shut the refrigerator
Maybe that's the reason I've been acting so cold?If I could escape and recreate a place that's my own world
And I could be your favorite girl forever, perfectly together
Tell me boy now wouldn't that be sweet?
(The sweet escape)If I could be sweet
(Sorry boy)
I know I've been a real bad girl
(I'll try to change)
[All]:I didn't mean for you to get hurt whatsoever
We can make it better
Tell me boy now wouldn't that be sweet?
(Sweet escape, sweet escape)
[Santana]:I want to get away to our sweet escape
I want to get away, yeahYou held me down, I'm at my lowest boiling point
Come help me out, I need to get me out of this joint
Come on let's bounce, counting on you to turn me around
Instead of clowning around, let's look for some common groundSo baby, times get a little crazy
I've been getting a little lazy waiting on you to come save me
I can see that your angry by the way that you treat me
Hopefully you don't leave me, wanna take you with meIf I could escape and recreate a place that's my own world
And I could be your favorite girl forever, perfectly together
And tell me boy now wouldn't that be sweet?
[All]:(The sweet escape)If I could be sweet
(Sorry boy)
I know I've been a real bad girl
(I'll try to change)
I didn't mean for you to get hurt whatsoever
We can make it better
And tell me boy now wouldn't that be sweet?
(Sweet escape, sweet escape)
[Brittany]:If I could escape, if I could escape?Cause I've been acting like sour milk all on the floor
It's your fault you didn't shut the refrigerator
Maybe that's the reason I've been acting so cold?
If I could escape and recreate a place that's my own world
And I could be your favorite girl forever, perfectly together
And tell me boy now wouldn't that be sweet?

The girls erupted in laughter as they huffed for breath after their little performance.
"That was a bit random." Rachel admitted.
"We should sing that for our assignment for glee." Brittany thought out loud.
"That would be great." Rachel agreed, by now the laughter had died down and the girl sighed happily at the same time, erupting another round of laughter from the trio.
"Let's go on Facebook." Santana said as she stood up and started walking towards the house and up the stairs, Brittany and Santana following.
Rachel sat on the chair and logged onto her account, having about 20 notifications, she checked all of them, some comment from the cheerio's and the jock's. The last one caught Rachel's attention. Rachel doesn't remember adding her.
Quinn Fabray : Enjoy it while you can, manhands. I will be back on the squad and your fairytale life will turn to horrible again.
Puck 'Stud' Puckerman : go annoy someone else Fabray.
Quinn Fabray: Cant deal with the truth?
Mike Chang : I don't know about you, but If I were you I would shut that little trap of yours, click that pretty button 'x' and get the hell outta here. Rachel's with us. And she's gonna stay with us. DEAL WITH IT.
Quinn Fabray: No one asked you to comment.
Kurt Hummel : No one asked you to start this convo, but here we are.
Rachel, tottaly ignoring Quinn's try in hurting her, wrote her own comment.
Rachel Berry : Quinn, if you didn't slap me that day in the choir room, I would try to be friends. I wouldn't 'steal' your position and I would leave your friends alone. But I cant, because Sylvester didn't give me a choice for that matter and your friends didn't either. So leave me alone. I haven't done anything wrong.
She decided to leave it alone now and went to sit on her bed, letting Santana and Brittany surf the internet.
"We're not gonna block her. I'm gonna keep tabs on her." Santana announced.
"Ok." Rachel mumbled as she scanned through her music collection, picking up the 2001 version of The Calling.
She put it on, and her favorite song started playing, Santana and Brittany joining once in a while. Rachel sang the chorus.
If I could, then I wouldI'd go wherever you will goWay up high or down low, I'd go wherever you will goRun away with my heartRun away with my hopeRun away with my loveI know now, just quite howMy life and love might still go onIn your heart, in your mind I'll stay with you for all of timeIf I could, then I wouldI'd go wherever you will goWay up high or down low, I'd go wherever you will goIf I could turn back timeI'd go wherever you will goIf I could make you mineI'd go wherever you will goI'd go wherever you will go
"Your voice really suits this type of music, Rach." Brittany mused as she scanned her email.
"Actually, I like all types of music. Mild Rock and Pop are my favorite, but if I wanted to be on Broadway, then I had to learn more show choir. I got addicted." Rachel explained.
"Looks like there is more to it than we thought Berry. Let's start from the beginning shall we?" Santana asked Rachel, well more like demanded butshe didn't let that show.
The two girls sat down on the bed beside Rachel cross legged and waited for her to begin.
"I was born in California. I pretty much lived there all my life, I did every kind of dance I could think of. Street, Jazz, Hip Hop, Free Style, Ballet, Tap.. I did Judo too but quit when I found out it wouldn't really do much to my career. I lived for music and dance. Then my dads, at the age of 10 taught me everything about Broadway and show choir and everything and it all just sunk in and I got addicted to it. I lived it. Its been my dream to get at least and Emmy." Rachel explained why she loved Broadway so much.
"There is nothing bad with wanting things Rach. I should have understood you more." Santana said guiltily.
"So why didn't you try out for the cheerio's ,again?" The sweet blonde asked.
"Two words. Puck and Slushy." Rachel answered automatically, making Santana wince. The Latina still remembered telling Puck to slushy her.
"Who was your first kiss?" Santana asked randomly. Rachel smiled at that and said a name of the boy she would never forget.
"Jay Lazaro."
"Was he hot?" Brittany asked.
"Yes. He was so sweet and cute and nice. He was my first boyfriend. He was a year older than me but my dads loved him."
"What happened?" Santana asked, she knew Rachel wasn't telling them something. Rachel's day dreaming smile flew from her face quickly.
"He died in a car crash. Everything pretty much went down for me in Freshman year." Rachel mumbled. I'm not going to cry, I'm not. She thought over and over again.
"It's okay if you cry." Santana assured her.
"No. Its over, He's gone and I'm sick of mourning over the past. You guys are my future." Rachel said strongly as she rubbed at her eyes.
"Okay."
The girls laid down on the bed for a while, each having different thoughts. Rachel, thoughts were filled with Mike , mainly thinking how she was going to resist him. Santana's thoughts were about revenge, some were the positions of her and Puck from last night and others were the cheers she was thinking of. Brittany's thoughts were as always were filled with cute little animals, but mainly about making Rachel feel better.
All of a sudden Santana said something that made Rachel love her friends more ( If that was even possible)
"Someday everything will all make perfect sense, so for now, laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears, and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason." The Latina said timidly to her best friend. She loved Rachel, its easy as that. don't like it? Don't have to.
The three friends smiled at that and fell into deep thoughts again.
…..
I know, no Cherry in this chapter. Sorry. I really want to explore Rachel's relationships with every character, so that's why this chapter was all Pezberritana.
