Thank you so much for the reviews.
I do not own Glee.
"Everybody hide!" Brittany squealed covering her eyes and clamping a hand over her mouth.
Rachel smiled at her blond friend "It's okay Britt, Puck will just tell them to leave."
Puck got up storming over to the door and opened it and who should appear but the two cheerio bitches. "I don't remember inviting you two over." He snarls looking over the girls with disgust.
Santana smirks "It's a Glee party and we are members of the team."
"Yeah we are members!" Quinn giggles, clearly intoxicated.
"Are you two fucking drunk?" Sam shouts pulling the two girls in and glaring at them. "You guys can call a cab because you are not staying here."
Rachel wasn't really listening to what was going on behind her, she's just thinking. The girl remembers all of the names and how they absolutely tore into her. Manhands was the first and consequently the most innocent, back then they were only twelve. Rupaul was the worst of them and it had really torn the small girl up. "Daddy," She had asked when she arrived home after being called that terrible name "do I look like a man." Daddy had been quick to reassure her that she was so beautiful and that the other girls were just jealous but it still hurt. In high school things had been even worse and the girls became just that much harsher and she grew that much more insecure. These girls were terrible to her and was it so bad she didn't want them in her home.
"Rach, Rachel." She heard snapping her out of her very upsetting thoughts.
"What?" She asked as she saw Sam looking at her worriedly.
"You were definitely not listening to us for five minutes Rach. I just wanted to tell you that Quinn and Santana are here until the cab comes and Finn and Lauren are here now to."
Rachel looked up to in fact see the AV nerd and her ex-boyfriend. "Hey guys!" She waved though she couldn't quite make a smile appear on her face.
"Hey Rach," Finn smiled walking over to her and plopping down on the floor " I'm really sorry they showed."
The brunette shook her head and stood "I am sick of them." She stomped over to the girls sitting near the staircase with Puck and Mike watching them angrily.
"Hey Manhands!" Santana greeted drunkenly rolling her eyes and squiggling in her seat slightly.
"Shut up!" Rachel shouted bending down to meet Santana's eyes "You are a stupid whore and I want you out right now."
"Best party ever!" Lauren cheered munching on popcorn.
Quinn stood up on shaky legs glaring at Rachel "Rachel you are the one that's the whore, three boyfriends in a year."
"Because I am better than you ever think that!"
"Your just an ugly-"
"I'll be in my room." She announced to the room before turning on her heel and stomping up to her bedroom with Kurt and Blaine quick on her tail.
"I hate them." Kurt told Rachel pulling his friend in for a hug.
"I totally hate them too." Blaine said in a girlish squeal trying to cheer Rachel up.
Rachel smiled at her two friends "I am fine. I just don't want to be around those two for any amount of time."
Blaine shared a quick look with Kurt before plopping down onto Rachel's fluffy pink bed "I have a grand surprise for you my darling.I was going to tell you next week but... My parents have an apartment in Manhattan and they are going during winter break and they are taking the three of us."
Rachel squealed before launching herself into Blaine's lap and wrapping her good arm around his neck. "I love you. I love you."
"Rachie get off my boyfriend." Kurt pouted before wrapping his arms around the pair and effectively creating a group hug.
Rachel was so excited she could barely stand it she was bouncing up and down and squealing. Traveling to New York was nothing new to the diva her fathers had taken her many times, but she had never been with friends. "We have to go see Wicked."
"And Next to Normal." Kurt added bouncing in the same manner she was.
"And Mama Mia." Blaine added joining into the jumping.
"Will you marry me?" Rachel asked her eyes wide and dreamy as she slipped her hand into the handsome young man's.
Blaine thought about it before he answered "Can I mess around with Kurt on the side?"
"Of course you can as long as I can kiss Noah."
Kurt laughed at the two of them "Nerds."
Blaine kissed his boyfriend's cheek before picking Rachel up and carrying her down the stairs "We'll get you a ring tomorrow." Thankfully the boy didn't see the two bullies so they walked all the way down.
"What about a ring?" Tina asked amused at the sight before her.
Rachel smiled while Blaine placed her on her feet and winked at her "Rachel and I are so alike that we've decided to embark on a relationship." The boy was a great actor and everyone's jaws dropped except for Brittany who smiled innocently.
"Why are you guys going to climb a tree?" The ditzy blonde asked curious as to why she wasn't invited.
Rachel smiled at her "Blaine and I are now officially boyfriend and girlfriend. It only took three weeks for him to build up his courage but now we are so happy." She kissed his cheek and smiled up at him.
"What?" Noah shouted looking between the pair with narrowed eyes "You guys are joking." He stated sadly.
The couple smirked "Of course we aren't I love Rachel and I love Kurt so one week Kurt gets me and the next Rachel does."
Finn barked out a laugh "Dude I know my brother and he wouldn't go for that."
Kurt grinned "I would because Rachel and I can mess around too." He kissed Rachel chastely on he lips. Now lets get back to our rousing game of monopoly."
Puck was wearing a dangerous expression before he grabbed Rachel around the waist and growled "Mine."
"Let me be your Rachel." Lauren practically moaned as she crunched down on pretzels.
"You know Rachel and Blaine do look really cute together." Mercedes said seriously.
"So adorable." Tina added.
"Shut up you guys Rachel is mine." Puck growled again hugging the little brunette tightly.
Break went well for Puck he got to spend a lot of time with his girl and his group had even talked Blaine and Kurt into returning to Mckinley which they would be doing was extremely happy that Rachel let him see her vulnerable side.
"Rachel if anyone bothers you..." Puck said softly in his truck on the couples way to school.
Rachel squeezed his hand gently "I'll be fine. Sam and I have nearly every class together."
"You stay near him alright." Puck told her having a terrible image of the Cheerios pushing her down the flight of stairs and Rachel getting amnesia and forgetting him.
Rachel rolled her eyes but agreed, if anything to placate her new boyfriend.
"Rachel!" Brittany chirped wrapping her arms around Rachel and picking her up off the ground twirling her around.
"Hi Britt," Rachel smiled at her childish friend. "how are you doing?"
"Good." She told her intertwining their hands and leading Rachel to her locker.
Rachel understood why Brittany was attaching herself to her, she hadn't talked to Santana or Quinn since the entire accident. "Come on Britt let's get to class."
Walking into the class Rachel was stopped by Quinn in the hallway. Rachel turned to Brittany "Britt go sit down and save me and Sam a seat alright?"
Brittany stood her ground and shook her head "No Quinn will be mean to you and I don't want you hurt."
Rachel rolled her eyes but silently awed on the inside. Brittany really was a very sweet girl even if she was a little slow. "What do you want Quinn?"
"To apologize." The blond beauty told her looking down at her stark white tennis shoes "I'm really sorry about everything. I never mean to hurt you so badly." That was a lie and Quinn knew it. Ever since kindergarten Quinn had been angry that Rachel Berry was so sure of herself, so sure she would be a star. At only five years old Quinn wanted to destroy that vibrant little girl's life and so she did, but know it all seemed worthless. "I am truly sorry."
Rachel was smart and she knew Quinn wasn't telling the truth. The one thing that Rachel new was that the blonde always needed to be in the center of attention and if she wasn't it made her angry. Now the girl was on the outside of the Glee club and her ego wouldn't allow that. "Thanks Quinn." She said before grabbing Brittany's hand and grabbing a place next to Sam.
"What did she want?" He asked venomously.
"Did you sneak in here when I was talking to her." Rachel asked thinking how strange it was he was in his seat early.
Sam frowned deeply before placing his hand on top of the girls "Don't avoid the question."
Rachel shook her head "I can deal with her on my own."
Sam frowned deeply Rachel was never going to let people help her. "Rachel you have friends now. We want to help you."
"Sam just please let it go." Rachel begged her eyes wide and pleading she didn't want to discuss this any longer. Sam didn't push her but he was going to get her to admit that she needed help sometimes.
Rachel did something she had never done before on that first day back to school. She skipped class which was completely foreign to her, she never did that. The whole day had been overwhelming with people hovering and others giving her snide remarks she needed to see one person and that one person was Frederick. Since the accident she had felt strangely and she just needed time with someone who didn't know her to well.
"So you wanted to meet at the place that I hit you?" The young man asked looking around at the now bare and deserted Christmas tree lot.
The brunette shrugged her shoulders and pulled her plaid coat just a bit closer "I just wanted to talk to a friend who can't read my emotions."
"I get that everybody knows how you feel and why right?"
"Exactly."
"I bet this is the first time you've cut class?"
"How would you know that, are you psychic because I myself have a sixth sense and-"
Frederick laughed and put out a hand to stop her "You talk way too much and often."
Rachel blushed and looked down at her feet "To answer your question this is the first time I've skipped."
"Yes would have been enough."
Doing something completely out of character Rachel picked up snow and threw it in Frederick's face "Was that too many words for you?" She asked innocently fluttering her eyelashes.
"I'll show you ." Frederick smirked grabbing his own snow and throwing it at the diva.
The two teens had fun, both lost in their own little world. They didn't need each other, they just wanted company. The two teens just wanted someone that didn't know what made them tick or how they put on show faces. This was to be a beautiful friendship.
