Saturday nights were usually fun for Rachel Berry. It was a night for singing. For drinking. It was a real break from the real world. As crazy as her life had gotten, and as much as she had changed, the one thing she had held onto was singing. So, the nights when she got to sing in front of an adoring crowd were more fulfilling for her than anyone would ever know. This Saturday night was different. Instead of getting ready to go to the bar with Jade, she was sitting in her living room, with her friends, and girlfriend. Having a discussion with them, that she never in a million years would have thought she'd be having.
"Jonah, how long has this been going on", Quinn was asking.
"Too long."
"So, the night your brother picked her up from Smashed, can we assume that he hurt her somehow", asked Rachel.
"I dunno...she tells me she doesn't let him do that to her anymore...".
"Do you believe her", asked Quinn.
Jonah just shook his head.
"I'm confused", said Santana. Since the conversation had started, she really hadn't said much of anything. She was too upset, and didn't want her friends to know just how upset she really was."Puck and Rach, didn't you guys already know about this?"
"No way, I had no idea", said Puck.
"I didn't have any idea. I think I would remember hearing something like that about my best friend", said Rachel.
"Chill out, I wasn't saying you forgot. But, before when I brought up Jade and a certain...activity...you both told me I needed to be careful...", said Santana.
"Yeah, you guys did say that, didn't you', asked Quinn.
"I knew she had been raped before, but the fact that it was her brother was left out", said Rachel. Puck nodded his head in agreement.
"Oh, okay", said Santana.
"Well, what about what you said about her getting sick when he's around", asked Quinn, looking at Jonah.
"Yeah, and why the fuck is he even in the City, I thought he lived back in Lima at your parents house", said Puck.
"Most importantly, if you know about what he did, why do you let him anywhere near her", asked Santana.
"Holy shit", said Jonah, standing from the couch."You guys need to like give me minute here, please! I'm sorry that you had to find out this way, I'm sorry you had to find out at all! I swear, I'll explain whatever I can, the best I can but I can't handle you all comin' at me like this, not all at once! You gotta' let me fuckin' breathe for a few...I mean damn!"
"Sorry", said Puck.
"Yeah, sorry", said Santana.
"No, it's fine, I just...I can't do this right now", said Jonah, and he walked into the kitchen area.
"I didn't mean to make it sound like you're a bad brother to her. It's just a little confusing that's all. I don't get why you'd be okay with Jade being around him, knowing what he's done, or what he might do", said Santana, sympathetic like.
"She's sneaky. She never actually tells me when he is around. If and when I do find out, it's always too late. I suck...my bad...".
"No, don't say that Jonah. You don't suck...this is just a very complicated situation. We're all just a little blown away by it", said Quinn.
"That's exactly why you guys were never supposed to find out. Deep dark, high class family secrets are the worst, especially when you're on the wrong side of it",said Jonah, opening the refrigerator. He pulled out two beers.
"Do your parents know about this", asked Rachel.
"They're in denial", answered Jonah, walking over to Puck, and handing him a beer.
"What about your other sister, that bitch has to know", said Noah, bitterly.
"Puck...that's kinda' rude to say", said Quinn.
"No no no, Puck and my sister Nessa do not get a long, at all. He's right, she's a raging bitch. As far as I know, she knows, and just like my parents pretends like it never happened", said Jonah.
"Okay, than the issue is simple, now that we all know about it, what are we going to do about it", asked Rachel.
"Nothing."
They all looked towards the hallway to see Jade standing there. She was fully dressed, make up done, looking like she was ready to walk out the door.
"Jade...", said Santana.
"If you guys try to do anything, like call the police, or make a big deal out of it, nothing will come of it. Our parents know people, they know how to make things go away. That's one reason I didn't want anyone to know", said Jade, calmly. She was looking down at the floor. clearly ashamed.
"No way", said Rachel, standing up."This is ridiculous, there is not a chance in Hell we're letting you, let him, get away with that!"
"Rachel...you don't underst-"
"I understand, Jade! You're scared, and I don't blame you, but...are you fucking serious?"
"Rachel, chill the Hell out", snapped Santana.
Quinn was studying Rachel silently. She'd come to realize just how often Rachel got fired up on a daily basis, and she didn't like it at all. She didn't think it was healthy, especially not for Rachel given the state of mind she seemed to be in since she left Lima. Her protective instincts, although something to be proud of, were pretty intense, and Quinn wasn't sure how she was supposed to handle that.
"I think if you guys grew up around our house, you'd get it", said Jonah."In the Price family, secrets stay secrets, no matter how screwed up they are."
"Jonah, you're really gonna' sit there and say we should do nothing", asked Puck. Jonah just nodded his head."Wow."
As the rest of them sat there arguing, Santana looked over at Jade. She was leaning up against the wall, casually, but it was easy to see she was exhausted. She stood up and walked over to her, slowly."You okay", she asked, wrapping her arms around her waist. Jade smiled tiredly, and nodded. Santana glanced back at everyone else. They were still arguing, so she grabbed Jade's hand and took her back into her bedroom.
"Santana, I'm really okay...".
"Why are you dressed like you're going somewhere?"
"Because I'm going to Smashed...life goes on, I have to work tonight. With all the drama, I've been calling off, and making other people work for me. I have to stop doing that, my Dad found out and he's really pissed off at me."
"He's pissed about you getting sick, but not about his son forcing himself on his daughter?"
"Don't say things like that, please?"
"Jade...why are you letting him touch you like that", asked Santana, trying to soften her tone.
"I don't wanna' talk about it", said Jade, her eyes filling with tears.
"Okay, okay...I'm sorry, I just...wanna' protect you. You know I'm not letting him get near you anymore, right?"
Jade just smiled, and kissed Santana on the cheek. Santana lightly grasped her face, and planted a gentle kiss on her lips."You know I'd never hurt you like that, right?"
"Yes, ofcorse I know that."
"I know you don't wanna' talk about this, but...can you please just tell me one thing?"
Jade nodded slowly.
"When he picked you up from Smashed that night...did anything happen?"
Jade looked away, but shook her head.
"Sweetie...".
"Nothing happened."
Santana didn't believe it, but she decided not to push the issue. Even if she was able to keep Jade away from her brother, what could she say to her that would take the pain away?
Nothing.
"I'm going to the bar with you, I wanted a drink before, but now I need one. Do you have time to come home with me, so I can change my clothes?"
"I should meet you there, I needed to be there like yesterday..."
"Okay, let me rephrase that. I'm not letting you out of my sight, so you have to come home with me because I'm not going out, unless I can make myself look as cute as you do right now."
"I don't look cute", laughed Jade.
"Um, your eye shadow matches your shoe laces, your necklace charm is a tiny pair of headphones, and you smell like fucking magic. If that's not cute...nothing is. Just saying...".
Jade smiled, but her facial expression made it seem like she was about to cry.
"Awe, what is that face", asked Santana, pulling her as close as she could.
"You make me feel special", whispered Jade.
"You are special."
"I wasn't...not until you came into my life."
Santana smiled, and kissed her on the lips, softly. There was so much she loved about Jade, but above all of it, her scent. It probably didn't hurt that she spent the better part of everyday burning incense. However, whatever it was that she put on daily, Santana could breathe it in for the rest of her life. When their lips broke apart, to even her surprise, Santana had a few tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Why are you crying", asked Jade, wiping the tears away.
"I didn't think...I'd feel this way about anyone else, ever again. You do things to me..."
Jade just smiled a little.
"...the thought of anyone hurting you makes me crazy, and I'm scared."
"San, you don't have to be scared."
"Aren't you?"
"Always, but that's part of me", answered Jade, in almost a whisper. Santana closed her eyes, and let out a shaky sigh. Jade leaned forward, and lightly rubbed her lips on Santana's ear.
"I'll be scared...you be brave", she whispered, in a way that sent shivers down Santana's spine.
After Santana and Jade left, Puck and Jonah soon followed. They had all decided to talk about the situation later. Everybody was way too confused and annoyed, and wanted to go have some fun. Since Quinn had clothes on that she was fine going out in, she just had to wait while Rachel showered, and got dressed to leave. She was sitting on the bed, her mind filled with thoughts about all the drama of the day, when Rachel walked into the room in nothing but a towel. At first she didn't really pay much attention, she had seen Rachel in towels before. She'd even seen Jade in towels before, so lack of clothing around the apartment was nothing to blink an eye at. However, when Rachel dropped her towel on accident while trying to tie her hair up, Quinn's heart started pounding hard. Rachel's body was flawless. Sure, they had agreed to take things slow, but seeing Rachel naked had Quinn thinking one thing.
Screw that.
At first, Rachel was a little embarrassed that she had dropped the towel, but then she caught sight of Quinn. Eyes fixated on her chest, her cheeks a pinkish color. Grasping the bottom of her shirt, so hard her knuckles were turning white. Rachel smiled to herself.
"Quinn?"
"Hmmm", mumbled Quinn, still not looking away from Rachel's exposed body.
"It's not polite to stare...".
"Huh? Wait, what", stuttered Quinn, her head shooting up.
Rachel giggled, best down, and pulled the towel back around her.
"See something you like?"
"Sorry Rach...I just...I mean...Okay, wow. I'm not sorry. I'm more than just a little happy that your towel fell", she laughed.
"Oh yeah?"
"Definatley. If I wasn't sure by now that I like girls, that moment would have done all the deciding for me."
Rachel laughed, and walked over to the edge of the bed. Quinn sat up, and wrapped her arms around her waist.
"You are beautiful, inside and out", she said, looking up at her.
Rachel leaned down, and kissed Quinn. It wasn't until Quinn felt Rachel's tongue inside of her mouth, that she lost all control of her hands. She grabbed at the towel, and tugged on it, lightly. Rachel took the hint, and without breaking the kiss, she let the towel fall to the floor once again. Quinn reached up, grasped the back of Rachel's neck, and pulled her down so that she was straddling her. They both moaned a little at the contact.
"No fair...you're wearing too much clothing", said Rachel, in between the kissing. She took it upon herself to slowly unbutton Quinn's shirt. Once that was off, she leaned in, and kissed her neck, while reaching behind her to get her bra off. She pulled Quinn's skirt up, and shifted herself forward as she continued sucking on Quinn's neck, and jaw.
"Rachel...a-are you...oh my god...", Quinn breathed.
"Am I what?"
"Sure. Are you sure about this?"
"No...but, that's why it needs to happen."
Quinn caressed Rachel's back lightly with her fingertips, and started kissing her softly on her neck, and chest. She kissed lower, and lower until she face rested on her breast. She wasn't really sure what she was doing, but it didn't matter. She wanted to make love to Rachel. She needed to.
"Oh God...Quinn...that feels so good...", Rachel whispered.
The blond took that as a sign that she was doing okay so far. She took one of Rachel's nipples into her mouth, slowly and softly sucking it. Rachel's hips pushed forward, as she threw her head back, and moaned. Quinn used one hand to hold Rachel on her lap, and the other to play with the nipple that wasn't in her mouth. The sweet moans coming from Rachel were making Quinn so wet, she didn't know what to think. She could feel Rachel's heat rubbing against her thigh, and it was almost enough to put her over the edge.
"Quinn...oh my god...more...please...".
"Okay baby, but only because you said please...", said Quinn, as she moved one hands down between Rachel's legs. She rubbed her wet center a little, and went back to sucking one nipple.
"Mmmmm...", Rachel moaned."Please...don't tease me, Quinn...".
She sounded almost desperate, and Quinn could only assume that to anyone else, is was sexy. To her, it was a little sexy, but it also made her sad. She wanted to please Rachel, not tease her. She slowly pushed one finger into between Rachel's folds, and rubbed her clit.
"Is that better", she asked, lifting her head, and looking into Rachel's eyes. All Rachel could do was moan, and nod her head frantically. Quinn latched onto Rachel's jaw, and neck, as she pushed two fingers inside of her, and pumped slow, but hard. Rachel's hips jolted forward, and hit Quinn with such force, she almost fell onto her back. She started pumping a little faster, her breathing heavy, and forced. Rachel moaned non stop, digging her nails into Quinn's shoulders. Quinn couldn't help but start to push her hips up into Rachel, they were both getting so close.
"Oh Quinn...Quinn...don't stop...please d-don't stop...it feels so...so good...".
Fifteen minutes had passed, although to the two of them, it seemed like five. Quinn pumping, Rachel crying her name out, begging her not to stop. Both of them covered in sweat, breathing hard.
"I think I'm gonna'...oh god...Quinn", Rachel cried out, as she came all over Quinn's hand. Without even thinking, Quinn reached her climax too. She couldn't believe it, Rachel hadn't even touched her that. She wrapped both arms around Rachel, and held her as tight as she could as they both came down. After a few minutes, they were both laying down on the bed, holding each other, face to face.
"Quinn...that was honestly...the best I've ever felt."
"Really?"
"Really. Not that I love comparing you to him...but...you just took the horrible experience of me loosing my virginity, and...made it disappear."
Quinn smiled, and kissed Rachel on the forehead.
"That's the best I've ever felt too", she said.
"Why are you so perfect to me", asked Rachel.
"Because you're perfect to me, and you deserve it."
"I don't deserve you, Quinn."
"If you didn't...I wouldn't be here, telling you how much I love you, Rachel."
"You...love me?"
"With all my heart...you know that", said Quinn, wiping tears that had fallen from Rachel's eyes.
"Yes, but every time you tell me...it feels brand new", cried Rachel."I love you too."
By the time the two of them had gotten out of bed, gotten ready, and left for the bar, almost an hour had passed. They strolled into Smashed, hand in hand, to see a huge, very hyper crowd. Jade was up on the bar with a microphone in her hand, getting ready to sing. Jonah was in the DJ booth, headphones on, playing the music much louder than usual.
"Holy shit...", said Quinn.
"Uh-oh", said Rachel, shaking her head at Jade.
"What?"
"Well, she only gets up on the bar like this when she needs to release some energy. I guess this day has gotten to her", said Rachel, sadly. Quinn looked around at all the people cheering for Jade.
"Is that why everybody is so crazy right now?"
"Yup."
Jade-
There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around.
I swear that you could hear it,
It makes such an all mighty sound.
There's a drumming noise inside my head
that throws me to the ground.
I swear that you should hear it,
It makes such an all mighty sound!
Louder than sirens!
Louder than bells!
Sweeter than heaven!
And hotter than hell!
Quinn and Rachel made their way through the crowd, and found Santana sitting at the bar, with a drink in front of her. They sat down on either side her.
"How are you just sitting here with all this happening around her", hollered Quinn, over all the noise.
"She shouldn't be up there dancing around like that. If her doctor was here right now, she'd kick the shit out of her", answered Quinn.
"She'll be okay, it's only one song. She's done this many times before", hollered Rachel.
Santana just shook her head, and looked up at Jade, who was already looking down at her.
I ran to a tower where the church bells chime.
I hoped that they would clear my mind!
They left a ringing in my ear,
But that drum's beating loud and clear!
Louder than sirens!
Louder than bells!
Sweeter than heaven!
And hotter than hell!
Louder than sirens!
Louder than bells!
Sweeter than heaven!
And hotter than hell!
Santana couldn't help smile a little. The crowd was eating Jade's energy up.
As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
and gets louder and louder
it fills my head up and gets louder and louder
I run to the river and dive straight in
I pray that the water will drown out the din
But as the water fills my mouth
it couldn't wash the echoes out
But as the water fills my mouth
it couldn't wash the echoes out
I swallow the sound and it swallows me whole
Till there's nothing left inside my soul
As empty as that beating drum
But the sound has just begun
As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
and gets louder and louder
it fills my head up and gets louder and louder
Santana's eyes locked with Jade's, and for a minute it was only them in the entire bar. She caught Jade's scent as she moved closer to her, leaning down, singing right to her. It took every muscle in her body not to reach up, pull her down, and kiss her like she'd never kiss her again.
There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound
There's a drumming noise inside my head.
That starts when you're around.
I swear that you could hear it,
It makes such an all mighty sound.
Louder than sirens!
Louder than bells!
Sweeter than heaven!
And hotter than hell!
When the song ended, everybody cheered loudly. One of the other bartenders handed Jade a shot, which she gladly grabbed, and drank down. By the time she was assisted down from the counter top, Rachel and Quinn had drinks in front of them. She moved through all the people, and finally made it to them.
"Jade, that was pretty damn amazing, way to go, Hun", said Quinn.
"Thank you, Quinn."
"It's been a while since I've seen you up there...I'm pretty sure the bar top missed your feet", laughed Rachel. Jade smiled, and blew Rachel a kiss. Santana just shook her head at Jade.
"Awe, what", asked Jade, laughing a little.
"You know what...".
"I feel fine, and don't worry...I'm done for the night. I don't even have to get back behind the bar. I get to spend the rest of my night with you...", said Jade, sticking her bottom lip out.
"Uh-oh...puppy face...", said Quinn. Santana just smiled, and pulled Jade into a tight hug. After spending time drinking, and hanging out, Santana had to pee. It had been a great night so far. It was a great escape from all the drama that awaited the friends once they left the bar. She wandered away from everybody, and did her business. As she was exiting the bathroom, she caught a glimpse of Mercedes wheeling a familiar looking chair with wheels into back entrance. She was laughing at something Artie had just said.
"Oh no...", she mumbled to herself, and sure enough, right behind Mercedes, was Brittany Pierce.
"Oh Jesus...", said Santana, and she quickly made her way over to where Quinn, Rachel and Puck were sitting. She walked up behind Puck, and slapped him across the back of the head.
"Come on! What the Hell was that for", he asked, as she rounded the table.
"You were supposed to tell me when Brit and Artie were visiting here", she snapped.
A guilty look made it's way across Puck's face.
"Oh yeah...I'm sorry. Did I mention they were coming here tonight", he asked, squeezing his eyes shut, and preparing for another blow to the head.
"You are now at the very top of my shit list", snapped Santana, sitting down, and chugging what was left of her drink. She than grabbed Quinn's drink and took a few sips from that.
"Okay, calm down San, I know it's been a while since you've seen her, but what are you so worried about", asked Quinn, grabbing her drink back.
Mercedes wheeled Artie over to the bar, Brittany following close behind. Santana watched as Jade turned around, and started talking to to all of them. At one point she leaned down, hugged Artie, than stood up and hugged Brittany.
"Oh you have got to be fucking kidding me", said Santana, looking the both of them up and down.
"It was just a hug, relax", said Rachel.
"No, forget that. Do you see their outfits", asked Santana.
Rachel, Quinn and Puck all looked.
"What", asked Puck. Clearly he didn't understand.
"Same shoes, both wearing headbands, and necklaces", said Santana.
Quinn and Rachel stated to laugh a little bit.
"San, you really need to calm the Hell down...like seriously, you are reading way too much into this", said Quinn.
"Um...I'm gonna' go grab some more drinks. San...I'll grab you two...", said Puck, as he stood up, and rushed away.
"Santana, Jade's sneakers are black high tops, Brit's are gray and pink. Their necklaces aren't even close to being the same, and it's a total coincidence that they're both wearing headbands", said Rachel, as an attempt to snap Santana out of whatever universe her mind was currently in.
"You of all people would know about headbands...", joked Quinn.
"Shut up", said Rachel.
Santana wasn't really paying much attention to what her friends were saying. She knew their outfits weren't identical, but at the same time, they weren't that much different. It was as if her brain was trying to force her to compare her current girlfriend with the love of her life. A girl that looked just a beautiful as the last time Santana had seen her.
Santana watched as Brittany and Jade were talking and laughing with each other.
"Oh good, they're best friends", said Santana, sarcastically."I need a cigarette".
Just as she stood up, and turned to walk out the door, she heard her name being shouted from over by the bar.
"Santana! Oh my god, San!"
"Just relax...", she heard Quinn mumble.
She slowly turned just in time to be tackle hugged by Brittany.
"I was hoping I'd see you here", she squealed, hugging her tightly.
As Santana stood, trying to breathe through the tall blond's hug, she glanced over her shoulder. Her eyes landed on Jade, who was smiling so innocently back at her, it was almost heart breaking.
Son of a bitch.
The song that Jade sang was "Drumming Song" By: Florence + The Machine. Oh and by the way, whoever the readers are on here that talk to 'Jade"/ Emzee on Tumblr...keep it up because it makes her blush. She's always like "stop writing things about me' lol but she knows she adores it. Hope you guys liked this chapter! Please review! *high fives*
