I felt like I owed you guys, plus I'm in a Glee wedding this weekend, and I was feeling in the spirit. The wedding party is preforming "Marry You", just like in "Furt"...and I'm lucky enough to be singing Rachel's part. No, my voice is nothing like Lea's but, I'm the same height as her, so I guess it works out lol. I'm not really sure how much time I'll have to update because I'll be busy, so that's another reason why this chapter is so full. Also, this is another one of those updates where the clothing is important. You know the drill, with the links below, add the h before the ttp and take out the spaces after the periods. Please enjoy this chapter, and seriously keep the amazing reviews coming because as I've said hundreds of times before, your feedback keeps me going. I love love love you all so much, and thank lots for reading my story. Those of you talking to Emzee(Jade) on her Twitter and Tumblr...that is awesome, making her blush is so fun. She's in the wedding too this weekend, and you want to know something funny? She's preforming Brittany's part. Ha! I think it's hilarious!

"You are being really fucking ridiculous', Quinn yelled at her best friend, as the two of them were walking into their apartment. They had just gotten back from shopping, with Brittany, and needed to get ready to go. However, fighting seemed to be the main priority at he moment. " I am actually like really disgusted by your behavior about this whole thing", Quinn continued as she tossed her bags onto the couch.
"Q, you need to get off my ass about this, I'm really sick of hearing it", Santana, yelled back, throwing her shopping bags onto the floor.
"You're sick of hearing it? Really? Than, here's a an idea! Fucking do something about it! You are being so unfair!"
"To who?"
"Both of them! Brit, and Jade! Especially Jade! Do you even realize that your reason for not talking to Jade doesn't make any sense at all?"
Santana just shook her head, and walked into the kitchen. Quinn had been yelling, and bitching, and lecturing since they had gone their separate way from Brittany. She was so tired of it, and above all didn't want to hear anymore. She knew she needed to, but that didn't make it any easier to listen to. Quinn was right, but the Latina just wasn't ready admit it yet. She rolled her eyes as she heard her friend following her into the kitchen.
God, leave me the fuck alone...
"You were all mad at her, because Brit and her got along, do you have any idea how stupid that is? You got all pissy with Jade, and ignored her all because B and Artie went over there for lunch! And, while we're on the subject of Artie, what you said about him today was really messed up!"
"Oh my God, I used to make jokes about his wheelchair all the time in school, and he never usually had a problem with it, so don't even start with me about that", snapped Santana.
"No S, he didn't have a problem, but you know who did", asked Quinn, placing her hands on her hips."B had a problem with it, she didn't like it when you did that. So, there she was all upset today, because he went back to Los Angeles, and what do you do? You crack some tasteless joke about how he should just wheeled back there! Did you see the look on her face when you said that", asked Quinn.
"Stop it", said Santana, almost breaking into tears."I fucking get it, Q!"
"Do you?"
"Yeah! I already felt bad about that, okay? It's still really fucking awkward for me to be around her, and I get nervous! I didn't mean to upset her, believe me, I didn't!"
"You were her best friend before she was your girlfriend, so you shouldn't be getting nervous around her at all", said Quinn, as calmly as she could. Although the conversation was loosing it's angry flare, she was still a little frustrated. She sat down at the kitchen table, and sighed. Santana cleared her head, and sat down in the chair across from her.
"Look. I've already told you...I know I'm being an unfair bitch about this whole situation. I knew it from the very start, but the longer I do that...the more time I have to figure out what I really want."
"I understand, but I don't think you're giving yourself, or Jade, a real chance. I mean, has Brittany even said anything to you about wanting to be with you", asked Quinn. Santana just shook her head, sadly."Alright, so to me, that means she just wants her friendship with you. Can't you just be happy with that?"
"Do you really think I can handle that", asked Santana.
"Yes, I do. I also think you can handle Jade and Brit being friends with each other."
"Fuck that", said Santana, standing up, and wandering a few steps away.
"S, seriously it wouldn't be the end of the world. You cannot do that to them, they get a long so well."
"Who's to say, even if I told them I didn't want them to be friends, they'd listen to me", asked Santana, as she sat back down. Quinn just gave her a look. A look as if she was saying; are you really asking me that right now? "What", asked Santana.
"I don't know about you, but out of all the people I know, those two are the most understanding. They would stop being friends, because they both adore the Hell out of you. Only, they wouldn't be happy about it. Brit would be all sad, Jade would pretend not to be sad, and you know that."
"Fuck", growled Santana."I do really like Jade...more than I ever thought I could. I just...I really really missed my Britts", she said, looking down.
"I know you did, but she's here now. You have to try, Santana. You have to try to be her friend, and you have to try and let the two of them be friends. You among lots of people should understand, that you can't choose who you have feelings for. Even if those feelings are ones of friendship, it's not easy. Besides, they are so adorable to watch, you can't deny that", laughed Quinn. Santana let a smile emerge from her sadness, and she nodded.
"Alright, well we need to meet B in about two hours, so lets go get ready...Superman", said Quinn, winking at her friend.
"Yeah let's, Captain America", said Santana, as the two of them stood up and headed into the living room."Hey, I thought you said Rachel picked Green Lantern for you. Why'd you buy a Captain America shirt?"
"I couldn't find a girl's Green Lantern t-shirt and even the men's small was big. So, I texted her, and her second choice was Captain America." Santana just started laughing, almost hysterically."What's so funny", asked the blond, as she gathered shopping bags from the ground.
"You, and the fact that Rachel already has you whipped like a fucking ice cream sundae topping!"
"Oh shut up, I seem to remember somebody else being whipped by a certain tall, blond dancer", defended Quinn.
"Oh, I was not that bad!"
"Right, whatever you say", snorted Quinn, sarcastically.
they parted ways, to shower, and get ready for their night now. Both feeling a real sense of relief that they had stifled their fighting, and managed to just talk. Little did the two of them, or anyone else know just how much more fighting would occur that night.
Jade, who was sitting on her bedroom floor next to her bed, was confused. As usual, she wasn't sure if she was imagining things, or if something or somebody was involved with her discovery. She was looking for her Batman slippers, under her bed, when she noticed something. Her little black box of secrets wasn't locked. It looked like somebody had tried to lock it, but didn't push it in all the way.
Did I forget to lock this last time I...no...I did. Didn't I?
She reached over, and checked for the key. Sure enough, it was tapped right under her bedside table, as it always was. She shrugged, locked the box, and put everything back where it was supposed to be. After finding her slippers, she sat down on her bed to complete her outfit. There was a knock on the door, but before she even said anything, Puck came inside.
"Hey, you know those Batman bracelets you bought for us", he asked.
"Uh huh, they're right over there on my desk", said Jade.
"Alright, cool", he said, heading for the desk. He glanced at Jade, and shook his head."You're really wearing slippers instead of regular shoes?"
"Well sure, why not? My feet will be nice and toasty warm all night", giggled Jade.
"True, they will be", he said, putting his bracelet on."So, I guess Santana's gonna' be there. I bet you'll be happy to see her."
"If she's happy to see me, I'll be happy to see her", said Jade, plainly.
"Oh, stop. You miss her", said Jonah, as she walked into the room.
"Maybe", giggled Jade.
Jonah laughed, and went to grab his bracelet from Jade's desk. As he put it on, he looked Puck up and down."Dude...you're wearing the same shorts as me", he exclaimed.
"I know, we bought them at the same time, remember", defended Puck.
"No, I bought mine first, you saw them, and went to get them, because you're a damn copy cat!"
"Whatever man, you always think I copy you", laughed Puck.
"Um, that's because you do!"
Jade, as humorous as their argument was, was ready to go, so she grabbed Rachel's Batman bracelet, and wandered across the hall. She opened Rachel's door, and froze. There she was, trying to open a band-aid, mumbling under her breath about how difficult it seemed to be. However, Jade's attention was on the bright red cut that was on Rachel's arm. It wasn't uneven, or dotty like a accidental scratch would be. Out of anyone living in that apartment, Jade would be the only one of them to know what a self inflicted wound looked like.
"R-Rachel...", she said, in almost a whisper. Rachel looked up like a deer caught in headlights."What did you do", she asked, sadly. She shut the door behind her, and moved towards the smaller girl.
"Shit...okay, Jade...don't freak out. It was the first time I ever did it, and probably the last. I'm sorry that I broke into your box...I just needed some sort of relief, and I saw you do this before, so I just wanted to try it. I wanted to know what it felt like. Please don't be mad at me, please", she rambled. During her mini rant, Jade had sat down next to her. She lifted Rachel's arm and looked at the cut.
"I'm not mad at her Rea Rea, it's alright. I just...wish you would have talked to me before you did it. How did it make you feel?"
"Better...", said Rachel, looking down. For some reason she felt shame for admitting that. Although, given who she was admitting it to, it was wasted shame. Jade on the other hand was conflicted. She hated that Rachel had done what she did, but at the same time she was somewhat happy. She knew just how good cutting felt, and how much pain it could release. She was happy to hear that Rachel didn't plan on doing it anymore, but wasn't sure if she believed her or not. After all, she told herself that she would only do it once. That had been when she was thirteen years old. Now here she was, nineteen years old, and still hiding razor blades under her bed.
"Well, I can't tell you not to do it. That would make me a pretty big hypocrite. Just...try not to make it a habit", said Jade, pulling her friend into cuddle.
"Is it a habit for you", asked Rachel.
"Kind of. I don't do it as much as I used to, but...it's something I probably never should have started doing. Please, don't mention this to anyone, because as of right now you are only the second person who knows that I do it", said Jade.
"Who else knows? Jonah?"
"No. Alyson."
"Will you please keep mine a secret too? I won't do it again, but I really don't want anyone to know about even just the one. Especially not Quinn."
"I promise, I won't say anything", said Jade, with a smile.
"I promise too. Thank you, Jade", said Rachel, kissing her best friend on the cheek.
"You're welcome, Rea Rea, I love you bunches. Here's your bracelet, now let's get going. I think we're already late", said Jade, jumping up. She handed Rachel her Batman bracelet, and happily skipped out of the room, tripping, and almost falling in the process. Rachel giggled at her friend's clumsiness, and hurried to get her things together.
As Quinn, Santana, and Brittany approached the club that night, Bruno, the bouncer, smiled.
"Well, well, well, I was wondering when you guys would show up. San, there's people in here who haven't cried yet tonight, I'm sure you'll get right on that", he laughed.
"You knows it baby", said Santana, giving him a high five.
"Alright, well you guys pass the entrance test. Nice hero shirts, although I probably would have let you guys in without them", he laughed.
"Awe, so sweet Bruno, thank you", said Quinn, digging around in her purse.
"What are you up to, you know you don't have to pay", he said.
"Yeah, we never do, which is the point. We're already drinking for free, the least we can do is pay the entrance fee once in a while", said Quinn, handing Bruno three five dollar bills. He shook his head, and took the money from her. He then looked over at Brittany, who was fidgeting with her shirt."Who's this", he asked.
"This is Britts, she's been here once before, don't you remember", asked Santana.
"You know, you'd think a brother would remember seeing an angel like that, but I don't. It's nice to meet you", he said, extending his hand.
"You too", she said, shaking his hand.
"Okay, well your buddies await, so go on in. Shit, you know you three could have pulled off showing up as Charlies Angels. You are one damn good lookin' trinity."
"That's the Unholy Trinity to you, Bruno", said Santana, and they all laughed as they headed inside.
As usual, the place was packed, only this time, every single person in the place had on either a superhero shirt, or a full costume. All the employees, as promised, were dressed in Batman gear. Including all five members, of Jade's band. As soon as the three girls got to the bar, Santana put her attention on the stage. Jade's band was setting up to play, and she smiled. Jade was messing around with the microphone, while Alyson was talking to her about something.
"Oh my god, Jade looks so cute! She even has on Batman slippers", squealed Brittany.
"I dunno' I think for once, Rachel has Jade beaten on the cuteness scale. Check that out", laughed Santana, pointing down the bar.
"Oh my God", said Quinn, looking at her girlfriend. Rachel's outfit was adorable, and obviously picked and put together by Jade, however it wasn't just the outfit that made her stand out. It was the Batman, baseball cap that she had on. It was slightly big on her, and she had to look almost straight up in order to look at customers while trying to take their drink orders.
"Aweee", said Brittany, clapping her hands, happily.
"Q, you needs to tell your girl that hat is too big for her little head", laughed Santana.
"Yeah, yeah I'm on it", said Quinn, as she wandered away. She waited until Rachel was done serving a customer before she leaned over the bar, and smiled wide.
"Hey you ."
"Oh, yay! You're finally here! Hi", said Rachel, standing on her tip toes, and kissing the blond over the bar counter.
"Rach, you're hat...it's a little big, don't you think", laughed Quinn.
"I know that", huffed Rachel, crossing her arms."But, it goes with my outfit."
"You can barely see anything."
Rachel was about to say something back, when Puck walked over, put his hand on her hat, and rotated it. The rim was just slightly on the side of Rachel's head, and she could see just fine.
"Problem solved", he said, walking away.
"Oh, well there we are. Not an issue anymore", said Rachel, and Quinn just laughed. The crowed roared a little when Jade finally started singing her song into the microphone.
Jade-
I'm not quite myself these days
Guess we all come undone time to time in different ways
Well, I have myself to blame.
Guess I don't understand, I need help in many ways.
When the music break came, Alyson played the guitar melody like it was her dying day, and the crowd really seemed to be impressed.
"Whoa, she's really good", said Brittany.
"Big things come in small packages, I guess", laughed Santana.
"We already knew that, didn't we", said Brittany, pointing to Rachel.
"Yeah, wow they are kinda' the same height, aren't they", answered the Latina, looking back and forth between the two.
Jade-
God's got a plan for me
Well, I'm gonna tell you one thing:
I don't got the patience or the time!
What can I say?
I'm no angel,
I'm not forsaken,
But I can bleed!
Tear me open
I believe
God will send you all to bleed!
And no one can deceive
What is meant to be
And "Bloody Murder"
We will scream!
As the crowd jumped around, and cheered the band on, Rachel stood there and watched. All the other bartenders were handling the thirsty customers, so she opted to stay near Quinn. However, she hadn't noticed her girlfriend looking at her arm.
"Hey, why are you wearing a spongebob band aid", she asked, running her finger lightly across it.
"Oh, I broke a glass the other night, and when I was picking up the pieces, I cut myself. These were the only band aids in the bathroom", she laughed.
"Awe, well be more careful next time, baby", cooed Quinn, lifting the brunette's arm, and kissing it. Rachel just smiled.
Guess all the acting lessons paid off in some way.
After Jade's band finished three more songs, they took a break, and Jonah did his things from the DJ booth. Jade hurried over to greet her friends. As she was trying to make her way through the crowd she started to feel a little dizzy.
No, no no...not now.
She stopped for a minute, grabbing onto the back of a chair. She closed her eyes, and just took a few deep breathes. Thinking it wasn't going to work, she oped her eyes a few seconds later, and to her surprise the feeling was gone.
Thank God.
She kept walking, and finally got to where Santana and Brittany were sitting.
"Hey beautiful girls", she said, and they both spun around.
"Jade! Hi", said Brittany, throwing her arms around the slightly shorter girl."I'm so happy to see you, your band is amazing!"
"Awe, thanks Brit, I'm happy you came", said Jade, as the hug broke. She looked at Santana, who was already looking at her, with a shy smile on her face.
"Hey", she said.
"Hi", said Jade, nervously.
"Um...can we go talk for minute, please?"
"Yeah, sure."
"Okay, B...can you order me another drink? We'll be right back", said Santana, standing up.
Brittany nodded, happily. A few minutes later, Santana was following Jade into the back office. Once she had shut the door, Santana looked Jade up and down. She looked so cute in her Batman attire, it was almost unbearable. Jade noticed she was staring at her, and a confused look made it's way across her face.
"Is there something on me or something", she asked, cluselessly, as she looked down at her shirt. Santana smiled, shook her head, and moved in. She wrapped her arms around the girl, and kissed her hard, on lips."Mmmmm", she moaned. She hadn't realized just how much she really had missed Jade in the passed couple days. Jade on the other hand was absolutely blown away. The kiss broke moments later, only because they needed air.
"Oh my God..", breathed Jade."What was that for?"
"For you."
"San...I...".
"No, don't say anything. Please...just listen, okay?"
Jade nodded.
"I'm a horrible bitch, and you know this. Don't tell me I'm not, because it's pretty clear to anyone that's ever come into contact with me, that I am. You don't deserve that from me. You are the last person that deserves that from anyone, much less me, and I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ignore you, I swear...I just...needed time to figure some things out."
"I kinda' knew that San, that's why I didn't call or anything. I wanted to leave you alone."
"Well, the thing is, I wasn't sure if I could handle you and Brittany being friends."
"If you don't want me to be friends with her...I wo-"
"Don't you dare finish that sentence. It might be kind of hard at first, but...I don't mind. I really don't" ,said Santana, sincerely.
"Are you sure?"
"I can handle it, sweetness."
Jade smiled. Santana melted a little at the sight. Jade's smiled was beautiful. She leaned in, and kissed her softly. After ten minutes of kissing, and mumbling about how much they missed each other, they returned to the bar, holding hands.
"That's more like it", said Quinn, as they walked by. Santana just smiled and rolled her eyes.
After a while, it was Rachel's turn to sing with Jade's band. Once on stage, she felt a lot better than she had since her run in with Jesse. It had been on her mind since that very morning, but feeling the stage under her feet just took it away for the time being. She grabbed the microphone, and cleared her throat.
"Hi everybody", she said into it."How are you guys doing tonight?"
The crowd responded in their own way.
"Good to hear, I'm so proud of everybody for showing up in their Superhero clothing, you all look amazing. I think I even saw one guy wearing nothing but red tube socks, and gold speedo underwear", she laughed. That very guy stepped up onto a table, and started cheering. Everybody laughed, and cheered along with him."There he is! I'm sure Iron Man would be proud! I know I am, gold used to be one of my favorite colors."
"Used to be", asked Quinn, looking at Jade.
"Yeah, haven't you noticed? She kinda' likes every other color but gold now", answered Jade, sadly. Quinn just shook her head. It was then she decided that she really needed to sit down, and make a list of all the things that had changed about the girl she loved. How it would help, she wasn't sure but she felt like it needed to be done. She had already mentally listed at least seven things while standing there. Once Rachel was done talking to the crowd, the music began, and she started to sing.
Rachel-
You were my conscience, so solid, now you're like water
And we started drowning, not like we'd sink any further
But I let my heart go, it's somewhere down at the bottom
But I'll get a new one and come back for the hope that you've stolen.
I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world
From turning into a monster and eating us alive
Don't you ever wonder how we survive?
Well now that you're gone, the world is ours!
Quinn, Santana, and Brittany were almost mesmerized by Rachel's performance. Yes, they'd heard the girl sing. Hell, they had heard the girl sing more than they'd heard her speak, which was really saying something. They had even heard her belt out a Paramore song before, but this was different. The song had more of a rock feel to it, and it just didn't seem like a Rachel song. It wasn't that they didn't like her performance, she did handle the song very well. They were, however, a little bothered. Especially Quinn. She wanted Rachel to be up there singing a show tune. It didn't matter that it was a bar, the regulars loved Rachel, and would most likely listen to her sing, even if she was on stage singing a commercial jingle.
Rachel-
I'm only human, I've got a skeleton in me
But I'm not the villain, despite what you're always preaching.
Call me a traitor, I'm just collecting your victims
And they're getting stronger
I hear them calling.
I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world
From turning into a monster, and eating us alive
Don't you ever wonder how we survive?
Well now that you're gone, the world is ours
Well you find your strength in solution
But I liked the tension
And not always knowing the answers
But you're gonna lose it, you're gonna lose it
I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world
From turning into a monster, and eating us alive
Don't you ever wonder how we survive?
Well now that you're gone, the world...
I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world
From turning into a monster, eating us alive
Don't you ever wonder how we survive?
Now that you're gone, the world is ours.
As Rachel's song ended, and she went onto the sing the next one, Jonah decided to go outside and get some air. He had been standing out there for about ten minutes, talking to Bruno, when a bright red mustang pulled up, and parked right in front of the building.
"Oh, you have got to be fucking kidding me", said Jonah.
Sure enough, his older brother, Mika got out of the driver's sear, and smiled at him. Jonah was about to scream at him, until he saw who got out of the passenger's seat.
Jesse St. James.
The both of them were wearing really nice looking suits, as if they had just come from a dinner party. For some reason, it pissed Jonah off more than anything.
"I got your back, man", mumbled Jonah, noticing how angry Jonah was all of the sudden.
"Well well, what's goin' on little brother, you look sweet! I am lovin' the Batman attire", said Mika. His tone was so condescending, it was making Jonah sick. Not to mention the disturbing smiles, both him and Jesse had on their faces.
"I don't know what the Hell you guys think you're doin' here, and I really don't give a shit, you need to leave. Now", growled Jonah, taking a few steps forward.
"Oh, come on now is that any way to treat your big brother", laughed Mika, leaning up against his car.
"Go fuck yourself", snapped Jonah.
Bruno couldn't help but be somewhat amused by what he was looking at. Jonah dressed in all sorts of Batman attire. Mika and Jesse looking like a couple of high class super villains. It was all too perfect, and Bruno loved it, but he kept his laughter, and his thoughts to himself.
Go for the victory, Batman...
"Where's Rachel", asked Jesse, as if he actually expected Jonah to just walk right inside, and being the girl out to him.
"Really, St James", he asked, half laughing."I know you fucked with on the subway today, so if I were you, I'd back the Hell off!"
"Bro, this man misses his wife. Rachel clearly had something to do with her magically disappearing into thin air, so with all do respect...I think you better go get the little bitch", said Mika. Hearing his brother call Rachel that lit a fire inside Jonah, and he went at him, only to be held back by Bruno.
"Respect nothing you twisted mother fucker! Neither of you are getting anywhere near my girls, you hear me", he yelled, fighting Bruno's hold on him.
"Yeah, we'll see about that. See, unlike you Jada treats me good, she has respect for her older siblings. She'll let me in", Mika laughed, taking his phone from his jacket pocket. Jonah was infuriated. Not only had he forgotten that Mika and Jesse were friends, he couldn't believe either of them had the audacity to show their faces at that bar."See little brother", continued Mika, as he finished sending a text message."You've been away from home a little too long, and seem to have forgotten your place in the family." He walked up to Jonah, with a look of confidence on his face."I'm older, and Daddy loves me more, therefore you do what I tell you to do, or I beat the living shit out of you and your man here."
Bruno just laughed a little, while holding Jonah back.
"Screw you", spat Jonah.
"No thanks, I think I'll save that for Jada", said Mika, softly.
That did it.
"Her name is Jade", yelled Jonah, and with all the strength he had, he broke free from Bruno, and charged at his brother. He was seconds away from punching him, when the face of is little sister appeared in front of him.
"Jonah, stop!"
He came to a quick halt, his nerves on end from almost having pelted his sister in the face.
"There you are...damn, you lookin' like Batman too. Where was my invite, I got some Batman clothes in my wardrobe", laughed Mika. His attitude was disgusting. Neither Jonah, or Jade could understand how he could act the way he was considering the circumstances.
"What the fuck are you doing? Why are you protecting this piece of shit", spat Jonah, at his sister.
"You are not going to jail tonight, do you hear me", asked Jade, standing her ground in front of Mika.
"Oh my God", growled Jonah, loudly, as he started angrily pacing back and forth."Get him the fuck out of here, now!"
Jade turned to say something to Mika, but she noticed Jesse standing casually against Mika's car. She couldn't even form words, she was suddenly so angry. Without even thinking she charged at him, and punched him square in the stomach.
"Oh you little whore", said Mika, and he grabbed her from behind, and pulled her away from Jesse.
"Don't you fucking touch her", screamed Jonah, and he grabbed onto Mika. Jade managed to break free from Mika, and Jonah tackled him onto the ground and punched him in the face. He than grabbed him by the shirt color, and leaned in close."If you ever touch her again, I'll slice your fucking throat open, you hear me", he growled. Mika just laughed."Get off me Jonah...".
Jade wanted to go after Jesse again, and she would have, had she not gotten so dizzy, she fell to her hands and knees on the sidewalk. What nobody had seemed to notice is that Bruno had disappeared for a few minutes. When he came back outside, Puck and a few other male employees were following him. The minute Puck saw Jesse, doubled over in pain by the car, he went for him.
"Noah, don't", snapped Jade, from the ground."Don't touch him, he's not worth it!"
Puck took a few more steps forward, but actually kept his hands to himself. He shook his head, but went back to help the other guys get Jonah off of Mika. Once they got him up, Puck went to get Jade up from the ground.
"No..no...don't touch me...please...I'm fine...just don't touch me", she cried. Puck didn't lift her up, but he stayed kneeling on the ground next to her, and kept his hand on her back.
Mika was about to say something when in a flash, a head of blond hair flew passed him. Before anyone had a chance to react, Quinn had Jesse by the back of his head, and she was slamming his face into the roof of Mika's car.
"How dare you", she screamed, angrily, as he fell onto the ground."How dare you ever lay your hands on her!"
She kicked him in the stomach, and was all too happy to hear him scream out in pain.
"You don't touch her! You don't' ever touch her or come near her again, or I will fucking kill you! Do you hear me you son of a bitch", she screamed, almost animalistic like. Her tone was scary, and there was fire in her eyes that had yet to be seen. She was about to kick him again, when four familiar arms grabbed her from behind, and pulled her back.
"Quinn, calm down...I know it's hard but you need to calm down", said Brittany, into Quinn's right ear.
"Q...it's okay, you got him, alright? You got him good, baby", said Santana, who was on Quinn's left.
"I fucking hate you", Quinn screamed, tears pouring from her eyes."You broke her! You fucking broke her, and I hope you burn in Hell for it!"
Finally, Rachel emerged from inside. Her jaw dropped at the scene before her. Brittany and Santana holding a very angry Quinn back. Mika Price, helping Jesse St. James up from the ground. Jonah being held back by Bruno, and two other male employees. Puck on the ground, next to a very sick looking Jade.
"Oh god...", she whimpered.
"There's cops coming you guys, so I'd get your shit together real fast", said one of the employees, looking to his right.
At that statement, Mike locked eyes with his brother.
"Keep your fucking mouth shut little brother, or I swear, your life is over", he said. As quick as he could, he got Jesse in the passenger's seat of his car. Before the door was shut, Jesse looked right Rachel, and mouth the words you're dead. Mika shut the door, than hurried over tot he driver's side, got in and pulled into traffic. Jonah, as angry as he was, knew exactly what he would need to do in order to avoid any of them getting in trouble with the fast approaching police officers.
"Alright, Girls, all of you inside now. I'm not even joking, get back inside", said Jonah, as he helped Jonah pull Jade up from the ground. Brittany pulled Quinn and Rachel inside, while Santana went over, and scooped Jade up off her feet. She followed the other three inside, and Puck and Jonah stayed outside.
"Just follow my lead you guys", said Jonah, as three NYPD uniforms approached them.
"How we doing tonight Gentlemen", one asked."What just went on here?"
Meanwhile, all five girls had gotten into the back office. Jade was sitting on the couch, Santana and Brittany sitting on either side of her, comforting her, and wiping tears from her cheeks. Rachel was wrapped tightly into Quinn, crying her eyes out.
"It's okay...it's okay Rachel baby, I got him. I got him good, and I'll get him again, I swear", Quinn was saying. She was still a little shaken up, but she was calm enough to be there for her girlfriend. Rachel knew she was safe, and even though she hadn't even exchanged words with Jesse, his actions scared her. It was clear he was planning on punishing her for taking Sunshine away from him.
"What the Hell just went down out there", asked Santana. She wasn't just concerned about Jade, she was angry too. Mostly because she had missed the chance to knock somebody out.
"They just...showed up. Mika texted me to come out front, when I got out there, Jonah was about to hit him", said Jade, through her tears.
"Wait...", said Quinn, still holding on to Rachel, but looking right at Jade.
"What? That was Mika? As in your piece of trash brother, that was him", asked Santana, in shock. Jade just nodded slowly."Oh my God...why the Hell were him and St. Mother Fucker together" asked Quinn, angrily.
"They're friends...they have been since they were like ten years old", cried Jade.
"Oh my God", said Santana, shaking her head.
"Sure, because sick and twisted minds think alike, and stick together", said Quinn, squeezing Rachel even tighter. "Those ass holes."
"Wait, Jade that guy driving the car was your brother? How come you guys don't like him", asked Brittany, sadly.
Oh Shit.
They had all forgotten. Brittany had no idea what Mika Price did to his little sister. They all just looked at each other.
"What", asked Brittany, who was growing slightly impatient.
"I need a drink...", said Jade, trying to stand up, but she was held down by Santana.
"No, you need to relax for a minute, Sweetness", said the Latina, as if she was getting her way.
"No, I'm fine. Please...I just need a drink...", cried Jade.
"Me too...", said Rachel, from Quinn's arms. Quinn looked down, and gave Rachel a reassuring smile, before planting a kiss on her forehead.
"Can somebody please explain this to me", asked Brittany desperately. She already knew it was bad, she sensed it from all of her friend's behavior.
"Alright...um...Q...why don't you go with these two out to the bar, and let them have their drinks. Personally I think it's a bad idea, but I do think they both need one. I guess me and B are gonna' stay in here and have a chat", said Santana, reluctantly. Jade turned to her, sad dark brown orbs, full of tears."Don't tell her...please...don't", she cried, desperately. She didn't think the taller blond girl had heard her, but she had. Brittany grabbed Jade's chin, and turned her face towards her own.
"Whatever it is...I don't care how bad...I only wanna' know because, I really care about you", she said, warmly."I know we barely know each other, but I like you Jade, you're my new friend. Whatever it is...I won't think badly about you, I promise."
The other three girls smiled at Brittany's kindness. It was so hard not to love the girl for how sweet she always was. Jade just nodded, and then slowly stood up. Quinn, holding on to Rachel, with one arm, and grabbing Jade's hand with the other, lead them out into the hallway, and closed the door. Brittany scooted closer to Santana, and looked right at her.
"Why is her brother a bad person?"
Santana looked into her Ex's big sad eyes, and her heart melted a little. She didn't want to tell her at all, but she knew she should. She figured the more support Jade had the better, even if she was still a little uncomfortable with the friendship between the two.
"Brit, you know how sometimes, family members don't always act like family? How they hurt the people they should love?"
"Like, Quinn's Dad?"
"Yeah, kind of like that."
"Does Mika hurt Jade like that? Does he hit her?"
"No Britts. It's something a little worse than that."
"Worse", asked Brittany, in shock.
"He...did something really bad to her. Something really...gross."
"Santana, just tell me", said Brittany, with just the slightest hint of fear in her voice.
"Mika forced Jade to...have sex with him...", Santana choked out. She didn't think she would cry, but she was wrong. Tears started rolling down her face, as she watched Brittany's expression turn from fearful to horrified.
"He...raped her? His own sister, he did that to her", she asked, as she started to cry herself.
Santana just nodded.
"Oh my God...well, why didn't anybody stop him", Brittany squeaked.
"I dunno'...", said Santana. She was at a loss for words. None of them had really gone much further with that information. They all wanted to do something about it, but they had all silently decided to respect Jade and Jonah's wishes to just leave it alone.
"God...Santana...how could he do that to her? How could he touch his own sister like that? How could Jesse wanna' hurt Rachel so bad? I don't understand...", cried Brittany."How come all these means disgusting people are going after our friends, Santana?"
"Please, calm down, B...please...", begged Santana. It was killing her to see the girl so upset. It only further pushed her want and need to beat the Hell out of Jesse and Mika."We're gonna' help them...".
"God, S...I hate this so much", the blond cried."I just got here, I was so happy too. I was so happy to see Rachie, and so happy to make friends with Jade, now I find out they're both in pain. That's not fair, they don't deserve that! And, why did you have to carry Jade in here, why does she get sick so much?"
"Okay, you really need to just calm down for a minute, please Brit...", cried Santana, pulling the girl into a hug.
"This is so unfair...", cried Brittany into Santana's shoulder. The Latina just held her friend, and cried with her.
I will fucking kill Jesse St. James and Mika Price. I will find them both, and kill them no matter what.
Out at the bar, Jade had gotten into a rather heated argument with Jonah and Puck, and they were starting to draw attention from some of the bar goers.
"Why the fuck did you block me from knockin' his sorry ass out! I'm the good brother remember", Jonah was yelling.
"Jonah, I was just trying to prevent a serious fight from happening! The cops did show up, that wasn't just your imagination", she yelled back.
"We took care of the cops, we lied out asses off, yeah but it's taken care of! Everyone out there backed us, you have nothing to worry about", argued Puck.
"That's not the point Noah, the point is, that was way too close, and I will not have either of you going to jail over those ass holes", snapped Jade.
"Yeah, you guys I would have felt awful if you two would have been arrested because of Jesse", Rachel said.
"Oh, but you were okay with Quinn kicking the shit out of him", scoffed Puck.
"Are you serious, Noah? I didn't even get outside until she had already gotten him down on the ground! What the fuck was I supposed to do", yelled Rachel.
"I don't know, but it's kinda' fucked up that you're getting all mad at me, when I didn't even touch him, and you probably haven't even said word one to Quinn about going after him", yelled Puck, as he kicked one of the bar stools over.
"Knock it off Puck", yelled Quinn.
"Owe, owe owe owe...", whined Jade, putting her hand on her chest.
"Okay, alright, everybody just shut the fuck up, and stop the bickering", said Alyson as she walked over, and stepped in the middle of all of them."You two, outside", she said, pointing at Quinn and Rachel. Quinn just shot her a dirty look, but Rachel grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the exit."You two, sit the Hell down, and get a beer", she said, looking at Jonah and Puck. They both rolled their eyes, and sat down."And, you", said the shorter raven haired girl, as she bent down to pick up the bar stool."You get behind the bar, take a shot, and fucking relax for a minute." Jade nodded, and slowly walked away, with her hand firmly pressed against her chest. Some of the people standing around listening to the argument, clapped and Alyson just shook her head.
"Yeah, yeah...get back to your alcohol", she said.
Outside, Rachel had lit up a cigarette. Quinn hated it, but she didn't dare protest it at the moment.
"I couldn't help it", she said, angrily."I saw him, and lost my mind."
"I know", said Rachel, refusing to make eye contact with the girl."I'm not mad at you, I'm just scared that...he might do something to hurt you now...".
"I will not let him touch me, Rachel."
"You might not have a choice, Quinn", snapped Rachel. She hadn't meant to sound to angry.
"What do you mean?"
"Jesse knows people, and so does the Price family. From the looks of it, you beat him up pretty badly, and I know him. I know he won't let you get away with that. He's already wanting to kill me for getting Sunshine away from him, now he probably wants to kill you too. He scares the shit out of me, Quinn, and that will never change, but if he ever does anything to hurt you I will destroy him. God...maybe I should just...let him hurt me, so he leaves you the alone...".
Quinn gasped at that statement. She stepped in front of Rachel, and looked right into her eyes.
"Don't you ever say that."
"Why not?"
"Because it will never come down to that, ever! Even if it did, there isn't a snow flake's chance in Hell I would let you do something like that."
"I want to protect you, Quinn", said Rachel, as a fresh strain of tears filled her eyes.
"I know you do...", said the blond, stepping closer to her girlfriend."And I love you for that, but I don't just want to protect you, I need to. There is no way I'm letting you anywhere near him ever again, I don't care if I have to be with you twenty-four hours a day, seven damn days a week. ...not ever."
Rachel blinked some of her tears away, and took another drag from her cigarette. She didn't think she could love Quinn anymore than she already did, until she had spoken those words. She took one last drag from the cigarette before tossing it into the street. She snuggled herself into Quinn's arms, and took a deep breath.
"Rachel...I love you."
"I love you too. I'm just terrified that...I might loose you."
"I'm not going anywhere, I'm right here...I'll always be right here...".
