AN: sorry for the wait. Last week, I had finals which by the way I ended the term with a 3.0. Which was been my best college term.

Rachel looked back at the man, who had punched Azimio across the face, to realize that it was Puck. She didn't understand what his issue was why he felt like he was her savior and needed to protect her.

"NOAH!" Rachel yelled. "What the hell was that for?"

"You were just forced into this" puck said

"Wow" Brittney said "they have been seeing each other since July. Where do you think she was all this summer?"

"She said she was with Tina" puck said

Everyone turned and stared at Tina.

"Leave me out of this. I saw her once" Tina said, as she left the area.

Rachel then turned back to Puck, stared at him. bent over azimio and kissed him, that actually received a few hoots and hollers but what gave a few out roars and Santana's respect was officially earned was when Rachel bitch-slapped Puck then left. Brittney ran out after her. She didn't know much but she knew she hated seeing people sad. It took a bit of time, but she found Rachel, sitting in the choir room. She was certain that Rachel wasn't there even ten minutes before. Britney sat next to her, and said something that made Rachel look at her in shock.

"no one chooses who they love. And you love Azimio, I can tell"

Rachel turned her head to look at the blonde girl.

"how?"

"you look at him in a different way then you ever did Finn or Jesse"

Rachel just looked at Brittney.

"so you aren't mad"

"why should I be? It's not affecting me, now if he broke your heart, I'd be pissed"

"you know what Britt"

"What?"

"you aren't as dumb as people think"

Brittney giggled then stood up and grabbed Rachel's hand and led her out of the choir room. They didn't get far until Quinn punched Rachel across the face. Brittney tried to defend Rachel, but Quinn would have none of it, as she pushed the other blonde aside.

"you having been seeing Azimio all this time?"

"good to see you can comprehend that"

Quinn then stomped off. Rachel knew she hear about it when she got home but she was more worried about glee club and if they would try to kick her out again, for the hundredth time. She didn't understand why they kept trying to get rid of her. She was their strongest voice. Well she decided to suck it up, and walk back into the choir room. When she walked in, she was greeted by eyes from around the room, that could have burn holes in her, if they tried. She was relived that the only seat left was next to Santana. Santana and Brittney were the only ones, who were not mad at Rachel. Mr. Shue quickly walked in, trying to start the lesson but was quickly interputed by Quinn.

"mr shue, I don't believe Rachel belongs here. She clearly betrayed the club"

Finn, Mercedes, Lauren, Tina, Kurt, and mike all agreed with her in some way. Brittney, Santana, Artie and Sam didn't understand what Rachel did wrong. Artie was the first one to speak up. He had the most logic of the group and had notice a few changes.

"Well I may not be 100% for this relationship but she has been less tense and he hasn't slushied anyone this year"

"and she's happy" Brittney said 'what's wrong with that?"

"everything is wrong with that. Rachel is supposed to be alone and miserable. When she's not in love, Glee is all she has. And we need to win again this year"

Rachel got fed up and stood up

"you know what Quinn, get over yourself. I can't help who I fall in love with. So if none of you can accept that I can be completely happy with my life' Rachel said 'you know what I quit'

Rachel then walked out. Everyone turned and looked at Quinn. Most were mad at Rachel but didn't expect her to leave the group again.
