Santana's POV
"Hey S, is she asleep?" I hear Quinn ask in a low whisper making sure not to wake up the tiny diva in my arms or the blonde dancer in her arms.
"Yeah. Let's go clean up the kitchen." I whisper back before I slowly move away from Rachel. Once I get up from the bed I stop and look back down at the tiny brunette in the huge bed with a little smile on face. God, she is so beautiful. It makes me sick to my stomach to think about everything that Rachel has gone through and how me and Quinn have tormented her. I wish I could take it all back, but I can't.
"You coming?" Quinn asks from the door.
"Yeah." I reply walking toward the door where Quinn was standing.
"She looks so tiny in that huge bed. Even Britt looks small in it." Quinn chuckles as we walk down the hallway.
When we enter the kitchen, Quinn goes and starts put the plates that was used for the movie night in the dishwasher. While I dump out the popcorn from the bowl on the counter and throw the bag in microwave away. We don't talk the whole time we clean up the kitchen, probably because were both not sure what to say right now. Everything that has happened today has been crazy for all of us and we both know that everything is going change from now on, hopeful for the better. I just really hope we can help Rachel or find her help if we can't do anything. I do know that all three us aren't going anywhere and were going be there for Rachel every step of the way.
Cleaning the kitchen only took about fifteen minutes. Once we were done we went into the living room and sat on the couch, just staring at the TV that was still on from earlier.
"Okay the silence is killing me." Quinn says leaning back more on the couch. "We need to talk about all this."
"I'm not sure what to say, Q. I mean we just found out the girl we all love has been living in this house by herself for over a year, her dad's are dicks, her mom doesn't want her, she's cutting and has been for a few months, and to top it off she admitted she has had suicidal thoughts. It's messed up and we helped break her to this point of cutting and not wanting to live. I hate myself for it." I say feeling tears run down my face.
"I know S, I feel horrible about it. I can't believe we was so blind and never seen the signs. What if we can't help? What if she kills herself, S? I don't think I could handle that. She means so much to me, all of us. God, were so stupid to have done the stuff we done." Quinn lays her head back against the couch trying to calm herself down as she cries. I move over and take her into my arms and kiss her tears away gently. I really hate seeing her and Brittany so upset, just as much as I hate see Rachel so upset.
"We will help her. If we can't then we'll find someone that can. I'm not going let her go without putting up a fight and I know you and Britt won't either. First, thing were going do is hide all the knifes, and search her bathroom and room for razors or whatever she has been using, and then were going find any pills or poisons and hide them to. Were not going chance anything, okay?" I tell Quinn as I rub her back lovingly. "We'll have to wait until tomorrow to search her room and her bathroom, but lets go check the other bathroom, kitchen, and other rooms."
"I say we-" Quinn started to say but was interrupted by Brittany walking into the living room with red eyes from crying.
"I had a nightmare." She whispered making her way over to us and sitting between us clinging to Quinn and me. She starts to cry burying her face into Quinn's neck.
"Shhh, sweetheart, we got you. What was your nightmare about?" Quinn asks holding her close.
"R-Rae." Brittany sobs. I knew that all this was harder for her then me and Quinn, because she's so innocent and sweet.
"What about Rach, Baby?" I ask gently rubbing her back.
"She left us." She answers quietly still crying. I knew what she meant when she said she left us. She dreamed that Rachel killed herself. Feeling tears in my eyes again I look away, I didn't want to think about it, but I couldn't help it. I shook the images of Rachel's lifeless body out of my mind.
"She's not going leave us, sweetheart." Quinn tells her kissing her cheek. After about five minutes or so Brittany started to calm down and yawn.
"Sleepy, Baby?" I ask smiling at her.
"Yeah, I think I'm going go back upstairs and go to sleep. Are you guys going come?" Brittany asks looking at me then at Quinn.
"We have something to do first then we'll be up, okay?" Quinn tells her as she kisses her on the lips gently. " We love you."
"I love you both too. Night San and Q." Brittany gets up and hugs and kisses me before she heads toward the stairs.
"Night baby." I call after her.
"I hate seeing Britt so upset."
"I know, I do too, but everything will be ok. Britt is a lot stronger then we give her credit for." I say standing up. "Come on let's go take care of things so when can go to bed. We have that meeting with coach tomorrow afternoon and that Glee party tomorrow night."
"Okay, I'll take care of the upstairs and you check down here." Quinn says getting up and walking toward the steps.
Walking back into the kitchen I sigh loudly running my fingers through my hair. I have no idea where to start, really. I guess I'll get all the knifes, shrugging I walk around the kitchen going through all the drawers getting all the knifes and sharp things. Then I look in the cabinets for anything I might have missed, stopping when I spot a few glasses. She wouldn't be that desperate and break glasses to cut would she? I guess it's better to be safe than sorry. I gather up all the glasses putting them on the counter top, before I go look for a box to put them in. I walk over to the supply closet in the hallway and find a small shoebox. This will work. I go back into the kitchen and put everything in the box, looking up to see Quinn walking in.
"You done?" I ask putting the cleaners and poisons I found in a bag.
"Yeah, I got all the pills and a few other things." Quinn replies putting the bag on the counter. "When I was gathering up the bottles of pills I couldn't help but to get a image of her popping pills. S, I'm so scared that were not going be able to fix this."
"Come here." I tell her wrapping my arms around her tightly. " Were going fix this and help Rachel get better. Then you know what were going do? Were going finish the two years of high school and then all four us are going go take New York by storm. New York isn't going know what hit it when the unholy trinity and tiny gold star take over."
"I hope so, S." Quinn whispers kissing me. " I really hope so."
"I know so." I reply with a smile and kiss her again. " I still need to go check the bathroom down here, living room, and basement."
"I'll help." Quinn says grabbing my hand as we head out of the kitchen to check the other parts of the house.
After about a hour of searching high and low in every other part of the house we go back to the kitchen and put everything on the counter.
"I think we got everything." I look down at everything we found. A bag full of pill bottles, two box of knifes and glasses, and three bags of cleaners and poisons. Damn, I never realized we found that much stuff until now.
"Where are we going put this stuff at?" Quinn asks looking over everything to.
"I'm not sure. We might need to lock it up somewhere in the house or basement." I say thinking of someplace to put everything. " We could ask Puck to come put a lock on one of the supply closets."
"Puck? I don't know if Rachel would like that to well. Plus, Puck is never nice to her."
"Actually, if you think about it Puck is the only in Glee that doesn't pick on her or treat her awful and he did beat up Karofsky when he found out about him shoving Rachel into that locker hurting her arm last year."
"I forgot about that. Still I don't think Rachel would want him to know. I mean we still wouldn't know anything if we didn't catch her in the bathroom earlier tonight."
"Maybe we could have him to find us a safe or something with a lock and we'll make up a story about why we need it." I say picking up the box of knifes and glasses. "Until then I guess we'll just have to put this stuff in the basement."
"Okay, I guess that would work." Quinn nods and picks up all bags of stuff, before we go back down in the basement. " How are we going check Rachel's room and bathroom later today?"
"I was thinking that we could have Britt take her to the park to feed the ducks and we'll tell them that we have something to do but we'll meet them there."
"That would work. You know Britt, will love the idea." Quinn laughs as we set all the stuff in our hands in the corner of the basement.
"Yeah." I laugh a little before I yawn. Looking at the time on my phone I see it's 2 a.m. Ugh, I didn't know it was that late and we have a meeting with at noon. "Come on we need to get to bed."
Entering Rachel's room I couldn't help but to smile at the two girls on the bed all curled up together. I look over and see Quinn taking out her phone and snapping a picture of them with a smile on her.
"Their so cute." Quinn says looking down at the picture she just took before showing it to me.
"They are." I smile again looking at the picture. Rachel was curled up in a little ball with her head laying on Britt's chest and Britt's arms were wrapped protectively around the tiny diva. "Night, Babe."
"Night, hon." Quinn hugs me and makes her way over to bed crawling in beside Britt, curling up against her putting her arm over her waist.
I walk over and get in beside Rachel, leaning over and kissing the tiny diva on the cheek before settling in beside her putting my arm around her waist letting sleep over take me.
I woke up feeling someone shaking me gently and saying my name over and over, groaning I roll over slightly and look up with sleepy eyes to see Britt smiling at me.
"Good morning, San." She says leaning over and kissing my cheek. "Quinn, told me to come get you up so you can go shower and eat before we leave for the meeting."
"Good morning, what time is it?" I ask sitting up rubbing my eyes.
"It's a little bit after ten." she replies making her way to door. "Quinnie and Rae made breakfast."
"Okay, Britt, I'm going go hop in the shower I'll be down in a minute." I get up out of the bed and stretch before I make way to the bathroom grabbing the clothes I wore yesterday night.
Stepping in the shower I turn the water on, letting the warm water hit my body as I thought of what was going today. I know that today is going be rough for all of us, I just hope that Rachel won't push us away now. Sighing, I quickly finish my shower and get dressed. When I fix my hair out of the corner of my eye I see the was cloth that Rachel used last night when her arm was bleeding. The blood on it was now a faded red color, but it still made my stomach turn as I saw flashes of Rachel cutting, her cleaning up her arm, and look on her face last night go through my mind. Her eyes were so emotionless last night when she was cleaning up her arm. It truly scared me. Shaking my head I grab the wash cloth and throw it in trash can before I make my way downstairs.
Reaching the hallway downstairs I smelled coffee. Thank God, coffee will
Definitely wake me up. I hear Rachel laughing with Britt. It makes me smile to hear her laughing.
"Hey, S." I hear Quinn say as I enter the kitchen.
"Hey, Q." I walk over to the coffee pot and grab a mug pouring me some. I sigh when I take the first drink. Coffee is like the best drink in world. Seriously, who ever decided to make it is truly my hero.
"How can you drink that with out sugar?" Our tiny diva ask when I turn around facing them as I lean up against counter nursing my mug.
"Sugar takes the taste away." I say wrinkling my nose up at the thought of sugar in coffee.
"Weird." She mumbles taking a bite of her food. "Morning by the way, Tana."
"Morning, Baby girl. Took you long enough to say." I laugh a little as I walk over to her and kiss her on the cheek lightly, causing her to blush.
"Sorry."
"It's ok, beautiful." I smile at her as she stands up and kisses my cheek, before she takes her plate to sink and walk over to the stove. I take this opportunity to steal her chair laughing at her when she turns around looking at me and huffing.
"You stole my seat." She says with one hand on her hip and the other holding a plate of food.
"I don't see your name on it." I stick my tongue out at her. I hear Brittany and Quinn laughing at us.
"Your lucky I find you cute." She mumbles putting the plate down in front of me. I grab her arm gently before she walks away and pull her on my lap wrapping my arms around her waist as she giggles a little.
"You find me cute, huh?" I ask squeezing her against my body gently.
"Maybe." She laughs when I poke her sides. I look over to see Brittany and Quinn smiling at us. All four us here together feels so right.
"Maybe?"
"Yep." She turns and smiles at me before she kisses the tip of nose, trying to stand up." You better eat."
"Okay, but sit here with me." I tighten my hold on her.
"How can you eat with me on your lap?" She ask still looking at me.
"Easy, watch." I reply smiling before I grab the fork and take a bite of the waffles on my plate. " See."
"I see." She laughs and relaxes against me as I eat my breakfast. " What are you guys doing today?"
"We have a meeting with coach Sylvester at noon. Then we thought that you and B could go to the park while me and S go get clothes from her house." Quinn tells her getting up and taking her empty plate and mine to the sink.
"Yay! Rae, were going have so much fun at the park." Britt claps her hands excitedly bouncing up and down in her chair. Rachel smiles at her and nods her head.
"You okay, Rach?" I ask laying my head on her shoulder.
"I'm fine, Tana." She smiles at me, but I could tell something was wrong. The smile was the fake one she's been using a lot lately.
"I know something is wrong. So talk to me, Baby girl."
"I just don't want you guys to leave me here." she whispers lowly, almost to low for me to hear.
"Rach, your coming to meeting with us. It's just a meeting between us and coach." I tell her hugging her tightly.
"But your coach hates me."
"No, she doesn't Rae." Britt says as pours herself another glass of milk. "She actually likes you a lot. Why do you think she's always giving Mr. Schue a hard time."
"I don't understand. She's always trying to ruin the Glee club and she's always mean to me." Rachel bites her lip with a confused look on her face. She's so adorable when she does that.
"She's mean to you, because she knows you deserve better then this stupid little town, so she's trying to push you more so you won't stay here and she's not really trying to ruin Glee club, she's trying to make Schue quit. Coach is actually trying to help, because she thinks that Mr. Schue is just holding you back and that you need someone better as a teacher then him. That's why she become Co-leader last year, she thought if she could work from the inside that Schue would quit and then she could find someone to take his place." Quinn explains to Rachel, who looks like she just entered the twilight zone. Her mouth is slightly open as she stares at Quinn, the look on her face makes me giggle a little bit.
"So, umm she's never hated me and she's trying to make Mr. Schue quit so she can find a better Glee director, because she wants me to leave this town after high school?" Rachel asks slowly still processing what Quinn just told her.
"Yes."
"How do you guys know this exactly?"
"Well, you see Rach, She knows about all three of us being together and she also knows how we feel about you." I tell her as she turns around to look at me.
"I'm so confused. For the last two years I thought everyone in that school hated me and now I'm finding out that the unholy trinity and coach Sylvester have never hated me at all and that all four have been trying to help me and save me from this little town. Do you all realize how messed up that sounds? How much hurt you all put me through, because you all thought this was for the best?" She tells us standing up slowly with her back turned to us. Oh no, she hates us. She's not going be able to forgive any of us for what we've done.
"Rach I-" I start to say but she cuts me off when she turns around and puts her hand up to stop me from talking.
"I guess I should thank you. Although I'm sure there was other ways you guys could have dealt with this, but you guys done this for me. It's the sweetest thing anyone has done for me. Messed up and twisted but still sweet." She smiles her 100 watt smile and yells holding her arms out.
"Group hug!"
Brittany squeals running over to her and hugs her tightly. Quinn and I smile and laugh as we walk over and take the tiny diva into our arms, holding her close.
"You scared us for a second." Quinn whispers.
"Sorry."
"It's okay sweetie. Were just glad your not mad at us."
"So, how long has she known about you guys being together and how did she find out about you guys liking me?"
"Well, she over heard us in the auditorium the first time we ever seen you. After that she called us into her office and told us she knew about our relationship and she was okay with it. Then she told us she heard us talking about you in the auditorium and agreed with us on the fact that you was born to be a star and no one should hold you back. Although she did try to talk us out of letting you go." I tell her as we still hug her tightly. We finally have our missing piece and we didn't want to let her go.
"I wish you guys would have listened to her about not letting me go." She whispers looking up at all of us with a smile. " You guys have a lot of making up to do though."
"We do." I say with smile.
"We're going make it up to you everyday from now until forever." Quinn kisses her nose, causing her to giggle.
"You better."
"We will Rae, Your stuck with us now." Brittany kisses her cheek gently.
"I wouldn't have it any other way." She leans up and kiss each of us on the cheek gently before we release her and sit back down. She sits in the seat in front of me beside Quinn, looking down at the table in thought. " Does this mean you guys our going tell her what's been going on with me?"
"No, sweetie. We won't tell her anything." Quinn tells her rubbing her arm gently.
"Thank you." She smiles at Quinn. "So when are we leaving?"
"In about twenty minutes." I tell her looking at the time on my phone. "The meeting won't take long. Then we'll take you and Britt to park and drop you off before me and Quinn go to my house."
"Oh, yeah Sanny, I called and told our parents we was staying at Rae's." Brittany tells us looking up from the coloring book she was coloring in."They told me to tell you and Quinn to call. Oh, and they said Hi and welcome to the family Rae."
"Wait, all your parents know about me? And they know you guys are together?" Rachel asks looking at all us again.
"Yeah." I reply simply.
"Explain." She raises a eyebrow at us.
"They knew about all three of us before freshman year. Heck, they figured it out before we even realized it our self. As for knowing about our feelings for you they kind of figured that out to when we performed at Regional's last year, because I guess all three of us looked like love sick puppies when you sung Faithfully with that idiot Finnoscence." I tell her reaching across the table and holding her hand gently.
"That's good that their okay with your guys relationship." She smiles at us again and squeezes my hand. "But what did mean Britt mean by she called them? I mean are they not home?"
"For the past three years all our family's go on vacation for two weeks. We couldn't go with them for the last two years because of cheerios, so we stay together until they get back." Quinn explains.
"Oh."
"You know their going to want to meet you when they get back." I tell her holding back my laugh as her eyes go wide and she looks from me to Quinn to Brittany.
"Do I have to?"
"Yes, they'll love you, Rach." I say smiling at her. " I know were not together or anything yet, but their still going want to meet you."
"This is a lot of information to take in." She says squeezing my hand gently again. " I do want to be with all of you, but I need time to process all this and time to be able to trust you all."
"We know, sweetie." Quinn rubs her arm and smiles at her.
"We'll wait forever if we have to." I tell her. " Were not going give up. We should have fought for you from the beginning."
"Maybe, but I have feeling that this was how it was supposed to happen." She says standing up and walking to the counter to grab her keys. " You guys are going be late if we don't leave now."
"I take it your wanting to drive?" I asking playfully.
"Duh, Now come on." She says as she walks out of the kitchen swaying her hips teasingly, making me and my two blonde girlfriends stop and stare.
"Damn." all of us say at the same time.
"Stop staring and get a moving." She asks turning slightly so we can see the smirk on her face before she continues toward the door laughing.
All three of us look at each other and run out of the kitchen after her. Once we reached the car we fought over who got to sit upfront.
"I was here first."
"No, I was, Q!"
"Sanny, I was here first!"
"Britt, you get to sit up here with me." Rachel says with a smile and laughs when she sees me and Quinn pout getting into the back seat. " You guys are like little kids."
"Thank you, Rae." Britt kisses her cheek before she puts the car into reverse and backs out of the driveway.
"Your welcome Britt."
"Unfair."
"Bullshit."
"Santana! Watch your mouth!" Rachel yells at me looking at me through the rearview mirror. "Someone is asking to be in trouble."
She smirks and winks at me. Oh wow, did it just get really hot in here or is it just me. I shift in my seat and squeak a little, causing the others to laugh at me.
"Who knew the big bad Santana could make a noise like that." Rachel jokes. "Makes me wonder what other sounds you make."
At that the two blondes go silent and we all look at Rachel with a shocked expression.
"Wow, you all got quiet." She says looking over at Britt then in the rearview mirror at me and Quinn. "Umm, Why you guys looking at me like that?"
The car stays silent for another five minutes until Rachel's eyes go wide, she blushes and she realizes what she just said. "I didn't mean it like that."
"Sure you didn't."
"Tease."
"I make some really sexy noises." Brittany says still looking at Rachel. Rachel blushes more and tries to keep her eyes on the road, causing me and Quinn to laugh at her. Rachel shakes her head and turns on the radio.
The rest of the car ride was pretty quiet, only thing that could be heard was Rachel singing lowly with the radio. The silence in the car didn't bother any of us, maybe because we were just happy to hear Rachel singing again. All three of us missed her singing in Glee, but we understand why she stopped. No one made it easy for her in there and the three us didn't help either. Last night when she sung those two songs you could tell how broken and lost she was, like she lost her will to even sing. Now, though she seems a little happier singing and I really hope it stays that way.
When we pull into the school lot I see Puck coming out of the field house carrying his football gear, remember what me and Quinn needed to ask him, I tell Rachel to park by his truck. She looks a little confused and wary about it but does it anyways. Quinn tells Britt to go ahead and take Rachel into the school.
"Puck!" I yell getting out of car with Quinn quickly.
"Hey, ladies." He smiles and hugs us once we reach him. "What are you guys doing here?"
"Meeting with coach." Quinn tells him.
"Oh, cool. You guys came with Berry?" He asks raising a eyebrow. "This isn't some plan to hurt her is it? Because you guys are my girls but I won't let you guys hurt her. I'm tired of just standing by and letting people hurt her."
"Were not going hurt her, Puck. We're done with hurting her too." I tell him. He still looks like he doesn't believe it. "Trust us."
"Okay." He nods. "You guys going tell me the story of how you guys decided to change your ways?"
"We will later, but right now we need a favor." I tell him. " No asking questions right now, okay?"
"Okay, now you got me really curious."
"Can you get us a safe or something like it with a lock?"
"A safe?" He raises a eyebrow again and looks at us like were crazy. " You know I really want to know why you need one."
"I told you no questions. Just answer. Yes or no?" I huff crossing my arms across my chest.
" Yeah sure I can get you one of those big locker things with a lock. That work?" he asks and we nod. "When do you need it?"
"Soon as possible." Quinn answers for me.
"Okay, I can probably get one today. Whose house am I taking it to?"
"Rachel's house. We'll be there by 2:30. You think you can get it by then?" I ask, as I hear the rest of the football coming out of the field house making me roll my eyes when they cheer for Puck, thinking his going get lucky with us or something. Stupid boys.
"Yeah and I except you guys to explain why you need it and what is going on with you and Rachel." He tells us as he flips off his stupid team mates. Puck really is a sweet guy. He's the only one who has never hit on us, he's like our big brother.
"Deal. We got to go before coach has a fit. We'll see you later."
"We'll text you when were on our way to Rachel's house."
We both hug and kiss his cheek before we take off toward the school. Walking into the school we see coach Sylvester, talking and laughing with Rachel and Britt in the hallway. I share a confused look with Quinn, coach never laughs.
"Look who finally decided to join us." Coach says looking at us. "You two are late."
"Umm we had-" Quinn starts to say but is cut off by coach raising her hand.
"You two know what happens when your late." She says in her scary voice. We both gulp, looking at her with fear. The last time anyone was late they ended up having to run around the track all night. I look at Rachel who is trying hard not to laugh and then I look back at coach who starts to laugh.
"You should see your guys faces." Rachel laughs pointing at us. We look at them confused.
"Huh?"
"Rachel, told me you guys had to talk to the Puckerman boy. I was just messing with you."
"Oh." Is all I can say.
"Britt, was telling me you all finally told Rachel how you all felt." Coach says as she motions for us to walk into her office with her. "I'm really glad you three came to your senses and told her."
"We are to, coach." Quinn says as all four us sit down on the chairs in her office.
" Care to tell me when this happened?" Coach asks leaning back in her chair behind her desk.
"Last night." I reply with a little smile.
"Good, I'm happy for you all. You all deserve to be happy and I'm guessing you guys told Rachel about me."
"They did." Rachel answers smiling. Coach smiles at her before looking at me.
"S, go with her and get her a uniform and a turtleneck."
"Uniform? Why?" Rachel asks looking at her weirdly.
"You're a cheerio now." Coach replies like it was a dumb question.
"But-" Rachel starts to say but coach cuts her off.
"No buts you're a cheerio now. You don't have to cheer or anything, but you'll be on the team so I can keep a better eye on you." Coach tells her gently. I've never seen Coach like this before.
"O-Okay." Rachel says still a little confused. I take her hand a lead her out of the office. Walking through the locker room I couldn't help but to think about Rachel in a cheerios uniform. Man, it's going be torture. Sweet torture.
"Never thought I would be a cheerio." Rachel laughs a little.
"Are you going to cheer?" I ask as we reach the room where the uniforms are.
"Maybe." She shrugs and looks around the room where all the uniforms and gear are. "Wow, that's a lot of stuff."
"Yeah, coach made Figgins add this room just for all this stuff." I say entering the room and looking for a uniform and turtleneck for her. After about ten minutes I finally find the smallest uniform I can find and hand it to her.
"Thanks." She smiles and kisses my cheek before walking out to try it on. "I'll meet you back in the office."
"Okay." I say walking back to the office where coach and my girlfriends waited.
"You find one?" Coach asks as I sit back down.
"Yeah, she's trying it on now." I nod with a smile.
"She's going look so hot." Brittany says dreamily. Quinn giggles but nods her head.
"You three are totally whipped and you're not even dating her yet." Coach smirks at us. Quinn and Brittany blush as I huff at the idea. I'm not whipped.
"They might be whipped, but I'm not." I mumble.
"Tana, Come here." I hear Rachel say from the door. I jump up and and walk over to her quickly.
"You okay?" I ask looking at her. Then I hear the three blondes behind me laughing. I turn and look at them. "What?"
"Not whipped, huh?" Quinn laughs and then it hits me, She heard us.
"You little." I turn to see her smiling at me. I instantly smile at her.
" Your so cute." She kisses my cheek. "So how do I look?"
She walks into the middle of the office and spins in a little circle. I think I'm drooling. She looks so sexy in that uniform.
"Hot." Britt says standing up and hugging her tightly.
"You look good, sweetie." Quinn stands and hugs her too.
"Sue approved." Coach smiles at her.
"Tana?" I look in her eyes and blush at being caught checking her out. " Are you drooling?"
My eyes widen and I reach up to wipe my mouth. She starts laughing at me and walks back over to me and hugs me tightly, I wrap my arms around her and hold her.
"You look great, Baby girl." I tell her and kiss her cheek.
"Now the reason I wanted you guys to meet me today is because I finally figured out how to ruin William and his little group." Coach tells us with a look that makes me shiver a little.
"how?" Rachel asks taking my hand leading me over to sit.
"Shelby Corcoran is how."
I feel Rachel squeeze my hand tightly at the mention of her mothers name.
"Coach you know that's Rachel's mother?"
"Yes, Q, I know. She contacted me a few weeks ago."
"What? Why?" Rachel asks with wide eyes.
"She wants to fix things between the two of you. Which is why I'm glad you're here and that my girls finally told you their feelings, because now it makes my job a lot easier."
"Coach? What do you mean?" I ask looking at Rachel making sure she's okay.
"Well, I know how you feel about your mother Rachel and when she first contacted me I was very wary of it, because I've seen how you've changed over the course of the last few months and I didn't want to upset you more or let someone in that would hurt you even more. But, once I talked to her. I realized that she's really sorry for what she done and how she acted. She loves you very much, Rachel and wants to try to fix things between you two. Now, I'm not going tell you why she acted like she did last year, but I will tell you that she had a good reason to and she was never far from you." Coach tells Rachel, who looks like she just seen a ghost.
"Coach, Do you think this is a good idea?" I ask looking at her. " I don't want her to hurt Rachel again."
"S, I know you all don't want her to get hurt anymore and she won't not with all of us in her corner now."
"Are you okay, Rae?" Britt asks as she kneels in front of Rachel.
"I'm just a little shocked and confused." Rachel says quietly. " But I trust you, coach."
"Good." Coach smiles at Rachel. " You guys are free to go. Rachel, Shelby and I will be at your house at 5:30 tonight, okay?"
"Okay." Rachel nods as we all stand and Rachel walks over and hugs coach, who just smiles and hugs her back. "Thank you."
"Your welcome, Kiddo. I'll see you all later."
"Bye." We all says as we walk out of the office. Today has turned out to be a very weird and interesting day. I just hope Rachel we'll be okay and not be to upset when Shelby tells her whatever she has to tell her. If it doesn't go well, then the unholy trinity we'll pick up the pieces.
"I'm going go change." Rachel tells us walking away quickly. I stare after her, really hoping she's okay.
"Do you think we should trust, Shelby?" Quinn asks as Rachel disappears around the corner.
"You know, coach wouldn't hurt Rae." Britt says as we lean up against the wall to wait for Rachel.
"Britt's right, Babe."
Rachel decides to let's Quinn drive since her and Britt was going to park. I sit in the back with Rachel holding her hand. She was being really quiet and it was starting to worry me a little.
"Baby girl, your awful quiet." I say looking over at her.
"Sorry, Tana. I was just thinking." She smiles at me.
"Want to talk about it?"
"I'm just wondering what all my mom has to say, is all. You guys we'll be there right?"
"Of course, Sweetie." Quinn smiles at her through the rearview mirror."
"Thank you." She tells us smiling.
"No need to thank us, Rae. We're always going be here for you." Britt says turning around and smiling at her.
"Today has really turned out to be a weird day and I think it's only just started." Rachel says looking out the window.
I think she's right about that. Today has only half begun.
