Big thanks to those who continue to review. You're awesome.
Brittana are just going through a rough patch...don't worry though. They are as strong as...really strong things.
Rachel gets some bad news though…
So please sit back and relax while you read my dialogue, gain no attachments to any of my original characters and be disappointed by my drivel. Enjoy! ;)
~~~ Tomorrow, I Love Ya Tomorrow! ~~~
Brittany woke up the next morning with a headache and an empty bed, which just made her sad. With a heavy sigh she thought back to last night and her argument with Santana. She hated it when they fought it just didn't seem normal for them to be mad at each other. Thinking about it now Brittany felt bad for probably overreacting and all this could have been avoided.
Brittany slowly got out of bed and headed downstairs to find her wife sprawled out on the couch fast asleep. Her arms and legs were hanging off the side of the sofa, she had her mouth wide open as she snored and there was even some drool. It wasn't exactly a pretty sight but Brittany couldn't help but love her.
Brittany made her way over to her wife pulling the blanket up around her shoulders and moved her limbs back onto the couch before she headed into the kitchen to make some coffee.
Santana woke herself up by her loud snoring and seemed a little confused as to why she was in the living room but then it soon came back to her. She had come home late that night after her argument with Brittany. She was still in a bad mood so she decided to just sleep on the couch.
Santana could smell the wonderful aroma of coffee floating in the air so she dragged herself up off the couch and made her way into the kitchen. Brittany was standing by the counter waiting for the toaster to give her, her toast. As soon as Santana entered the room there was a thick tension that surrounded them. The brunette cautiously made her way over to the coffee pot and poured herself a drink while Brittany focused on her breakfast.
"Do you want some toast?" Brittany asked quietly
"No thanks" Santana mumbled as she stood awkwardly by the stove.
There was a long silence after that. Both women wanted to stop this silliness but they weren't sure how to take that first step.
"Brittany...I'm sorry about last night." Santana mumbled
She placed her mug down and slowly made her way over to her wife standing closely behind her.
"I'm sorry for working so much and being bitchy. We both said some stuff and we both got hurt...can we please just put this behind us?" Santana added
Brittany turned around to face her wife. Santana frowned because she just looked like a sad panda.
"I'm sorry for being mean to you last night." She quietly muttered
"I may have deserved it...a little" Santana gave her a little smile
"No...no I was being mean and I shouldn't have called you a bitch." Brittany replied
"That was pretty harsh" Santana agreed
Brittany nodded sadly
"Britt...I love you and I don't like it when we're like this." Santana sighed
"I don't like it either"
Brittany took hold of her wife's hands and gently pulled her in close till they were in each other's personal space. Santana rested her forehead against Brittany's and pulled their joined hands up to rest on her chest.
"Can we stop fighting now?" Santana asked softly
Brittany just nodded. Santana gave her a small smile and then placed a tender kiss to her wife's lips. Brittany pulled back a little confusing Santana.
"You've got a little drool" Brittany giggled as she wiped Santana's chin.
Santana looked away feeling slightly embarrassed and annoyed that their awesome romantic moment of reconciliation was ruined. Brittany just smiled and gently turned her face back so she could kiss her wife properly.
They slowly pulled out of the kiss and gave each other small almost shy smiles.
"Britt-Britt"
"Yeah?"
"Do you smell smoke?" Santana frowned
Brittany's eyes went wide then quickly turned around to see the toaster smoking like a chimney.
"My toast!"
The couple floundered about trying to turn the stupid thing off finally they just pulled the plug out of the wall but now their kitchen stank of burnt bread.
"Aww man I really wanted that" Brittany pouted
Santana just chuckled
"I'll make you some more"
"Don't you have to get ready for work?" Brittany asked trying not to show any hints of sadness in her voice
Santana shook her head.
"I took the day off. They can manage a day without my awesome skills...and I've prepped Emily so she should be able to handle it." Santana replied
Brittany was a little surprised by that and kinda overjoyed she didn't know what to do.
"Y-You're home all day?"
Santana smiled and nodded
"Seriously?" Brittany asked again
Santana just nodded again. Brittany couldn't stop the big smile that appeared on her face as she wrapped her wife up in a big hug. Santana just giggled at her wife's reaction.
"You know I still don't like your assistant right?" Brittany mumbled into her wife's shoulder
"Yes...I may have picked up on that." Santana replied
"You know she's totally in love with you" Brittany added
"Britt...she's not in love with me"
"Santana…trust me she looks at you like you're some kind of goddess that should be worshiped" Brittany replied
"Well…I kinda am" Santana smirked
Brittany just rolled her eyes
"My boobs alone deserve their own country of worshipers" Santana added
"I'm being serious here" Brittany pouted but tried not to smile
"You would definitely be their leader" Santana continued with a smug smile
"Stop…I'm trying to talk to you" Brittany giggled
"You even had your own dance for my twins" Santana chuckled
Brittany slightly blushed at that
"Sanny…just be careful with her…please"
"Emily is harmless…Britt you know I only have eyes for you. I could care less about anybody else who thinks I'm hot or whatever. I don't care about them…I just care about you" Santana told her
"I trust you Santana I always have and I always will…I don't trust her though"
"Look…ok let's just say that she has a crush on me that just means she'll do everything I say so really it's like I'm getting my own personal slave." Santana reasoned
Brittany just rolled her eyes.
"You know you'd probably like her if you weren't so jealous" Santana told her
"I'm not jealous! I'm just concerned about her intentions with my wife" Brittany stated
"Just give her a chance...please?" Santana asked looking all adorable so Brittany couldn't possibly say no.
"Fine…I'll give her a chance, but if she so much as looks at your boobs, butt or lips she's gone" Brittany replied
"Alright Chicken" Santana chuckled
~~~ Dream Lover ~~~
Rachel laid on her side as she watched her wife in fascination. The blonde was fast asleep completely dead to the world but was rambling nonstop in her sleep and some of the things she was saying were just ridiculous.
"Cats in the star ship go!" Quinn mumbled
She then giggled and scrunched up her nose which just made her look so adorable Rachel had to restrain herself from just jumping her then and there.
"I love my lovely lady lumps" Quinn then mumbled with a small smile
Rachel contemplated whether or not she should grab her phone and record all this because it was just too funny and adorable.
"The dildo's got my baby" Quinn then muttered
That time Rachel did laugh out loud but Quinn continued to sleep.
"Quinn…sweetheart" Rachel softly called her
"Nooo….I don't wanna eat the hotdog" Quinn frowned
"No hotdog…but maybe you could eat your wife" Rachel replied with a smirk
"Ok but don't tell Rachie" Quinn mumbled
Rachel just raised an eyebrow at that then gently shook her wife's shoulder to wake her up properly. Quinn just let out an annoyed groan and snuggled deeper into her pillow.
"Quinn…it's getting late you need to wake up" Rachel told her speaking a little bit louder.
"But I don't wanna" Quinn whined
"Come on Quinn…Toby and Maya are taking us out for brunch this morning so get your gorgeous butt outta bed." Rachel instructed and slapped her ass as she went.
Quinn reluctantly opened her eyes and made a big show about how she was not happy about waking up. Rachel just watched as she picked up some clothes that were on the floor.
"Hey you promised me sexy times" Quinn grumbled as she sat up.
"You took too long getting up so you miss out" Rachel told her
Quinn's jaw dropped and the pout was about to emerge.
"But if you hurry up and get into the shower…I may feel the need to join you" Rachel added with a small smirk as she headed to their bathroom.
Quinn pretty much ran out of bed and nearly crashed into her wife trying to get to the bathroom Rachel just laughed at her eagerness.
Rachel and Quinn sat at the small café as they waited for Toby, Maya and Ally to arrive. Their son had told them that they had some important news that they wanted to share. Rachel was secretly hoping it was that the two of them were back together. Quinn was hoping that there was some good news about the trial. The threesome finally arrived with Ally skipping along between her daddy and Maya holding both of their hands. When Ally saw her grandmas she quickly let go of her parents and ran over to them. Rachel picked her up and placed her on her lap giving the little girl a big kiss on the cheek.
"Hello Ally"
"Hello Nana! Gammy!" Ally pretty much yelled as she hugged them pulling Quinn over into the hug.
"How are you Miss Ally?" Quinn asked
"M'good…I gots lots to tell you" Ally replied all excited.
"Hey hold on pumpkin…let's get some food first" Toby chuckled as he and Maya sat down opposite Quinn and Rachel
"Hey guys…so what did you want to tell us?" Quinn asked Ally
"Well-" Ally smiled brightly
"Ally." Maya spoke up and pretended to zip her lips up holding back her smile
Ally just giggled and nodded and did the same
"Alright you three what's going on?" Rachel asked suspiciously
"Well since this little one can't keep her excitement we'll tell you." Toby replied
Ally just giggled
"So what is it?" Quinn asked
"Well…the trial is over" Maya started
Quinn and Rachel looked a little surprised
"That was quick" Rachel commented
"Yeah…and he only got one year but it's done so I'm moving on" Maya quickly replied
She didn't really like talking about this topic around Ally or in general actually. Both Rachel and Quinn looked a little disappointed and angry by that result. They didn't really want to get into it with Ally around so they would wait till later to get more details about it.
"Can I tell them?" Ally pleaded.
Seriously the girl was excited and was ready to burst. Toby and Maya just laughed and nodded
"Maya and Daddy bought me a pony!" She yelled and threw her arms up
Her grandma's eyes went wide and they looked over at Maya and Toby in confusion but tried to look excited because Ally was.
"W-Wow…that's….you're a very lucky little girl Ally" Rachel finally got out
Ally just nodded
"H-How? Guys you do know how expensive that is?" Quinn quietly asked
"We know…but we can afford it" Maya replied
"How?"
"Part of the settlement was a two million dollar payout" Toby quietly explained
"And I wanted to do this for her" Maya added
Rachel and Quinn just sat there completely shocked they really didn't know what to say.
"T-Two million?" Quinn stuttered
Toby and Maya nodded
"I've already donated some money to the women's shelter and bought Ally her pony…I didn't really want his money but I guess it can be put to some good use" Maya quietly explained
"Daddy show them the photos!" Ally instructed as she bounced on Rachel's lap
Toby pulled his phone out and showed his parents Ally's new pony. It was a little golden horse with a random black spot on its shoulder. Ally flipped through all the photos showing her grandparents and chatted away explaining how they picked her out of all the other ones and how she was going to look after it and love it and feed it and ride it all the time. The adults just listened and couldn't help but smile at her enthusiasm.
"What's his name sweetie?" Rachel asked
"It's a she nanny!"
"Oh sorry…what's her name?" Rachel giggled
"Well I was going to call her Ariel after the bestest princess ever but she doesn't have red hair so I'm gonna call her JellyBean" Ally replied with a big smile
"You're naming you're horse JellyBean?" Quinn asked in amusement
"Yep" Ally nodded as if it was the most logical name for a horse.
"Well I think it's a great name" Rachel replied
"You should come see her! I can teach you how to ride" Ally told them
"Um…sure sweetie we'll come see…JellyBean sometime soon" Quinn replied a little unsure. She wasn't a huge fan of horse riding.
"Yay!" Ally clapped.
~~~ Finding A Solution ~~~
Becky sat in her chair as she looked at Diane expectantly as her therapist looked over the photo that she had received the other day. She waited for her to say something or suggest a way to get rid of the crazy. Diane was a little disturbed by the photo like everyone else who had seen it. She had come across some patients who had grown unhealthy attachments to other people but this was more than just an attachment this was bordering on something else. She put the photo down and looked at her current patient the slightly troubled blonde who had made some great improvements over the short time she had been working with her.
Becky was opening up more and slowly letting her defences down. It meant a lot for her to trust Diane with what she had just given her and so Diane made it her personal mission to help to the best that she could.
"Well…this is…definitely unnerving" Was all she could say at this point
"I know! I nearly had a panic attack when I couldn't reach my wife when I first saw it." Becky replied
"But your wife is safe?" Diane asked in concern
"Yes…thank god. I just…I'm starting to get scared…I'm worried Valerie is going to do something and it scares me because I don't know what she will do or when she will do it. I mean I have no idea what she's really capable of…what's she's willing to do." Becky rambled
"I can understand that fear…if I were in your shoes I would have the same concerns" Diane agreed
"So what do I do? There has to be something I can do to make this stop." Becky asked desperately
"Normally I would suggest going to the police but they will most probably tell you that there isn't enough evidence it's all hearsay at this point. What you need is conclusive evidence that she has an unhealthy obsession with you, because that is all I can put it down to. She is obsessed and probably won't stop till she has what she wants…which is you" Diane told her
Becky just nodded, she knew all this
"How do I get any evidence?" She asked
Diane shifted in her seat and suddenly looked a little nervous she looked around her office which was silly because it was just her and Becky. The blonde got a little suspicious of her odd behaviour.
"What?" She carefully asked
"What I'm going suggest isn't…necessarily orthodox and is well…illegal." She whispered
Becky raised her eyebrow now intrigued
"What are you suggesting?"
"Nothing…I'm merely saying words and however you interpret them is out of my hands" Diane quickly replied
"Ok I'm listening" Becky nodded
"If you need evidence…then you should go look for it. If she's stolen from you and kept it then it's more than likely she will have other things. She is obsessive and she feels the need to be close to you so I am willing to bet my house on the fact that she will have other…mementos linking her to you" Diane told her cryptically
Becky looked at her in confusion
"Just…don't touch it otherwise it will be compromised in a court room…and don't get caught." Diane added
"Wait…a-are you saying I should…break in and search her stuff?" Becky asked a little surprised at the woman's suggestion.
"Those words never left my mouth." Diane replied but gave her a slight nod
"Look I only hint at this because Valerie showed you this for a reason…you didn't stumble across it. She wanted you to see it…so that to me says that she's at the stage where she will become more aggressive to getting what she wants." Diane added.
Becky sat there contemplating what to do. If she could get away with it she was more than sure she would find something because there had to be something. But how would she do it? She's not like a spy or a detective or even a criminal and has no clue on how to break into people's personal things. It was a little fantastical of a thought. It just seemed so…TV drama…like it wasn't real that it shouldn't be happening to her…but it was.
"Just be careful…with whatever you choose to do" Diane added showing concern. She could pretty much lose her job for even thinking about telling Becky to do this.
Becky just nodded still a little lost in thought about what she should do.
~~~ The Plan ~~~
Like any other day Ben and Charlie were down in the basement of the Berry-Fabray house singing away like they always do. After the 'incident' the other day the pair had decided to stay clear of the more…sexual songs and just go for straight romance…for now anyway. Ben held Charlie's hands in his own and with a big grin Ben began to sing.
"Hey, hey Charlie, I wanna marry you
Hey, hey Charlie, no one else could ever do
I've waited so long for school to be through
Charlie, I can't wait no more for you
My love, my love"
Charlie just blushed and then got ready to sing her part.
"Hey Ben, I've been waiting for you
Hey, hey, hey Ben, I want to marry you too
If you love me true, if you love me still
Our love will always be real
My love, my love"
The two lovebirds then sang together.
"True love means planning a life for two
Being together the whole day through
True love means waiting and hoping that soon
Wishes we've made will come true
My love, my love"
(Ben)
Hey, hey Charlie. I've been waiting for you
(Charlie)
Hey, hey Ben I want to marry you too
(Both)
True love means planning a life for two
Being together the whole day through
True love means waiting and hoping that soon
Wishes we've made will come true
My love, my love"
Up in the living room found Becky sat with Grace and Sofia with a cup of coffee each sitting around catching up as they waited for Rachel and Quinn to come back home.
"Ugh god could they be any more sickening…it's like a fucking Disney movie with those two…You know I would not be surprised to find little forest animals down there dancing and singing along while they sing about all their dreams coming true and dancing around with stupid smiles on their faces." Sofia cringed.
"I'll say…why do they always have to sing?" Becky asked
Sofia shrugged
"I think it's like...their version of foreplay" She then added
"Ew! Sofia that's my baby sister please don't say stuff like that" Grace cringed
Sofia just chuckled
"Sweetie Charlie is a big girl now and she's gonna be doing a lot more than foreplay" Sofia smirked
"Shut up" Grace warned
"And we all know she's not virginal hasn't been for a while" Sofia continued
"Seriously Sofia stop talking" Grace told her
"I mean who knows what she's done-ow! You did not just throw a cookie at me" Sofia huffed
"I told you to stop did you listen? No...it's your own fault" Grace replied
Sofia just glared at her
"So it's Hannah's birthday soon and I want your opinion on what I'm getting her" Becky changed the subject
"How old is she turning? 30?" Sofia teased
"She's turning 27 moron" Becky replied
"What have you come up with so far?" Grace asked
"Well...I kinda want to...I want to take her for a holiday...to Australia." Becky replied
"Really?" Sofia asked
"Aw that's so sweet she would love that" Grace smiled
"I know, she's been going on and on about how much she misses it for a long time now so I've been looking into it, which is kinda hard since she's a travel agent but the girls at her work have helped so...I just need to finalize things" Becky told them
"Isn't it expensive though?" Sofia asked
Becky nodded
"I kinda have a separate account that I've been putting money into for like the last couple of years...I told Hannah it was for a new car."
"So you lied to her? Sneaky" Sofia commented with a nod of approval
"So you think I should go ahead with it?" Becky asked
"I think you should" Grace nodded
"Yeah it'll give us a break from you guys" Sofia smirked
Becky just glared at her
"They've stopped singing" Grace noticed suddenly looking a little concerned.
"They're probably having sex now then" Sofia replied dryly as she started to eat the cookie Grace had thrown at her.
"Not funny" Grace grumbled before she got up
"Where are you going?" Sofia called out
"I'm making sure my baby sister still has her clothes on!" Grace yelled back.
Sofia and Becky just laughed.
"Hey Sofia I…um…I need to talk to you about something…while Gracie isn't here" Becky quietly spoke up
"Ok…what's up?" Sofia asked a little worried because Becky looked pretty serious right now
"It's about that photo I showed you" Becky replied taking a look over her shoulder to make sure Grace was still gone
"Yeah?" Sofia muttered getting a little concerned now
"I…I kinda have a plan and I just…wanted to run it by you and get you to tell me I'm completely mad for doing it but still support me…that's why Grace can't know about it…or Hannah" Becky replied
"Becky…what…" Sofia was confused and slightly worried
"I can't keep sitting by and waiting for something to happen…so…I've decided to take action."
"By doing what exactly?" Sofia asked
"Breaking into her house and finding any kind of evidence to make her go away." Becky bluntly told her
Sofia sat there a little shocked…didn't see that one coming.
"I'm sorry what?" She asked after her shock wore off
"You heard me" Becky sighed
"Becky are you insane? You can't do this…not just because its illegal…but its totally dangerous. What if she catches you? What if she…she attacks you or kills you?" Sofia asked
"You're being dramatic I'll be fine" Becky rolled her eyes
"Dramatic? Becky have you seriously thought about this?" Sofia asked with worry
"I have…and that's what I'm doing." Becky stated
"Please don't do this Becky…its too risky" Sofia pleaded
"What else can I do?" Becky asked angrily
"Break into her classroom instead!" Sofia suggested
"Huh?"
"Before you go all James Bond…start simple at least. Check out her classroom see if there isn't anything there…just please don't go to her house" Sofia replied
Unfortunately the conversation was cut short when Grace came back up from the basement and flopped back down onto the couch.
"Good news…they both had their clothes on" Grace stated happily.
~~~ I Knew Before ~~~
After a very fun filled morning with her wife Brittany headed back down stairs to get them both some refreshments…it was thirsty work having hot make up sex with your wife. Just as she was about to head back up to their room the doorbell rang. With an annoyed sigh Brittany quickly went to go answer the door and get rid of whoever was there and get back to her sexy brunette. Once she opened the door Brittany was a little surprised to find Santana's assistant standing there. Emily looked equally surprised to see Brittany.
"Oh…um…hi" She nervously spoke
"Hello" Brittany replied a little coldly
Emily just sort of stood there like a little lamb looking at a big scary lioness or something. Brittany sighed she did say she would give the girl a chance so she softened her expression trying not to look terrifying. Brittany didn't like scaring people all the time and she didn't want to start arguing with Santana again.
"Is there something you needed?" Brittany asked without the coldness
"Oh um…yes…well actually I just…Santana left her briefcase at my apartment last night and I just came over…to bring it back" Emily replied with a nervous smile
Brittany just nodded and held her hand out for the briefcase. Emily was a little surprised that Brittany didn't react to that. It was obvious the older women didn't like her and her boss told her that her wife was jealous of her so it was odd that she didn't react to hearing that her wife was at her apartment last night.
"Let me break it down for you Emily" Brittany started when she noticed her surprise by Brittany not reacting
"First of all you can take that look of your face because I can see through your smile. I bet you couldn't wait to come here and bring all of this up but I already knew before I know where she was last night." Brittany explained
Emily just stood there a little frozen on the spot
"Second of all I know you have this big crush on my wife you aren't fooling anyone…even though Santana doesn't see it. I do and trust me you are not the first person and you won't be the last to think they can try and take her away from me. I know she is an amazing woman but she is mine." Brittany added
This side of Brittany only ever really came out once in a blue moon and it wasn't for random moments of anger like her wife. Brittany's badassness was calculated and executed with brutal precision. There was a reason she was one of the top Cheerios along with Santana and Quinn and it wasn't just for her excellent Cheerleading skills. Sue knew what she was doing when she tailored her Unholy Trinity.
"I…I w-wasn't…I…" Emily stuttered looking embarrassed and still terrified that Brittany was going to like smack her down any minute.
"Stop" Brittany held her hand up and Emily quickly nodded and stopped trying to talk
Brittany softened her voice but her eyes still looked threatening.
"Whatever you think or hope might happen with my wife will never happen. So in everyone's best interests this…thing you have for her ends now. Do you understand?" Brittany asked
Emily could only just nod.
"Great, now would you like to come in for a coffee?" Brittany asked as she gave her a sweet smile
Emily had no idea what just happened and she wasn't sure if this was some kind of trap because one minute Mrs. Lopez-Pierce looked like she was ready to unhinge her jaw and swallow her whole and now she looked like the sweetest creature to ever walk the earth. It was a little terrifying.
"Hello? Earth to Emily" Brittany chuckled
"Um…n-no that's…I'm fine…I have…work" Emily stuttered
"Oh ok…well thanks for bringing Santana's briefcase over she would have gone crazy if she thought she lost it." Brittany replied with her sweet smile
"Ok…um…well…bye" Emily gave her a small wave and an unsure smile before she handed over the briefcase and pretty much ran back to her car.
Brittany just chuckled to herself as she watched the young woman run away.
"That was mean….and yet incredibly sexy" Santana muttered from behind her wife
Brittany just smiled
"I'm just like that song" She shrugged
"What song?" Santana asked in confusion
"I'm the devil in disguise" Brittany winked
Santana just laughed then stopped when she noticed her wife was glaring at her
"What?" She asked nervously
"Next time…I don't want to hear it from your assistant that you were at her apartment last night" Brittany replied with a hint of anger.
Santana's face dropped and she immediately looked guilty and sorry.
"We just needed a place to finish the paperwork" She quietly told her
"Like I said…I don't want to hear it from her" Brittany repeated
"I'm sorry" Santana sighed
"So you should be" Brittany replied a little sadly.
~~~ Breaking And Entering ~~~
Becky snuck into Valerie's classroom after she waited for the rest of the staff to leave for the day. It was late and the sun was making its journey out of the sky making way for the moon to do its thing. Her heart was beating fast and the adrenalin was pumping through her veins as she made her way into the room. She left a book on the floor to keep the door open just in case she needed to run. She had probably seen too many TV shows and movies about this but she had so many scenarios going through her head right now of everything that could possibly go wrong so she needed her escape routes.
Every five seconds she was looking over her shoulder making sure no one was there as she crept up to Valerie's desk. She didn't really expect to find anything too incriminating in her desk because she didn't think she would be that stupid to leave it at school but it was a start.
Her hands were shaking ever so slightly as she began to open the draws and carefully sift through them she wore her black leather gloves so she didn't get her fingerprints over anything. She had seen enough crime shows to know to wear gloves. Like she suspected there wasn't anything out of the ordinary in the draws just school and stationary supplies. With a heavy sigh Becky made sure everything looked normal before she closed the draws back up. She then made her way over to the big filing and storage cabinets. Once again it came up with nothing. Becky was about to give up and get the hell out of there when she noticed a small trunk sitting off to the corner behind Valerie's desk. She had never seen it before in any of the other classrooms and she hadn't really noticed it till just now. It was slightly hidden away by some boxes of textbooks. She didn't know why but she just felt something tell her to go and look at what was inside.
She carefully opened the lid and looked inside. There wasn't much in there except for the old Christmas party flyer and some spare coins, a spoon and a small bottle of pills. That caught Becky's eye. She picked it up and read the label.
"Flunitrazepam?" She read out loud in confusion
"Why do I know that?" Becky asked herself as she tried to remember where she had heard that before
But there was no time to remember because there was a noise outside in the school hallway, which freaked the blonde out so she quickly pocketed the bottle, closed the box and quickly ran out of there.
~~~ The Day The Music Died ~~~
Rachel was in her choir room at the high school where she worked she was currently going over the possible set list for her Glee club's regionals competition as well as figuring out what the new school musical they would be doing this year. She was torn between doing the ultimate classic West Side Story and some new musical that all the kids were talking about these days. It was a tough decision. She also had to decide who to give the main solo too. There was a lot of arguing going on about who should get it and there was even a good old fashioned Diva-Off which just made Rachel smile thinking about her own Diva-Offs with Kurt and Mercedes.
Rachel's musings were put to a halt though when her phone rang at first she was just going to ignore it because she really wanted to get this sorted out before Glee started but she decided to just answer it and then get back to work.
"Hello? Oh hi dad how…"
Rachel was cut off by the tone in her father's voice a feeling of dread filled her heart as she heard what her father was trying to tell her. Rachel sat there frozen to her chair as she listened, her eyes beginning to fill with tears and her throat was beginning to constrict as she held back her emotions.
"Thank you for telling me…I'll be home soon…I love you daddy" Rachel whispered into the phone.
She carefully placed her phone back down onto her desk and looked around her choir room feeling lost and trapped in a room that always made her smile. She was startled when the loud bell rang out and several of her students came into the room ready for their lesson. The Glee club was pretty big a lot bigger than New Directions ever hoped to be. Rachel had roughly thirty students it was hard work sometimes but much like New Directions Rachel's students were like one big family. They all looked out for each other and even though they fought a lot they were pretty much all best friends. She could see herself in some of them as well as her old friends. There was the bitchy Cheerleader that just screamed Santana 2.0, there was the goofy but sweet guy who reminded Rachel of Finn and then there was Amber who definitely reminded Rachel of herself.
It was Amber who noticed their teacher was not at all ok. Rachel would usually greet them all as they came in with a big smile asking them how their day was but today she just sat on her chair looking lost and visibly shaken.
"Mrs. Fabray…are you alright?" Amber softly asked with concern
Rachel looked up at her student and for once she didn't know what to say. Amber just looked worried and so did the rest of her Glee club.
"Amber I…c-could you please go get Coach Pierce for me?" Rachel quietly asked
The girl nodded and quickly left the room to go find the Cheerleading coach. It didn't take long because the choir room was pretty much right next to the gym. Brittany followed Amber into the choir room with a worried look on her face the girl had told her that Mrs. Fabray did not look good. Once Rachel saw her friend she finally found her legs and got up to move towards the tall blonde. Brittany told Amber to go sit down as she pulled Rachel to the side just outside the doorway.
"Rach what's wrong?" She asked
"Brittany I…I need to call Quinn" Rachel mumbled as a few tears began to fall
"Ok…I'll look after your class." Brittany offered looking concerned because she hated seeing her friend look this upset. It reminded her of how she looked when Quinn was in the hospital.
"Thank you" Rachel muttered before she turned to leave and head to her office.
Brittany watched her go with a sad look and a bad feeling in her tummy. She wanted to go after her and make sure she was ok but she couldn't just leave the children alone so she headed inside the choir room and just hoped her friend was alright.
Rachel quietly closed her office door and picked up the phone dialling Quinn's number and waited for her to answer. She was pretty much going through the motions she didn't know what to do she just knew she needed her wife right now.
"Hello?"
Quinn's soft sweet voice came through the phone and Rachel couldn't stop herself if she tried she couldn't answer she just cried.
