Rachel Mickealson
Part 4
Damon was worried about Rachel. He hadn't heard anything from her in days and she didn't answer his text messages. Rebecca told Stefan that "it's just high school, you know how it is… teenagers being teenagers…", when he asked Kol, he just said "It's girl things…" and when he finally asked Klaus the man told him he didn't have time to talk about it, that he had to go to an important PTA meeting. Not wanting to wait any longer to hear some more lies, Damon told Stefan it was time for another visit in Lima.
Rachel was seating in a chair in her garden when Klaus came to seat next to her:
"Sweetheart, why don't you want us to tell Damon what happened? He is getting very suspicious and restless…" Klaus said as he sat in a chair in front of her.
"I just have this feeling that if he finds out what Puck did, he will hurt him… He is so protective… I don't even understand why…" She answered him.
"Well, I have a feeling that he will be here soon… You're going to have to tell him what happened." He said.
"I know…but I don't understand why it's so important that he finds out the truth…" she said as Klaus got up, kissed her forehead and said:
"It just is." before he went back inside the house.
Santana was kind of sad for her friend Rachel but also for Puck.
The boy had gone back to skipping classes and having sex with cougar and random girls, Rachel was concentrating on her schoolwork and her singing. She spent hours helping her fellow gleeks with their own singing or their dance moves. When in glee club, they simply ignored each other.
Of course, everyone knew for sure that Puck still cared for Rachel because the last time Jacob Ben Israel bothered her he ended up covered in slushy and thrown in the dumpster by Puck. She had her proof that Rachel still cared about Puck when she covered for him missing one to many classes and prevented him from getting another detention. At that moment, she could catch them looking at each other like they used to, but the memories always came back too soon and they would start frowning and ignoring each others.
What nobody knew is that she had been leading her own little investigation with Brittany, Rebecca and Quinn. They didn't say anything to Rachel but had Klaus' support. Sadly, after weeks of investigating, all she knew was that nobody knew who the woman was. She had rented the house under a false name and the description Puck made of her didn't help at all.
Suddenly, as she walked by Jacob's locker as he was getting a book for his next class, she caught a glimpse of a picture she saw for sure Rachel burn. It was Puck and the mysterious woman. She rushed to him, called Rebecca who was in the same hallway and while the blond Mickealson held the boy in place, Santana searched his things. At that moment, both Rachel and Puck walked in the hallway from different sides. They both walked toward the commotion and asked what was going on. While Rachel's eyes zeroed on the picture that brought her her first heartbreak, Noah looked livid and started shooting questions at the boy.
"I needed a new camera!" Jacob shouted like it explained or justified anything.
"Somebody paid you to do this? Who was it? What happened?" Santana, Puck and Rebecca shouted at the same time.
Jacob pissed himself at that moment and started talking while other students in the hallway laughed at him.
"The woman in the pictures, she didn't tell me her name, she paid me well in cash. She asked me to stand out a few times when Puck was hired to come for her pool but since she couldn't seduce him she told me to take pictures of every time she was close to him! Nothing happened between them but she wanted Rachel to think so. She didn't tell me why and since Rachel didn't want to show me her panties I had no reasons to spare her!" he said.
Rachel gasped.
"Why? What did I ever do to that woman for her to hate me so much?" Rachel asked with tears in her eyes. By now, the whole glee club and a few others were in the hallway, watching and commenting what was happening.
"I don't know, she paid well so I didn't ask questions… She paid enough so I could buy the camera of my dreams and a new computer to update my blog better…I didn't care about her reasons…" Jacob said, looking terrified.
Nobody reacted fast enough to stop Puck from punching the boy in the face. With a bloody lip and broken nose, Jacob shouted:
"Why do you care anyway? You won't be getting her back now that you've been fooling around with half the girls in town!" Knowing the boy was saying the truth, Puck punched him once more in the eyes and walked away, furious and trying not to punch anyone else. He walked straight to the bleachers and stayed there; thinking furiously about what he had lost because of the awful boy who was a shame to the Jewish community. He had to find a way to make him pay…
He had been on the bleachers less than 10 minutes when he felt Rachel approaching him from behind. He could always tell when she was around because of her smell and the way it made his heart swell.
"I'm sorry Noah… it's my fault, I should have listened to your explanations…" she said as she sat next to him, a seat behind.
"Why didn't you?" He asked her without looking back at her.
"Every movie and book I've read had one lesson in a situation like this: If I let you explain yourself, guilty or not, I would have fallen in your arms and forgiven you… I didn't want to end up being the stupid girl people mocked…I tried to be the strong one…" She explained.
"I understand… My track record probably didn't help either…" He replied.
"Not really, no…" She said quietly.
"He was right though wasn't he? You won't take me back now…" It wasn't a question; it was more like a sentence he was confirming.
"I'm sorry… But can you honestly tell me you would be happy with me knowing I didn't listen to you when it mattered?" she asked him in a soft voice.
"I guess you're right…" he answered in a small voice.
"I would like for us to be able to spend time together as friends though… I do miss spending time with you…" she said in an insecure voice he hated to hear coming out of her mouth.
"I missed you too Rach." He said as he moved his arm to invite her to sit closer to his side. She did.
"I hope you won't get in trouble for punching that…thing." Rachel said.
"Don't worry about it, if he knows what's good for him he'll say he tripped and fell." Noah said. They stayed in a comfortable silence for a while before Rachel's cell phone rang and she told him she needed to go find Rebecca and Kol to go home.
Damon and Stefan had arrived at the house just in time to hear Rebecca calling Klaus to tell him that a weird creepy guy named Jacob Ben Israel had taken some tricky pictures that made Rachel believe that Puck had cheated on her. As they came in, Klaus hung up and explained to them what had happened and that Rachel didn't want Damon to know because she was afraid he would over react.
Deep down, Damon felt happy because it meant Rachel wouldn't be giving her virginity to this teenage Mohawk and the fact she didn't tell him was because she knew him well. But behind that happy feeling, he was sad that someone had tried to hurt his Rachel that way.
"What do you know about this woman?" Damon asked Klaus.
"Not much… We have a few pictures of the back of her head and a description Noah made, but nothing more…" Klaus answer with a hint of anger at the fact he didn't know any more than that.
"Do you think that woman could be the one Stefan and I have been looking for do you?" Damon asked, already knowing the answer.
"Of course I do… but we don't know much… The hairs could have been a wig or a colouration, the eye colour could have been contacts…We have nothing more…" They both raged and decided to burn some steam with a little game of basketball in the garden.
The rest of the day went without any other major incident for anyone. When Rachel got home, she immediately spotted Damon's car. She rolled her eyes as Rebecca shrieked with excitement and ran inside to greet Stefan. Kol wasn't with them, he had plans with a cheerleader… he was enjoying being a teenager. Rachel got in, thinking she would go in her room quickly before Damon saw her but it was too late. As soon as she stepped into the house, the sexy Salvatore was standing in front of her with a smile on his face. Was it possible for him to be even better looking than the last time? Aren't vampires supposed to be frozen, never changing?
"Hey Rachel! How are you doing?" Damon asked as she smiled back at him.
"Fine Damon… I didn't know you were supposed to come back yet…" She said as she gently put her bag on the foot of the stairs.
"Well, when I felt that something was wrong with you and that you refused to tell me what it was, I had to come and check it out…" he said as if it was obvious.
"Well, it's nice of you, really, but as you can see I'm fine!"
"Yes, you're fine now… You weren't fine before… I got here just in time to hear Rebecca telling Klaus about who took the pictures… he explained everything to me…"
"Oh… Well…everything is fine now!" Rachel said.
"Are you back to dating him?" Damon asked her as she started to climb the stairs for her room.
"No…not after what he did when we were broken up…He could have fought harder to make me believe, instead he got drunk and had sex with every willing feminine human…We're working on our friendship, but nothing more will come out of it…" She said without turning back. Damon could hear the grief in her voice and said:
"I'm sorry…" He really tried to sound believable…
"No you're not… You never liked the two of us together…But it's nice of you to say it anyway…" She said, briefly turning back to smile at him before going in her room to start on her homework.
Damon wanted to follow her but knew she needed time.
Stefan and Damon stayed only two days before they left again, more than never motivated to find the bitch that was going to hurt Rachel. Before they left, they had dinner all together.
"I got a phone call from Doctor Martin… There is a doppelganger living in Mystic Falls. She is Rachel's age. She seems to be different than Tatia and Katerina. Apparently she has a heart." Klaus said.
"So you'll be able to break the curse daddy! That's wonderful!" Rachel exclaimed.
"You realised that means he has to kill her right?" Stefan asked her, wondering why an innocent human girl was so happy about this.
"Of course, but nobody has to stay dead… I mean, why is magic for if not to help him keep sacrifices alive even after they have been sacrificed?" Rachel said, making Klaus smile with pride.
"I've send Elijah over there to look over things. He decided to stay away and look discreetly… I think he is afraid of falling in love with her too and having it bit him in the ass!" Klaus said. Rebecca frowned; she didn't like the thought of another doppelganger playing with her brother.
"Don't worry Rebecca, like I said, she seems far more human than the others." Klaus said.
Rachel suddenly looked at Damon from the corner of her eyes… What if he was to fall in love with this girl? She shook her head and went back to eat.
"What's her name?" Kol asked.
"Elena Gilbert. The Martins did a little digging and found out that she had been adopted. Her biological father is her uncle John Gilbert and her biological mother is a woman named Isobel Fleming, now married to an Alaric Salzmann." Klaus answered. Damon looked up from his plate.
"Isobel Fleming Salzmann?" Damon asked.
"Yes, that's the name I gave, why?" Klaus asked the young man.
"She came to me a couple years ago, asking to be changed. It was one of those moments when Stefan was with Rebecca and I was alone, drinking away the sorrow Katherine brought me… Anyway… She found me; she knew what I was and wanted to be changed. I didn't think and gave it to her…" He answered before he added "She was the head of the supernatural department in Duke.".
"Well, maybe I'll have someone look for her… She might be useful later…" Klaus said before they all went back to eat.
Rachel was in thought… Elena was adopted but her mother was still around… Where was her mother? What was she doing? Was she thinking about her?
"What do you know of my mother?" Rachel asked all of the sudden between beans and potatoes.
"Well, I didn't find much in the Berry's stuff… There was only an audition tape, only audio of a woman singing…and a small letter saying she wanted the job so she could live in New York and audition on Broadway…" Klaus answered her. "I'll give you the tape later if you want sweetheart!" He said, knowing Rachel was at an age were she needed a feminine presence other than a nanny or an aunt.
Later that night, after saying good bye to the Salvatore, Rachel listened to the tape. The woman was signing "I dreamed a dream". It was beautiful and the young girl had tears in her eyes. She called Quinn who was spending the night with Santana and Brittany and told them everything. Over the phone, she let them listen to the song and they promised to help her find out who the woman was.
The next day, when the others arrived in glee, they saw Rachel, Quinn, Santana and Brittany sitting around in circle with an audio tape playing.
"What's going on?" Puck asked.
"Shhh, we're listening to Rachel's mother." Brittany said.
"You know who she is?" Kurt asked as he joined them.
"Not yet." Santana said.
"I'm sure I've heard this voice somewhere before…" Mercedes said.
"I know, me too…" Kurt said.
"So have I…But I can't remember where…" Rachel said before she told them the hush and went back to listen.
When Mister Schuster entered the room, they stopped the tape before he could hear it and started practicing for the upcoming Regionals.
"Mister Schu, while I agree that Journey has done great music, we don't really relate to it and us singing all three songs by them isn't a very good idea. I personally think we should sing "Don't stop believing" and two other songs that we could write ourselves!" Rachel said. They discussed it for a few minutes before they all agreed that Rachel's idea was the best. However, they had to promise they would settle on Journey songs if they couldn't write songs that were good enough to compete with.
Quinn and Rachel decided to sit down together to write a solo song for Rachel with Santana while the group would write one for the whole group to sing. They were at Sue Sylvester's place, in Quinn's bedroom when Rachel said:
"I think we should try to see what Vocal Adrenaline is doing… We have kick ass lyrics but it might inspire us some music…" Santana said.
"Even if it doesn't inspire us, it might help us know we are up against…" Quinn said.
"We told our parents we would be here all afternoon… What will Coach Sylvester think when we sneak out to spy on the opposing team?" Rachel asked, not sure about this.
"I think it's a great idea and I'll be proud of you girls!" Sue said from the open door of the room.
It was decided that they would go right away. They took Santana's car and drove to Carmel High, snuck in their auditorium and watched as they rehearsed some Lady Gaga number.
"It's genius… Lady Gaga is perfect for them…" Rachel whispered as the coach of Vocal Adrenaline, Shelby Corcoran, interrupted them to tell them they weren't good enough.
"Let me demonstrate! Funny Girl, now!" Shelby said as everyone cleared the stage and she started to sing.
The McKinley students were shocked, they all recognized that voice to be the one on the tape… Rachel's mother was singing on stage right now… Slowly, Rachel started to stand when Santana held her down:
"No, Rachel, not now… We need to speak with your father first!" she told a disturbed Rachel.
While Quinn was walking Rachel outside, Santana took a picture of Shelby Corcoran singing and decided she would send it to her friend's father next time she saw him.
Silently, they drove to Rachel's house. When they arrived, Rachel was still silent and they walked with her to her father's office.
"Dad, do you have a moment please?" Rachel asked as she came in the room with Quinn and Santana in tow.
"Of course, come on in girls. Sit down, especially you Quinn." Klaus said, asking with a look what Rachel needed.
"Today, we snuck in the Carmel High auditorium to watch the Vocal Adrenaline rehearsing…" she started and hesitated.
"Well, it's not really right to spy on the enemy but I'm sure they do the same to other opposite teams…" Klaus said, telling his daughter he wasn't mad at him for spying…
"It's not all… Their coach, Shelby Corcoran… She started singing and… well…" Rachel couldn't continue so Santana did:
"We recognised the voice of Rachel's mother from the audition tape!"
"Are you sure?" Klaus asked.
"Yes, we are sure…" Quinn said.
"Have you talked to her?" Klaus asked, surprised and afraid to lose his daughter to someone he didn't know.
"No, Santana and Quinn thought it better to come and talk to you before I try to contact her…" Rachel said.
"Good initiative girls!" Klaus said with a small forced smile.
"I took a picture of her if you want to take a look." Santana said. She used Bluetooth to send it to Klaus' phone and to the printer.
"What do you want to do Rachel?" Klaus asked her.
"I'm not sure… We'll finish working on the song tonight and I guess I'll go to Carmel high tomorrow after school to talk with her… See if we can have a relationship or not." Rachel said.
"Okay then, tell me if there is anything else I can do for you!" Klaus said he the girls left and went up to Rachel's bedroom.
When he sat back down behind his desk, wondering if he was about to loose his own little star, his phone rang. It was Elijah, telling him that Elena Gilbert and her adoptive parents had a car accident and that the parents died. He managed to save the girl and was now keeping an even closer watch on her than before.
Damon and Stefan were investigating near Lima and they were now looking for a Shelby Corcoran who worked at Carmel High school coaching Rachel's competition. They had a hard time location her.
"Don't you find it kind of weird that she's the hardest to find so far and she's coaching Rachel's competition?" Damon asked Stefan.
"I didn't really think about it before you said it… You have a really good instinct when it comes to Rachel and her protection…" Stefan said.
"We should come back tomorrow when she's at the school." Damon said.
"Let's go inside and look at her schedule then." Stefan suggested as they both broke inside the school and into the principal's office. They easily found out that she would only be present from 2 pm the next afternoon.
"Let's go to the bar down town, I'm buying." Damon said as they got out.
"Hum…You know… Since we're near Lima…" Stefan started.
"I got it… You want to go spent the night with Rebecca…" Damon said with a smirk.
"I hope you don't mind…" Stefan said, trying not to make his big brother mad.
"Don't worry, go and have fun. I'll have a drink and I might follow you back to Lima and watch over Rachel while she sleeps." Damon told his brother as they left the Carmel High School and promised to meet again no matter what the next day around 2pm in that same parking lot.
The next day went by fast and while Rachel went to Carmel High, Santana and Quinn were in the football field, getting ready for cheerleading practice to start. Klaus had come to drive his daughter there, knowing she would call when she needed to be pick up.
"Rachel isn't watching you today?" Puck asked as he trotted closer to them.
"No, she found her mother, she's the coach of Vocal Adrenaline, and she went to see her." Quinn said.
"When did you find her?" Noah asked, surprised.
"Yesterday… here, I took a picture." Santana said as she showed the picture to the young man.
Puck was shocked and exclaimed:
"I have to go, come with me fast, we have to stop her! I don't know what the botch has planned but it can't be anything good!" He said as he ran to his car, followed by Quinn, Santana, Rebecca and Kol. He didn't say anything until he got to the Mickealson's. Klaus' car was back already. As Puck ran to the front door and opened it without even knocking, Quinn asked:
"Will you calm down and tell us what is wrong with you? I'm pregnant I can't run like that all the time you know…" Quinn was getting tired.
"Noah, what is going on?" Klaus asked as Rebecca helped Quinn into a sofa.
"The woman Rachel is seeing right now, I don't know if she really is her mother, but I know for a fact that she's the bitch that tricked me with the pictures!" Puck said angrily, trying desperately to convince them all to fix this.
"What?" Kol asked.
"Are you sure?" Rebecca asked.
"You all stay here and make sure Quinn is fine. Call Coach Sylvester and tell her you're here so she doesn't look for you. Puck, you come with me." Klaus said as they both ran to the hybrid's car.
"What are you going to do?" Puck asked the father of the girl he loved.
"I'm going to tell Rachel to go with you and while the two of you wait in the car I will demand that this woman explain herself." Klaus said in a tone that showed how powerful he really was. In that instant, there was no denying that Niklaus Mickealson was an Alpha male.
The anxious father was really mad and scared for his little girl and he was driving like crazy and in half the usual time they were parked in front of the auditorium. There was only one car left, Shelby's.
Not saying anything, the two men ran inside but were interrupted in the corridor by Damon and Stefan.
"Damon, Stefan, what are you doing here?" Klaus asked the two Salvatore brothers.
"The woman with Rachel right now, she was on Katherine's list… I don't know why she's playing nice right now but I've got a feeling she's planning on breaking Rachel's heart later…" Damon said with a mad look.
"What, who's Katherine?" Puck asked.
"Noah, it's a long story… I know you and Rachel talked about supernatural before the two of you broke up and you told her you were willing to believe… We will explain everything to you when we get back home but right now I need you to stay calm. When we all get in there, you grab Rachel and run with her to the car. Once in the car you lock it and don't open until Stefan, Damon or me come and get you okay?" Klaus asked urgently.
"Okay, no problem. I always knew you weren't really human… No problem, as long as Rachel is fine." Noah said as he followed them in the big auditorium.
Rachel and Shelby were sitting next to each other, talking about big gold stars. When the four men arrived, they both looked up and Shelby immediately got a scared look on her face while Rachel's was worried…
"Dad, Noah, Damon, Stefan… What are you all doing here?" She asked.
"Rachel, get away from this woman and go to the car with Puck now!" Klaus said in a 'do not discuss' voice he only used on her when her life was in danger.
Not asking questions, she knew that if Damon and Stefan were here, it meant Shelby was the woman Katherine had planed to hurt her. Shocked, she let Noah taking her arm and dragging her out in the parking lot. They locked themselves in the car while Noah explained what happened until then. When he was over, and since her father had already promised Noah an explanation, Rachel told him everything. She told him who her father was, what her family was, she told them about Katherine and what Damon and Stefan were looking for. The young man was pretty shaken and asked her a lot of question that she didn't mind answering, it helped her pass time while her father and her friends tried to get the truth from Shelby.
As soon as Rachel started to run, Shelby tried to make a run for it but was caught quickly by Damon.
"Don't you dare run away woman, we're not done with you!" Damon growled.
"I…I…I di…I didn't do anything!" Shelby managed to say over her fear.
"Stop playing around! We know you're working for Katherine and we know you're the one who faked the pictures with Noah so Rachel would have her heart broken and break up with him!" Stefan did. Klaus, it seams, was playing the silent scary and super angry dad.
"B…but…I…No…she…" She was panicking and could say anything because of the way she had been compelled.
"She's probably compelled not to tell us anything… Katherine knew how do tie her loose ends…" Stefan said.
"Yes, and she probably made sure she couldn't be compelled again… We need to dispose of her!" Damon added.
"Or we could put her away somewhere and have witches cleaning her memory…" Klaus suggested in a tone that said it was what they were going to do.
For the next half hour, they planed and called available witches. They ended up deciding they trusted the Martin's better and knew they would do what was asked. Damon and Stefan would escort the woman to Mystic Falls and stay there to make sure she got her memory cleared.
Klaus forced to write a resignation letter to Carmel High School saying she wasn't ft for the job anymore and needed to go somewhere else.
A little over an hour after she ran out of the auditorium, Rachel saw her father walking out toward her while Damon and Stefan dragged a reluctant Shelby toward another car in the Parking lot. When he got in his car, Klaus quickly told what had happened to the two teens before he drove them home. Rachel watched in the mirror as Damon and Stefan drove off and sighted. She would miss them, especially Damon. She knew she wouldn't see him again until they moved and felt saddened, especially since there was a doppelganger out there waiting to seduce him. shacking her jealous mind, Rachel turned her head toward her father again as he explained to Noah what she didn't have time to tell him or didn't think about telling him.
When they finally got home, Rachel had convinced her father that Santana, Brittany and Quinn deserved to know the truth and would be able to keep the secret, Puck confirmed that he believed then capable of keeping the secret. They entered the house to find Kol giving Quinn a foot massage. Brittany had arrived and was now on the sofa, between Santana and Rebecca.
"What's going on?" Rachel asked with an amused smile.
"Kol lost a bet. He's paying the price." Santana said as she moved to make place for the three newcomers.
"We have something pretty big to explain to you Quinn, Santana, Brittany… It's very important and the reason we're telling you is because Rachel trusts you to keep our secret." Klaus said.
"Are you a mafia king? Because that would be so hot!" Santana said.
Klaus looked confused and said a small: "No."
"Are you a fairy?" Brittany innocently asked while looking at Rebecca. Everyone smiled softly, knowing how innocent the blond girl was and Rebecca shook her head "no".
"Here is the thing… We are vampire…" Klaus started. He then proceeded in telling them the basics about what he was and what his family was. When he was done, he explained how he got Rachel and who Katherine was. Then he came to explain who Shelby was and why she tried to hurt Rachel.
After that, since the three girls seamed to be fine with the news, they ordered some pizza and did a little question and answer.
"So Kol, I was wondering, how is it to have sex with a vampire?" Santana asked. Rachel and Quinn blushed while Brittany showed her interest in his answer.
"It's the best, why, you're interested?" Kol asked. He was, after all, a forever horny teenager.
Santana and Brittany looked at each other before turning back toward him, holding fingers.
"How about a trio? You, me and Brittany… We'll even let you watch while we do each other!" Santana said, looking Kol in the eye.
"Wow Santana, couldn't you have waited until we were done eating to talk about that?" Quinn asked as Rachel rolled her eyes and Klaus laughed with amusement, knowing his little brother was about to have some fun tonight.
Kol stood up and mentioned for the girls to follow him. It was obvious he was over excited about that idea. Santana and Brittany both kissed Quinn and Rachel on the cheek to say good bye (or goodnight) and ran after Kol giggling.
"Let's put a very loud movie in." Rebecca suggested as they all nodded. No one wanted to know what was going on upstairs.
"It's amazing to know that there is a whole other world out there…Witches, werewolves, vampires… I can't believe it." Quinn told Rachel as they were with Rebecca and Puck out eating ice cream. Klaus had gone to a bar to escape the house and Kol's noisy adventures.
"It is kind of unbelievable… I'm surprised Klaus didn't kill me after the whole picture thing…" Noah said.
"Klaus has changed a lot since Rachel came into his life… he's much more patient and understanding…" Rebecca said.
"So wait, does that mean that you're over a thousand years old too Rebecca?" Quinn asked the vampire who nodded in answer.
"Talk about cougar… Didn't you say Stefan was changed in 1864?" Puck said with a smirk that could rival Damon's. They all laughed and kept on eating ice cream.
That night, Quinn and Puck slept over. Along with Rebecca, they all went to sleep in the living room together. They kept some low music on to try and cover the happy sounds coming from Kol's room.
"Well, apparently Santana and Brittany are having a good night…" Puck said.
"Yes, they seam to be enjoying themselves very much!" Quinn said.
"It's not possible for me to loose my virginity just by hearing them right?" Rachel asked with a bright red face.
Everyone laughed softly and they kept on talking a little before falling asleep.
The next morning, everyone was at the breakfast table when Kol, Santana and Brittany went down at the same time. It was obvious on their faces they had a lot of fun and really enjoyed themselves.
"You three had a good night?" Klaus asked in an amused tone.
"Oh yeah… Definitely doing that again soon!" Santana said as she stretched.
"I really liked to see his cute little fangs… especially when they…." Brittany started but was cut off by Quinn:
"Wow, stop right there Brit! We don't need to know that!"
"Well, I've got to say that Santana and Brittany together are something else… I'm open for more session whenever you want girls!" Kol said as he sat between his two most recent lovers. He would definitely enjoy spending more time with the two cheerios and together they had already agreed they would be officially together, the three of them. It wouldn't surprise anyone who knew Santana and Brittany and it would make Kol more popular among the boys of the football team.
Since it was Saturday and there wasn't school, they decided to spend the day together. While Kol was out with some of his friends, Rebecca, Santana, Quinn and Brittany went shopping. Rachel and Puck decided to do some talking.
"So, your father is a vampire…along with the rest of your family…What is the deal with Damon and you then?" Puck asked his ex girlfriend.
"Nothing, we're friends… That's it… He cares about me because he is my friends." Rachel explained.
"Rach, I've seen the way he looks at you, he wish you were more than his friends. Plus, from what I understand, he just spent a lot of time on the road trying to find some woman he knew nothing about…" Noah said.
"He volunteered to spend more time with his brother!" Rachel said.
"No, Stefan volunteered so he didn't let his brother do this all alone. Damon did this because he care a little too much about you." Noah explained to her with a smile.
"I don't think you're right Noah… Damon has never tried to flirt with me in any way…" Rachel answered him in a gentle way.
"That's because you're 16 going on 17 and he is 20 something going on forever not aging! He knows he just has to be patient until you get to an age a little closer to his." Noah told her, wondering how he was going to convince her to give him a second chance.
"You…I…he…No…I… I don't know what this is about…I… I don't think of him this way… I mean, he's hot and nice and all but he is too old…" Rachel said.
"Well, that's a good thing because I have been thinking…."
"Never a good thing!" Rachel joked.
"I think we should get back together!" Noah said in one breath.
"You what?" Rachel asked surprised.
"I know we've been through a lot and I know we can be good again together. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me and even if we're doomed to break-up at the end of the year so you can move to Mystic Falls with your father, I would love for you to be my girlfriend again for as long as you will have me as your boyfriend. If you have doubt about me, you can ask your father to compel me to say the truth and you'll see that I will never cheat on you… I can also promise you that shall we ever have another fight I'll wait for you to see I am innocent and fight for you to see it instead of sleeping around. I'll go to my classes and be the best boyfriend ever again, I promise you!" Noah had said all of this in one breath again and looked Rachel in the eyes the whole time.
"I…" Rachel tried to say but he cut her off.
"Don't say anything just yet… Just… Know that… I love you Rachel… I've never felt this for anyone else in my life and I don't want to mess us up." Rachel had tears forming in her eyes.
"Noah… I miss our time together so much… I know I shouldn't have been so scared of being made a fool of…I… I love you too…" She told him.
"So is that a yes to us dating again?" He asked her as he walked slightly closer to her.
"Yes, that's a yes." She said as she let him take her into his arms and kissed her.
Later that day, when everyone got back home, Rebecca had dropped Quinn to Sue's place and Kol and gone to Santana's with Brittany for some more fun. Of course, Rachel had texted everyone that she was back with Noah, right before she put it in her Facebook' status. All of their friends were super happy for the both of them. That night, Rachel and Puck went of their second first date at Breadsticks and they loved every single second they spent together. They made out on the porch for about an hour until they finally kissed goodnight.
However, that night, Rachel had a very hot dream that didn't involve her boyfriend Noah but the very sexy Damon Salvatore. Was she developing feelings for her good friend Damon while she just got back with the sweet wonderful Noah? Damon was in Mystic Falls right now, possibly screwing women or falling in love with the new doppelganger in date… What was she going to do?
