As soon as they came near the door, Kelly Donovan raised her eyes to them and smiled at her son:
"Hey Mattie, what's going on? How come you left the apartment? Why was the lock change?" She looked like she truly didn't have a clue and like he should have been waiting for her all along.
"Why don't you come in, we need to talk and it will be more comfortable in the living room!" Carole said, not liking the idea of that woman anywhere in her house but knowing she had to be a perfect hostess.
As the bad mother walked in the house, looking around the hall in a way that displeased Carole, Rachel and Caroline looked at each other. If they stayed, it could become awkward.
"I think maybe Caroline and I should leave…" Rachel suggested, thinking that leaving the family alone would be a good idea.
Matt and Tyler nodded while Carole called Richard and directed the woman into the living room so they could all talk. Tyler kissed Rachel goodbye while Matt kissed Caroline, only to have Kelly glaring daggers at her in what seemed to be pure hatred.
"Do you have a problem with my girlfriend mom?" Matt asked sharply, wanting to defend his girl before she left the house.
"I don't want to see you with someone like her! Her family…they're all the same!" Kelly whispered harshly.
"Well, I don't care what you think!" Matt replied before he kissed Caroline again and promised her he would see her later that night.
.
Rachel drove Caroline to her house and they spent some time together. Caroline didn't know why the woman hated her so much but she didn't really care either. She wasn't about to let someone like Kelly Donovan dictate her actions.
"They should totally form a 'bad mother' club or something! Kelly Donovan would definitely be president!" Caroline said.
"I'm not so sure about that… I think mine could run for this position." Rachel said.
"Why? I mean I've heard Matt and Tyler saying that she never wanted you but… You want to talk about it?" The blond cheerleader asked kindly.
"Hum… I've never really talked about it to anyone other than my dad and my godmother… It could be kind of nice… Her name is Shelby Corcoran… She met my dad at a bar one day and they had sex just this one time… They stayed in touch the next few weeks and saw each other every nights at the same bar… Shelby was looking for a way to be able to live in New York and be on Broadway… She needed money… When she found out she was pregnant she decided she didn't want 'it' and kept calling me 'the thing', 'the freak', 'the monster'…"
Caroline looked truly shocked:
"That's horrible!"
"Yes, well… She went to find my dad and asked him for money to pay for the abortion procedure… Of course daddy refused to kill me… He wanted me so much… He told her he'd pay her enough money to live an entire year in New York plus an apartment if she carried me to term… I think he was hoping she would grow to love me… he even moved in with her to make sure she really took good care of me during the pregnancy…"
"She never changed her mind did she?" Caroline asked.
"Nope, never… She gave birth to me and even refused to hold me or to even look at me… Daddy took me and told her where she could find us for the first 3 years if she ever changed her mind… She never came!" Rachel seemed truly sad and the emotion was tick in her voice.
"That's so sad…"
"Last year in Lima she was directing the Glee club that was our main competition: the Vocal Adrenaline."
"Aren't they champions?" Caroline asked.
"Yes, they are… She asked her main lead, Jesse Saint James to make me fall in love with him so he could influence me in wanting to seek her out… It worked… Until that day I never wanted to know more about her but he found the right words to convince me… Long story short I ended up finding her, coaching our competition… Then Jesse broke up with me and egged me with his team mates in the middle of a parking lot. Shelby was there and told me she could never want to get to know me because I was a monster…a freak… She had planed it all so I would be too broken hearted to compete at Regionals…" Rachel could feel the tears running slowly down her cheeks.
"I'm so sorry!" Caroline said as she hugged Rachel.
"It's not even over yet… A girl at school… She hated me for some reason and was pregnant… She put the child out for adoption and Shelby adopted her… A little girl named Beth!" Rachel said.
"What? Why?"
"I don't know… In an interview later Shelby said that she had always wanted a child and that she was happy to finally be given the opportunity… That she felt like a dream come true and things like that…" Rachel finished.
"Well, you're right then Rachel, Shelby Corcoran deserves the president position in the 'Worst mother' club." Caroline said with a smile.
After that they put on a movie and spent some girl time together. They weren't best friends, they were too different for that and Caroline still had Elena and Bonnie as Best friends, but they were friends, and that was enough for her.
