Chapter 3: Chapter 3

Rachel had left the blonde cheerleader in such a hurry, that she didn't even know where she was. She was near the park, which was about a mile away from her house. Rachel couldn't believe she was so far away from her house. She took out her phone to check the time. When she checked for the time she saw she had a text message. Opening it she saw:
Hey Rachel, it's Quinn. I want to apologize for the last comment I made. It was out of line. I stand by wat I said. Everything will stay between us. Plz call or txt me anytime if you need anything.
The diva was about to ask the cheerleader how she got her number but remembered she had called Quinn. She didn't know what to say, so she decided to ignore it. She sent out a text to someone else instead.
Hey you busy?
Rachel decided to take a seat at one of the picnic tables waiting for the response. She didn't want to go all the way home and have to turn around.
Homework, but I could use a break. Wat's up?
The diva smiled at the response.
Meet me at the café?
Rachel stood up and started to make her way out of the park.
BTI 10.
Once at the exit instead of turning left to go home, Rachel went right to meet with the only person she remotely considers her friend.

Rachel ordered herself a latte and took a seat at one of the tables waiting. She thought about doing some homework until her guest arrived, but when she was about to he walked through the door. He was still wearing the grey pants, and navy blue blazer with matching tie; that made up the Dalton Academy uniform.
"Hey sweetie," Kurt said walking over to Rachel. Rachel stood giving him a hug.
"Hey Kurt. How has school been since your victory?"
"Oh my god, amazing. People are practically bowing at our feet. It was a tie, but there is no other group I'd rather tie with. How is McKinley treating you?"
Rachel diverted her eyes. This is why she wanted to talk to Kurt. She was back to being completely alone.
"That bad?" Kurt asked.
"It's still bad. Still getting slushied and glee is still at the bottom. No surprise, I'm not sure that will every change even if we go to New York."
"What else is going on? You and Finn still fighting about the Santana thing?"
"Finn must not have told you. We broke up; actually he broke up with me?"
"What happened?" Kurt asked taking Rachel's hand.
"When we were fighting about what happened with Santana, Puck was the only one that actually came to my side. Well I sorta made out with him. When Finn and I made up, I told him because I didn't want there to be anymore secrets. Which according to Quinn he's being a hypocrite," Rachel said to turn the guilt.
"Quinn said that? How is Finn being a hypocrite, you mean he cheated on you or something?"
"Not me, but Quinn."
"Really? Do tell," Kurt asked leaning forward placing his chin on his hands.
"Well when Finn was still dating Quinn I had seduced him once. I was helping him run scales. Then we made out a little bit, and he made his 'I'm going to come face' and ran out -"
"Wait going to come face?"
"Yes. I didn't know it at the time, but after dating Finn over the summer I learned his quirks. One of which he has a tendency to get excited very easily, from simply making out. It doesn't take him long to reach his climax, and when he does he makes this really weird 'O' face. It's actually kind of sad."
Kurt was laughing from his spot. "Oh god that's so embarrassing."
"Don't you dare tell him I told you that. He will kill me. What is discussed today is to stay between us ok?"
Kurt looked into Rachel's chocolate eyes, seeing the sadness and longing. "Ok, please continue."
"Ok. The other time was after I quit glee to do Cabaret. Finn took me out on a date, and pretty much seduced me. We had kissed and everything. Then first day back you told me that Quinn was pregnant. Finn used me to rejoin glee. I don't know his entire motives but he lied and cheated to get me back there. Now I don't want to be there anymore."
"Why? Is it because you didn't get the solo?"
A tear rolled down Rachel's face. The one person she thought she could talk to treated her just like the other members. Well with the exception of Quinn, which is really odd in her opinion. "No. I was actually really happy when we won without the need of my voice. It was refreshing. And come on. Quinn and Sam were adorable."
"They were I'll admit. So what is the real reason you want to quit glee."
"They all hate me. At least before I had Finn, I had one person that liked having me around. Now no one, I'm completely alone Kurt. I don't know how much more I can take." Rachel looked down at her hands as the tears began to flow.
Kurt watched the tears flow down Rachel's face. He knew that feeling of loneliness all too well. He may not have had a boyfriend but he at least still had friends in the club. He used to be one of the people that would moan and groan when Rachel opened her mouth. Thing started to change after the duet competition. When they sang together, and when Rachel had the girlfriends meeting. He found out about it later thru Santana. Now after leaving she had actually helped Kurt with his new glee club. They developed a small friendship based on their past sorrows.
Kurt reached over taking both of Rachel's hands in his. "Rachel? What do you mean by you don't know how much more you can take?"
Rachel didn't answer. She shook her head because she didn't want to answer the question. She feels like no matter what she did she was wrong. She just wanted to give up, she was tired of fighting.
"Rachel look at me," Kurt demanded. Rachel looked up making eye contact. "Are you planning on hurting yourself?"
Rachel took a deep breath and shrugged at the response.
"Rachel you are not alone."
"Yes I am Kurt."
"NO you are not. You have me. I am here right now sitting in front of you; talking to you, holding your hands. I know you were the one that had the football boys stand up to Karofsky for me. You helped me when I was walking in fear every day. Now it is my turn to help you. I am here Rachel. I promised everything will stay between you and me, and I keep my promises. Now I need you to promise me something."
"What?" Rachel whispered.
"Promise me you will not hurt yourself. If you get any inkling, you call me or the therapist you see."
Rachel nodded in response. "You know you're the second person to say that to me today."
"Oh yea who was the first?"
Rachel took out her phone and opened the text Quinn had sent her earlier. Kurt read it and was a bit surprised by the words on the screen. "So what happened between you and Quinn? I thought you two hated each other."
"First off I never hated Quinn. She made my life miserable for two years, but I never hated her. I was nothing but kind, with one exception when she joined glee. And I don't know. Something happened last week that changed her heart or something. It was like the How Grinch Stole Christmas. She saw me break down in the choir room. We had a discussion about her hating me, what happened between Finn and me, and how I could make friends. She admitted to not hating me, called Finn a hypocrite, and pointed out how I'm like Jesse, who has come the closest to me hating."
"Yea you and Jesse were a bad combination. The spotlight was not big enough for the two of you. He also used you," Kurt pointed out.
"Exactly. I didn't want to be like him anymore. So today at glee club I congratulated Quinn, Sam and Santana for their voices. And then Brittany and Mike for their dance moves. When I was finished everyone accused me of having some sort of angle. They all accused me of wanting something. After glee Finn came up to me asking me what my angle was and I just completely lost it; Swearing and the whole nine yards. Of course I was completely oblivious to Mr. Shue and Quinn still being in the choir room. I left and guess who followed me when I stormed out… Quinn."
"Quinn? Wow she must've really had a change of heart. What happened when she caught up with you?"
"We talked about the conversation Finn and I were having because she heard the whole thing. Then she thanked me because Finn and I helped Quinn and Sam come together. Then she gave me her number, telling me if I ever need to talk, or going to hurt myself to call her. When I was doubtful she had me call her number, which is how she got mine. Still being doubtful, I accused Quinn of being someone that would be happy if I was gone."
Kurt gasped at the comment. This confirmed that Rachel had indeed been contemplating suicide.
"She then turned it around because I didn't believe she cared. She was saying she'd only miss having me around as a human punching bag. That's what she was apologizing for."
"Would you feel better if I talked to her first?"
"What?"
"I'll talk to her. She's still on talking terms with Mercedes, and I use to hang out with her when she lived with her. I'll talk to her if you want. Find out if she is being genuine or not."
"Why would you do that?" Rachel asked in disbelief.
"Because it's nice to have at least one person at that school who has your back," Kurt replied giving Rachel's hands a squeeze.
"Thank you Kurt. I really wish we were closer before you went to Dalton. I really miss you." Rachel stood up, extending her arms for Kurt to fill the void with a hug.
"Me too Rachel," Kurt whispered into her ear.

Rachel was finally home and was getting ready for bed. She noticed she had a message and flipped her phone open to read it.
Kurt
Hey Rach. Remember ur promise to me. Remember u r luvd and tomorrow will b better. Xoxo
Rachel smiled at the text by her gay friend.
Thx Kurt. Good night.
Rachel was about to lie down but decided to send one more text instead before turning off the light.

Quinn was lying in bed waiting for sleep to come. She had been worried about Rachel all day. She was afraid she was going to hurt herself. After the things she said before Rachel left, that could've been the one thing to push her over the edge. She teased and tortured Rachel because it was expected of her. Before she was pregnant and again after with her being head cheerleader again.
She didn't want to continue to make the little diva's life hell, but it was so much easier to go with the social norms. There were only one and a half years left of high school. But she kept having this fear that Rachel would be one of the people who wouldn't make it. Knowing that she could be the cause made the blonde's stomach turn in knots.
She then heard her phone go off, signally she had a message. She was expecting it to be Sam, saying good night like he had been since she put on his promise ring. She didn't expect to see:
Rachel
Hey Quinn. It's Rachel. I got your msg. I am still leery about trusting u, but TY for the offer, and the apology. See u tomorrow.
Quinn smiled at the text. She was finally able to relax and let sleep win her over.
