HELLO has been a long time I'm really sorry!

I finally have an idea for the sequel.

So here is another chapter, and I'm planning to end this story in a few more chapters.

I'm feel like I screwed up with this one, it was supposed to be shorter but I guess it was so long in my head that I think I just added more and more and I lost the thread of the story, so I'll make this sequel, much better than this one, now that I know what NOT to do lol XD.

So I hope you like the new story, it will be better in all aspects and I hope you like this chapter.

Thanks and enjoy!

obviously, GLEE is not mine.

I ran to the door with a gold star on it, I was excited, I'm dying to tell Rachel, I tried to calm down a bit, even when I feel free to enter and leave the house at will, I don't want be rude and just open the door without knocking first. The door is between closed, I try to normalize my breathing, I was about to knock when I realized I could see Rachel, she looked so pretty but ...

She was looking out the window, staring at something and she looked scared, I start to worry about her, is not the first time I caught her doing that, she didn't even blink and she hugs her body as if she was trying to protect herself from something . I don't understand many things about her, she was right, I don't know this Rachel, I see the old Rachel on her, but she has changed, don't get me wrong, I love her, no matter what, she could be a vampire and I could still loving her even if that means using a garlic necklace forever, and I hate garlic but if that's what it's needed to be with her, I wouldn't mind. But something about her behavior bothers me, something about it scares me, she looks out her window every day at the same time, at first I thought it was because she liked to watch the sunset or something, Rachel is a girl and girls likes that right? but then I realized she doesn't saw the sky,she looked toward the sidewalk, like if she was watching someone. Her behavior was variable, sometimes she was fine and sometimes she seemed terrified, but I always say myself that it was normal... but she keeps taking those pills which I'm sure are not vitamins.

I won't push her, Kurt said something to me that piqued my curiosity, something that Rachel had told him but...I want to hear it from Rachel,but I don't dare to ask her,it would be too much for me to handle now besides I promised to Kurt I wouldn't do it, apparently Rachel had asked him specifically not say anything to me, he's been very distracted lately and he just said it, I see him humming for himself around the house, I think it has to do with that boy who sees in secret, he thinks I don't know.

I cleared my throat to get her attention, I scared her a bit but then she smiled me warmly, I love that smile.

"Hey Finn, I didn't expect you this early." I saw her looking once again at the window before she closed the curtains sharply,avoiding the eye inward, or perhaps avoiding me to see outside?

"Are you okay? You seem upset." I walked up to her, I leaned a little and placed a small kiss on her plump lips.

"I am now." She took my hand and we sat on her bed.

Before I could ask anything else Rachel began to speak. "So how was your first day of therapy, Now, I know it's hard the first day and if you don't want to talk now I get it , but if you want to cry." She handed me a tissue box. "Feel free to do so." She said solemnly, her face changed completely, more relaxed.

She made me chuckle. "Thanks but I think I'm okay, I have had some experience with doctors and psychologists, I actually feel good, you know I think it is helping me." I say smiling. "That's what I wanted talk you about, I'm happy to have gone and this new doctor I have is better than I had before, at least this one doesn't see me like a madman all the time and doesn't treat me like a fool." I put the tissue box away." I don't feel like crap anymore."

"Finn, you're not that." Her voice is sweet, but a bit melancholy, gently passed her fingers over the scars on my wrists with a sigh.

I'm not so sure about it, I don't wanna worry her because I don't even know what's wrong with me, therapy moved something inside me, I have feelings I don't understand at all, even when it makes me feel good I'm not so sure what else I feel but I don't like it. All my energy was focused on Rachel and her welfare and that nothing affect her but now that she is better, I have nothing that distracts me and now I have to start dealing with myself, I have no more excuses.

But I try to changing the conversation. "Oh I almost forgot, here you go."

"What is this?" She took the invitation from my hands.

"This is the official invitation to the Hummel–Hudson wedding."

"Oh my god! your mom is getting married? That's amazing! ... Wait you aren't happy... you don't look very excited." Apparently she noticed my grimace.

I sighed." No, is not that, I'm happy for them, really." I really am. "Is a long time since I've seen my mom so happy, she smiles all the time and well when we moved with Burt it was only a matter of time, I think always knew they were going to marry, he is a good man."

"But."

"But I don't know, I don't want him replace my dad, I know that Burt and have discussed this before and everything but now I feel like I am bound, you know, I don't know if I'm ready for that, I like him and he has been good with me, he supported me, I can talk to him, he behaves like ... like

"Like a father?" She said softly

"Exactly, but I don't know... I never had a father figure, the closest I have is Mr. Shue, and I don't... want to betray my dad."

"Oh baby, you are not betraying anyone, I know how you feel, it's almost like I feel with Shelby, but why not take your own advice, remember what you said to me? Give it time, Burt is a great man and loves your mom and loves you, don't you think that's all your dad would want for both? you just need to get used to the idea and you don't have to call him dad if you don't want to and Burt will never replace your dad, I don't think he wants that and neither your mom."

I thought about it a moment." I'm happy to have you." My comment makes her smile.

"You're just starting a new family Finn, this is great news besides I'm here for you. I actually meant what I said, I'll take care of you." I kiss her softly.

"Yup, I think it will be good to everyone,they love each other right? And it will be interesting have Kurt as an officially brother. It's just... everyting is very overwhelming, therapy helped me but also gave me a lot to think."

"That's the idea." She said sympathetically.

"Want to hear an other news?" She looked intrigued. "My mom asked me to ask you if you wanting to be her bridesmaid."

"Really! Oh my god! of course, I would love it." She said cheerfully.

I can't help but laugh, she always is adorable when gets excited.

"You see, everything is getting better." Rachel's enthusiasm is always contagious. "We support each other babe, now come here." She said flirtily, making a gesture with her finger.

We spent the afternoon kissing, until I had to go home, I got lost in her arms and drowned any restlessness on her lips, it was easy not to think with her caresses and any concerns simply vanished from my mind and I just let her take care of me as I take care of her.

It feels good to be fine.

"Have you ever thought about shave your head?" Brittany asked bubbly to the brunette , like if it was the best idea ever.

Rachel took the strands of hair that the blond was combing gleefully, She was afraid that Brittany actually thought about shaving her head.

"You'd look super sexy." She said smiling.

Rachel looked at her timidly, in disbelief with a nervous smile, she looked at the lock of brown hair before answering but was cut off by the voice of Santana.

"Please, Berry can't be sexy, at least not with these clothes." Santana was snooping in the closet, stirring her clothes, looking disapprovingly, each garment inside.

"Santana for the last time I will not get rid of my clothes, I like my clothes! and now that I'm getting use to wear it again, I will not throw it away and for your information, Finn finds all my clothes cute and I'm no-

"Look Ray, I don't care how much Finn enjoys his Lolita fantasy or any fetish he has." Rachel blushed at the idea, but before she could answer the Latina continued.

"You need new outfits, that express the new you, and I think you have a great opportunity to show another side of yourself, the beautiful, sexy and daring Rachel to the world, in the barbecue that your dads are doing for you."

"My dads what"

"Didn't they tell you? Oh... whatever, you were going to find out anyway." She said shrugging her shoulders.

"Like ... like a party? ... no, I can't do that the last "reunion" I attended was a disaster ... I don't want that to happen again." She felt embarrassed remembering that night with Finn's parents.

"Rachy is not a reunion is a party, they are two different things." The blonde said, brushing her hair again

Both girls looked at her with a smile before returning to their conversation.

"Ray, the last time has passed, is in the past. Adios!, this is different, we all will be in the yard, we'll have a good time and if you get anxious or whatever, given that you are the party girl, you can go when you want and come back if you want, nobody will stop you."

Rachel bit her lip thinking about her options.

"Ray, there's nothing to worry about, it'll be fun, look, we go to the mall and buy at less a cute outfit for the party, and hang out with the rest of the girls." The latina tried to convince her but Rachel didn't look entirely convinced. "Berry look, I'll tell you a secret, and if you repeat it I'll deny it, but I think you're hot as hell, you just need to believe it, and not be afraid to be sexy."

Rachel blushed, the hottest and prettiest girl in the school thought that she was sexy?

"Yes, Rachy, I also think you're sexy, sometimes I imagined you naked or dressed like duck, I like ducks."

Santana couldn't contain a small laugh to the comment of her girlfriend, but she doesn't like the idea of Brittany walking around imagining naked people who wasn't her.

The brunette looked at the two girls. The two most beautiful girls thinks she is sexy!

"It's just that ... I like my clothes but ... I would like try something new, a different kind of dresses ...It's just that I never dress in a more attractive way because I don't feel like an attractive girl or... sexy." Whispered ashamed. "I'm not like you."

"Rachel." The latina began. "You're an attractive girl, didn't you say you wanted to start from scratch, a fresh start means that, you know, new life, new vision of yourself, new attitude, new look."

"New clothes." the blonde said in a melodious way .

The brunette laughed nervously, before accepting the offer, she didn't lose anything by trying. "Okay I will." She finally said, she liked her new friendship with the two cheerleader.

"But wait" She had forgotten about something very important. "Where is Quinn? She hasn't come with you to see me for a while, she told me that she would come today." Brittany and Santana shared a strange look.

"We haven't spoken to her a long ago, the blondie, has been ignoring us." Said irritated the latina.

"You haven't seen her?" The brunette asked worried.

"No, but maybe she got lost in the sewers like me last summer."

Rachel ignored the comment of the blonde. "I talk to her almost all the time, she sounds ... different, I thought maybe you would know what's going on with her."

"We aren't in good terms now, we had a little discussion. She has behaved in a bitchy way and we haven't talked since then." Santana said shrugging her shoulders.

Rachel noticed that both girls missed their friends, even if Santana didn't accept it.

It was when the door of the room opened revealing a very, very changed Quinn.

"I'm here." She said dryly entering the room, the three girls looked at her stunned.

" Fabray what the fuck!" Rachel covered the ears of her small kitten curled up in her lap, she didn't want to submit it to the wild vocabulary of Santana.

"Did Lord Tubbington convinced you to smoke that thing with him?"

Quinn didn't seem like Quinn Fabray, the beautiful blonde head cheerleader, she looked like someone else, her blonde hair was dyed pink and short, tousled, with a piercing in her carved nose , smoking eyes and black baggy clothes that was revealing her new figure. Who would ever have thought that after having a baby she might have a stomach so firm. The blonde was still beautiful but seemed angry and rebellious, scruffy. It seems Rachel wasn't the only one with a new beginning.

Quinn ignored the other girls and just went to Rachel. "I am glad you're okay." She simply sat down abruptly, almost rudely, between Brittany and Rachel, the brunette could swear she saw a tattoo on the lower back on her perfect skin.

"Wow Britt, you were right, Fabray finally found her way out of the sewers. Welcome to civilization." Santana spat

Quinn looked disgustedly to the latina. "I don't come to see you, I just came for Rachel, I'm not glad to be in the same room with you".

"So Quinn." Rachel interrupted before they started a fight. "Your new outfit is ... Interesting, a radical change." She tried to be friendly and calm the atmosphere.

"It's just who I really am, I finally found myself, through many changes this is me." Rachel looked a little worried but tried to smile, not wanting to offend her.

"I'm just letting flow my being." Quinn responded when she saw the face of the brunette

"And where exactly that fluidity got stuck?" Santana laughed sarcastically, Rachel's attempted to keep the peace had failed.

Quinn glared at her but she couldn't intimidate the latina. " Your new friends with whom you replaced us should be proud of you, they finally brainwashed you, congratulations, you're a walking disaster, you're one of them ... how they call ... oh yeah, 'The Sluts'"

"The Skanks." Corrected Quinn angry. "They accept me for who I am, I'm not the pretty blond girl and good and I have no ambition to be popular or to be a cheerleader and I'm not shallow like you."

"Whatever, Is there any difference?." Santana rolled her eyes and walked back to the closet.

Just when Rachel thought that the awkward moment was over.

"You know, it's funny that you call them that, being you the girl who spreads her legs to the first guy that buys her food, oh god wait, what I'm saying, you spreads your legs to anyone who smiles you, if you could keep your legs closed for five minutes it would be a record."

The room was silent, the latina radiated anger and by the way she looked at Quinn, Something told Rachel that Santana was about to go all Lima Heights on Quinn.

"It finally happened, all that breastmilk went up to your head. You know, if I had known that you would become in a scruffy bitch, I would never have suggested you a haircut, you're so desperate for attention that you forget who are the ones that supported you when you needed it, if you want turn your back on the people who have been with you, fine, but don't pretend that we are the problem. Grow up Quinn!"

It was hard to read the expression of Quinn but by the way she looked at Santana, she seemed angry but also hurt.

"I'm out."

"Fine go ahead, we already have a screwed up head to deal with , we don't need yours."

When she went to open the door and make her dramatic scene Rachel stopped her.

"Quinn wait." The brunette took her wrist to prevent her to go. "Please stay, I need you here, I hardly see you ... You said you were going to be with me when I need it you ... please"

The punk looked at the pleading eyes of the girl, she had just gone for her, she nodded reluctantly to stay. Rachel smiled victorious, the two girls hugged and sat down again on the bed.

The tension was feeling in the air, it was almost palpable and finally after a few minutes of uncomfortable silence, Rachel decided that was enough.

"Santana, Brittany and I were talking about a small party, which I just found out that my dads are planning , you are of course invited, and we were planning a makeover for me." She said cheerfully.

"Yup, but I think you're not the best person to ask for right now." Santana scoffed.

The brunette scolded at Santana with the gaze. The Latina rolled her eyes. "Look, I don't mean to be a bitch ... well actually I do."

"Stop the violence." Brittany scolded. "I don't like when you fight, you two supposed to be friends, so act like friends."Brittany looked at Santana "No matter how horrible your friends look."

Quinn "appreciated" the attempt to Brittany, the problem was not really her, it was Santana, it just that none of them fit now in her new life, she was only willing to make an exception with Rachel.

Meanwhile

Santana stopped only for the dancer and the little brunette, She really didn't care about Quinn, or at least that was what she was repeated herself.

Both "pact" an implicit truce with the look, the only reason they were in the same room was for Rachel, so they tried tolerate each other for that reason.

"So when is the party... when you're going shopping." Quinn tried her best to make the brunette happy.

"Well we can do it tomorrow, the party is this Saturday ... we can go ... tomorrow." Santana was also trying, trying not to make any sarcastic comment.

"That sounds great to me." Rachel was happy that the bad moment was over." I'm calling Finn for asking if he can tomorrow." She took out her cell phone but before she could even mark the number Quinn snatched the phone from her.

"What, now you need his permission?"

Rachel was confused. "No ... Of course not, it's just ... I wanted ask him if he can join us." She said innocently, trying to get back her phone..

"Ray, he can't come with us." Santana intervened, forgetting her problem with the blonde. "I am surprised that you even thought about it. it's just us and Mercedes, Tina ... just ladies and well Kurt... I thought it was clear."

"Yes, is like ladies fashion night out . ... but in the day." Said the dancer

"No ... I can't go without him... Finn wouldn't mind going with us." She tried to convince her friends.

"Sure you can, you will go with us." Brittany said encouragingly. "It will be fun."

"No I- ... I know I'll go with you but ... I can't ... Finn is the only one with whom I been out of home. ... I need him." She had to convince them.

"I'm sure that the giant would love to see you trying on dresses for him all day but it is assumed that you are recovering your life. Why you wanna tie you to frankenteen?" Santana said

"Rachel, why Finn no longer sleeps here with you?" Quinn knew the answer, the brunette had told her but she wanted her to say it out loud for her to noticing. "Do you remember what you told me?"

Rachel fiddled with her hair. "The doc ...the doctor advised our parents that ... we shouldn't spend so much time together." She whispered.

"And why is that?" Quinn pushed.

Rachel looked at the three girls, she felt cornered, but she knew that Quinn was right. "Because ... so not to develop a co-dependent relationship."

"Exactly, both are very united ... and that's okay, but you are beginning to act as if your lifes dependent on the other, both need to heal and be independent is the first step, is not that what you wanted?" Quinn questioned.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but this thing formerly known as Quinn, is right." The blonde rolled her eyes. "You two are in love, I get it, but if you want to be with him in a 'healthy' relationship and be able to share together and all that shit, you should start being more like lovers and less like Mama Bear, trusting others especially in yourself, it gonna be the best for both."

Rachel looked at her pink carpet on the floor before she could look at them again."I know ... but you don't understand me ... I ... I just feel safer with Finn ... He helps me ... I just ... I understand why you are saying this but ... I'm scared and I want him with me, he's the only one with whom I feel protected out of the house, not even with my dads feels that way and I don't know if I can do it without him, even if I want to." She said embarrassed.

"It wasn't just Finn, even when you're convinced otherwise, it was you, only you, you did the hard work, you overcame your fear because you wanted to and you can do it again." Quinn took her hand as she spoke.

"Rach, look, we may not be Finn or as tall as him, but I assure you that you're as safe with us as with him." Brittany said.

"Come on, I swear you gonna have a really good time, we can put a whistle around your neck with his photo if that makes you feel safe ... Hell I'll put a whole SWAT team around you if you wanna it." Santana said.

She chuckled "I don't think that's will be necessary ... alright I'll do it, I can do it ... but ... If I want to... can we go?" Asked doubtful, playing with her hands.

"I swear." Santana put her hand on her heart.

Brittany offered her little finger as a sign of promise that the brunette happily accepted.

"Great, I'm calling Kurt."

"I still don't understand what the problem is." Finn said, he was frustrated and tired of following Kurt around the house without receiving an answer he could understand. What was wrong with everyone? He wasn't doing anything wrong

"Finn, how many times do I have to repeat it? It's the best for both." Kurt was beginning to lose patience.

"I'm not asking you to let me go with you, I want Rachel to have fun and all that, all I ask is that you call me to let me know if she is okay, if needs something, I don't see what's wrong with that."

"What are you her dad? I told you, I won't call you and don't you even think of calling her, I confiscated her phone. Hell Finn it's just the mall, we aren't taking her to the other side of the world, we'll back in the afternoon."

"Kurt, I just want her to feel safe and know that I am lookout for her, and what happens if she has a panic attack? I could tell you what to do"

"Finn, we already know what to do if that happens, her dads agree with this and even they aren't as paranoid as you." He checked his watch, it better Rachel hurry up or he won't be able to take Finn off him.

"You don't understand, I'm her boyfriend who loves her, I just want to take care of her."

"We all understand that, but Finn, she's not made of glass, nothing will happen to her.
You keep telling her how strong and courageous woman she is but you don't treat her like one. Don't you trust her?"

Finn stopped short, Kurt's comment had reached him loud and clear.

"Finally! Apparently he understood." Before Finn could say something, Kurt spoke again. "Look, you're my unofficial brother, so I'll be honest, I love you, I love Rachel and I know what she means to you, but please, enough with the act of overprotective boyfriend, is irritating and is affecting you and is affecting Rachel too. She is doing so well, don't make her going back." He smiled at his brother. "Start acting like a normal boyfriend and stop worrying so much, you're wrinkling."

Santana rang the claxon of Kurt's car desperately. They had gone to pick up Rachel to her house, Finn had insisted on accompanying them, Tina went up to help Rachel to prepare and Kurt waited down stairs, trying to reason with Finn, it had already spent more than 10 minutes and it was clear that Santana was already growing impatient.

"We are coming!" Kurt shouted opening the front door.

The Latina rang again the claxon in response. Luckily Shelby had taken Beth to a walk to the park and Messrs. Berry went to fix things about their jobs,they were planning to return to their daily lives.

He looked back at Finn who looked thoughtful.

"Hey, all right if something really bad happens, that it won't , I'll call you and I'll send you a message when we get there and when we were on the road back here, deal?"

Finn nodded, still without an expression on his face that he could read.

" But you still can't call her and if this goes well, maybe we can convince her dads and her to come back to McKinley at the end of the summer." He said smiling, hoping cheer him up.

"Oh thanks, what took you so long?" He asked to the two girls when they finally came down.

"Oh, we just had a motivational talk, but everything is fine now, right Rachel?"

The brunette nodded sharing a knowing smile with Tina.

"Well, I'm glad, now if you'll excuse me I have to go back to the car before Santana loses it!" Kurt ran off but not before saying goodbye to his brother.

Tina also said goodbye to Finn and waited for the brunette outside to give them some privacy.

"Hi." The brunette said timidly approaching to him.

Finn stared at her, she was looking at him with her sweet, big brown eyes full of light and finally realized Kurt was right but that doesn't make it any easier, He couldn't relax without knowing that she was fine but he could try. "Hi, are you nervous?"

"Yes, I wasn't feeling like this for some time but in a good way, I mean, I'm glad that I accepted, I missed this." She said cheerfully. "The only thing I don't like is that I won't see you and be with you the whole day, I would really like you to come with us, not only because I feel safer, I like being with you, I love you."

"I love you too... What will you do?

"Well, I'll wait for your mom back to tell her that you left and everything is fine, I'll go back home and I think I'll play Xbox and maybe call Puck to hang out." He shrugged his shoulders,but the truth was he doesn't know what to do other than wait anxious by the phone.

Rachel nodded. "Kurt will not let me call you,will be the longest time I've ever been without hearing your voice." He took her hand and lovingly stroked her knuckles.

"I know it will be ... new, but still, you can call me at night and tell me how it was your day and what you did, how fun it was, we'll talk all night until we fall asleep, as always."

"Shhh, it's supposed to be our secret." Sh whispered.

Finn chuckled before whispering. "I know, we can, you know, do what we did last night, agree how we go to sleep, like the time I fell asleep behind "you" and I put a pillow and hug it and pretend it was you and you did the same but put all your stuffed animals behind you to look like me because I'm very tall." He awkwardly to hide how nervous he was.

The brunette laughed before putting her finger to his lips to stop him from talking. "I remember, god, we are so silly ."

He laughed. "Yup, you better go they are waiting for you." The brunette nodded smiling and a little sad of separated from him, but she knows that is the best for both, to start doing things separately, no matter how hard it is.

"I love you, okay? He leaned down and captured her lips in a sweet kiss goodbye until the claxon sound made them be separated, Rachel ran to the car.

"Finn?" He turned and saw that Tina was still there.

"Hey, I thought you were in the car." He said confused.

"No, I ... just wanted to say, I know what Kurt said and I know why is all this, but I also know what it is being in love so in the name of love, you can call to my phone if you want to talk to Rachel, I won't tell if you don't tell."

Finn grinned. "Thanks Tina, you are a good friend."

They said goodbye and as he watched the car go away and disappear into the distance, he thought in Tina's offer and even when it was tempting it was, he wasn't going to accept in the name of love too, just hoped for the best.

But before closing the door on the other side of the sidewalk, Finn saw someone hooded watching him from there and didn't like what he felt when he saw it.

Finn couldn't see his face, he couldn't tell if it was male or female, but for some reason he felt like he had seen it before. He tried to focus his gaze to see it more clearly the noise of something hitting the ground did he turn.

It was Rachel's little cat, apparently had thrown a glass cup from the table and fled upward.

When he looked back again, the sidewalk was empty.

He stared, waiting for something to happen, but it never happened.

Finn sighed and closed the door, he started to clean up the broken glass from the floor.

He looked at the closed-door, thinking about what he saw. "Am I going crazy?"

The road to the mall was quiet, at least for Rachel, everybody were talking and laughing, it took her a while to included in the conversation and without realizing she started to feel like before, she felt normal and good just relax and be with her friends. Maybe and just maybe, she did not need Finn to feel good after all, at least not for everything.

When they get to the mall, everything became a little more difficult for her, as was normal the mall was crowded, the instinct of Rachel told her to run, but she decided against it, she took a deep breath and walk after the others, Tina noticed her discomfort and took her arm to make her feel safe.

After walk around the place she started to relax more and more, and even when she hadn't bought anything yet, she was having fun and was able to relax and she could let go Tina's arm but she stayed close to her in case.

Everything seemed something new and she liked it, everyone had already bought things, Kurt was about five bags in each hand, and when they were about to go into ANOTHER shop, a little shop caught her attention.

Rachel left the others and went to it, small necklaces and bracelets were displayed but what interested her was section with a small sign: LOVE RINGS, it had rings placed in pairs with different prints on them. It was perfect for her and Finn. Rachel analyzed through every row of rings until she chose the right ones. the ones of gold color , with figures that seemed like branches that formed a heart to join both. Yes it was cheesy but she thought that Finn would love it.

"No way, really? we toured shops with beautiful things and the first thing you buy is a ring for Finn." The brunette turned her head and saw Mercedes looking at her with a mocking smile.

"Not just for him, it is for me, and I'm supposed to buy what I want and I want this." She smiled and paid by the rings.

"That is super ridiculous." Quinn said approaching them with the others.

The brunette rolled her eyes and put the rings in her purse. "It's not ridiculous, is romantic." The brunette said.

"Whatever you say." Santana said boring.

"Keep walking ladies I still have to choose you clothes." Kurt shouted, they followed him through the mall,but when no one noticed, Santana returned to buy rings for her and Brittany before reaching the rest of the group.

After an hour of walking, Rachel was tired and even when she had only bought a couple of cute dresses with matching shoes, she was very satisfied with her purchases. Her friends had been advanced to eat something, but she stayed behind watching a pink night dress in the window of a store, it would be the perfect dress for her prom night. Rachel sighed sadly at the thought that maybe she would never have a graduation party.

When she went to catch up with the others,in the glass reflection saw the same figure that has plagued her for days,she turned quickly and saw the hooded figure watching her from afar.

She felt her heart race and tried to get away from it, even among the sea of people she could see him walking behind her, panic began to seize her and walked faster, it was right behind her and was about to catch her, and just whrn she felt it was her end, Rachel crashed into a man.

"Miss are you all right?" The man kindly asked when he noticed the fear in her eyes.

"I...I" Before she could say anything Brittany's voice interrupted.

"Rachel where were you? Are you okay?" Asked the blonde.

"I ... don't ... yes I'm fine." Rachel looked around for signs of anything but when she didn't find anything she relaxed.

"Come on, we're waiting for you, we ordered vegan pizza for you." She smiled taking her hand to lead her with others.

Rachel looked back one last time, but there was nothing. "I'm going crazy."

The phone rang at night, when the lights were off, Finn felt incredible relief and felt proud of himself for not having called Rachel immediately that Kurt walked through the door of the house that afternoon, he had controlled himself, he trusted that all was fine and he was quiet waiting all this time and finally his sweet little girlfriend was calling him, ran nervous to answer the phone and as quietly as he could returned to his bedroom and got under the covers to talk to her.

His mother wouldn't be happy when the phone bill came, because neither of them was going to sleep any time soon, they had a lot,a lot to talk about.

Thanks for reading!
