A/N: So I couldn't help it! I just had to write this since I'm really angry at the writers of Glee and Ryan Murphy himself. So help me through the hiatus, I've started this story! I hope you guys like it!
Summary: Set after the season 2 mid-season finale. Rachel Berry is once again alone as 2011 arrives and she goes back to school. Not being liked by all of the New Directions members has hit her hard. So what does she do? Well, you need to read to find out! :)
Chapter 1: Its just Rachel against the World...
Wow, Winter break sure went by fast. The holiday festivities have come and gone and yet another year that Rachel Berry is alone. No Friends, No Dads and certainly No Boyfriend! I guess 17 years of spending her birthdays alone shouldn't feel so bad. She shouldn't feel this hurt, that no one from New Directions( minus Noah Puckerman) wished her a happy birthday. Nothing. No texts or calls. But what did she expect? They all made it perfectly clear how they felt about her during sectionals.
"Nobody tells you anything because A: you are a blabber mouth and B: We all just pretend to like you!"The voice of Santana as she said that still ringing in her ears.
The thing is, she tried to put everything behind her when the whole club was celebrating Christmas. She even told Noah to keep their mingling to a minimum, so as to not upset Finn anymore. Sure they talked on the phone and were on far better terms then before, but it did not stop her from missing that giant ex-boyfriend of hers.
Even though she's Jewish, so she doesn't have to celebrate the holiday.
She tried to be a team player but not a single person from New Directions noticed that she was trying to change.
And Finn made her feel so much worse after breaking up with her "officially".
" Oh, so the first time he was just pretending?" She thinks to herself and lets out a bitter laugh.
It's kind of ironic that even after hearing what happened between herself and Finn, Kurt, surprisingly sided with her.
"That stepbrother of mine is seriously demented!" He had told her when they had last talked on the phone.
Rachel confided in Kurt and told him what Santana had told her and he seemed shocked when she told him that like always she had done nothing.
"Seriously! For someone so talented, you sure need to stick up for yourself more!" and she had smiled at his concern.
So only two people seemed to care about her and had been nice to her throughout the whole Santana Debacle. And if she was being honest with herself, she wouldn't have believe it and totally unexpected.
How was it that in her time of need, only Noah and Kurt had been there for her.
"Oh Noah, he was actually nice when he wanted to be!" She thought, and let a smile appear before it quickly disappeared. Almost like it had never been there and with that her sobbing returned.
"Why did Finn had to go and have sex with that whore!" She thought angrily.
If Finn and Santana had never slept together, then he would not have lied and I wouldn't have found out. Clearly, there wouldn't have been any reason to kiss Noah and get broken up by Finn. Even when she wasn't entirely at fault, she was still apologizing! But what does Finn do? He acts like a baby and ignores me and says he needs space. Okay then, he'll get his space but if he ever wants to be with me again, I doubt that will happen. Finn Hudson has damaged my heart too many times.
It seemed like an eternity until she stopped mentally ranting and managed to controlled herself. Apparently, it had been just in time since there was a soft knock on the door. She frantically wiped her tears away before opening the door.
"Oh my Gaga!" Kurt shrieked once he took in Rachel's appearance.
"She has never looked like such a mess." He thought sadly.
"Hey Kurt" She says and tries with all her might to force a smile on her face. Hoping that it doesn't look to fake.
"Nice try, but you can't fool me Rachel" the flamboyant boy says and with that her whole facade drops instantly.
"I feel like shit." She mutters as she goes back to lay in her bed. For the first time in all her life, she doesn't care how she looks. What good will it do for her? Obviously she can never be on the same level as two bitches known as Quinn and Santana. So why even bother.
"Sure she's super hot..." Finn's voice reminds her why she can never feel beautiful. Finn Hudson doesn't love girls like me. The only ones that can satisfy him are cheerleaders. Rachel Berry was never good enough for him!
"I came to pick you up so we can hang out." Kurt say and snaps her out her depressing thoughts.
"I think I'll pass" She says but by the looks of it, he didn't leave any room to argue.
"She is going whether she wants to or not" the self-proclaimed diva thinks to himself.
"No, you're coming and that's final because you need to get out." he states and glares at her.
" I don't want to Kurt and you can't make me!" She exclaims but this boy has other plans.
"Puck told me to call him if you didn't listen to me." He threatens.
"That traitor, since when does he care about me and my well-being?" She questions unsure.
"Simple, because he feels guilty that he came in between Finn and another of his girlfriends... again." the boy tells her and shrugs.
"Well, it's not his fault; it's my fault for kissing Noah in the first place, it has always been my fault. It's no surprise that Finn broke up with me because lets face it, I am a total bitch!" the short brunette says sadly to her friend.
" Her only friend" She corrects herself.
"Listen to yourself! This is not healthy and that boy you love may be my step-brother but he needs to mature and maybe grow a pair!" Kurt rants angrily.
She is about to interrupt when he shakes his head.
"No, let me finish. Finn Hudson needs to see that he is at fault too. Believe me, while still not right, I understand why you cheated on him." He finishes in a much calmer voice.
"You done?" She asks.
"As a matter of fact, I am" He says happily.
"Thank you Kurt, I seriously needed to hear someone else say that, other then myself." the brunette says and hugs Kurt.
While it still surprises him, he doesn't push her back. He knows that right now she needs a friend. So as weird as it sounds he will be that friend for Rachel Berry.
"Come on, we need to go!" He says after a couple of seconds of hugging.
She quickly lets go and rushes to the bathroom to look more presentable.
"Why are we in such a hurry again?" She asks all the way from the bathroom.
"Well tomorrow you go back to school and I wanted you to start fresh for your 2nd semester." He answers and then she is out of the bathroom and out of the house, all dressed and looking better then he first saw her.
"Awww, really?" She asks and her eyes brighten up.
"Yup, so you and me are going to shopping at the mall!" He announces giddily.
"Thanks Kurt." She says and gives him a smile as she hops in Kurt's car.
"This will be fun Diva, I promise!" he says as he gets inside too.
"I hope so but please, I don't want another sad clown hooker make-over." She jokes lightly but half of her is afraid Kurt will pull something like that again.
"No worries, this time you will actually get a good make-over from the one and only Kurt Hummel!" He yells excited.
And that was that. Kurt started his car and both divas drove off to their destination: Lima's only Mall...
So should I continue? Please tell me and just to be clear: Kurt is at Dalton and all of the events up to A Very Glee Christmas did happened.(Any further questions, then send me a message)
Sincerely,
The Wonderful Mistique ;)
I hope all you Gleeks Like it!
