A Fresh Start for the REAL Rachel

This is a crossover between Grey's Anatomy and Glee. I Do Not own anything that all goes to Shonda Rhimes and Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan. This story is completely AU.

I haven't planned this story out so I don't know how long it will be. I got the idea randomly :p

I hope you enjoy it. R&R please.

Chapter 1

Rachel Berry isn't the girl everyone thinks she is. The Rachel Berry in school is all an act / façade to keep people away and avoid being hurt. In all honesty the real Rachel is the total opposite to who she pretends to be. If only people took the time to actually get to know her but people in LIMA are fools.

Unfortunately no matter how many façades a person puts up or how strong the walls you build are, sometimes the toughest people can break when it all gets too much. Words and actions of those you call you friends and family can hit you with so much force and cause you to lose balance on the thin line you are already walking on.

Rachel already had so many cracks in her heart that a few more punches and it would be completely destroyed. Her fathers left her alone when she was 12 and as soon as she turned 16 they emancipated her. Her mother rejected and abandoned her for a brand new baby who was the child of Rachel's worst tormentor. And all the bullying (Slushy's, dumpster tosses, insults and being pushed into lockers) were had left major cracks. There is only so much a person can take before they completely fall apart.

Today marks 1 month of her being emancipated. Rachel walks through the school doors and down the hall to her locker, where she is met with the first slushy facial of the day. She's about to turn to her locker to get her slushy kit but before she has can move the jocks and cheerios give her a full blown slushy bath with 12 more icy hits. The whole hallway become silent, the laughing bystanders stop laughing for they know this has gone too far, yet no one moves to help her.

"Good Morning Ru Paul. Why don't you just run along and not show your face here again. You are such a loser. This is just a taste of what your remaining years here at WMHS will be like." Remarked Quinn Fabray (who has regained he Head cheerio position and is once again the HBIC) and they all walk away laughing and high-fiving each other.

The rest of the student body watch as Rachel gathers her things quietly and makes her way out of the school. She walks to the parking lot, gets in her car and heads home. Once home she goes to the bathroom to shower and get the slushy off of her. Once she has showered he looks at herself in the mirror for a long time "It's time for a change" she says to herself "A fresh start, maybe I will take Quinn's advice and leave."

She walks to the closet and changes into something that the real Rachel would wear. She sits down on her study desk and opens her laptop and does some research. After a few hours pass she knows what to do. She makes some calls and makes arrangements for her plan. She checks the time and see's that its 3pm glee will start in 30mins. She gets up and leaves the house with a few envelops in her hand.

Once she parks her car in the parking lot she waits for the bell to ring so she can go to the choir room. She takes her time because she doesn't want to be early like she usually is. First she has a few things to do before going to glee though so she decides to do that.

When she arrives everyone is there including Mr. Shue and they all quiet down and turn to watch her walk through the doors of the choir room.

"Rachel you're late. As the Glee clubs captain you need to show more initiative. Please take a seat and make sure this doesn't happen again!" Mr. Shue exclaims

"I apologize Mr. Shue. It won't happen again I promise" she says quietly.

As she makes her way to the seat Quinn opens her mouth and says

"Please Man-Hands is just looking for new ways to gain attention."

"Yeah, why don't you just give it up already Treasure Trail! Its time you realize that we ALL just PRETEND to like you." Santana sneers while the rest of the club laughs.

"Not even you mother wanted you. She chose my baby over you. You just a freak and a loser its time you understand that Troll!" adds Quinn and laughs but the stops when she sees the rest of the club dint laugh along and are watching Rachel with baited breaths. Then Quinn and Santana see it, the way Rachel is shaking and realizes that she crossed the line with that comment. Everyone knows that.

Rachel is shaking with rage she closes her eyes and takes a few deep breaths to calm herself. This was the last straw. This removes all doubts and cements her plan.

She slowly opens her eyes after a minute and looks straight at Quinn. There is pin drop silence but when Quinn looks in Rachel's eyes she gasps at the sight. Not only her but every one gasps at the fire, rage, pain and hurt that is displayed. Not only that but the color of her eyes is not the warm brown they knew it's was…the darkest blue eye that they have ever seen. Which was weird because her eyes should be brown not blue 'What the Hell" everyone thought.

"Thank you Quinn for reminding." Say says in the calmest most controlled voice anyone has ever heard from her and this frightens everyone in the room. Rachel looks around the room like she's looking at it for the last time. She then walks to Mr. Shue and hands him an envelope.

"What's this Rachel?" he asks

"You will know soon enough" she replies "but before you read it, I would like to say a few words." Again her voice is eerie calm that send shivers or fear down everyone's spine.

"The last year I have been hear has been a learning experience for me. You all have helped shape me to become what I am. For that I thank all of you." Say takes a breath and continues in the same calm voice "you all were right. I am unwanted and unlovable and you all helped me realize just what and who I am. My fathers' left me to live alone when I was twelve and I never heard from them until a month ago when they sent me my emancipation papers. My birth mother chose Quinn's baby over me, I have no friends, I have no one. So yes you were and are all correct. So thank you. And for what it's worth, I never pretended to care for you all. I actually DID care for all of you. But now I could care less." She pauses and thinks of her next words.

"The person you all came to know was never the real me but no one took the time to know the real me. I know you all are wondering what's up with my eyes. Well when you are hit with so many icy cold dyed drinks in the face and it hits your eyes, some damage is to be expected. What you are seeing now is my real eyes the brown one was just my protective lenses. Anyway i have no time left I have nothing left to give any of you. My time has come and Quinn I am taking the advice you gave me this morning when you and you jock & cheerio friends bathed me in a shower of 13 slushy's. Goodbye everyone." And with that she turns and leaves the choir room.

Everyone is shocked and confused as to what just happened. They expected a full on diva fit. But this was not a diva fit. This was something that they never dreamed of.

Puck was the one to break the silence "What advice is she talking about Quinn? He asked in a voice so cold that it rivaled the tone that Rachel has used a few minutes ago

"i..I .. uh.." Quinn stuttered try to find her voice then clearing her throat said "I just told her what everyone wants."

"And what would that be Quinn?" Puck asked coldly

Quinn looked at him with slight fear in her eyes and said "After the slushy bath I told her she should just… "She drifted off not able to complete her sentence as she was cut off by another voice

"That she should just run along and not show your face here again. That she was such a loser. That the slushy bath she got was just a taste of what her remaining years here at WMHS would be like." Said the voice of the new person in the room. "Isn't that right Q?"

Everyone in the room were just stunned and shocked and confused not knowing what to do or say. The appearance of and the steely cold voice and furry filled eyes of Sue Sylvester was not what anyone knew what to make of.

"You said all that this morning in the crowded hall way then you go and make a comment about her mother and your baby? Who do you think you are? What right do you have to say those things to my GOD DAUGHTER, to My NIECE?!" Sue Yelled. The entire room was fill with pin drop silence and everyone was shaking in fear. Sue continued

"Because of you MY NIECE has Transferred to a different school not only that but to a completely different state. And I will never see her again and that all because of YOU. ALL OF YOU!"

Sue took a breath and said in a calmer voice similar to Rachel's

"You all will pay dearly for this. The games that we have been playing is over now I am going to show you what the real Sue can do. I will destroy all of you not just in school but your entire life. And that goes for you to William you had a BIG part in this. Instead of being a teacher a coach a mentor a father figure you joined in on the ragging and bullying you never stood up for her yet you yelled at her for defending herself and you defended the people that hurt her. She was putting up a façade she had built up walls. She lost so much and NONE of it was ever her fault." She takes another breaths

"You all saw what you wanted to and never gave her a chance. Has she ever besides correcting you about singing and dance insulted you all in any other way? Has she every physically hurt any of you? Has she ever emotionally hurt any of you? NO! But you all took every opportunity to put her down and break her. Tell me this How many times has she offered you all her friendship? How many times has she put herself at risk to help you people out? How many times has she offered you kind words and a shoulder to cry on when no one else did? Hmm? Tell me."

"You think about that. And while you're at it, think about what you will do with this lame excuse of a show choir." With that she walked out.

"I always wondered why I could never see Rachie's eyes!" Brittany say out of the blue breaking the silence and tension and everyone looks at her

"What do you mean B?" ask Santana

Brittany looks up with a sadness no one ever wanted to see in Brittany's eyes "We were best friends once. Rachie was like a sister to me when we were kids. We were neighbors and we had dance classes together since we were 5 years old. Some people burnt her house when she was 9 years old because her fathers were gay. So they had to move. I was so sad but at least I got to see her in dance class and school. Then we started high school and I met you and Quinn and you all made me join the cheerios. I still wanted her friendship but because of the two of you I couldn't. She said it was for the best at this way I would be protected and not stuck being a loser like her. I listened to her and you guys but I lost my sister and never got her back. She changed and became a fake. Her cloths she wore was only because it was cheap and easy to replace after the slushy attacks." Brittany was sobbing now and everyone else had tears in their eyes including Quinn and Santana and Mr. Shue.

Brittany continued "Now I lost her for real. I will never see her again. I lost my sister and I ..I.. I don't know what to do. What should I do?" She looked up at everyone so lost and sad

In a split second the sadness turned to anger and everyone was shocked to see it in Brittany's eyes as she said in pure rage her voice low and dripping with venom "You all did this! You caused her pain! You all think I am dumb and stupid…" she was cut off by Santana

"You're not stupid B" She said

"SHUT UP!" Brittany yells and everyone was shocked and gasped "YOU ALL treat me like I am dumb and stupid. The ONLY person that ever knew ME is gone and it because of ALL OF YOU! Did any of you know that I am in every AP class along with Rachel? That I have a GPA of 4.0? That I along with Rachel have already been accepted into 10 Top Universities with a full scholarship early?" She looked at all the shocked faces and laughed then continued "Yeah not one of you knew. Shocker right? We both already had grades and qualifications that automatically put us in graduating class. We were just delaying it so we could stick around and help you guys. To help Glee. Look what that gave us" she looked at everyone in the eye and shook her head "you guys think she was weak, but you are all wrong. Did any of you ever notice that whenever anyone ever said a mean word about me the next day that person was missing and never showed up for at least a week or month after? Santana did a crap imitation of protecting me. It was Rachel that beat them up so bad that they couldn't stand up or even wake up for days. Remember Jason Sheen 2 months ago, the Jock? He cornered me one day and started groping me and saying mean stuff. All Santana did was pull him off me, gave him a black eye, yelled in Spanish and slushied him a few times. But have any of you ever heard or seen from him again?"

Everyone looked at each other the back at Brittany and shook their heads in reply.

Brittany just laughed and said "that's because the ass in hospital and in a coma because Rachel kicked his ass good. Not only that, when Quinn was pregnant and dropped to the bottom Rachel broke bone of everyone who slushied Quinn or said anything about her. Yet she was the one YOU ALL hated."

Taking a breath she looked at everyone again and said the final words "for what its worth Quinn you should know that Rachel was in love with you. And now you will never see her again. Nor will any of ever see her again. Or ME for that matter. I am done with all of you. Good luck with winning competitions now guys!" with that Brittany walked out of the choir room and out of the school

Ok well that went longer then I thought. But it was just GLEE – dude I know.. don't worry next chapter has Greys and a few surprises.
