Prologue
"I can't believe the wedding's just three months away!" Quinn said excited. "THREE MONTHS!"
"I can't believe she gets louder every week" Santana muttered to Rachel making her laugh.
"Do you girls really like the color?" Quinn asked her three best friends for like the millionth time while they had lunch.
"You want the truth?" Santana muttered under her breath.
"Of course Quinn" Brittany said elbowing Santana and she glared back at her.
"Yes Quinn, it's lovely" Rachel told her smiling.
"What's wrong sweetie? You've looked down all day" Quinn said worried and the other two nodded. "Is it Jesse again?"
"What? No. Jesse and I broke up like two months ago" Rachel told her annoyed.
"But don't you miss him?" Brittany asked her.
"Um, no" Rachel said confused. "That's not what I was thinking, I'm actually relieved to not be with him anymore" she told her.
"Then, what is it?" Santana asked curious. Rachel sighted a little sad.
"Promise you won't laugh?"
"Rachel! We've been best friends since we were like two months old. You can tell us anything" Quinn assured her.
"I'm bored Quinn" Rachel simply said.
"What? Oh, honey I'm sorry. I just thought that since you were my maid of honor-" Quinn started but Rachel stopped her.
"No, Quinn. Not about shopping" she said smiling. "You know I could never be bored about shopping" she told her.
"Then?" Santana asked confused.
"Ok, don't get me wrong. I am so happy for you Q" Rachel told Quinn smiling. "But, don't you ever wonder if there's like… something else?"
"What do you mean?" Quinn asked her confused.
"Like, if there's something else besides being someone's daughter or someone's wife. I mean, I'm glad you and Finn are getting married but Q, we're twenty-two years old. Don't you ever want to like… I don't know, go and do something crazy just for yourself?"
"Like what?" Brittany asked.
"I don't know I just feel like we've lived in this bubble for all our lives and there's gotta be something more" Rachel said frowning.
"Rachel, honey, are you hungry? I think you're talking crazy" Quinn said with a little laugh and looking around for the waiter.
"Quinn" Rachel complained.
"Rach, seriously, how can you complain about our lives? We have the best friends, the best parents, the hottest guys around, we get to go to the best parties, we have the best opportunities to do whatever we want! I mean, what is this 'something new' you want? Maybe we could go to Europe for a second bachelorette party" Santana said smirking.
"Girls I am not talking about that. Haven't you ever wondered what it would be like to do something on your own? To have like, I don't know, a job or something? I mean, we're twenty-two years old and we don't even know how to drive!"
"We don't need to. That's what drivers are for" Santana told her in an obvious tone. "Besides, somebody has to be the designated drinker" she said smirking.
"What's a job?" Brittany asked confused.
"Driving? A job?" Quinn said laughing. "Rachel, honey, why would you even think of that?"
"Yeah, we have everything we want from our parents and, well then, we get it from our hot rich husbands" Santana said in an obvious tone.
"But I don't want to be just that! I mean, I feel like I could do something to change people! Something for me. Something without having someone to depend on! I wanna move out from my parents' house" she said determined.
"WHAT?" Quinn and Santana said at the same time. Santana spitting her drink while she said it.
"But… where will you live?" Brittany asked confused.
"I don't know! Maybe I could get an apartment and get a job and I don't know" Rachel said smiling.
"What are you talking about?" Santana asked more confused than ever.
"Oh, you're kidding! It's a joke!" Quinn said relieved putting her hand on her chest and laughing and Santana started to laugh too. "You are kidding, right, Rach?" Quinn asked when she saw Rachel's smile was sad.
"Right" Rachel said sadly and looking away.
"I don't get it" Brittany said confused.
"Sorry Britt, I didn't tell it right" Rachel said smiling at the tall blonde.
"Don't worry Rachie, that happens to me all the time" Brittany said smiling at her while Satnana and Quinn started talking about the wedding again.
Two weeks later…
***Quinn***
"But mom-"
"That's enough Quinn! You and Finn are going to have a lovely wedding." Mrs. Fabray said smiling.
"I'm going to marry Finn! He cheated on me!" Quinn said on the verge of tears.
"Honey, that doesn't mean he doesn't love you. He knows he made a mistake and he's willing to make it up to you." Mrs. Fabray said smiling at her.
"I don't want him to make it up to me! I want him out of my life! I'm not going to marry someone who doesn't love me!" Quinn yelled desperate. She didn't want to get married to someone who cheated on her. More than once.
"Lucy Quinn Fabray! No daughter of mine is going to marry someone just out of love" Mr. Fabray said rolling his eyes. "The wedding is final, we have spent a lot of money in it and Finn's family will be here for dinner and you will announce your engagement is back on. Your friends will be thrilled" he said before stepping out of the room.
"We have so much to plan with Carol!" Mrs. Fabray said smiling excited and walking out of the room too.
***Santana***
"But he's gay!"
"Santana Lopez! You will not use that word under my roof" Mrs. Lopez said outraged.
"What? You're friends with the Berrys!" she yelled confused.
"That does not mean that I approve their lifestyle" Mrs. Lopez simply said. "That has to be a sin, in so many ways" she said shaking her head. "Dave Karofsky is a perfectly respectable handsome young man and you should feel honored to date him."
"It's all settled sweetie. Their parents are really excited" Mr. Lopez told her.
"I don't care! I am not dating Dave Karofsky! He's not only gay, he's an asshole!" Santana said annoyed.
"Language señorita!" Mr. Lopez warned her.
"Sweetie, it will be alright" Mrs. Lopez said smiling.
"No! Mom, I don't love him! And he doesn't even like girls" Santana said rolling her eyes. She was in love with someone else, but she knew that her parents would never approve of him because he had two gay fathers. Yet, here they were trying to make her go out with a gay boy.
"Santana that's nonsense. The Karofskys are coming tonight for dinner, I have to get everything ready" Mrs. Lopez said walking out of the room.
"Why don't you go tell all your friends sweetie? I'm sure they'll be thrilled for you" Mr. Lopez told her.
***Brittany***
"But he's in love with Tina Cohen-Chang!"
"That girl that wears dark clothes? Please as if Arthur and Laura are going to aloud that" Mr. Pierce said laughing.
"But daddy shouldn't I break up with someone if he doesn't love me?" Brittany asked him.
"Sweetie, we want what's best for you. And we want someone to be able to take care of you" Mrs. Pierce told her.
"But maybe I could find someone to take care of me who loves me too" Brittany asked hopeful.
"Sweetheart, I am sure that Artie loves you very much and he's a completely respectable young man" Mr. Pierce tried to convince her. "We are going over their house tonight so stop this nonsense about breaking up with him" Mr. Pierce said walking out of the room.
"We are gonna have so much fun tonight" Mrs. Pierce said excited and walking away too.
"But I don't love him" Brittany said sadly.
***Rachel***
"I am NOT marrying Jesse St. James!"
"Rachel Barbara Berry! There is no need to yell!" David Berry said annoyed.
"Yes there is! You are trying to get me married at twenty-two!" she said outraged.
"To a nice family!" John said upset. "The St. James are splendid people and they're welcoming you into their family."
"The St. James are stuck up people who look down on everyone!" Rachel said annoyed. "And they're so boring!"
"Young lady! Watch that mouth!" David said upset. "We did not raise you to have a trucker's vocabulary!"
"You should be thankful to be a part of that family" John told her.
"Can't you see my excitement?" Rachel said sarcastically. "I am not marrying Jesse!"
"Why not?" David said annoyed.
"Because I don't love him!"
"That doesn't matter!" John said rolling his eyes.
"Well, it matters to ME!" Rachel said really upset.
"Rachel! You have to grow up! Not everything in life is about love and emotions! You think love is enough to live? This is for your own good! Marrying Jesse will give you security for life" John told her.
"I don't want security for life! I want to marry someone that I love! And who loves me back! And not when I'm twenty-two!"
"You are being very ungrateful right now Rachel" David told her. "You know everything that we do is for your own good! Since the day that you were born, you've never had to lift a finger to get what you wanted."
"I never asked for that! I am thankful for everything you do for me but that's the exact reason why I can't do anything for myself!"
"That's why we know Jesse will take good care of you-"
"Good care of me? That idiot was nothing but a jerk to me! He never appreciated me and he didn't even respected me!"
"Honey, look at this from a happier point of view. Jesse and Finn are best friends, you and Quinn could live next to each other and raise your children together-" David started.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Stop right there!" Rachel said shocked. "First of all, Finn cheated on Quinn! The wedding is off!"
"That wedding is still going" John informed her.
"Seriously? How can you guys be so blind! Don't you see guys like Finn and Jesse are horrible people?" Rachel said annoyed. "Everyone in this fucking world are horrible people!" she yelled covering her mouth with both her hands when she realized what she just said.
Both of her dads gasped shocked. "Rachel Barbara Berry!"
"That is final! You are being a spoiled brat! You should be thankful to find the one to spend the rest of your life with at such a young age!" John said really angry.
"I DON'T want to spend the rest of my life with Jesse!" Rachel said upset.
"Unacceptable. You two are going to have a lovely wedding" John said with a dare look.
"Or what?" Rachel said arching her eyebrow.
"You're out of my house!" John said in a threateningly tone.
"JOHN!" David said shocked.
"You're not serious are you?" Rachel asked shocked. "You're threatening me for not marrying Jesse?"
"You're behaving like a child, so I'm treating you like one" John simply said. "If you're so sick of this world, then you have a way out. But just know young lay, once you're out that door, you cannot come back. You have all day to decide, I want your answer by tomorrow morning" John told her picking up his stuff. Rachel was too shocked to even talk. "We're leaving now. Boston. Business trip. I hope you choose wisely by the time we come back tomorrow morning" he said starting to walk out.
"Shocking" Rachel said sarcastically.
"And loose the attitude while you're at it" he said glaring at her before he walked out with his husband.
Rachel rolled her eyes while she took out her phone. She was about to dial when she heard it ring.
"Hello?"
"WE NEED TO TALK!" she jumped a little apart from the phone when she heard three voices yell on the other side of the phone.
"My house, ten minutes" Rachel said fuming red.
"Make it five Berry" Santana said before they all hung up.
Three minutes later, the three girls stormed into her room.
"My parents want me to still marry Finn!" Quinn said outraged.
"My parents don't want me to break up with Artie" Brittany yelled at the same time.
"Mis papas son unos estúpidos! Están LOCOS DE REMATE!" Santana snapped at the same time.
"Ok, girls, one by one! And San, you're talking in Spanish again!" Rachel said while she continued to do what she was doing.
"My parents want me to marry Finn even if he cheated on me" Quinn went first.
"I told my parents about Artie and they said I shouldn't break up with him" Brittany went next.
"My parents want me to date Karofksy!" Santana finished while she grabbed some of Rachel's ice cream and started eating it.
"What?" Brittany and Quinn said at the same time turning to look at her.
"They know he's a dolphin, right?" Brittany said confused.
"A dolphin?" Quinn asked even more confused.
"Gay shark" Brittany told them shrugging her shoulders. The other two just looked at her confused.
"They know that, right?" Quinn asked referring to Brittany's question.
"I told them! They didn't believe me!" Santana told them and then she noticed Rachel. "What are you doing?" she asked and the other two turned to look at her.
"Are you packing?" Quinn asked confused.
"Where are we going?" Brittany said excited jumping on Rachel's bed. "Another road trip?"
"No" Rachel simply said as she continued to pack.
"Ok, what is going on? Where are you going?" Quinn asked confused.
"Away" Rachel simply said.
"From where?" Santana asked confused.
"Here" Rachel told them.
"What? What on earth are you talking about?" Quinn asked her.
"My fathers threw me out" Rachel told them.
"WHAT!" the three girls yelled at the same time, causing Rachel to drop the shirt she was holding.
"Honey why didn't you say something?" Quinn said worried hurrying to hug the petite brunette.
"Quinn, I need to breathe" Rachel managed to say as the blonde pulled away from her.
"Did they really kick you out?" Brittany asked sadly.
"Yeah, what happened?" Quinn asked worried.
"They said that if I didn't marry Jesse I had to leave" Rachel told them.
"Are you serious? Pero que les pasa a los papas! Todos están completamente-"
"San! You've gone Spanish again" Quinn told her. "Wait, so you're gonna leave?" Quinn asked returning to Rachel.
"I don't have a choice" Rachel told them. "I'm not going to marry Jesse, so, I'm leaving" Rachel told them as she continued packing.
"Rachel! You can't just leave! Where are you going to go?" Quinn continued.
"I still don't know" she said as she put her things in her bag.
"You can come live with me" Brittany offered.
"Thanks, Britt. But I don't think so. I'm thinking my dads will tell your parents the situation and I won't be welcomed there" she said as she tossed some of her dresses in her bag.
"Would you stop already? What is wrong with you? You've just been kicked out!" Santana said grabbing one dress from her hands. "And this is my dress!"
"Right, sorry about that" Rachel said laughing and she continued packing.
"Sweetie, are you still in shock?" Quinn asked placing her hand on her arm.
"What?" Rachel asked confused.
"You've just been kicked out by your fathers and you're acting as if nothing's going on" Santana told her. "Britt! Stop helping her pack!" Santana told the blonde who had some pants in her hands.
"You can talk to us honey. We understand if you need to cry or-"
"Cry?" Rachel asked laughing. "This is what I needed" she told them. "Now I can go out there and make it on my own!"
"Make what on your own?" Brittany asked confused.
"I don't know, I'll figure something out" Rachel told them.
"Figure what out? Rachel you're talking crazy again" Quinn told her worried.
"No, I'm not! I told you about two weeks ago. I need something more. If I can't find it here, I'll do it somewhere else. I'll get a job and get an apartment and meet new people, real people" she told them excited.
"Wait, are we in your imagination? I thought we were real" Brittany said panicking and pinching Santana.
"Ouch! Britt!" Santana complained. "Yeah, what are we Rachel? We're your best friends" Santana said a little hurt.
"You three are the only real people in here!" Rachel told them. "Hey! Why don't you come with me?" she said all of the sudden.
"What?" the three girls said in unison.
"Come with me" Rachel repeated.
"To do what?" Quinn asked her.
"I don't know" Rachel told her.
"Where would we live?" Santana asked.
"I don't know" Rachel answered again.
"Could we get a cat?" Brittany asked excited.
"Sure" Rachel told her.
"Rachel! This is insane!" Quinn told her.
"Yeah, Q is right! Even I think this is just nuts!" Santana told her.
"The more reason why we should do it! San, didn't you say about three days ago that you were over everyone in here cause you've slept with all the boys and you hate all the girls aside from us?" Rachel told her.
"Yeah, but-"
"And Quinn, even after we went to Cabo to get your mind off things, didn't you say you needed to get away from Finn and everything that reminded you of him?"
"Well, sure but-"
"And Britt, remember how we said we would walk and dance all around the city together one day?"
"Yes!" Brittany said excited. "I wanna go! San, can we go?" Brittany said jumping excited.
"Are you happy Rachel? Now Britt wants to go" Santana told her annoyed.
"So? Let her come. I could use a roommate" Rachel told her.
"Rachel! Stop talking this nonsense!" Quinn said outraged.
"Fine. You don't have to come. But I'm going" Rachel told them.
"Berry, I'm sure if we talk to our parents-" Santana started.
"What? You're going to end up marrying a gay guy? Britt is going to be with Artie for the rest of her life when we all know he loves Tina and Q will be pregnant with Finn's kid a year from now? And I'm sure your parents will be the last ones to receive me San. I know they don't completely like my fathers" she told her.
"You know about that?" Santana asked a little worried.
"Of course I know about that! We all know how our parents talk about everyone behind their backs. Don't you see it girls? If they're fake, how do they expect us to be? If we stay here, we'll end up just like them!"
The four girls looked silently at each other for a minute, not really knowing what to say.
"My dad cheats on my mom and she never left him" Quinn muttered all of the sudden.
"My mom has a drinking problem" Santana admitted.
"My parents think that everyone who's not white like us is not a person" Brittany admitted sadly looking at both Rachel and Santana.
"And my dads judge everyone. They're always gossiping about everything and they don't care about me anymore. I mean, they just threw me out! I don't want to stay here. I'm going. If you girls want to join me, be my guests" Rachel said as she walked into her bathroom to get more of her things.
"I don't want to end up just being a housewife who gets cheated on a daily basis" Quinn said sadly as she rubbed the cross in her necklace.
"I don't want to become an alcoholic to escape my problems" Santana admitted. "Sure, once in a while is fun, but she's a mother" she said disappointed.
"And I like you and Rach a lot" Brittany told them sadly. "I don't like the way they talk about you."
"Are we actually doing this?" Quinn asked shocked.
"Can't be worst than our lives here. Maybe Rach is right. Maybe there is something more. Maybe we need to find out something else! Plus, I'd rather sell all my shoes before I marry a gay guy! Can you imagine that? I would never get any! That ain't no life for Santana!"
"I don't want to stand in the way between Artie and Tina. They love each other" Brittany admitted and Santana smiled at her.
"Q?" she asked turning to Quinn.
"I'd rather shave my head than marry Finn" she said laughing a little at the end.
"So, we're doing this?" Santana asked smirking.
"I'm am! I don't want Rachie to go by herself! She needs a friend and that's what we are. And I can't let her dance all around the city without me" Brittany told them. They turned to smirk at Quinn who smiled back at them.
"Rachel!" she yelled and Rachel came running out of the bathroom.
"What?" Rachel asked confused.
"We're in!" Santana said smirking.
"Really? Are you serious? You're coming with me?" Rachel said getting excited.
"You know what we say" Brittany said smiling.
"Always together" Quinn said putting her pinkie in the middle.
"Never apart" Santana said smirking and taking her pinkie with hers.
"Best friends forever" Brittany said excited joining her pinkie too.
"Sisters at heart!" Rachel finished happily liking her pinkie.
