Rachel POV
I asked aunt Jill to stay until my performance of swan lake which is in a week. I didn't bother to tell my mom, because I already knew she wouldn't come. Why get my hopes only to get them crushed by the person who suppose to do the opposite? Today Damian and I are spending the day together but tomorrow I'm going out with aunt Jill, and the day after I'm watching movies with Santana, puck, and Finn. I told aunt Jill all about Finn and Damian, and she thinks Finn has a crush in me, I find that ridiculous. Why does everyone assume he likes me?Were just friends!

I was putting the finishing touches on my makeup while Santana was eating a chocolate bar. That's weird Santana hates eating chocolate.

"Um...San, I thought you hated chocolate?" I ask while putting blush
"I did too, but then puck made me eat some, and now I'm addicted" Santana replied while licking the chocolate off her fingers
"Sounds like you and puck are getting pretty serious" I said smiling and looking at San
"Yea, I really like him, I think he might be the one" Santana replies blushing
"Is Noah Puckerman thawing the ice queens heart?" I laugh

Santana throws her wrapper

"Oh shut up! What about you and Finn, huh??" Santana smirks
"I've told you people a million times, were just friends! Plus I'm dating Damian" I say laughing at how silly everyone is
"All those late night movie nights, and hanging out for practice, seems like you go out more with Finn, then you're actual boyfriend" Santana argues
"Finn and I are just friends" I reply
"Friends in loveeee" Santana says making kissy noises
Knock knock
I throw a pillow at her while laughing
"Would you shut up!" I giggle at her weirdness
****
"Hey rach" Finn smirks waking in
"I can't hang out today Finn, I'm going out with Damian for the day, but you're more than welcome to stay here with Santana" I say looking at them

They both look at each other before saying

"No freaken way" in sync
"Or not" I reply

"Come on rach!!! Ditch Damian for the day, pleaseeee" Finn begs

"Rachel? Ready to go?" Damian knocks on the open door
"Uh, yeah hold on" I say trying to reason with Finn
"I'll hang out with you the day after tomorrow" I reason

Before he could answer I hear telling from across the hall, oh no, it aunt Jill and my mother

"Uh, oh" I whisper
****
"RACHEL!!!!! Where are you you little traitor" I hear my mother yell
"Shelby, leave her alone it's her choice!" Aunt Jill screams back
-
"Uh Rachel who's that?" Damian asks pointing to aunt Jill
"Aunt Jill" Santana, Finn, and I all respond as one
-
My mother barges in the room with aunt Jill close behind
"Damian, Finn, Santana, get out while you can, this is going to get ugly" I say as my mom and aunt Jill barge in fighting
"I wanna see this," Santana smiles getting a bag of chips from under her bed
"I'll see you later" Damian says kissing my cheek and leaving off scared
I didn't blame him
"I'm staying here for support" Finn says stern

I was about to protest, and tell Santana to stop wiggling her eyebrows when my mother yells

"What's this I hear about you wanting to teach!!???? Your suppose to become a star!!!" My mom yells
"Shelby, leave her alone! She doesn't want to become you" aunt Jill yells, my mother gasps
"I resent that! You've always been jealous of me, and I will not let my daughter become like you!! A peasant!!" My mother yells
Aunt Jill laughs
"Ho,ho, jealous of you!??? Please, I wouldn't be caught dead wanting to be you, and if you're her so called mother, than where were you all those years for her plays, or when she lost a tooth, or on her birthdays, and if your her 'great' mother then why didn't you attended her graduation?? Huh!?? Where were you then? Oh that right being a star!!
You were to busy being an actress, than being her mother" my aunt Jill yells at my mom

My mom stands there shocked, almost in tears. Then she gulps and says

"I am a good mother, I tried my hardest to give her the best of everything, I will not let all my hard work go to waste because she wants to be like you" my mother says almost disgusted at my aunt
"Yeah tried your hardest to provide lost hope! Hard worker my ass, you were out partying when she broke her arm" my aunt Jill fired

"ENOUGH!" I yell

They both look at me

"Gosh, your both grown adults, start acting like it, I'm sorry aunt Jill that after everything you've done for me and I'm speaking to you like this, but look at yourselves," I say disgusted, I look at my mother

"and mother, you've never acted  like a mother to me, so don't you dare and try to decide what's going to be my career, because I am not you, or aunt Jill, or anyone for that matter, I'm just me, so you can choose to accept that, and if not, there's the front door" I say in tears, because I'm finally standing up to my mother

"But, Rachel this is your desti..." My mother says

"Don't! I'm tired of the resentment and the lost hope and you shoving your dreams down my throat, so you can either support me from the crowds and start acting like a mother now or you can leave because I'm tired of trying to please you,when all it does is hurt me" I say almost sobbing

Both my mother and aunt Jill stand shocked. I don't want to hear it from anyone so I walk out crying. I don't know where I'm going but I just want to get out of here.
