The Sad Truth

Chapter Twenty-Seven

|||
It's been a couple of weeks and regionals is approaching soon. Quinn and Mercedes don't know about my mom thing. Only Finn does. I told Finn because, one, he's my boyfriend, two, he deserved to know after I made him stay, and three, he gives the best advice.

I've decided that I'm going to tell the glee club today. They've all been asking why I'm so distracted, and since they always support me, I think they should know. My dads freaked out after I told them that I found my birth mom. Of course being good parents, they gave me time to myself.

Then after a couple of days I decided that I needed to talk to Shelby, I mean ms.Corcran, I mean my mom, no! Wait my competition, grrrr, you know what I mean.

I just haven't gotten the courage to talk to her. My dads told me that it's ok with them if I talk to her. Finn offered to come with me, but I have to do this alone. But first glee club.

"As much as we love you diva, but um, what are we waiting for?" Mercedes asks
"Yeah, sh-sh-ouldn't we be practicing," Tina added

I breathed out and looked at everyone,

"I need to tell you guys something very important, so practice is going to have to wait" I explain

"Oh dear god, please not another pregnancy" Kurt said
"No, it's not another pregnancy" I say offended as Quinn rubs her belly

"When we went to see vocal adrenaline perform,"

Mr schue interrupted me,

"Guys we can't keep doing that, it's not fair"

I look at him and he sat back down,

"Sorry go on," he added

I continued,

"I, um, I found out that their coach, ms.corcran, is my birth mom" I say fast

They all gasp and look shocked. I just stand there unaware of what to do next. Then Finn comes up and hugs me again. He already knew, but the hugging still helps. Then one by one, everyone began hugging me.

From Blaine, to Tina, and even puck, everyone gave me one big group hug. I hug back and squeeze my eyes. Shelby missed out because I already have a great fam-glee-a, as Finn likes to say.

Everything was going better than expected. Then Ms.Pilsbury runs in. She doesn't look all that too happy. We pull away and her sadness turns to pity, right when she sees me.

"Rachel, you need to come quick" she says

Everyone looks at me as mr.schuester and Finn walk with me. We stand outside as everyone waits inside. I look at her waiting for her news and then she tells me the worst thing ever.

"Your dads were in a car crash, they didn't make it"

I turn away from all of them, and I start to breath heavy. I blink my eyes rapidly to keep the tears from falling. I can't believe this. I can't, this, it just can't be true, it can't. I want to cry, but I can't, because I don't believe it, I won't.

I feel them come closer as my breathing gets heavier, and I panic, so I run, I run far far away. Away from them, away from school, away from reality.
