The Sad Truth

Chapter forty-four

Next week
I was getting my books from my locker. Today is my last day here. I decided I wanted to make a record. I just didn't tell the glee club. Only Santana, Kurt, and Finn know about the contest. I needed to confide in someone. Kurt was having trouble with Blaine and I couldn't take it anymore so I blurted it out.

"How long are you going to stop talking to her, you leave today, and you guys are best friends" Kurt said desperate

"She made it pretty clear she doesn't want to talk to me, Kurt" I sigh

"Fine, but have you at least told Finn you're leaving" Kurt almost whispered, afraid I might like strangle him or something

"No" I whispered ashamed

"Rachel you're leaving today," Kurt said sad

"I know" I whisper

I glanced towards where Kurt was looking and it was at Finn. He looked at me and looked away just as quickly. Santana saw and I can see her feel bad for me. So I ran to the girls bathroom.

I started breathing heavy and I tried to calm myself. Santana walked in.

"I'm sorry Rachel" she said sad

"Why? I should be the one apologizing" I told her sad

"I shouldn't have snapped at you, I was just angry, angry that my best friend was leaving me" she told me sad

"I don't want to leave, but is is my dream" I say in a whisper

"I know which is why it was unfair of me to get mad, I'm pretty sure I would've done the same thing" Santana explained "now come and give me a hug you diva" she smiled

I smiled and gave her a hug. At least I fixed one thing before I left. Now I just need to tell the glee club.......and Finn.

"Finn didn't take it so well, huh?" Santana asked

"No, not at all, he hasn't spoken to me since sectionals" I say almost crying

"Well, forget about him and focus on your dream, and as a going away present I have a surprise for you," she smiles

"Really?" I ask not believing it

"Yes, we are going to sing and then you're going to tell the glee club" she said holding my hand

"You've been planning this the whole time haven't you?" I asked

"Maybe" she smirked

I just laughed and walked out with my best friend.

Everyone was seated in glee club and Santana and I decided to stand up. I took a quick glance at Finn and he was staring at the floor. I just shook it off,

"Take it away Santana and Rachel" Mr. Schue said rolling says in his chair

You can be amazing, you can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug

We finished and everyone was clapping as Santana and I were hugging. We pulled apart and Santana looked at me as Kurt waited for what he knew was coming.

"As most of you know I've been struggling with a lot of things for a while now, most of those things being myself, and I've learned to deal with those things through music," I paused as everyone sat patiently "and I've been given the opportunity to produce a record" I said as everyone gasped and looked shocked but smiled for me "so I'm taking the opportunity, the only bad part is, it's in LA, so I'll be leaving you all soon" I said sad

Everyone smiled sadly but Quinn got up smiling and decided to hug me. Everyone came in for a hug, except for Finn, instead he walked out. I felt my heart crumbling and Santana just hugged me tighter.

Later after school

"Mercedes, Quinn, I love you girls, but why'd you bring me here?" I ask while there hands were over my eyes

"Just sit and enjoy" they said sitting me down.

I opened my eyes and see w'ere in the choir room. Everyone is in front of me smiling. From kitty, to Artie, and Sam to Blaine, and Mike to Brittany. Everyone was here, well except Finn. That disappointed me.

"We just wanted to let you know that when you're done becoming rich and famous, that you're always welcome back here, because we love you" Kurt smiled

Sometimes in our lives, we all have pain...

They grabbed me and soon we were all dancing and enjoying ourselves. I'm going to miss everyone here. No doubt in that. But before I leave I need to see someone.
