AN:

Wow we've arrived at Ch 3 already. In order to understand If you go away,be sure to Read my other story Forever Yours. We've arrived at the Lima Bean with Rachel,Kurt,and Blaine. I own nothing.

Coffee at Lima Bean

No one Pov

Rachel was laying on her bed. She didn't sleep well. She kept dreaming about the day in the bathroom and hearing footsteps but couldn't see the person. The person kept knocking on the door or rather banging on the door. She tried to fight tears so person couldn't see or hear her. Just as door was about to be broken down, she woke up.

Rachel sat up shaking. "What is wrong with me? This isn't normal. " Since the incident, Rachel has had a few nightmares whether its a door slamming or water dripping from the faucet. The slightest sounds creep her out. It doesn't help she's home alone since her dads are always away. I guess I could tell Sebastian about it, but I don't want to disturb him or appear weak. Regionals, prom and soon graduation are coming up soon. Sigh. I guess she should be ready. Its 4:00pm. An hour to get ready and he's to Lima Bean to meet with Kurt and Blaine. Rachel runs to kitchen to grab a water bottle. Then picks out her outfit and takes a shower, gets dressed, and then grabs purse, key, money & oh yea Sebastian's sweatshirt. Even if he wint be there, just wearing his sweatshirt makes me feel close to him.

She gets in her car, and off to Lima Bean...

Meanwhile at Lima Bean

Kurt POV

Blaine and I are at Lima Bean awaiting Rachel's arrival. Its 4:45pm. I haven't seen her since she was released from the hospital. Since the shooting, Carol and Dad have made Finn and I participate in family time. Dad's scared to send me back threatening to sue the school board. Its been nerve wracking. It was scary enough dealing with Dave K issues forcing me to attend Dalton. The only good that came from that was I found Blaine and good friends like the Warblers. I was accepted. And Rachel and I became closer as well. Family time was great, but Finn rarely stayed around. He was either sucking face with Quinn ir trying to get Rachel back. Rach is dating Sebastian bow and Quinn honestly could do better. But oh well. Rachel I just don't get what she sees in that obnoxious Craigslist warbler, even his smile is creepy, Kurt mumbled.

"Kurt, Rachel is with Sebastian because she's un love. And as hard as it is to accept or understand..Sebastian feels same way!" Blaine replied.

Kurt: Wow was I thinking out loud again?

Blaine: Yep. Look I get why you wouldn't trust him but from what I have seen recently...he genuinely cares for Rachel. More than Finn ever had

Kurt: Its weird cuz he's gay and I don't want Rachel to get hurt by thinking she can actually change Sebastian to switching his preferences.

Blaine: I don't think that's our decision, and I she gets hurt she has us. Plus I don't think you're one to judge since before Burt & Carol got together you tried to get Finn interested in YOU.

Kurt: *grumbled* Where is Rachel anyway? What if she had an accident or if Sebastian has kidnapped her ir-" he's cut off by a short brunette walking through the door walking to their table..

Rachel POV

I finally make it to the Lima Bean and spot my two friends at our usual table. As I was walking to the table I overhear Kurt making a comment about Sebastian possibly kidnapping me. SIGH. I can't make Kurt trust or like Sebastian, but at least try to make an effort like Blaine has.

"Well Kurt if Sebastian were to carry me off somewhere I definitely wouldn't complain. Plus he wiuld never force me to go anywhere or do anything I didn't want." I replied.

Kurt: *grumbled* Hello Rachel, my Diva, you're here! I was Bout to call since i haven't see you since hospital.

Blaine: *shaking his head at Kurt * Hey Rae darling. *giving Rachel a hug* Can I get you your usual coffee while we all catch up?

Rachel: Hello my Tony! Haha. *hugs back* yes if you can. Here's money-

Blaine: RACH, put that away my treat. Now sit and relax or I telling Sebastian. *teasing*

Rachel:*blushing* haha no need. And thanks. I'm sorry I was late.

Kurt: Its okay. And I'm sorry Rae, you know we love you and want to protect you. And its a bit weird, your relationship with Sebastian. Isn't It creepy being in the Sam room with him? I just don't get it...

Blaine: Kurt....*warning tone* Here are our coffees.

Kurt and Rachel:Thank you Blaine.

Rachel: Kurt as I've said I understand why you don't trust him. And plus he is competition at Eegionals. But honestly Sebastian and I don't discuss our set lusts or anything.i mean we talk about regionals as in how rehearsals are going or prepared. Sure we're competitive. But I honestly love being around him.he different with ne. He's sRcastic but very smart, funny and cares about me.

Kurt: But- he's cut off.

Blaine: Kurt we talked about this. You have no reason to not trust Sebastian.He's not obsessed with me anymore and its Rachel's decision. Plus she knows if he does hurt her ill have to make a trip to Dalton and kick a certain Warblers ass. Lol

Rachel: Haha *blushing* now can we talk about something else..how are you both doing? How are you coping with what happened??

Kurt: It's been a little scary especially when I thought dealing with Dave K was bad enough.

Blaine: I've been talking with my parents, Kurt, and my friends at Dalton. Feeling helpless not being able to do anything. Heck, Rach, SM was ready to risk his life to make sure you were okay.

Rachel: *shocked * really?? WOW, definitely need to give him a hug.

Blaine: And what about you Rach?

Rachel:*went pale* uh I have been okay, no problems at all..*lying smile*

Kurt and Blaine glance at her, giving her a "realm who are you kidding look*

Rachel: *sees the look* honestly Iam fine.

While Rachel drank her coffee, she looked down at her finger and twirls her ring wondering if she should tell about her engagement. She thought of the events last few days. She noticed the coffee ship was getting crowded, the sounds of footsteps, chatter, coffee machines were suddenly making her uncomfortable and jumpy for some reason. She didn't hear Kurt and Blaine as they called her name. "Rach are you alright?!" Rachel kept it all hidden. Until suddenly she found herself panic and someone touched her shoulder saying "Rae" and a coffee mug tray dropped and broke causing her to scream "NOO!!" Turning to see who's behind her. It was...

Sebastian..

Sebastian POV

Sebastian has had a long day. Classes finished for the day, Warbler rehearsal busy as always and Lacrosse practice was cancelled.

I was sitting in my room bored as hell. I have been thinking of my Rachel all day. I miss her she she's not near me. I've thought about what Thad said about marriage and too soon. Maybe he's right about getting married right now. It would be a ling engagement since we both had to fulfill our own dreams in order to make it work. I know she has her sights on New York and I know she will get there. She's an amazing talent and one of the only people I'd be threatened to compete against. New directions wouldn't have made it this far without Rachel. As I've said ND is a joke. Rachel's co-captain Finn Hudson is not even close vocally with Rachel. I think I'd make a better duet partner. It makes me sick the way they treat Rachel and I yr to encourage her to stand up for herself. And their coach is no better allowing her to be bullied. Iam surprised Rachel hasn't snapped yet she's strong,yes, bit she's also a 17 year old young woman with fears and insecurities . She's difficult to deal with at times but so is he but I've never been happier.

I thought of last night, holding her in my arms, kissing her strawberry glossed lips...smiling. I texted Blaine to find out if he's talked to Rachel. She says she's fine but also seems distracted. She doesn't realize that I know her so well. I know eventually she needs to talk about whatever is bothering her. He gets a text back from Blaine.

Seb,

hey buddy! Kurt & I are a Lima Bean waiting for Rachel. Wanna join us?

. -Blaine

Sebastian smirked a bit and texted back

Blaine

Hey Killer-

lol I'm sure Kurt would love that. But I do want to see Rachel. Don't tell her I'm coming I want to surprise her.On my way. Watch my lady for me til I get there.

-Sebastian

Blaine: Will do.

Sebastian:Thanks buddy.

So I change my clothes and grab my wallet and keys and head to Lima Bean..

*about 1hr and half later*

Sebastian gets out of car, fixing his hair, then walked into coffee shop. He spitted Blaine, Kurt, and his love sitting at their table. while getting his usual coffee he watched Rachel as she talked to Kurt about their relationship. He smiled but annoyed that she should even have to defend us or me. Its really NO ONE'S business. Then he noticed Rachel acting strange. As he got his coffee he approached her and as he placed his hand on her shoulder Rachel screamed. What's that about???

Sebastian: "Rachel...??"

Rachel: *trying to calm down* oh uh Sebastian what are you doing here?

Kurt: Yes what are YOU doing here Meerkat...

Blaine: Kurt?!

Sebastian: No its okay Blaine no need to explain. Its bad enough Rachel's already having to explain or defend our love.

Kurt: As if you're capable of love.

Sebastian: You know what Betty White, I'm here because I was invited by Blaine to see Rachel. And yes Iam capable to love people or person I care about and its Rachel.*giving Rachel kiss on lips* Hi.baby are you okay??

Rachel: Uh yeah I'm fine now. I don't know what that was. By I'm an actress so I was rehearsing..

Sebastian: Um there's no play to rehearse for unless you're getting ready to accept your Tony pr Oscar award. I will be in front row of opening night and when you awards baby!

Rachel:aww Sebastian. You're the best. But Iam fine.

Kurt, Sebastian and Blaine exchanged looks.

Sebastian: Babe are you done here? I wanna spend time with you if that's okay?

Rachel: Yeah I guess. Kurt & Blaine ill see you later.loe you guys.

Sebastian grabs her hand and walk to their cars. Outside..

Rachel: So do you wanna go to my house since I'm alone?

Sebastian: Yea lets go. I'll follow behind in my car. *kisses*

both get into cars and head to Rachel's house...

AN: OKAY how scary was it to see Rachel's panic attack and trying to cover it up. Plus having to defend her relationship with Sebastian to Kurt. Up next..some Smytheberry time..Review & Rate!
