Rachel held her cup tight as she drank her tea as Nick walked back in. She placed her cup on the bench and went over to help him. Rachel softly spoke

"I really appreciate this Nicky. Are you sure you don't mind me being here?" Nick picked up a heavy box and carried to the room that now belongs to Rachel and said

"Its okay Rachel. And I really don't mind you being here. And I know Jeffy will be really excited when he finds out. And I know when Blaine finds out you're back in Ohio, he would freak but also be relieved that you're safe and okay, Sebastian and Thad too." At the mention of Blaine, and her two former friends Sebastian and Thad she all of a sudden felt guilty and said

"How are they Nicky? Blaine, Sebby and Thaddy." Nick looked at her and said

"Blaine is now the coach of the Warblers at Dalton, and he and Kurt are very much broken up still, I don't see them getting back together. And as for Sebastian and Thad, they are actually engaged, Thad asked Seb last night. And they are actually working at a law firm now, Seb took over his dad's law firm." Rachel was pleased that her friends were doing well and better than her, especially Thad and Sebastian. She gave Nick a small smile and said

"I'm happy for them. Really." Nick knew Rachel differently. He knew that she, Thad and Trent may be best friends and grew up together, and he himself and Jeff maybe dating but noone knew Rachel like Nick did and noone knew him like Rachel did. Nick knew Rachel was lying and knew she was just staying strong because of what happened and losing Finn. Nick knew everything that happened in New York with Kurt, Santana, Funny Girl and Elliot. AS Hunter was in New York and went to the same college as Elliot and Nick asked Hunter to look out for Rachel for him, and when Elliot told Hunter everything, Hunter told Nick. Nick took Rachel's hand, squeezes it and said

"I know it may be tough for you right now after everything and losing Finn and Jesse. But you know what you can do Rach?" Rachel looked at him confused and said

"What Nicky?" Nick gave her a small smile and said

"You have two choices. One is feeling sorry for yourself and blaming yourself for what happened, or you can use being back in Ohio, rooming with me, Trent and Jeffy as a restart and allowing us three to help and support you all the way, I mean Ohio gave you your start, its no wonder you came back home, you still have a part of Ohio inside your heart, and you have soft spot it." Rachel knew Nick was right, and Nick continued

"Call it what you want Rach, but I think you being back in Ohio is a good thing for you, you can restart, and start fresh on your life, no matter how you start or do so, you have three awesome friends that will be by your side no matter what." Rachel hugged Nick and said

"Thanks Nicky, I needed to hear that." Nick hugged Rachel back tight, he felt for Rachel and worried about her a lot, he knew the passing of Finn hurt her a lot and that she wasn't herself and noone knew how much pain she was really in. Noone but Nick, Trent, Thad, Sebastian and Jeff knew. And it pained them to see Rachel heartbroken and in pain, they tried to help her but there was only so much that they could do to help.

Hours later when Rachel finished unpacking and resting in her new room which Trent, Nick and Jeff made her do. She sat at the kitchen table listening to her three friends telling her everything that has changed even with Mr. Schue leaving McKinley for Carmel. Rachel was somewhat shocked but also happy that he left because he never stopped Santana's, Quinn's and everyone's bullying towards her, yet he was so quick to tell her off and get her into trouble, the glee club was meant to be a safe haven but it wasn't one for her. Jeff then spoke

"McKinley got rid of their glee because of Sue Sylvester and her turning it into a computer lab, and with Mr. Schue gone they are in need of a music teacher." Rachel looked at Jeff shocked and said

"They turned the choir room into a computer lab?" The boys nodded their heads and Nick said

"And with our conversation earlier rach, maybe being the new glee director and music teacher at McKinley could be your restart that you need." Rachel thought about it and said

"Say that I do this, wouldn't i need money to start the glee club, and wouldn't i need the principal's support on it, and support in general. With that TV show flop I don't see any of that happening." Trent looked at Rachel and said

"That's where Nick, Jeff and I come into it. You see while you were napping us three were talking and we agreed that we will help you with everything, and with the principal's support, well its a good thing my dad and Mr. Motta is still on the school board." Rachel couldn't believe it, and couldn't believe what she was hearing. She thought over what Nick said to her earlier, and wondered if being back at McKinley but as a teacher is the way to restart her life, she did get a teaching degree in music when she went to Florida and studied there. Rachel took a deep breath and said

"I'll do it. I'll be the new glee director and music teacher at McKinley, but on one small condition." Trent, Nick and Jeff looked at smiling and said together

"Anything." Rachel looked at them and said

"We find someone to help me get the glee club up and running, like with helping to recruit singers and dancers for the group. But noone that used to be at McKinley with me, I wouldn't be able to work with them, not after they all except Sam and Noah made my life miserable." Nick looked at Jeff and Trent and then at Rachel and said

"Done, Rachel." Trent hugged his best friend and said

"And we will all support you and be by your side." Rachel knew Trent was right they will support her and be by her side. She's excited and nervous about this chapter in her life but to her she was grateful that she wasn't going through this new chapter alone she had her three very best friends by her side.
