Later that night, after Rachel put Ava and Lexi to bed, she went to her room, and silently cried to herself, as it broke her heart hearing what Ava asked. She knew it was bound to happen, she hoped Ava meant what she said, and hoped she and Lexi didn't go looking for him. Rachel cried herself sleep, and didn't wake up until she felt two sets arms wrapped around her, she woke up and saw Ava and Lexi hugging her. She loved waking up to this, she smiled and said

"Good morning my sweet girls." They hugged her tight and Lexi said

"Are you okay mummy, Ava heard you crying last night." Rachel hugged her daughters and said

"I am okay, I have you two." Ava and Lexi sat up and Lexi said

"Can't you stay home with us mummy?" Rachel sighed at them and said

"I can't, I have to go to school. How about when I get home from school, we can do some baking before I start my homework." The girls smiled and said

"Yay." They rushed out the room excited. Rachel shook her head smiling at them, and got ready for school. Once she got dressed, she walked to the kitchen and saw that Quinn and Noah were already here seeing Beth before school. She stood in the doorway, which made Quinn look up, walk over to her and hug her

"Thank you for yesterday." Rachel hugged her back and said

"It's okay, he had no right saying it or thinking those things about you two or even my god daughter." Quinn pulled apart the hug and said

"I know, but you didn't have to, we get used to it at school." Rachel walked into the kitchen to make a coffee and said

"But you shouldn't be used to it though, it's not right." Puck placed Beth on her seat next to Lexi and walked over to her and said

"We know, but we ignore them though Rach, and you know we would stand up for you if others knew about Ava and Lexi, and we know Nick and Jeff would stand up for you even Smythe and Harwood." Rachel knew Noah was right, and she said

"I know, but you both know why I don't want people to know, I don't want them getting the backlash of the bullying I used to get." Quinn understood why no one knew about Ava and Lexi, and said

"I know Rach, and that's why you are now at Dalton so you don't get bullied anymore." Quinn finished her coffee, kissed Beth, Ava and Lexi's forehead and said

"You be good." They nodded their heads and Noah said to Rachel

"See you at Lunch." They hugged goodbye, and Rachel hugged the girls and said

"You three be good, and like I promise we will do baking." They nodded their heads and hugged Rachel, and she bid her mum farewell and drove to Dalton. She was nervous that Sebastian had picked up that she left quickly, and tried to come up with a lie on the way. She parked her car, and walked inside and saw Hunter. Rachel knew that look on him, once again he hurt her, she looked down and walked passed him, and he said

"Rachel please talk to me. I saw you rush out of school yesterday, is everything okay." Rachel stood frozen, turned and said

"Which girl was it this time?" What she said, shocked Thad, on how she knew, when he and Sebastian agreed to tell her when the time was right. Hunter stayed silent, and Rachel continued

"You can't even look at me and tell me you weren't with another girl, and you ask me if everything is okay because I rushed out of school. Just butt out." She turned to walk away, and she heard

"I'm your boyfriend, and I love you." Rachel was almost in tears and said

"If you love me, you wouldn't hurt me so much." She walked away, and Hunter was about to follow her, when Thad stopped him and said

"I wouldn't follow her if I was you." Hunter was mad and said

"What is it to do with you Harwood?" Thad stood in front of him and said

"Everything, when Rachel is concerned, you hurt her, and since she is part of the warblers officially we will have her back through everything like she does with us." Thad then walked in the direction of Rachel to make sure she was okay, and when she found her, he saw Sebastian with her comforting her. Thad smiled slightly and walked away from them. Sebastian was concerned for the girl, and he said

"Rach, what's wrong?" Rachel stayed silent, and remembered that question and situation from 4 years ago where he denied it. Rachel spoke

"Trust me Sebastian you wouldn't want to know what's wrong." Rachel didn't want Sebastian to know, no matter what. Sebastian stayed silent, and then put a comforting hand on her shoulder and said

"I'm here for you, if you ever need to talk to someone that aren't Quinn and Puck, since I know they aren't at Dalton, at least you know you have me, plus you can talk to Thad as well." Rachel looked at him and said

"How can you be sure that I can talk to Thad?" Sebastian stood up, looked at her and said

"You aren't the only one with a secret Streisand." Sebastian then walked away from her, and was then caught up by Nick and Jeff who then dragged Sebastian into an empty classroom and Jeff said

"You have got to stop trying to pursue her, she has a boyfriend." Before he could say anything, they hear

"A boyfriend that doesn't deserve her." They turned and saw Thad walk in. Thad closed the door and said

"Smythe, is Rachel okay, I saw the whole thing, turns out he's hurt her more than once." Sebastian sat in the table and said

"As okay as she can be Harwood, and I figured he has." They stayed silent, and he continued

"I'm not trying to pursue her, I'm trying to be her friend, she doesn't really have those here, not since she left Quinn and Puck at McKinley. Just want Rachel to know that I'm here for her, it's all I can do." Sebastian then got off the table and left, the classroom, and Nick looked at Thad and said

"What was that all about?" Thad watched his friend leave and then turned to Nick and said

"He does like her, but right now he can't do anything, not when he has so much going on and she has a douche of a boyfriend." Thad then left Nick and Jeff, and caught up with Sebastian and said

"Is she doing okay?" Sebastian walked into class, and said

"She is, she's getting better, which is good, and I found out her dashing young boy, is someone by the name of Skylar, apparently he's been helping her, which I'm grateful for." They sat down, and Thad said

"That's good, at least he is helping her while you are here." Sebastian agreed, pulled out his notebook, as Rachel walked in with Hunter. Sebastian silently sighed at the couple, wishing Rachel could see that Hunter is no good for her. Rachel sat down next to Hunter, she can't leave him in fear he would find out about Ava and Lexi and would hurt them, and she didn't want that. She sat across from Sebastian as Hunter spoke

"You never did answer my question, where were you yesterday after school I was looking for you to see if you wanted me to drive you to home to your dads." Rachel sighed and said

" I drive myself here, and I had to see Quinn and Noah at McKinley as they needed my help with something." Rachel hoped that Hunter didn't pick up on her lie, she was grateful that Hunter didn't know that she actually lived with her mum because her dads kicked her out over what happened 4 years ago. Thad and Sebastian studied Rachel as Hunter believed her lie just as Nick and Jeff walked in. They knew Rachel had lied after her being their main competitor for last few years, they studied her and watched her, so they knew she lied, but at what cost, the only thing going through their minds were why would Rachel lie to her own boyfriend.
