DISCLAIMER: I OWNZ NOTHING.
Jesse heard her crying in the auditorium. She thought she was alone but he walked in and saw her in her usual seat with her head in her hands. As he moved closer he saw her shoulders shaking and she was trying to hold her sobs in but she couldn't and that broke his heart. After a few minutes of contemplating if he should let his presence be known and get told off by the emotional woman in the room also or if he should just walk away like everybody else in her life.
'fuck it it's not like I haven't had my ass handed to me by her anyways' Jesse thought
"Ms. Corcoran are you ok?"
'when did he come back?' Shelby thought
"I'm fine Jesse, did you need something" she replied
'typical Shelby behavior ignore the situation' he thought
"No you're not fine I walk in and find you in here crying your eyes out…"
Something on Shelby's wrist caught his attention
"what the hell happened to your wrist?" Jesse asked
'oh shit' she thought
Taking a deep breath she answered, "Jesse nothing happened. I had on a bracelet that was too tight?" she knew her answer sounded like a question but she just didn't care at the moment
He knows that she lying through her teeth, he knows her this Shelby is not the Shelby he truly knows. The Shelby Jesse knows is beautiful, strong-minded but this one right in front of him is beautifully broken, and weak.
He sits down next to her and response, " Shelby, I know you and I know you hardly ever wear bracelets and the only one I ever see you wearing is the one Vocal Adrenaline bought you for Christmas.
He doesn't tell her he knows that she's lying her ass off by answer his question with a question she knows that he knows
"If you didn't need anything get home Jesse it's getting late and your parents will be worried." Shelby said
Jesse knew she didn't want to talk about how she really got the bruises but sending him away and saying that his parents are worried was simply bull shit since his parents don't give a damn about him anyways but he'll respect her wishes and leave
"Shelby you know you can talk to me about anything." Jesse told her making sure she knew in case she wanted to talk
" Can we drop this subject please and why are you still here when I ended practice six hours earlier than normal?"
" I went to the college workshop they were having today." Jesse told her
"Oh" Shelby replied then her phone started ringing "hold on one sec…" she got her phone and looked at it and she went pale and she answered it "H-hello… I'm still at the school…I'm getting ready to leave one of my students needed to talk to me about an assignment… ok I'll see you soon." she hung up before with the person on the other end before they were finished talking "Jess, I'm sorry but I have to go I'll see you tomorrow." Shelby told him then gave a small smile and wave then she left
Jesse had this feeling he wouldn't be seeing Shelby tomorrow but he shook that feeling then went home his self
Shelby was very nervous on her drive home from work she could tell he was angry and most likely drinking. She didn't want to go home but she didn't have anywhere else to go. Shelby got to her house and prayed that he was passed out and not waiting for her to walk through the door. Shelby slowly turned the doorknob and open the door to be forcefully pulled into the house by him the door slammed behind them . He dragged her into the living room even as she struggled and tried to explain why she was home so late but he wasn't hearing none of it. He struck her across her face so hard her head turned to the opposite direction. Shelby felt the bruise forming on her cheek and the tears in her eyes but she refused to let them fall. They stood their for a second she was looking down at the floor then her roughly gripped her upper arm and shoved her to the ground. He reached down and grabbed a fist full of her hair and jerked her head up so she was looking at him then he crouched down so her was eye level with her
"WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN YOU ENDED REHEARSAL FOUR FUCKING HOURS AGO SO WHERE THE FUCK YOU BEEN!" He yelled at her
Shelby nearly threw up at the smell of all the liquor he consumed in the four hours he waited
"I stayed at the school to get some work done I swear." Shelby replied her voice was laced with fear
He heard the terror and fear in her voice but was that going to stop him from doing whatever the hell he was doing to her… nope
"So which one of your co-workers are you fucking with now?" he asked
Shelby didn't answer and she instantly regretted it when his unoccupied hand collided with the un-bruised side of her face.
"I'M GOING TO ASK YOU ONE MORE FUCKING TIME AND YOU BETTER ANSWER OR THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY!" he said in a low and dangerous voice
Shelby nodded as the tears she tried to contain fell down her bruised cheeks
"Now which one of your co-workers are you fucking with?"
"N-none of th-them." Shelby answered through her tears
"Well why did you stay at work four hours after rehearsal when you could have came home!" he asked her
"I TOLD YOU I HAD SOME FUCKING WORK TO DO AND SOME KIDS STAYED BEHIND TO WORK ON CHOREOGRAPHY!" she yelled
Before she realized what she had done he stood up pulling her with him and dragged her through the kitchen to the door she knew too well
"no no no not the basement I'm sorry I snapped please don't lock me down there." Shelby pleaded with him
"NO DON'T FUCKING BEG FOR ME NOT TO LOCK YOU DOWN THERE YOU SHOULD'VE THOUGHT BEFORE YOU SPOKE!" He yelled as he opened the door to the awful basement
He forcefully shoved her in there and Shelby lost her footing from the push and tumbled down the stairs and landed at the bottom on the cold concrete floor.
She heard the sickening noise when her head met the floor and she also heard him locking her in its dark and cold in the basement but she made no effort to move so she just laid there on the cool, hard floor till the darkness consumed her mind.
A/N: Please don't hate me it'll get better soon and I hated that I did this to Shelby (she's my favorite glee character to write) but I do encourage you to leave a review and tell me how I did, what you like/dislike, ect.
