A short prologue to the new promised story, tell me what you think. I've been thinking about adding this story for some time but wanted to finish Safest With You first. I'm adding this story regardless of how many reviews I get until I've typed a couple more chapters for Safest With You, so far there are at least six chapters for this story ready to be published and the seventh is almost done.

I do NOT own any of the characters, songs or locations, just the plot.

Prologue

As Sue Sylvester stepped out of the bathroom she took a shaky breath and tried to wipe the blood from her hands before pulling out her phone and dialling.

"9-1-1 what's your emergency?" The operator said.

"I need an ambulance at 3049 Hillcrest Drive please, one of my students has tried to commit suicide." Sue told them. "She's slit her wrists and there are empty pill bottles all around her."

"Ok ma'am an ambulance has been dispatched. What's the student's name and age please?"

"Her name is Rachel Berry and she's seventeen, you have to hurry I don't know how long she's been unconscious but she won't wake up." Sue was getting hysterical.

"Ok ma'am, you need to calm down, the ambulance is on their way but I need you to try and wake her up before they get there."

Sue hung up and went back into the bathroom. "Beiste, we need to wake her up until the ambulance gets here." She told the football coach before leaving the room again, there was too much blood from the small teenager for her to be comfortable with. She left Rachel's room and went downstairs to wait for the paramedics, it didn't take long for them to arrive. "She's upstairs in her en-suite bathroom, this way." She took them upstairs and waited in Rachel's room, Shannon Beiste came out of the bathroom, her hands were too covered in their student's blood and she was pale.

"We need to tell Schuester." Shannon said after a moment's silence.

"Yes, but let's see to Streisand first."

Shannon went over to the CD player and pressed stop, in their panic after discovering Rachel they missed the playing music, she picked up the notebooks and the sheet music next to the player and took the CD out. 'This must be the song she wrote, the one she told me and Emma about.' She thought sadly before turning back to face the door.

After what seemed like hours, the paramedics came out of the bathroom with Rachel on a stretcher, they left the bedroom and carefully made their way down the staircase and out to the ambulance where they gently lay the stretcher on a gurney. The two Coaches followed.

"Which one of you is coming?"

"You go Sue, I'll call her fathers and follow." Shannon said and Sue climbed into the ambulance. She pulled out her phone and dialled. "I'd like to speak with Mr Hiram Berry please."

"BP's dropping, we need to hurry or we'll lose her." The paramedic called to the driver. Sue could only watch in horror as Rachel grew paler and her breathing became shallow. "Come on Rachel, come on sweetie don't give in."

"We're about a minute from the hospital." The driver called back.

"You hear that Rachel, we're almost there, just hang on a little longer." They pulled into the ambulance bay and the door burst open and the driver helped his partner unload Rachel carefully, Sue followed immediately. "Seventeen year old Rachel Berry found in her bath tub, she's slit her wrists and overdosed on prescription sleeping and pain pills. BP dropped from 80 to 35 en-route and her pulse has dropped from 120 to 50 since leaving her address." The paramedic explained to the doctors. "This is Sue Sylvester, her teacher who made the 9-1-1 call."

"Ms Sylvester the police might want to talk to you so if you could please wait here and we'll keep you updated as soon as we know anything." The doctor smiled gently before turning back to the paramedics. "Have the parents been called?"

"My colleague is calling them." Sue interrupted. "They're away on business and aren't due to return for some time, I have paperwork from them that gives me guardianship in emergencies."

"Very well, please have a seat and fill out these forms, we'll be with you as soon as we know something." They wheeled Rachel through the double doors and Sue sat down with the clipboard and pen given to her.

"I understand sir, thank you for speaking with me." Shannon said down the phone. "No Mr Berry she's not alone, Sue is with her and I'm going to join her as soon as possible."

"I would rather that Mr Schuester and the Glee club weren't told about this until she's released." Hiram Berry said over the phone. "My husband and I are not blind to the bullying our daughter receives and I'm positive that this is exactly the reason why she- why she- I'm sorry."

"No need to apologise Mr Berry, this is a most difficult time for you and your husband, Sue, Emma and myself will keep you updated with any changes and Sue has the guardianship papers while you're away."

"Thank you Shannon, Rachel always speaks highly of the new football coach at school, you, Emma and Sue have been helping her through this- this torture and I am grateful for that."

"It's the least we can do Mr Berry, Rachel is a one of a kind kid. I will let you and your husband get back to your business, goodbye Mr Berry."

"Please call me Hiram, and Leroy says to call him by his first name too. Goodbye Shannon, please keep us updated."

"Will do." Shannon hung up and got into her car. 'What a nightmare.' She looked at the CD and music sheets on the seat next to her before starting her car up and backing out of the driveway.
