No One Has to Know

A\N: Welcome to my new story! I've never written anything like this, so hopefully it's good! ;)

Warning: It's very AU, and very OOC so you're not allowed to get mad at me when things unexpected happens.

"Do you love me?" Her soft voice whispered into the darkness that night and he took her cold hands in his.

"You know I do," he kissed them. "What's wrong, baby?"

But she avoided his gaze and his eyebrows furrowed in concern as he stroked her hair.

"I love you too," she said then stood up, walking over to the railing and leaning against it, her back facing him.

"Rachel..." He reached for her and that's when he saw the tears glistening on her cheeks. He took her head in his hands and tilted her face toward the moonlight and he brushed the purple bruise on the edge of her right eye.

She winced and his arms tightened around her. "We're gonna get out of here, I promise."

So the next night, as her mother was continuously drinking her dreams away and her father was nowhere to be found, as usual, Rachel sneaked out of the door leading to her balcony and climbing down the vines that were below and into the arms of the boy she loved.

He kissed the bruise on the side of her face and then kissed her lips. "You're safe with me." He murmured and she believed him.

And off they went, out of town, out of Lima, Ohio.

Rachel was finally away from her failure of a mother and her abusive father. Finally, after having to deal with them for eighteen years, they were gone.

Where were they going? She wasn't sure. She didn't care. Because as long as she was with him, she was safe.

It was Rachel Berry and Finn Hudson against the world.
