Nathan is in the process of forcing himself onto Rachel when the door busts down. In walks Chloe and Steph. "Get OFF of her!" Chloe screams, pulling him away. As he takes a step back, she swings her arm, sending a hook to his face. He is punched over and over again rapidly, until he is on the ground, where he is then kicked until unconscious.

"Chloe! You're killing him! Stop!" Steph shouts to her, huddled next to Rachel.

"Is she awake?" Chloe responds, "Barely, she is in and out of consciousness it seems".

"We should take her somewhere else for when she wakes up." Chloe is quick to reply, "But what about Nathan? We have to bring him to Wells first" Steph knew this could never end well.

"Or he can stay here so I can kick him to death" Chloe snarled down at his unconscious body, shaking with anger.

"Chloe, I will take him to Wells. Could you take Rachel to her dorm?" Steph points out. The two contemplate it for a couple of seconds before Chloe speaks up again, "I can take her to my place. Safer."

Steph nodded. "Good luck, Chloe"

Chloe drove Rachel to her house, talking to her when she fell out of consciousness, and set her down on her bed. Chloe left the room and grabbed some water and painkillers.

"Oh, you're up" Chloe nearly suffered a heart attack when she walked in and saw Rachel sitting up, her back to the door.

"I told him to stop" Rachel looked back, her hair stuck to her face with sweat and tears.

"I kept saying...stop" She rolled herself into a ball and cried into her knees. Chloe ran over, not knowing what to say.

"He will pay, Rach. I swear to you. He will pay" Rachel grabbed onto Chloe and cried into her shoulder, while Chloe just stroked her hair.

When Rachel pulled away after what felt like eternity, Chloe took a good look at her. Rachel isn't less pale than snow itself. An ugly bruise was formed on her forehead, her lips were cracked and stained with dried blood.

Chloe tucked a single strand of hair behind Rachel's ear, crying slightly as she looked at the condition she was in.

"The fucking bastard" Chloe muttered which made Rachel give a light smile, fake or not it opened her cut.

Chloe pressed her thumb under her lip, wiping away a droplet of blood. Rachel stopped her hand and held it, looking sympathetically at her.

"Thank you"

"For what?"

"Everything" Rachel whispered, playing with her bracelet. She looked up for a split second, catching Chloe staring at her.

"Chloe...what is it?" Rachel took her hand but still no reaction. She tugged at her sleeve. "Chlo?"

Chloe leaned in, kissing Rachel quickly before pulling back.

"I'm sorry- I just...fuck" Chloe stood up and walked over to her window, opening it.

"Thought you might want some air-" Chloe turned around and instantly got grabbed by the shorter girl, before she had time to react, Rachel took her face in her hands and kissed her softly.

A few books fell, clutter crashed to the floor when Chloe was pushed against her desk. They pulled apart, needing to breath. The two stared at each other, slightly blushing.

"Chloe I-" Rachel was cut off when there was a knock at the door.

"It's Steph!' Chloe whispered and quickly rushed over to her bed, sitting down.

Rachel stared out of the window, earlier memories came rushing back, almost making her feel faint.

Did she really just kiss Chloe?

Did Chloe really just kiss her?

Why did Nathan try rape her?

Rape

Rachel suddenly felt violently ill, little pieces in her memory of Nathan on top of her while she cried out.

They were friends though. Were.

Steph walked in, giving Rachel a sympathetic look before walking over to Chloe.

"Wells did nothing. Why did we think it would have worked?" Steph whispered, trying to not let Rachel hear.

"What the fuck?" Chloe sighed quietly, looking over at Rachel. "We'll contact his father and Rachel's parents..."

"Can one of you take me to my dorm, please?" Rachel snapped at the two.

Steph glanced at Chloe before grabbing her bag.

"I can, I'm on my way there anyways" Steph stood up before giving Chloe a 'goodbye nod'.

"Hey...you sure you'll be okay?" Chloe asked Rachel, holding her hand.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Chlo" Rachel gave a reassuring smile, definitely fake.

Chloe just shook her head and watched her leave.
