Animalistic ch. 2
Rachel's POV
I can't believed that Quinn had the nerve to say the things that she said! She had right to say those things because she's has no idea what's going on in my relationship with Finn and I believe we are going to be very happy with each other, still in love, in New York pursuing my dreams of being a Broadway star and he will… He will. I'm not sure what the quarterback will be doing in New York but I am more than sure that he will be great in it because he can do anything that he sets his mind and I believe that will all my heart. We'll have our whole lives together to pursue our dreams and happy because I love Finn and I know that he loves me.
The quarterback may have his issues but no one's perfect and I know that he wouldn't actually hit me but… there have been a few hits that he has come pretty close to doing it but he always stops himself. If I didn't push him so much that the quarterback wouldn't get so angry with me as often and he wouldn't feel the need to hit me. I sigh to myself as I walk to home to find empty once again but I'm used to it because Dad's are busy with patients at the hospital and Daddy's always with his clients at the firm so they don't have as much for time as I would like but that's what to expect both your parents excel in their field of choice.
It's quite lonely at times but I can't tell them that because I don't want to come off as a selfish, spoiled brat that needs her Fathers' constant attention so I deal with my loneness like I normally do, I sing until it goes away. I walked up to my room, changing out of my clothes into a tank top and a pair of Scoff shorts then do my vocal exercises when I hear the doorbell ring. Who could that be? I wasn't expecting anyone. I walked downthe stairs to open the door to see that it's Finn standing behind it with that cute half smile on his face and a bouquet of flowers in his hands.
"Hey Rachel, these are for you" Finn said handing me the flowers.
"Thank you Finn, they're beautiful" I said sniffing them.
"I want to come by to check up on you and tell you that I know that you're sorry for upsetting me earlier. I know that you didn't mean it" Finn said walking into the room.
"R-Right it was my fault. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have picked that stupid fight with you" I said putting the flowers in a vase.
"Don't worry I forgive you. So… are your Dads here?" Finn asked curious.
"No, they're away at a conference in Columbus and they won't be back until the end of the week" I said walking into the living room.
"Cool, cool why don't we watch a movie?" Finn asked smiling.
"Sure"
Finn searches through our movie collection before deciding on some action movie that more than likely belongs to Daddy and popping into the DVD player then sitting back on the couch as he wraps his arm around my shoulders. I wasn't paying attention to the movie but it didn't really matter because things are going good between us as we put the movie behind us until halfway through it, I feel the quarterback trying to cop a feel and I move his hand. He tries it again and I removed his hand only for him to try it again ten minutes and it was starting to get on my nerves because Finn know that I'm not ready to take that step into our relationship because I want to be twenty-five when I give myself fully.
"Finn stop" I said getting annoyed.
"Come on Rach, let me cop a feel"
"No"
"Rachel!" Finn whines. "Let me touch your breast"
"Finn, I told you no and you should respect me enough to stop" I said crossing my arms over my chest.
"Rachel, I'm the quarterback of the football and the guys expect me to get laid. Don't you love me, Rachel?" Finn pouts.
"I do love you Finn but I am not sleeping with you and I don't appreciate you trying to guilt trip into doing so. I don't care that the guys on the football team expect you to sleep around and you shouldn't let them peer pressure into doing that. I expect better from you, Finn" I said shaking my head.
"Who are you to criticize me? You don't know what kind of pressure that I'm under" Finn said frowning.
"I'm not trying criticize you, Finn but-"
"No, you listen to me, you whore. I made you into who you are and you're lucky that I am even dating your high maintenance ass. Do you know how hard it is to be your boyfriend with your constant rambling about being Broadway stars and musicals all the damn time. God, you can be so annoying majority of the time"
"Then why are you with me if I am such a burden on you?" I asked trying to keep my tears at bay.
"Cause I'm hoping that you'll put out but with you being such a freaking cocktease. I don't even know"
"Cocktease? I'm not a cocktease" I said offended.
"You are a cocktease, Rachel. With all those short skirts that you wear, all the guys are hoping to catch a glimpse of your panties if you bend over the wrong way and I know that you enjoy the way that the guys look at you. You like teasing but you don't put out. I hate it" Finn said shaking his head.
"It's not like that. I don't notice those other guys, Finn and it's not like I do it on purpose" I said frowning.
"Yes, you do and you're a whore"
"I'm not a whore, Finn if I haven't slept with anyone and I don't -"
My face is forced to one side as Finn strikes me across the face and I hold my reddening cheek as I looked at him with tears in my eyes, shocked that he has actually struck me. I can't believe that the quarterback actually hitting me but he did and he doesn't look sorry for what he's done as he forces me further onto the couch, holding my hands above my head.
"Finn, let go me" I said struggling against his hold.
"No, if you're going to give yourself up willingly then I'm just gonna take what I want. Don't worry baby, I'll be gentle" Finn said loosening his belt with his free hand.
"Please Finn please, don't do this" I said struggling harder.
"Stop being such a big baby, Rachel and just relax"
It donned on me that my boyfriend of two years is about to rape me and there's nothing that I can do about it but cry when the front door is forced open as Finn's forced onto the floor. I quickly sit up to see that it's… Quinn with half her weigh on top of the quarterback, punching him over and over again until blood's gushing out of his nose and onto her fist. Finn cries out in pain but the head Cheerio doesn't stop hitting him until he's sprawled on the floor unconscious and she stands up before turning to face her as for a moment, I thought that her normally hazel green appeared to molten golden but that couldn't right. The cheerleader bends in front of me, taking my face in her hands and her lips are moving but I couldn't hear a word that she was saying until she lightly taps me on the cheek, pulling me out of my thoughts.
"W-What? Quinn, what are you doing here?"
"I was coming over to apologize to you for earlier when I heard shouting from outside and I knocked the door the down because I thought something might have been going on. Good thing that I did or who knows what else would have happen"
I choked on a sob as I wrapped my arms around Quinn's neck because I'm so grateful that she showed up with she did because Finn was… he was… what he was about to do to me scared me. How could he do this to me? I thought that he loved me but he tried to rape me. He tried to force himself on me against my will. He would've gotten away with it if Quinn hadn't showed up when she did. Quinn saved me. Quinn stayed with me when we called the police and when they had taken him away to hospital to treat his injuries then they're taking him to the precinct for interrogation. The head Cheerio stayed with me while the officers questioned me about the incident and comforted me when it became too much for me to talk about but I was glad that it was over for now but the cops said that they would in touch. We didn't say much once they left and I didn't feel like talking much so Quinn held in me in her arms as she rubs soothing circles into my back for awhile as she rocks me back and forth.
"Quinn?"
"Yeah Rachel"
"Thank you for being here for me. I don't think that I would be able to get through this without you" I said resting my head in the crook on her neck.
"No problem, I'll always be here for you when you need me" Quinn said kissing me on the temple.
"Promise?" I asked looking at her. "Even after what I said to you earlier?"
"I promise that I won't leave you unless you want me to" Quinn said cupping my cheek.
"Stay with me? I don't want to be alone"
"Of course" Quinn said smiling softly.
