this is a really small chapter, but I just wanted to see if anyone is interested in this story. If you are then I'll continue to write and make the chapters longer. Please give be feedback! :)

"What's your address?" Finn looked at her once he got into the car. Rachel didn't say a word, all she could do was stare out the window with an empty expression.

"I need to know where you live…can I at least know your name?" he looked at her again, but she gave no answer. He sighed softly and put his hand on her shoulder, "Look, I-"

"Don't touch me", she said coldly, breaking her silence. He quickly removed his hand and put them on the steering wheel.

"I'm sorry, I can't even imagine how you must feel right now, all I want to do is get you home safely", Finn said in a soft caring tone. Rachel could feel the compassion in his voice and turned to look at him for the first time.

"It's Rachel, Rachel Berry", she looked at him again before turning back to the window.

"Oh shit, you're Mr. Berry's daughter aren't you?" his eyes widened, "He talks about you in class all the time, honestly I thought you were some homeschooled freak who spends all day watching documentaries on Judy Garfield."

Rachel couldn't help but let out a little giggle, "It's Garland."

Finn smiled once he heard her giggle, "I made you smile I win."

She smiled again and looked down, "Thank you for what you did in there, it could have been worse if you hadn't of shown up." She was still a little shaking, and the sting of the Mohawk guy's hand against her face was still evident. She owed a lot to this Finn guy for saving her, he was her hero.

"I can't believe he would do something like this, it's absolutely inexcusable", he shook his head in disgust, "He's no longer my friend and if you want to press charges or something, hey, I'll be right beside you."

"I don't want anyone knowing about this, I just want this to stay between us…and just forget it", she swallowed and tried to hold back the tears that were welling up again. "That was the scariest moment of my life, he was going to rape me. If-f you wouldn't have been there he would have kept going and I would have been so helpless", the tears rolled down her cheeks rapidly and she put her head in her hands.

He looked at her and he just really wanted to hold her, even though he didn't know her very well, she needed somebody and he wanted to be that somebody, that friend to come to. "I won't say anything, but if you ever want to talk about it or just cry, you can always call me okay? This isn't some trick to just get your number, I'm serious I'll be there."

Rachel sniffled and wiped her tears while she nodded, "I can't go home right now, it's too early, my dads will be up and they'll know something is wrong, can we just stay here?"

He looked at her with understanding and nodded, "Sure, we could go to my dorm? If you want to, I know that sounds really bad, but all the boys are out for the night so nobody will be there and we can just chill? I understand if you don't want to, I mean after all that's just happened-"

"He doesn't live with you does he?" Rachel looked at him with fear in her eyes. Finn knew by the way she said he she meant Puck and he quickly shook his head.

"He dropped out last semester, don't worry", he looked into her eyes waiting for her answer on if she wanted to go or not.

"Okay, let's go…I don't have anywhere else to go", she sniffled and wiped the rest of her tears away.

"Wow that didn't make me feel like a last resort at all", he said jokingly, he could hear her laughing a little as he started the car.
