Finn was watching a hockey game on TV, when Kurt entered the house, after going to the mall with Mercedes. He set his bags down at the bottom of the stairs.
'Finn, can I talk to you? About something?' Kurt asked, not knowing if Finn was still angry about earlier.
'Depends' Finn answered, his eyes not moving form the TV
'About what?'
'About what it is you want to talk to me about' Finn answered, taking a swig of his soda. Kurt sat down at the far end of the sofa and leaned forward slightly.
'About Rachel' Kurt answered Finn's question. Finn's head snapped to his step brother, his eyes narrowing. He sighed and switched off the hockey, turning to Kurt.
'What about her?' Finn questioned
'Today, earlier when me and Blaine were talking to her... I was asking her why she never speaks to us... Only you... And I just said to her that if she joins Glee, maybe she would start to break out of her shell' Kurt explained. Finn listened and sighed, rubbing his hand over his face.
'Okay... There's a reason why Rachel won't talk to people, other than those close to her' Finn said, making Kurt frown
'What happened?' he asked
'I don't know what happened, she's never said and I've never questioned her..'
'Aren't you curious?' Kurt asked, making Finn scowl.
'Of course I am' he snapped 'But I'm not questioning her on something what is a sensitive subject for her' Finn continued, as Kurt opened his mouth. Kurt shut his mouth and sighed.
'Okay, but I still think she should join Glee... Maybe it will give her something to focus on... I didn't mean to offend her earlier, can you tell her that?' Kurt asked
'Yeah, but Kurt... Promise me you won't push her into doing Glee, I know you... More than you think I do' Finn said, switching the TV back on with a smirk on his face, seeing Kurt gawping at him out of the corner of his eye...
Rachel was down at the lake, a place where she found comfort and formed her own bubble. Her feet were dangling in the water and gently swaying from side to side. She leant back, supporting her weight on her hands behind her back as she gazed up at the stars and the moon. Suddenly, her phone started ringing and 'My Man' started filling the quiet night air.
'Hey Finn' she said, a smile playing at her lips, as she sat up.
'Hey babe, you okay?' he asked, reclining back on the sofa
'Yeah, just at the lake...' she said, making Finn frown
'You okay? You only go there when you've have an argument?' Finn questioned, frowning a little bit.
'Yeah, I'm fine. A little misunderstanding with my Dads' Rachel answered, smiling at how he remembered a little thing.
'Misunderstanding? You okay? Do you want me to come down?' He asked, making Rachel smile.
'No, honestly, it's fine... I'll be okay... I'll just-' Rachel broke off and froze. She looked over her shoulder, Finn's voice calling her name, fading into the background. She looked around at the scenery behind her.
'RACHEL!' screamed Finn. Finn jumped and placed her mobile back to her ear.
'Sorry... Sorry, what was I saying?' she asked, trying to mask her fear.
'Rach, what's going on? Are you okay?' he asked, getting concerned, his fingers edging towards his jacket and his car keys. At the lake, Rachel was could feel her stress levels rising.
'Yeah, honestly I'm-' she scrambled to her feet as a twig snapped and she squinted into the darkness, seeing something in the darkness.
'HELLO?' she shouted, forgetting about Finn on the line. Another twig snapped and Rachel took a step back...
'Rachel? Rachel? What the hell is going on? Hello?' Finn questioned on the other end of the line. Suddenly, the line went dead and Finn stared at his phone for a few seconds, before grabbing his coat and car keys and rushing from the house...
Rachel was rushing through the trees, not daring to look behind her. Roots and branches scratched at her legs, face and arms, but she didn't dare stop as she rushed through the woods.
'Let me alone!' she screamed over her shoulder as someone chased her through the woods. She heard the footsteps getting louder behind her, before it suddenly went quiet. She skidded to a stop and turned around, seeing the forest empty.
'HELLO?' she screamed, not daring to turn around in case something happened, even though she knew that probably wasn't the most wise decision. She heard a twig snap again, which her spin round round and her breath caught in her throat, as tears sprung to her eyes. She looked round wildly before she heard an animal howl in the distance, making her jump and turn round on the spot. She could feel herself on the verge of a panic attack.
'SHOW YOURSELF!' she screamed, desperately trying to keep the tears at bay. Suddenly, someone slammed into her, knocking them both of her feet. Rachel let out a terrified scream and scrambled up from the forest, grabbing the nearest thing closest to her, which was a broken tree branch. She grabbed it and swung it over her head-
'NO, RACHEL! NO!, PLEASE GOD! IT'S ME!' Finn yelled, as he lifted his head from the forest floor just in time. Rachel froze when she heard his voice and dropped the tree branch from her grip. Finn shot to his feet and gripped her arms gently.
'Are you okay? What happened? One minute you were talking and then you hung up' Finn told her. Rachel was silent, as tears fell down her cheeks.
'I'm not angry, I promise!' Finn said, pulling her into a hug. Rachel clung to him like a lifeline and allowed the tears to fall, thick and fast. Finn scooped her up in his arms and carried her to his car. He placed her in the passenger seat and buckled her seat belt up and shutting her door, before rushing round to the drivers seat and closing his door, before he turned to her.
'Rachel, what the hell happened out there?' he questioned. Rachel sniffled in her seat and looked at Finn.
'Someone was... was watching me... And then I heard a twig snap twice and I ran' Rachel weeped. Finn's eyes widened in horror.
'Someone was stalking you?' he questioned, incredulously. Rachel suddenly sat up straight in her seat and her face went blank, making Finn frown.
'Rach?' he asked
'Take me home, Finn... You have to take me home now!' she said, her tone emotionless. Finn watched her for a few seconds, before starting up the car and doing as she requested...
After explaining to her Dads where she was and what had happened, Finn was allowed to stay until she fell asleep, which was mainly because Rachel wouldn't him go. She had fallen back into her silent mania, only communicating with a shake of her head or a nod. After half an hour of watching TV, Rachel tapped Finn on the shoulder.
'Yeah, babe?' he asked, watching as Rachel pointed to the ceiling above their heads.
'You want to go to bed?' he asked, making Rachel nod. He lifted her effortlessly into his arms and carried her to her bedroom. He placed her on her bed, kissing her on her head as she smiled.
'You want me to go outside while you change?' Finn asked. Rachel shook her head and climbed off her bed, darting into her en suite to get changed. Finn smiled and laid down on her bed, seeing a book on her bedside table. He picked it up and read the blurb on the back. He thought it sounded quite interesting, so he opened up the first page and read it. He pulled a face, looking interested, before he started reading the first chapter as Rachel got ready for bed. He was so absorbed in the book, he didn't realize how much time had passed, until a loud bang startled him.
'Rach? You okay?' he asked, as he headed to her en suite door. He knocked, before opening the door, incase she was indecent.
'RACHEL!' he screamed, as he saw her on the floor. Leroy and Hiram barged into the room, as Finn cradled Rachel in his arms. He looked up as Leroy straightened her legs out.
'Rachel? Rachel, it's okay... It's Dad!'
'WHAT'S GOING ON?' Finn screamed, startling Hiram, was watching Rachel's hand. He darted out of the bathroom and grabbed a piece of paper and a pen, before handing Rachel the pen. They watched as Rachel started to write on the paper. After she wrote what she wrote, Rachel, suddenly, let out a gasp and clutched her throat.
'RACH!' shouted Finn, thinking she was going to choke, but she let out a scream and closed her eyes, before dragging air back into her lungs and snapping her eyes open, sitting bolt upright.
'Rachel?' asked Finn, apprehensively, as he didn't know how she was going to react. Rachel round, her hair slick with sweat.
'You okay, sweetie?' Hiram asked, stroking her hair. Rachel nodded, before she turned and crawled into Finn's lap, curling herself into him, her eyes projecting the fear she felt inside.
'OI! Will someone tell me what the hell just happened?' Finn demanded, his arms clutching Rachel to his body. No one answered him, as Rachel resorted to her silent form, while Hiram and Leroy were studying what Rachel wrote on the paper
He's coming back for me
