Don't own glee…blablabla.
"She does not even want to see her own mother"
Santana was right and Judy didn't know what to do about it.
"Ms. Fabray?" Judy was taken from her thoughts by the sound of her last name, she hated it and the fact that it tied her to her ex husband; she couldn't wait to change it to Pierce.
"Since when do you call me Ms. Fabray, Hiram?"
Judy was standing in a long hallway staring out of the window.
"I uh, wasn't sure if you still wanted to be associated with me in any other way than as your daughter's doctor, due to the reason she is in this condition". Judy gave a small smile; Rachel definitely got her extensive vocabulary from her dad.
"Just tell me, I have had to deal with a lot of bad news in the last couple of weeks, I know your tone of voice, what is it?."
"Before I begin I want you to know that the reason I didn't tell you sooner was because I was worried as a friend and not a doctor about how much more you could take, and I want you to know that me and Leroy are going to be there for you and Quinn as much as possible. We love her like a daughter, she and Santana and Brittany are like the other children Leroy and I never had."
"Thank you, and that makes sense, they're at your house more than they are at their own homes," Judy gave a small chuckle.
Hiram took a deep breath.
"When Quinn was brought in and checked over we learned that she has been self harming for quite some time now".
"I-I figured as much"
"That's not all we found, she had markings and old breaks that… "He had to stop and take a deep breath and watched Judy's face closely, moving closer to her to catch her if need be "Judy they are consistent with the marks of someone who has been abused".
Judy whipped around from the window and finally faced him "No"
"I'm sorry "
"That can't be I – I"
"As you know Leroy had to go through some of Quinn's things as is mandatory in an attempted suicide case, and because of the injuries I found. He was able to find Quinn's journals, she wrote it all down, Russell used to beat her." Judy started sobbing, and Hiram was barely able to grab her.
"Oh God no, how did I not see it, oh God, I let him hurt my baby, because I was too busy getting drunk, Oh God"
"He only hit her where no one would see, it seems he was very strategic, I won't, I can't go into details with you Judy, but for Quinn's sake you need to know that he did some horrible things and Quinn is going to need to go in for some extensive therapy, she is going to be stubborn about it, but this plus her confession has made this a very extreme and difficult situation."
Hiram led a sobbing Judy to a private room and sat her down,
"I know you just learned a lot of information, but I need to know, how are you taking Quinn's confession?"
"I already knew Hiram."
Hiram was shocked at this piece of information.
"You knew?"
"There are something's a mother just knows, I saw the signs as she was growing up, it looks like Russell must have as well, we did everything we could to repress it, throwing bible verses at her, and being extra strict. We both saw it and tried to do something about it even if we never acknowledged it out loud. Then I kicked Russell out and started mending things with Quinn, even if I hadn't noticed it before I just had to see it one time and I knew."
"See what?"
"The way she looks at your daughter,"
There it was, the subject that had become a taboo for over a month, Rachel.
"Even when she was pretending to hate her I could see. She talked about how annoying she was but she spoke with a passion, and when she was angry about how Rachel would get all the solos you could tell that she admired her" Judy continued
"If you knew then why didn't you talk to her about it?" Hiram asked in disbelief
"I wanted her to tell me herself, I thought she would when she was ready"
"But if you did like you say and subconsciously repressed her all these years, and because of your religion, how could you think that she would go to you, without being afraid of being thrown on the street?" Hiram was starting to become angry with Judy, not being able to believe a parent could do such things to their own child.
"For God sakes Hiram, I'm marrying Rob, I thought that maybe the fact that I'm with someone who has a bisexual daughter would show her that I'm ok with it. Russell is gone now and I have changed my views, I see the way Quinn looks at Rachel, and all I can think is, how can something that makes her so happy be so wrong?"
Judy took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down
"I just thought she would figure it out, I can't believe how wrong I was. I was so blind to the fact that she is still so terrified that she almost died. I don't deserve to call myself her mother, it's been a month and she won't even let me in the room.
Santana just told me that she was able to get her to open up to Michael, that's a boy she has not been friends with for almost four years since her father forced them to stop being friends, but she does not want to see her own mother."
"She just needs time; maybe her letting Mike in will be good, if they were forced to stop being friends because of Russell then this could be a good step to overcoming some of her past".
Judy could not stop crying so Hiram just tried his best to comfort her.
Brittany had been knocking on the Berry's door for almost five minutes before it finally opened. In its threshold stood a red eyed and completely out of character Rachel Berry.
"What?" she growled, before seeing that it was Brittany.
"Oh, sorry I thought you might be Puck again. I'm sorry but I can't hang out right now, bye." Rachel tried to close the door but Brittany stopped it with her foot.
"Rachel you can't keep hiding from us"
"I'm not hiding, I started going back to school two weeks ago, and now I'm sick so you shouldn't come in because I don't want you to catch anything" Once again Rachel attempted to close the door, but Brittany would not have any of it. Pushing Rachel back Brittany closed the door behind her and started to drag a protesting Rachel up the stairs and into her room while talking.
"I know everyone thinks I'm stupid, but I'm not that dumb. You're not sick you're sad, and you are avoiding us, you haven't been to glee club all month."
Brittany could see Rachel trying to come up with another excuse in her head and fail at it. Rachel's shoulders sagged and she fell onto her bed.
"I was completely blind-sided Britt".
"I know you were, that makes sense"
"What do you mean? Did you know? Did she tell you?"
"Yes I knew, but no she didn't tell me, it was so obvious. In freshmen year she picked on you and I was confused at first and though that Quinn was just being mean because she was head cheerleader, but then I watched. People think I'm stupid because I'm quiet a lot of the time, but they don't know that I'm watching and because of that I see things other people don't. I noticed that Quinn was extra mean to you herself but she would get mad when other people were mean to you. And she would always stare at you and stuff. There were so many signs but I don't know if I should be the one to tell you all of this. I think you should come and see Quinn."
"I can't Britt, what would I even say, she tried to kill herself because she was in love with me." Rachel's voice cracked on the word kill and tears started to roll silently down her face.
"I know you're with Finn, but have you ever thought… you know girls"
"What, have I ever thought about being with a girl?"
"Yeah, I know you have only been with boys, but I've been with boys too and now I'm with Santana…"
"I've never told anyone this because I didn't want to give kids another reason to bully me, but I've always gone with the principle that you fall in love with the person not the body, so yes I have found girls attractive before"
"I know Quinn was horrible to you but, you guys have become like best friends so have you ever thought?"
"I…"
Ding dong, the sound of the door bell broke into the two girl's conversation.
"If that's Puck I am going punch him." Brittany was shocked by Rachel's comment because she knew how much Rachel was against violence.
What did Puck do? And when did Rachel start calling him Puck instead of Noah?
Rachel stormed down the stairs with Brittany right behind her and ripped open the door. On the other side was not Noah Puckerman but instead stood a tall, red eyed Finn Hudson, the only other person in glee club besides Rachel who had gone MIA after Quinn's confession.
"Hey Rach"
Brittany who had been expecting Rachel to jump into to arms of her boyfriend who had been gone for so long was shocked when she slapped him instead, hard.
"Where the hell have you been Finn Hudson!"
IM SO SORRY ITS TAKEN SOOO LONG!
