Rachel was surprised when she didn't see Quinn at her locker that morning. Every morning the girls met up at Quinn's locker. Rachel had no idea where Quinn was. Rachel walked towards her locker when she saw Santana. Santana smiled and waved before walking over to Rachel.

"Quinn is at home sick today." Santana said when she got over to Rachel. "It's just you and me today, Berry."

"Is Quinn okay?" Rachel asked.

Santana nodded. "She will be fine. Don't worry."

"Will you come to my locker with me? I need to get some books." Rachel said.

Santana nodded. They both started walking towards Rachel's locker. After what happened on Friday when Rachel stayed with Santana, both Santana and Quinn came up with an idea to keep Rachel safe. Rachel leaves her house early in the morning. She goes out with Quinn and Santana. Late that night Rachel can go home hopefully when her dad is asleep. When Rachel is at home she can stay in her bedroom with the door locked. That way her dad can't hurt her. It wasn't a great plan but it was the best they could come up with.

"Did you dad see you this morning?" Santana asked.

Rachel shook her head. "No. Your plan is working so far. He didn't hurt me since Friday."

"Thank God." Santana said. "Rachel, please stay with me longer?"

"Santana, I can't." Rachel said when they arrived at her locker.

"Rachel, please." Santana said. "I don't want you to get hurt."

"I don't want to leave my dad." Rachel said as she opened her locker.

"What? Rachel he's using you as a human punching-bag." Santana said.

Rachel sighed. "I know but my dad is dead and my daddy is all I have left. If I leave I won't have anyone."

Santana took Rachel's hand. "You have me."

Rachel gave Santana a small smile. "It won't be the same. I'm talking about having parents."

"Rachel, your in danger." Santana said. "Please just tell someone. I can take you to Ms Pillsbury's office."

Rachel looked down. "I'm so confused. I don't know what to do. I still haven't accepted the fact that my dad is dead. I just need some time to think."

"Promise you won't keep everything to yourself? Promise you will talk to me or Quinn?" Santana asked.

Rachel nodded. "I promise."

Rachel got her books out of her locker and she started walking to class with Santana.

"I'm going to visit Quinn after school. You coming?" Santana asked.

Rachel nodded. "Yeah. Off course. Santana, can I ask you something?"

Santana nodded. "Yeah what is it?"

"Why are you so worried about me and my dad?"

Rachel asked.

Santana looked down and sighed. "I'm still not ready to tell you, Rachel."

"Are you ever going to tell me?"

Santana nodded. "I'll tell you when I'm ready."

Both girls were interrupted

when they saw Finn run over to them.

"Santana, where's Quinn?" He asked.

Santana crossed her arms. "She's at sick, Finn."

Finn got a worried look on his face. "What? Is she okay?"

Santana rolled her eyes. "You really have to stop worrying. She just has the flu or something."

Finn nodded. "Okay. Just tell her I'll text her later."

"No worries. I will." Santana said.

"Thanks." Finn looked at Rachel and smiled before walking away.

Santana laughed and looked at Rachel. "You know, Finn always had a huge crush on you."

Rachel gave Santana a shocked look. "Really?"

Santana nodded. "He's dating Quinn but I know he still likes you. Do you like him?"

Rachel looked away from Santana. "No."

"Yes you do." Santana laughed as she put her arm around Rachel. "You are such a liar."

Rachel laughed. "Okay. I like him. How did you know?"

"Cause I'm good with relationships and all that." Santana said.

"C'mon we're going to be late." Rachel said as she took Santana's hand and they walked to the classroom.

"Come in." Quinn yelled when she heard a knock on her bedroom door.

"Hey Quinn." Rachel said as she walked into the room with Santana. They both froze for a moment when they saw a very pale Quinn lying in the bed.

"How are you feeling, Quinn?" Santana asked as she sat down on the bed.

"Horrible. I'm better then I was this morning." Quinn looked over at Rachel who was still standing at the door. "Rachel, sit down."

Rachel went over and sat down on the bed next to Santana.

"So what's wrong with you?" Santana asked.

"I don't know." Quinn said back. "I'm really tired. I was throwing up all morning."

"Maybe you have the flu or something." Rachel said.

Quinn nodded. "That's what my mom said."

Quinn sat up and looked at Rachel. "How's things at home?"

"It's fine." Rachel said.

Santana smiled. "Our plan is working so far."

Quinn took Rachel's hand. "Are you going to tell someone, Rachel? You can't hide this forever."

Rachel nodded. "I will tell someone if it get's worse."

"You promise?" Quinn asked.

Rachel smiled and nodded. "I promise."

"Your boyfriend was having a panic attack today." Santana said. "I told him that you were sick and he thought you were dying."

Quinn rolled her eyes. "He worries to much."

"Santana said the exact same thing." Laughed Rachel.

Quinn laughed. "That's because we spend so much time with him."

"That's what he's like." Santana said, laughing.

"Thanks for coming to see me." Quinn smiled. "I was so bored I thought I was going to lose my mind."

"When are you coming back to school?" Rachel asked.

"Tomorrow or the next day." Quinn said. "When I get my energy back."

"Hurry up and get your energy back. School is so boring without you." Santana said.

Quinn looked at Rachel and gave her a worried look. "Are you sure your going to be okay at home?"

Rachel smiled. "I'll be fine. Hopefully my dad will be asleep when I get home. I don't want you to worry about me. Just focus on getting better."

Quinn smiled and pulled Rachel into a hug. Santana also joined in.

"Thank you." Rachel said.

Quinn and Santana looked at her.

"Thank you for what?" Quinn asked.

"For being amazing friends." Rachel smiled before pulling the girls into another hug. Rachel smiled to herself know she had great friends to help her.
