Chapter 7
Finn called Rachel's phone again as he headed to his car. But he paused as he heard Spring Awakening music playing in the parking lot. His heart stopped as his eyes landed on Rachel's bag and phone lying in the spot next to his car. "Rachel? Rachel!" He screamed, hoping she was near by. But he received no answer. The parking lot was silent, with the exception of a few other students talking as they walked to their cars.
Finn sprinted back into the school and into the choir room. "Mr. Schu, Rachel's gone. Her bag and phone were on the floor by my car. I think Jesse took her." Finn spoke quickly as he felt his throat tighten and tears press against his eyes.
"Okay stay calm. I'll call the police."
Rachel felt her head throbbing as she slowly opened her eyes. The bloody gash on her arm stung, her skirt was slightly torn, and her jacket was missing. Her eyes wandered the unfamiliar room. There was a distinct odor, but Rachel could not tell what it was. She felt her body trembling as she slowly stood up. She looked around for a window, a door, someplace to escape. But there was nothing. She turned around and quietly walked towards an open door leading to another room. But suddenly Jesse was in her face. She gasped feeling her heart race twice the speed it had been. He grabbed her petite waist and slammed her body against the wall behind her. She whimpered as pain seared through her already sore body. She could practically feel the new bruises beginning to form beneath the surface of her skin.
Jesse's hands roamed her body roughly, causing Rachel to squirm. "Please stop, Jesse."
"I told you not to tell anyone. And what do you do? You go and tell the entire glee club."
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. They figured it out."
"I was there. You told them you fucking whore!" It sounded like enraged thunder as his hand clobbered her face. Her face swung to the side as she felt the burning sensation pulsing though her face. "I told you it would get worse if you told."
"Please just let me go. I won't tell them you took me. And I'll say I made everything up." She implored as tears poured from her eyes.
Jesse shook his head as he pulled at her fitted shirt, causing a tear to run across it. "It's too late. I want some fun."
Rachel shook her head as she began to sob silently. He slashed her shirt off, leaving her in her bra. Her body tensed as his hands assaulted her. She fought and thrashed but he returned her actions with a greater force, damaging her body further that it had been. "Help me! Somebody please help me!" She shrieked feeling her lungs on fire, but it was useless. She knew nobody was around. He had taken her somewhere abandoned where he could act on whatever he had planned without interruptions. "Somebody please help!"
"Shut up!" Jesse rattled her battered body repeatedly. He tore her skirt and underwear off and threw them across the room. She winced as his hands harassed her lower body, which still throbbed in pain from his previous attacks. She attempted everything in her power to stop him, but it was worthless. She was too weak and he was too strong. The only thing she was doing was causing herself more pain and abuse.
Finn sat in the school with the police and Mr. Schuester. He paced back and forth, unable to sit her any longer. It had been hours now. The police were searching for her, but they hadn't had a clue to where she could be. Finn pulled out his cell phone and called Puck. He wasn't staying here any longer. He was going to find his Rachel.
He stopped by Puck's house to pick him up. Puck had agreed to help Finn search for Rachel. They had called the rest of the glee club too. To let them know that Rachel was missing and if they heard anything to call.
"Please stop it! Please!" She cried as pain overwhelmed her body. What felt like hours- and was very well at least forty minutes- he finished with his brutal rape. It had been the worst and longest of them all.
"You're hot, but so annoying. Do you ever shut up?" He sighed as he wrapped a gag around her and threw the handcuffs around her aching wrists. He gave her one last kick before disappearing to the other room. Rachel choked on her sobs as she felt her breath shorten. She reached for her underwear with her feet, but her body was so stiff and painful. She had never experience such pain in her life. Not even when Finn had broken her nose or when a girl had tripped her in dance and she had fallen and broken her wrist when she was eleven.
She had somehow managed to pull on her underwear even though it had taken her at least twenty minutes. But it was worthless because they instantaneously were absorbed with the blood that began to quickly trickle down her thigh. She attempted to think of someway to escape but her head was pounding and there wasn't anyway to escape anyway. He had taken her to the middle of the woods and she could barely move.
A pained moan escaped from her lips as she tried to reach for her shirt. It was too far away and her body was too damaged to move further. She just wanted to be held by Finn. She wanted to be embraced in his large, muscular arms. She wanted him to tell her that it was going to be okay. That he was there to protect her. But she wasn't sure if she would ever even see him again. The thought caused her to cry even harder.
Rachel held her breath as Jesse returned, repeatedly walking around her. She kept her eyes locked on the hard ground beneath her. She let out a painful gasp as he collided his fist with her abdomen. She cringed at the sound of her ribs crunching. She gasped for air as his hands wandered her hurting body, invading her.
But suddenly a loud crash was produced from the mysterious other room. Jesse paused, his hands remaining still on Rachel's body. He turned his head, before slowly standing up. He disappeared, leaving Rachel alone.
Both Finn and Puck gasped as they entered the room. A trail of blood led to the traumatized brunette who was shaking violently and sobbing uncontrollably. She sat in the corner of the room, blood rapidly flowing down her legs. She was left in her bra and bloody underwear with a gag around her head and handcuffs tightly hugging her finger marked wrists. Her body was completely battered. She was covered in blood and bruises and scratches and marks.
She let out a whimper as Finn raced to her and Puck called 911. "Shh…shh. It's okay." Finn whispered even though they all knew it wasn't okay. He broke the handcuffs off of her aching, bruised wrists and untied the gag. He wrapped his arms around her, gently rubbing her back.
"They're on their way." Puck whispered, feeling sick as he looked at Rachel.
Rachel froze as Jesse returned. "Oh, but Rachel, our fun was just getting started."
Puck shook his head as he clenched his teeth. He pounced at Jesse and punched his chin, knocking him out. Rachel sobbed harder, suddenly blushing as she realized she was almost bare in front of the two of them. Finn pulled off his jacket and wrapped it around Rachel. He kissed the top of her head, before picking her up wedding style. "I'm not waiting here. They're not going to find us. I'm taking her to the hospital."
"Go, I'll wait here so he doesn't get away." Puck said.
"No dude. You're not staying here with him. He's not getting up anytime soon anyway. Come with me. Besides I need you to drive."
Puck nodded and followed Finn outside in the woods. They ran to Finn's car where Puck took the keys from Finn and Finn slipped in the back with Rachel. Puck quickly pulled on the road, heading towards the emergency room. Finn gently pressed the sleeve of his jacket between her legs in attempt to stop the blood. But she began to squirm. "Rachel, it's just me. It's Finn. I'm not going to hurt you. I'm just trying to stop the blood."
She slightly relaxed as they pulled into the emergency room. Puck quickly jumped out and Finn pulled Rachel out of the car, apologizing as she winced. They quickly entered the emergency room and Finn practically stumbled into the front desk. "Please help her. She was just assaulted. She's bleeding badly."
"Oh my." The woman lifted her head up from her computer, cringing at the young girl sobbing in Finn's arms. She pressed down on a button on the wall and spoke into it. "Can I get a gurney and medic down here immediately?"
A group of doctors busted through the doors, wheeling in a stretcher. Finn meticulously slipped Rachel onto it and planted a kiss on her forehead. "Finn, please don't leave me."
Finn looked at the doctors for approval. "If she wants you there, she can have you there."
"Thank you." Finn whispered as he intertwined his hand with Rachel's. He looked down at his shirt and a wave of nausea passed over him as he saw the amount of blood. Rachel's blood. "Puck, call the police and the glee club. Let them know we're at the hospital. And tell one of them to stop by Rachel's house to get her clothes and stuff. There's a spare key in the plant. And tell one of them to grab me a shirt. There's one at Rachel's house."
Puck nodded and took a seat in the waiting room. Rachel may have been obnoxious at times, but it killed him to see her like this. He did like her a lot. She didn't deserve this. She was always so innocent and that had been stolen from her.
