CHAPTER 8
"She was raped."
The Unholy Trinity stared in shock. Frozen in fear that his words were true.
"What?" Brittany squeaked. Quinn and Santana were still staring at him as if waiting for someone to jump out and tell them they just got punk'd.
"A few weeks ago." Puck began. "She was in the auditorium practicing when the guy shut the lights off and attacked her. He pinned her down and raped her." Puck took a shaky breath. "She found out she was pregnant and panicked. She wanted to tell you but didn't know how. Then Sue did it for her."
"Why didn't she tell us when Sue found out?" Brittany asked.
"You know Rachel, she has hope. She hoped Sue wouldn't tell or figure it out. But she did and outed her secret. I mean when she and Finn hung out that one time you accused her of trying to leave you three. You barely let her explain then she feared the same for this." Puck sighed heavily.
That's when Santana noticed the bag. "What's that?" she asked.
"The clothes she was wearing the day it happened. She had it shoved under her sink." Puck answered.
"Why haven't you given that to the cops?" Quinn shouted.
"Because Brittany's mom told me that it is evidence and I can bring it in to report the rape but Rachel never told us who it was. Lacey was close to getting it out but didn't." Puck said running a hand through his Mohawk.
"Why?" Brittany asked.
"She was afraid of going to the cops because then everyone would know what happened and she couldn't stand the looks and the talk." Lauren said.
"We would have been there for her damn it!" Santana screamed grabbing one of the pillows and hugging it to her smelling Rachel's shampoo on it.
"Where did she go?" Brittany asked.
"She asked that we don't tell you that." Lauren said.
"Why?" Quinn asked.
"She's afraid you'd go after her." Puck said. "She wants you all to be happy and doesn't want to ruin your lives." Puck said. "She's been thinking about it. Even if you would have let her explain and told her you'd be there for her she didn't want to bring you guys down with her."
"She thinks you wouldn't want to raise a child that isn't yours." Lauren put in.
"So she thought leaving would be a good idea?" Santana shouted.
"Not her best idea but she had been thinking about it for a while now and her fathers support her but don't agree on the leaving." Lauren said. "Lord knows Lacey was trying her hardest to not call Rachel a coward."
"That's because she isn't." Puck said defensively.
"I'm just saying. Rachel is being strong by telling people what happened but she left and she wouldn't even tell anyone who did it." Lauren said. "Think about it. Lacey is the one who isn't as close to Rachel as you, her brother or her dads. If you look at it Puckerman, Lacey has been the voice of reason."
"Lacey and Rachel are close. Lacey raised hell once for Rachel. Aaron is her older brother so he feels as if he failed in protecting her and her fathers feel the same. Lacey grew up an only child; she doesn't understand sibling relationships." Puck argued and Lauren rolled her eyes.
"I've had heart to heart talks with Lacey." Lauren said. "She grew up with her father who taught her everything she knows on how to take care of family. Lacey is very family oriented Puck but someone had to be calm and stay strong for them."
"Ok, so she hasn't yelled yet or made death threats to the bastard who did this. She doesn't have to be strong for all of them." Puck said.
"You also have to acknowledge the fact that it was still just Lacey and her dad. She never knew what it was like to have a younger sibling till Rachel. She had one dad and gaining Hiram and Leroy gained her two more dads. She never knew a mother's love and so she can sympathize with Rachel on that. Both have met their mothers but never had an actual relationship with them." Lauren pointed out.
"What are you saying?" Puck asked.
"What I'm saying is Lacey doesn't want to lose her cool because she's afraid that if she does everything will become a mess." Lauren said. "She's taking care of things she knows is too painful for them. Shopping for the baby, things needed for the pregnancy. She went out and bought the pregnancy test because it helped Aaron and Hiram and Leroy wrap their heads around it and accept for certain that Rachel is pregnant. Did you know Lacey put together a list of vegan foods for Rachel that will help give her the right nutrients for her pregnancy and she already has a list of names boy and girl and their meanings printed out?"
Puck was shocked. Santana, Quinn and Brittany were hanging their heads in shame. That was what they were supposed to do. Yet they let everything fall apart. They didn't push it and they didn't go after her that day Sue blabbed.
"Wow, Lacey did all that?"
Lauren nodded. "Just so Rachel wouldn't have to worry about it when the time comes."
"That should have been us." Brittany sniffled. "We should have done that for her."
"Why didn't she just tell us?" Santana asked.
"Why didn't you go after her when Sue blabbed?" Puck asked and Quinn flinched.
"We were shocked and upset." Quinn said.
"So was I but I went after her no questions asked." Puck said. "Now she's gone and she's pregnant, she was raped and we have no idea who it was."
It was Wednesday morning when they arrived at the house the Berrys would call home for who knows how long. Aaron, Hiram, Leroy and Lacey went to put the beds up and carried the couch in.
Once they were set up Aaron carried a still sleeping Rachel to her room and tucked her in.
Lacey walked in with some soup a few hours later and woke Rachel up.
"Hey, you need to eat something. I don't want you dry heaving later. I brought you some saltines as well." Lacey said softly holding the packet of crackers out to Rachel who gingerly took them and then the soup.
"I've been thinking." Rachel said.
"About what?"
"What you told me that night. About surviving." Rachel took a sip of her soup. Lacey just gave her look to continue. "His name is David Karofsky. He's on the football team. He always picked on me. I was his favorite target I guess other than Kurt and then when I started dating Santana, Brittany and Quinn it all stopped. Because Santana has a reputation being a badass and she can beat people up. Brittany is nice and hurting her might as well be a death wish because Quinn and Santana beat this kid up for just calling her stupid. She isn't stupid she just sees the world differently." Rachel said.
"David Karofsky is the one who raped you?" Lacey asked and Rachel nodded. Lacey kissed the top of her head. "You're strong Rachel."
"Are you going to tell anyone?" Rachel asked.
"Just Noah; who will tell people. I mean did you get rid of everything? Evidence wise?" Lacey asked and Rachel thought for a second and shook her head.
"No. I kept the clothes in a bag under my sink. Noah probably has it now." Rachel sighed.
"Are you ok with me telling him? Because you can't go back after I do. Everyone is going to find out and then it's going to make headlines or whatever." Lacey said.
Rachel knew what she meant. Lacey was her father's only child but her dad had many siblings and many connections thanks to his father.
"Well then I guess I'm glad I have you to raise all of Unholy Hell." Rachel said and Lacey smiled. She pulled out her phone but then shook her head.
"You tell him." Lacey said. "If you could tell me you can tell them." Lacey said and Rachel pulled her phone out from under her pillow.
Rachel flipped it opened and sent Puck a text.
Puck had just gotten out for lunch break when his phone went off.
'It was David Karofsky.-R'
Puck growled and Lauren walked up to him.
"You ok?" She asked seeing the rage on his face. He shook his head and handed her his phone before stalking off. Lauren read it and gasped pulling out her phone. She called Quinn.
Quinn stared at her phone in confusion.
"Hello?"
"Lucy Q it was Karosky. Puck is on his way to kick his ass."
Quinn knew immediately what she meant. "We're on our way. Where are you?" Quinn asked.
After telling Quinn where she thought Puck was heading Lauren continued after him staying on the line as she heard Quinn get Santana and Brittany.
Puck found Karofsky getting ready for their lunch time practice in the locker room. He charged at Karofksy tackling him to the floor. He began to rain down blows wherever he could hit as Lauren ran in at the same time Coach Beiste ran out of her office to see the commotion.
Not ten seconds later the Unholy Trinity burst through the doors.
Coach Beiste pulled Puck away just for Santana to start hitting him.
"You raped her! You sick fucking bastard you raped her!" Santana shouted and continued to shout similar sentences as she continued to hit him along with Quinn while Brittany tired to get in there but Sam was holding her back.
"What the hell is going on?" Beiste shouted.
Some were still shocked and some were videotaping and cheering.
Finn grabbed Quinn and Mike was trying to pry Santana away with Azimio.
Coach Beiste shoved Puck into the arms of another player and helped successfully pry Santana away from Karofsky.
Lauren was one of the people videotaping. She knew it would make good evidence for court.
"What the hell is going on?" Coach shouted this time louder.
"He raped her! He raped Rachel!" Quinn shouted fighting against Finn.
Sam released Brittany in shock and Brittany charged at the now standing Karofsky kneeing him in the crotch.
"Try and use it now asshole!" Brittany shouted.
Everyone gasped. Brittany wasn't the type to curse or condone violence.
"What the hell are they talking about?" Coach demanded looking at Karofsky who was still curled in a fetal position holding his jewels.
"A month ago he raped Rachel in the auditorium! He told her no one would believe her!" Puck shouted. "Well you can't deny it fucker!" he spat. "Because she's pregnant! And everyone knows Rachel would never cheat on her girlfriends!"
It was true. It was common knowledge that Rachel was devoted to them and them her. And each other.
"To Figgins office! NOW!" Coach shouted grabbing Karofsky off the floor.
Review please. I really want to know what you guys think.
I promise the next chapter will be longer.
