A/N just gonna jump right in on CHAPTER TEN!(:
As soon as the gunshot rang, Finn waited to feel the bullet. He waited to get hit and fall to the ground. But it never happened. And that meant-
"RACHEL!" He yelled, running to his girlfriend's side. She was sprawled out on the ground, bleeding from her abdomen. Jacob was a few feet away, curled up into a ball.
"F-Finn?" Rachel stuttered as she grasped at the wound.
"Rach, baby, I'm right here, okay? It's going to be okay I promise you." Finn brushed the hair out of Rachel's face and wiped away her tears.
"I love you." She whispered.
"I love you too babe. But you gotta stay awake, we have to get you help." Finn scooped Rachel up and pulled her close to him, took one glance at all of her blood already left behind, so much blood from such a tiny little girl, and took off running toward the choir room.
Finchel!
Everyone was sitting around the choir room talking amongst themselves when the shot went off.
"What the hell was that!" Puck yelled, breaking out of his talk with Mike about Super Mario Brothers.
"I don't know, you guys just stay here and calm down." Mr. Schuester stood up and looked around nervously. That wasn't a gunshot. No way, why would someone shoot a gun in WMHS? WHO would shoot a gun at WMHS? No way.
"What about Finn and Rachel?" Artie whispered, not wanting to believe what was lingering at the backs of everyone's mind. They both could very well be dead. Then the door swung open. Finn came running in, carrying a bleeding Rachel in his arms.
"He shot her! The gun went off and he shot Rachel!" Finn yelled. The whole glee club was shocked. Will ran up to Finn and tried to calm him.
"Whoa Finn slow down! Lay Rachel down here." Mr. Schuester patted the top of the piano, but Finn just clutched a barley awake Rachel tighter to his chest.
"W-What if he comes back in here? And shoots her again?"
"Just lie her down so we can help her and find out what happened!" Artie wheeled up and Finn slowly nodded and lied Rachel down on the piano. She groaned and clutched Finn's T-Shirt.
"Don't leave me!" She moaned and Finn stroked her hair.
"I'm not gonna leave you Rach, we're gonna help you." Puck jumped up and pulled Quinn with him.
"What the hell happened Finn?" he yelled as Mercedes cried on the phone with the 911 dispatcher.
"J-Jacob shot her! He was gonna shoot me but he shot Rachel! And YOU didn't believe her! YOU got her shot!" Finn yelled, still shaking.
"Finn calm down! Yelling and blaming people isn't going to help Rachel!" Quinn screamed, defending Puck.
"Like you've ever cared about helping Rachel!" Finn snapped.
"Finn… it's okay…I'm okay…" Rachel spoke up softly.
"Rach, I'm sorry. Let's get you outta here, you're going to be just fine." Finn directed his attention back to his bleeding girlfriend.
"J-Jacob. H-He'll kill you." Rachel was speaking so quietly that Finn's face was mere inches from hers.
"I'll be fine baby. We gotta take care of you now, okay?" Rachel nodded slightly and her eyelids started to droop.
"I'm so tired, Finn." She whispered, even quieter than before.
"I know Rach but you have to stay awake. Please, for me?"
"I'm trying…" Rachel moaned.
"Rachel, I know we don't show it a lot, but we care about you and glee wouldn't be the same if you weren't here…" Artie started, wheeling up next to Mr. Schuester, who was trying to stop the blood steadily streaming out of Rachel.
"Thankks." She muttered, her eyes never leaving Finn's. If she were to die, right here on this piano, Finn Hudson's eyes were the last ones she wanted to look into.
"Finn, we have to take her outside to wait for the ambulance." Mercedes stood up from talking to the dispatcher.
"Okay." Finn just lifted Rachel's tiny frame up in his arms, bridal style. "Rach, just hold on for me. You're almost our of here and to the hospital." He whispered into her hair as he carried her out to the parking lot.
"Finn…" She whispered and he pulled his head down so she could communicate easily, "I love you." Rachel kissed his temple and closed her eyes.
