Disclaimer: I do not own glee, just the story line.
Beeep, beep, beep. That was the first thing I heard when I felt my senses. I was too tired to open my eyes, so I just laid there with my eyes closed, trying to remember why this uncomfortable bed isn't mine, why my whole entire body hurts, why my left arm and right arm felt heavy and why I hear beeping, usually I wake up by my alarm clock ringing out Defying Gravity. I took in a deep breath and opened my eyes. The first thing my eyes took in was my ugly hospital gown, I looked to my left and seen mum holding my hand and lying on her arm on the bed, to my right however was Noah, holding my hand, laying on my arm. I sniffed, the events from last night came flooding back: Jesse, the attack, Brittany. I gasped. He's the one who hurt Brittany, I have to tell someone. I felt someone stirring on my left. I turned my head slowly and came face to face with Shelby.
"Hi mummy". I whispered hoarsely as I felt how dry my throat actually was. Shelby smiled and got up and grabbed a cup of water, before she slowly placed the straw at my lips so I drank, slow at first, but then sped up. She took the cup away from my lips and sighed, Shelby placed the cup down and sat back down, holding my hand.
"Oh baby, I was so worried". Whispered Mum as she held my hand to her lips and kissed it.
"What happened?". I asked.
"You don't remember?". Gasped Shelby.
"Oh no, I remember what happened, but how did I get here, in this hospital?". I asked as Mum squeezed my hand. She sighed in relief.
"Well, after Jesse attacked you and you screamed, a police officer was on patrol and he came rushing over, called 911 and stayed with you until the ambulance came. You were shivering, he gave you his jacket. The doctor told me that if the police officer hadn't of given you his jacket, you would have died from hyperthermia". Said Shelby tearfully as she wiped her tears. I smiled at mum, before my gaze shifted to Noah.
"How long has he been here?". I asked. Shelby smiled once again.
"He came in when Britt, San and Quinn went home". Said Mum. I looked at mum confused, when were they there? Shelby sensed my confusion before she continued.
"When we got the call that you had been brought into the hospital, San, Quinn and Brittany came with me. They were my daughters. We stayed here for awhile, and then Noah showed up demanding they show him to his girlfriend's room". Said Mum. I smiled, if Noah wanted to see me, he would do anything to see me.
"Mum, can I tell you something?". I asked as I looked down at my hands.
"Sure baby, what's up?". Asked Mum as she squeezed my hand offering me support.
"I think I'm falling in love with Noah". I whispered, un sure of mums reaction. Shelby laughed.
"Why are you laughing?". I asked, confused by mums reaction.
"Baby, Noah came in at about 1am this morning, he told me that he couldn't bear to lose you because he loves you and that you're his soul mate". Replied Mum. I sat there staring at Shelby, unsure as to what to say, but I didn't get a chance to say anything because I felt the hand Noah was holding being squeezed. I looked to Noah and seen his eyes flutter open, showing me his brown eyes.
"Rach? You're awake". Gasped Noah as he felt my eyes on him.
"Hey Noah". I whispered as he threw his arms around my neck. Shelby squeezed my hand and quietly slipped out of the room. I put both of arms around Noah, he slipped into my bed beside me and held me, by the looks of it thou, he didn't intend to let go any time soon.
"Rach, I need to tell you something". Said Noah as he released me from the hug.
"Okay, you have my undivided attention Noah". I said as I looked up at him. Noah sighed and took a deep breath in.
"After you and Finn broke up, we kissed, and I said it was a mistake? Well, I was wrong. I really like you Rach, and nothing we do will ever be a mistake. I love you Rach, I have from the moment I seen you, but too shy to say so. What I'm trying to say is, um, um". Mumbled Noah showing his nerves.
"Yes Noah?". I whispered, knowing what he was going to say, but I wasn't about to say anything because I wanted him to say it first.
"Will you be my girlfriend?". Whispered Noah. I smiled and sighed.
"I thought you'd never ask". I replied as I wrapped my arms around his neck once more and kissed him. We got so caught up in the moment, that we didn't hear Shelby enter the room; we however did hear her clear her throat. We broke the kiss and looked at Mum sheepishly, before giving her my 100 kilowatt smile.
"I see someone is feeling much better and that two someone's got something of their chests". Said Mum. Noah and I just smiled before he kissed my head and slipped out of my bed.
A few days later, I returned home to find my glee family sitting in my lounge room waiting for me. I walked through the front door to hear everyone scream, "Welcome Home". I smiled, my family was here. I walked further into the house being pulled into multiple hugs, before sitting down with Noah wrapping his arm around me.
"So you're okay?". Asked Santana who had an arm around Brittany. I smiled, Santana didn't always show her kind side, but to some people, she had to.
"I am. I still have two broken ribs, and they re-set my nose, but I'm going to be okay. I promise". I said as I looked around the room, looking at all of them, making them know I was fine.
"Sweetie, when's your dads coming home?". Asked Shelby as he handed me a bottle of water and my pills. I put the pills in my mouth and swallowed them down with water.
"They were going to fly home the night of the attack, but I told them not to because I was going to stay with you until they got back". I replied smiling at mum. Shelby smiled.
"Okay sweetie". Replied Shelby as she kissed my head and went back into the kitchen. I sighed with relief, knowing that no matter what happened, I will always have people looking out to protect me.
"You haven't heard the bestest news yet have you?". Asked Brittany with a smile on her face.
"And what's that?". I asked, leaning back into Noah's arms.
"They caught Jesse". Replied Brittany with a smile. I looked around the room taking in everyone's expressions, they all held similar smiles. Someone actually had caught Jesse.
"How did it happen?". I asked confused. Santana looked at me confused.
"Puck didn't tell you?". Asked Santana. I shook my head.
"Tell me what?". I asked looking between the glee club members and Noah.
"He's the one who caught Jesse". Said Quinn with a smile.
"He did what now?". I asked, once again feeling confused. I looked at Noah demanding an answer with my eyes, he sighed.
"When we found out that you and Jesse left the restaurant, I ran out of the house. I was walking around when I realised that after your dates, you like to go for a walk in the park, I then went to the park, and seen the police officer run over to you, I would have ran over there as well, but I seen St Jerk running away. So I caught up to him, tackled him to the ground, the police then arrived. I went to see if you were still there, but the cop told me they took you to the hospital. So, I did my statement, and then they gave me a lift to the hospital". Replied Noah sitting there shrugging his shoulder as if it was nothing. I sniffled and wiped away the tears that began to fall from my eyes.
"You saved us, he can never hurt Britt and me again". I whispered as I turned my head into his shoulder.
"My hero".
