Chapter 11

So... Last chapter someone said that I had copied a cliffhanger from another author's story, and it made me really upset. I haven't copied this from anybody, yes there are likely to be similarites but I haven't intentionally copied anything. I appreciate constructive criticism but that wasnt constructive... anyways, enough complaining...

Sorry I haven't updated in a while but i got kinda sidetracked with christmas, new year and brithday plans. I promise that from now on it will be at least a chapter a week, otherwise you can all review and tell me i have neglected you :P

Sam instantly moved closer to Rachel and wrapped his arm around her in a protective manner, there was no way in hell this woman was finding her way back into Rachel's life. As soon as his arm touched her back, he felt that Rachel was shaking, she was terrfied of this woman.

"Rachel? You are so big now ba-"

"Erm, I don't think so. After what you put her through, I don't think you should be allowed to walk this Earth, let alone waltz back into her life, calling her 'babe'. Can you not see how terrified she is? No child should be forced to be scared of her mother. It isn't fair." Sam had managed to hold back most of what he wanted to say, because he knew that Rach probably didn't want the rest of the Glee Club to find out.

He looked over to Rachel and saw the pleading look in her eyes, she was silently asking him to save her, to get her away from the monster that claims to be her mum. He clasped her hand in his and helped her stand up and guided her away from the sea of curious faces. As soon as the choir room door closed,, Rachel's body started to shake and she sank towards the floor, she was sobbing hysterically and was finding it difficult to breath.

As soon as she had walked into the room, all the memories from Rachel's childhood came flooding back to her. The bruises, the horrible feeling of harrassment, the cold eyes that she saw every night before going to sleep and even in her dreams she couldnt escape the beast. Even in her dreams she felt the freezing grasp of her mother's hands around her hips, and her breath on her throat. It seemed even worse when she was recalling it than it did when it was happening. Probably because when it was actually happened Rachel spent most of the time passed out on the floor, completely defenceless.

Sam held Rachel around the waist as he tried to pick her up so that he could carry her all the way back to his house where he could look after her and make sure that she knows she is safe with him.

On the way back to his house Rachel calmed down a little, she was still holding onto to Sam as though her life depended on it though. As they were walking she was thinking how lucky she was to have a boy like Sam, a boy that truly loved her and would defend her through any thing.

They reached the front door and Rachel found herself propped up against the door frame as Sam rummaged through his bag for his keys. When he found then he linked his arm with Rachel's and guided her to the sofa where she lay motionless. All her energy had dissapeared and she was frozen with fright.

They both fell asleep on the sofa trying to stay calm and not think about it too much. They would tell Mr. Shue tomorrow that they didn't want 'Ms. Gilroy' to teach them anymore, and then she would be gone. Forever.

Sam woke up to a knocking at the back door. He slowly removed his arm from around Rachel and went over to the door. He found the key on the hook and unlocked it, expecting to see either Puck or Finn on the other side. Or maybe a worried Kurt and Mercedes.

It was neither, it was someone he had hoped never to have to see, followed by two well built men. Sam's eyes narrowed into slits as he tried to shut the door and lock it again. He almost managed but one of the men barged the door and it flew off of it's hinges.

Sam was pushed against a wall with a large hand around his throat, almost cutting of his oxygen supply.

"Where is she? I followed you here, I know that she came with you. Now, where is she?"

Sam was struggling to breath and he played this to his advantage. He deliberately struggled against the man's hand until it was tightened and Sam's breathing became even more laboured and his eyelids became heavy.

"Samuel. Tell me where she is and you will be let go. WHERE IS SHE?"

Sam had no strength, and was completely unable to answer. He soon felt a huge fist colliding with the side of his face, and then another blow to his stomach. He collapsed onto the floor and let the blanket of unconciousness surround him. He felt the vibrations on the floor of the three people storming past him towards where Rachel was laying, but he could not move. He was pinned to floor.

His thoughts became cloudier, and he blacked out.
