Rachel kept her head down as she walked to school that morning. Her cheek was still hurting after the attack last night. Rachel really didn't want to go to school. She didn't want anyone to see her. She had to go to school because she didn't want stay at home with Leroy. She had nowhere to go.
Rachel heard someone call her. "Rachel!"
Rachel turned around to see Finn run towards her. "Hey Rach."
"Hi Finn." Rachel said as she kept her head down.
Finn got worried when Rachel wouldn't look at him. "Are you okay, Rachel?"
Rachel nodded. "I'm fine."
Finn was really worried. Rachel was pale. Her eyes were red. "Are you sure your okay, Rachel?"
Rachel nodded again. Finn lifted Rachel's head so she could face him. Finn gasped when he saw the bruise on Rachel's cheek.
"Rachel, what happened?" Finn asked. "Did someone hurt you?"
Rachel nodded. "Finn, you promise you won't tell anyone?"
Finn nodded. "I promise. Now tell me what happened?"
"My daddy attacked me last night." Rachel said before she started crying.
Finn quickly took out his phone.
"What are you doing?" Rachel asked.
"I'm calling the police." Finn said back.
"No!" Rachel screamed as she tried to grab the phone out of Finn's hand. "You said you wouldn't tell anyone! You promised!"
"How long has he been doing this to you?" Finn asked.
"Since my dad died." Rachel cried.
Finn looked at the hysterical girl. He bent down and gently kissed the bruise on Rachel's cheek. "Does anybody else know?"
Rachel nodded. "Quinn and Santana know. Finn, what am I going to do? I can't let anyone see the bruise."
Finn wrapped his arms around Rachel. While Rachel rested her bruised cheek against Finn's chest.
"I'm going to walk you to school. Quinn and Santana will know what to do." Finn said.
Rachel nodded and looked up at Finn. "You promise you won't tell anyone?"
"If this gets any worse I will tell someone." Finn said as he hugged Rachel tightly. "I promise I will do everything I can to keep you safe."

"Puck!" Quinn called as she walked over to his locker.
"Oh, Hey Quinn." Puck said back.
"Did you talk to your mom yet?" Quinn asked as she leaned against the locker.
Puck nodded. "Yeah I told her. She wasn't happy."
"What are we going to do?" Quinn said. "I'm homeless."
Puck sighed. "Don't worry. We'll sort something out."
"We better. Do you have any idea how much money it costs to look after a baby?" Quinn said. "I have no home and no money."
Puck nodded. "I know. I'm not going to let you go through this alone."
"Good." Quinn said as she started to walk away. Quinn turned around and looked at Puck. "By the way, Congratulations. Your getting a daughter."
Puck stood there for a second with a shocked look on his face.

"Did you talk to Puck?" Santana asked when she saw Quinn walk over to her.
"Yeah, I talked to him." Quinn said as she leaned against the locker. "Santana, what am I going to do?"
"Don't worry. Me and Louisa are going to help you." Santana said.
Quinn sighed. "You and Louisa have enough going on. You don't need me and a baby."
Santana took Quinn's hand. "Don't worry. We will figure something out."
Quinn nodded. "Is Rachel here yet?"
Santana shook her head. "Not yet. She should be on her way now."
Just then Santana saw Rachel walk over to them with Finn. She got worried when she saw Rachel holding her hand to her cheek.
"Everything okay, Rach?" Santana asked as she walked over to her with Quinn.
"She needs your help." Finn said. Rachel slowly took her hand away from her cheek. Quinn and Santana gasped when they saw the bruise.
"Oh my god!" Quinn said as she covered her mouth.
"Your dad did that?" Santana asked. Rachel nodded.
"She doesn't want anyone to see the bruise." Finn said. "Is there anything you can do to cover it?"
Santana took a closer look at the bruise. "I think I might be able to cover it. Come with me and Quinn."
"Thank you, Finn." Rachel said.
"Your welcome. I'll see you later." Finn said before he kissed the top of Rachel's head. Rachel let go of Finn's hand and followed Quinn and Santana to the bathroom.

"Rachel, what did he do to you?" Quinn asked.
"He hit me last night." Rachel said back.
"I can cover the bruise with some make-up." Santana said before taking out her make-up bag. "Hold still."
"He knows about everything." Rachel said. "He knows that I've been avoiding him."
"So that plan isn't going to work anymore." Santana said as she started putting make-up on Rachel.
"So, what are we going to do now?" Quinn asked.
"I have no idea." Rachel said.
"Did he do anything else to you?" Santana asked.
"No, He just hit me. I ran to my room before he had a chance to do anything else." Rachel said.
"Rachel, you have to leave there." Quinn said, now getting very worried for her friend.
"I can't. I have nowhere else to go."
"Rachel, you can stay with us." Santana said.
"I don't want to cause you any trouble." Rachel said.
After Santana finished doing Rachel's make-up. She pulled Rachel into a tight hug. "It's going to be okay. I promise."
"Rachel, please stay with us?" Quinn asked. "Me and Santana don't want you to get hurt."
"Just let me think about it. Okay?" Rachel said.
Quinn sighed and nodded. "Okay."
Rachel looked at herself in the mirror. She couldn't see the bruise due to the make-up. Rachel turned to Santana and smiled. "You did a great job with the make-up, Santana."
"Thanks." Santana said with a small smile. "Ready to go to class?"
Rachel nodded before walking into the hallway with Quinn and Santana.

Later that night Rachel stood at her front door for a few minutes while getting herself ready to go inside. Her plan was to run straight her room and hope that her dad won't catch her. She quickly opened the door and went inside. She closed the door and started to run to her room. Her plan was unsuccessful. Before she got to the staircase she felt her dad grab her arm.
"You thought I forgot?" Leroy said. "Why are you so late home?"
"I was with a friend." Rachel said nervously.
"I wanted you to be home early!" Leroy shouted.
"Why? So you can beat me again?" Rachel shouted back.
Leroy slapped Rachel across the face. "What have I told you about talking back, Rachel Barbara Berry!"
"Why are you doing this to me?" Rachel said as she put her hand to her cheek. "Why are you blaming all this on me? Dad got run over by a car. The driver didn't stop on time! That had nothing to do with me!"
"You told him to go to the school! If he didn't go he would still be alive!"
Rachel was now getting very annoyed. She was tired of getting blamed for her dads death. "You know what? I'm glad that dad isn't here to see what a monster you are! You really think he's going to love you after everything your doing to me?"
Leroy grabbed Rachel and pushed her hard against the wall. "It's not all about you, you worthless bitch!"
Leroy grabbed Rachel's hair and pulled her into the kitchen.
"I hate you!" Leroy shouted as he pushed Rachel to the ground. Rachel watched Leroy walk over to the drawer.
Rachel sat there with tears going down her cheeks. She pulled herself up and stood against the wall as Leroy's words repeated in her head. Her daddy hated her. This time a few months ago he adored her and called her his Princess. Now he was beating her. Rachel's thoughts were interrupted when Leroy walked over to her with a knife in his hand.
"You should have been hit by that car! Not your dad!" Leroy shouted as he swung the knife at Rachel.
Rachel screamed as she lifted her hands to block her face but it was too late. She felt the knife cut the side of her face. Rachel cried in pain as she put her hand to the side of her face. She felt the blood on her hand. Leroy swung the knife again. This time it made contact with the upper part of Rachel's left arm. Rachel started to panic when she saw the amount of blood pouring from her arm. She used all of her energy to pull her dads hand away before the knife hit her again. She managed to get the knife out of Leroy's hand. She pushed Leroy off her and ran out of the house. She ran to the side of the house and got down behind the bins. She prayed her dad wouldn't find her. She quickly took out her phone and dialed a familiar number.

Meanwhile Santana was sitting on the couch reading a magazine while Louisa was cleaning. Quinn was sitting next to Santana watching another episode of '16 And Pregnant.'
"Is childbirth really painful?" Quinn asked nervously.
"Pain or no pain, that baby has to come out." Santana said as she put her magazine down.
"I wish you would stop watching that." Louisa said to Quinn.
Santana heard her phone ringing. She took it out of her pocket and looked at the Caller ID.
"Who is it?" Louisa asked.
"It's Rachel." Santana said before answering the phone. "What's up, Rachel?"
Quinn was about to turn her attention back to the TV when Santana started talking down her phone.
"Woah Rach, Calm down! What happened?" Santana said. Quinn and Louisa looked at each other.
"Okay Rach, Where are you?" Santana said. Quinn was now really worried.
"Okay stay there! I'll be there in 10 minutes!" Santana said before hanging up.
"What's going on?" Quinn asked.
"Something happened. Rachel was so hysterical I couldn't understand what she was saying. We need to go and get her. Louisa, can you take us to Rachel's house?"
Louisa nodded. "Yeah. Off course."
The three girls quickly got their things and left the house.

"Is this Rachel's house?" Louisa asked as she stopped the car.
Santana nodded. "Yeah this is it."
"Is Rachel inside?" Quinn asked.
"No. She said she was outside." Santana said as she opened the car door.
Quinn and Santana got out of the car and looked around for Rachel.
"Rachel?" Santana called. "Where are you?"
Santana turned around and saw Rachel run towards them. Santana froze when she saw Rachel covered in blood. "Oh my god!"
Rachel's arm and the side of her face were covered in blood. Quinn quickly wrapped her arms around Rachel. "Rachel, what happened?"
Louisa quickly out of the car and ran over to the girls. Rachel was crying so much that she couldn't breathe.
"Daddy...Knife." Was all she managed to say.
"He attacked you with a knife?" Santana said with a shocked look. "Rachel, where did he hurt you?"
Rachel lifted her left arm. She used her right hand to point to the side of her face.
Louisa quickly opened the boot of the car and she looked through bags that had clothes for the charity shop. She got two old t-shirts out of the bag. She closed the boot before going over to the girls.
"Hold this to your face, sweetie." Louisa said as she gave Rachel the t-shirt. Rachel nodded and held the t-shirt to her face to put pressure on the cut.
"Quinn, hold this to her arm." Louisa said as gave Quinn the second t-shirt.
Louisa went around the car and got back in the drivers seat. "Help her into the car. I'm taking her to the hospital."
Quinn and Santana carefully got Rachel into the car. Santana put her arm around her hysterical friend. Things were now worse.
