)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
The morning light found itself staring at the two girls in Rachel's bed. Quinn slowly opened the door to check on them and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the positioning. It was the same as when she discovered them in the hospital but with Kara doing what Rachel had done to her and vise versa. Slowly she walked over to the desk where Rachel kept her camera and turned it on. Making sure the flash was off Quinn took several photos of the couple that she and Santana would use to lovingly tease aka blackmail the two girls with.
Once she was sure that she had enough evidence she decided to look through the photos to see how they turned out. As Quinn flipped through them she accidently pressed the button too quickly and it took her to a completely different set of photos. The young mother couldn't help but gasp causing Kara to wake up and slightly freak out in her position. However, the photographer managed to wiggle her way out of Rachel's embrace without waking her and looked to find what had made the noise that caused her to awaken so early on a Saturday morning. Her blue eyes rested on Quinn, whose face had lost all color as her mouth hung open.
"Quinn? What's wrong?" The blonde mutely handed her the camera and she swore lightly under her breath while feeling sick to her stomach. There on the tiny screen in front of her was the evidence of Jeese's abuse. At first it only seemed like bruises but as the photos went on the abuse got worse and worse. Turning off the camera and closing her eyes Kara was desperately trying to keep herself from throwing up.
"We need to take this to my dad."
"Wait why do we need to show this to your dad?" Quinn asked scared of where this might lead.
"It's nothing bad Quinn but remember how Alex told us they lost the evidence. This could really help the case because it proves a pattern of abuse. " She watched the young mother nod.
"I just-I don't want to leave her alone." Quinn admitted deathly afraid of something happening to her the moment they turned their backs.
"Alright, I left my car outside. I'll head to the police station. In the mean time you go back to bed and enjoy spending time with your man and little one. I'm sure Santana or Brittney will be more than happy to do Berry guard duty. Right?" The guitar player asked recalling the Glee sleep over before Sectionals when they went to grab Santana and Brittney or Brittana, to go met the bus to get to Sectionals. Both her and Tina along with Rachel and Quinn screamed as they caught the two in a rather interesting position that resulted in Santana chasing the four of them through the Jones house with Brittney trailing behind screaming at Santana not to kill them.
"I'm sure if you knock this time, you won't be killed." Quinn winked as she yawned.
"Go back to bed Quinn, you've been doing way too much this week. Rest. The rest of us have got it covered." Kara stated as she gently nudged Quinn towards the door.
"I'm going, I'm going. And remember I'm watching you." Kara felt herself shudder as Quinn glared at her as if to dare her into kissing or holding her sister in her presence.
"Got it. Now shoo." With a flicking of her wrist the ex cheerleader smirked and left. Quickly looking around Kara pulled on the jeans and long sleeve shirt that she had discarded in the middle of the night. Finally as she was finished dressing she leaned over the bed and kissed Rachel's forehead causing the diva to sigh in contentment.
"I love you Rachel Barbara Berry. I hope to tell you that in person one day." Kara whispered as she placed another kiss on her hopefully one day girlfriend before walking out the door. She was unaware that as she closed the door, Rachel's eyes opened a crack as she sat up. Rachel had been awake since Quinn had found the camera, however the only thing that was on her mind was the two very warm and sweet kisses that had been placed on her forehead along with her friends words. Shaking her head her hands picked idlely at the bandages still wrapped around her wrists. Her emotions and thoughts were still all over the place but one thing was clear. She was a freak who didn't deserve love from anyone, all she deserved was pain.
Santana and Brittney watched as Kara waved at them from her car before pulling it out onto the street and heading towards the police station.
"I go check on Rach. Why don't you start breakfast for everyone ok?" Santana asked Brittney earning a wide smile in return.
"Yay! I love making breakfast, I'll make pancakes." Brittney planted a kiss on her girlfriend's cheek before bouncing off into the kitchen humming a song about pancakes and kittens in the sky. She chuckled as Santana made her way up the stairs, hoping her favorite (and only) midget was doing better this morning. Gently she opened the door to find a sight that she never wished to see. Rachel was sitting in the middle of her bed white sheets stained with blood as a bloodily razor still managed to gleam in the dim light of the room.
She couldn't make out the tan skin of the diva's arms as they were completely covered in blood that was dripping onto the sheets below her. What was the worst part about it for Santana was her friend's eyes. The normal doe like eyes that held so much expression were dim and muted making her wonder if her friend was dead.
"Rachel." She gently called out only to get no response. Santana continued walking forward afraid that she would scare the diva. However she was able to stand next to Rachel and not have the singer freak out in the slightest. Her fingers took the razor away and chucked it across the room without a reaction from the other brunette. Rachel seemed to be too far gone in the painful pleasure that she had put herself through. Santana went into the bathroom and retrieved a first aid kit along with a wet wash cloth. Sitting on the bed next to Rachel, she gently grasped an arm before placing the warm wash cloth against the skin to clean away the blood.
She narrowed her eyes when she saw a phrase that Rachel craved into her arm. Love me not taunted her as she finished cleaning off the rest of the fragile girl's arms. Slowly Santana bandaged the wounds before looking up at Rachel trying to see if she had earned some sort of reaction. The diva's face was still set in the same blank expression .
"Rachel, why? I thought you were getting better." Santana asked wondering what had happened.
"Just go." Rachel whispered as her gaze remained glued to the bloody sheets.
"No. I'm not leaving you alone Rachel. Not when you do something like this." The Latina felt a small shiver (not that she would admit that to anyone.) of fear run down her spine as Rachel fixed her a glare filled with such venom that Santana felt like she would be dead in a heatbeat.
"Get out." The singer's voice rose as she continued to glare at Santana.
"I'm not leaving you alone!" Santana raised her voice to match the other girl's volume.
"Leave me alone!" The tough cheerleader was caught off guard as Rachel's arms hit her square in the chest causing her to topple backwards and land awkwardly with a painful thud and a pained ooh as her side met hard ground.
Downstairs Brittney had finished making the last pancakes and was about to start on the toast when she heard a thump come from Rachel's room. Her blue eyes widened as she bolted towards her friend's room hoping that it was only a book falling to the floor. Instead she found Santana lying on the ground gasping for breath with Rachel crawling towards a corner of her room to grab a razor. Rushing over to Santana she held her girlfriend's head as Santana finally was gaining her breath back.
"Stop Rachel." Santana choked as Brittney nodded. Turning towards the singer she noticed that Rachel had a razor in her hand. Walking over towards the girl she began to speak.
"Rae, come on now, give me the razor."
"Fuck off Brittney" Rachel growled wanting nothing more than to be left alone in a world of pain that she could control and dictate. A slap to her wrist knocked the razor out of the diva's hand finding herself restrained by someone locking her arms behind her back along with wrapping their legs from behind her only to bolt them against hers and pinning them to the floor. She began to wildly struggle against Brittney in an vain attempt to break free of the stronger girl's grip.
"Rae, stop it! You're gonna hurt yourself!" The words only served to intensify the future Broadway star's struggle as she attempted to rip her arms out of the hold they were in.
"Let me go! You bitch! I'll kill both of you if you don't-" Rachel found herself pinned to the ground with a very pair of angry blue eyes staring at her.
"I know your heart is hurting but don't ever, ever threaten San again! I will end you!" Rachel whimpered as her heart pounded in fear at the change in one of her closest friends. Brittney realized that Rachel began to tense under her as the singer screwed her eyes shut trying to block out memories of Jeese. She felt the arms that were pinning her remove themselves as she slowly opened her brown eyes. Brittney sat on the floor next to her with a small smile.
"I'm sorry Rae but I don't wanna lose Santana. But there's pancakes and toast down stairs and I'm sure we can make you some fruit salad too!" Brittney exclaimed back to her old self in a few seconds. Rachel blinked her eyes before looking at Santana who had a very hungry look on her face as her eyes were staring at her blonde.
"Babe, that was the hottest fuckin thing ever!" Santana growled and looked ready to pounce on Brittney causing Rachel to pale even further. Brittney smiled at Santana and Rachel tried to use that as a distraction to get her razor back. However, the blonde noticed and plucked it away.
"Please, give it to me!" Rachel begged clawing at Brittney's hand that was held high above her.
"No, Rae. Your heart won't get fixed that way." The blonde stated as Rachel looked at her with wild frantic eyes and doubled her efforts to get the razors back.
"Please! Brittney I need it! Please!" The singer began to break down again crying as her emotions went hay wire from the withdrawal from the pills that she had been placed on. Brittney gathered the smaller girl into her arms and began to sing to her.
"Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around.
Nothing's gonna harm you, no sir, not while I'm around.
Demons are prowling everywhere, nowadays,
I'll send 'em howling,
I don't care, I got ways." Brittney smirked as she continued to sing to the crying girl in her arms.
"No one's gonna hurt you,
No one's gonna dare.
Others can desert you,
Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there.
Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while,
But in time...
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around...
Not to worry, not to worry
I may not be smart but I ain't dumb" Brittney smiled because she was just smart in a way that most people didn't understand. Opening her mouth to continue singing she was surprised that Santana joined in and took over singing.
"I can do it, put me to it
Show me something I can overcome
Not to worry, Mum
Being close and being clever
Ain't like being true
I don't need to,
I would never hide a thing from you,
Like some...
No one's gonna hurt you, no one's gonna dare
Others can desert you,
Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there!
Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while
But in time...
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around..." The three girls sat in silence before Santana spoke.
"Look, Rach, we all love you. And you can't keep doing this to yourself. Please let us help you."
"I'm scared." Rachel replied letting a tiny bit of fear be carried in her voice.
"I know, we're going to be there every step of the way. " Santana smiled at Rachel as Brittney nodded from behind her.
"Okay." The small singer smiled slightly.
"Alright. Now I'z hungry and I'z wantz to get my food on." The Latina smiled at them as they all stood up and headed towards the kitchen. Puck and Quinn were already in the kitchen with Olivia, the three chatting as the other trio came in. Noah was the first to notice the fresh bandages on Rachel's arms. Walking over to her he enveloped her in a hug letting her know that he still her friend before planting a kiss on her forehead. Olivia mirrored Quinn's frown at the sight of the bandages and would speak to the girl about them later. Quinn on the other hand hugged her sister next before pulling away and looking into her eyes.
"I love you, no matter what, you know that right?" Rachel nodded before being pulled into another hug.
"Alright enough sappy shit. Let's eat." Santana ordered as all of them got to eat. Olivia enjoyed hanging out with five teens and complimented Brittney on the wonderful pancakes. After they were finished eating Kara entered the room with Alex and Sunshine.
"Rachel!" Sunshine called out to her friend and the two girls embraced. The singer smiled at the other soprano as she began to talk about living with Olivia and Alex.
"I have my own room Rachel!" The teen girls words struck a cord in all of their hearts and the glee kids vowed to get to know her better.
"So where are you going to go to school Sunshine?" Kara asked and got a smile in return.
"I get to go to McKinley once Winter Break is over." Rachel hugged her friend again a pure smile of joy on her face.
"That's great! You can be in New Directions and we can talk about ducks!" Brittney gushed causing the other people in the room to chuckle.
"Anyways, Rachel we stopped by to tell you that we have new evidence on Jeese and to return your camera to you." Alex said as she handed the camera to Rachel.
"New evidence, I don't-" She felt her eyes widen as she opened the port where the memory card was suppose to find it was empty. Rachel lowered her head in shame as she realized that everyone had most likely seen what Jeese had did to her. Before anyone could stop her she ran out the door into the distance.
"Shit!" Kara yelled as she ran after her.
"Rachel!" She screamed as the girl ran faster into a park weaving through the trees trying to lose the other girl. The photographer managed to keep up with the diva who collapsed once she was safely hidden by the grove of trees. Kara stopped running and sat down next to her.
"Rach? It's okay Rachel. No one is mad at you." A smack connected with her cheek as her eyes met angry brown ones.
"It's not okay! You all think I'm disgusting now! That I'm some sorta freak! And you, how can you say you love me?" She felt her world stop as shock flooded through her system. Rachel had been awake when she told her that she loved her.
"It's all out of pity, you don't love me! You just feel sorry for me, the fucking screw up who loves pain. I can see you laughing with every-" Rachel's rant was cut off as a pair of soft lips connected with her own. For a few seconds the world around them stood completely still as both were caught up in the feeling of the kiss. Kara pulled back once she felt Rachel not responding. Blue eyes stared into Rachel as the other girl began to speak.
"I loved you the first moment I saw you. I wanted to protect you, cherish you, make you feel like a goddess because that is what you deserve. My love has nothing to do with pity or what that bastard did to you or what you do to yourself. I love you because you are intelligent, driven, beautiful, and most of all, have a heart that is as big as the sky. I'm sorry if this is too much for you but I want you to know that-" Rachel cut her off with a kiss of her own. It took Kara a second to realize what had happen before she entangled her hand in Rachel's hair and began to kiss back.
The two broke for oxygen as they rested their foreheads against each other as Rachel looked down at the ground with a blush. She felt ashamed that someone could love something like her, someone who was broken and stained. A gentle hand was placed under her chin lifting it up until she was looking into Kara's eyes.
"Hey, remember I don't love you out of pity. I love you because you are you. " She placed a gentle kiss on Rachel's forehead.
"Oh." Rachel felt a small smile on her face. "So what does this mean?"
"Well, you know how I feel. The thing is you're still trying to figure things out, I bet." The singer nodded. "So for now, we'll be friends until you figure things out."
"Can I kiss you again?" Rachel asked with a small blush.
"I wouldn't mind." With that Kara gently guided her lips back onto Rachel's. The two broke apart after a minute before they smiled at each other.
"Come on, your sister is worried about you I'm sure and I think Alex really wanted to talk to you." Rachel nodded before standing up and wincing slightly as her feet flexed against the ground. Slowly looking down at them, she saw that they were red and slightly inflamed from running barefoot to the park.
"I can't. " Kara looked at her friend's feet before wincing.
"Alright, get on." She slight stooped as she placed her back in front of Rachel.
"What are you doing?" The diva asked confused at what her friend was doing.
"Offering you a piggy back ride. Now get on and I'll carry you home." Slowly she felt Rachel climb onto her back and wrapped her arms around the Goth girl's neck.
"Alright, I'm ready." Rachel told her. Kara nodded.
"Now, don't freak out but I'm going to hold your legs." With the warning she didn't freaked when Kara's gentle hands hooked under her legs before holding them. The two of them continued to walk home in silence before a few feet from the Berry house, Rachel broke the silence.
"Kara, thank you."
"For what?"
"For I don't know, just thanks."
"You're welcome Rachel."
So Brittney goes Bad Ass for a bit.
Finally a real Zimberry moment! : ) : D :D :D :D :D
I'm thinking Sunshine should get paired with someone but whom?
