The Showdown Chapter 29

Thanks to everyone still following my stories sorry it has taken me so long to find motivation to write. I am still not real proud of the last couple chapters so any reviews would help at this point, good or bad I guess. If I am wasting my time and yours let me know.

Brittany arrives alone at school for Cheerios practice. She walks down the dark hallway towards the locker room. She can hear voices coming from both the girls and the boy's locker room knowing the football team was having early practices as well this week. As she enters most of her teammates are already changed and ready to head to the gym. Quinn gives her a smile upon entering "see you in a few" Brittany announces with a smile as she opens her gym bag. The blonde is the last one in the locker room hurrying to get changed and get to practice before Coach Sylvester goes on the war path. She hears the door creak open and footsteps walking towards her. "What did you forget?" she calls out playfully.

"Oh I didn't forget anything. I thought maybe we could talk" Josh announces causing the blonde to jump.

"You can't be in here, this is the girls locker room" Brittany responds backing away "besides I have to go, I'm already late." He grabs her arm as she steps farther away "let go of me."

"We are not done. You need to tell your girlfriend to drop the charges against me and cancel this ridiculous restraining order she has," Jose demands pulling the blonde closer.

"Why would she do that? You raped her" Brittany answers with anger yanking her arm out of his grasp.

"Well maybe if she knew about us it would change her mind" he replies stepping closer to the blonde as she tries to create more space between them by backing up. She stops suddenly when her back hits up against the lockers.

Brittany tries to swallow "what about us? There is no us, I love her."

"I think you just need the right guy to show you what you're missing. I seriously doubt wheelchair boy could satisfy someone as experienced as you" Josh smirks rubbing his hand across her cheek as he places his knee between her legs.

Brittany quickly turns her head "don't touch me."

"Look Brittany we can do this the easy way or you can make this a very unpleasant experience" he says in her ear causing her to shiver.

"I want to go" Brittany says softly as a tear runs down her cheek.

"You can right after we are done" Josh whispers kissing her neck while his hands run up the inside of her thigh.

"Stop!" Brittany shouts pushing him with as much force as she could muster. He laughs leaning his body against hers while grabbing her wrists pinning them above her head. "No, get off of me! You're hurting me!"
"I told you we could do this the easy way but just like your little slut of a girlfriend you have to make things difficult. She learned and you will too" Josh states pulling at the waist band of her sweat pants. Brittany struggles trying to loosen his grip. When she can't break free she begins kicking her legs causing him to back up slightly. "Feisty, I like that, you must be amazing in bed" he laughs. "So do you want me to tell you how Santana and I did it?"

"No!" she yells as he runs his hand down the front of her sweats "No! Stop!"

"Shut up!" Josh shouts back getting angry "just shut up and lay there like your girlfriend did."

"Leave Santana alone! Help!" Brittany screams as loud as she can.

They both can hear the door open a few seconds later as he quickly puts his hand over her mouth "scream again and I will make Santana pay" he whispers in her ear.

"Britt? Brittany, are you still in here? We are all waiting for you, Coach is getting pissed. She sent us to find you." Quinn announces as she walks farther into the room.

Brittany bites down hard on the hand in front of her mouth causing him to release her "Quinn! Help me!"

"Britt?" Quinn rushes towards the blonde's voice as the other Cheerio stands looking around. As Quinn turns the corner she sees Josh holding Brittany against the lockers "Lindsay go get Coach and Noah Puckerman now! Get your hands off of her!"

Josh releases Brittany as he turns to face Quinn "you want some to Fabray? I should have known they would convert you too."

"Get away from her now" Quinn spits back as she slowly walks closer to place herself between the jock and her friend who was now curled up on the floor in tears.

"Q? Why in the hell am I being dragged away from practice" Coach Sylvester hollers opening the door.

"Quinn, what's going on?" Puck shouts from behind the coach.

"Puck I need you, come in here now" Quinn calls not taking her eyes off the boy in front of her.

He rushes past Coach Sylvester and into the locker room "what the fu…."

"He attacked Brittany" Quinn manages to say before Puck is lunging at Josh sending them both crashing into the lockers. Coach Sylvester rushes over hearing the commotion. "What the hell? Puckerman!" Puck wrestles his teammate to the ground punching him several times. By the time he lands another punch his knuckles are bloodied and he is yelling how he will never let him hurt his friends again. Finally with one last swing he knocks Josh unconscious. Coach Sylvester grabs Puck by the shoulder once she sees it is safe to intervene, "you….get out of my locker room now!"

Puck glances over to Brittany who is still curled into herself crying "Brittany, are you okay?"

"Puckerman….out!" Coach Sylvester screams again. Puck lowers his head walking out the door. "Someone needs to tell me what just happened in here."

Quinn hearing the sobs coming from the blonde behind her quickly turns sitting down next to her on the floor. "Britt, are you okay? What happened?"

"He…he tried to…. to rape me," Brittany manages to say before breaking down.

Quinn quickly grabs a hold of the blonde embracing her "it's okay Britt, you are okay."

"I am going to make some phone calls, are you two safe here? I don't think he will be waking up anytime soon" Coach Sylvester responds as she walks into her office.

Within a few minutes Principal Figgins and Ms. Pillsbury come bursting through the doors. "Sue?"

"We are over here" Coach Sylvester answers as she sits on the bench next to the girls. She stands taking Principal Figgins by the arm and leading him out of ear shot of the girls. Ms. Pillsbury rushes over to sit with Quinn as she comforts Brittany. As they walk back over Coach Sylvester looks down at Brittany "the police are on their way, you are going to have to tell them what happened."

Brittany nods her as more tears fall from her eyes "can you get Ms. Corcoran, please?"

"Of course" Ms. Pillsbury answers. "I'll call her."

Ms. Corcoran enters the locker room looking at Coach who motions with her head to the other side of the room. She smiles appreciatively walking over to the girls. Brittany is talking with a police officer explaining what happened as Quinn and Ms. Pillsbury sit on either side, Quinn holding her hand. Brittany looks up as Ms. Corcoran approaches them. Ms. Pillsbury stands walking over to her co-worker whispering something to her as Shelby nods her head.

Ms. Corcoran sits down next to Brittany taking in her appearance. Her legs nervously bounce up and down, dried tears stain her face and she had red marks on her arms and wrists. She places her on the blonde's back rubbing small circles. As Brittany finishes answering the police officers questions she glances over at her teacher trying to give her a smile, but as she makes eye contact the tears start flowing again. "I can only imagine how scared San was" she cries as Ms. Corcoran wraps her arms around the blonde hugging her.

"Do you want me to call her?" her teacher inquires.

"No! No! Don't call her!" Brittany shouts.

"Brittany calm down, we won't call her," Quinn answers quickly.

"I won't call her" Ms. Corcoran says putting her hands up in defense, "but why?"

Brittany looks down to the floor shaking her head "she has enough to worry about and I don't want her to get mad at me."

Ms. Corcoran reaches over taking her hand "first she will worry about you because she loves you and second why would she be mad at you, you didn't do anything."

"She warned me to stay away from him" Brittany mumbles.

"Britt you didn't do anything, he attacked you" Quinn states matter-of-factly. "Santana will understand that."

The three women look up at Ms. Pillsbury walks towards them. "The police have arrested Josh. He woke up on his way to the hospital. They will check him out and then he will be arrested." She glances to Quinn "Noah is outside in the hall, he would like to speak to you before they arrest him."

"What?" Brittany shouts "why are they arresting him, he stopped him from attacking me."

Quinn stands looking down at her friend "you'll be okay for a couple minutes?" Brittany nods as Quinn releases her hand walking out.

"Are they really going to arrest him?" Brittany asks again.

"They are, but I think he will have the charges dropped once they hear from you and Quinn" Ms. Pillsbury responds.

Puck is pacing the hallway as a police officer stands watching. He quickly stops once he sees Quinn come out of the locker room "is she okay?"

"Yeah thanks to you" Quinn replies embracing him.

"You are the one who found her" he says wrapping his arms around her. "Hey are you crying? She okay right?" Quinn nods "then why are you crying?"

"Puck she is so scared and I know the only one who can help is Santana and she doesn't want her to know and now….now they are going to arrest you. It's not fair, none of this is fair" Quinn sobs.

"Mr. Puckerman it's time to go" a police officer calls out.

Puck nods and he kisses Quinn's head. "Go help Brittany."

"Quinn!" Susan Pierce shouts running down the hall. "Where is she?"

"She's in the locker room, she's okay Mrs. Pierce just scared" Quinn answers following the elder blonde back in.

"Brittany!" Mrs. Pierce calls out entering the room. She rounds the corner seeing her daughter sitting with her head on Ms. Corcoran's shoulder and tears streaming down her face. She rushes over wrapping her arms around her daughter. "Are you okay?"

Brittany engulfs her mother sobbing. "Can I just go home please?"
