Sunday morning came and they packed up all their stuff to go back to Gotham. Rachel slept the whole car ride and Richard would always glance down at her admiring her beauty. When they finally reached Rachel's apartment Rachel woke up. Richard helped her with her bags. Rachel opened the door and when Richard put down the bags she reached up to give him a kiss.
"Thanks for a great weekend." Rachel said giving him another kiss. She walked back to the door to walk him out but he didn't move.
"Rachel..." He said in a tired voice, they both knew where this conversation was headed.
"Please Richard, we just had such a great weekend please don't ruin it please." Rachel said walking back up to Richard.
"We need to talk about this now Rachel, because I know I wont be able to any other time, because you wont let it. Just like you are now." Rachel just gave him a dirty look. "Where are they?" Rachel looks away from Richard, "Where are the pills Rachel?" She crosses her arms. "Okay whose giving them to you?" Richard finishes his questions, but Rachel still did not answer. Richard was getting angry now and he finally went off, "Rachel you are going to kill yourself before your father does! Now telling where those dame pills are right now." Rachel looks back at Richard and her jaw dropped. She was shocked he went that far to say she would kill herself. Rachel ran up to Richard and pushed him hard towards the door.
"Get out!" Rachel yelled.
"Rachel I'm just tying to help you. Let me help you. Drugs are not the way, you could really hurt yourself."
"Leave me alone Richard, I know what I'm doing and its not going to kill myself." Rachel said opening the door for Richard to leave.
"You could do it by accident. You don't know how much your body can handle." Richard explained, but he was outside the door now and Rachel slammed the door right in his face ignoring everything he said.
School Monday was awful Richard and Rachel didn't speak to each other, and Rachel would give Richard the worst glare ever whenever they looked at each other. When school finally finished and the couple still hadn't spoken since their fight Sunday. Rachel walked up to her apartment there was a black limo and Diana and two big men were there that looked like body guards. Rachel was confused to say the least.
"Uhhhh what's going on?"
"Is your father home?" Diana asked and Rachel shook her head no. "May I come in?"
"Of course." Rachel answered not wanting to be rude. Rachel guided them in still unaware of what was about to happen.
"Where's your room Rachel?" Diana asked in a serious tone.
"Upstairs first door to the right." Rachel answered. They all walked up satires and Diana sat on Rachel bed nodding to her to come sit with her, and Rachel complied. Diana held Rachel's hand.
"Diana you are scaring me... Is something wrong?" Rachel said truly worried.
"Yes something is wrong. Rachel are you okay?" Diana asked, but Rachel didn't answered she was too distracted by the two big men in all black who were tearing apart her room looking for something. They were going through drawers, the closet, they even looked under the bed.
"Hey what are you doing!" Rachel shouts at them, but they ignored her and kept looking around her room.
"Were just trying to help." Diana says who is holding on to Rachel tightly so she wont stop the two men.
"Found them." On of the men said. He pulls out a bag of white and red pills.
"Oh my gosh! Richard sent you!" Rachel said shocked. Diana got up from the bed and took the bag of pills and walked to the bathroom.
"Diana what are you doing?" Without an answer Diana pours the bag of pills into the toilet and one by one each pill fell. That's when Rachel had a complete mental breakdown. Diana flushed without hesitation and Rachel screamed "No" running towards Diana but the body guards held her back. It was too late to stop Diana now. "Diana they were helping me." Rachel whimpered as tears ran down her cheeks.
"No they were not. They were hurting you, and they could kill you." Diana said sternly. The body guards let Rachel go and she dropped to the floor crying.
"Rachel sweetie..." Diana said kneeling down next to Rachel.
"No! Don't touch me!" Rachel said yelling at Diana wanting to get away from her hug. "Leave me alone. I hate you!" Rachel said turning away from Diana and she just cried. Diana stood hurt from Rachel's words and walked to the door. Diana took one last look at Rachel before she left.
"I did this because I love you." And with that said Diana left a sobbing Rachel curled up on the floor.
The next day at school was strange, The whole day Richard felt like something was wrong. He didn't see Rachel at all and even if he did they wouldn't speak to each other. Richard sat in class distracted he thought about how last night Diana came home crying because Rachel said she hated her. Rachel hated Diana because she wanted to help. Rachel hated her cause he told Diana to take away the pills. Richard thought it was all his fault. He thought he was doing the right thing, but maybe not. Richard was pulled from his thoughts when the principle came over the loud speaker.
"Will Richard Grayson please repot to the Principles office." Richard shook his head getting out his daze and the whole class turned to him and ooooed him like he was about to get in trouble. But Richard didn't do anything wrong, well at least that's what he thought. When he entered the principle office He saw the principle with a sad disappointed look on his face. But the Principle was not alone. Rachel was there too, and she was sobbing. She was crying so much and so hard. Her cheeks were red, her eyes watery, her nose was sniffling, and as much as Richard wanted to comfort her he didn't. He couldn't.
"Please sit." Was all the principle said.
"I'm sorry." Rachel said whimpering and Richard just gave a confused look and looked at the principle for answers. Richard was scared. He had no idea what happened and what was about to happen.
"Richard... Rachel has received her third strike." The principle stated, and Richard eyes went wide and his jaw dropped. His whole world just stopped as the words "third strike" echoed in his head.
