"Tell me again how you ended up in Santana's bed?" Finn asked for the hundredth time.
"I told you I don't remember much. Everything's a blur." Rachel said laying down on the couch
"But you somehow found your way home after?"
"Why do you want to know so badly? Do you have some weird fetish that sex stories excite you? Should I warn Harmony in advance?"
"No! God I just wanted to know. I mean you and Santana that's not normal."
"Nothing we do is normal."
"True to that. So did you guys talk and stuff?"
Rachel didn't say anything. "You did stay and talk right?"
Silence.
"You are so dead." Finn said
"Wait she just left?" Kurt said pacing in the living room
"Yeah. After you guys left I went back to the room and she was gone. She probably hid somewhere until the coast was clear. We didn't talk or anything." Santana said from the couch
"Maybe she was scared."
"Rachel scared? That doesn't happen. I know her, she's going to avoid me as much as she can. What we did wasn't supposed to happen."
"But it did Santana. It means something."
"No Kurt it doesn't! Don't try to overanalyze this."
"But…" Kurt said
"Silence Kurt!" Santana said
"You do know she's probably talking to Kurt about this right?" Finn said
"Yup. And he's probably plotting a way to get information out of me."
"I mean… It won't happen again right?" Finn said
"Right."
"Then why don't you talk to her. I mean she probably feels some type of way because you left. Girls tend to be a bit emotional about these kind of things."
"That's the thing Finn. It wasn't supposed to mean anything. What am I supposed to say. Sorry I almost had sex with you, promise it won't happen again."
"Exactly!"
"You are such an idiot."
Rachel's phone beeped with an incoming message.
I need to see you.
- Quinn
"Who's that?" Finn asked
"Um nobody special. How about you order some take out and I pick it up."
"Thought you said you had a hangover." Finn looked at her suspiciously
"I do. I just, you know need some air." Rachel said walking out the door.
"How about I order some take out and you can go pick it up?" Kurt said picking up one of the menus from the counter.
"Yeah I need some fresh air. Being coped up here is driving me crazy." Santana said heading out the door.
Rachel stood in front of Quinn's apartment door. She had no idea why she came here, she knows that she had to keep her distance from Quinn. But everything always comes full circle because of the love she feels.
She lifted her hand to knock on the door, she heard footsteps coming near. Her breath got caught in her throat, she didn't know what to expect.
The door swung open and she was meet with a teary Quinn. She pushed the door enough to let Rachel walk in. Rachel walked in and waited for Quinn to say something.
"Rachel I..." Quinn stuttered out
"What the hell is going on Quinn? Why did you call?"
"I just… I need to talk to you."
"I thought we said all we wanted to say last time we saw each other?"
"Rachel... I'm not doing this to hurt you"
"If this is another attempt to make sure I don't do anything, please don't waste your time." Rachel said walking towards the door.
"I'm pregnant…." Quinn said causing Rachel to stop and turn around. "It's Biff's" Quinn said walking closer to Rachel, but Rachel took a step back. "I didn't want you to find out from someone else and wonder if the baby was yours."
"That's very considerate of you." Rachel said looking directly at Quinn "You must have been very relieved when you realized you weren't carrying my baby. That certainly would have derailed your fairy tale."
"This fairy tale is…. complicated." Quinn said
"Did you honestly stop loving me? What changed Quinn?"
"Things just got complicated and it became too much to handle. We can never be together, please Rachel just move on and be happy."
"I can't, not until I know why, I won't stop. I will use all of my power, I have to know why you gave up on me Quinn. Because love does not just disappear."
"Some things are more powerful than even you. I'm sorry. Don't let this destroy you."
"You've already destroyed me Quinn….. I don't know how much more pain I can take."
"Just because we can't be together doesn't mean I won't love you."
"Would you're world be easier if I wasn't in it?" Rachel said touching Quinn's cheek
"It wouldn't be my world without you in it?"
"Falling for you was will never be a mistake, but my worst regret is thinking you had falling for me."
"Rachel…" Quinn said with tears running down her face
"I only want you to be happy, I'm sorry it couldn't be with me."
"There is a part of me that really wanted it to be yours Rachel." Quinn said
This time Rachel didn't stop and she left, she couldn't stay there any longer, she had no idea what to say anymore. She had no idea how to stop the pain. How could everything be falling apart again?
Once the elevators doors open Rachel stepped into it and pressed the lobby button, she noticed that someone else was in the elevator with her and she smiled at him and he smiled back. As the elevator got closer to the lobby Rachel got an uneasy feeling, she turned back to look at the man when she was caught by surprise. The man punched her right in the face causing her to stumble back, he punched her again busting her lip open. She fell to the ground and the man kicked her in her stomach when she tried to get up. The man pressed the stop button on the elevator, he grabbed Rachel by the collar on her coat and slammed her against the wall.
Rachel tried to fight back, but the man was twice her size. She couldn't get any hits in. He kept punching her and slammed her once more against the wall. When Rachel finally made it to her feet, gasping for air, the man grabbed her from behind in a choke hold.
"I have message for you Berry!" The man yelled as Rachel struggled to get out of the choke hold. "Leave Quinn Fabray alone. Fail and your fathers will suffer. They're watching you!"
The man let go, causing Rachel to fall to her knees. As she fell, a small little black ring box fell from her coat pocket.
The man picked it up. "N-n-no n-not th-th-that." Rachel struggled to say. The man kicked her once again causing Rachel to roll on her back grunting in pain. She had blood coming out of her mouth and nose.
The man got out of the elevator on the floor before the lobby. Rachel didn't bother to move, she was into much pain. The elevator doors open revealing a passed out Rachel.
"That's the 100th time you've called her Finn. I think we should call the police." Kurt said
"Yeah your right. Where the hell could she be?! She's been gone for 5 hours. I knew I shouldn't have left her alone." Finn said burying his head in his hands
"Finn it's your fault. You can't blame yourself for everything Rachel does. She's hurting and all we can do is just be there for her. We'll find her okay."
"That's right Hudson you better find her before I chop your head off." Santana said walking into the living room
"How..you.." Finn stuttered out turning to Kurt "You called her?"
"I didn't have a choice! Okay I'm worried just as much as you are. She has a right to know."
"How could you possible leave her alone!? What is…?" Santana was interrupted by her phone that was ringing. Yes this is she….What?! Yes I'll be right there!"
"Who was that?"
Santana had tears coming down her face. "Um the hospital, Rachel she..she"
"Omg... let's go come on!" Kurt said.
Once they arrived to the hospital, Santana immediately bombarded the nurse's station to get information. "Could you tell me where Rachel Berry is?"
"Are you Santana Lopez?" one of the nurse asked
"Yes! Where is she?"
"Ms. Lopez. I'm Ms. Berry's doctor." Santana turned to see the doctor behind her.
"How is she? Is she okay?" Santana said
"There was an accident. We believe Ms. Berry was attacked."
"What? I don't understand. Where?" Finn said
"Ms. Berry was found in an elevator passed out, with extreme bruising. Blood was coming out of her mouth and nose. She had about 3 broken ribs. We believe that she may have a concussion, we just sent for her to have more test done. We are only waiting for her to wake up."
"Oh god." Santana said
"Where did you guys find her?" Finn asked
"The police were called to The Empire Hotel, they have checked security cameras, but it seems someone has erased them. I'll go tell the police that you are here so they can explain more." The Doctor said
"Wait when can we see her?" Santana said
"Right as soon as she comes back from her tests. I'll let you know."
"Thank you doctor." Finn said
"Why would she be at The Empire Hotel?" Kurt said causing Finn to look down
"Do you know something we don't Finn?" Santana said
"Um… when we were talking earlier she got a text I'm not sure from who. I'm guessing it was Quinn… she's the only one that stay's over there since she moved out of Rachel's apartment. I know her and Biff haven't left for their honeymoon yet."
"Do you think Quinn ordered it or something?" Kurt said
"No." Santana said "Quinn could be a lot of things, but I don't think she could go to that extreme to hurt Rachel."
"At this point we don't know what to expect from anyone." Finn said
"We need to get her out of her Finn." Santana said "The closer she is to Quinn the more she keeps getting hurt. She needs to get away and I'll go with her."
"Are you in love with her or something?" Finn asked "Because ever since Quinn got engaged to Biff all you've done is try to convince Rachel that Quinn was bad for her, you tried to keep them apart."
"Finn stop. Right now isn't the time or place to do this." Kurt said
"You know what Hudson! I do it because I care about her, she's my friend. I've seen her broken and I've been doing the things you should have done and keep her from falling apart. All you've done is convince her to find ways to get Quinn back and guess what it's made her break more! So I'm sorry for trying to be a good friend."
"Um Ms. Lopez?" The doctor said
"What?!" Santana said turning around "Oh god I'm sorry"
"It's fine. I just wanted to inform you the Ms. Berry is conscious and asking for you. Room 219"
Santana wasted no time and ran pass the doctor to get to Rachel's room with Finn and Kurt behind her. When she open the door she was in shocked to see Rachel all beaten up. Her nose and left eye had a bruise and her lip seemed to be busted. She had a bruise on her cheek. Santana couldn't imagine what other bruise she had on her body.
She walked up to Rachel and pushed some hair out of her face that caused Rachel to wake up.
"Hi" Rachel said smiling
"Hey you." Santana said
"Why are you crying?" Rachel said
"I'm just glad you're okay?"
"How you feeling superstar?" Finn said
"That's the thing, I can't feel anything."
Kurt turned to the nurse that was next to the bed "She on very strong pain medicine for her ribs. She should feel something soon."
"Yeah Chloe her has been doping me up since I woke up. I think she likes me." Rachel said
Finn laughed. "Who wouldn't like you with that shiner on your eye?"
"Do you remember what happened?" Kurt asked
"Uh no no I don't. My head hurts a bit. What happened?
"They think someone attacked you or something" Finn said
"Rach what were you doing at Quinn's hotel?" Santana asked not being able to hold her question my longer
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
"They found you unconscious in the elevator at the Empire. I know that where Quinn is staying" Finn said
"I don't understand anything. Why would I be in an elevator?"
"Did you go see Quinn?" Kurt said
"Who the hell is Quinn?!" Rachel sai
