just a little story that came into my head. I don't know where it came from but enjoy :)

It had been almost a year since he had spoken to any of New Directions. When he moved away, he had effectively been cut off from his whole known life. His family had rushed them out of town so fast that his head had still been spinning months later and he still wasn't a hundred percent why they had left but that was besides the point. He had made a promise last summer, just before he left and he wasn't about to break it because his parents had said he wasn't allowed to go back to Lima. It was time to fulfill the promise to his best friend and the only girl he had ever truly loved.

He got to the door and lifted his hand to knock when he heard, "Matt?"

He turned and saw Rachel standing behind him, "Rach.."

Instead of the smile or the hug or even the slight sign of happiness he expected, Rachel just broke down.

"Rach? What's wrong?" He asked trying to pull her to him but she pushed him away.

"You're too late"

"Too late? What are you talking about, Rach. I'm here, just like I promised."

"I know but... I didn't think... It's just things are different now Matt. It's been almost a year since anyone heard from you. I thought you forgot about me so.."

"So what? Rach, what's wrong?"

"I'm pregnant"

His mouth dropped but he quickly closed it and tried pulling her to him again. This time she let him but just stood there, not returning the hug. "Who?" He asked.

She shook her head.

"Puck?"

Another shake of the head.

"Hudson?"

"No" She whispered.

"Mike?" He asked, surprised but not as mad as he would have been if it was anyone else.

"No, Matt. None of the glee boys."

"Then who? Rach? Who are you throwing your dreams away for if not one of your precious glee boys?" He asked, not meaning to sound harsh but not knowing how to react to how she was acting.

She broke down, completely this time and then he heard, "Matt? What are you doing here, man?"

"Puck? What's going on here? Satan? What are you doing here?" He asked as he saw Puck and Santana walking up the drive towards Rachel who was now sobbing into his chest.

"What'd you do to her, Rutherford?" Santana snapped, pulling the crying girl towards her and leading her to the porch swing.

"Dude what the hell is going on?" Matt asked Puck, trying not to be offended at how quickly Rachel went with Satan over him her supposed soul mate or so she told him just before he left.

"Keep your voice down" Puck snapped before grabbing his arm and leading him away from the girls. "Look, now isn't a good time"

"I promised I'd be here today so here I am now what's going on? Rachel said she was pregnant but not with any of the glee guys then broke down. What happened?"

"It's not really my place to tell you.." Puck started but Matt didn't miss the hardening in his eyes or the fist clench he did as he said it.

"What happened? I need to know and I don't think she's in any condition to tell me."

"You should have been here. If you hadn't have left..." Puck started before shaking his head, "I didn't mean that, it's not your fault."

Matt's heart skipped a beat as he slowly thought over everything that had been said today and came to a conclusion that he didn't like so he asked again, "Puck, Noah, What happened to her?"

"She was raped two months ago. Santana found her in the auditorium before school started. It was bad."

Matt's mouth dropped. His Rachel was raped and all because... He should have been there. Why did he let them make him leave. Rage at himself and at the person responsible barely held in as he whispered one word, "Who?"

"Israeli. Apparently he got tired of being told no and acted..."

"Jacob?" Matt asked in shock, sure the kid was creepy as hell but... This was big"

Noah nodded before looking back at the two girls, "Look, don't mention it to B. She's already a ball of stress she doesn't need anything else added to it."

Matt nodded, "I won't but where is the bastard?"

Noah smirked, "Sorry dude, Chang and I already took care of him before his ass got carted off to jail. He'll be in there for the next ten years since the dumb ass chose his 18th birthday as the day he was going to ruin his and her life."

Matt nodded, not satisfied but taking it for then. He turned and ran back up the steps, "Baby, I'm so sorry I've been gone for so long. I'm here now though" He whispered as he got closer to her, holding his arms out.

"You weren't here Matt. I kept waiting for you to come back, to call, to something but you never did and now you're here but...your too late."

He knelt in front of her as Santana glared at him and he ignored her, "I know, love. I know and I'll never forgive myself but please, let me be here for you now."

She shook her head burying it into Santana's shoulder. "I can't Matt. Not now, I just can't."

He nodded sadly, "Alright love but I'll be at Mike's when you decide to talk, alright? Call anytime." He handed his number to Santana who, grudgingly, took it, nodded at him and watched as he turned to leave.

"Give her time, she'll come around" Puck whispered and Matt nodded sure it was true but not sure if he was going to be able to handle the wait. He fist bumped Noah then got in his car and dialed a number he hadn't called in over a year.

"Mike? Yeah it's me. Mind if I crash for a while? Ok, be right there" And just like that, Matt was back and he was fully planning on winning his girl back and making anyone who hurt her pay.

Just smack me for starting a new story but I couldn't help it. It won't be long but I needed a new berryford story so here we go :)
