A/N: Reviews? Please? Lol I didn't get many was it not good? L
Quinn sat outside of the bathroom waiting for Rachel to finish her shower. The water had been running for close to an hour now, and she was getting impatient. Knocking on the door, Quinn tried to see if the diva was ok.
"Rachel? Sweetie?" Quinn called out, hearing only the drips of water in response. "Rachel!"
When she still received no answer, Quinn pushed the door open lightly, immediately she was greeted with the sound of sobs racking the brunette's body. Moving quickly to the shower, Quinn found Rachel curled in a ball on the shower floor with blood running down her arms.
"Oh Rachel, sweetie what did you do?" Quinn asked, turning the water off and quickly grabbing a towel.
"I feel him all over me, inside of me, everywhere." Rachel sobbed, curling into Quinn's embrace as the blonde pulled her closer.
"I know honey. It's ok, he isn't going to hurt you again." Quinn soothed, trying to keep her own tears at bay while the starlit broke apart in her arms.
Quinn pulled the girl out of the shower and helped her stand. Leading her into the bedroom, Quinn sat her gently down on the bed before grabbing a fresh change of clothes for the now shivering girl to put on. After she was dressed, Quinn put the towel over the smaller girl's bleeding arms and pulled her close, allowing Rachel to cry on her shoulder.
"I am sorry." Rachel whispered after she had calmed down.
"For what?" Quinn asked confused.
"For being a burden." Rachel replied, her eyes cast downwards.
Quinn shook her head before lifting Rachel's chin up, forcing the girl to look her in the eyes. "Rachel, you are no trouble at all, Finn is the burden."
"But, you have had to take care of me." Rachel argued.
"And I don't mind one bit." Quinn soothed, walking into the bathroom to grab a first aid kit. When Rachel had been in the shower she had taken a razor to both arms, slicing her forearms apart.
Quinn gently cleaned the cuts, wrapping gauze around them after everything was taken care of. "See, all better." She whispered.
"You need to go home, your mom must be worried." Rachel spoke up after a moment of silence.
"I am not going anywhere without you." Quinn replied forcefully.
"Your mom will hate me if you ignore her, and what about Beth?" Rachel asked.
"Puck has Beth right now, she has been taking a bottle and sleeping through the night so that is all ok. My mom knows a friend had an emergency, and nothing more then that, but she accepts it." Quinn argued.
"Quinn…" Rachel trailed off.
"Do you want me to leave?" Quinn asked confused, noticing Rachel tense at the question.
"No." The diva answered in a hushed tone. "But, I don't want you to end up hating me again either."
"I never hated you, and things will never go back to before." Quinn soothed.
"You promise?" Rachel choked out.
"I promise." Quinn nodded.
Rachel hesitated for a moment before grabbing Quinn's hand and pulling her along as she slid back against the headboard. Once Quinn was leaning against it, Rachel climbed into her lap, laying her head down on the blonde's shoulder.
"Is this ok? I just…will you hold me?" Rachel pleaded.
"Anything you want super star." Quinn smiled, running her fingers through the brunette's damp hair.
"And sing?" Rachel begged.
Quinn took a moment to choose a song before quietly humming the first few bars. When Rachel let out a sigh, she slowly began to sing.
" Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to ariseBlackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be freeBlackbird fly, blackbird flyInto the light of the dark black nightBlackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black nightBlackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise"
"You have an amazing voice." Rachel whispered.
"Thank you. But I like yours much better." Quinn replied. "Are you going to sing for me now?"
"I don't think I can…" Rachel trailed off before snuggling deeper into Quinn's neck.
"That's ok, there is time. Time heals all wounds. Quinn softly said as she felt Rachel's breathing even out.
"Mmm." Rachel let out before drifting off to sleep.
Santana and Brittany were sitting in Santana's room, cuddled together on the bed.
"I don't understand S, why would someone hurt Rachel?" Brittany asked. It broke Santana's heart to hear the pain in the blonde's voice.
"I don't know B. I just don't know." Santana replied, pulling Brittany closer.
"Finn used to be a nice guy. Don't you remember pre school when he pushed Karofsky after he stole your swing?" Brittany pushed.
"I know Britt, I don't know what happened, he was drunk…maybe he did drugs, I don't know." Santana trailed off.
"I think he knew what he was doing." Brittany whispered.
"Why do you think that?" Santana asked.
"Because he knew he had done something wrong when we asked about the marks on his face, he knew what he did and he didn't care." Brittany replied.
"Well he is going to care after the Glee club gets finished with him." Santana spit out, her blood boiled just thinking about the giant teen.
"What if he hurts someone else? What if he hurts you?" Brittany cried out, suddenly getting worked up and scared.
"Won't happen B, Puck and I are going to make sure everyone stays safe. Especially you, Quinn and Rachel." Santana promised, kissing the blonde soundly to ease her fears. Santana just hoped she could keep her word.
Puck pulled up outside of Mike Chang's house and beeped, watching as the dancer and Matt emerged quickly and climbed into his truck.
"What's going on?" Matt asked.
"Yea, very cryptic text dude." Mike added.
"I need to tell you guys something, and you aren't going to be happy." Puck forced out, anger once again taking over his body. "But it is important you know so we can take care of the girls…and Kurt."
"Then where is Finn?" Matt asked confused as to why the boy was missing, if something was going down, he should be here too.
"It's about Finn." Puck replied, calming himself down.
"I am not liking the sound of this." Mike said softly, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion.
"You aren't going too. Finn raped Rachel last night, at the party."
Quinn opened her eyes and blinked away the sleep as she felt Rachel stir where she was now positioned next to Quinn, the blonde's arm protectively around her waist.
"You're still here." Rachel whispered, turning to face Quinn directly.
"I am." Quinn replied with a nod. "And now since I am here, I think we should make some food. You haven't eaten all day."
"I am not hungry." Rachel argued.
"Just eat something, toast, crackers, something." Quinn pleaded, knowing the starlit needed to have something in her stomach.
"Ok. I guess that means we have to get up?" Rachel asked in a child-like voice.
"I guess so." Quinn smiled out. Quinn's attention was pulled from the chocolate eyes before her, to the sound of someone knocking on the bedroom door. Immediately Rachel tensed, fearing the worse.
"Quinn?" Santana called from the other side of the door. Rachel quickly calmed down.
"We are coming downstairs, meet you there!" Quinn called back, helping Rachel sit up.
"Good because we need to talk about something." Santana replied.
As quickly as possible, Rachel and Quinn met Santana and Brittany downstairs. They had to move slow seeing as Rachel ran out of breath quickly from her broken ribs.
"What's up?" Quinn asked nervous.
"Oh nothing bad, I got clothes for you, and we picked up ours." Santana replied, motioning towards herself and Brittany. "But your mom stopped me when we got there."
"I knew she would be mad at you staying here." Rachel whispered.
"Nah Berry, nothing like that. Judy just wants to know if we could stay with her until your Dads get home…I didn't tell her anything specific with what happened, but she knows something is wrong." Santana replied.
"You guys can go ahead." Rachel said, not realizing Santana was including her in Judy's offer.
"Rachel I told you, you go, I go." Quinn eased the brunette's nerves.
"Like Jack and Rose!" Brittany cheered with smile. "You jump, I jump!"
"Uh right, just like that." Quinn smiled, laughing a little.
"Do you want to go?" Rachel asked Quinn.
"It would be easier with Beth, but wherever you are comfortable." Quinn replied.
"We can go, I don't like knowing Finn knows the security system code here." Rachel admitted.
"You forgot to mention that detail Berry." Santana growled, walking over to the armed system and studying it.
"I forgot." Rachel whispered.
"Well lets go get you some clothes and everything, I don't want to be here with that new information." Quinn pushed. "Better yet, you wait here with San, Britt and I will pack for you, that way you don't have to go up the stairs again."
"Ok." Rachel relented while the two blondes headed upstairs. They were back pretty quick, allowing the foursome to head out to Santana and Quinn's cars where they quickly got in and headed towards the Fabray household.
