"Rachel, I am never going to be able to apologize for all the pain I put you through. You thinking now that you are being punished for what Finn did…I feel responsible. You are such a strong woman, beautiful inside and out, and daily I tried to tare that strength down. What Finn did was completely his fault, you have no blame in this. He will pay. I will make sure of that." Quinn forcefully said, her hand clutching Rachel's own just a bit stronger, trying to physically give Rachel the power to believe.
"I don't know Quinn, I mean I accept your apology and I know or I am trying to trust you, but how is this not my fault? I was so wrapped up in him that I went upstairs, I may be naïve but I watched enough movies to know what happens at a teenaged party when people are drunk. Dad and Daddy warned me constantly to never go upstairs with a boy at a party, that they will only be expecting sex." Rachel rambled out.
"But Rachel, you said no right?" Quinn asked.
"Of course. Multiple times." Rachel whispered, s singly tear escaping down her cheek. Quinn gently lifted a finger to catch it, her touch was whisper soft so not to hurt the brunette's bruises covering her face.
"If you said no, then he should have stopped. No always means no. This is not your fault, him not listening does not make the blame fall on your shoulders. I will not allow you to think this is your fault or that you deserve this messed up situation." Quinn whispered, wrapping her arm around the other girl's shoulders so the starlit could snuggle deeper in the blonde's side.
"You are quickly becoming my only sense of security." Rachel admitted, worrying her bottom lip in fear that admitting such a thing would bring out the HBIC she knew still laid dormant in Quinn.
Quinn sucked in a breath softly at the admission, but Rachel still heard it. Tears rained down her cheeks so slowly that Quinn quickly reached over to catch every one. Rachel jumped in shock, but relaxed when she saw Quinn's face showed no hint of anger or laughter, simply understanding.
"I can be your security." Quinn offered. "I can protect you from all the bad things in the world."
"Bad things happen Quinn, you can't keep them at bay." Rachel replied softly.
"Then…I can make it ok again when something bad does happen." Quinn whispered, her hand now cupping Rachel's cheek, the brunette resting her face against the porcelain skin.
"How?" Rachel choked out.
"I am going to be here when you have nightmares, I am going to hold you while you cry, and I am going to listen when you need an ear. I am going to be here for you no matter what." Quinn replied.
"You are so much different now then you were even last night at the party, I mean I know since Beth we have developed a civil relationship, but you really do care, don't you?" Rachel asked.
"When I look at you, so broken and hurt, I can't help but to picture Beth in a similar position. As a parent I would die, because I love my baby so much. As a friend to you, I just want to take the pain away and make it better, because I know how much hurt and fear you are holding inside. I want to be able to help you hold your head high." Quinn answered.
"I don't think I can hold my head high, not anymore. I am so lost…broken." Rachel whispered, tears falling more quickly.
"Rachel, you can fight this, don't let Finn win. You are such a strong woman, prove it to him. Prove to him that he didn't beat you down and break you. You may be lost, but I am right here, ready to help guide you back."
Joe Hudson surveyed the group of women before him. Were they honestly trying to say that Finn Hudson, his dimwitted nephew, raped the small girl who had just gone upstairs? How was that even possible?
"Captain?" A random officer called, Joe grunted in acknowledgement. "A Miss Jessica Lopez is here." The officer replied.
Joe's head snapped to the direction of the door, he was greeted with the sight of a woman who looked like she could rip any opponent to shreds. She looked dangerous; Joe liked it.
"Captain Hudson?" Jess asked, her eyes demanding attention.
"Yes ma'am?" Joe replied.
"I have the test results from Miss Rachel Berry's rape kit." Jess replied, handing over a folder to the Captain.
Joe carefully examined every line. He wasn't a doctor, but he had dealt with enough cases when he worked in New York that he could get the gist of what was being said based on the results. As he looked a sense of dread fell into the pit of his stomach, this was not going to be pretty. His family was going to be devastated if this information got out, and Joe was not going to let him family fall apart over a drunken mistake.
"Oh hey there Finny." Puck sarcastically greeted as the boy climbed to his feet. "Long time no see."
"You just saw me last night er this morning…what time is it?" The clueless boy asked, still rubbing his head from the fall.
"It's about 2pm, why?" Mike asked.
"I was supposed to be home at noon, shit my mom is going to kill me." Finn groaned.
"She is going to have to get into a pretty big line." Puck growled out, invading the taller teen's personal space.
"Whoa Puck, back off." Finn spit out, pushing Puck back roughly.
"I am so happy you did that, because now I can do this." Puck finished his sentence with a punch to Finn's jaw. Finn dropped to his knees from the force before quickly jumping back up and taking his own swing at Puck, but Matt grabbed his arms and held them behind his back before Finn could land a hit.
"Let me the fuck go!" Finn yelled, fighting against Matt's surprisingly strong hold.
"Not a chance." Mike softly spoke up, pushing Puck aside.
Mike was not going to let anyone hurt one of his friends, especially someone as sweet as Rachel, who actually reminded him of his sister quite a bit. Anyone that reminded him of his sister was considered a very good friend, and someone he needed in his life.
Mike grabbed hold of Finn's chin, making sure to grip hard enough to leave a bruise. "You listen to me, you are going to go to the police station and turn yourself in." He growled out, shocking Matt and Puck, they had never seen Mike have a badass side.
"For what?" Finn asked playing dumb.
"You know what fucking for!" Puck yelled, trying to lunge back at the giant, but Mike pushed him back with his hand.
"We know you raped Rachel." Mike spit out. "And we are not ok with it."
Finn stopped struggling, a sly smirk playing across his face. Puck raised an eyebrow in confusion, this was not the guy he grew up with.
"Your right, I did. And guess what? That slut deserved it, even more? She liked it. I had her screaming my name." Finn replied, that sly smirk still on his face, his eyes sparkling with mischief.
Mike, Matt, and Puck stood frozen in shock. Then all hell broke loose as Puck tackled Finn to the ground, Mike and Matt joining in.
Quinn and Rachel had been upstairs for an hour, with Rachel still resting against Quinn. They had moved around a little and Quinn now had Rachel's head resting in her lap. For a moment she thought the girl was sleeping, but light sniffs showed her differently.
"Why are you crying super star?" Quinn asked softly, trying to not ruin the quiet atmosphere.
"I am going to have to tell my Dads when they get home on Tuesday." Rachel choked out. "They are going to be so mad at me."
"Oh sweetie, they won't be mad at you, this isn't your fault at all." Quinn soothed, tugging on Rachel's shoulder so she would lay on her back, allowing Quinn to see the brunette's face.
"It is my fault. I was so dumb." Rachel argued.
"Sweetie we have had this discussion before, it was not and never will be your fault. Finn Hudson is a bastard." Quinn all but growled. "And he will pay, and besides if you want when you tell your dads, I will be right next to you."
"You would do that for me?" Rachel asked shocked.
"Anything you need." Quinn agreed.
"That's why Puck hasn't come by, isn't it?" Rachel asked suddenly switching gears.
"What do you mean?" Quinn cocked her head to try and appear confused, not quite meeting the chocolate eyes that were starring up at her.
"I know I wasn't a fan of seeing him right after everything, but I thought he would have come by today, he is out after Finn, isn't he?" Rachel replied.
"Ok yes, but! He has Mike and Matt with him!" Quinn defended.
"They shouldn't be fighting him over this!" Rachel cried out.
"Rach, he raped you! He hit you! He did so much to you that I would kill him if it wasn't that I was so worried of leaving you. I am not going to be away from your side again, I can't have you get hurt! I love you to much to lose you!" Quinn shouted.
"Love?" Rachel asked shocked.
Quinn's eyes went wide as she replayed what she had just said, and then internally groaned. She sure stepped in it this time.
