A/N- Faberry friendship chapter (: Not much Rachel/Alyssa but there will be some. Rachel shows her badass side :D (kind of :P)

I had to re-write this chapter twice because I wasn't happy with where it was going.

"Why are you here Alyssa?" I asked. I was so angry! Why the hell was she here at 6am in the morning? It's creepy, and how did she know where everything was? She was meant to answer me before but she never did. I had had the worst night and I didn't need to deal with her right now. I was actually planning on skipping school today because of two things, I was scared of Finn and I wanted to buy a pregnancy test.
"I had to be here Rach, I know you're mad, and I can't work out why. But I need to be here to protect you in case my father comes back, you don't have to talk to me, just let me be near you." Alyssa said in a hushed tone, her body language was showing that she was going nowhere, "And what the fuck happened to your face?" She screamed.
"Why Alyssa, why do you HAVE to be here?" I asked sarcastically, I was sick of people! And I wasn't going to tell her, she didn't need to know.
"My father, he wants to kill you." She whispered, no shit, he tried killing me yesterday!
"Well, that shouldn't be a problem, I'll call the police." I said with confidence in my voice, but I could see how nervous Alyssa was getting by the second. My anger towards her was also disintegrating as the seconds went by.
"The police won't help you. Rachel, when I was thirteen my father told me that he had killed my mum and sister. But Emily told me yesterday that he kicked my mum and her out of the house because my mum found her mate in a female. He was outraged and Emily went with mum because she couldn't leave her. Also, Emily wasn't really my father's child.. My mum had an affair and got pregnant with Emily, father had only found that out a few days before he kicked them out. He wanted me to stay with him so he could protect me from the so called disease my mum had. Early this morning Emily told me how my mum died," She tried to keep talking but she started crying. Great, now what was I supposed to do?
"Ummm.. don't cry?" I told her,
"Was that a question or an order?" She asked, she had a slight smile on her face,
"An order?" I asked unsurely, I saw her tears slow down a bit, gosh, why did this have to happen to me? Why did this shape shifter have to choose me? I didn't need this on top of everything else. I needed to go to school.
"I'm going to school," I said and I ignored her answer and got dressed, I didn't care if she was looking at me, she could look but not touch. This was my body! No one else is going to touch me unless I let them! I ignored her the whole time and walked out of my room and down the stairs. I was walking so fast I tripped on the last step, my hands instinctively went to protect my stomach. I somehow managed to save myself; I knew my agility training would come in handy at some point. I walked to the kitchen and got cold vegan pancakes out of the fridge and warmed them up in the microwave. Alyssa was standing in the doorway but I was ignoring her, she had a hurt look on her face and it was getting harder to ignore her. But I persisted, I got my pancakes and ate them plain, the thought of putting anything on them made me feel like throwing up. I went up to my bathroom and cleaned my teeth then left for school. As I was walking to school, I sensed Alyssa was following me but I wouldn't give her the satisfaction of turning around to see her. I looked down at my watch, school started in 5 minutes! I started running, I couldn't be late. I know I didn't want to go to school today but I would rather be at school than at home with Alyssa.

I sat down, just in time; the bell had rung 3 seconds after I sat down. Luckily Finn wasn't in this class with me, I was so tired from running that I couldn't concentrate on what the teacher was saying. He was saying something about the Russian Revolution and communism but I was so out of it that I didn't listen.
"Who did that to your face?" A female voice asked, I looked to my right and saw Quinn sitting next to me… that was really odd.
"Why do you care?" I hissed, she was the last person I wanted to talk to!
"Look Rachel," she said softly, I flinched, she called me Rachel! "I'm really sorry about everything I've done; I want to be your friend. Everything that happened with Beth and Shelby, and Puck, I need someone who can be a genuine friend. Santana is always with Brittany, her tongue is either in her mouth or her fingers are up her skirt! It's disturbing when you're trying to tell them something." Quinn whispered and I saw something flick in her eyes, I didn't know if I could trust her, but I had wanted this friendship forever that I was willing to give her a chance.
"I'm sorry to hear that Quinn, and I certainly did not need that image of Brittany and Santana but I will take you up on that request of being friends. I know what it feels like to have no one to turn to." I replied. I felt like we could be good friends if we tried.
"Thank you so much Rachel, for giving me this chance. I'm very, very sorry about everything that I have done to you during the pa.."
"Miss Fabray and Miss Berry, do you have something you would like to share with the class," Our teacher yelled, I felt myself blush but Quinn just straightened her back and said confidently,
"No sir, Rachel and I were just discussing what we were going to do tonight, not that it's any of your business!" She hissed and put on her HBIC look on. I felt butterflies in my stomach, Quinn had just told the whole class we were doing something together, didn't she know that she was going to bring her reputation down? She didn't seem to care; she turned and smiled at me. I ignored the teacher yelling and smiled back when I felt the familiar stirring in my stomach, I had no time to talk, I stood up and ran out of class and to the closest bathroom. I ran into the toilet and threw my breakfast up. When was this going to stop! I started choking and felt someone patting my back, far out! It better not be Alyssa! But I had no time to check as I felt another lot coming up, I threw it up into the toilet and coughed and splattered.
"Are you ok Rachel?" It was Quinn.

"I should be, I have just had a stomach bug lately, I never get sick but oh well, you can't help what comes naturally," I replied to her, I wiped my mouth with the gross school toilet paper and flushed the toilet. Quinn looked concerned.
"Are you sure?" She asked,
"Yeah, I'll be fine soon. I already feel better, let's get back to class," I said, we needed to get back.
"Do you really want to go back there?" Quinn asked, sounding mischievous.
"Not really.. What do you have in mind Quinn?" I asked, I am usually opposed to wagging school but I did it on Friday with Alyssa, and I felt horrible today, my cheek was throbbing and I was scared to face Finn.
"Wanna go chill at your house?" She asked, I thought about that for a second, I didn't need much longer to think, I nodded and she smiled widely.
"Great!" She giggled and grabbed my hand. We snuck out of the bathroom and pretended to be ninja's as we snuck out of the school. I started leading her towards the exit when she pulled me the other way.
"I'll drive you, come on, my car is this way!" She giggled, she sure was happy today. We walked over to her car and she opened the door for me, I slid into the car and buckled myself up, she shut the door for me. I watched her walk around the car, she was smiling so much, and I had never seen her smile so much in the whole time I've known her. She jumped into the driver's seat and sped out of school before we got caught by anyone.
"Quinn, how do you know where to go?" I asked, confused.
"Your party you had last year, I remember where to go, you also don't live too far away from me," Quinn explained and I smiled, she remembered my party! That was a great night, although I can't remember much after singing with Blaine. I closed my eyes; Quinn's car was making me tired, because it was so smooth!

Someone was shaking my shoulder! I wanted to tell them to get lost but I opened my eyes and saw it was Quinn. I smiled,
"Hey Quinn," I said happily, I felt dizzy and I was only half-awake.
"Come on sleepy head! Let's go in! I wanna do something fun!" She smiled and I undid myself and got out of the car. Quinn closed the door for me and I led her inside.
"So Rachel, what interesting things do you have at your house to do?" Quinn asked, she looked so energetic, it was good to see her happy for once. I had always secretly cared about her and wanted to be her friend. This felt like a dream! And I was glad she stopped asking about my face, I didn't feel like explaining that just yet.
"Want to see my guilty pleasure?" I asked her, I had never shared this with anyone!
"Sure," Quinn replied happily. I grabbed her hand and led her to my backyard. I took her to the gate that led to the mini forest behind my house and let go of her hand. I jumped the fence and she copied me. I followed the over grown path to a little hut my dad's had built for me. I hadn't been out here since the Jesse incident and was looking forward to seeing my babies again!
"Why are we out here?" Quinn asked, she looked kind of nervous, "You aren't going to kill me, are you?"
"Nonsense Quinn! I'm showing you my babies!" I took out a key from under a rock and opened the hut. I walked inside and smiled. It hadn't changed!
"Holy shit Rachel!" Quinn screamed, I smiled, I was proud of everything I had.
"Welcome to my secret world Quinn! Well, not really secret, but I've never shared these with anyone!"
"Where did you get the money to get all this?" She asked, truly mesmerised.
"My dad's… My dad's dad was a multi-millionaire, and he left my dad a few million dollars when he died. My daddy won a T.V show and got one million dollars. They give me a few thousand dollars every time they go away and because I don't eat much, I have heaps to spend on things for me," I explained, at least when my dad's did leave, I had money, they weren't totally bad.
"Holy shit! Wow Rachel!" Quinn screamed again, "Let's ride them!" I smiled, I was proud of my 4-wheelers, I had a rare version, she was my baby, and she was metallic purple and had gold stars all over her. Quinn ran to the red one and jumped on it. I smiled; she had the same enthusiasm I had for them. I retrieved the keys for them and handed them to Quinn,
"Follow me and I'll take you to the course I made for myself. There's tunnels, jumps and.. wait, I won't wreck it for you. Let's go!" I squealed and jumped on my baby. I revved her engine and sped out of the hut. Quinn was hot on my heels.. I mean.. tyres.. We sped through the forest to the back where I had made my course. Everyone thinks I'm a boring person who only lives for Broadway songs but that's wrong! I love doing this! It's my release for when I'm down. Tears were falling out of my eyes because of the wind and I could hear Quinn's laughter from behind me. We reached the clearing and I sped up even more, I directed my 4-wheeler to the smallest jump and zoomed over it. This was great fun! I giggled as all four wheels landed back on the ground and I turned to see Quinn going over the small jump as well, she looked like a natural, I had to ask her where she learnt how to ride one.
"Do whatever you want!" I called out to her and sped off for my favourite part of the course; I rode into the tunnel and started the underground maze. I knew my way around it like the back of my hand. I heard Quinn squealing from behind me and I knew this is what I had needed all these weeks. I decided to throw Quinn of her path and zoomed towards a secret part of the maze, a short cut, it was through a black blanket and everyone I had taken down here had never noticed it until I told them. I stopped my 4-wheeler so Quinn didn't hear me.

I heard her stop and I could imagine her face,
"Rachel? Where did you go?" She called out, her voice quivering. I tried not to giggle, this was the most fun I've had in ages, I hadn't thought about Alyssa all day! Or Jesse.. shit.. I reached for my stomach; this couldn't be good if I was pregnant. Oh well, I was having too much fun. I heard Quinn scream and I turned my 4-wheeler on and rode out of my place. I looked to Quinn and she looked terrified. I rode over to her,
"Quinn, what's wrong?" I asked, she looked like she had seen a ghost. She pointed to the darker end of the tunnel and I saw two red eyes. I screamed, he was back!
"Quinn, we have to get out NOW!" I screamed and I was about to drive off when I saw Quinn crying, curled up against her 4-wheeler. She looked up at me with helpless eyes and my heart hurt. She didn't want to move, but I wasn't leaving her here! I reversed to her and grabbed her,
"Get on mine," I called to her, I looked behind me and the eyes were slowly moving closer to us. I dragged her onto my baby and I felt her cling to my waist, I revved the engine and sped out of here. I heard a howl and knew he was after us. My heart felt like it was going to jump out of my throat, right now, I wished I hadn't been so mean to Alyssa; she was only trying to help me! But everything was so confusing! I had been so upset with everything that happened and I didn't have the strength to deal with her right now. I snapped out of my thoughts, I had time to think about her later, right now, I needed to get Quinn and I out of here! How could he wreck my day like this? I saw light and prayed my 4-wheeler would speed up a bit more! But it didn't, I couldn't go any faster than 80kms. But surely the wolf wouldn't be able to keep up, would he? I turned around and realised he was still right behind me, not catching up but keeping a steady pace.
"Alyssa! I need you! Please!" I screamed out, Quinn was clinging onto me and coming into the bright light temporarily blinded me, but it was enough to cause me to slow. I heard a growl right behind me and felt Quinn get ripped away from me! I came to a dead stop, Quinn was screaming and crying.
"You bastard! I'm the one you want! Leave Quinn alone! Please! She has nothing to do with this!" I yelled out, crying. The wolf locked eyes with me and dropped Quinn; I saw her curl up and crawl away as the wolf stalked towards me.
"Alyssa! Please help!" I screamed out as loud as I could. I closed my eyes and prayed for help.
"Alyssa isn't here to save you princess, it's only me and you baby!" A deep male voice called out, I opened my eyes and saw a naked man standing in front of me, gross, I really didn't need to see that!
"What do you want with me?" I called out, my hand on the accelerator just in case I needed to go fast.
"What do I want with you? Huh? I want you dead! You have corrupted my only daughter! And for that, you must die!" He sneered and lurked closer to me. He bent down to a bag attached to his ankle and pulled out a massive butcher knife! I screamed and screamed, I looked around for Quinn but she was out of sight, I pressed down on the accelerator and the 4-wheeler lurched to life, carrying me across the flat ground. He ran after me and I started crying, I might as well give up now, I didn't wanna crash my baby. I stopped and jumped off her, I sprinted for the safety of the woods when I felt someone grab my leg, I let out an ear splitting scream. I felt a hand on my mouth and I looked up, it was Alyssa,
"Stay here and be quiet," she whispered, then she ran out to the path and before my eyes, I saw her change into a wolf. She sprinted for her father and snapped at him.
"Now now Lyssy girl, think about what you're doing," her father said quietly and then shifted, I saw her twitch and I heard someone creeping up behind me. I spun around, ready to punch, when I saw it was Quinn. She crept over to me, she looked terrified.
"What is going on Rachel?" She whispered, she was still crying,
"I'll let Alyssa explain that to you when she's finished, it's not my secret to tell," I whispered back,
"Alyssa? Isn't that the new girl who still hasn't been to one full day of school?" Quinn asked, slightly louder than before, I looked back to the fight and saw the black wolf was looking directly to where we were hiding.
"Quinn, you have to be quiet, don't talk, don't move, and don't make a sound!" I whispered as quietly as I could. She nodded and closed her eyes tightly. I watched the fight, it was moving closer to us when Alyssa knocked the black wolf down and bit down onto his neck hard, he yelped out in pain and whimpered. Alyssa kept her grip and growled, she let go of him and scratched his body, he yelped out again. Alyssa stood back and he tried to stand but couldn't, Alyssa quickly walked over to where he dropped the knife and picked it up. She carried it into the forest and then I couldn't see her.
"Quinn, it's over, we're ok," I whispered to her, she opened her hazel eyes, she was absolutely petrified.
"What happened?" She asked,
"My father was being a dickhead, as usual, doing his daily thing of trying to kill Rachel, we're ok for now. Rachel, get on your 4-wheeler and we'll take Quinn back to hers, I'm going back into my wolf form in case he wakes up, I knocked him out. Let's move quickly," Alyssa said casually, I stared at her like she was crazy! Quinn looked even more terrified and clung onto me, I saw Alyssa's eyes harden but I didn't make Quinn let go of me. We walked over to my 4-wheeler and I got on first, I covered Quinn's eyes as Alyssa stripped down and shifted. I helped Quinn on behind me and turned my baby on, I drove off with Alyssa trailing close behind me, Quinn refused to turn and believe what she was seeing was real.

"Quinn, you can look now," I said to her, she was clinging onto me and had her head hiding against my back. Quinn lifted her head off my back and blinked a few times.
"Oh, thank you Rachel," She replied and got off and walked over to the red 4-wheeler. I watched her get on and then felt another pair of arms wrap around my waist so I turned and locked eyes with dark blue eyes.
"Thank you so much for saving us Alyssa," I whispered, I was now ashamed of the way I treated her this morning, "I'm so sorry for the way I behaved this morning," Alyssa just smiled and kissed my neck. It sent shivers down my spine.
"Let's get going!" Quinn said and drove off. I followed her, I felt Alyssa's grip tighten and she rested against my back. I smiled, I really did feel bad about the way I treated her, I was just scared though, I didn't want to be the stereotypical daughter of two gay men because everyone said that I will turn out gay because my dads are gay. I didn't want to prove that true, but regardless of what I want, I couldn't help it, I had a crush on the beautiful brown-haired, blue-eyed beauty sitting behind me. The 4-wheeler vibrating underneath me as I rode wasn't helping either! I felt Alyssa kiss my neck again and I let out a small moan, I was so embarrassed! Luckily Quinn was ahead of me, she was riding faster and going over jumps, I was enjoying the slower pace with Alyssa behind me.
"I have to talk to you when we get back Rach," Alyssa said into my ear, I nodded and concentrated on steering my 4-wheeler. As the little hut came into view, Quinn and I stopped.
"That was great fun Rachel, apart from the... You know..." Quinn said to me as she got off the 4-wheeler,
"I'm glad you enjoyed most of it Quinn, I had a great time, I didn't even think about my problems while we were out there," I replied, I really did enjoy myself, I just wish Alyssa's father didn't show up. He ruined it.
"I'm really sorry about my father Rachel," Alyssa said softly, she looked like she was about to cry,
"It's ok Lys, it wasn't your fault," I replied, I didn't want her crying,
"What are you?" Quinn asked Alyssa,
"Shape shifter, and if you tell anyone, I'll personally kill you!" Alyssa hissed, I could tell she didn't want anyone knowing.
"I promise I won't tell anyone, I have a family friend who is a shape shifter, I just didn't realise it when I saw you," Quinn replied,
"Who's your friend?" Alyssa asked,
"She's only 8 and she lives with her Step-mum," Quinn replied, "But I'd rather not say names, her step-mum is very protective."
"What happened to her real mum?" Alyssa asked, I felt invisible, they were both ignoring me!
"She died, that's all I'm saying though," Quinn replied sternly, then she walked out of the little hut. I got off the 4-wheeler and Alyssa copied me. She held my hand and intertwined our fingers. I locked the hut and followed Quinn back to my house. Alyssa squeezed my hand and I squeezed her back, she squeezed me even harder back and I turned to face her and stuck my tongue out at her,
"Watch out Rach, I might do something I'll regret if you don't keep your tongue where it belongs!" Alyssa teased and I felt myself blush! Oh my gosh! How embarrassing! I gave her an evil look and tried letting go of her hand, she held firm.
"You look cute when you try to be mad," Alyssa teased again, I ignored her and started running, dragging her along behind me.

"Rachel! There's a car outside your house!" Quinn called out from up ahead, why would there be a car outside my house.
"Can we move faster Alyssa? I need to see who's here!" I told her, she scooped me up, much to my surprise, and took off. How the hell could a human move this fast? Oh well, we were in my backyard in a few seconds. I saw the car, my heart sunk. I didn't think my day could get any worse,
"Quinn, you might want to go, it's my dad's car, I'll see you tomorrow at school," I told her, something isn't right if my dads are home. Quinn nodded and walked to her car. I saw her leave and she beeped the horn to us. I waved and then turned to Alyssa.
"Lys, will you stay out here? Until I find out what they want?" I asked her, she looked sad and shook her head.
"I don't want to leave you, not after what happened before, I physically can't," Alyssa said sadly,
"Ok, just please don't explode at my dad's if they say something that shouldn't be right or is mean towards me," I warned her, she nodded and smiled,
"I promise to behave Rach," she said and smiled widely. I led us inside to the back door and walked inside.
"Rachel? Is that you?" A male voice called out,
"Yeah daddy, it's me, I have a friend with me," I called back, I walked into the lounge room and I saw them sitting down, dad looked very serious,
"Who's your friend?" Daddy asked,
"Dad, daddy this is Alyssa, my close friend," I said,
"Hello sirs, nice to meet you," Alyssa said sweetly,
"I'm Hiram, and this is Leroy, nice to meet you too," Dad said,
"So dad and daddy, why are you two home early?" I asked curiously,
"We're moving to Australia for 6 months," Dad said in his gruff voice, my heart fell, I couldn't move!
"I.. I don't want to move," I said sadly,
"No, not you, we meaning your daddy and I, your daddy got a year job offer in Australia and it's very well paid so he took it. We'll be back for Christmas to visit you and see how you're going with school, speaking of school, why aren't you at school today?" Dad said angrily, they were leaving me for a year? I felt like crying but I held my tears at bay and just held Alyssa's hand tighter,
"School finished 5 minutes ago and we had Glee last period and it finished early so I came home early," I lied easily, they didn't care whether I was at school or not, "So when are you two leaving?"
"Tonight, we just came home to tell you in person, we actually have to be at the airport in 30 minutes so we're going to leave now. We've put more money into your bank, more than usual, so use it wisely!" Dad said and then him and daddy stood up and walked out. I heard the front door slam, they didn't even ask about my face! They seemed to care less about me every year, they probably think because I'm in my last year of school that I'm old enough to live by myself, they were so wrong, I wish just once I had parents that cared, and Shelby doesn't count because she gave me up and didn't want anything to do with me. I felt myself become weak, I had such a hard few days and just wanted to sleep.
"Lys, I think I'm going to go to bed," I mumbled and tried to walk and nearly fell face first, but Alyssa caught me and carried me up to bed. She lied us down and pulled the blanket up tightly around us, I snuggled into her as she hugged me and I quickly fell asleep inhaling her scent.

"Come on little one, it's time for milkies" I called to a little girl with dark brown messy curls down to her shoulders. The little girl turned and smiled a massive smile and waddled over to me. I picked her up and carried her into the kitchen where my wife was cooking dinner. I got the little girls milk out of the microwave and sat down, setting her on my lap. She snuggled into me and drank greedily. My wife turned and smiled at me, her dark blue eyes shining.
"How are my two favourite girls?" She asked happily.
"Good mummy!" Our one and a half year old daughter replied through the nipple of the bottle. Milk dribbled down her chin and landed on her dress. I smiled and kissed her hair. My wife laughed and went back to cooking our dinner.
"Mama, what that?" Our daughter asked, she pointed to a truck coming down our drive way.
"It's here sweetie," I whispered. My wife walked over to me and we smiled together.

I woke up suddenly because I felt extremely cold so I felt around the bed and to try and find Alyssa but I couldn't feel her. I looked around the room and saw her silhouette against the window. I crept out of bed and went over to her but stopped short when I heard her sniffling,
"Lys?" I called out softly to get her attention but not scare her. She turned to look at me and my heart broke, she looked so broken and helpless, I rushed over to her and sat down next to her and hugged her tightly.
"What's wrong?" I asked softly and Alyssa just looked at me and started crying even more, sobs were rocking through her whole body. I closed my eyes and rested my head on her shoulder.
"I just had a really good dream; you want to know what happened?" I told her, I felt her nod against my head, "well, we were married, and we kept my child, she looked just like me, and I was feeding her a bottle and you were cooking dinner and then our child pointed out to us that a truck was coming down a driveway. It was so sweet and nice," I felt Alyssa stop crying,
"Keeping what child?" She asked in a chilling voice. Shit! She didn't know yet! Shit!
"I think I'm… pregnant.." I whispered, I felt Alyssa pull away and cringed, I hope she didn't hit me like Finn did, "Please don't hit me!"
"You're pregnant? Who? And why would I.. Oh my gosh! Did your giant so called boyfriend do that to your face?" She rambled on, I could hear the anger rising with her voice,
"Calm down, I think.. I got.. raped.. by the guy as well as attacked.. I haven't taken a test yet but I'm late with my period and all the throwing up, it just all fits. And yes, Finn did this to me when I told him, he called me a.. whore.. and then hit me," I whispered, starting to tear up just a bit.
"Oh gosh, everything just got worse," Alyssa mumbled.
"I didn't mean to make things worse for you! I'm so sorry!" I cried to her. The dream I had had made me realise just how strong my feelings for Alyssa were.
"You didn't sweetie, it's just I found out some very.. gruesome and heart breaking news yesterday morning and that's why I was at your house so early,"
"What did you find out?" I asked,
"How my mother died." Was all she said then she stood up and offered her hand to me, I happily took it and she helped me up. She looked like an angel in the moonlight,
"Really Rachel?" She asked… what the hell? I said nothing... oh shit…
"I didn't say that out loud… did I?"
"You did… thank you Rachel, you look pretty gorgeous yourself," she smirked and tugged me towards the bed. I happily followed and let go of her hand and jumped onto the bed.

"So, you think you might be pregnant?" Alyssa asked me, we were tucked into my bed and I had Funny Girl playing on my T.V.
"Yeah," I replied unsurely, "Why were you crying before Lys? Are you ok?"
"I was just thinking about my mum and Emily, do you know that my dad forced Emily to watch him kill my mum? And he didn't kill her quickly and easy, he made a mess of it and Em said he was laughed the whole time, he's a fucking sick person and he nearly killed you today! I can't lose you too Rachel, I've been dreaming of you since I was 9, I got mate dreams earlier than normal but I kept them to myself because I didn't understand them. That's how I knew lots of things about your house Rachel, I could see and what you were doing," Alyssa rambled on, staring out the window, "When I finally got the guts to tell my father about you, he became an alcoholic and bashed me up on a regular basis. But I loved you so much that it didn't work, I came out here to do work experience with Uncle Lopez and that day I was walking home after my first day of work, I was going to take the long way home but a tugging feeling told me to walk through the park, and then I saw you. The love of my life, and you were lying on the ground, covered in blood and bruises and cuts, and I had never felt so useless in my life, I needed to help you, I couldn't let you die without even knowing you personally, I took you to the hospital," She stopped to take a breath, gosh, she was worse than me with talking without breathing! I sat there listening to her, crying and mesmerised, "The doctors took you into surgery straight away because they needed to give you stitches on your cuts; he seemed to... have... used a knife or small, sharp object on you… I thought I was going to lose you before I even got you. I was determined to take the best care of you while you were in hospital, if I didn't have a shift on at a certain time, then I would be sitting with you in your room. I didn't want to leave you and you were lucky I didn't because at one point you had trouble breathing and I alerted the nurses and they saved you. When you woke up, my heart felt complete, I finally got to see your beautiful eyes for real and not through a dream. Then I had to go back home, I was terrified, if I had known your parents weren't home, then I would have never left you. But when I returned home, things were worse than usual, father could smell you on me and it infuriated him! He could sense my love for you and when it became too much, I left. I came back here and planned on getting to know you better. I'm sorry that I've made everything move so fast, I honestly planned on taking it slow with you, that's what usually happens, but I couldn't control the events my father caused which made me come out to you earlier, I was so afraid I had scared you off…"
"Lys, it's ok, you don't need to explain, I'm not scared of you, I'm so sorry for the way I acted yesterday morning but I was scared, not of you, but of everything and everyone else. I'm so sorry to hear about the way your father acted towards you, homophobia is a cruel thing, but unfortunately not everyone is as accepting and open-minded. But that gave him no right to kick your mum out or kill her! He has no right to do that and we should report him, but I know it's useless. I don't really know my mum, I met her 2 years ago but she rejected me, she's back at my school and things are very tense between us, we talk, but not much. Your life story though is so unfair, you shouldn't have to have lived that," I said angrily, her father is a d… dumbass!
"You shouldn't have to live by yourself while your dads live overseas and constantly travel! Let me stay with you? I don't want you being in this house alone without anyone, I'll stay here with you and keep you company and protect you. And as for your suspected pregnancy, I'll get you a test in the morning before school and we'll test you. Then we'll go to school and you'll go to Glee club for the first time in two days, I know how much you love singing," Alyssa said softly, "now baby girl, we should get some sleep," I got heart butterflies, she called me baby girl. I felt Alyssa lie down next to me and I followed her, I fell asleep to Barbra singing Don't Rain on My Parade.
