Everyone gathered around the doctor waiting for what he had to say. Jodie was grasping the hand of her son tightly to assure him that whatever the outcome, she would be there. She didn't know much about the doctor; he had just transferred to Lima two weeks ago. He looked over his charts briefly and focused his attention on the family once again.

"She's doing fine. The blood transfusion was successful and she's resting right now. However, I'm very worried about her mental health." Puck smiled a little at this despite what he was saying. He always knew she was a little crazy but now he had a professional opinion. The doctor looked at the teenager with a kinked eyebrow. Puck cleared his voice and returned back to a serious gaze.

"Sorry."

"As I was saying, I'm very worried about her wellbeing. It says here that her parents aren't around that often and she doesn't have any family here in Lima."

"She's coming to live with us after her treatment," Jodie interrupted. The doctor nodded as he wrote down the new information.

"Well, I'm still worried. She's going to need constant supervision but I don't think she's at that point where I can just let her go. So, I've assigned her a psychiatrist in our mental health department. I'm suggesting she stay there at least for two weeks to get some help." The Puckermans, Matt and Mike nodded their heads taking in what the doctor was saying.

"Is she allowed to see any visitors?" Puck asked. The doctor nodded.

"She's sleeping right now but you can go in and sit with her. Don't overwhelm her too much; it's not good for her progression. I'm only going to allow one to two people in at a time just so she doesn't get too freaked when she wakes up." Everyone looked towards Puck because they knew that he was the one that wanted to see her the most.

"You go first. We'll come back tomorrow," Mike said. He nodded his head and followed the nurse who escorted him to Rachel's room. Puck walked into the room and found Rachel lying there sleeping peacefully. He made his way to the chair beside her and held her hand in his. He could feel her squeeze his hand gently as her eyes slowly opened.

"Hey, you're awake," Puck said.

"Yeah, you know me. I'm not one for naps in the middle of the day."

"It's the middle of the night Berry. You've been knocked out for a while."

"Exactly why I can't sleep," she retorted back. He chuckled lightly as he pushed the hair away from her face.

"Why did you do it?" he asked. She shrugged. She knew why she did it; she just didn't want him to know why she did it. She didn't want anyone to know she did. It wasn't her goal while attempting this to wake up in a hospital room with Puck by her side.

"Hey don't do that Rach. You know I'm here for you."

"I just don't want to talk about it," she muttered back. He finally relented and dropped the subject.

"Maybe not now but for sure we're going to talk about this." She voiced her agreement before yawning slightly.

"Turns out you're tired after all," he said. She smiled sadly at him.

"Can you sing to me Noah?" He normally wasn't the type to sing out loud but for her, he'd do anything. Even if that meant he was whipped. He nodded as he began singing the opening words to Sweet Caroline softly. She smiled in her sleep before closing her eyes and drifting deeper into sleep. He looked back at her and kissed her forehead as he finished the song.

"Good night Rachel." He rested his head on his hand that was lying on top of hers and shut his eyes. Sleep overcame him quickly exhausted at the events of the day. They lay like that for the rest of the night until he felt her fingers playing with the small strip of hair he had left.

"Hey, sorry I fell asleep."

"It's okay. You needed it; you looked like a zombie last night."

"Can we talk now?" he asked. She shrugged.

"You're not going to drop it until we do huh?" He nodded his head. "Fine, what do you want to know?"

"Why did you do it?"

"I was tired."

"Many people are tired doesn't mean they go and try to off themselves," he said trying to control his anger.

"I'm tired Noah mentally, physically and emotionally. I'm tired of having to wake up every day and try to make myself happy. I'm tired of trying to pretend like everything's alright when it's not, of having to deal with drama of glee, of school of everything. I'm just tired of being alone," she said breaking down into tears.

"Hey, you're not alone. You have me, and Mike and Matt, my sister and my parents," he said grabbing her into his arms.

"It's still not the same Noah. I have nothing left. As much as my dads love me, they're never home anymore. I go home every night to an empty house where I eat, sleep, watch T.V., and do everything else alone. I'm sick of knowing that I'm the reason why you, Mike and Matt aren't friends with your old friends anymore. I'm sick of getting things taken away from me to please others. It's just not fair. I'm a nobody and I'm just going to be stuck in this stupid cow town filled with people who hate me."

"Hey, you're Rachel Berry remember? Broadway star in training." She shook her head.

"Julliard doesn't want me," she said sadly.

"What do you mean?"

"I sent them a highlights reel of my performances from glee, dance and everything else. They sent it back with a letter saying that whilst it was entertaining to watch, there was nothing in there that had star potential."

"Bullshit Berry. Those Julliard stiffs don't know what they're talking about."

"They're some of the best people in the business Noah and they don't want me. I'll never make it into Broadway. Kurt was right. I'm talented but easily replaceable."

"Hey forget about what Beyonce and everyone else have to say. You're Rachel Berry and regardless if it's Broadway or some other dream, you will accomplish it because I have faith in you."

"It doesn't matter Noah. Once everyone finds out what happened, it's going to be worse than before and I don't want to deal with that."

"Hey, you're not going to. No one needs to know what happened." Before she could say anything, the doctor walked in followed by Puck's mom, Mike, Matt and an older man who looked like a mature version of Puck.

"Hey you're awake. I found some strays out in the waiting room wondering if they could come in," he joked. She gave him a small smile before nodding. Mike and Matt went over to her first and gathered her in a big bear hug. Puck's mom followed suit fussing over every little thing. The older man stayed in the front of the room.

"I'm not trying to be rude but who are you?" Rachel asked.

"That's my dad," Puck said grinning back at the older man. "He's the one that gave you the blood you needed."

"It's an honor to meet the girl that has finally gotten my son to settle down," the older man said stepping up and extending his hand. Both Rachel and Puck blushed at his comment before she held her hand out and shook it.

"Thank you," Rachel said. He nodded before making his way back to his previous position. After the greetings were exchanged, the doctor started to explain to Rachel what was going to happen next. She took everything in nodding and asking questions when needed.

"I'll be back to check on you a little bit later. The psychiatrist is coming a bit later as well," he said before making his way out the door.

"So what happens now?" Rachel asked Puck's mom.

"You'll be staying with us. Your dads will get here as soon as they can but you'll be living with us from now on. Well, at least after your treatment is over. We have a spare bedroom that I'm sure Noah, Mike and Matt won't mind setting up for you." The three boys nodded their heads in agreement.

"I don't know what to say. I don't want to be a burden." Puck's mom shook her head and held her hand up signaling for Rachel to stop.

"You're not being a burden. I've always seen you as one of my kids and that's something you do for someone you love." Rachel's eyes were beginning to fill with tears as she nodded her head. Jodie who was going to start crying as well went over to Rachel and grabbed her in a hug. "Don't you scare us like that ever again."

"What are we going to tell the other kids at school? They're going to say something if they realize Rachel gone for two weeks," Matt asked. Everyone looked towards Puck's mom for answers.

"If you don't want to, you don't have to tell them anything. Of course, we'll have to tell your principle but that's the only person in that school that needs to know. We can just say that after the whole catastrophe at glee rehearsal, you went to visit your fathers for a while."

"What about her bandages?" Mike asked. Puck's mom shrugged.

"Those are going to take a while to heal. Long sleeves, bracelets, whatever you need to do Rachel." She nodded her head thanking Puck's mom for her hospitality.

"We'll figure this out Rachel. Don't worry," Puck said. The small group sat around her room talking for a while until two surprising guests walked into her room.
