Rachel shrugged out of Finn's embrace, his gigantic hands feeling like heavy weights on her hips and heart. She stared at him intently before uttering a single word, "Leave." Finn looked at her in disbelief for a few moments before she stated a little bit louder and clearer, "Finn Hudson I want you to leave. You have no idea of the damage you caused and I want you out of my life. Stay away from Noah and I, don't try to contact us or come to visit again. Say goodbye to the kids. Goodbye Finn." With those parting words, Rachel locked herself in the bathroom and sank to the floor clutching her stomach as sobs wracked her lithe frame.
It had been almost a decade since she had revisited the painful memories of her abuse at the hands of her Uncle Max. 'Noah knew that drinking was absolutely disgusting to me and what did he do? He showed up drunk! In our home no less!' Rachel thought while holding back her tears. She wasn't upset anymore, now she was angry. She reached for her phone and dialed his cell listening to the phone ring incessantly until finally being redirected to his voicemail. "This is Noah Puckerman, leave a message." Rachel took a deep breath before saying, "Noah baby please come home, I'm sorry for everything and I miss you. We need to talk so please hurry home. I love you." She closed her phone and waited for him to return.
