-Main POV-
Rachel awoke exactly as she thought she would. Sore and tired. She got out of bed and dragged herself out of bed and into her bathroom. She got undressed leaving her in her undergarments and inspected her body. Her stomach was black and blue. Her face wasn't any better. Her left eye was black with a fist shaped bruise around it. She had a number of bruises on her cheeks and on her jaw. And the worst part about it was that she was letting her father Leroy's words get to her. Those walls that she build up not only to protect her from the ignorant and annoying children at school who tease and torture her but from her father.
The really sad part was that her other father Hiram was too busy with work being a doctor and all and his judgment was so clouded by the love of his husband that he couldn't see the rage and anger in his eyes and what he was doing to Rachel. The only reason he beat her was because he was upset. Hiram was so busy with work that he didn't have much time to spend with his family and when he did his attention was on Rachel and Leroy did not like the lack of attention. He was so envious and he was so full of rage so he took it out on his child.
Rachel knew she couldn't tell anyone no matter how much she wished she could. Her own mother who gave birth to her and who was supposed to love her didn't even want her. She didn't even try to get to know her. She knew that if her mother had done that to her then no one would even give her a chance or even glance her way. She knew no one would take her if she was taken away from her father's so she knew to keep her mouth shut. If only Rachel could see there were people who cared.
Rachel stood in front of the mirror just standing there looking at the person he changed her into. She was so bruised and so broken and she was angry. She was angry that she let him beat her. She was angry that him for beating her. She was angry that she couldn't stop him and that her other father didn't even love her enough that he couldn't even see what Leroy was doing to her. That the walls she built to protect her from the words and the slushies' and most of all the beatings where crumbling. But most of all she was angry that she was starting to believe the words. There was only so much that someone could take and Rachel Berry has just reached that point. She kept standing in front of the mirror.
"You are ugly! You are worthless! You are nothing! You are exactly like everyone says!" She says to herself. She wiped away her tears sighed and climbed into the shower hissing when the warm water hit a sore spot or squeezing her eyes shut when she washed over the fresh bruises on her arms and her belly. When she got out she did her new usual. She put on her make-up on her face and threw on yet another hoodie with and undershirt and a pair of skinny jeans and her converses.
"Ugh. Time for school." She said to herself before grabbing her bag and running out of the house before she could see Leroy. When she pulled into the school parking lot she knew she needed to keep a low profile so that she wouldn't run into those three cheerios who knew part of her secret. She pulled her hoodie over her head and kept her head down as she walked to her locker. She smiled when she realized the cheerleaders weren't there. She got her things and rushed to her first class. For the rest of the day with her head hanging low and her speed walking managing to avoid everybody and not get slushied until 15 minutes before glee club meeting.
During the last 15 min. of her free period she walked to the room. She figured if she got out earlier she could avoid talking to anybody but she wasn't so lucky.
"Hey loser why don't you just disappear? Your face makes me sick." Karofsky sneered at her high fiving Azimio shoving her into a nearby locker. Now Rachel was furious. She was so tired and sick of the insults and the beating but she did nothing because she knew that if she did she would just end up being beaten worse.
"Dammit." She whispered to herself as she heard the bell ring running into the choir room.
-Choir Room-
Main POV
Rachel walked into the choir room and sat in her usual seat. She was hurt, tired, angry, and upset. She sat there thinking things threw trying to quiet the negative voices in her head to shut up. She was so busy staring off into space that she didn't realize the rest of the glee club pile into the room.
"Rachel?" Kurt asked standing in front of the girl. Her head whipped up fear shining in her eyes, her hands balling into fists but uncurling when she realized that it was just Kurt.
"Huh? Yeah Kurt?" She replied confused.
"Are you okay girl? I've been calling you name for the past five minutes.
"Oh yeah I'm fine sorry I wasn't paying attention."
"Okay…." He replied a little hesitantly but went and sat in his seat as Mr. Schue walked in.
"Okay guys," he said clapping his hands together. "Let's talk sectionals."
"Mr. Schue," Mercedes said her hand shooting up. "I think that instead of railroad Rachel over there getting a solo-"But she was cut off by Rachel. Rachel snapped and all she saw was red. She was letting her anger get the best of her and if you thought quiet Rachel Berry was bad then you haven't seen anything yet because a Rachel Berry whose wall had crumbled and was as mad as she was is even worse.
"What did you just say?" She asked in a cold quiet worse that sent shivers down your spine. It sounded colder than Santana. But Mercedes didn't back down. She wanted that solo and she was ready to fight for it. It's too bad she didn't realize just how angry the little diva was. Everyone was on the edge of their seats now just waiting to see what Rachel would do. Would she let it go and rant like she would before she began to change or would she fight back?
"You heard me. I said you railroad everybody in glee because you think you're so much better than us and know some much and you get all the solos. Excuse me for wanting a chance at a solo."
Rachel said nothing but clench and unclench her fists taking the insults until she lost it.
"I'm just tired of you using your big mout-"
Rachel didn't let her finish she got up and kicked the chair she was sitting in across the room.
"SHUT UP! JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!" She screamed as she lunged after Mercedes scooting back in her chair away from the angry girl. But before she get to her Quinn and Santana jumped up to stop the girl. It took Brittney, Quinn, and Santana to pull the girl away from killing Mercedes.
"Mr. Schue where taking her to the bathroom to cool her down." Brittney said holding the girls arms as Rachel struggled to get out of their grasp. Mr. Schue just nodded shocked that Rachel could be so crazy and wild.
-Bathroom-
Santana kicked open the girl's bathroom door as they pulled the struggling girl into the bathroom. Quinn grasped Rachel's face carefully.
"Rachel calm down. Relax and breathe." After a few deep breathes Rachel finally called down and stopped fighting Santana and she let the little diva go.
"Alright Berry what the hell is going on with you yesterday we see you with bruises all over your face and now you're ready to rip Mercedes' face off. What is going on? You are not leaving here until you tell us the truth."
