So I have decided to not make Brittney as ditsy as she is portrayed to be in the show and I decided to not make Rachel vegan. Sorry guy's my story got cut short and I do promise to throw in some more glee friendship soon.

Disclaimer: Don't own characters or Glee I'm just borrowing them at the moment.

Rachel eyes popped open and she immediately regretted it and closed them. Her head hurt and the light in the room just made it worse. She opened her eyes again blinking rapidly letting her eyes get accustom to the light. She looked to her left when she finally registered that someone was holding her had. Where the hell am I?She looked over and saw that it was Quinn holding her hand and smiled. She finally allowed herself to look around and see that she was in the hospital. What happened? Where's L-him? Am I really dead because frankly this is not what pictured heaven to look like. But on the bright side Quinn's with me. Rachel looked over at the chair in the corner of the room by Quinn's where Santana and Brittney were cuddled together. She smiled but that smile washed off her face the next second when she started to feel the pain throughout her whole body. Her pain medicine was starting to wear off and her hand was going numb from Quinn's clutch on it. Rachel leaned back and stared at the ceiling hoping that if she concentrated on the ceiling hard enough she could somehow distract herself and not think about what happened just a few hours ago. As far as she could tell if she didn't think about it then it didn't have to be real and she could just burry it in her past like a bad dream. Well for at least a few hours.

Santana's eyes popped open and she gasped. She was having a rather vivid nightmare that Rachel didn't make it away from her father and she died. She shook her head. It was just a dream. It was not real. She chanted in her head over and over again. She looked around and noticed that Rachel was wide awake and staring at the ceiling. She untangled herself from Brittney carefully so that she wouldn't wake her girlfriend and stood up slowly watching Rachel. She didn't seem to realize that Santana was awake. She slowly walked over to the side of Rachel bed and slowly grabbed her hand. She regretted it when she saw Rachel flinch and fear fill her big brown orbs.

"It's okay muñeca it's just me. I'm so sorry Ray. I'm so sorry." Santana whispered rubbing small circles in the smaller girls palm like her mother did when she was sad or afraid. Tears burned Rachel's eyes as they threatened to fall. She shook her head at Santana. She didn't want to do this right now. She didn't want to feel it all but she did and it hurt. It felt like a train hitting her from both directions. The tears the threatened to fall where now in full force. She extracted her hand from Quinn's and tried to sit herself up. She ignored the pain and wrapped her arms around herself as if she where preventing herself from crumpling.

"Rach-."

"Don't San not… I can't right now… just please."

Santana nodded. She understood that she couldn't crumple right now. But she did intend on pushing Rachel when they brought her home. She didn't want the girl to bottle it up and then explode because that wasn't going to help her and she wasn't going to lose Rachel anymore that she already did.

"Okay."

Rachel laid her head on her knees and covered her mouth trying to muffle the sounds that where coming from her body. She was shaking hard. Santana pulled the girl carefully into a hug and let her cry. She whispered small words of reassurance in her ear and just let Rachel cry.

"It's okay precioso. Let it out."

Quinn and Brittney woke up from the sounds of Rachel's cries. When Quinn saw the girl was crying she frowned and looked up at Santana. She shook her head at Quinn and mouthed later to bother her and Brittney. Quinn slowly rubbed Rachel's back and Brittney took hold of Rachel's hand. They all stood like that until Rachel stopped crying.

"Thank you." She whispered to the three. "No need to say thank you Rach. We're here for you." Quinn said. She hated this. She hated seeing her like this. She wished she could bring Leroy back to life just so that she could kill him again but this time his death would be slow and painful and last for hours just so he could feel what Rachel felt every time he left a mark on her.

"Can… What happened to Le-Him?" Rachel asked look up from staring at her hands. Quinn, Brittney, and Santana looked at each other. They didn't want to tell her that he died. They didn't know how she would react or if she could handle this information at the moment. She was so fragile and they did not want to make it worse.

"Rachel…."

"It's okay Brittney. I can handle it. Just tell me please I need to know."

"He… They killed him Rachel."

Rachel looked down at her hands and took a moment to process the information she had just received. She was happy that he was gone because at least now he could never hurt her again. But that was still her father and she felt that she understood why he did what he did so it did sadden her to know that he was killed because of her. She looked up and nodded at the three girls. She slowly untangled herself from Santana and laid back and closed her eyes. Quinn was about to say something to try and make the girl any better but the nurse walked in with a tray and Quinn frowned.

"Okay Rachel its time for your pain meds. Here take these and make sure you eat all of your food okay?" She said placing a tray by Rachel's bed. Rachel nodded and swallowed her pills as quickly as she could so that the nurse would leave her alone. After a quick chat with Rachel's doctor the Peirce's walked in to the room hoping that she would be awake so that they could all talk. They wanted to make sure the little girl would be okay for the night and maybe convince the others to go home and sleep but they doubted that would happen.

During this interaction between the Peirce's and Rachel, Santana and Quinn sent a mast text to the glee club filling them in on what was going on with Rachel. Almost immediately everyone texted back saying that they will stop by tomorrow during visiting hours after school.

Mr. and Mrs. Peirce went out and went home. They begged the girls to go home and get some sleep but they were not going anywhere. They had no intention of leaving Rachel alone. Santana and Brittney feel asleep in the corner soon after. But Rachel couldn't sleep. Every time she would close her eyes her father's angry facial expression would cross her mind and her eyes would pop open as soon as they closed. Quinn noticed this and frowned. She hated to see her Rachel looking like that.

"Rach are you okay?" Stupid question Quinn thought to herself as she mentally kicked herself. She looked at Rachel and noticed the tears that streamed down her face. She walked over to Rachel's bed, careful to avoid any wires and tubes and climbed into bed with the tiny diva that looked smaller than ever now. She wrapped her arms around Rachel and held her and Rachel cried silently. She slipped her hand under Rachel's gown and stroked her abdomen slowly to calm her down. Rachel snuggled into Quinn and sighed after taking a deep breath. That night Rachel felt safer in Quinn's arms then she ever had.
