This is a bad chapter. Bad, bad chapter. Please forgive it's badness. Enjoy :)
When Finn had scared off Jesse St. James he thought that was the end of that trouble. He never imagined that he'd be knocking on the door of his girlfriend's house while he was not there. Jesse had trouble believing that he and Rachel were officially over and to make matters worse Jesse had been drinking for a while.
Rachel answered the door, huffing loudly because the knocking hadn't stopped. Finn wasn't due over for another hour so it was probably Kurt. "I'm coming. Shut up!" she yelled at the door. She flung the door open and gaped at the person standing there in front of it. Jesse pushed his way into the house and made himself comfortable on the lounge. With any luck her Dad would be back or Finn would come early to save her from Jesse.
"What do you want Jesse?" Jesse just looked at her blankly. "What do you want?" she repeated, harder this time.
"All I want is you Rachel. I just want you, no one else," Jesse slurred. He was so drunk and Rachel knew from experience that Jesse got violent when he drank. She was a little bit scared but she had to stand her ground.
"Jesse, you're drunk. I think you need to leave,"
"No!" Jesse screamed. Rachel jumped at the harshness in his voice. "You're mine and I won't leave until I get you back!"
"No! Jesse, I don't belong to you! I don't love you! I'm with Finn now Jesse! Leave me alone!"
Jesse grabbed Rachel's wrist and yanked her down onto the lounge. He twisted her wrists harder and Rachel cringed from pain. "Why him? Why that bloody giant? He never cared about you, Rachel! Not the same way that I care about you! He's nothing, worthless! He ran off to Australia. He never stayed in contact with you! He left you behind, Rachel! He's scum!"
"No! That's not true! He doesn't hit me! He doesn't hurt me! He cares about me! He never made me feel like crap! He is always there for me! And he never told me to 'grow up and get over it' when I told him about Savannah! You, Jesse St. James, are scum! You are the definition of scum! Get out!"
"No! I won't get out Rachel! Not until you pledge yourself to me! You're mine Rachel Berry! I will marry you and we will have children and Finn Hudson is not going to get in the way of that!" Jesse reached out and took Rachel face in his hands. He heard knocking on the door and heard the voice from behind. "Ignore it!" he commanded her.
"Rachel?" Finn yelled. He sounded scared. "Rachel?" he yelled again.
"Finn! Help me!" Rachel yelled before Jesse slapped his hand over her mouth, muffling any noise that could've escaped.
"Rachel? Rachel!" Finn kicked down Rachel's front door and ran through the house. He stopped when he saw the sight in front of him. Jesse St. James had Rachel in a menacing grip, squeezing her neck so she was almost choking. The tears ran down her face rapidly and the look on her face resembled pure horror.
"Jesse!"
"Finn Hudson. Look what we have here. Who's going to save you now?"
"Let her go Jesse. This is between me and you. Leave her out of it!"
"If that's the way you want it, then sure!" Jesse pushed Rachel into a wall and she sank to the ground, cowering there like a three-year-old. Jesse approached Finn and took aim. He threw a punch and Finn swiftly dodged. Finn wasn't going to throw any punches unless it was absolutely necessary. Jesse aimed again and again and again. He hit Finn once on the nose, breaking it. Finn remembered hearing Rachel scream out no before he found the courage to punch Jesse square on the face. One punch was all it took. Jesse St. James gave up on ever getting Rachel back. Jesse retreated and then Finn passed out.
When he came around he was lying in the same place as when he passed out. His nose had stopped bleeding but it hurt like hell. He tried to sit up but he fell back down in a dizzy haze. Rachel walked into the room, make-up smudged and tears trailing down her face, with a towel and cold water. When she saw Finn she let out a breath that she didn't even know she'd been holding.
"Oh thank god!" she said, relieved. "I thought you would never wake up,"
"And leave behind your melodramatics? Never!" Finn joked around. He was trying to get a smile from Rachel. She looked so sad and depressed.
"Finn, I'm serious! Come on, I'll help on to the lounge. I couldn't move you by myself," Rachel helped Finn stand up and walk over to where the lounge was. She laid him down and watched as his head fell hard on to the pillow. "I was so scared Finn. I didn't know how hard he hit you. I was scared," Rachel sobbed. The tears were falling again and Finn hated to see her so shaken up.
"It's okay, Rachey. I'd never leave you. I couldn't leave you. The pain would kill me Rach. Don't ever think I'd leave you," Finn said. His eyes began to tear up. He wanted so bad just to let her know he'd never leave her.
"But what about Sydney? You're vacation ends soon and then you'll go back to Australia and leave me,"
"I know, Rach, I know. My holiday ends in three weeks but we can tackle Australia when it gets closer. Right now I just want to be with you. You're all that matters to me right now,"
Rachel let a small smile through and she moved over to kiss Finn. He winced and she looked at him, worried. He shook his head and they kissed again. Finn loved where he was at and he didn't want to think about Australia right then because Rachel was the only person who mattered in that moment.
