Hey guys! Sorry it's late! Writing issues and stuff but I won't go there. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Ain't ours! Sure, Ryan Murphy took one of my ideas, but he ain't doin' me any favors! He took the wrong one, silly man!
April's POV
I can't believe this, I think as Will drives us both back to the apartment. This guy's been sending her threats by text. Now how do I keep her calm?
~•~•~•~•~•~
I was just leaving my history test when my phone buzzed with a text from Rachel. It said that that ceep was texting her and it was freaking her out. I told her I would tell Will and when I did he told me to tell her that we were coming home.
~•~•~•~•~•~
As soon as we get back, I hop out of the car to find Rachel in tears. I run to her side and take her hand while rubbing her back, saying whatever calming words that come to mind. I look at Will, worried.
~•~•~•~•~•~
Later that night I finally calm Rachel down. Later during dinner she refuses to eat, but for the time I let it slide. I wouldn't want to eat when the creeper that's after me and I'm afraid wants to kill me is nonstop texting me. Afterward I sit and start to go over song ideas I was going to show Will when I hear a loud yell from Rachel's room. I jump up and run to see her screaming, begging someone to leave her alone and not to touch her.
"Rachel, sweetie, wake up!" I say, somewhat sharply as I gently grip her shoulders.
She eventually wakes up, more terrified than ever. I begin to calm her down again as Will walks in. Nightmares, I mouth to him as I continue to rub Rachel's back.
Eventually, Rachel eventually falls asleep again and I quietly creep out.
Two Weeks Later…
April's POV
The next two weeks pass in a blur of nightmares, begging, panics, and sleep deprivation.
Every few hours Rachel wakes up and begins to yell from her room. Will tries to help me and let me sleep by calming her himself but it never works and I always end up calming her down in the end. I've started sleeping on the couch.
It might seem strange, how I'm being so nice to Rachel, but I have my reasons. People usually see me as a stupid, drunk, stuck up floozy, but I'm more than you see. I only act like that when I'm drunk and there's a lot more heart down there if you catch me sober. Rachel was raped, and you think I wouldn't care?
Rachel's stopped eating. That's the most recent thing I've noticed. Oh Will's been cooking for her, but she just won't eat. Despite all of my begging she just refuses to eat a bite of whatever we have. Actually, within the last two weeks with Will and I, Rachel's getting worse, not better. Every time she closes her eyes, she ends up screaming and yelling, it's terrible. I haven't slept at all since Rachel got here, and it's beginning to take it's toll.
I'm sure my grades are slipping. I failed six tests and haven't gotten any homework finished since I need to watch Rachel. I'm also semi-sure I'm starting to look like I fell off a hay wagon. I haven't slept, but also I haven't had too many showers lately and I definitely haven't had time to brush out my hair. Actually, without much sleep, I haven't remembered anything that doesn't have to do with taking care of Rachel.
It's almost like taking care of a baby… actually, no, it isn't. I just hope we can take care of this before it gets any worse. Rachel hasn't told me or Will what happened, but it sounds like she's afraid he'll kill her, so I'm sure it was pretty bad. We might have to get someone to help soon, I don't think I'll last without sleep much longer.

WILL'S POV
It's been two weeks since I picked Rachel up from Dayton. Her boss back in New York figured out that she'd run away and called, and seemed kinda angry when she told him what happened. She's not really getting any better, actually I think she's getting worse. A few days ago she stopped eating, actually it was the same day her boss called. Don't get me wrong, I've been cooking for her, but she just doesn't want to eat, or do anything really. I think this has begun to take a toll on April too; she seems more stressed, worried, and tired than she usually is.
Rachel is definately not coping well. She seems to have a nightmare every time she tries to sleep. It's the saddest thing I've ever seen in my life, It's comparable to having a newborn baby, well not really. She seems to wake up screaming every few hours and I've tried to comfort her a few times to let April sleep, but she just won't let me. She still hasn't really told me or April what happened, and I'm really worried. For some reason all I remember is that she said he wanted to kill her... so it must have been bad. I think it's time for her to get some real help. I'm going to talk to Emma in the morning, she'll know what to do.
