WILL'S APARTMENT
6:15 AM

WILL'S POV

I'm awakened by the sound of Reba McEntire's voice coming from April's alarm clock.

I wanna be somebody's Chelsea,
Somebody's world,
Somebody's day and night,
One and only girl…

Then April slams the snooze button. I quietly get up and get in the shower. Fifteen minutes later I hear the next part of the song.

A part of a love story,
That never has an end,
You know that's what every woman wants to be,
Somebody's Chelsea…

April turns the alarm off, and I get out of the shower and get dressed. When I walk back into the room, she's sitting on the side of the bed yawning.

"Hey…" I smile.

She smiles back at me and stretches her arms out in front of her, "How's Rachel?"

"I guess you could say better, she's with my mom. The last I saw, she'd fallen asleep in my mom's arms. My mom tried to get her to talk about it, but all she said was that she's really scared and that it really hurt when he did it…"

"Mmk. I'm exhausted, Will, but there's this lovely thing called an English quiz…" she says.

"It's okay… if you want to stay here with my mom and Rachel, you can. I'll just tell your English teacher you're sick…" I explain.

"No Will. I'm gonna go to school…" she protests, making her way towards the closet, pulls out a pair of jeans and a blue baseball shirt.

I take this as an opportunity to go check on my mom and Rachel. They've been pretty quiet so far this morning. I walk into the living room, but my mom must've gotten Rachel to bed at some point. I continue walking and find them both in the guest bedroom, Rachel's tossing and turning in bed, while my mom is sleeping in a very uncomfortable position in the chair. I decide to wake my mom, because I know her neck will be killing her when she wakes up.

I gently put my hand on her shoulder, "Hey, mom…"

She opens her eyes and stretches her neck. "Hey, is April gonna go to school with you today?"

"She says she has an English quiz, which I know she's not ready for. I told her she could stay home, but she told me she didn't want to…" I answer.

"Okay. Do you want something to eat?" she asks.

"I'll be fine, but April might…" I reply.

She stands up, glances at Rachel and we start walking into the kitchen. We stop when we see April sitting on the couch with a book in her lap.

Mom sits down next to her, "April, it'll be okay if you miss one day. Your teacher will let you make up the quiz…"

"I'm already up and dressed. There's no point and not going anywhere…" she sighs. Her hair looks the best It's looked in the past two weeks, even though it's in a side ponytail, all the pieces are in place and the curls are not tangled.

"Okay… do you want something to eat?" mom asks.

"Yeah…" April smiles back.

MRS. SCHUESTER'S POV

April's completely exhausted, but yet she still wants to go to school today. Will and I have both tried to get her to stay home. She's struggling to cram for a quiz, which is not going to do her any good. I'm about to ask her what she wants to eat when we're startled by a scream coming from Rachel's room.

April jumps up to go help Rachel, "Hey, I've got it under control. Just relax, she'll be okay…"

I rush into the bedroom to find Rachel sitting up in bed, crying. "Hey… Rachel, it's okay, shhh…" I slowly sit on the side of the bed next to her.

"I… I'm scared…" she whimpers.

I wrap my arm around her shoulder and she leans into me, still crying. "Honey, listen. There's nothing you need to be scared of, you're almost halfway across the country from him right now. I really want you to talk to me about what happened, you'll feel better if you do…"

Will slowly comes in the room, "Hey, April and I are leaving, I'll call around lunch time and see how things are going." he smiles at me and then at Rachel, who buries her head in my shoulder. It's going to be a long day. I nod and he leaves.

"Shhh, shhh, shhh, Rachel. You're okay, no one's going to hurt you. Just relax, shhh…" I slowly say to her. Her body is so tense right now, she's got to be uncomfortable. I start rubbing her back, and eventually she stops crying. She's sleeping again ten minutes later, hopefully she'll stay this way for a few hours, she really needs it.
