Here's chapter 11! I hope you like it, I made it extra long -a makeup for chapter 10-
Disclaimer; I do not own glee. I'm sad.

The morning sun shone through the white hospital curtains in Jesse's room, the rays of light landing on his face, causing him to wake up. As Jesse opened his eyes lightly and lay himself more comfortable now he was awake, he soon noticed he wasn't the only one laying in the small bed.

Next to him lay a girl. A dirty girl with dried up mud on her face was sleeping in his arms. It was the girl he loved the most in the entire world, oh, hell, maybe even the person he loved the most. She was everything to him, only she didn't know.

He put his other arm around her too, making sure that when he fell asleep again, he would wake up if she tried to get away, 'cause he wasn't letting her go this time. Well, it wasn't exactly like he already had her, but still. Jesse was determined to keep her safe, with or without him, if she wanted him to look out for her or not. And from the moment he came out of the hospital, he was going to go straight up to Finn, and kick the guys ass.

He got pulled out of his thoughts by Rachel's soft wakeup-moan. He would recognize it everywhere: the soft sound of Rachel waking up. He had heard it a lot when they were still dating, her parents apparently trusted him enough to let him sleep in the same bed, even if he was known as a gigantic player in the area.

He wondered for a second if they let Finn sleep in her bed too, but soon shook that thought out of his mind: he didn't like the image of Hudson next to her, his big fat arms wrapped around her.

"Rachel?" He whispered in her ear.

"Hmm?" She mumbled, slowly opening her eyes until they were fully open and staring into those of Jesse. His beautiful ice-blue eyes she loved so much.

"Good morning! You alright from yesterday?"

"Good morning, and yeah, I don't know…"

"Good morning!" Martha cheerfully exclaimed as she entered his room. "Slept w- Oh… I see you have a visitor…" she playfully and curiously noticed, putting her hand on her waist and sneakily smiling to Rachel and Jesse, who were still laying in the bed, their eyes locked on her.

Jesse had a soft grin on his face only Martha would see and Rachel just had a friendly smile on hers.

"She uhm…"

"It's okay curly, just share your breakfast, I know the portions here are way too large." She smiled and walked out the room.

"You sure you're okay right? Does it hurt somewhere? Did he hurt you?"

"No, it's fine, but I have to get this mud off, I probably look horrible…"

"You look perfect Rachel." Jesse assured her as he handed her a croissant.

Rachel smiled in response and took it. She was still a bit upside down from yesterday, she never expected Finn to try something like that. "Jesse?"

"Yeah?"

"Thank you."

"Rachel,.." Jesse sighted, ready to give her a speech about how she could come to him any time she wanted, or call him any time she needed him, but she cut him off.

"I know you're about to say it's nothing, but it is actually, you could as well kicked me out, but you didn't. And I'm grateful for that."

"Well.. Yeah, I was about to say that…" Maybe he didn't have to rush it, certainly not after Finn's actions of last night.

As Martha hummed the Friends' theme and walked through the hallway 15 minutes later, when she was done with her round.

She couldn't help but smile: her hospital buddy finally made some moves towards the Rachel girl, though she couldn't help but ask herself why her face was all muddy.

She decided to go get her some cleaning papers and went around the corner where she bumped into a pretty big black girl, dressed in a pink tshirt with black stripes and a matching pants, accompanied by a guy who was fashionably dressed in a black and white D&G jacket.

Stylish, she thought.

Mercedes and Kurt finally reached Jesse's room as Kurt softly knocked on the door and they entered the room. They both stood still as they found Jesse wasn't alone, he was with the reason they were here.

Last night, when everybody of the Glee club had to go home, Kurt and Mercedes noticed Rachel really was gone for a long time already, so they started looking for her. Instead, they found Finn sitting with his back against a fair booth, covering his face with his hands.

-Flashback-

"Finn?" Kurt asked, "What are you doing here?"

The boy looked up at the two friends, a mix of anger and sadness flushed on his face. "I couldn't help myself…?

"From what exactly?"

"It's just…"

"Finn, tell us." Mercedes warned him.

"I tried to.. to rape Rachel, I.. I couldn't help myself! It's just that with Jesse back in town… I hate the guy so much, and I'm not stupid, I know Rachel is in contact with him again, I want him to see he's not getting her back…"

"Why?" Kurt asked.

"Because I hate the guy, and it'll crush him to see me with Rachel… I want her back, she strikes my ego…"

"Where is she? Tell us where she is Finn." Mercedes demanded, but all she got was a shrug.

-End Flashback-

"Kurt? Mercedes? What are you doing here?" Rachel asked quizzed as she turned her head backwards and found her two best friends standing in the doorway. She sat on the bed, her back against the end of it, her knees pulled up to her chest.

"We came looking for you!" Kurt exclaimed.

"We know what Finn did sweetie.." Mercedes almost whispered and came up to her and giving her a twisted hug.

"Are you okay?" Kurt asked, who was standing behind Mercedes. Rachel nodded and Mercedes turned to Jesse.

"Hey, thanks Jesse." She said to him.

"Yeah," Kurt beamed.

"Hey girl, I brought you some cleaning papers for your face!" Martha said as she entered the room and stopped abruptly. "Oh, more people! Well, Jesse kid, one thing is sure, you're popular!"

"Hi again, Martha." Jesse greeted her. Martha walked up to the bed and handed Rachel the papers.

"I'll leave you guys alone now." She smiled and stepped into the hallway for the second time in a half an hour.

"I'm glad you're okay Rachel," Kurt said, "Finn's an asshole."

"Yeah…" Rachel whispered as her head lightly dropped. Jesse's heart broke at the sight of her, so vulnerable but cute.

"Look uhm.. We have to go, I promised my mom we'd stop by the shop before we went shopping…"

"Yeah, it's okay." Rachel replied smiling and after some hugging and kissing Kurt and Mercedes left and Jesse and Rachel were left alone again.

Rachel took a cleaning paper and started whipping of the mud, but she didn't have a mirror, causing her to ironically only clean the clean parts of her face.

Jesse slowly crawled up to her, she was still totally oblivious cleaning her face as he lay a hand on hers and took the paper out.

Softly he started cleaning her beautiful face and he couldn't help but let his eyes wander over to her lips, her soft, pink lips that he wanted to kiss so badly.

This would be an excellent chance but he decided to let it pass: after everything that happened yesterday, he didn't want to make it more complicated, plus he could easily see she pretended to be okay, but inside she was thorn.

"All done." He whispered when he was finished and stood up to throw the papers away.

"Thank you." He heard her mumble and when he turned around he found she had moved from the end of the bed to the head of the bed: she was now laying with her head on the pillow and he could see there were tears involved.

"Hey, baby, you okay?" He asked worriedly as he crawled next to her and laid her head on his chest, feeling the silent sobs. He liked to call her baby, even if she wasn't his girlfriend and he didn't care if it was weird or not.

"Shhh… It'll be alright…" he soothed her, gently striking her hair.

"Yeah… I don't know why I'm even crying…" She mumbled.

"It doesn't matter." He whispered. "It doesn't matter."

This was it! Reviews? Pleaaaase?

Love, Hach.
