Mentions abuse, and the song Face Down by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. Let me know what you think.
She never should have said anything about Jesse to the police because it came back to bite her in the ass. She was the only home since she had worked her and Quinn's shift last night. Today was her day off. She was going to the kitchen when there was a knock at the door. She didn't think she just opened the door and someone hit her causing her to land on her back. She moaned and rolled over trying to get up when someone grabbed her hair pulling her head back, "So Slut you think I would let that shit go. Was that the guy you was sleeping with when we dated?" He didn't let her answer he slammed her head into the floor. He then stood up kicking the door closed. She pushed herself away from him and told him to leave. He stalked toward her grabbed her head, "I don't think so bitch. You don't deserve to be happy without me. I made you." He back handed her causing her to cry out, "You're just like your mother useless, a whore, and a drugie." It went on for almost an hour but to her it felt like an eternity. He left her bleeding on the floor. She had stayed conscious this time and once she couldn't hear his footsteps in the hall any more she crawled to her purse for her cellphone and called 911.
She doesn't remember them coming and she wasn't sure when she got to the hospital. She called Santana who was at the club with Brit and Quinn. San didn't sound happy when she picked up the phone, "Look if this is about dishes I'll kill you." "I wish this was about dishes. San I'm in the hospital." She held the phone away from her ear she knew what was coming, "WHAT? WHY?" "Calm down San. I just wanted to let you know. Go back to work." She didn't hear music anymore but she heard voices in the background, "No Berry tell me what room number and we'll be there." She sighed and told San the room number.
When they showed up the nurse was giving her some pain meds. She didn't notice them until she heard a gasp. She turned to look at the three girls, Puck, Artie, and Finn. San had her hand over her mouth and tears were falling down her face. She opened her arms and San climbed into the bed with her laying her head on Rae's chest. "What happened Rae?" She sighed as she watched the others come in either sitting in a chair or leaning against something. "Jesse showed up." The men cursed and the girls looked scared. "San I'll be fine stop crying." San shook her head, "No I can't Rae. I remember the last time we were here and I can't." She hugged the girl tighter, "I know." Everyone else looked confused so she explained, "It was before we were friends Britt, Q and it was the first time Jesse hit me. I was pregnant almost three months and when Jesse hit me I fell down some steps and miscarried. San and I spent days in bed just crying, eating, and sleeping." "That doesn't explain why San is so upset," Britt said. "San blames herself for not being there but it wasn't her fault. She wasn't the one who decided to pick a fight in a stair well."
San finally stopped crying, "So when are they releasing you?" She smiled at San, "In two days. Why did all of you guys show up?" Artie spoke first, "I was worried that something like this had happened but not from your ex." "You thought it was Jacob." He nodded. She looked at Finn next, "Hey you took care of my wounds. So I decided to come see if I could take care of yours." She smiled. She knew he was talking about when he got in fights and showed up after hours at the club. Puck was next and he glared at her, "So I knew whether or not I get to kill someone." She didn't say anything. She knew he handled things his own way and that was fine with her. She held San and sang Face Down. San set up pissed, "That's not cute Rae." She sighed, "I thought it would help." "Shut up." San glared at her as she laughed. Then Britt and Quinn started singing it and then Artie, Finn, and finally Puck. San glared at all of them and joined in.
"Feel better San?" "Yeah." "Good. Go home get some sleep somebody has to cover me." All the girls hugged her and left. Artie hugged her and kissed her cheek. Finn said, "If you need anything call me." She nodded and he left it was just her and Puck now. He sat in the chair beside the bed and picked up her hand, "How are you really feeling?" "Like somebody hit me with a bus." He smiled at her, "Yeah I know how that feels." He stood to leave, "Hey can you stay until I fall asleep? I'll pay you back." He nodded and sat back down. "So what did he say to you?" she frowned, "the usual stuff." Puck snorted, "I know you Rae. I've seen you back down a three hundred pound man. What did he say?" She looked down and started messing with the blankets, "He said I was just like my mother." Puck bushed the hair away from her face, "I don't know anything about your mother but I'll tell you this, you're beautiful, smart, witty, and strong. Don't let him drag you down Rachel." She nodded. Her eyes started drooping, "Hey Berry if you tell anyone I said that pussy stuff, me and you will have a problem." "I won't do that. Hey I think I hit my head to hard because I just got this weird thought." He raised an eyebrow, "What?" she looked up at him, "This reminds me of A Walk to Remember," Puck groaned. "You're Landon and I'm the not so good Jamie." He shook his head, "I think those pain meds are kicking in. Night Berry." Her eyes closed and she mumbled a goodnight. He leaned down and kissed her on her forehead. As he walked down the hall he thought, I'll kill that son of a bitch if it's the last thing I do.
