Thank you so much for the feedback! I know I'm a little too excited, but it's my first story and I got like three reviews, so I'm pretty damn happy and people added me to their alert list(: So thank you everyone!
Rachel wakes up and repeats the same thing every morning and she's off to school. Her broken wrist bothers her but her sweater gives off the appearance that nothing is wrong, while her makeup covers more bruises received. She hopes she can make it through the day unnoticed. She just wants to be invisible.
Today, she's only met with one slushy from Karofsky in the morning, quite a lot of stares, and a slushy from Azimio before lunch. Everyone continues to stare at her, not offering to help her up. She doesn't know why everyone is staring at her like that, but it makes her pretty uncomfortable. While she's heading to the bathroom to clean herself off, she's stopped by Quinn.
"What the hell do you think you're doing, Manhands?" Quinn sneers. Rachel's kind of shocked; she hasn't done anything to Quinn or her precious Finn. Come to think of it, she hasn't been bothering anyone at all. They have no reason to be mad at her. She goes through the halls lifelessly with her head down.
"I can assure you I have no idea what you are insinuating," Rachel replies.
"Oh you know exactly what you're doing. Stay away from my boyfriend, Rupaul, got it?" And with that Quinn walks away, but not before "accidently" shoving Rachel to the ground. She doesn't know what just happened considering she hasn't liked Finn since the beginning of sophomore year and it's already junior year. Why would she even want Finn? He barely gave her the time of day, even when they were dating for those two short months. He treated her terribly and was ashamed to be seen in public with her. Who would want that in a guy? But now he's with the Ice Queen yet again. Shouldn't people learn from their mistakes the first time? Apparently not. With that, she walks to her next class.
It's time for Glee yet again. She continues slowly walking until she reaches the door to the choir room. Rachel hesitates, but opens the door regardless.
"Here comes the slut! I'm shocked you came today, I mean after what we saw on Jewfro's blog," Mercedes says while smirking. All Rachel wants to do is punch that look off her face. She doesn't even know what they're talking about but there's the whole Glee Club sat around Mercedes' phone. Some are glaring at her, while others look more shocked.
She takes the phone and starts to read.
This just in, Rachel Berry was caught in another one of her pathetic ploys to win star quarterback, Finn Hudson's, heart yet again! And when, may you ask, did this happen? Well, as I was on my way out of the school, I heard the angelic voice of one Miss Rachel Berry. I stopped to go in and there I saw her practically begging Finn to leave resident HBIC Quinn Fabray for her! He was clearly rejecting her, but she wouldn't seem to give up. Could she really be any more of a desperate whore? Probably. If she goes after anyone's boyfriend, no one gets in this bitch's way! Be aware!
And there at the bottom was a picture of her and Finn talking, but it looked so much worse than it was. She looked like some sort of harlot desperately asking him to be her boyfriend. She couldn't believe her eyes. They really thought she wanted Finn back and would seek to such desperate measures just for him. Ha, as if! Anyway, she was just trying to be a good person helping Finn practice his scales. Afterward, they just talked and all she did was ask if he thought Quinn truly deserved the solo. Being the loyal boyfriend he is, Finn decided Quinn deserved that solo. Though, she clearly did not.
"This isn't what it looks like! I was just helping Finn with his scales!" Rachel tried to tell her teammates, but they just wouldn't listen. They looked at her with disgust.
"Yeah right. We all know how fucking desperately you wanna get with him. It's sad, really, that you would try to steal him away from me. It's cruel, actually. Well newsflash! Finn will never want you! You're just some worthless tranny with a pathetic obsession with him. Why would he want you when he can have me?" Quinn sneers at her, while towering over the small girl. Rachel cowers in fear from her harsh words.
"I don't like Finn anymore; I haven't for a pretty long time Quinn," Rachel says in a quiet voice.
"You expect me to believe that shit! I actually thought you were smarter than that, Rupaul!" With that, Quinn shoves Rachel and sends her flying into a row of chairs. Rachel falls on her wrist and screams out in pain. She struggles to get up but when she does, she runs out of the room crying out in pain. Quinn smirks and goes to sit down with Mercedes, Kurt, and Tina following suit, each giving their approval. Santana and Brittany look torn on what to do, while Finn looks away guiltily. Mike looks at his girlfriend disapprovingly. Artie, Puck, and Matt glare at the vindictive blonde.
Rachel quickly makes her way out of there. She can't take any more of their abuse. She runs into the auditorium and onto the stage, crying. She starts to sing.
Maybe no one told you there is strength in your tears
And so you fight to keep from pouring out
But what if you unlock the gate that keeps your secret soul
Do you think that there's enough you might drown
If No One Will Listen, if you decide to speak
If no one is left standing after the bombs explode
If no one wants to look at you for what you really are
I will be here still
No one can take you where you alone must go
There's no telling what you will find there
And God, I know the fear that eats away at your bones
It's screaming every step, "just stay here"
If no one will listen, if you decide to speak
If no one is left standing after the bombs explode
If no one wants to look at you for what you really are
I will be here still
If you find your fists are raw and red
From beating yourself down
If your legs have given out under the weight
If you find you've been settling for a world of gray
So you wouldn't have to face down your own hate
If no one will listen, if you decide to speak
If no one is left standing after the bombs explode
If no one wants to look at you for what you really are
I will be here still
As she finishes the song, tears are streaming down her face. She's unaware of the pair of hazel eyes watching her as she sobs. That is until said person stands up and walks towards her. The person notices the bruises forming around her wrist that she tries to hide. Sitting alone on a piano bench is Rachel Berry, finally breaking. The person watches for a few more minutes until the sobs are quieted and asks:
"Rachel, what the hell happened to you?"
A/N: Yeah, I'm terrible. The song used is "If No One Will Listen" by Kelly Clarkson. SO what is your guess on the person who finally confronts Rachel?
