This starts off with Rachel at the hospital.
The doctor walked into the waiting room where Finn, Shelby and Rachel's Dad's were sitting.
"You can go in now, but preferably only one at a time. She's still asleep from all the morphine. Just be very careful. She's got severe damage to her ribs and right leg and also severe bruising.
"She will survive though, wont she?" Finn questioned the doctor.
"She could go into cardiac arrest any minute. Were doing everything we can to prevent that but that doesn't mean she won't." The doctor replied.
Finn was the first to go in. He stood next to Rachel's bed.
"This is all my fault. I can't believe I let you walk home alone. I should have went with you. This is all my fault."
Suddenly Rachel's eyes opened a tiny bit.
"it's not your fault." She croaked. And suddenly the heart monitor started to go off. Rachel's eyes shut again and she just laid there. The nurse that was sitting in the room jumped off her chair and started to panic. Finn could tell she hadn't a clue what she was doing.
"Go get a doctor or someone!" Finn yelled at the nurse. She just nodded her head and ran outside. Finn realised that the doctor would be too slow so he started doing CPR on her, while also being careful not to crush her already broken ribs. Seconds later her doctor and a couple of nurses ran in and Finn jumped out of the way. One of the nurses ushered him out of the room. As soon as he was out Shelby and Rachel's dad's ran over to him.
"What happened?" Shelby asked, "Is she okay?"
Finn didn't say a word. He just looked at Shelby, then walked towards the chairs. He sat down and the thought that his best friend was in that room, dying, was too much for him. He burst out in tears and laid on the seat. Shelby walked over and hugged him. They sat there, Finn in Shelby's arms, aware that their lives could suddenly change forever.
Suddenly the doctor walked out of her Rachel's room.
"She's not the best, but she's alive. And this time we know for sure she's going to stay that way."
"Oh thank god. That's great news." Shelby gasped.
"She may have a few more broken ribs though from the CPR we had to perform. But that only means a little longer recovery time."
"Can we go in and see her?" Finn asked.
"Okay. But one at a time. And just remember, she probably won't wake up while you're in there." The doctor warned.
"That's fine." Finn assured him.
"I Think I should go in this time." Shelby said.
"Yeah I think that's a good idea." Finn replied. Shelby walked into Rachel's ward. She walked to her side and sighed.
"My poor baby." Shelby whispered. "Who did this to you? I don't know why the y would want to do such a thing .Your such a beautiful little girl. Even if your nose is half the size of your face."
Rachel just laid there, not moving. It broke Shelby's heart that someone could do such a heartless thing. She pulled over a chair and sat next to Rachel's bed.
-2 hours later-
Shelby jerked awake from a sound "Hi bub, how you feeling?"
Rachel murmured, "What happened?"
"You heart went into cardiac arrest. Scared the hell out of us all."
Rachel let out a little laugh. "Sorry about that."
"So, do you think you're strong enough to explain what happened?"
"mm, I don't think I can." Rachel replied. She remembered what Quinn had said...
"...if a word of this goes to anyone, I wouldn't leave the house if I were you." Rachel cringed at the thought.
"Is something wrong?" Shelby asked Rachel.
"No, I'm fine." Rachel quickly replied. Shelby knew there was something but Rachel was slowly going back to sleep.
"I'm going out now. I'll let you rest."
"Thanks mum. I love you." Rachel replied.
"I love you too." Shelby left the room. She couldn't stop thinking that there was something Rachel wasn't telling her. She decided not to tell anyone she thought something else was going on. She knew she needed to find out, and soon.
