An hour later, Kurt was relaxing on the sofa, when someone smacked him round the head with a rolled up magazine. He let out a yelp of pain and shot to his feet.
'FINN! What the-' he cut himself off as he saw Rachel put the magazine back down on the table besides the sofa, chuckling as she did. Kurt let out a shriek of happiness and yanked Rachel into a hug, jumping up and down on the spot. Rachel giggled and gently pulled away from an over excited Kurt.
'Good to see you too, Kurt' Rachel said, cuddling back into Finn's side, who smiled and kissed the top of her head.
'I take it, that it was you upstairs? And that he's not cheating' Kurt said. Rachel chuckled.
'Trust me, if Finn was cheating... I wouldn't be here' said Rachel seriously. She shrieked happily when Finn scooped her up in his arms and sat her in his lap as he sat down in the chair.
'You know you're the only girl for me, baby' Finn told her, Rachel chuckled and kissed Finn gently on the lips. Kurt watched them, smiling at them. He could tell Rachel been back had put Finn in a good mood.
'You look so happy together. Is this the start of recovery?' Kurt asked Rachel, who pulled away from the kiss Finn had her gently trapped in.
'Yep. I'm going to try my hardest to be out of there by Nationals' said Rachel
'But what about Regionals?' Kurt asked. Rachel chuckled.
'I don't think I'll be out into for Regionals' Rachel said truthfully, making Kurt and Finn's mood deflate slightly. Rachel noticed. 'But I promise you both... I will be out in time for Nationals' she promised. Kurt nodded and headed into the kitchen to make a drink, leaving Finn and Rachel in their own little bubble...
When Rachel returned to the center, later that night, she was in a good mood and Summer noticed.
'Boyfriend?' she teased. Rachel giggled
'Maybe!' she said, as she headed into the lounge. She sat down on the big, comfy sofas and sighed. Just then, she heard a door open and she looked to see Hannah bring her bag out of her room.
'Where are you going?' Rachel asked, getting to her feet. Hannah smiled.
'I'm outta here!' Hannah said, a big smile on her face. Rachel couldn't help but feel slightly jealous at her friends admission. She quickly planted a fake smile on her face and hugged her.
'I'm proud of you!' she whispered in Hannah's ear. Hannah hugged her back and chuckled.
'Thankyou' she said, before she pulled away from the hug. After half an hour of saying goodbye and promising to keep in contact, Hannah walked through the doors with her parents to her freedom.
'It's going to be strange without H' said Ellie, her hands fiddling with the sleeves of her jumper. Rachel knew that was a sign of nerves.
'You okay, Elle?' she asked
'Yeah. I'm fine' she lied 'Just tired'. Rachel nodded in understanding and offered her a smile. Just then, Annie poked her head round the kitchen door frame.
'Come on, guys. Dinners ready' she said.
'Actually, Annie. Can I go and lay down? I'm not feeling too good' Ellie said. Rachel frowned.
'You okay?' she asked Ellie. Ellie smiled and nodded, before she headed to her room, not waiting for Annie to answer her question. Rachel frowned at the closed door, before she walked into the kitchen and sat down next Brad, her mind on Ellie's strange behavior...
Rachel was awakened that night by Summer's screams. She groaned and grabbed her phone, checking the time. She let out a groan of frustration and grabbed Finn's jumper, sliding it over her head.
'What the hell are you-' Rachel cut herself off, as she heard talking in Ellie's room. She went to walk in, when Zac grabbed her back.
'Don't go in there' he said, his grip tightening around her. Rachel was about to question him when Annie ushered them away from the room. Rachel tried to look over Zac's shoulder, but he kept a firm grip on her shoulder and ushered her towards one of the sofas.
'What the hell is going on?' Rachel gasped. No one spoke for a minute, all of them trying to comprehend the nights events. It was a few minutes before Ellie's bedroom door opened again and Rachel saw a body bag being rolled out on a trolley.
'OH MY GOD!' she screamed, her hands going straight to her mouth to stop herself throwing up. Brad rushed over to her and rubbed her back. Annie rushed out of the lounge, shutting the door behind her, so the others didn't see...
Nobody went back to sleep after the events what had unfolded. They were all in their respective rooms, each wanting to be alone with their thoughts. Summer was distraught. Ellie was the first person she had made friends with when she first entered treatment. She can remember that day ike it was yesterday.
Flashback
Summer Rivers entered Maumee Treatment with tears streaming down her face, her parents trying desperately to stay strong for their teenager daughter.
'Just take me home. I promise it won't happen again!' Summer cried
'Summer, we can't trust you anymore darling! If you complete this treatment, we can start to build that trust back up' replied her mom. Summer tuned out. She didn't want to be stuck in this prison. She wanted to be out there, with her friends, growing up and enjoying life, not stuck in a treatment center, cut off from her friends and family. Summer was jostled out of her thoughts, when Annie lightly shook her arms.
'Come on, darling. Let get you settled' she said. Summer blinked and noticed her parents were nowhere to be seen. She sniffled and picked up her suitcase, keeping her head low, not wanting everyone to stare at her and judge her. She was shown her room and was left to settle in. Summer didn't know how long she had sat on her bed and stared at the wall for, but when she looked out of her window, she saw that night had fallen. A knock at the door made her jump. She slowly got and cracked it open, seeing a long, blonde haired, blue eyed girl standing on the other side of her door.
'Hi... I'm Ellie' she introduced herself, holding her hand out. Summer stared at it for a moment, before opening her door and shaking it.
'Summer' she said. Ellie smiled.
'Its okay. I won't judge you. We're all in here for the same thing. Come and meet my friends... Unless you would like to freshen up, which by all means is fine' Ellie quickly said.
'Can I meet your friends first?' Summer asked, her voice small. Ellie smiled and nodded, watching as Summer took a deep breath and stepped from her room
End of Flashback
Summer wiped away her tears and climbed off her bed, opening her door and heading to Rachel's room. She knocked on the door, but got no answer. She knocked again, before opening the door. She stepped into the room and frowned. The room was empty.
'RACHEL?' she shouted, panic in her voice. She rushed over to the open window, looking out, before rushing out of the room and down to the lounge, throwing the door open.
'RACHEL'S GONE!' she screamed, the room falling silent, before panic erupted...
