Author's Note: Wow, 83 reviews? Really? That's just insane! Haha. Any spelling mistakes(like the one in the last chapter, thanks to whoever pointed that out) are all mine and mine alone. Thank you tremors(shaking of the hands/body due to low blood sugar.) Well, I think that's all I needed to say. Oh and the reactions from the Glee members are breif. Now I'm only going over a few glee members, the ones that play major roles, well for the most part-minus Mercedes and Quinn because we've already seen their reactions. So yeah, enjoy.

Never in his life did Kurt Hummel feel bad for Rachel Barry, nor did he expect himself too-until he heard about the attack. He remembers that night vividly, he'd been lying in bed asleep when the phone on his desk started vibrating. With a few choice words and a stumble or two, he managed to grasp it in his hands, read it once, twice, three times and then process it and just like that, he felt his entire annoyance and semi-hatred for the young girl fly out the window. Now, all he wanted to do was rip apart the disgusting dirtbag who did this to her-and he planned too. Maybe not then and there, but eventually.

….

When Puck got the text message, he had been playing video games with Finn. Don't ask him how they managed to patch things up, because he honestly had no clue-but the moment his eyes read the words, the controller dropped from his right hand to the ground and his entire body went numb. Finn had kept asking what was wrong until he gently grasped the phone from his hands and read it for himself. He too, was pale as a ghost, outraged and shaking. He too, felt the same way Puck did-like the wanted to kill the bastard who did this to her, while at the same time, protect her from anything and everything else.

Santanna and Brittany had been cuddling(not that Santana Lopez would ever admit to cuddling up to well, anybody), in Sanatana's bed when her phone lit up on the end table. "Can you grab that for me B?" A rather zoned out Brittany nodded her head and slowly passed the phone to Santanna who thank her with a small peck on the lips before returning her eyes to the small screen. Her eyes went wide almost immediately causing Brittany to glance over her shoulder and read the text as well.

"Rachel was attacked?" Brittany whispers, gathering Santanna's attention almost immediately. A somber, yet shocked tone escapes Santanna who instantly curls Brittany tighter into her small frame.

"Yeah B, she was."

"By who?"

"I don't know, but once I find out-I'll kill him." She hisses angrily, causing Brittany to flinch. When Santanna takes notice, she swallows the unfamiliar lump forming in her throat and apologizes to Brittany who shrugs it off before the pair goes back to cuddling into each other, both grateful that it wasn't them that it had happened too.

Tina is with Artie at his house, working on homework when Tina pulls out her phone to check the time. However what she finds is nothing even remotely relevant to the time, instead-it's a text message that is about to give her and Artie the biggest shock of their lives.

"Artie," She croaks once she has read the message. "C'mere and read this."

"Christ." He mutters after he has finished reading the mass text that Quinn has sent out, informing them about what she had saw on the television. Tina turns to him, bottom lip trembling before she buries her head in his shoulder and cries softly.

Tina and Rachel may have not been particularly close, but she definitely did consider the diva a friend and seeing that text had just felt like a punch to the stomach-and to her, it was. To Artie, to Artie it was like reliving his car crash over again, except it was from a different perspective and unfortunately(ha, he definitely never thought he'd say that) this wasn't a car accident. To him, this was ten times worse.

When Quinn brings Rachel's sleepy form home from Glee practice that day and sets her carefully in her bed with the help of Rachel's fathers(she can't help but wonder why Shelby wasn't there yet), she lets a small sigh escape her. When her father's leave the room after a word of thanks, she takes her seat on the bed beside Rachel and lightly strokes her hair until the trembling from the brunette has ceased and she is once more breathing peacefully.

She doesn't mind having to stay until Rachel is asleep, or sometimes even after she is asleep because as strange as it would've been to admit it a few mere months ago, it's not strange to admit now-she enjoys the brunette's company whether she's silent(which is happening more often as of late) or chatting up a storm. She can't help it. There is something about the brunette that entices her, as horrible as that sounds, however at the same time, there is something about her that puts her on the edge of her seat, something that terrifies her to her core. She just wished she knew what that something was.

….

When Rachel awakes from her slumber, she finds herself in her bed with a sleeping blond beside her. A faint smile grazes her face as she brushes brunette curls out of her eyes. Sitting up slightly, she glances at the clock on the nightstand. Five fifteen. She'd been asleep since Glee had begun at around 3, only waking up to walk to Quinn's car once it had ended, yet she still feels as if she hasn't slept at all.

Quinn feels a slight movement and instantly stirs, her eyes taking a moment to adjust to the light once they've opened. She finds Rachel staring at her with a blank expression and Quinn fears for a moment that Rachel is having another panic attack, until she clears her throat the Rachel blinks-as if just noticing Quinn had woken up.

"How was your nap?" Quinn asks, she too, sitting up. Rachel chews on her lip for a moment, before frowning and Quinn knows what she means. It's Rachel's silent way of saying that she's exhausted and felt as if she hasn't slept in months, despite the fact she'd slept for well over a few hours.

Quinn frowns at this as well and motions to her stomach before speaking again. "Did you want anything to eat?" Rachel sighs softly and shakes her head, drawing her knees to her chest before motioning to her cell phone. Quinn grabs it off the end table, which sat beside her alarm clock, and watches as Rachel scrolls through the contacts-stopping at her mother's name.

"You want her to come over?" Quinn isn't quite sure when or how she's managed to read Rachel so well now, and in fact it kind of scares her, but when she sees Rachel nod her head, everything flies out the window until she's sending a quick text to Shelby from Rachel's phone saying that Rachel wants her there.

She waits a moment for a text back, but gets nothing and sighs under her breath. Handing the phone back to Rachel, she swallows the lump of fear in her throat and the knot in the pit of her stomach that is telling her something isn't right.

But then again, were things ever right?
