January 2010
Rachel sighed as she ate her lunch, on her own. She was in the school cafeteria, sitting at an empty table next to the window. She watched as the snow outside slowly started to melt away. Rachel heard voices behind her. She turned around to see Quinn and Santana. She quickly turned away and continued to eat her lunch. She could hear them talking.
"Are you feeling any better, Quinn?"
"Yeah a little." Quinn moaned.
"I think your coming down with the flu or something?" Said Santana.
"No. I think it's called being pregnant." Quinn said back.
Santana laughed to herself. "Whatever. Just drink your tea. So have you decided what your going to do with it?"
"Yeah I'm giving it up for adoption." Said Quinn.
"Really?" Asked Santana.
Quinn nodded. "Yeah. I'm too young to look after a baby."
Santana nodded. "Yeah that's true. Your only 16."
"I turn 17 a week before the baby's due date." Said Quinn.
"Really?"
Quinn nodded. "Yeah. The baby is due April 13th and I turn 17 on April 6th."
"Nice. Imagine if you had the baby on the day of your birthday." Laughed Santana.
"Santana shut up." Moaned Quinn. "I don't want to spend my birthday in hospital."
"Are you gonna find out if it's a boy or girl?" Asked Santana.
Quinn sighed. "I don't know yet. I was thinking about asking at my next scan but I think I'll wait until it's born."
"Oh. Well we better go to cheerleading practice." Said Santana.
"Ugh. Cheerleading is not fun now that I can't do anything." Quinn said as she stood up.
"Don't worry. Once the baby is born you can come back." Said Santana.
Quinn rolled her eyes. "Cheerleading ends in May. I'll give birth and will be recovering in April. By the look of it I won't be cheerleading until September."
"Sorry." Santana said. "Just trying to make you feel better."
As Santana and Quinn walked past Rachel, Quinn took the spoon out of her tea and pressed it against Rachel's arm. Rachel gasped as she felt the burning hot metal spoon come in contact with her skin.
"Just stay the hell away from me." Rachel said raising her voice.
Santana hit Rachel over the back of her head. "Watch it Berry."
Rachel watched as Quinn and Santana walked away.
It was the 18th of January. Rachel had only started back in school a week ago. Rachel had nearly 4 weeks away from the bullying. She had celebrated her 16th Birthday on the 18th of December. Then she had an amazing Christmas and New Year with her dads. She was going to tell her dads about the bullying many times over the Christmas break. Everytime she was going to tell them she remembered Santana's threat. "She's knows that if she tell's anyone this will only get worse." Also she didn't want to ruin Christmas for her dads by telling them that the cheerleaders were hurting her. Rachel promised herself that she would enjoy her birthday, Christmas and New Years without thinking of the bullying. Once New Years was over she promised to tell her dads everything. Sadly 2010 wasn't going great for Rachel. Just before her birthday her dads were arguing. It stopped over the holidays, so Rachel didn't take any notice. Five days after New Years the arguing started again. Only this time it was worse. It was like every little thing started a fight between Rachel's dads. This made Rachel to afraid to tell her dads anything.
When Rachel arrived home that evening the first thing she heard was her to dads shouting at eachother. Rachel stood there and listened for a moment.
"Don't you walk away from me Hiram Berry!" Leroy shouted.
"Don't you dare even think of telling me what to do!" Hiram shouted back. "You have no right to tell me what to do. Your never even home anyway."
"Maybe that's because I work late just incase you forgot that we have a daughter. I'm bringing home money to feed her and buy her clothes!" Leroy shouted even louder. "That's more then you do."
Rachel slammed the front door. Her dads didn't even notice that loud noise.
"If you hate working like this then why don't you just leave?" Hiram said. Rachel's eyes widened when she heard him say that.
"Cause I love our daughter and she needs her dads." Leroy said back.
Rachel's eyes filled with tears. She ran into her bedroom and slammed the door shut. She threw her bag into the corner. She lay down on her bed and started crying. She could still hear her dads fighting.
"Now look what you've done!" Leroy shouted.
"I didn't do anything!" Hiram screamed.
Listening to her dads like this really scared Rachel.
"I'm leaving!" Hiram shouted before Rachel heard the front door slam.
Rachel started crying hysterically. She heard footsteps coming towards her room. She didn't care if her dads seen her like this. She heard her bedroom door open. Rachel just continued crying.
"Rachel?" Leroy said.
"Go away!" Sobbed Rachel. "Leave me alone!"
Leroy sat down on the bed beside Rachel. "How much did you hear?"
"Most of it." Rachel said, crying even harder.
"Oh Rach." Leroy sighed as he lifted the crying girl up and held her close. He rocked her back and forth and rubbed circles on her back to calm her down.
"I'm so sorry you had to hear that Rach." Leroy said. "I'm sorry we made you cry. You know I hate seeing you upset."
"I'm scared, daddy." Rachel said as she started to calm down. "Is dad coming back?"
"Yeah he is." Leroy said. "He just needs some time to cool down."
"I hate it when you fight." Rachel said as tears continued falling from her eyes.
"I know baby. I hate it too." Leroy sighed. "Everything is going to be okay. I promise."
"I love you daddy." Rachel said as she hugged him. "Promise you won't leave?"
"I promise." Leroy said back.
Leroy lay Rachel down on the bed and kissed her forehead. "I'm gonna get dinner ready. I'll call you in a few minutes."
Rachel nodded. "Okay."
"Love you Princess." Leroy said as he left the room.
"Love you too." Rachel said back.
Rachel pulled a blanket over herself and lay down as she wiped the last of her tears away. She looked at her arm where there was a mark from when Quinn burned her. Rachel felt like she had no one. Her home was the only place she felt safe. When she was at school she was getting hit and teased by the cheerleaders. Now when she was at home she had to listen to her dads fighting. Rachel had no where to go so she could escape the pain. She couldn't get away from the fear. She was afraid to go to school because she had no idea what the cheerleaders would do to her. She was afraid to tell her dads since they were fighting a lot. Rachel started to fall asleep. She closed her eyes and prayed that things would get better.
