Disclaimer: I don't own GLEE or its characters though I wish I did.

Author's Note: Last update of the night (triple)! Please let me know if you want me to create suspense with one upate a night or speed it up because I have a lot of pre-typed chapters. This won't happen when school starts up again...you'll be lucky to even get updates! So tell me if I should slow down or speed up! For now, Merry Christmas and enjoy this chapter!

She lays on her bed that night, an ice pack pressed to her swelling eye as she listens to her dads argue about taking action on Santana punching her. Leroy, her big, dark-skinned father, wants to call Figgins and get Santana expelled whereas her other dad Hiram tries to keep him in perspective. They asked her what she wanted to which she replied: "It's not like anyone's going to do anything about it...she practically runs that school."

Which was the truth. Figgins wouldn't do anything. No one would care. She would be more likely to be expelled than Santana.

The playing of 'Defying Gravity' slices through the quiet as she rolls over, grabbing her cell phone, already knowing who it is. "Hey Kurt" she says with a sigh, rolling over onto her back.

"Wow, you're psychic" her friend says sarcastically. She smiles slightly. She misses Kurt so much but she's happy he's loving it at Dalton.

"I know...so how are you?"

"Good, good" he answers idly. "Missing my divas at McKinley."

"They miss you, too" she laughs lightly. "How's Blaine?"

"Fantastic" he replies dreamily.

"Any progress?"

"We're hanging out more which is amazing but other than that..." He sighs. "Not direct progress."

"Keep hanging on" she advises. "He's a keeper."

Kurt chuckles and she finds herself missing him more. "So...how's McKinley?"

"Same old, same old" she lies. "Being hated. Nothing out of the ordinary."

"Really...well then how come my stepbrother is hiding in his room playing Journey's greatest hits?"

She freezes, closing her eyes and wincing. Damn Finn.

"He isn't responding to my pressing, either" Kurt continues. "I need to know what's going on!"

"Nothing" she fibs quickly. "Or...I'm not aware. I-"

"Liar."

She sighs. Kurt knows her too well. "Fine...I'll tell you. But you have to promise me something."

"Okay...?"

"Don't go to kill Finn afterwards."

"Uh-oh."

"Promise me, Kurt" she demands seriously.

"I-I...promise I won't go to kill Finn afterward."

"Good enough." She exhales loudly. "You're not going to believe what happened."

"Tell me!"

"Okay" she begins. "So ever since your stepbrother dumped me, he's been banning the Glee Club against me. He's dating Santana and now everyone hates me more than before. Today was particularly awful. At lunch I was sitting alone as usual and then Santana threw a piece of bread at me. Finn just laughed. But then Artie came and sat with me which was really nice-"

"Aw...I've always liked Artie."

"I know...he's just a genuinely good guy. So then at Glee I was sitting alone -again- but then Artie came and sat with me -again- which was really nice of him. But I felt bad because the whole club was glaring at us and I don't want to put Artie in that position. Anyways, then Mr. Schue came in and was ready to start up the lesson but guess who volunteered to sing."

There's a silence before Kurt gasps. "He didn't..."

"He did" she says sadly, feeling her chest tighten at the memory. "And guess what he sang."

"Oh...something bad" Kurt murmurs sympathetically. "I can't guess."

"'Yule shoot your eye out' by Fallout Boy."

Her friend inhales sharply again. "Oh, my Gosh" he hisses. "What a-"

"That's not all" she continues. "He brought Santana up with him and the whole Glee Club besides Artie to humiliate me."

"I'm going to kill him-"

"You promised you wouldn't" she exclaims. Kurt huffs. "Then after, Mr. Schue just laughed and praised him and then asked what his inspiration was. Stupid Santana cuts in and starts calling me a dwarf and then says that no one loves me then Artie snaps at her. He told her to shut up and that no one cares what she says. Then..." She pauses for dramatic effect. "She stormed out."

Kurt laughs loudly. "No way!"

"She did" she says in amusement. "Everyone was shocked. Then Mr. Schue dismissed us but Finn hovered. I thanked Artie before he left and then Mr. Schue, before Finn could corner me, stopped me and said he needed to talk to me. Finn left but he was still in the hall. Mr. Schue starts going off about how I' not acting like myself and then I told him that I didn't want to put myself out there because all I do is get bashed."

"Good for you."

"Then I went to leave and he asked me if I was quitting and I said I'd keep him posted-"

"-Nice!-"

"-Then I left and I saw Finn hiding but more importantly I saw Santana and she told me we needed to talk. She said to tell Artie to put a sock in it and then she started going off about how I'm a dwarf and how no one could ever love me and a lot of stuff about Finn being done with me. I was angry but then she sad something like 'and now he's screaming my name' and I snapped. I told her she was a bitch and that she didn't hate everything she just hated herself and I said that she needed serious help and she tackled me."

Kurt gasps sharply. "No-"

"-And then she punched me in the eye-"

"-That bitch!-"

"-And then my nose and it started bleeding. Mr. Schue and Finn finally ripped her off of me and she was freaking out. I told her that she should be in a mental hospital and she said she wanted to strangle me so I told her she could have everything: Glee Club and Finn but that wouldn't make her empty life and fuller. He just stood there so I left and now I'm sitting here with a black eye."

"That's like something off a soap opera" Kurt exclaims. "How are you feeling after all that?"

She sighs. "Not any better than I did before. I thought it would make me feel better but it just...didn't. I finally told her what a horrible person she is but nothing changed. And Finn proved to me that he's incapable of being consistent. I can't believe he sang that song...he absolutely mortified me. As if he didn't know how sorry I was and how much I love and miss him-"

"Hold on a sec" Kurt says quickly. "Finn, where are you going?" Her breath hitches as she listens intently, hearing a door slam. "What? What are you doing? Finn! Come back!" There's a muffled sound as Kurt gets up and calls after Finn again. She holds her breath, biting her lip again. "Sorry, Rachel...Finn just got up and left. I have no clue where he's going but he took Carole's car. I-wait. Hold on another second."

She hears Kurt get up and she sits frozen, listening to the silence on the other end. What's going on? Where'd Finn go? Where'd Kurt go?

She hears Kurt's distinctive growl as he picks up the phone again. "That jerk!"

"What's going on?" she questions breathlessly. "Tell me!"

"Finn was listening to our conversation" he says angrily. "I found our other phone connected. He was eavesdropping that mother-fu-"

"Are you sure?" she asks desperately.

"Positive."

Kurt continues to rant but she zones out. Finn heard everything she said. Finn heard everything she said. Finn heard everything she said.

Yikes.

"Where'd he go?" she demands, cutting him off. "You said he left! Where's he going?"

"I don't know..."

"Find out!"

"Okay, okay" he says. "I have to go, my dad's home. I'll let you know if I hear anything."

The line goes dead as she stays frozen like a statue as if waiting for Kurt to come back. But he doesn't and she finally puts her phone down, processing everything.

This is not good.

AN#2: WHERE'D FINN GO? Haha stay tuned!
