The next morning Lena pulled up to the Grey residence and parked in front. She got there about half an hour before they were supposed to be in school. She texted Rachel and told her she was outside. Rachel ran down stairs and open the door and puled Lena in to a hug.

"You know it's still weird that your actually here." Rachel said.

"I know I was going to go back for you… I just had to save up the money to get you away from him. I shouldn't have left you there and I am so sorry Mouse I-." Lena said but was interrupted by Rachel.

"It was not your fault. It wasn't okay. I know you always blamed yourself because I told not to tell but it wasn't. We kept each other's secret because we were scared and I don't blame you for that okay?"

"I shou-." But once again she was cut off but by Meredith this time. Meredith walked into the living room looking for Rachel.

"Rac- Oh hi Lena."

"Hey aunt Mer." Lena said getting up to give her a hug.

"Aunt Mer?" Rachel murmured under her breath.

"There's oatmeal in the kitchen and fruit." She said as Lexie and Derek made their way to the kitchen. Rachel hopped on Lena's back and pointed to the kitchen.

"To the kitchen fast." Rachel said laughing along with Lena.

"As you wish your majesty." Lena said as she ran towards the kitchen with Meredith smiling behind them.

-SCHOOL-

Rachel was walking to her locker with Tina and Lena by her side when Finn approached her. He walked up to Rachel with his usual goofy smile.

"Hi Rachel."

"Hi…" Rachel said giving the tall boy in front of him a confused look.

"Finn remember from glee?"

"Oh right hi Finn."

"I was wondering if you wanted to do something after school one day maybe help me with my singing cause your so good at it."

"I would like to Finn but I can't sorry." She said hoping that he would just walk away, leave her alone, and know that she wasn't interested at all.

"But-"

"She said she wasn't interested Finnessa so walk away." Hearing Santana's voice Finn paled and walked away. Rachel laughed as she watched Finn run away.

"Thank you Santana, you didn't have to do that." Rachel said giving Santana a small shy smile.

"Don't mention it, little goose." Santana said as she gave a small wave and walked away. Lena and Tina watched the interaction between the two and looked on quite amused. When Santana was gone they both started to laugh.

"She so likes you!" Tina said, as Rachel turned red.

"There is no way someone like Santana like someone like me."

"Rae."

"Changing the subject now. Besides Finn keeps staring at me and its kind of creepy." Rachel said looking over at Finn with a slightly uncomfortable look on her face.

"Uh-Oh the overgrown man child has set his eyes on you." Tina said making Rachel and Lena laugh as Lena threw her arm over Tina's shoulder. Rachel raised her eyebrow discreetly at Lena but said nothing.

"Overgrown what?" Rachel asked.

"Finn is a clumsy, overgrown, child, who kicks chairs when he's upset. He's totally crushing on you and he's not going to give up for a while. It's a good thing Santana's crushing on you. She won't let him get to close to you… Little goose." Tina said laughing along with Lena, as Rachel blushed even harder.

"Its not funny guys." Rachel said giving a faux pout.

"Yeah it is just a little." Tina said. Rachel grabbed her books and what not from her lockers and the girls went to their respective classes with promises to meet up for lunch. Rachel was happy for her first class because she shared it with Santana. She sat down next to Santana and gave her a small smile.

"Gracias por esta mañana." Rachel whispered to Santana as Mr. Schue started his lesson.

"¿Usted habla español?"

"Aprendí sí cuando era más joven"

"Muy agradable, hizo tan el I." Santana said grinning at Rachel.

The rest of the class was filled with Rachel and Santana going back and fort in Spanish while avoiding Mr. Schuester's questions.

The rest of the day Rachel laid back and kept her guard up observing everybody and what happens around her. She wanted to make sure she knew exactly whom to stay away from and if she needed to get away any rooms she could duck into. She knew that the auditorium was pretty much empty all the time and there were two janitors' closets that where empty and that nobody used. After her scouting she met up with Tina and Lena at her locker. They got what they needed and went to lunch. Tina and Lena took Rachel to sit with them and the glee kids. As soon as Rachel sat down Finn squeezed in right next to her. She groaned and rolled her eyes as Tina and Lena snickered.

"Move Finnessa before I move you myself." Santana said. Rachel exhaled and smiled. She was never so happy to hear Santana's voice. Finn grumbled but scooted over next to Puck.

Rachel mouthed a thank you to Santana as Brittany and Quinn sat down forcing Finn even farther away from Rachel. Lena laughed and punched Rachel softly in the arm. Rachel stuck her tongue out at her and Lena plucked it. Rachel glared at her and threw a piece of lettuce at her laughing when it got stuck in her hair but stopped when she realized everyone was gawking at the two of them.

"How exactly do you two know each other?" Puck asked.

"We went to school together before Lena was-. Do they know?"

"Yeah they know I'm adopted. Mouse and I were and still are best friends. We were really close but then I got adopted and I had to move here." Lena said.

"So Rach why did you come here?" Quinn asked.

"I was adopted a few months ago and moved here too. I didn't know Lena was here because we lost touch for a while. So when I came here I found out she was here and the rest is history."

"So how do you like McKinely so far?" Finn asked from the end of the table. Santana glared at him, which was not missed by Rachel, Tina, or Lena.

"Umm… It's okay I can't complain at the moment. It's an improvement from my last school." Rachel said.

"True that!" Lena said putting her hand up like Artie usually does. Everybody started to laugh and Lena gave Artie a high five. Tina laughed and moved herself closer to Lena. Lena slung her arm over Tina's shoulder. Rachel once again picked up on it but said nothing. She tapped Santana on the arm and nodded towards Lena and Tina.

"¿Actúan siempre como un par?" Rachel asked Santana hoping she was the only one who understood what she said.

"Sí, pienso que es lindo pero nunca lo diría hacia fuera ruidosamente." Rachel nodded her head in understanding.

"Son lindos juntos pero no hago cosa Lena haré el primer movimiento." Rachel said.

"Estoy de acuerdo pero ni uno ni otro Tina." Santana said. Lena leaned over and plucked Rachel nose. Rachel pouted at Lena.

"Hey!" Rachel said. "That's not nice!" she grumbled. Santana smiled at Rachel slightly. She found that Rachel's pout to be so adorable and how wide her eyes were. Brittany nudged Quinn and pointed to Santana. Quinn smiled and shook her head.

"I may not speak Spanish but I know when you're whispering about me." Lena said. Rachel snatched one of Santana's French fries and tossed it at Lena hitting her right in the middle of the forehead. Everyone laughed and continued with their lunch asking Rachel casual questions and learned more about her.

-AFTER SCHOOL-

"So are you still sleeping over Tig?"

"Yeah come on my ride's this way." Lena said grabbing Rachel's hand and leading the way. Once they were situated Rachel went straight into the conversation.

"So when are you and Tina going to finally get together?" Rachel asked. Lena's jaw dropped.

"What?" She said turning to face Rachel as soon as she got to a stoplight.

"It's pretty obvious you like her Tig. The looks, the always touching, the cute little bantering. Santana said you guys are always like that. That's what we talking about when you hit me at lunch." Rachel said putting on a faux pout pretending to be mad still. Lena laughed at Rachel's pout.

"Okay so maybe I do like Tina… that does not mean I am going to say something. She doesn't like me back we are just really close friends." Lena said.

"Yeah okay… and Santana isn't incredibly attractive." Rachel muttered.

"So you do like her."

"No… Maybe…." She said. "I'm not going to do anything about it Lena. Look at me Lena. I cant even stand at my locker with out feeling like he is right behind me ready to hurt me for doing something wrong or hear his voice in my head pointing out all of my flaws. I'm not ready for that." Rachel said looking at her feet and biting her lip. Lena pulled into a parking space in front of the house and turned to face Rachel.

"It will get better Mouse. I promise it will. I wont let anything happen to you ever again. I shouldn't have…."

"Lena how many times do I have to tell you it's not your fault. If anything it was my fault I-."

"None of this was your fault. None of it! He should have never put is hands on you." Although Rachel heard Lena say the words she didn't believe them. She thought it was her fault because she wasn't perfect enough and that she didn't do what she was told to the best of her ability and that is why he did the things he did to her. She felt as though she deserved what she got and that whatever happened to her was her fault because she couldn't do anything right. Every time he yelled at her or hit her or touched her she blamed herself because after hearing a lie for so long it starts to sound like the truth. But she would never say these things out loud because of the fear. The fears of going back to that dark place again. The fear of being hit or tortured again. She never wanted to revert to that ever again and even if it slowly killed her she wouldn't go back.

I know this is short but I wanted to put a little pezberry action into this story and I also wanted to ass a little fin bashing because its so much fun. I hope you enjoy the update.
