Music room:
In the music room, the glee club were sitting on the bleachers, except artie, who parked himself infront of the bleachers. Quinn, in her new basketball uniform, was talking infront of the group. "and there he was, kissing another woman"
The team started talking together. Mercedes says "so wait, this happened a week ago and you never told any of us". Quinn shrugged. "i never been in that situation before. I didn't know what to do".
Santana: what do you mean what are you gonna do. We gotta tell rachel and get her to dump him
Mercedes: isn't that because you wanna get into her pants
Santana stood up and says in an angy tone. "don't start with me, jones. That's not it at all. I've been seeing jesse treating her like crap the last few weeks. And she can definitely do better". Mercedes says "look, berry could use this time to grow up. I mean if she isn't breaking up with him right now, she never will"
Puck: some people can't walk away, i seen it happened before
Quinn stares at puck with a confused expression until tina starts talking. "hey, maybe it was an ex girlfriend and she wanted the relationship again, and you walked away when he pulled away". Quinn shook her head. "no, he was kissing back and pinning her by the sink". Santana shook her head before talking. "Ok, just do us a favor and keep an eye on rachel". Santana grabbed her duffel bag and walked out of the music room and started walking through the hallway until she heard a shower in the girls locker room. She slowly walked in the locker room and found rachel under a shower head, letting her hair get wet
Santana stares at rachel showering before saying. "berry?". Rachel quickly turned around and scream, making santana chuckled as rachel turned the shower off and grabbed a towel. "what are you doing?"
Santana: you shouldn't be shy. Considered this payback because you saw me naked, remember
Rachel: i keep telling you that was an accident
Santana giggled before saying. "what are you doing taking a shower at school". Rachel grabbed the towel that was hanging on the wall and wrapped herself up before walking out of the shower area and says "they shut off our water back at my house. I honestly didn't think anyone would be after-school, did i miss a glee meeting?".
Santana: no. Basketball
Rachel: oh ofcourse. I was nervous i miss a meeting
Rachel, using one hand to hold her towel up. She grabbed her clothes before walking behind a locker wall and started getting dress. "so how are you and jesse?". Rachel removed put up her skirt. "oh, things are... Fine". Santana slowly walked toward rachel and see a small, fading bruises at the side of her waist. In the shape of fingerprints. "berry. What are those bruises". Rachel quickly turned around to look at santana. The side of her stomach has thumb bruises
Rachel: oh. Those. Well... We were dancing and he accidentally was holding me tight
Santana stares at rachel before saying. "Are you sure?". Rachel quickly nodded. "ok. Just. Be safe". Santana said before walking out of the locker room. Rachel took a deep breath before putting on her bra
State prison:
Back at the prison. Santana was sitting in the visiting center. She waited for a few seconds until her brother, andy walked up and sat down across from her. "hey. What do i owe this visit. Shouldn't you be back at home"
Santana: i needed to talk to someone. And i think you can help. Remember that girl i told you about. Well she's been going out with this guy
Andy cut his sister off. "take out the competition. Here's what you do. Get him busy. I usually put laxative in the guy drink". Santana made a disgusted expression before saying. "no. That's not what i meant. I think he's abusing her". Andy made a shock expression. "what?!". Santana nodded. "I think he is, but rachel made a convincing argument"
Andy slowly starts talking. "bu- what made you think that?". Santana says "well. I met them at breadstix. And he complained that she eats too much, humiliated her by talking about her weight, and she is not fat at all. Not even chubby. She's perfect. But then today i saw her with bruises in the shape of fingerprints around her waist"
Andy: what did she say?
Santana: rachel said that he accidentally held her too tight. But. I don't know
Andy lean forward and whispers. "you really care about her, do you?". Santana nodded. "yeah, i do". Andy smiled before saying. "listen. This rachel girl can't be helped unless she ask for help"
Santana: that's your advice? what am i saying, you've been in five relationships
Andy: hey. One of them ended because of a pregnancy scare
Santana giggled. "look, my only other advice i can give. Talk to this guy". Santana slowly nodded. "thanks andy". Santana stood up and gave andy a hug. A security officer yells out. "NO CONTACT!!!". Andy send a glare to the officer. "alright, I'll allow it".
Quinn drove her car to a one story house, she parked her car by a black pick-up truck. With "puckerman's pool's". Written on the side of the truck. Quinn turned her car off before climbing out of her car, and walked up toward the front door. She knocked at the door and took a step back. The door opened up, revealing a middle-age woman, with her black hair in a bun. The woman was wearing a robe. "can i help you?".
Quinn: is this the puckerman residents?
Woman: it is, and who are you?
Quinn: i don't know if you remember me. But when your son was in middle school, i used to tutor him
The woman made a shock expression. "oh, your quinnie". Quinn smiled. "yeah, it's me". The woman says "oh wow. You grown up to be a pretty girl". Quinn says "thanks mrs puckerman. Uhh, is your son here?". The woman shook her head. "No, you missed him. I needed some milk so he's picking up some". Quinn says "well maybe i can talk to you". The woman nodded before opening the door wider. "you wanna come in". Quinn nodded before walking in the house. She closed the door before picking up a couple of toy cars and barbies. that were scattered around the neighborhood. "I'm sorry about the mess. Noah sister doesn't believe in picking up her toys"
Quinn: oh. I didn't even knew puck has a sister
The mom put the toys in a box. "that's like noah. Doesn't like to talk about his family. Let me get a cup of tea". Quinn shook her head "oh no, you don't have too". The mom walked into the kitchen, and grabbed a pot from the stove, and started pouring hot water in two cups. "it's no trouble". The mom then put two teabags into the cups. She grabbed the mugs and walked back into the living room and hands quinn one cup. "here you go".
Quinn: thanks, mrs puckerman
Mom: oh please. Call me gina
Gina sat down with quinn on the couch. Quinn look down to see crumbs on the couch. Gina wiped the crumbs off of the couch. "oh, sorry. I don't get much cleaning in this house much"
Quinn: oh, it's ok
Gina: so what do you wanna talk about?
Quinn took a sip of the tea before saying. "well. I know this isn't my business, but he was acting weird when we were talking about... A friend of mine being abused by her boyfriend". Gina slowly lower her cup before setting it on the small and dusty coffee table. "that's a soar subject for him"
Quinn: what do you mean?
Gina: my husband
Quinn looks confused. "puck's dad?". Gina nodded. "I'll tell you a story. I first met noah father in high school. He was nice man on the time. When we graduated, i found out i was pregnant with noah, or puck". Quinn smiled. "We got married, we figured it was the best for noah. But we both decided it'll be best if i stay home with noah and he goes to work. He started his own woodworking business. But then he started coming in late. Smelling like alcohol". Quinn started to look nervous as she slowly sat up".
Gina: we started fighting, it started to get worse. He yells at me, and noah even though he was a baby. One day, while i was doing the laundry, i found a pair of woman underwear in his jacket
Quinn covered her mouth with shock. "i confronted him about it. It was the worse fight then we ever had. Then he just left. to get cigarettes. But he doesn't smoke. He never came back. I was left as a single mother. But he came back when noah was 10 years old. And he begged me to take him back. And i was feeling lonely, and i did miss him. So i did. I really did missed him. Things were going well, noah was hesitant with him, though. But he went back to his old ways. Then one day, he put his hands on me"
Quinn: what did he do?
Gina shed a tear before saying. "he slapped me in the face, so hard that i got a nose bleed. Noah started figuring out what's happening, and he kicked him out. Never seen him again". Quinn shed a tear, and she wiped it away. "oh my god"
Gina: yeah. Noah has a soar area over abuse after what happened
Quinn: i am so sorry, though. I can't even imagine what you and your family went through
Gina: it has been tough. I started out as a single mom to two kids, and was a stay-at-home mom. But with hard work, i am a manager at a restaurant, and raising two beautiful kids to the right path
A door opened in the hallway and a 9 year old girl, with long black hair, wearing pajamas, walked into the living room while rubbing her eyes. "mommy, i can't sleep". Gina grabbed her daughter and put her on her lap. The daughter put her head on gina shoulder. Gina kissed her head. "it was rough. And i hated him, but i just look what he left behind for me. And know i did the right decision". Quinn smiled at the little girl
Girl: who's she?
Gina: that's a friend of your brother
Quinn waved at the girl before standing up. "i gotta go, thanks again for this. I was just worried about puck". Gina smiled. "you seemed like a good friend. I'm just lucky he has someone like you around. I worry about him". Quinn smiled before heading out the door and notice a photo hung up by the door, showing puck, gina, and his little sister together, happy

The team bow their heads as the lights dimmed. Will clapped his hands while standing up and walked toward the stage. "great job, gang. That was a 9, but we need a 10". Will phone buzzed, and he took his phone out of his pocket and opened his home screen, seeing a text message, making him smile. "uhh. Anyway, rory you need to work more on your steps. Finn you need to hit a high B. But other than that, you all great. Now i gotta do something. Rehearsal again tomorrow". Will grabbed his satchel and walked out of the auditorium. Rory says "it seems Mr schuester has been busy lately"
Brittany smiled before saying. "i think i know why. Mr schuester has a girlfriend". Artie laugh before saying. "how can you know that". Brittany says. "that look he made when he looked at his phone. I know that look anywhere". Rachel says "well, I'm glad glee ended early, because I'm planning on meeting with jesse". Rachel walked away. Santana sigh before saying. "we gotta do something". Quinn sigh before walking up. "i know, but what can we do"
Santana: i just don't want to see rachel getting hurt. So i need to talk to jesse.
Santana walked out as quinn made a worried expression. Santana walked out of the auditorium and looked around until he spotted Will walking toward the front doors. She walked up and says "mr schuester. I need to talk to you, quick". Will turned around and stopped walking. "what is it?"
Santana: do you have jesse in any of your classes?
Will: jesse st james? no, why?
Santana looks around before saying. "something is wrong between rachel and jesse. He treats her bad, and i worry he might do something worse". Will makes a shock expression before saying. "santana, i think your overreacting. Jesse seems like a nice guy". Santana sigh. "I'm tell you something off. Jesse is not good enough for rachel. I've seen some signs"
Will: maybe your seeing the wrong signs
Santana stares at Will. "you care more about your stupid date then your student who might be in danger to a guy who treats her bad". Santana shook her head before walking away as Will stare at her with a confused expression
Back at the music room, quinn walked into the room, seeing puck grabbing his guitar. "oh, hey, puck". Puck looks at quinn before looking at his guitar. "hey". Quinn makes a confused expression before walking up to the bleachers, and she found her bag. She grabbed it before saying. "you ok?". Puck sigh before standing up and look at quinn. "i had a talk with my mom yesterday". Quinn started to look nervous
Puck: she told me how nice you are. You would've meet my dad except. That is a sore subject for my mom
Quinn set her bag down before saying. "ok, i know i talk to your mom". Puck slowly nodded while putting his guitar down. "yeah, i know. Why the hell did you talk to my mom?"
Quinn: well when me and santana told everyone about jesse, you seem to tense up. I just wanted to make sure your ok
Puck: I've spent years, helping my mom through that time of her life. That guy ruined her life. She spent years trying to fix it up. I wanted to help to. I started a pool cleaning business to help with money. I look after my little sister when my mom had to work late
Quinn: i just Don't understand why your being so defensive about it
Puck: think about it like this. A girl you like your whole life danced with you at the school dance. And then she ran out of the dance, leaving you alone. And now you found out she talk to your mom about something that always breaks her down when she reminded by it
Quinn slowly says "i am sorry, puck. Your just one of the most important people in my life. I just wanted to make sure your ok". Puck says "my family was fine. They don't need to be reminded by it". Puck grabbed his guitar and walked out of the room. Quinn slowly sat down on the bleachers with a sad expression
At a unknown restaurant. Shelby is at a table, sitting across from Will. Who is tapping his finger on his cup of water. Shelby was staring at him while taking a bite of bread. "so i was working on vocal adrenaline today". Will mumbled while looking at his water
Shelby: my star student wasn't at rehearsal again
Will continued tapping his finger to his water. Shelby sat up before setting the bread down. "and then a giant spider showed up and robbed us". Will mumbled again. "sounds good". Shelby crossed her arms and a smirk appeared on her face. "I'm wearing a see through bra". Will looked up with a shock expression. "what?!". Shelby laughed before saying. "what is going on in that head of yours?"
Will: oh, it's nothing. I just had something going on. Anyway, what were you saying? bra or something?
Shelby laughed again. "Well, before i figured out you weren't listening. I was telling you my star student wasn't at rehearsal. " Will looks confused. "Again?". shelby nodded. "Yeah, i don't know what his deal is. He's been absent for the last few weeks, and he's my head singer"
Will: yeah, I'm kinda in a pickle myself
Shelby: what's wrong?
Will sigh before saying. "well. My lead singer, rachel berry, remember her". Shelby slowly nodded "somewhat". Will grabbed a napkin and wiped his hands. "well. She's been going out with this guy, and the other glee members think he's taking her for granted. One even said he's abusing her". Shelby look shock. "what? is she ok, is rachel ok?". Will looks confused "yeah, why are you so concerned for rachel?"
Shelby cleared her throat before saying. "well. I get nervous when stuff like this happened. Including if their teens". Will nodded "yeah, that makes sense. Personally, i think they are overreacting. Rachel and the glee member that gave me this information had a past, but. I don't know what to do"
Shelby: you need to get rachel to talk. I mean if she really is getting abused, you can't just ignore that
Will looks at the napkin in his hands. "i think I've been busy lately, that i didn't really see the signs". Shelby says "kids always have signs". Will nodded. "yeah. But i still think the abusing thing is overreacted"
Shelby: well. You need to talk to rachel and figure out what she's going on
Will slowly nodded while taking a sip of water
The next day
At McKinley high. Will walked into the teacher lounge, seeing emma, standing by the coffee maker, adding some sugar in her coffee. Will walked up toward emma and asked. "hey, emma. I need your help". Emma looks at Will with confusion. "what is it?" she asked as she took a sip of her coffee
Emma office:
Rachel was sitting across from emma, while Will was standing beside her. And santana was sitting next to rachel
Rachel shook her head before saying. "I'm not getting abused". Emma says "rachel, this is a safe environment. You can say anything and it won't go around the school"
Rachel: No, I'm tell the truth
Will: well, santana is really sure that jesse been doing things to you
Rachel looks at santana with a confused expression. Santana says "i saw the bruises, what do you expect me to think". Rachel says "he held me too tight. I told you that"
Emma: what bruises?
Santana: berry has bruises around her waist
Will: really. Rachel, we need to see them
Rachel: No, because theirs nothing to show. It was an accident. He just hold me tight
Emma: rachel, i think santana is worried about you. Santana, tell her what you told us
Santana looks at rachel before saying. "ok, berry, i was happy your dating someone. But he's not right for you. He heckles you. He body shame you. When i saw those bruises, i had to say something". Rachel shook her head. "he's not perfect, but he is a good person, santana. And i don't like you accusing him"
Santana: berry, I'm just looking out for you
Rachel: you just need to get to know him. And then maybe you can trust him
Santana: i don't think i can trust myself around him
Emma: uhh, santana. Could this be jealousy
Santana looks confused before saying. "what, I'm not jealous". Emma and Will shared a look. "ok, maybe a little, but i was the one who encouraged rachel to go out with this, but i can't look away from what he's doing". Emma says "jealously makes people do crazy things. Santana, is it possible you made this up". Santana stood up with an offended expression."i didn't lie about the bruises. I swear, something going on with this jesse guy that i don't like". Santana quickly walked out of emma office. Rachel sigh while looking down
Santana started walking through the hallway with an angry expression. She walked out of the school and walked into the courtyard. She lean on one of the columns while taking deep breaths. "well if it isn't the idiot lesbian". Santana turn her head to see jesse, sitting on one of the courtyard table, with a smile on his face
Santana: what are you doing?
Jesse: waiting for rachel. She told me she was called into the school counselor, should i ask why
Santana pushed herself away from the columns and sat down infront of jesse. "i don't care what rachel says. I know a toxic relationship when i see one. Stay away from rachel". Jesse sat up before saying. "i think that's for her to decide. It takes two to break up"
Santana: i saw the bruises. What have you been doing with rachel?
Jesse: it doesn't concern you, you are not dating rachel. She told me you backed out
Santana: I can tell you are not getting this threat through your empty skull. So I'm gonna tell you the way we do in glee. In song
Santana opened up her bag and took out her speaker, she sets it down on the table. Turned it on, shooting out the music from the speaker. Santana stood up and looked at jesse in the eyes as she started singing
Santana:
As he came into the window
It was a sound of a crescendo
He came into her apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
Santana walked up behind jesse, grabbed his shoulders while looking at him. She slapped jesse shoulders before walking around the table and looked at jesse, and he smirked at her direction
Santana:
She ran underneath the table
He could see she was unable
So she ran into the bedroom
She was struck down, it was her doom
Santana:
Annie, are you okay?
Jesse stood back up and sang himself as he walked up toward santana
Jesse:
So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Jesse and santana:
Annie, are you okay? So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay? So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay? So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
The two started walking in a circle while looking at each other in the eye
Jesse:
Annie, are you okay? Will you tell us that you're okay?
There's a sound at the window that he struck you, a crescendo, Annie
Santana:
He came into your apartment, and left the bloodstains on the carpet
Then you ran into the bedroom, you were struck down, it was your doom
Santana and jesse walked up toward each other. Jesse held his hand out for her. She was about to grab it, but he pulled his hand back and poked santana in the head, making her look angry as he walked backwards
Jesse:
Annie, are you okay?
Santana:
So, Annie, are you okay?
Jesse:
Are you okay, Annie?
Santana and jesse:
Annie, are you okay? So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay? So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Santana:
You've been hit by, you've been hit by, a smooth criminal
Ow!
Santana punched her fist together before twirling around before walking around the table. Jesse walked up and tapped his foot at santana bag, tipping it over
Santana:
So they came in to the outway
It was Sunday, what a black day
Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation
Sounding heartbeats, intimidations
Jesse:
Annie, are you okay?
Santana:
So, Annie, are you okay?
Jesse:
Are you okay, Annie?
Santana:
Annie, are you okay?
Santana and jesse:
So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay? So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
You've been hit by, you've been hit by, a smooth criminal
Ow!
Jesse turned the speaker off while looking at santana. "i know that song in the back of my head. You gotta intimidate me more than that". Santana crossed her arms while staring at jesse. She says "If i see one more bruise on that girl body. I swear, I'm gonna go all lima high on your ass. Make this easier on both of us, end it. Don't see her again". Santana walked back to the table, grabbed her bag and speaker before walking away. Jesse shot a glare at santana before walking the other direction
Hallway:
Will guided rachel out of emma office and the two started walking through the hallway. Rachel says "i can't believe santana did this, although, it's kinda nice to see someone caring about me for once, even though it's about nothing"
Will: santana heart is in the right place. Beside, their are a lot of people who care about you. Me, the glee club
Rachel says. "true". Will nodded "and your parents". Rachel slowly looks down until Will stopped walking and looked through his satchel, and pulled out a couple sheets of paper. "oh, before i forget. I copied the setlist on what were gonna sing. And i can't trust sue since all the stunts she pull through these months. So I'm trusting you on keeping them safe". Rachel looks at Will and says "you serious?!". Will nodded and hands rachel the papers, not knowing jesse walked in the hallway and notice the paper rachel was holding, and she put the papers in her bag
Jesse walked up and says "hey, babe. I already have your bike in my car, ready to go?". Rachel nodded. "yup, I'm ready". Jesse nods at Will direction before saying. "hey, rach, we need to stop by my house real quick, i need to drop something off"
Rachel: oh, what is it
Jesse: a little personal. In other words, nobe of your business
Will looks surprised while looking at jesse. Rachel quickly nodded. "ok, i understand". Rachel and jesse started walking away while Will looks at jesse with a nervous expression
At an apartment building, jesse and rachel were standing in a elevator, rachel was looking around before saying. "so, i thought you said you live in a house". jesse shook his head "uhh, no u didn't. I live in an apartment building. Do you know the market is in this town"
Rachel slowly nodded until the elevator door opened up, and the two walked out of the elevator and started walking through the hallway until jesse turned his body to a door with the number 36 on it. Jesse used a key to opened the apartment door, and he and rachel walked in the apartment. Seeing two sets of couch in the middle of the living room, and a coffee table standing infront of the couch, and ontop of a rug. A tall lamp was standing by the couch. A flat screen TV is sitting in a shelf with a large set of CD's in the shelf. An open window was in the living room, with a set of plants sitting on the frame. A book shelf was set up on the wall beside the window, with picture frames standing on the shelf. Along with decorated vases. Two rows are covered with books. Rachel slowly walks in the room and says "nice place". Jesse smiled as he closed the door "thanks. We lived here for a few years now"
Rachel removed her backpack by pulling her strap from her shoulder and set it down on the table. Jesse says "can i get you something?". Rachel shook her head. "no, I'm good. Uhh, can i use your bathroom". Jesse nodded "sure. Down the hall to the right". Rachel walked into the hallway and turned to the right, and found the bathroom. She closed the bathroom door and walked up toward the mirror, looking at her reflection for a minute before taking out her phone and opened up a photo of herself and santana, making her smile before opening up her text message and found santana number. She started writing a message. "I'm sorry for what i said". And hit send. She put her phone in her pocket and started washing her hands
Jesse looks in the hallway before sitting down and opened up rachel bag, and pulled out the setlist, and started looking through the papers. Seeing the lyrics, making him smile, not knowing rachel was walking up and notice jesse. "jesse". Jesse quickly turned around and set the papers on the table. He stood up to look at rachel. "hey"
Rachel makes a confused expression. "what were you doing in my bag?". Jesse looks at rachel backpack before saying. "uhh. I notice the papers were sticking out and i get curious". Rachel pointed at the papers. "but, you were looking through all the papers"
Jesse started to make a annoying expression before saying. "why are you asking all these questions?". Rachel makes a nervous expression before walking up and grabbed her papers. "you know, maybe i should get going. And I'll call you when i get home". Rachel was about to walk away, but jesse grabbed rachel wrist, pulling her back. "hey, what's your hurry". Rachel, with a scared expression, says. "l-l-let me go". Rachel pulled her arm out of jesse grip
Rachel: I think i should go home
Jesse: Not with those papers
Rachel looks at the papers before saying. "what is so important with my glee club setlist". Jesse says "don't make this hard". Rachel, without thinking, kicked the table toward jesse, hitting him in the knee, making him fell on the table, making him groan in pain. Rachel started running toward the front door, but jesse stood back up and jumped over the table and tackled rachel to the ground
The next day
Back at McKinley high. Will walked into the front doors and started walking through the hallway until he notice emma and shannon standing infront of the school office. Will walked up and says "hey, what's going on?". Shannon pointed straight ahead, and Will look to see two officers talking to principal figgins. "principal figgins is in a meeting with two police officers"
Emma: what do you think going on?
Shannon: i hope not another sexual assault
Figgins looks out the window and notice Will. He wave his hand forward. Shannon says "wait, is this about you". Will looks confused. "i didn't do anything". Will walked into the school office and walked through the door, seeing the cops. "hey, figgins"
Figgins: William, have a seat
Will slowly sat down before saying. "what is this about. Uhh, i didn't do anything". Figgins nodded "this isn't about you"
One officer starts talking. "are you william schuester. School spanish teacher. And director of the glee club?". Will nodded. Both of the officers removed their hats before one says. "do you know rachel berry?". Will slowly nodded with a nervous expression. "she's the glee club captain. Can somebody tell me what's going on?".
Figgins: william. Rachel was attack last night
Will makes a shock expression. "what?! what do you mean?!". One officer says "in the middle of the night, we got a call from someone who found rachel berry in an alley, beaten up pretty bad"
Will slowly stand up and says. "is she ok?". The officer says "She's in the hospital right now, she should be fine". The other cop starts talking. "we're hoping you have information on where she was last night"
Will: what about her parents
Both cops looked at each other before one starts talking. "we found her address. The house is. Deserted. Except for a stain mattress with a single blanket and a pillow. A cooler filled with water bottles. And clothes hanging in the backyard. Ms berry parents aren't there". Will looks even more shock while staring at the cop
Officer: Mr. Schuester. We know this is hard to hear, but do you have any information in where she was last night?
Will looks down before saying. "she was going out with her boyfriend". The first officer says "boyfriend? did he shown any signs of abusive?"
Will: well. He did seem controlling when i saw him yesterday. But one student been saying he doesn't treat her right. And saw bruises on her stomach in the shower room
The second officer started writing down information while the other cop says. "i know this is hard, but if their any signs of abused. You can't stand back and let it happened"
The other officer asked. "what is this boy name". Will says "jesse st james. He's actually a student here". Figgins, with a confused expression, says. "no he's not. As principal in this school, i make sure to know every student. We have no student name jesse". Will looks confused. "what, no, he transfer here weeks ago".
Figgins: I'll certainly remember a transfer student, especially with a name like that
Will looked down with a sad expression. The officer ripped up a paper and hands it to Will. "here's the direction to the hospital ms berry is at, if you have any information, contact us. And we're sorry about all of this". The two cops walked out of the office while will slowly sat back on the chair. Figgins says "i am so sorry, william"
Will: i can't believe this happened. I should've listen to santana
Figgins: don't beat yourself up, william. Your a great teacher. If you want today off, I'll understand
Will slowly shook his head. "i need to tell the kids, though. Can i take the kids to see rachel?". Figgins nodded. "of course".
Now in the music room, Will walked in the room to see the glee club standing together. Brittany says "we never have a glee meeting during the day".
Rory: why are we here?
Santana looks around before saying. "and where's berry". Will sigh before saying. "i got some news i need to tell you. Rachel is in the hospital". The entire glee club looks shock and scared while looking at Will
Finn: wait what?!
Quinn: what happened
Will looks at santans before whispering. "we think it's jesse". Santana has tears coming out of her eyes before saying. "i-is she ok". Will slowly nodded. "i don't know".
Puck: where is she?
Will: in st albert hospital
Santana stood up and says "that's where my parents work at". Kurt says "can we see her?". Will nodded. "yeah, we can all go now, i got permission from principal figgins. Let's go". The glee club immediately stood up and ran out of the room, passing sue in the process. Sue looks at Will before saying. "practicing early in the day". Will stopped running before turning around to look at sue, who says. "i counted 12 and a half. Where's the little girl. She finally quit?".
Will: i am in no mood for this, sue
Sue: oh did i struck a nerve because you lost your best singer
Will, with anger, says. "You know, you always try to get in my head, but not this time. Something more important happened". Will continued following the glee club while sue stares at them with confusion
At a hospital. The glee club ran into the waiting room and all started talking to the nurse, who was sitting behind the front desk at once. The nurse yelled out. "ONE AT A TIME"
Will walked through the group and starts talking. "we're here to see rachel berry". The nurse grabbed a file before saying. "friend or family".
Will: friends
Nurse: only two visitors
Will looks at santana before saying. "i think you should see her". Will and santana were guided to one of the hospital room, seeing rachel laying unconscious, with her left eye bruised, a cut lip. She also has bruises around her neck. Rachel is attach to a heart monitor. Santana covered her mouth with tears coming out of her eyes. She slowly walked up and sat down on the side of the bed, making rachel slowly wake up to see santana. "hey, berry" she whispers
Rachel looks down before saying. "you were right. Jesse didn't care about me". Santana held her hand up and brush somw hairlock behind rachel ear. "i don't care about being right. I just want you safe"
Will: what happened anyway
Rachel: we were at his place because he needed to get something. Next thing i know i found him stealing the setlist
Will: the setlist? That's all he wanted
Rachel: yeah, when i confront him about it. He... He... He
Rachel started sobbing, and santana lean in to give Rachel a hug. "hey, it's ok. Stay calm". Rachel sobbing started to slow down. Will with confusion, says. "our setlist?". A knock was heard, making Will and santana turn their heads to see antonio lopez, wearing scrubs and a lab coat. Antonio looks at santana and says "Hey, san, i figured you were gonna be here soon"
Will: how is she?
Antonio: whoever did this to her, they beat her pretty rough. She has a broken rib, and from the neck we found some a hand bruise. I don't think i should tell you why. And her right knee had some small damage. She's hurt bad, but she'll make a full recovery. No concession or wounds, she'll be fine. But we still need to monitor her for a couple of days. Rachel was unconscious when they found her so who knows what they did to her
Santana continued holding rachel in her arms before whispering "gracias papa". Antonio smiled at santana and rachel
In the waiting area, quinn was sitting on one of the chairs while her knee was moving up and down until puck walked up and sat down, and put his hand on quinn knee, stopping it from moving. Quinn looks at puck before saying. "sorry"
Puck: you ok?
Quinn: i should've told everyone sooner. Now i feel awful
Puck: you shouldn't. Jesse did this. You wanna make sure people are alright, ans that's one of the reason i-
Quinn looks at puck and smiled at him. "sorry for going behind your back". Puck shrugged "i shouldn't have been angry. I just get sensitive when it comes to my family. People sees me as this badass. But with my family". Quinn interrupts puck before saying. "puck, you are a nice guy. You help out with your family. My dad didn't cry when my grandmother died". Puck shook his head. "your dad's a dick". Quinn laugh as the two stare at each other
Matt turn his head and see Will walking toward them with a sad expression. Matt stood up and says "how's rachel?". The other glee members look at Will. "rachel gonna be fine, but they want to monitor her for awhile"
Kurt: for how long?
Will: it's hard to say. Could be a couple days or a couple of weeks. To be honest, I'm not sure if she'll be ready for sectionals
The group slowly looked down. Rory wrapped his arm around brittany when she started to cry. Puck was about to give quinn a hug, but put his arms back down. Will looks down with a sad expression
McKinley high:
In the teacher lounge. Will was sitting on one of the tables while looking down. Emma walked up toward Will with two coffee mugs in her hands, and she set one down infront of Will before sitting down
Will: not in the mood for coffee
Emma: you need to drink something, Will
Will: santana told me something was wrong and i didn't listen
Emma: you know i was there, too, i feel bad myself
Shannon walked up and sat down with the two. "hey, Will. Finn told me what happened. Are you ok?". Will shrugged. "I'm not sure". Sue walked into the room and walked up toward the coffee machine. "and from that hard work, rachel probably won't go to sectionals". Sue laugh before finishing her coffee and turned around to look at the three. "so she actually backed out". Emma says "sue, please don't"
Sue: can i guess. I bet she quit because of your issues. The way you yelled at me yesterday. Oh by the way, how was skipping school yesterday. You know your wasting those kids time with that stupid club and now your convincing them to leave school. Hopefully you'll get fired
Will slammed his hands on the table. "ok, sue, that's enough!". Shannon says "wait, Will, breathe". Will stood up and walked up toward sue, making shannon drop her head on the table. "you always been trying to make the kids lives miserable, hoping they'll quit glee for your stupid budget"
Sue: you calling my budget stupid. It's what makes this school runs smoothly
Will: that isn't the point. I never cared about being top of this school. I care about the kids who have an interest in the arts. And you see them as a threat. That's not a good teacher, sue. You are the worst teacher ever
Sue: you calling me a bad teacher. I do whatever it takes to win, and to be honest. You weren't a challenge
Will took a deep breath before saying. "let me tell you this. It doesn't matter. I always look away when you do something to us. The slushies, the bullying. I look past it, because it doesn't make sense to continue fighting with someone who only sees kids as trophies. What i see these kids is potential. Happiness. Full of life. Glee club is to bring joy to people who thought they were already happy. And because of your childness, your destroying something that means something to them. But, all of it doesn't matter because we might not make it to sectionals. Oh, and that little trip, wasn't just to ditch school. You obviously didn't hear it. Rachel is in the hospital". She makes a confused expression before setting her coffee down. "I'm sorry, what?"
Will: yeah. Rachel was beaten up last night, and the setlist has been stolen. I don't know why this happened. But all i know is that without rachel, we won't make it to sectionals. Which means New Direction is finished. So congratulations, sue. I hope your happy
Will walked away as sue makes a shock expression. Emma stood up and followed Will out of the teacher lounge and grabbed his shoulder to make him turn around. "Will wait. First off, wow. Your the first person to stand up to sue since she got here"
Will: well great
Will tried to walk away, but emma grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back. "Will wait. Second. You can still go to sectionals. That's you and those kids dream, if you don't go. Your just proving sue that she's right"
Will: we can't do it without rachel
Emma: rachel is not the team. The team is the team
Will slowly nodded. "yeah, your right". Emma slowly says "a-and their is one more thing. Since figgins said we had no jesse st james in our school, i did some digging"
Will: what you found out
Emma looks at Will with a nervous expression
Back at carmel high school. In the auditorium, shelby was sitting behind her desk, watching vocal adrenaline performing on stage. "ENOUGH". The glee club stopped dancing and look at shelby. "good enough for today. Rest up, we got more practice until sectionals". The group walked off of the stage while the auditorium door opened up and an unknown person walked up toward shelby. She turn her head and see the person, making her sit back and cross her arms. "well. If it isn't jesse st james".
Jesse smiled as he adjust the bag that was around his shoulder. "nice to see you again, ms Corcoran". Shelby says "you better have a good reason on where you been these last few weeks. Sectionals is weeks away, and my glee club captain hasn't shown up for rehearsal". Jesse removed the strap from his arm, and dropped it on the table before opening it up and took out the setlist. "i do. I know you made the setlist, but i made my own". Shelby looks confused while staring at jesse
Music room:
The glee club were sitting on the bleachers. All had a shock expression. Mike says "so, jesse has been a member of vocal adrenaline this whole time!?". Will slowly nodded. Kurt says "that's why he took the setlist"
Santana, with anger, popped the basketball that was on her lap. "i am going to kill jesse". Quinn says "i seriously don't want you to be my first client when i become a lawyer". Santana shook her head at quinn
Will: guys. Obviously you are all angry at jesse. So am i, but we can't kill him, but we can beat him. In sectionals
Mercedes: you gotta be joking
Artie: mercedes right, we can't do this without rachel
Finn nodded. "the wheelchair kid is right. She can sing". Will says "look. Jesse cheated, but without proof that he's the one who hurt rachel, we can't bring him to justice. But winning sectionals, is a way we can stop him. I talked to rachel, and she wants you all to not give up hope. Rachel says you worked so hard to back out now. She wants you all to continue working for sectionals. And until she gets out, and she will get out before sectionals. She told me to put santana as captain". Santana makes a shock expression. "me"
Will: she said you are the one who saw jesse true color, and the glee club needs that
Santana shook her head. "i can't take rachel position as captain". Will says "just until she gets better. She believes in you, and so do i". Santana slowly nodded. "ok, I'll do it. I should've stopped him though. My mexican third eye sees all". Will laugh before saying. "don't beat yourself up, santana. Rachel trust you enough to put you in charge. As for the rest of us. Let's get ready. Sectionals is not that far. I believe in you all". He finished saying, not knowing sue was eavesdropping in the hallway
Will: so what do you say. You wanna beat vocal adrenaline by winning sectionals
New Direction stood up and cheered. "YES". Will nodded. "then let's get to work".
The glee club walked out of the music room. Santana grabbed her bag before walking up toward Will. "mr schuester. Are you sure you want me as glee captain. Why not pick mercedes or kurt. They have more experience"
Will: rachel chose you for a reason. You just need to believe in yourself. Do it for rachel
Santana slowly nodded with a smile on her face
Auditorium:
The glee club were standing on the stage. Brittany, quinn, santana, tina, and mercedes are standing on the steps while Artie, rory, kurt, puck, finn, matt, and mike were squatting infront of the girls.
Will was sitting behind his desk and pressed a button on the remote, shooting music out of the speakers. Santana started singing
Santana:
You're not alone, together we stand
I'll be by your side, you know, I'll take your hand
The boys stood up and walked up behind the girls. Kurt started singing himself
Kurt:
When it gets cold and it feels like the end
There's no place to go, you know, I won't give in
All:
ah
The boys walked off the steps and took a step forward while raising their left arms up. The girls did the same
Santana and finn:
No, I won't give in
All:
ah
Puck walked up and lifted santana up and held her bridal style while spinning in a circle. Kurt did the same with tina. Finn with quinn. Artie with brittany. Rory with mercedes. Matt and mike walked up toward the edge and twirled together before tapping their feet together
All:
Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
The boys set the girls back down before walking backwards. Each girl put their hands on the boys chest, and looked behind their shoulders
All:
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
Rory, matt, brittany, mercedes, artie, and quinn stood on the right side of the stage while finn, kurt, mike, tina, and puck stood on the left side, then they started shooting their arms in the air just when the music started to pick up
All:
There's nothing you could say, nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
The group turned around to face the empty seats and raised their arms in the air, slowly
All:
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Back in the hospital, rachel is still in the hospital room, laying on her bed while looking out of the window. A tray of uneaten food was set behind her
All:
La, la, la. La, la, la
Santana:
So far away, I wish you were here
Before it's too late, this could all disappear
Before the doors close and it comes to an end
With you by my side, I will fight and defend
The group took a step forward of the edge of the stage and started singing
All:
ah
Santana:
I'll fight and defend
All:
Yeah, yeah
Quinn:
Keep holding on
All:
ah, ah
Keep holding on
The group walked up toward each other and stood together, and the entire group started singing. Will phone buzzed, and he took his phone out to see shelby caller ID. He hit ignore before looking back at New Direction
Santana:
There's nothing you could say
All:
nothing you could say
Santana:
Nothing you could do
All:
nothing you could do
Santana:
There's no other way
All:
when it comes to the truth
Quinn and brittany held santana hand's together when she started looking down with a sad expression
All:
So keep, holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
The group stepped away from santana as she looked up, and tears started coming out of her eyes, and she took a deep breath while sniffing
This was an emotional story i did right here. I had tears coming out of my eyes myself.
So much as happened. Jesse is revealed to be a member of vocal adrenaline. Rachel is in the hospital. And jesse took New Direction setlist and claims it as his own. But New Direction is not gonna let him win.
What do you think gonna happened. Who's gonna win sectionals. And where is rachels' parents. Wait and see
