Chapter 5: Cracking

Notes:

TW: How David raped Rachel. And before you come after me, I'm not excusing him raping her. I'm editing this as I go.

Chapter Text

Two days ago...

" You know what Karofsky?! You're one to talk about who's gay, considering I've never seen you with a girl!" Finn shouted. It struck a chord within David. He pulled his fist back and punched Finn in the face. "Shut the fuck up Hudson! I get girls all the time!" David said. He snatched up his gym back and stormed out of the locker room. He ran off to the fields and hid out under the bleachers. He pulled out a flask of Jack Daniels and started to drink. After the first few drinks he sighed. It was too close. He was almost outed by Finn Hudson. He hated him! And wanted to get back at him! After finishing his flask he decided to head home. He was stumbling through the halls when he spotted Rachel Berry humming. He got an idea, he'd get Rachel to go out with him to prove to the guys that he wasn't gay and end their questioning. He walked behind her slowly for a few minutes before calling out to her.

"Hey Rachel." He called.

Rachel whipped around at the sound of her name. "You're not going to slushy me?" She asked.

David moved closer to her."No, relax Berry." He said, running his hand down her arm.

Rachel shied away from the contact, "David, have you been drinking? You could be facing some serious consequences if Figgins-"

What happened next he didn't plan, but, David cut her off by placing a hand over her mouth. He was so full of anger. "You know what Berry? You talk too much!" He growled. He grabbed her by her shoulders and pushed her backwards into the bathroom and slammed her into the door. "If you promise not to scream I won't hurt you." He said. He removed his hand from Rachel's mouth.

"No! Please, no!" She cried.

David ignored her pleas. He had to prove he wasn't gay. "You're wearing too many clothes." He slurred, ripping her sweater. He took his time touching her and removing her clothing, but when he got to her skirt he lost all control. He hurried to pull the skirt down and to unzip his pants. He shut his eyes as he forced himself inside of her and she clenched in pain. "Take that Hudson! Gay my ass! Berry's cherry!"He grunted. He kept pushing inside of Rachel until he released. He pulled out and pulled up his pants. "If you tell anyone about this, ill kill you. And no one will believe you anyway, you're nothing." He said. He pushed her away from the door and ran out. He ran from the building and puked on the corner. What had he just done?

Present Day

David was full of guilt. He hated himself. He had started drinking even more. All that accomplished was a neverending hangover.

"Hey Karofsky what're you thinking about?"

"I was just... about something." David said.

"Thinking about what? Please don't say something gay!"

"I'm not gay! I fucked Berry in the girl's bathroom!" David blurted.

"No way bro! I think she was McKinley's last virgin! How was it?" His teammate cheered offering him a high-five.

David accepted the high-five and plastered a smile on his face. Honestly he wanted to throw up and kill himself. What had he done? He convinced himself this was the right thing to do because no one would dare think he was gay now.

Rachel was walking head down, arms wrapped around herself, when she felt herself flying into a row of lockers.

"SLUT!" The girl who pushed her shouted before marching down the hall.

Rachel was confused. She didn't understand. She had been called a lot of names but she'd never been called a 'SLUT' before. She knew she would be cutting herself when she got home, based on that alone. She pulled herself up and ran into the nearest bathroom, locking herself in a stall before she broke down. She had a hand over her mouth to keep sobs from escaping and sat on top of the toilet so her feet wouldn't be seen. She was drying her eyes when she heard a group of girls walk into the bathroom.

"They totally did it! I was surprised I so would have thought she had given it up to Finn a longtime ago!" One girl said.

"Well according to Santana Finn isn't that good at it anyways, but Rachel and David Karofsky?" Another girl said.

"Yeah, its weird right? You never see them together unless he's throwing a slushy in her face!" Another girl piped up.

"Maybe, that's their idea of foreplay!"

Rachel heard everything. She was going to be sick! Not only had he taken her virginity but now he was ruining her reputation? Tears stung her eyes and started to slip down her cheeks. Her life had turned into complete and total hell! Rachel listened to the girls trash talk her some more before they left and she let herself out of the stall. She looked at herself in the mirror and saw there was nothing she loved about herself. She hated everything about herself now. She pulled her hood over her head and left the bathroom, looking at the ground as she made her way to her first period class before the bell rang.

Quinn was shocked when she heard about Rachel sleeping with Karofsky. How did they know each other?! Why was it such a secret? Rachel didn't care about hurting Finn's feelings when she was grinding on her during their break up performance. She refused to believe it until Rachel confirmed it herself. It didn't matter to her what was buzzing all over the halls until Rachel said it was true. She wouldn't let herself believe it because she knew Rachel wasn't that type of girl and if it was true it would break her heart.

Rachel was at her locker changing out her books when she felt someone hovering over her. She looked up, her heart started racing and she wanted to scream. She opened her mouth, but nothing came out.

"You look shocked to see me. You really think I'd stay away after what we shared together a couple of days ago?" David asked. He leaned against the lockers and whispered into Rachel's ear, "Remember what I told you. If you open that pretty mouth of yours I'll kill you." He pressed off the locker and walked away. "See you around Berry!" He called over his shoulder.

Rachel stood trembling with fear. She was so scared she peed herself.

Quinn had watched the exchange between Rachel and David. It didn't look like an encounter between two lovers. It looked like a predator and it's prey. Once Karofsky stalked off she walked over to Rachel and placed her hand on her shoulder. She dropped her hand when Rachel flinched. "Rachel? Are you ok?" She asked.

Rachel flinched when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She barely noticed it was Quinn asking her if she was ok. "I-I'm fine, I just should have stayed home. My Mom got me out for the rest of the week and I don't need to be here!" Rachel glanced at Quinn and took off down the hall and out of the school. She couldn't be there one more second. She ran all the way home. When she got there she slammed the door closed and ran straight up to her room. She didn't even notice her Mother sitting on the couch reading a book. She closed her bedroom door and headed straight for her bathroom, turning on the hot water spray and steaming up the bathroom. She stripped off her clothes, grabbed the piece of glass she had hidden and stepped into the shower. She placed the piece of glass in the soap dish and she curled herself up in the tub, knees pulled up to her chest and began rocking herself. She held in the tears and screams until her chest began to hurt. Then she opened her mouth and starting screaming and the tears started pouring, mixing with the hot water spraying over her body.

Shelby looked up in confusion when Rachel raced into the house. Her hello's died on her tongue when Rachel took off up the stairs. She moved to go after her, but the phone rang. "Hello?...This is she...Yes, she just came in Principal Figgins...Thank you." Principal Figgins had called to let Shelby know that Rachel skipped out of school and about a nasty rumor that was floating around. Shelby was thinking about what she would say when she heard screams coming from upstairs. She threw her phone onto the couch and ran upstairs and into Rachel's bedroom and swung the bathroom door open, "Rachel? Honey?" She called. She pulled the curtain back and her heart broke at the sight. Rachel was curled up rocking herself screaming and crying. Shelby turned the water off, yanked a towel off the rack and threw it over her daughter's shoulder. She helped Rachel out of the shower and grabbed another towel to dry her hair. "Baby what happened?" She asked concerned.

"I shouldn't have gone. It's so much worse!" Rachel said. She was barely aware her Mother was drying her hair and she hadn't had a chance to cut herself. She didn't care. "He told everyone! I got shoved into a locker and called a 'SLUT'." She said. Tears started falling like a waterfall.

"He told everyone he raped you?!" Shelby screeched angrily. She was going to find out who this asshole was and she was going to castrate him with her bare hands. She grabbed Rachel's pj's and helped her into them.

"No! He told everyone that we are having sex!" Rachel cried. She slumped to the floor and wrapped herself up and began rocking. She couldn't take much more of this.

Shelby sat down beside her and wrapped her arms around her. "Ray? Tell me. You need to tell me. I need you to tell me." She had tears pooling in her eyes. She couldn't stand to see her baby suffer like this.

Rachel shook her head back and forth vigorously. "I CAN'T! I CAN'T!" She screamed.

Shelby didn't think it was physically possible, but she was sure she felt her heart-break into a million pieces. She felt hopeless.
