Your Safe With Me

32

Lucy turned over in bed and groaned quietly at the headache she had. LeRory had decided to leave the girls alone for the night to face some time to himself so he had gone out Frannie for drinks. Both girls knew they'd stay up late that night or at least they tried to at some point they both fell asleep in Rachel's bed while the movie continued to play on the screen.

Lucy truly had been sleeping peacefully until she felt a body standing over her " Go back to sleep Rae..." Lucy mumbled into her pillow just like she usually did and normally she'd hear a giggle in return and feel Rachel wrap her arms around her but when Lucy didn't hear a sound and realized that Rachel was in bed beside or  she panicked but secretly she hoped it was just Frannie or LeRory maybe even Santana pranking them. Slowly the hazel eyes opened to reveal a tall figure in all black holding a sharp knife with an evil smile on their face.

Screaming loudly Lucy jumped out of bed and ran the intruder following close behind. Upon hearing the screams Rachel sat up in bed and panicked when Lucy wasn't beside her. Quietly Rachel got out of bed and walked towards the stairs looking over the railing to find her best friend rubbing away from a tall figure in all black holding a knife. Quickly but quietly Rachel rushed into her room and fumbled with her phone calling 911 as her hands shook in fear

" 911 what's your emergency ?" The operator says as they answered " T-there's an I-intruder in my h-house...chasing my b-best friend with a k-knife.." Rachel said stuttering and stumbling over her words " Okay can I have your names please sweetheart ?" The operator asked sweetly and it was almost like her mind went blank when she noticed how quickly things had gotten quiet in the house her breathing picked up drastically as tears threatened to spill from her eyes. " Sweetheart ? I need you to tell me your names okay ?.." The operator said calmly " I-...R-Rachel....a-and Q-Quinn.." Rachel said as quietly as she could as she could hear the intruder walking around downstairs.

The operator tried their best to stay calm for the clearly terrified teen. Thankfully they'd been able to track Rachel's cell phone and they now have officers on the way " Rachel ?...Sweetie the police and paramedics are on their way okay ? I need for you to stay quiet okay ?" The operator told her. Strangely enough she could sense the young girls urge to rub down those stairs and search for her best friend as time slowly passed the operator could hear the teens silent cries " The police are on your street okay Rachel ? They should be coming inside any minute but you still need to stay out until an officer gets to you" The operator told her. Rachel nodded tho the person couldn't see her.

Rachel sat silently crying on the floor in her bedroom as she heard the police enter her home loudly and she jumped when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Glancing up the brunette found the officer looking at her " Hi sweetheart they have the intruder you can come out now okay ?.." The officer told her and Rachel nodded as she shakily got up and went downstairs with the officers help. Rachel hadn't bothered to look at the mess downstairs she rushed outside when she saw the blonde head of hair on the porch quickly the short girl rushed outside to her best friend and went to hug her but stopped when the blonde moved away from her. It felt as tho her whole world had shattered when the blonde moved away and wouldn't let her touch her wouldn't look at her " Lucy..." Rachel said sadly as her best friend kept her head down.

Rachel collapsed into the arms that wrapped around her as tears streamed down her face her best friend didn't want her to touch her she didn't wanna look at her. Rachel's cries only seemed to get worse when she heard the pain in Frannie's voice as she tried to get closer to her little sister.

Lucy sat in the window seat in the kitchen of the Berry home her mind racing as she thought abt what had taken place the previous night. The words the man had said to her sank into her brain. " Russel Fabray is not your father and Judy isn't your mother ".  The man's cold words played over and over in the blondes head as she continued to think and wonder who her parents actually were but it was possible that the guy was lying she looked just like Frannie or at least she thought she did.

Rachel looked at the blonde sat in the window seat it was obvious she was deep in thought most likely abt all that had occurred the previous night. Sighing Rachel looked at Santana who had coke to the house in a hurry when the brunette called her in tears and just like Lucy had done everyone else she moved away and wouldn't look at the Latina " I don't like this Santana...she..she was improving so much...she talked to us she was opening up...and now...she's more closed off than she's been since we became friends..." Rachel said " I know Rach but I mean she went through some crazy shit last night...believe me I hate seeing her like this...but this is just how it is...that's...that's just Lucy.." Santana said sadly as everyone turned and looked at her. Santana never called her Lucy she always called her Q or Quinn bc that's what Lucy wanted but strangely enough it seemed like the Latina knew something they didn't " You know something...don't you ?" Frannie said looking at the tan girl " N-no...no I don't" Santana said hesitantly. Rachel looked at her " Your lying what do you know Santana ? " Rachel asked her curiously. " Alright fine" Santana said and looked at them.

Santana sat down on the couch and looked at them " When...when Q first moved here we kinda became instant friends at school we looked like enemies but outside of school we did everything together...trying and learning all kinds of new things...one day we were hanging out in my room after Cheerios practice...and she suggested we learn sign language...so we learned it...and whenever something is bothering one of us and we can't talk abt it out loud....we use sign language...so...last night...Q and I...talked..." Santana said " What do you mean you talked ?! What the fuck does sign language have to do with this ?!" Frannie asked growing annoyed with the young Latina " We talked...well we signed..when Quinn is upset she stops talking whenever something happens she stops talking you should know that you're her sister" Santana said glaring at the older Fabray. LeRory and Rachel sighed sensing the tension between the two.

Lucy sighed quietly as she pushed herself from underneath the car and over to Burt. No one had seen her sneak out of the house and hop onto Rachel's bike she didn't mind tho bc now she was at ' Hummel & Lube ' and well needles to say she was covered in car grease. The young blonde had been there for hours fixing cars with Burt Hummel and eating a small lunch with the man but now it was dark out " I enjoyed hanging out with you Quinn do you need a ride home ?" Burt asked the blonde " No...I rode Rachel's bike over.." Lucy told him softly " Oh no it's dark out I'll drive you okay ? Let me finish locking up first" Burt told the blonde as she nodded and he walked away.

Lucy looked at Burt as he drove her back to the Berry residence she'd debated telling the man abt how his son treated her at school  " Mr.Hummel ?..." Lucy said " I told you already Quinn call me Burt" the man said " Right sorry...I-..um..I wanted to say thanks" Lucy said not having it in herself to tell the man abt his son " It's no problem Quinn I had an amazing time with you today and I can't wait to taste one of your recipes" Burt told her and Lucy smiled softly " Maybe I'll come back tomorrow ? And bring us lunch" the blonde said looking at the man as he pulled into the Berry driveway " I would love that Quinn I'll see you tomorrow okay ?" Burt said hugging the blonde carefully. " Bye Burt see you tomorrow" Lucy said and hopped out of the truck and grabbed the bike off the back.

Carefully Lucy put the bike back where it belonged, unlocked the door and walked inside to instantly be met with loud voices then loud gasps. " Lucy Q where on earth have you been ?! You're covered in car grease !" Frannie said. The blonde sighed and signed to Santana " I'm fine I was at ' Hummel & Lube '. I've eaten already I was working on cars with Burt now I'm going to take a shower " Once the blonde was done she quickly went upstairs. " She said she's fine and she's been at ' Hummel & Lube ' and she was working on cars with Burt she's eaten and now she's going to take a shower" Santana told them and they all nodded slowly taking in the information.

Lucy put her now clean and dry hair up in a ponytail before sliding into bed and looked up as her door opened and Santana's head peaked in " Goodnight Q love you" Santana said softly and she smiled when her friend signed it back before closing the door. The blonde watched the tv and the more she watched the heavier her eyes got and before she knew she'd fallen asleep with her arms wrapped around the stuffed animal she'd gotten from Santana at the fair when they first met. Taking in the scent of her friend's perfume Lucy fell into an even deeper sleep.
