Just hold me || A Finchel Love Story

Chapter 1 | Jesses Girl.

Rachel's POV

Hi, I'm Rachel Berry a junior at McKinley. I have a fairly good life with my amazing best friend, Finn. My two dads and um... oh yeah! My boyfriend Jesse. Jesse is a character I guess you could put it. He transferred to McKinley for me which was really sweet but after awhile our relationship has been a bit rocky. He's been quite harsh and well.. he's been a bit abusive. But you can't tell anyone! Not my dads, not Finn, no one! It will just make things worse. Anyways I've got to get to school. I'm gonna be late!

"Bye dads! Jesse's picking me up." I say running down the stairs.

"Bye sweetie. Hurry your already late!" My dad Leroy reminds me.

I run outside to see Jesses car already parked. I jump in and put my seatbelt on.

"Your late." Jesse states.

"I know I'm sorry I was talking to my dads and-."

I get cut off by his hand meeting my face.

"Don't be late again or you'll have to walk." He threatens pointing his finger at me.

I just stay silent cause I don't want to say anything else to upset him. My face stings but I'll have to deal with it for now.

We've finally arrived at school and me and Jesse go our separate ways. He's a senior so we don't have any classes together. I walk up the hallways and open my locker.

"Hey Rach!" A hear a familiar voice say.

I peer from my locker door and see Finn standing there.

"Hey!" I say back.

"Oh my gosh Rach, are you okay?" Finn asks. "You've got a massive bruise on your face!"

I quickly shoot my hands to my cheek and think of an excuse.

"Oh that! I got hit by a ball at the park on Sunday. Must of bruised up!" I say, quickly shutting my locker and starting to walk away.

He quickly catches up with me. Gosh I forgot we have all of our classes together!

"Rachel, Ive known you since we were 5. Somethings up." He says in a serious tone.

"Nothings up Finn! I'm fine!" I snap at him.

"Alright, alright. Just making sure!" He puts his hands up in surrender. "Are you still coming round to my house tonight? My mom really misses you."

"Of course, I love your mom!" I reassure him.

"What about me?" He says sticking his bottom lip.

"Oh yeah! I guess you too." I joke.

"Awh, how sweet." Finn says opening the door, leading me into our history class.

"Ah! Mr Hudson. Miss Berry. How nice of you to join us!" Mr Schue sarcastically exclaims.

"Sorry were late." I mumble.

"Just go and take a seat." He says.

I take a seat next to Finn and Mr Schue starts the lesson.

*time skip to lunch*

"Hey guys!" I say to the whole glee club at the lunch table.

"Hey Rachel! Where's Jesse?" Kurt asks. "Not that I'm disappointed. He's so annoying."

"Kurt stop being rude! He's over there with his friends." I reply.

"Thank god! I don't think I can handle his criticism today." Mercedes adds.

"Guys stop! You shouldn't be talking about him like that!" I exclaim.

"Why not? He's so rude to us and never has anything nice to say." Finn argues.
