The first person who greeted me was Noah. He wrapped his arms around me. He gave me a hug.

"Rachel, you okay?" I heard. I looked to my left to see Mr. Shuester standing there.

"Yeah. I guess." I said. I really don't know what to say to that question. I am not okay. I hate this place. But I will not leave.

"We will figure out who did this. They will not get away with it." He told me.

"Thank- you. Every one of you." I said.

"Always Rachel. That is what family is for. We will always be here for you. No matter what." Quinn said to me.

"I know." I said.

"No one understands what this club is about. All they see is losers and out casts. So, they pick on us. I don't get it. How do they think that was funny? That was just cruel. They finally went too far. Do they know that?" Mercedes asked.

She was saying the truth. The students here don't get what this club is. This club is a place where you can be yourself. No judges. We are a family here. A messed-up family. But still something no other club or group has. I just wish this school understanded.

"I have no clue. But one thing is that they did take it too far and I am not okay with it. I am finally had enough of how this school treats you guys." Mr. Shuester said.

Then the bell rang. I really didn't want to go out there. I then looked over to Mr. Shuester. He gave me a small smile. I smiled back at him. I do want to stay somewhere safe. But I must face the fact. I can't show them my fear. I am stronger than that.

"Rachel, if you want. We can cover for you." Santana said.

"No. I am Rachel Berry. I can do this. They will not bring me down. I will be a star. No star will back down. If I have my family behind me. I will be fine." I told them.

I then stood up and fixed myself a little bit. I took a breath in and let it out. I straighten my back and put my head up high. I am Rachel Berry, I can do this. Then I turned to the others and smiled. I grabbed my things and headed out.

*Puck's POV*

"There she is. She is back. Who says this school broke her? Still the strongest one here." I said.

I am proud of my girl. She will not let them see her fear or weakness. She will show them. She will be going somewhere. I know it. Then we followed her out. I am ready for this day to end.
