Chapter Text
Quinn sat in class it had been three weeks sense she had been kicked out of her last foster home. Her new foster parents were no different form her last ones. They made her work hard she had no idea why she knew her grades were slipping. She had no time to do homework. She hadn’t eaten much in three weeks. Nor had she slept. She had stolen some Oreos from Mr. Schue’s desk and Finn’s lunch from his locker. She had wolfed down the Oreos but had taken Finn's lunch to her foster brothers to have. No One knew Quinn was a foster kid she always got good grades. And kept it a secret. This new family was making it hard for her to function in school. Plus her stomach hurt so bad from the beating she took last night.
"Quinn see me after class." Will Schuester told her placing the test on her desk.
Finn grabbed her test paper, "An F? Quinn Fabray got an F?" He said joking with her but serious at the same time. Quinn turned around and slapped him across the face she ran out of the class in tears she would not have done that if she was in her right mind. She sank down against a wall and sobbed. Her life was falling apart. She couldn’t do anything if it didn’t stop she would be dead.
Finn appeared in front of her
"Finn, I'm so sorry."
"Quinn, what is going on?"
"I need help Finn."
“Quinn what is wrong?”
“Nothing I’m fine.”
“You don’t look fine. You’re getting thinner. You look like you haven’t slept in weeks. Is everything okay?”
“Nothing okay just don’t worry. “Quinn said getting up if anyone found out Quinn knew she would get a beat down from her new family. It wouldn't make any difference she always got a beating. Her foster families were always mean. They never wanted a kid to love they wanted a kid to hit or just to get a paycheck. Some would use the money on their kids or use it on them. Quinn just wanted somebody to love her.
“Miss Fabray my office.” Principal Figgins told her
Quinn went to his office to see Mr Shue, Miss Pillsbury Sue and Shelby Corcoran she was there because she knew the family Quinn was living with. They had done the same thing to one of her students a year ago.
“Quinn we are concerned about you. “Sue said
“Don’t be I’m fine. I’m just dealing with crap right now. I’ll get the stupid grade up okay just get off my back.” Quinn snapped
“Quinn this isn’t like you what’s going on?” Will said to the teenager whom looked thinner and exhausted.
“Get off my back I’m fine.” Quinn said trying not to cry.
“Quinn, we know you’re a straight A student. This work isn’t you. Principal Figgins said holding up all of her work
“Why haven’t you been wearing your cheerios uniform?”
“Maybe because its sucks like you.”
"Quinn" Will replied
Quinn wiped the tears that were forming in her eyes she wanted help but was so afraid. She was afraid of what they would do.
"I don’t need anyone okay? I'm fine I’ll make up the stupid work. I’ll wear the uniform “Quinn said reaching for the failed assignments and tests.
Realizing she had flashed her arm with all the bruises she pulled
her arm back and pulled the sweater down over her arm.
"Quinn let me see your arm." Sue replied
"No. I'm fine. I fell. Don't worry. "Quinn told them her stomach felt completely sick she felt dizzy
"Quinn can you show me your arms?" Sue asked
"Quinn is there something wrong with your stomach?" Emma asked.
"I can’t do this i have to go." Quinn said running out of the office she got out of the clear and passed out.
"QUINN!" Puck yelled as he got to his knees.
"Help someone help. “Puck yelled
The adults in the office came running as did other students
Quinn tried to stand only collapsing again
"Figgins had called home to Quinn's house and was told everything. By her last foster family. The adults realized Quinn was in danger of dying or being killed by her abusers
Quinn kept trying to get up
"Puck help me up."
"Quinn, just lay there and rest."
"No, I have to go. Help me up Puckerman."
"Quinn, Honey just lay still." Emma told her realizing how weak Quinn really was
"No if I’m not home I will get hurt. No I have to go."
Quinn said sobbing.
"Quinn it will be okay." Shelby told her.
"No it won’t. It won’t be okay. I can't do this anymore. Please help me I'm so tired. So hungry. I hurt so bad. I don't want this anymore." Quinn said
"Quinn. You are going to be okay. Just relax." Emma told her as Will and Sue escorted students back into their class rooms.
"Please don’t hurt me.” Quinn said
“No one is going to hurt you Quinn.” Shelby told her as Quinn just laid on the ground crying.
Puck and Emma rubbed her back.
Paramedics came they stabilized Quinn and took her to the hospital.
“What do we have?”
fifteen year old girl multiple bruises. Suffering from hunger and exhaustion.”
“Okay on my count lift.”
The doctors lifted Quinn onto the other bed.
“No, don’t hurt me I have to go I have to go. I can’t be late stop hurting me.”
“Quinn they are helping you.” Shelby said
“No I have to go. I have to get the boys. I have to go home and clean and make dinner than help the boys. Please if I’m not home they will make sure I pay.”
Quinn was losing blood, a lot of it, and the doctor ordered the phlebotomist to start a blood transfusion. , and when Quinn tried to sit up to let them place the IV her blood pressure plummeted. Quinn passed out.
“Get an IV get me some O2 stat “
Quinn returned to consciousness
”What is your name sweetheart.”
“Quinn, please don’t hurt me.”
“Quinn, we are going to take care of you. Can you tell me where you hurt?”
“Tired. Hungry. Everything hurts. Don’t want to go back to the foster home. Help me. “Quinn mumbled closing her eyes. An oxygen mask was placed over her, and again Quinn lost consciousness. This time not waking up.
The doctor started calling out things to do.
“How did she function she”- the doctor stopped talking he remembered a boy who had been in the same position last year. He turned to Shelby and asked she confirmed it.
The doctors started to treat Quinn. Realizing her abdomen was filled with blood. She was rushed into surgery.
