A/N: takes place in S2 after Quinn slapped Rachel in the bathroom at prom where she was just minding her own business and Sebastian is in Ohio already.

It was two days after prom, and Rachel still couldn't hide or get rid of the hand print that Quinn gave her. She tried everything to do so but she couldn't, and she didn't want her dads to see it, and what makes it worse is that Finn didn't say anything to Quinn at all, and Finn was meant to be the male captain, the leader and protect everyone but he doesn't protect her, not even from Quinn and Santana and when she went to Mr. Schue and Principle Figgins they did nothing not even a detention or a telling off, it was only Sue that did something and that was being kicked off the cheerios.

Rachel was in her room placing more and more foundation on her face when her dad Hiram had knocked on her door to let her know that he and Leroy were home from their business trip. He and Leroy had walked in to hug her when they saw the hand print on her face that she was trying to hide.

They quickly rushed to their daughter's side and Hiram said

"What happened sweet Star?" And before Rachel could answer Leroy said

"Who did this to you. It was that St James boy or Finn wasn't it?" Rachel shook her head no and said

"It wasn't them dad and daddy." Rachel was unsure about telling them who it was. But she knew she couldn't keep it from them. Rachel took a deep breath and said

"It was Quinn. She did it at prom. She was in the bathroom the same time as me, and she slapped me for no reason at all. I tried tell Mr. Schue, and Principle Figgins but she got away with it, not even a detention or a telling off. The only person to do something was coach Sue, she kicked Quinn off the cheerios, now I'm terrified that she will blame me and hurt me again." Hiram and Leroy hugged their daughter as she cried, and hugged her even tighter when she said

"Please don't send me to school on Monday please don't you can home school me."

Meanwhile Sebastian was in the library with Hunter, Thad, Nick and Jeff studying for their up coming exam, when Trent rushed over to them full of worry and concern and quickly said to them mainly to his captain Sebastian

"We need to have an emerging Warbler meeting right now and I need to address them." The boys looked at their worried friend and Sebastian said

"Of course right away Trent. But what's going on?" Trent shook his head and said

"No time to explain right now. Just get the guys and meet me in the warbler room." Trent rushed to the warbler room bringing Wes and David by the hands with him.

Trent took Wes' gavel from him and placed it on the piano. Wes looked at him and said when every Warbler was in the room and Sebastian let him have the floor

"Trent what is going on. What's happened?" Trent took a deep breath, looked at them and said

"It's Rachel." Hunter was concerned for his cousin, and said

"What's wrong, is she okay, Blaine hasn't said anything." Trent looked at them all and then at Sebastian as Trent knew that their captain was in love with her.

"Quinn slapped her. Assaulted her in the bathroom at prom for no reason at all. When she went to her glee teacher and her principle they did nothing. Not even Finn and Jesse did anything, only the cheerio coach did something and that was kick Quinn off the cheerios." Thad was angry and said

"What the heck. Why does noone but us, Puckerman, Evans, Anderson and the cheerleading coach ever stand up for her?" Trent quickly turned to Thad and said

"Rachel is now worried that Quinn will blame her for getting kicked off the squad. We need to do something we need to protect her." The guys agreed and then started coming up with ideas when Sebastian said

"I actually have an idea. And Trent since you brought it to our attention about what happened. You can help and know the idea. But first we need to make a trip to see my future wife." Trent agreed and followed Sebastian out of the warbler room.

As they reached his car Sebastian and said

"How did you find out about it all?" Trent smiled at him and said

"My step sister Brittany told me because Quinn told her and Santana everything that happened at Prom, even what happened when Rachel told someone." Sebastian was surprised, he was even more surprised that his own cousin Sam didn't tell him, unless he didn't know what happened. As Sebastian drove, Trent suddenly remembered

"What's this plan and idea of yours Seb?" Sebastian quickly looked at Trent and then at the road and said

"Well my idea and plan is for Rachel to attend Crawford. Our sister school Trent. That way I and the other warblers know she's safe. And since we can't actually go to Crawford to enquire on her behalf, we are going to see her and her dads about it first." Trent was happy and agreed with Sebastian's plan, and said

"And then tell her how you feel?" Sebastian took a deep breath as he parked the car and said

"Not yet. I want her to trust me first and I want her safe first." Trent agreed and then walked up to the door.

Rachel slowly opened the door and was confused when she saw Sebastian and Trent on the other side.

"Sebastian, Trent what are you doing here?" As she asked that after opening the door, Trent and Sebastian saw the red mark on her tear stained face and Sebastian was angry. And Trent knowing this softy spoke

"We came to speak with you and your dad's. When Brittany told me what happened, I planned a warbler meeting, and Sebastian came up with this amazing idea, to help make sure you're safe and away from McKinley and Quinn." Rachel was nervous and let them in but she was intrigued by the idea Sebastian had.

Hiram and Leroy looked at each other and then at Trent and Sebastian walking with Rachel behind. And Hiram said

"Hello, I don't believe we have met you two. But what can we do for you both?" Sebastian took a deep breath and said

"I'm Sebastian Smythe, and this is Trent. We kinda want to talk to you both and Rachel about something." Leroy lead the boys to the kitchen table and said

"What about?" Trent spoke

"We heard what happened to Rachel at prom and when I told the warblers, we banded together to come up with ideas to help. And well Sebastian has a really good idea and it will ensure Rachel's safety." Hiram and Leroy were surprised and then looked at Sebastian and said

"Is this true, what's the idea, we are open to anything." Sebastian gave a nervous smile and said

"My idea is that she can attend Crawford. Dalton's sister school. And if money is an issue, Crawford do scholarships much like Dalton do." Hiram and Leroy were interested in the idea and Leroy asked Rachel

"What do you think Star? Would you like to attend there?" Rachel thought about it, and said

"I really would like too."

An hour later when Hiram rang Crawford and then told Rachel the news and after they all had dinner since Hiram and Leroy wouldn't let the two boys leave. Trent looked at Sebastian and said

"Someone is being a knight in shining armour. Is it time for her to know yet or not?" Sebastian shook his head no and said

"Not yet." Trent was curious and said

"When will you?" Sebastian shrugged his shoulders and said

"Only time will tell."

The following week, Sebastian pulled up outside of Rachel's place, and waited for Rachel. He smiled widely at her when he saw him waiting for her.

Rachel was shocked and said

"What are you doing here?" Sebastian smiled and said

"Figured you would have wanted a lift to your new school." Rachel accepted the offer, and got in his car.

When they reached Crawford, Rachel was nervous and Sebastian turned to her when he parked the car and said

"You'll be okay Broadway I promise. Trent put every warbler's number in your phone. You'll be accepted and appreciated here I promise." Rachel wanted to believe him. And Sebastian knew it was time. He leaned forward and kissed her, and to his surprise Rachel kissed back. And when they pulled apart, Sebastian said

"I love you, and you'll be okay I promise and after wards we can spend time together in the Lima Bean and you can tell me about your first day." Rachel kissed him once more and said

"I love you too. And I hope you're right. And I would love that."

Rachel kissed Sebastian, took deep breath and then walked inside the building. Where she was greeted by everyone, and she had something she never had before and that was real friends and she also managed to persuade the headmaster into having a show choir team which was approved.

When after school came Rachel travelled with her new friends to the Lima Bean, to meet up with the Dalton boys which was something Sebastian was happy about.

Rachel sat on Sebastian's lap and talked non stop about her first day and then said

"Thank you Seb." Rachel cuddled into Sebastian as she him and conversed into conversation with their friends, something which Quinn and Santana had hated because they could no longer torment Rachel, and Finn couldn't control her and Will and Figgins couldn't keep her in danger of the bullying from everyone because Rachel was safe and happy, and she had her boyfriend Sebastian, Trent and the warblers to thank for it and also Brittany for telling Trent what happened.
