Rachel was a wreck, in simple terms. She was tired of feeling this way, of feeling so empty. For the past few months, Noah Puckerman was her world. She was head over heels, crazy, stupid in love with a boy who could never treat her the way a loved one should be treated. He walked all over her and constantly ripped her heart from right out of her chest. All she felt right now was regret. She should’ve never gotten involved with him. She should’ve never let herself fall for McKinley’s bad boy. Rachel knew it was trouble from the start, but he had her so under his spell. She was a fool for him. She pretty much hated herself right now for falling into his trap. Self pity mixed with pain and heartbreak is a dangerous combination.
Without a second thought, she heads downstairs to her fathers’ liquor cabinet. They never leave it locked, because she’s a good girl who does as she’s told. Little Rachel Berry would never do something as risky as grab a full bottle of vodka and bring them back up to her room with her. Rachel Berry would never sit there, fighting back her tears as she downed the bottle. Rachel Berry would never black out. She would never be found by her fathers only twenty minutes later when they came in to say goodnight, completely passed out on the floor, shattered glass from the bottle splayed out around her body. She’d never be rushed to the hospital in the back of an ambulance. Her Blood Alcohol level would’ve never been above a 0.08. She most certainly would’ve never had to get her stomach pumped. Maybe that Rachel was gone. She was just an empty shell of herself, lying in a hospital bed, still asleep, her fathers at her side.
