A/N- After seeing the spoilers and the promo for "On My Way" I came up with this. There is a possibility of me continuing this if people want me to. Leave a review if that is the case. First fanfiction ever, so reviews and constructive criticism are appreciated. Enjoy :)
A/N 2- In this story, Quinn is already aware that she is gay, and in love with Rachel
THIS MOMENT
"Finn and I are finally getting married."
Finn and I.
Married. Those words echoed over and over again in my head. It had been one week since the big announcement during glee, and I still hadn't wrapped my head around it. I had been confident that my talk would have changed her mind. She wouldn't just throw away her dreams for the teen giant, would she? I heard a slight buzz to my right and saw my phone lighting up.
From Rachel: Hello Quinn, I'm hoping that you have changed your opinion about my upcoming nuptials because the fittings for the wedding party are tomorrow. I want you to be my maid of honor. I know this is probably surprising but I regard you as a close friend now that we have settled our differences. We moved the date of the wedding to next week, so let me know.
I struggled to contain the bile rising in my throat. How was I supposed to stand next to the girl I love and watch her marry somebody else? Still, I had to be there for her in any way I could.
To Rachel: I would be honored to be your maid of honor ;) I'll be there. Just text me the address.
I shut my phone off so that I wouldn't have to hear about Finn and her wedding plans. My head was pounding and my eyes were burning from lack of sleep. Black was beginning to cloud my vision, and before I knew it, I was unconscious.
The next day I pulled up to David's Bridal and pulled the key out of the ignition. I swung open the door to the store and the small bell hanging on the door rung out.
A tall woman walked up to me and said, "You must be Quinn, all the other girls are in the back." I nodded my head and followed the woman to the dressing room. Santana, Brittany, Sugar, Mercedes, and Tina were all goofing off in their light pink dresses.
"Bout time Fabray!" Santana called out. Brittany rushed over and hugged me, while the others just waved hello.
"Where's Rachel?" I asked.
"Right here," said a voice from behind me. I turned around and exhaled. Rachel looked stunning in a floor length white dress with a veil clipped to the back of her hair. Her bangs were pulled back off her face, while her hair was in a loose bun. She had never looked more beautiful in my eyes.
"Rach," I breathed out, "You look gorgeous." She blushed and ducked her head down.
"Damn girl, you look fine!" Mercedes cheered. Tina and Sugar nodded their approval while Santana stood there with a smirk on her face. Brittany jumped up and down clapping and enveloped Rachel in a hug. Suddenly, "Without You" rang out. Rachel wormed her way out of Brittany's arms and dug through her purse.
"Hey Finn!" she said enthusiastically. She held up her finger and walked to the corner of the room so she could speak privately. My heart dropped to my toes. I felt my knees go weak and I flopped onto the nearest chair. Santana eyed me curiously. She crossed the room and bent down to look me in the eyes.
"What's up Q?" I shook my head at her. How was I supposed to tell her that I was in love with Rachel?
"I know something is going on, so you had better tell me before I go all Lima Heights on your ass."
I sighed and said, "I'm not in the mood for your fake bad ass attitude right now Santana."
"Damn, something is really wrong with you. Does it have anything to do with the fact that Berry is on the phone with Finn?"
"Fine, I'm in love with Rachel Berry and I think this wedding is a huge mistake. She's throwing everything away for that fool. He can't even remember the fact that she's a vegan! I can't stand to see her be with him, but there is nothing I can do about it." I choked out. Santana looked at me with empathy in her eyes.
"Look Q, I almost lost B because I took so long to say how I felt. You can't let her marry him. Taylor Swift this shit! Don't be the one that let the girl get away. I won't let you. You are Quinn freaking Fabray. You don't give up. Now get off your ass, march over to her, and tell her how you feel. I know you can do this."
I got up off the couch and grabbed her. "Thank you," I whispered. Just then Rachel stepped back into the room with a slight frown on her face. I looked at her, and back at Santana trying to communicate through my eyes. Get everyone out of here. She seemed to understand what I was saying.
"Alright girls, who wants to go get some dinner at Breadstix?" They all said yes and followed her out of the room. Right before she left, she looked back at me, winked, and mouthed "Go get her." I took a breath and set my jaw. I had to do this. She was mine to have, not his.
"Rachel I wanted to talk to you about something important," I began.
"Do you think Finn will like the dress?" she mused as she looked at her reflection, completely oblivious. I reached for her wrist and gently pulled her around to face me. Her eyes softened as she looked at me. "Sorry Quinn, I'm being rude. I just want this to go well."
"Rach, you are breathtaking. But that's not what I want to talk to you about. Can I have a minute of your attention?" When she sat down on the couch, I assumed I should continue.
"I don't really know how to say this, so I'm just going to jump right in. Don't marry Finn. Don't throw away everything you've ever worked for because of some guy. You deserve so much more than him. I don't care if he follows you to New York; he's just going to drag you down. He doesn't love you the way you should be loved. He isn't good for you."
Her eyes were saucers. She didn't move, didn't blink, and didn't breathe. Finally, she rose shakily to her feet and glared at me with a cold fury that would put the Devil himself to shame.
"How DARE you say these things to me!" she shrieked. She stormed up to me and slapped me right across the face. "I can't believe you would come here, and insult my relationship. Finn does love me, and I love him. We are going to get married and move to New York together. We can make it, no matter what you, or anybody thinks!"
"Who are you trying to convince? Me or you!" I spat out.
"I cannot believe you right now. I thought we had settled our differences, but I suppose not."
"I'm not gonna stand around, and watch you ruin your life by marrying Finn Hudson. You aren't right for each other."
"I'm not talking to you anymore, I want you to leave. You aren't invited to the wedding Quinn. Don't even try to get in. We're no longer friends."
"Dammit Rachel! Would you just listen to me?"
She huffed indignantly. "Why should I? Why do you even care this much, even Kurt has stopped attempting to convince me to call it off. So why, are you of all people so hell bent on stopping this?" She stomped her foot as she stared at me.
"Because I'm in love with you! I know it sounds crazy, but I've been in love with since freshmen year when you showed up at school in a fuzzy sweater and sinfully short skirt. You amaze me Rachel Berry, and I want you to choose me. Please, just, choose me."
With that I grabbed her around the waist and pulled her mouth to mine. I latched on and glided my mouth over hers, trying to get her to respond. I gently sucked on her bottom lip. Her eyes fluttered shut and she threw her arms around my neck, deepening the kiss. I let out a moan and pulled her closer.
Her tongue darted out between my lips, asking for entrance that I immediately granted. Her lips tasted like Strawberry Smackers. Our tongues began to duel and she whimpered when I overpowered her. I felt her knot her hands in my hair as tried to pull our bodies even closer together. Our breath mingled, our tongues fought, our lips danced, and it was perfect.
She pulled away and kissed her way down my jaw and onto my neck. I panted, trying to catch my breath. My heart was pounding. I groaned when she started sucking on my neck, then biting it. I pulled her head back up and kissed her all over again.
I vaguely heard a bell ringing out, and then her body ripped away from mine. My eyes blinked open in confusion. She was straightening her hair and clothes out. "Rach," I started "What-"
"Hello Finn," she said- cutting me off. I whipped around and saw Finn standing there with a rose in his hand.
"Oh wow, you look really good babe," He lumbered over to her and gave her a hug, although it looked more like he was trying to crush her in his huge arms. "Quinn, what are you still doing here, I thought everybody left?"
"Well, Rachel and I were just-"
"Just talking about her duties as the maid of honor," Rachel interrupted.
"Oh well that's cool. I'm just gonna go sit in the truck and wait for you babe. Hurry up though; I want to get home to watch the game." He stooped down and kissed her cheek before he left the store. I waited until he left before I smiled at Rachel.
"That was close, I wouldn't him to find out about you cancelling the wedding that way. Even if I don't like him very much, I do want to cause him any unnecessary pain." Rachel peeled her gaze away from the door and looked at me with tears beginning to form in her eyes.
"Quinn, I can't. I can't break it off." My heart shattered into a thousand pieces, I swear I could hear it breaking.
"Yes you can! He means nothing. We just kissed, I said I love you. You have to call it off. Please. You can't tell me what we just did meant nothing, that you don't feel anything." I whimpered out the last part. I was using all my strength not to break down right there.
"I'm so sorry Quinn. I just can't. Finn and I belong together. I love him. Even if I do have feelings for you, I'm not going to throw what I have with him away."
As soon as the words left her mouth I grabbed my purse and ran out the door. I threw my car door open and put it in reverse. She barreled out of the store, yelling my name. I shifted gears and pulled out of the parking lot. I could see her running behind me, waving her arms and screaming for me to stop, but I couldn't face her. I drove and drove, tears fogging my vision. She chose him over me. She didn't love me. She was getting married to somebody else. I couldn't breathe. I slammed on my brakes and doubled over in pain. Rain was pounding against the car.
I heard a screeching of tires to my left, I looked up to see a truck spinning out of control straight towards me. I was frozen. Then, the car made impact. I slammed forward into the dash, glass shattering, and blood spurting.
Oh god, everything hurt. I couldn't see. Light was being flashed in my eyes. I could hear voices yelling out.
"Rachel….need Rachel," I whimpered. Then the world went black.
TBC?
