Chapter 1 : Implode
Quinn Fabray had been the popular girl at school since ever, but the tables had turned and now she was at the bottom. Everything had started with Noah Puckerman, the bad boy of McKinley who made her drink and made her sleep with him. She ended up pregnant, kicked out of the cheerios by Coach Sylvester, then out of the house by her parents. She even had been slushied and at the end she had to give Beth away to Rachel Berry biological mother, Shelby Corcoran. And since that day she never heard about Beth anymore. And it was driving her insane, truly she felt broken. But she decided to keep her head high and tried to crawl back at the top again. And she did it, for few weeks she pretended that she never been pregnant in the first place, never been kicked out and it felt good. Awesome even. But memories of Beth and the way she had spent her Sophomore year at high school was trying to eat her alive at night. For months she tried to forget, she was back to her home, with her mom. Russell Fabray was out of their lives. She was head cheerleader again but after dating Sam and cheated on him with Finn, she decided it was better to leave the cheerios and stay in Glee Club only. Because she liked being there, it was the only thing that made her feel something. She didn't know if it was because she felt close to the group, because of the music or even because of Rachel Berry voice, but she liked it. And it was the only piece of joy she had at the moment. But in the end, it didn't lasted. Again.
Few weeks before the end of the school year, Finn broke up with her and she felt awful, she felt sick, not because she was heartbroken – well she was a little – but it was more because she felt like everything she fighted to win back was going away again. And the worst part is that Finn Hudson broke up with her after a funeral, and it kind of sucked. Because everyone knew at school and she felt like they were all talking about her all the time as she passed in the halls.
Then they went to New York for Nationals and they lost, because of her damn ex-boyfriend and Rachel Berry. They kissed at a fuckin' competition in front of thousand people, and it was so not professional that she tried her best to not walk toward them and snap their necks.
Then the last day of school arrived and what she didn't know yet it was that her life was going to take a 360° turn and she was going to step into hell.
Quinn was sit on a bench in the park, it was 3 AM, but she didn't cared. She didn't wanted to be at home. She chuckled at the word 'home', it made her laugh and sick, because it was not her home anymore. I was the end of summer, but night was not too hot or too cold, it felt good to be outisde. Once Quinn Fabray though she had hit rock bottom after all that happened the last two years, but what happened during the summer was worst than all that fucking two long years of crying, of hating and fake smiles.
She was looking at the stars in the sky, she loved listening to the quiet night, only the sound of the wind in the distance. It was like reaching peace, trying at least. It was wonderful, but she needed to be home before the sunrise, or she was going to see the fury of Russell Fabray.
Yes, her father was back, not because her mother wanted him to come back, but because Quinn had no other choice than to live with him. She was not 18 yet, but in few months she will. And she couldn't wait to reach that age and finally tell her father to fuck off and live free. Freedom was what Quinn wished the most, because life at home with Russell felt like she was being held in hostage with a complete stranger working for the mafia or something. It was pure torture.
During the summer she had seen no one, she stayed in her room for 3 weeks doing nothing. At first Santana and Brittany tried to contact her, but she never answered her phone and after a week and half they just stopped calling. After that for 4 days no one tried to contact her, and she was okay with it. She wanted to be alone and forget that there was still some people that she cared about. Then a Wednesday night Rachel called her. Quinn stayed looking at the screen of her phone flashing Rachel's name. After five rings she felt like she wanted to answer her, but when she was two seconds away to accept the call the phone stopped ringing. After that, no one until the end of the summer tried to reach her.
Russell was always yelling at her to do something with her life, to go to church with him every Sunday, to make him dinner, to be a perfect christian little girl. And when she refused to go to church, he always played the same card: Her mom's death.
The guilt was eating Quinn inside out, she felt like she was slowly losing all her blood from an open wound, slowly dying. At first she thought she was just in a bad dream and she prayed to wake up, for someone to tell her that this was just a sick joke, but after 2 weeks everything that have happened was still the same. The funeral of her mom had been real, people saying that they were sorry for the lost had been real too. But Quinn knew that people didn't cared. It was just to be polite, because it was the right thing to do.
She had been forced to stand there and face those people, to nod politely and say thank you. Thank you for what ? Thanks for pretending your care ? It was all fake. It made her want to bang her head into the nearest wall and fall into a deep sleep for the next 30 years. She was surprised to see that the whole the Glee Club came, even Mr Schuester and Emma Pillsbury.
Each member of the Glee passed to tell her and her father that they were really sorry. Quinn only nodded, thanked them politely (because again it was the right thing to do). She just wanted this day to be over and lay in her bed.
Santana and Brittany were attached at the hip when they faced her first, Santana eyes where red from crying but she just hugged her and waited for Brittany to join the hug. Then came Puck who hugged her quickly and smiled a sad smile. It was always awkward to see him, not because she still felt something for him but because it brought back all the memories and feelings from having Beth and gave her away. Tina and Mike hugged her too, then Artie wheeled to her. Finn looked at her with a sad smile and patted her shoulder, Quinn tensed at the touch. Mr Schue and Emma sayed their sorry and walked away supporting each other. All of this was awkward for Quinn.
The last person was Rachel Berry, who walked slowly until she was in front of her. First she looked at Russell Fabray and smiled politely, held his hand (even if her father had a repulsed face for being so close to someone from the Berry family). Quinn was feeling tired of this, she was looking at the floor when Rachel placed herself in front of her. She waited for Quinn to look at her, but the blonde couldn't and didn't. So Rachel reached for her arm and held her a second with a tight grip. Quinn felt like shocking into the air she was breathing. She slowly looked at the girl in front of her. And what she saw caught her off guard. Rachel brown eyes were full of concern, pain and something warm that made Quinn feel like everything was going to be okay. Quinn just stared at her for a minute, until Rachel spoke in a small voice filled with sadness.
"I'm so sorry Quinn." Quinn only blinked at her, not moving an inch. Rachel slowly moved her hand, carressed Quinn's arm slightly. Quinn's eyes grew wide for a minute.
"Thank you Rachel " she finaly said. Rachel smiled a little at her then moved to join her dads who where waiting for her. Quinn looked at her and felt something stir in the pit of her stomach.
After that Quinn spent her days on her room looking at the wall in front of her, not eating and not even moving. At night she rolled to the side of the bed and cried her eyes out. Judy Fabray had never been the perfect mom, she knew it, but the difference between her and Russell was that Judy cared about Quinn. Her mother only acted the way she had because of him. The few weeks she lived into the house with only her mom had been awkward at first but then they fell into a daily routine who was warm and normal for once. Living in this house had for the first time felt nice.
But the night of the accident changed everything.
Everyday Quinn was living that night again and again.
Judy and Quinn had decided to go eat something at breadstix, they were trying to reconnect with each other and Quinn felt happy to have her mom back. They had a nice time and now they were driving home, the radio was on and they where singing to a Katy Perry song. Quinn was having a nice time, she felt at ease and happy. It was totally new for them so they were just relieved to let all of those new feelings enter into their life. Then a quick moment changed everything. A second, the time of a grain of sand to fall into the ground, a second where Quinn's heart missed a beat, where she felt that the wind was turning. The sick game of death and life went into action and everything that was near them totally blewed up and crashed.
The only thing Quinn remember was waking up laying on the cold floor of the road, it was raining now and she couldn't see a thing. Her body was screaming in agony at her, she couldn't move. She tried to move her hand and touch her face where the rain was blinding her but she couldn't. It hurted her to even move one of her fingers. After a minute that felt like a year she finally managed to move her head to the side and she saw her mom on the floor. Her front head full of blood, Quinn's stomach twisted in a way that made her shiver.
" Mom..." was the only word Quinn said before she fell into the darkness.
When she opened her eyes again, she was in a white and bright room where the smell was intoxicating her lungs. She couldn't hear a thing but she felt someone in the room with her, she tried to look around her but she only saw her father's head before she fell unconscious again.
