There is absolutely nothing beautiful about being broken. That's what Quinn decides after Rachel leaves her. After all, Rachel isn't the first to leave. First there was Finn, and then countless others – Sam, Puck, Joe, Santana, nameless boyfriends and girlfriends for years afterward…everyone leaves Quinn after a while.
And the funny thing is, everyone always told her she was beautiful because she was used, because she was broken. Lies.
Lies. Lies. Lies.
She is not broken because she was left – at least she doesn't think so. She always said she was a survivor, that out of all of them, she would make it, she would have a life. And then Rachel, the one other person who she thought would understand, left her behind.
She doesn't know if it would be worse if any of them talked to her. Because they don't. None of them, none of them talk to her. They pretend she doesn't exist. They avoid her.
Why?
She's the one who didn't break anyone – the others all broke each other, didn't they? Didn't they?
But they're together, they're standing, the rest of them are not broken. But Quinn is.
And there is nothing beautiful about it.
