I do not own Glee or any of the shows Character

Chapter 1 - I love Rachel Berry

"He chose me over you."

"And how long did that last for?"

"Why are you being so mean?"

These words clouded Quinn's mind after the argument with Rachel, she didn't realize how much she had hurt the talented brunette until later on that night. Now Quinn laid on her bed with tears welling up in her hazel eyes. She hadn't expected for Rachel to ask about Finn and she hadn't intended to hurt Rachel with her spiteful words. Quinn would never admit to anyone the real reason she had pushed Rachel away. It was to make it clear that Finn wouldn't come back into Rachel's arms and Rachel could go to New York and become famous without a dumb sack of meat holding her back.

"I love Rachel Berry."

Quinn's shoulder sagged slightly and she let out a deep breath. These words had never tumbled out of Quinn's mouth before and she never thought she would speak them about Rachel. She didn't know what it was about her, maybe it was that she made her feel something. Not the numbness she had become accustomed to or annoyance that Finn often brought but it was something else.

Quinn had been out to Rachel's party. After the break-up with Sam leaving her ego largely bruised she allowed herself to be convinced by Britney (With many pouts) to go to Berry's. Quinn immediate reaction after seeing Rachel's dress was the prediction that the party would be a dud. This is where it all began.


"Hey girlfriend, having fun?" Rachel asked, her brunette hair is soft ringlets laying down her back and over her shoulders.

"Yeah... Awesome party..."

Rachel saw the hurt hiding deep within the blondes eyes as Quinn looked past her slender shoulder she could see Sam having a passionate make out session with Santana. Rachel opened her mouth to speak but couldn't think of anything comforting to say before the blonde brushed past her and to the other side of the room. Rachel's frowned slightly at this, everything was supposed to be light and fun and she had planned everything out perfectly, or so she thought. She bought wine coolers because she knew Quinn enjoyed them and she attempted to help with the Sam situation by not inviting Santana.

It would have worked if the Latina hadn't arrived on her doorstep and breezed right in.

Quinn stood in the room awkwardly, her back leaning against Rachel's mini bar, but she listened intently as she heard Puck trying to convince Rachel to break out the alcohol. Quinn's eyebrow peaked with delight as she thought of getting something with vodka in her. Of coarse Quinn wouldn't take a risk with wine coolers again, especially with Puck in the same room.

"God why did she wear that disgusting excuse for a dress." Quinn said out loud, speaking to Britney who leaned beside her. Usually she could count on Santana for a bit of amusing feedback with judging Berry's toddler/Old lady style but their friendship didn't seem existent.

"I think its kind of cute, in a house on the prairie kind of way." Britney replied back to Quinn with an adorably sincere smile, earning herself a soft laugh from Quinn.

Britney maybe wasn't the smartest girl but she was probably one of the most genuinely sweet and nice girls at McKinley, although she had a knack for saying what was exactly on her mind.

Quinn felt her heart sink into her chest a little as Britney left her side to return to Artie, and took notice to the couple and a couple others grouping near the bottom of the steps.

"Good idea." Quinn sighed, feeling her shoulders sag with relief. This party had been unsurprisingly boring, not to mention the last thing that she wanted to be at. Seeing Santana and Sam together invoked the desire to leave even further.

With another troubled sigh Quinn walked towards Rachel, trying to think up a quick excuse to leave.

To feed her cat maybe?... No she didn't have a cat... But Britney did... Well, that was good enough for her.

Quinn neared the brunette, gaze trying to meet something besides the awful dress Rachel wore that sagged down to the floor and made Quinn think of the movie 'The Exorcist'. Quinn could already picture projectile vomiting and it instantly reminded her of the color of the pea shaded dress.

"Uhhh.. Rac-" Quinn began to speak.

"Lets PARTY!" Rachel shouted suddenly.


It had been around five minutes later, after Rachel's dads liquor cabinet had been opened (Thanks to Puck) and the music was cranked that the party finally began. After only a couple drinks Santana had begun taking shots off the adorable blonde Britney while Mercades and Tina were laughing hysterically at a joke about monkeys and Kurt and Blaine were dancing to the music, putting all of them to shame.

Rachel had just swallowed the last mouthful of her second wine cooler, her eyes glazing over slightly as she began talking to Finn. She laid her head on his shoulder in an affectionate gesture. Finn had a teddybear like quality he was soft and oh so cuddly.

Rachel blanked out for a minute as Finn spoke but heard Finn refer to her as the 'Needy girl drunk' Rachel's head perked up, a bewildered look on her face for a moment but she slowly stood up, a small smile crossing her face"What kind of girl is this?"

"Lets play spin the bottle, who wants to play spin the bottle?" Rachel flashed Finn a drunken smile, "Spin the bottle!"

Now with Rachel's loud announcement of spin the bottle each glee member sat down in a circle and took their turn spinning the bottle. It began inocently enough with Britney and Sam, a simple light kiss then moved onto a a resistant Finn and Zisis who barely brushed lips. Next was Kurt and Artie, a light kiss on the cheek from Artie and Santana with Britney who shared a sloppy but intense kiss.

It was Quinn's turn and she had very little composure left. She had watched her ex boyfriend kiss a gorgeous blonde that wasn't her, the last straw would be for herself to kiss a dork like Berry or Artie.

Quinn began to stand, attempting to walk with any dignity she had left but she tripped, her landing less than graceful had she fell on her hands and knees on the floor. She earned some drunken giggles from Mercades and Tina, followed by laughs from Puck and even Finn.

"Shut up losers" Quinn mumbled angrily giving them cold daggers with her eyes, the laughter immediately stopping.

She sat between Rachel and Sam, being passed a wine cooler by Rachel she took a swallow.

"Quinn how are you enjoying the refreshment? They are so tasty and you know and did you know that wine is the fermented juice of grapes. Only one species of grape vi-.?"

Quinn placed her hand quickly over Rachel's mouth and took it off after Rachel stopped mumbling against her palm.

"Please stop talking."

Rachel flashed her 1000 watt smile, her bright eyes twinkling from the mix of alcohol and seeing the excitement of the kisses.

"I guess it's my turn to play this stupid game." Quinn sighed heavily before taking the bottle with her hand and twisting her hand, letting the bottle circling around on the floor. Quinn silently prayed that she would get to kiss Sam and make him realize what she was missing.

The bottle spun for what seemed an eternity before landing on Sam, now it was time to claim her prize.

"Hell no, those plump lips are mine, and Santana gets what she wants." Santana broke in, glaring heatedly at Quinn, the glee club practically seeing horns sprout from her head.

"Santana it's just a game" Quinn defended with a smile, but she figured that Santana knew exactly what she wanted.

"No honey, you're just a game, you know why stretchmarks? Puck had you, Finn had you, and Sam had you, they don't want those mosquito bites." Santana fumed, an evil smile on her face.

"What the hell Santana." Sam spoke out, everyone else remaining silent. "That's not cool!"

Quinn's smile faltered, her bottom lip quivering slightly but she wasn't going to do this, no way she was going to cry infront of them.

"Whatever." Quinn said, standing up and running up the stairs of Rachel's basement, leaving the awkward silence that had developed downstairs. Quinn slowed down, only to open the front door and head down Rachel's walkway to her car.

"Quinn wait!"

Quinn felt someone grasp her lower arm, it wasn't a rough hand belonging to a boy but someone with a softer touch.

She recognized the voice and slowly turned, her teary eyes softening slightly.

"Stubbles... what do you want?" Quinn asked with a sigh, not even in the mood to insult Rachel.

"Quinn I know Santana hurt your feelings, but you have nothing to be ashamed about, I'm sure she is just jealous, you are smart, beautiful and had Sam and she is just trying to make you feel as bad as she feels, which is probably insanely shamed."

Quinn's heart melted slightly, it was rare that she was told she was smart or beautiful. The boys usually told her she was beautiful by staring at her chest or legs until she saw drool.

Rachel had been drinking but Quinn would take any compliment or kind words that she could.

"I-I uhhh... thanks Berry." She said, a very faint smile crossing her face, not sure how to respond.

"Listen Quinn, it is late and I think we have both had too much to drink." Rachel giggled before continuing on, "If you would stay you can sleep in my room for the night you could leave whenever you want to tomorrow." Rachel offered, not realizing her hand was still on Quinn's soft arm.

Quinn looked at the brunette's eyes, seeing the genuine kindness and simply nodded in agreement. Rachel's eyes looked at hers, soulful brown puppy dog eyes. How could Quinn say no?

"Great!" Rachel said again with her 1000 watt smile and tugged on Quinn's arm, leading her back into the house and up the stairs to her bedroom.

Quinn's mouth dropped as she entered Rachel's room, it was horribly girly and Quinn spotted far too many stars around the room.

"Wow, you are kind of crazy." Quinn spoke with a giggle that she hadn't made before, feeling the buzz of the alcohol.

"I'm sure that if you were sober you would burn it down yourself." Rachel said quickly wrapping her arm around Quinn's waist as she stumbled a bit. Quinn leaned against Rachel, her head resting against the crook of Rachel's neck.

"You smell nice." Quinn complimented softly, making Rachel swallowed hard. Quinn's warm breath was against her neck. "Its this cotton candy spray, it is supposed to attract guys like flies." Rachel said giggling again realizing that she rhymed, Quinn laughed with her until Rachel slid her arm away, helping Quinn sit on the edge of Rachel's bed.

She stood and faced Quinn "I should go back downstairs to make sure that they haven't ruined the autographed portrait of me with permanent marker. I really don't want a goatee."

Quinn nodded and took a deep intake of breath as Rachel leaned in, her hand moved to the side of her face, tucking back a lock of Quinn's soft honey blond hair behind her ear. Suddenly Quinn's hand grasped Rachel's. Quinn's touch was warm and inviting and as she pressed her lips against the front of her hand Rachel's eyes widened in surprise and even more as Quinn's pressed a kiss delicately to each finger then the palm of her hand. Rachel bit her lip and watched as Quinn raised her war hazel eyes to the brunette's, they looked at each others eyes before leaning towards each other, their lips inches from each others.

"Kiss me." Rachel thought she heard Quinn whisper.

Rachel she cupped Quinn's chin with her hand, about to capture her lips before hearing a familiar voice belonging to Finn just outside the door. "Rachel...?"
