You don't know how it happened, but somewhere between hating her and becoming her friend, you fell in love with Quinn Fabray. You never expected it to happen-how could it? You were both girls. You were straight. But here you were, laying on your bed thinking about the blond ex-head cheerleader.

You don't know what it is about her that draws you to her, maybe it's that she helped you when you had your brief stint with an eating disorder, or when she had moved in to get out of Puck's house, or maybe it was when she said she wanted you in the delivery room with her and Puck when she had her baby. Or maybe it was all of these things combined.

All you know for sure is that you've never met anyone like Quinn Fabray. You knew the mean cheerleader celibacy club leader that had the perfect boyfriend and somehow had this air about her that seemed like she was better than everyone else. At that point, the only redeeming quality you could see in her was that she didn't like Rachel Berry, like yourself.

Then, she joined the Glee club. You two didn't talk at all. Why would you? You were from two different social classes. Plus, she had Santana and Brittany with her. You didn't want to talk to them. At that time, you did have a minor crush on Kurt Hummel, who turned out to be gay and liked Quinn's boyfriend, Finn. You almost snort at the irony of this. The guy you liked turned out to like the girl that your feelings for are very questionable at the moment.

You try to remember the moment that you thought you liked her, trying to remember if it was a specific moment or if it just happened gradually, over time.

You think it might be the ladder of the two, but also know the moment you actually realized your feelings went deeper than friendship.

It was the last day of school before vacation and you were talking to Kurt at his locker (like always), waiting for him to get done packing up to head out and start your summer.

"I can't believe Glee gets another year." You say excitedly and Kurt nods, smiling. Then, you don't know why, but some force makes you look past Kurt and look straight ahead. You see Puck and Quinn walking down the hallway hand-in-hand. It stings you, but you just figured it was because you dated Puck for that short time you were a Cheerio and your new friend was now with him.

It hits you when you're out to dinner with your family (Quinn was with Puck) that the reason it upset you wasn't because you were jealous of Quinn, but that you were jealous of Puck.

You lie on your bed that night, trying to sort out your feelings. You know you'll never tell her. She's had enough crap happen to her and you don't want to add to that. You think (hope) that, in time, this crush will go away. You also decide that you're just going to be her friend, as difficult as that might be for you. You'll help her through everything next year and just be a good friend to her. It won't be easy, you know that already, but you're going to try. You just hope it's going to be easier than it seems.

Yeah, don't really know where this came from. I mean, Quinn and Mercedes have always been two of my favorite characters on GLEE (along with Kurt and Puck) and I'm a HUGE Puck/Quinn shipper, but when I saw the episodes Home, Funk, and the finale, it made me really like Quinn and Mercedes' friendship (and, yes, I know this isn't a friendship fic, but inspiration just kind of hit me). I don't really ship these two, but my muse just kind of hit me. I know this probably sucks and might be OOC, but it's my first ever GLEE fic and I'll try to get better. Also, my first time EVER writing in second person. So I hope I didn't royally mess that up, too.

Disclaimer: I don't own GLEE, for if I did Kurt and Finn would be together on the show and have lots of kissing scenes (yes I'm a Kurt/Finn shipper)
