'The scars of your love,

They leave me breathless

I can't help feeling

Adele- Rolling In The Deep

Prologue

"Honey, honey! Okay... so, the pink or the blue?" Quinn could hear her mother rambling about the pros and cons of each dress but her mind was elsewhere like always. At first she was excited for prom, knowing she was most definitely going to become prom queen, but after she realised Finn's love for Rachel hadn't died, she had to put an end to it all. At the moment the only other option she could think about for prom was… no, she couldn't say, it was pointless, never going happen, never could happen.

She thought that she loved this person though. Real love, but she wasn't supposed to, this person, her parents would never approve… ever. Her mother would kick her out this time… and her dad would never talk to her again, though she doubted she wanted to after what he had done, the asshole. Sometimes she doubted he ever loved her mother.

She used to believe in love, when she didn't use it to get what she wanted and became a huge manipulative bitch. It sucked, big time. But if there was one person who kept her faith hanging on by a thread it was Rachel. Now, she knew this sounded weird, but that girl was kind of amazing. She takes all the horrible crap Quinn throws at her and turns it into a heart wrenching, tear jerking amazing song? Now that took a whole lot of talent. The way she looked with her huge brown eyes and breath taking smile and even the way she spoke seemed to make Quinn's stomach fill with butterflies.

When you hear just that to explain why Rachel keeps her believing in love, you'd probably say she was crazy, and that it made no sense. It didn't to her either, until the night of Regionals when it all started…
