It has been 2 weeks since the accident. It was the visits day.
Quinn was half lying In her hospital bed when the glee club entered the room. She smiled when saw them, looking one by one; Artie, Mercedes, Santana and Brittany, Kurt, Blaine, Mike and Tina, Sam, Puck, Finn and wait- where's Rachel? Why isn't she here?her expression changed, the smile disappeared. Why she didn't com -
-Hey! Mercedes' voice interrupted her thoughts
-Hey. She said softly, trying a smile. Still feeling the pain in her chest
-We're glad you're doing fine. Sam said with a smile
- the doctor said you're having a great development! Kurt added
-Yea, he also said my legs aren't working.She looked sadly to her hands with tears in her eyes.
- It's not forever!Santana said trying to cheer her up – Come on, you're Quinn Fabray, you can get whatever you want!
- I bet that in a few days you will be running and dancing with us.
- Not to fast, britt.Quinn tried another smile, the others smiled too.
30 minutes went by so fast but not for a minute she stopped thinking about Rachel and why she didn't come to see her. Everybody said goodbye wishing improvements
-Santana! she called when everybody had already left the room. Now there was only they two in the room
-Yes, Q
-Why didn't Rachel come?
-Actually, she came.
-what? Quinn asked confused
-We were in the waiting room when she picked her phone and invented a lot of excuses,
saying that had to go home because her parents wanted to talk to her…
- What you think? Did you believe that?
- No, no for a second.
- They got married?
-No Q – Santana smiled- you fucked it up! Congratulations!
Quinn smiled back. –But I just don't understand what she didn't come.
-Look Quinn, I think she feels guilty for what happened to you, I saw it in her eyes
-But she is not!Quinn said trying to hold the pain in her chest
- I know! Listen Quinn, she will seek you it's just a matter of time, ok?
Santana kissed her forehead and they said goodbye with a smile.
~One week later~
Quinn was in her bedroom, sitting in her bed, with tears in her eyes looking at the wheelchair beside her. Her mother knocked on the door half opened.
-Quinn someone wants to see you
-Ok. She said wiping the tears
-Come in. Her mom told the guest. And she entered the room. Quinn's eyes widened.
-Hi. Rachel said softly trying to give her a smile. Quinn didn't answer, she couldn't. She had stopped breathing. Now she was staring at Rachel speechless and she doesn't know why.
-Quinn darling, are you ok?Her mom asked with a worried expression
She breathed –yes, yes mom. She glanced at her mom.
-Ok, I will let you girls talk. I'm downstairs, call me if you need anything. Her mother left the bedroom and shut the door. They stared at each other for a few seconds when Quinn decided finally say something
-Hi.
-Hi again. She gave a few steps. Can I? She said pointing to bed, asking for sit. Quinn nodded.
Quinn followed every move she made until sit next to her, beside her
-How are you? Rachel asked looking at her own feet
- In the way you can see. Rachel nodded still looking at her feet. –How you think I am?
- Quinn, I – I just
-Why you didn't visit me in the hospital?
- I did, I went to the hospital, twice actually
-twice?
-yes, one time with the glee club and other alone but, but I had t-
-Rachel please, the truth, ok? I know. I know how you feel and I want to hear it from you, I want to hear you Rachel. Look at me!
-I feel guilty.Rachel said softly in tears. I shouldn't have texted you, I shouldn't –
-Rachel stop! It's not your fault!
-Yes, it is!
-No, it's not! God! You're still so frustrating!Both stayed quiet for a time.
-So, I screwed your marriage, didn't I?
-Yes. Rachel smiled
They locked eyes.
-You know I'm not sorry for that, right?
- yes - Rachel nodded. - I know, and after your accident I thought about you and everything you told me a lot and
-and? Quinn held her breath
-and I think you're right, I'm not going to marry Finn, I mean, I'm not going to reschedule the date, as he wants to. - Quinn breathed -I'll put my dreams, myself in first place
- Well, I'm glad to hear it
-and Quinn if you let me, I'm willing, I want to take care of you, I mean, we're friends, right?
Quinn felt butterflies in her stomach, after all she did to this girl she was still there for her and- where this feeling came from?
-Yes, Rachel.
-Yes, what?
-Yes, we're friends and yes, you can take care of me.
Now they were silent again. This time for a longer time
-So you're ok with all this?Rachel asked wiping her tears
- No, I'm not, of course I'm not. I had everything, I had Yale I was coming back to cheerios, I was more confident with myself, I was finally happy, you know? And what I have now? I have nothing! I lost everything, and I'm lost because I don't know what to do anymore
-No, you didn't lose everything.
-You don't understand Rachel, can't you see I'm stuck in this wheelchair? I'm stuck in this stupid wheelchair and I'm alone!
-You're not alone, you have us, the glee club, you have –she paused- me.
-You don't understand. She said softly, almost whispering.
- Yes Quinn, I do. –Before Quinn could say anything Rachel spoke – Can I sing a song for you?
Quin nodded. The both were already tearing up.
''Can't believe it's over I watched the whole thing fall And I never saw the writing that was on the wall / If I'd only knew / Days were slipping past / That the good things would never last / That you were crying
Summer turned to winter and the snow had turned to rain / And the rain turned into tears upon your face, I hardly recognize the girl you are today / And God I hope its not too late Mmmm….Its not too late
'Cause you are not alone I'm always there with you And we'll get lost together Till the light comes pouring through / 'Cause when you feel like you're done And the darkness has won An' babe you're not lost / When your world's crashing down And you can't bear the thought I said baby you're not lost
Life can show no mercy / It can tear your soul apart / It can make you feel like you've gone crazy But you're not / Things have seemed to change / There's one thing that's still the same / In my heart you have remained And we can fly, fly, fly away...''
The song was beautiful, but Quinn was wondering if Rachel really meant that part of the song that was stuck in her head
'' you are not alone I'm always there with you and we'll get lost togetherTill the light comes pouring through / 'Cause when you feel like you're done And the darkness has won An' babe you're not lost''
- Thank you.That was all Quinn could say when Rachel ended the song and Rachel just smiled at her
-So, mmm, after tomorrow is my firstphysiotherapysessionandI was wondering if you-
-Yes! I'm going with you!
