What you need to know: It is now Rachel and Quinn's senior year, second semester, so i'm skipping a bit from this season. I feel like they are going to become friends eventually so in this story, they already have. Everything on Glee still happened (except Sebastian isn't gay), but I'm not sure how much actual time in Glee club will be mentioned. Also, Quinn and Rachel's personalities are definitely a little bit different, Quinn is still mixed with the wrong crowd sometimes, but she is not HBIC or mean Quinn. Quinn is dating Sebastian, they met at regionals and fell in love and Rachel is still with Finn. Quinn does still have a want for independence, but has realized already that she needs friends for support. You'll see! I know things like this have been done miltiple times, hopefully I can make it worth it and hope you like!
She walks in with her head down. Something's wrong. I may not know everything about Quinn Fabray, but I know enough to realize when she is upset. Quinn and I have known eachother since freshman year, but we didn't start becoming closer friends til this, our senior year. We have Spanish with Mr. Shue together sixth period We became closer friends because our seats are right next to each other and now that we aren't fighting anymore why not. Not like hangout every weekend and talk about everything friends, but enough to have each others numbers and talk every once and a while, even sincerely say hello in the halls. Anyways, this wasn't her normal, "I'm tired", kinda looking down, there was more to the look she had. I stand up knowing what she needs, and open my arms. She walks right into them, drops her backpack and rests her head on my shoulder. If you would have told me back in my sophomore year that by my senior year I would be offering Quinn Fabray a hug and that she actually would accept it, I wouldn't have believed them. "Thank you...", she says, her voice quiet, practically a whisper. We stand there for what must have been a few minutes at least, I could tell she was wiping tears away at some moments. Finally class was about to begin and she needed to sit down. I let go, and brush the last of her tears away with my thumb, "Whatever it is Quinn, everything's gonna be fine..."I say in my most confident voice about to continue before Mr. Shue cuts me off. We may not be that close, but I care for her as I would all my friends. I can't stand to see someone upset and I am there for them always. It should be no different for her. It's a Rachel Berry thing! She mouths to me that she will explain later and luckily we have a group activity in class today.
As soon as we split into groups she sits on the floor beside me and begins, "My mom and I have been arguing a lot this week and this morning it was at it's worst, I hate when we're mad at each other, it's enough that I still kinda hold the whole horrible dad and baby thing on her. On top of that I got back two tests today that I got D's on, and took another two tests today that I probably did the same. Today has just been horrible" She said this all in probably one breath and her tone was one of frustration, yet hurt. She complains about her mom every once and a while, but I don't know if I've ever seen her this upset, her mom really does try to be the best she can after everything.
"I'm sorry Quinn, I'm sure everything with your mom will be worked out after school and if you want help studying for the finals in those classes, I'm getting A's in all of them and I can help you with whatever you need whenever. Just remember that okay? I mean it. I am here for you whenever you need me, just a call away." After I say this comment it does seem a little over the top, but I mean every word. I could have said so much more, but for now short and sweet, no matter how hard it is to confine me, is best. After a short silence she confirms this by leaning close to me and resting her head on my shoulder.
"Thank you Rachel, I'll remember that" once again said in a whisper. Not that I mind. These are the moments that I live for in a way. Being able to support a friend. We sit like this until the end of class, she gives me one more hug, I hold her tight, and we go our separate ways down the hall. Her to leave and meet Sebastian, and I to the auditorium.
The next time I talk to her is the next day in class; she is back to her normal hyper self thank goodness. Everything with her mom got worked out right when she got home and she decided to take me up on my offer to help her study for the finals. Considering it's a Friday and she already has a party to go to tonight with Sebastian and babysitting over the weekend, we decided not to meet up until Monday after school. Unfortunately, life had other plans for us...
