Charlie was never seen without her phone, Quinn was never seen without her iPod. Quinn had a husky named Zed, Charlie had a fish named Nemo. The list of differences goes on and on but one thing the Fabray twins had in common besides their birthday was their love for Rachel Berry.

Quinn and Rachel had always had a friend/lover relationship since middle school. Charlie chose to express her love through relentless teasing and slushies. The Fabray twins had gotten into numerous fights over Charlie's torture methods. It had even gotten physical at one point Quinn had punched Charlie in the face giving her a black eye. The head cheerio refused to speak to the running back for a week after that.

"You should try and talk to her Quinn" Rachel said closing her locker.

"No, I don't want to. She's acting like a bitch" Quinn replied.

"But she's your sister…"

"I don't care…She can't just treat you however she wants."

Rachel sighed, "Quinn as much as I appreciate you standing up for me you shouldn't stop speaking to Charlie because of me…"

The blonde slumped her shoulders she did miss Charlie even though their relationship wasn't the "normal twin relationship" they were still close…well kinda Quinn liked bugging Charlie and Charlie liked well Charlie seemed to like just hanging out.

"Have you seen Char today? I haven't seen her since we got to school this morning."

Rachel shook her head, Quinn frowned this wasn't like Charlie at all she never ditched… she walked away from Rachel rather quickly and headed to the back of the school. Charlie always went back there to think despite Quinn's frequent protest that it wasn't safe.

"Hey look what I found!" A male voice sounded from near the dumpster.

"You found a sexy cheerleader, good job Max."

Quinn's heart started to pound, the sexy cheerleader was probably Charlie! She raced over to the dumpster.

"Leave me alone!" Charlie cried out.

Quinn ran faster afraid she wouldn't get to her twin in time she skidded around the nearest dumpster and saw Charlie pinned against it by a tall gross looking man and another man was fiddling with his pants.

"Ha we'll leave you alone after we've had our fun blondie camon don't be a spoil sport." The man pinning her was trying to hold her still.

Quinn rushed over and clocked the pant fiddling man in the back of the head.

"Leave her alone!"

The man fell to the ground Quinn had hit him pretty hard and the other man tightened his hold on Charlie.

"Well lookie here we got ourselves a star crossed lover boy!" The man laughed, "that's real cute coming to rescue your girl from us straight out of a fairy tale. Only this fairy tale doesn't have a happy ending prince charming." Quinn didn't bother to tell him she wasn't a boy it was probably better for him to think she was male…the man stood up and pulled out a pocket knife. The man holding Charlie laughed and licked the side of her face. Charlie screamed and Quinn panicked she'd never gotten into a knife fight and she didn't have a knife…shit! The blonde looked around and saw a glass bottle she grabbed it and broke the bottom half off.

"Let her go! I'm serious!"

"Oh he's serious Max!" the men laughed, "you ever been in a knife fight boy? Do you even know how to fight at all?"

Quinn didn't answer she didn't want to give him any fuel to use against her.

"Look let her go. If you win you can have me. Just let her go."

"I ain't no faggot prince charming that ain't gonna work."

"Who said anything about being a faggot? I'll let you beat the shit out of me if you let her go."

"I can beat the shit out of you now boy."

"I won't fight you…"

"Hm…here's what were gonna do lover boy. I'm gonna beat the shit out of you in front of your girl here and then we're gonna have a little fun with her while you watch."

The man smiled and Quinn felt her face getting hot. She didn't even know what she was doing all she knew was that she had to save Charlie she could take a beating but she couldn't let her sister get raped especially if she was forced to watch. She dropped the bottle and lunged at the man. He looked surprised and swiped at her with his knife he barely missed and Quinn wrapped her hands around his throat. He took his knife and stabbed Quinn's stomach, Quinn grunted but didn't let go. She kneed him in the crotch which brought him to his knees. The man stabbed her again higher this time right below her rib cage. Quinn kneed him in the face knocking him out and let go of his throat. She kicked him in the stomach several times before turning to the other man who looked terrified. He released Charlie and ran in the opposite direction jumping over the gate. Quinn turned and looked at the man lying on the ground she spat on him and the last thing she remembered was Charlie yelling her name as she fell.

"Quinn? Quinnie baby can you hear me?"

Quinn opened her eyes, ouch fuck that hurts! She tried to sit up.

"No sweetie its ok you don't have to move nobody's going to hurt you."

Quinn rolled her eyes it was her mother…great…

"Charlie…where's Charlie? Is she alright?"

"She's fine…she's outside she feels terrible for what happened to you."

"Did she tell you what happened?"

"Yes, and I must say Quinn that was incredibly brave of you. Stupid but brave."

"I couldn't let them hurt her."

"I know baby I know. Your father's on his way he's been raising hell at the school because no one can answer him as to why there were two perverts on school property. And no one can find them."

"They got away?!"

"I'm afraid so."

Quinn put her hand over her eyes, "Char's never gonna feel safe at school until those creeps are caught."

Judy nodded, "your father's got the police out looking for them. They'll find them don't worry."

Quinn sighed, Charlie is going to freak when she finds out they haven't found them… "mom can you send Charlie in here. I want to talk to her alone…"

"Of course Quinnie she'll be right in." Judy Fabray pressed a quick kiss to Quinn's forehead and went to get Charlie. A few seconds later the door opened and a tearful Charlie walked in, she saw Quinn's scratched and bruised arms and a sob escaped her mouth.

"I-I'm so sorry Quinn…I didn't mean for this to happen I just…I just wanted to clear my head. I'm so sorry." She sobbed, Quinn softened she hated seeing Charlie cry it always made her sad.

"Come here," she said gently Charlie came and sat on the edge of the bed avoiding Quinn's eyes. "Look at me Char." Charlie raised her head and sniffled which made Quinn feel worse "I don't blame you for what happened. It's not your fault at all. If the situation was reversed you'd do the same for me. So don't feel bad about that ok?" Charlie nodded, "they haven't caught the pervs yet." Charlie squeezed her eyes shut and Quinn could tell her twin was in pain. The younger blonde pulled her twin into her Charlie's head was resting on her shoulder. The Cheerio turned she her body was facing Quinn and buried her head in her chest. Quinn put her arm around Charlie and rest her head on the top of her sister's head. "It's gonna be alright Char, I'm always going to be with you from now on. And when I can't be with you Puck, Dave, or Sam will be. I'd say Finn but he's too much of an idiot…" Charlie let out a small laugh and Quinn smiled.

"Quinn you don't have to do this…"

"Yes I do. I'm your sister it's my job to protect you."

"But I'm older shouldn't I be protecting you?"

"Char you're older by three minutes… and no I don't think you could protect me if things ever got physical anyway. I decked you pretty good last week…sorry about that by the way."

"You don't have to apologize Quinn I deserved it I was being a bitch."

Quinn tensed, "Charlotte I don't ever want to hear you say that you deserved to get hit. No one deserves to get hit except for losers like the guys we encountered today. Don't ever let me hear you saying that you deserved it! Do you understand!"

Charlie nodded against her sister's chest tightening her grip on Quinn's shirt. Quinn sighed, something was wrong with Charlie sure this afternoon had scared her and she was still shook up…but she had never heard Charlie say she actually deserved to get hit…something weird was going on and she was determined to find out what it is…
