Safer with the enemy
Prologue
Rachel was running late, she hated running late for Glee club but some Hockey player decided he and his friend were going to double slushy her so she barely had enough time to clean herself up properly. Quickly putting her sodden hair in a bun she burst through the choir room door, deposited her bags in the corner where they'd be out of the way and took her seat in the front, no one asked her where she had been or why she was late and soaked, not that she expected them to; she was on thin ice with her teammates as they thought that she was the one who told Finn the truth about the paternity of Quinn's baby which she hadn't and had no idea who had, she only discovered the truth by using her gut feeling and asking if Quinn had a full medical check, including a rare disorder that only Jewish people carried and once she saw Quinn panic and talk to Noah about it she had her answer.
She listened to Mr Schue talk about Regionals, ignoring all of her ideas and input on what the judges are looking for and why wouldn't he? She had brought Jesse St James into the group, the lead performer from their rival team, only for him to transfer back to Carmel High School and his team Vocal Adrenaline where her birth mother was his coach. As a consequence of her 'betrayal' no one in the Glee club was talking to her, even the one who didn't tease her but never stood up for her either, one wrong move from her and she'd be kicked off the team and she couldn't let that happen; she loved Glee club and every member in it, even those who laughed at her and made her life harder than it should be.
As they began to rehearse Rachel pulled a bottle of water from her bag, knowing she'd need it for the dance routine, and put it back in the corner far from the others, what she didn't notice was that Quinn pulled her bag out of the corner, slightly further than the rest and stood next to it, even though her place was on the other side of Noah. As they began the group number, following the direction of Brittany and Mike who were the two of the best dancers on the team, things seemed to be going really well until they heard a thud and a cry in pain, everyone looked to see Quinn's ankle wrapped around the strap of Rachel's bag and her face contorted in pain, when they helped her up they panicked at the blood. Mr Schue called for an ambulance while the others glared at Rachel, they continued to glare at her as Quinn was loaded into the ambulance, completely missing the smug smile on the ex-Cheerio captain's face. No one offered Rachel a lift to the hospital, instead they left her standing in the pouring rain, with her fathers out of town for a while and the last bus having already left, she stood in the school's parking lot, guilt flooding her and tears being disguised by the rain.
At the hospital Quinn refused the others entry while she delivered her still-born daughter, the doctors and nurses took her tears as those of sorrow when in fact they were ones of joy and relief; she no longer had to be at the bottom of the social ladder, she'd get her place back on the Cheerios and she'd have Finn back, the first thing she'd do when Finn became hers again was have Rachel Berry kicked out of their lives. The only remorse she had was when she allowed Noah hold their daughter, the tears in his eyes proved that he really wanted to prove that he could be a father and that he really wanted her, she pushed these feelings down and told him to leave after a few minutes.
Once the Glee club had left she inwardly congratulated herself; this would definitely get Rachel kicked out of the New Directions for good and hopefully bullied enough that she has to move schools, maybe even towns or states. As she lay back against her pillow she began to doze off, what she didn't realise was that the doctors were speaking with her parents about her blood work and the state of the baby, there was far too much alcohol and prescription drugs in her system for the baby to be miscarried from a fall, the baby had been dead since roughly the night before.
