"Quinn, hi. This is Leroy Berry, Rachel's father."
Why is Rachel's dad calling me? Quinn wondered. What could he possibly want from her? Well, she did have an inkling of an idea why he might be calling…
"You're probably wondering why I'm calling you…"
It's probably about the wedding. Quinn thought.
"It's about the wedding. Look, Finn's a great guy and we know he loves Rach a lot but she's not ready to get married and it seems like you're the only person who agrees."
"How-" Quinn began.
"Rachel told us what you said and to tell you the truth, we agree. Rachel's got her whole life ahead of her. She's been dreaming of Broadway since she was 2 and now she's ready to throw it all away. Now, I know it's a LOT to ask of you Quinn, but could you just give it one more shot. Just… Tell her what you think and how you feel about it. She respects your opinion, Quinn. She cares about you." Quinn's heart pounded in her chest. She respects my opinion. She CARES about me. She smiled to herself. Maybe I do have a chance.
"I care about her too." She said, before she could stop herself. "I- I'll talk to her."
"Thank you, Quinn. We- we hope she see's the light. She's only 17. She has her whole future ahead of her. That's why this is so important."
"I won't let Rachel throw her dreams away for Finn." Quinn told him. "I can't", she added quietly.
"Before you go, Quinn, just- why do you care so much about Rachel?"
Quinn was silent. She gulped and tried to stop the tears that were building up from falling from her eyes.
"Because…" She hesitated. "Because… Just… Because…" She drifted off. She hung up the phone and let the tears fall freely down her face.
"Because I love her", she whispered.
