"Rachel come on! Its been two weeks since you've gone out with us. We desperately miss you." Kurt said whining from the chair in front of her desk.
"I highly doubt anyone misses me there Kurt." Rachel said not looking up from the stack of papers on her desk. "You just want me there so I can buy you drinks non stop."
"Psh thats not even…." Rachel looked up with her eyebrows raised. "Okay fine! Caught me."
Rachel laughed "Kurt I promise I'll go next time. I just need to finish this before the big presentation."
"You say that all the time." Kurt whispered to himself. He got up and walked around to Rachel's side, he pretended as if he was going to throw something out in the trash. He quickly snatched the stack of papers from Rachel's desk and ran out the door.
"Hey!" Rachel looked up to see Kurt running out her office door with the stack of papers. "Kurt get back here." She got up to run after him.
She made it to the her secretary's desk before she stopped dead on her tracks. "Kurt you wouldn't?!" Kurt was standing next to the paper shredder with one contract close to shredding.
"Oh yes I would." Kurt said with a threatening look.
"Harmony call security now!" Rachel said without taking her eyes off of Kurt.
"Harmony you touch that phone I swear I won't invite you to my next fashion show!" Kurt yelled.
"Harmony call now!" "Harmony No." They both yelled at the same time. Poor Harmony was conflict on what to do.
"Alright! Alright! Leave the poor girl alone. She's going to explode with all that thinking." Rachel looked to her left to see Finn walking through the doors.
"Finn!" Rachel ran to hug him, but she quickly let go. "What the hell are you doing here? I thought you were stationed in San Fransisco?
"Chill Rach. They let me come home for a few days. Plus it's been so long since I've seen you guys."
Rachel turned to Kurt "This is why you were pressuring me to go out. Why didn't you just tell me that he was here."
"It was suppose to be a surprise. Plus it was fun torturing you." Kurt said with a wink.
"Ass"
After about an hour or so getting ready at Rachel's apartment, they headed to the bar where the rest of their friend were waiting.
Walking into the bar Rachel took in the sight of her friends that were siting at the table just drifted into their own world. She smiled at the this sight, and noticed that it has been a while since she has actually spend time with them.
"Kurt whose your new friend? I don't think I've seen her before." Santana said teasing about Rachel
"Haha Funny Satan" Rachel said rolling her eyes and sitting down next to her.
"What did you do to get the Jewbabe out of the office?" Puck said
"My fine words of persuasion were enough for her." Kurt said with a smirk
"Yeah after you threatened to ruin me." Rachel said giving him an evil
"Well now thats Rachel's here she can buy the first set of drinks." Mike said giving Sam a high five.
"You guys only love me for my things." Rachel said getting up from the table
"Amen to that babe!" Puck yelled
"I'll go with you." Rachel turned to her right to see Quinn getting up to follow her.
They both walked through the crowd to the bartender to order the drinks. As they waited there Rachel looked back to the table to see what her friend were doing. She saw the most of them were lost in their own conversation. She turned back to Quinn and smiled. She looked back to the table and moved a few steps closer to Quinn. Quinn noticed this an smiled a little. Rachel took a few more small steps until she was able to wrap her arm around Quinn's waist.
She leaned to Quinn and whispered on her ear. "I love you." Rachel's low and raspy voice made Quinn shiver. Rachel leaned in to kiss her neck, but Quinn stopped her and moved away.
"Not here Rach." Quinn said trying to compose herself
"Come on Quinn. They can't see us. I haven't seen you in three days." Rachel said missing Quinn's touched
"Rachel Please." Quinn said with a plead in her voice.
Rachel sighed "Fine whatever."
"Rachel I'm sorry" Quinn said touching Rachel's arm.
Rachel snatched her arm away, but didn't turn to look at Quinn. She reached into her pockets for a couple of bills. "I need some air." Rachel said dropping the money on the counter.
Quinn watched Rachel walk away from her. She sighed. She was being selfish with Rachel, but she wasn't ready like Rachel was.
Rachel sighed as she pulls a cigarette from her pocket. "Smoking is bad for you." She turned around to see Finn standing by the doorway.
She let out a puff. "Tell me something I don't know."
Finn stood next to her with his hand in his pockets. "I saw what happened in there."
"Don't know what your talking about." Rachel said not looking at him.
"Come on Rach. Anyone with a blind eye can see how madly in love you are with Quinn."
"You can't go around saying things you don't know about." Rachel said stepping on the cigarette bud. She turned to walk back into the bar.
"I see the way you look at her." Finn said causing Rachel to stop walking. "The stolen glances, the need to protect her every chance you get, the need to touch her every second. It's not hard to tell Rach. Its also not hard to tell the pain she causes you when you can't hold her hand in public, the hurt on your face when she moves away from you. I'm your friend Rachel. Talk to me."
"You don't understand Finn. You would never understand." Rachel said turning back to Finn.
"So help me understand Rach. Because the way your going now, its going to drive you insane."
"God!" Rachel screamed hitting the rail. "Why Finn?! Why did you have to figure it out? Everything was going fine without anyone knowing the truth."
"How long Rach? How long have you been hiding this?" Finn said with a stern tone
"I've loved her since I was 16 Finn. The first moment I saw her, from the first moment I bumped into her in that hallway. I love her Finn."
"Rachel?"
"But in that moment I believed that I was never going to have her. Who would believe that a girl like that would love a person like me? But it happened Finn. 3 years ago I convinced my father to expand his company to New York not only for her, but for all of us. She finally said yes to me Finn, I finally have her. For almost 2 years I've had the privilege to call her mine. SO please Finn, please don't say anything. Don't ruin this for me." Rachel said with pleading eyes.
"Why Rach? Why the need to hide it?"
"Because she's scared Finn. She took a chance with me."
"Did she Rachel, did she really take a chance with you?"
Rachel looked at him and didn't reply. She decided to head back into the bar. She took a glance at the table and saw Quinn laughing with Santana. She couldn't help but smile.
"They opened the karaoke bar, I've wrote my name and yours. I haven't heard you sing in a while soo what do you say?" Kurt said wrapping his arms around her.
"Yeah sure. Would you mind if I go solo for tonight." Rachel said with sadden eyes.
"Yeah of course."
Rachel walked away towards the stage. She handed the DJ her phone with a song already selected on it. She stood in front of the mic. "Uh Hello. My name is Rachel Berry." Suddenly the crowd cheered. She smiled "I'm guessing some of you guys know who I am. Well I'm going to slow it down a little bit for you guys. Enjoy."
Defy the law of gravity
Enter the realm of insanity
Thats what love does to me
Butterflies and hurricanes
Stormy skies on a summers day
Thats what love does to me
And we're breaking down the walls of evolution
Feeling things that i cannot explain
Wherever there is love theres a solution
Hold on to me don't ever be afraid
(She made eye contact with Quinn, she sang directly to her)
Cos we're never to young to fall in love
Never to old to find the one
Never too dumb to give this up
Your the last thing on my mind
And the first thing when i wake up
Danielle you make it hard for me to breath
Danielle my heart is skipping every beat
Danielle wont you take a chance on me
(Quinn looked down as Rachel kept singing.)
Kissed me once and I had fallen
No holdin back baby
I was all in
Thats just what love does to me
And we're breaking down the walls of evolution
Feeling things that i cannot explain
Wherever there is love theres a solution
Hold on to me don't ever be afraid
(Rachel couldn't stop the tears from forming)
Cos we're never to young to fall in love
Never to old to find the one
Never too dumb to give this up
Your the last thing on my mind
And the first thing when i wake up
Oh Danielle you make it hard for me to breath
Danielle my heart is skipping every beat
Danielle wont you take a chance on me
Ooooh ooooh oooooh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Danielle you make it hard for me to breath
Danielle my heart is skipping every beat
Danielle wont you take a chance on me
Danielle you make it hard for me to breath
Danielle my heart is stranded out at sea
Danielle cant you take a chance on me
(Rachel and Quinn's eyes met again and she held the stare as everyone was cheering for her.)
Rachel got off the stage and headed towards the table. "That was amazing Rach." Blaine said patting her shoulder.
"Yeah Rachel, who was it for?" Puck asked
"What makes you think it was for someone?"
"Oh come on you don't just sing a song like that if it isn't dedicated to someone Berry." Santana said raising her eyebrows. "What do you think Q?"
"I think you guys should mind your business and leave Rachel alone."
"Thank You Quinn."
After about an hour or so everyone decided it was time to head home. They were standing outside and said their goodbyes. The only two left standing there was Quinn and Rachel.
"Quinn?" Rachel whispered
"Why Rachel? Why did you sing that song?"
"Because. I need you to know that I love you."
"I do know that you love me."
"Do you really?"
"Rach right now isn't the time to talk about this. Your buzzed. Let's head home come on."
"No Quinn. You always do this. Push the subject under the rug, if you don't talk about it it doesn't exist right?"
"Rachel where is all of this coming from?"
"Finn found out about us"
"What?! Did he…"
"Don't worry Q. He won't tell anyone about the misfortune of you having to date me."
"Rachel don't say that. I love being with you I love every moment we've spent together."
"But is it enough Q?"
"Of course it is."
"So lets do this Quinn, lets make a future together. Because I only see myself spending the rest of my life with you. I wouldn't change that for anything."
"I..I"
"You dont have to be scared anymore Quinn. Nothing will happen, everything will be alright as long as we have each other."
"Its not enough Rach."
"But you just said."
"I know what I said. But its not enough to see myself spending my life with you."
Rachel always wondered what a broken heart felt like, and right now in that moment it felt like she couldn't breathe. Like everything around her just fell to pieces.
"You knew." Quinn looked away from Rachel as the tears fell down her face. "You knew this wasn't going to last. You've known from the moment I told you that I love you. You know this whole time that you were going to break my heart."
"Rachel I didn't…"
"It was all just a game wasn't it!? God how could I have been so stupid?!" Rachel said covering her eyes
"Rachel No! It was all real every moment. It was real. I love you okay. You are the best thing to happen to me. But I can't be everything you need me to be. I can't let people see the real me and I know that's hurting you." Quinn said resting her forehead on Rachel's "I need time Rachel"
"We can find another way Quinn." Rachel said
"I wouldn't change anything sweetie. I'm so sorry."
"I Love You"
"I Love You too. I don't expect you to wait"
"If two people are meant to be together, eventually they will find their way back."
"Do you really believe that?"
"I do Quinn."
Quinn kissed Rachel. She put every emotion in it as if it was the last one. She pulled away and walked away from Rachel. Rachel stood there stun. It was over.
6 Months Later:
It was a bright sunny day, the church bells were ringing singling a wedding was soon to happen. In front of the church was a car with two best friends staring at the church doors, watching people walk in and out.
"This is it Rachel. It's now or never." Finn said looking at Rachel
"Can I choose never?" Rachel said
"We spent a week planning this. This is your moment Rachel, we can't back out now."
"What if she says no?"
"We'll cross that bridge when we get there. Right now you walk through those doors and declare your undying love for her. Because I know for a fact that she still loves you."
"Yeah your right! I'm doing this. I'm Rachel Berry I'm not scared of anything." Rachel said getting out of the car with Finn behind her.
"That's right Rachel lets go get your girl. Wait!" Rachel turned around and Finn went up to her to fix her bow tie. "There."
Finn and Rachel walked up to the back of the church where Kurt was waiting for them. "Your late!"
"Sorry Rachel need a last minute pep talk, but we're here now."
They both followed Kurt to a back room. "Okay she's in there. We have Sam and Puck distracting Biff. You have exactly 5 minutes. Finn and I will pull the car over and Blaine will control the guests."
Rachel watched Kurt and Finn walk away. She turned back to stare at the door, she took a deep breath and placed her hand on the door knob and turned it. She closed the door behind her and looked around the room to find it empty.
"Finally Kurt. I need you to tie this for me I can't…" Quinn stopped dead on her tracks when she came face to face with Rachel. "W-What are you doing here?"
Rachel pushed herself off the door. "Wow. You look- incredible Quinn." She said walking towards Quinn.
"Rach.. you shouldn't be here"
"Trust me that last thing I wanted to do was ruin things for you. But everyone seems to believe that you and I have to talk."
"Well what I need you to do—."
"Don't marry him."
"Rachel"
"Don't marry him"
"All those people out there are waiting for me."
"Yes, they are, but they also want you to be happy, which you're not going to be if you go through with this. Tell me I'm wrong, and I'll leave Quinn."
Quinn kept staring at Rachel lost for words. "You can't, because it should be us up there Q, and you know it."
"It isn't that simple." Quinn said with tears in her eyes.
"It's only that simple. You told me once that you love me. I know it was real Quinn."
"Of course I love you Rachel, I've always loved you. I love you more and more every day, if it's even possible to love someone that much."
"Then let do it Q. Get out of here with me right now. We can go anywhere, just as long as we're together."
" I know you can't understand, and I don't expect you to. But even if I wasn't with Biff. I couldn't be with you. Just know that not living with you is the hardest thing I've ever done, but at least I have someone who loves me by my side. You should find someone who loves you too."
"I have." Rachel whispers "She's standing right in front of me."
"Quinn the photographer's are ready." Brittany was standing by the door way.
Rachel and Quinn kept starting at each other, until Quinn looked down. "Its okay B, Rachel was just here to give me her blessing right?"
Rachel watched as Quinn walked through the door, she didn't know how to stop her or if she should even go stop her anymore. She waited a few more minutes before she headed to the front doors of the church. She watched as Quinn walked down the aisle with her father. She really did look beautiful and Quinn finally had her dream wedding and what killed her that it was her up there with Quinn.
"Dearly beloved, We are gathered here today to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony. If anybody can show any just cause to why these two may not lawfully be joined together, let them now speak or else hereafter forever hold their peace." The priest said
Quinn took that moment to look down the aisle and saw Rachel standing at the end of the aisle by the doors. She looked heart broken and Quinn hated that she was the one that caused it. She looked back at Biff who was smiling at her. She looked back to the doors and saw that Rachel wasn't standing there anymore. She had lost the love of her life.
Rachel made it outside with out exploding of rage, she couldn't stay in there any watch herself lose everything. She walked all the way to the nearest bar to drown herself in alcohol.
After 3 bottles of scotch she decided it was time to head home, she was glad that no one was able to find her. In this moment she couldn't handle having people show her pity for what had happened. She walked all the way to an apartment where she knew she would be okay. She made it to the 6th floor without tripping or breaking anything. She reached into her back pocket for the emergency hotel key.
She quietly walked into the hotel room and towards the bedroom. She heard the shower shut off. She headed towards the bed and sat at the edge of it waiting for the person to walk out of the bathroom.
"Didn't expect to see you heer tonight." Rachel turned around to see Santana wrapped in a robe by the bathroom door.
"Didn't know where else to go." Rachel whispered
Santana walked toward the bed and sat next to Rachel. She wrapped her arms around Rachel and pulled her into her chest. "It's going to be okay Rach."
Hope you guys enjoyed it. Let me know what you thought about it so: Review :D. The wedding scene I actually got from Gossip Girl, it was between Chuck and Blair and I thought it would fix perfect for Quinn and Rachel. Just you let you know this will be a Pezberry story. I'm working on it. :)
