Chapter One
Quinn Fabray carefully walked up the wet drive. Rain was falling pretty hard as she made her way up to the front door. She climbed up the steps to the front porch and knocked on the front door. Quinn shivered and pulled her drenched jacket closer to her. She heard movement inside and she stepped back from the door.
"Quinn," she heard gasped as the door opened slightly. "Quinn, what are you doing here? It's so late and cold out there so get in here!"
"Rachel, I ummm," Quinn stuttered as she looked down, staring at the huge holdals beside her feet. "I got kicked out... Again," she said blushing.
"Well Quinn, pass me a bag and get inside before you freeze and catch a cold," Rachel said reaching out for a bag. Quinn slowly passed her a bag. "Now, quick and get inside before you get sick. My dads would love to meet you!" she said as she turned walking inside leaving the door open for Quinn.
This, is going to be eventful Quinn thought as she picked up her other bags and walking inside after Rachel.
An hour later Quinn was following Rachel up to the guest room on the third floor. Rachel had taken Quinn into the living room where she was having dinner with her dads and having a Friends marathon. Rachel had briefly explained the little she knew before dismissing herself to set up a room for Quinn. Quinn was then left with Leroy and Hiram Berry, a very scary prospect given her past behaviour towards Rachel, but both men were polite, allowed her to stay despite her treatment of Rachel; although they set ground rules and expectations. Quinn was beyond greatful as she followed Rachel up the stairs.
"Quinn, I figured you would want your own space so I set up our guest room on the third floor over the one next to mine. You have your own bathroom up there, it's just a shower but if you want to have a bath feel free to use mine or the one in the hall near Dad and Daddy's bedroom. Now I have made up your bed and put clean towels in the bathroom. There is a closet in your room that I have put extra linen in for you if you get cold or don't like the bedding on your bed. The room isn't much but it is cosy and you have a tv and internet access," Rachel spoke pretty fast. "And Daddy eats meat so you won't have to eat too many vegan meals but we do limit Daddy to eating meat two nights a week."
"Thank you Rachel. This is very kind of your fathers and yourself," Quinn said shyly. "I just had no one else to turn to. I couldn't think of anyone who would take me in. Last time was hard enough. I couldn't of gone to Finn's, given the past, Puck's is a no go and Mercedes and I aren't really close anymore... And then I thought of you... No matter what I do you are always there for me. I am sorry for what I did to you Rachel. I mean it, I am sorry. Thank you for never giving up on me. It means a lot to me." Quinn looked down slightly.
"Thank you Quinn, it is nothing. My fathers and I like to help people. Thank you for saying sorry but you didn't need to. I know you didn't mean to do what you have done and I know you are sorry or you wouldn't be here. I also know you are a really nice person, I see it in your eyes. I also know, that you don't know how to express it sometimes," she stated simply. "Okay, here is your room Quinn."
Rachel opened the door and let Quinn in. Quinn looked around the room. The door to the bathroom was on her left with a small built in closet on the right. The walls were lilac with a flowered wallpaper feature wall with a silver metal double framed bed in front of it with pine tables either side. A large pine dresser was on the opposite wall next to the closet with a small pine table beside it housing the tv and a dvd player and a pine bookcase was against the wall that had the bathroom behind it.
"I like it Rachel. It's actually really nice," Quinn said as she set one of her bags on the pink and cream patchwork quilt on the bed. Rachel placed the other bag beside it.
"Well I am sure we can go shopping this weekend to buy stuff to make this room more yours. Dad and I love to shop so we would be more than happy to go shopping with you or even go back to your mums with you to get the rest of your things maybe?" Rachel said hopefully. Quinn looked down.
"You can't I mean I can't. I'm not allowed back at all. I don't even have a key and you don't need to buy anything. I packed what I love and need the most, so it is okay. I can make do. I will get a job and buy anything else I need to replace. I don't want to impose on you even more."
"Quinn, you are not and you will not. Now do you want me to help you unpack or would you like to come down and eat?"
"I'm not hungry Rachel. After tonight, I just wanna shower and sleep. Is that okay?" Quinn asked tentively.
"That is fine Quinn. I leave for school at 7:45 am and either Dad or Daddy give me a lift in. You are more than welcome to join me, unless you have other arrangements?"
"I don't. My mum took away my car. So I will see you in the morning. Thank you Rachel."
"Always Quinn. Goodnight," Rachel said smiling as she turned towards the door.
"Goodnight Rachel," Quinn said back. She waited for the door to shut before she pulled pajamas out of one of her bags and headed to the bathroom. She closed the door behind her. Quinn turned on the taps and stripped off. Once inside the shower, Quinn broke down and began to cry.
