"You said you'd never break up with me!"
That was all it took for Quinn Fabray and the crowded hallway to forget for an instant their own problems and turned their heads to this sudden outburst, as they found Rachel Berry pointing with an accusing finger and watery eyes to one Finn Hudson. Quinn, who was retrieving some books at her locker, watched the couple with curious eyes.
She first looked at the tall boy who once was her boyfriend, mainly because he was closer to her and well…because he blocked must of her view, even though he didn't seem to notice her presence. He looked hurt, wearing that famous kicked puppy face, although by the way he looked at the floor while he stood in place the moment those words fell from the divas lips, he also looked betrayed and deeply wounded. Actually, now that Quinn thought about it, he looked exactly the same as that day when said diva told him about Puck being the true daddy of their supposed baby.
Closing her locker slowly, she continued to watch with attention, going from Finn, who still seemed to struggle with something, and went then to the tiny brunette some meters away from her. Sure Rachel was most, if not all the times, a total drama queen, and if she didn't knew better, she would just had shrugged off the desperate face she was now wearing, just like she was hanging to the last bit of happiness in her life.
But Quinn knew better, and probably whatever that was going on at the moment, was seriously worth the face the girl was wearing.
Finn turned around slowly, and then the couple was facing each other.
"I never thought you'd make me feel like this" was all Finn said in a low whisper which surprisingly everyone heard, and after a few seconds of silence, he was walking again to the opposite direction and far away from Rachel Berry. Everyone watch him depart, until he disappeared in a corner. Then every eye landed on Rachel, who stood there heartbroken in the middle of the hallway, her eyes never leaving the place where Finn was lost of her sight. Some seconds passed, and then the student`s body started whispering, and nothing was in Rachel`s benefit nor aid.
Suddenly, and while observing the Glee star looking like she was about to burst in tears at any moment, her chocolate eyes now realizing the audience around her, Quinn felt like a complete heartless bitch.
"She probably deserved it" Quinn heard a girl say somewhere near her.
"Totally" another said.
"I heard she and Puckerman…"
And on and on, people started to talk louder and louder, no one caring at all about Rachel and how their not so discrete comments where making everything worst .Before Quinn could even do something about it, Rachel stormed out of the place, her hands covering her face.
Yes, Quinn felt like a heartless bitch. And why was that?
She seriously didn't know, but she did felt guilty. Or maybe, she did knew…hell who was she kidding. She did. And okay, maybe she wasn't sure what just happened right now, but maybe the fact that Santana, being the bitch that she was, told in front of the whole Glee club that she took Finn`s V-Card had something to do about it.
"Would you just shut the fuck up?" I yelled annoyed to the girl behind me, who was just telling to other two girls the juicy gossip like she did actually knew a thing about Rachel and Finn`s relationship. The girl stood pale the moment she realized who was talking to her. and closed her mouth. Without another word, except for my famous HBIC glare, I was after Rachel`s trail.
And yes, the truth was that Quinn couldn't still stand Rachel most of the time, perhaps because she hated when someone called her Barbie in a demeaning way like Rachel did. Or the fact that their history wasn't the best to start an actual friendship between the two of them. Or maybe it was just her irritating personality or the fact that she was talented enough to proclaim herself as a not Lima looser like she felt most of the time.
But the truth being told, Quinn knew, even though she never accepted it out load; that Rachel Berry was a really nice person who was always there for you even you were never there for her….always treating her like shit and never caring to even say hello, even when same girl more than once offered you her friendship when you most needed one, nor when she gave you the confidence or the right advices when you were pregnant, not really paying attention to the fact that she was helping the competition.
Anyway, Quinn changed a lot thanks to Beth, and during her last months of pregnancy, she did a lot of thinking on what kind of a person she wanted to be from now on. The idea of going someday to Rachel and actually talk to her, thank her and maybe even hug her appeared in her mind more than once. She of course didn't and of obviously this was related to her lack of confidence and her over powering insecurities. But, she did promise something, and that was she would one day repay Rachel.
And how does she stand to that promise?
By keeping her mouth shut when she's told the truth about Santana and Finn sexcapades, when she knew for a fact that the girl indeed cared about Finn and was willing to giver herself (not that someone had to told her that. It was so damn obvious) to him. Of course and prior at her and Sam`s performance, while Finn and Rachel were fighting about said subject, the only thing she could think of to say was that she already knew, just like whole New Directions did, indifference in her voice. The truth was that the moment those words left her mouth, Santana saying in that bitchy voice of hers that no one really cared about what Rachel might say or felt, she felt like crap. But, jus like good old Quinn Fabray, she just pushed the feeling aside blaming it to her frenetic nerves.
What Santana said had being actually her new opportunity to do something about it and finally stick to her promise, but obviously didn't.
Well, the moment her hazel eyes caught the look of those chocolate ones, Quinn knew this was the perfect time to do what she had being struggling on doing, and hell she was going to find Rachel and be the one to offer a friendly hand, even if maybe the whole breakup thing was the brunettes fault.
Quinn Fabray was going to stick to her promise, no matter what, because she was after all, fucking Quinn Fabray.
