Some times all you need is Jager
DISCLAIMER: I don't own them I just borrow them from time to time.
SO Santana and Brittany finally made up but when Finn found out Rachel cheated on him with Puck because she thought he had cheated on her with Quinn even though he hadn't Finn broke up with Rachel and that's what you missed on GLEE
A/N: There is underage drinking in this chapter so reader beware J. I also have it where Mercedes parents adopted Quinn after Quinns mother signed her rights away because she had met a new man who didn't have a time for a rebellious child
Quinn laid on the hideaway bed in Mercedes room. Mr. Jones had put it up after Quinn had come to stay with them and she was there so often still they had seen no real reason to move it; Which worked out perfectly since her mother had pretty much given her up a few months later. In a silent affair Mercedes' parents had signed a few papers and with outrage gathered Quinn and her things.
" that's all right honey" Mrs. Jones had told her in the car that night, " you back where you belong that's all… family isn't always blood"
Presently Quinn was going through the latest stack of pictures that Shelby had sent her of Beth in hopes to forget about her fight with Rachel. Then almost laughed out loud at herself at the absurdity of it all. A year and a half ago if any had told her that she would be best friends with Rachel Berry she would have tossed a slushie in their face. But here she was actually upset that the other girl had thought she had slept with Finn, and they hadn't talked since. As if on cue her cell phone started to go off. Her text message song starting itself over twice before going silent again.
" She texts like she talks" Mercedes said knowingly. The other girl laid across her own bed leafing through a magazine. Quinn shifted and pulled her phone from her pocket.
With a sigh she read the message.
* Im so sorry Quinn, I don't blame you for hating me I would hate me if I were you but I would hope the progress we had made as friends…I mean I think we were friends, we were friends right? Wont be hampered in anyway by my jealousy and stupidity but I completely understand if you don't want to speak to me again and I will be awaiting the slushie you will probably be throwing at me when school resumes*
" you cant blame her for thinking what she did Q" Mercedes said looking up at her.
Although it was hard to admit Quinn knew her 'sister' was right. Not too long ago it had been her mission to make Rachel's life unbearable, but since Beth she had tried to be a whole different person and it hurt to be reminded of what she used to be.
* Finn broke up with me* came another text a few minutes later. Quinn sighed, " come on 'ce" She said, putting the pictures aside and standing up, " we got damage control"
" I'll tell Kurt to meet us" Mercedes said in response putting her cell phone to her ear.
Twenty minutes later found Quinn, Mercedes and Kurt standing on Rachel's front porch. The singer opened the door and stared at them with red rimmed eyes. She was holding a box of tissues and her hair was loosely pulled up. Gone were the baby doll dresses and argyle sweaters, she stood before them wearing a pair of basketball shorts and a gray hoodie.
" the calvary is here" Kurt said, linking his arm with Rachel's and turned them around so they could go back inside. Rachel dropped her head on his shoulder.
" and provisions are on the way" Mercedes told her with a smile. Quinn shut the door behind her and followed as Rachel led them downstairs.
" my dads are gone for the weekend" Rachel told them.
"perfect" Quinn said, although she was pretty sure they were gone before she had set everything up, looking at her phone she said, " the others just got here'
" The others? " Rachel squeaked looking between her three friends.
Just then the Tina, Brittany, and Sugar came clomping down the stairs. Each one had a case of wine coolers and a six pack of beer. Rachel looked to Quinn with wide eyes, but before she could say anything another person began walking down the stairs.
" Let the party begin" Santana said, holding a case of red-bull in one hand and a bottle of Jagermeister in the other, a mischievous smile playing across her face. A few of the other girls cat called and whistled their excitement.
" S-Santana? What are you doing here?" Rachel asked with hesitance.
" Im not here Berry" Santana smirked, but there was none of her usual harshness and Rachel looked up into the others girls eyes a little surprised to see that Santana was teasing her. Santana rolled her eyes before making her way over to Brittany and the others.
Quinn walked over to Rachel and chuckled at her, " she's not as bad as you think…If you're her friend" Quinn added after a minute, " she's mean to everyone so you just got to let it roll off your back"
Rachel looked to Quinn, " I'm glad you're here"
Quinn smiled, " me too"
Suddenly the stereo sprang into life. The beat of the music filling the room.
" come on" Quinn said grabbing Rachel's hand and leading her over to where Santana was making drinks, " I'll match you shot for shot"
Two hours later and more then few jager bombs later found them all sitting in a circle and very drunk. Rachel who had long since removed the hoodie was now sitting in a black tank top and her basketball shorts.
" you don't look much like a grandma kindergartener" Santana slurred a little clapping her hands together slightly, " yay"
Everybody laughed.
" and I cant even see your horns" Rachel slurred back.
Everybody froze. Quinn couldn't believe it did Rachel Berry just insult Santana Lopez?
" I know" Santana said pretending to mess with her hair, " that's why I wore the bow"
Everybody relaxed when the latina didn't go " all Lima heights" on Rachel, and laughed again.
" I wanna sing" sugar yelled out, her eyes focused on the karaoke machine. She surged forward and ignored Kurt who was telling her maybe singing was a bad idea.
" remember you can't honey" Kurt said with a pat to her head.
Quinn, Tina, and Mercedes burst out laughing at that; all three cheered before taking deep drinks from their cups.
" I wanna dance tana" Brittany told Santana who nodded her head and both girls bounced up and went to the stereo, giggling and stumbling on their way.
Rachel felt her cell phone vibrate in her pocket. Sloppily she pulled it out and was surprised to see that it was Finn. Panicking she looked up at her friends.
" don't answer it girl" Mercedes said. Tina nodded in agreeance.
' answer it " Quinn told her. To which Tina also nodded her head to.
Rachel took a deep breath and put the phone to her ear, " Hello?"
TBC….let me know what you think
