My first Faberry Fic! Quinn's get's in a car accident based on Glee's episode "On My Way" and Rachel realizes she loves Quinn after it happens. I hope you like it! I would love feedback good or bad, just review! I don't know how long this will be but I'll probably end up dragging it out a lot but you should know it does have a happy ending!
disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN GLEE!
Rachel's phone buzzed indicating she had a new message. She looked down at the screen reading aloud Quinn's text.
"On my way" Rachel looked to Finn in hope that they could postpone a little longer. But Finn gave her a worried look and moved towards her.
"It's now or never." He told her taking her hand in his.
"We can get another slot, Finn." Rachel said reasoning with him.
"Hey, sounds like a plan to me, and you know if we can't get one soon we could wait a while, until you know next year or something…" Hiram trailed off.
"I want Quinn to be here." Rachel protested, ignoring her father.
"Why do you even care if she's here or not? You two aren't even that good of friends!" Finn's voice rose in irritation.
"She said she wanted to come, so we can wait." Rachel said taking her hand out of Finns.
The Glee club started whispering to each other, wondering what was going to happen next. All but Kurt and Blaine, who kept quiet, every now and then sharing glances to each other when ever someone said 'can they just marry already?'
Finn looked at the clock before turning back to Rachel and grabbing her hand again, pulling her along.
"Come on Rachel, you were the one who wanted to get married today!" Finn said.
"We can do it another day with Quinn!" Rachel said tugging away from Finn's grasp. She stepped back as Finn turned to face her.
"I don't understand."
"What? That I want a friend to be here on this very special day for me-for us." She said with a caring face.
"But why is what I don't understand. You wouldn't postpone the wedding for Barbra, or Patti LuPone, your biggest idols, but you would for Quinn? It just doesn't make sense."
Rachel was at a loss for words as she was deciding on how to answer. Why did she want Quinn to be here? Was it really only because Quinn said she would come, or was it because of something else. Was it because she felt like they were really close friends, after all they had been through. Quinn giving her baby to Rachel's mom, being so honest with each other, Rachel inspiring Quinn to go to Yale, helping Quinn through her post partum depression. And all those times when Quinn was the one dating Finn. Rachel always thought she was jealous of Quinn to get the guy of her dreams, but now that she thought about it, maybe that wasn't the case?
She thought about the times Finn and she fought, which was quite often, over the blackmail Sebastian had, sharing the same bathroom, feeding her meat when she was a vegan (she knew all along but didn't want to hassle Finn into making dinner again.) The list seemed endless, but with Quinn she could only remember the problems that involved her dating Finn. But when neither of them were with Finn they seemed alright. They seemed friends…Rachel didn't like using that word though. She felt like there was something more to her and Quinn's relationship, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"Rachel!" Finn shouted, snapping Rachel out of her thoughts, "do you even want to marry me anymore? I mean honestly, because it seems like you're caring about Quinn showing up to this wedding than actually getting married. D-"
"I love her." Rachel let out in barely a whisper looking down at the ground. People were on the edge of their seats trying to hear what she said. Finn just stared at her in complete betrayal and confusion.
"W-what?" Rachel lifted her head and looked straight into Finn's eyes.
"I love Quinn." She smiled. Finn's eyebrows furrowed, trying to hold back tears. Rachel's smile was gone in a flash.
"Finn I-I am so sorry." She looked down at the ground again in disgrace, on her wedding day, she was confessing, not only did she love someone else, but that she was in fact a lesbian. She never loved Finn, it was always Quinn. All those times she tried to get Finn away from Quinn for herself, she was chasing after the wrong person all along. It was always Quinn, now it made sense.
But what didn't make sense to her right now was where Quinn was. She said she was on her way, but how far away was she? Rachel gave Finn an apologetic look before running out the doors and into the girl's restroom. She held her phone up and dialed Quinn's number. Rachel listened to it go straight to voicemail and she began to worry. It went to voicemail the next time too, and as Rachel was about to call again she heard sirens in the distance. She was slowly, but surely putting the pieces together, but as she felt tears well up in her eyes she refused to shed a single one, not wanting to believe it.
She rushed out the bathroom door and headed down the hallway, ignoring her friends and fathers calling her after her. She ran to her car, stumbling with the keys for a moment from her shaky hands, and followed the ambulance, which was now in her view as it drove past. As a car crash came into sight Rachel sped up. She only saw a black truck with a badly damaged front bumper, shattered windshield and a man struggling his way out, his head bleeding. When she got closer she could see a small red beetle, or what used to be, completely smashed, upside-down, and on the side of the road, steaming.
Rachel hit the break as a police officer blew his whistle for her to stop. It was a good thing too, if she had kept going, she herself would have made an accident. Because right there, Rachel broke down, tears streaming down her face, short quick breathes escaping her mouth. She put her hands over her face as she saw the paramedics lift up a battered, bloody and bruised blond from the car. She took her hands away for a moment to catch a glimpse of her, causing her to cry even harder.
"Be alive Quinn. Please."
