Chapter 1
It was a sunny Monday morning as Quinn Fabray walked cheerfully down the streets of New York City.
Quinn knew that today was going to be a good day.
Today was the day that she, being the successful owner of Gold Star Photography, began her new project of capturing the photo's of the new cast for the now adapted Broadway act of 'Rocky Horror'.
The photographs would be appearing in the New York Times on the front cover, earning Quinn a fantastic business promotion opportunity.
She made her way into Starbucks before she reached her studio, ordering her daily coffee, skinny caramel late' to go.
"Ah, Miss Fabray" smiled the barista "The usual I presume"
"As always" Quinn replied in her sweet voice
The blonde paid for her coffee and made her way over to where a few people were waiting for there coffee's. Quinn pulled out her Blackberry, taking the given time as a privilege to get some of her work emails done.

The door opened, a warm summer breeze following the brunette as she stepped inside the coffee shop. Rachel beamed. Everything had been going so well for her in the past few months. After landing the lead role of 'Janet' in the upcoming Broadway musical, people had been stopping her on the streets purely just to greet her.
Today was no different on the 'Rachel Berry good week strike'.
Today was the day of her first photo shoot.
Although Rachel had been on the stage since a very young age, having her photo's taken for local newspapers since the mere age of five. This was different. It was Rachel's first photo shoot in the city of New York.
A dream that Rachel had been working her hardest to achieve since she first heard of Broadway. (This was also a very young age)
And now she was here.
"Hello" She smiled to the Barista "Skinny Caramel Late' please"
The Barista smiled
"Not a problem"
Rachel made her way over next to a blonde girl tapping hurriedly on her phone, within seconds she heard her order be called out.
As she went to make her grab for the hot drink, she was cut off by the blonde next to her
"Sorry" Rachel quickly said, pulling her hand back "Must be a popular order"
The blonde girl looked up at Rachel and smiled.
Never in all of Rachel's life had she seen a girl so beautiful, and that's saying something. Majority of the girls at the auditions Rachel went for were just plain stunning, and Rachel had been to a lot of auditions.
The blonde's hazel eye's lit up as she smiled sweetly at the brunette
"Or maybe you and I just have good taste"
The blonde picked up her coffee, smiled at the brunette and made her way out the coffee shop. Rachel smiled, her thoughts now focused back to the three day photo shoot she was beginning
(")
"Right" Exclaimed Quinn as she paced up and down her studio, taking small sips of her now almost finished coffee
"The cast will be here any moment now, this is a big deal so no one, and I repeat NO ONE, Jenny, is stuffing this up. Do I make myself clear?"
Quinn's staff nodded frantically as they continued to set up the stage around the studio, determined to do there boss well. Although Quinn appeared sweet from the everyday person point of view, her head cheerleading personality had carried itself from her high school hierarchy to her current state in career.
"Miss Fabray?"
Quinn turned around to face the entrance of her studio
"My name is Will Schuster; I'm the director for Rocky Horror"
"Ah yes, Mr. Schuster" Quinn smiled, making her way to the door to greet the man
"It's such a pleasure to be working with you"
Will chuckled
"The pleasure is mine Miss. Fabray"
Quinn smiled back at the man, he was quite handsome for someone in there mid forties, his curly hair and boyish grin worked wonders on masking his age
"So would you like to meet the cast?" He asked gesturing towards the waiting room
"Oh yes, definitely" replied Quinn, following the man into the waiting room
"I'd like you to meet Rachel Berry and Jessie St. James first; these two will be playing the leading roles of Brad and Janet"
Immediately Quinn noticed Rachel, the brunette had left quite an impression on the blonde girl from there meeting this morning, although judging from Rachel's expression; it seemed to have the same effect on the shorter girl.
"Miss Berry" Smiled Quinn, shaking the smaller girl's hand "It's a pleasure to meet you"
"It's a pleasure to meet you too Miss Fabray" The girl cheekily replied, grin on her face
"And I'm Jessie" Said the boy to Rachel's right
Quinn shook the boy's hand and smiled sweetly
"Okay" Quinn started professionally "First of all were going to do the shoot with Brad, Janet and Rocky, is Rocky here today?"
"That's me" Said a blonde boy, standing up from his spot on the couch
"Sam Evans" he smiled
"Right, so if you just make your way in the studio we'll begin" replied Quinn, leading the three cast members through the doors.

After the make up and the costumes were complete, Quinn was at work, directing her photographers in all the right angles to shoot the cast from.
Quinn was purely a natural when it came to photography, not to mention a perfectionist
"For the tenth time Jenny, don't shoot Miss Berry from the right angle, the light isn't adjusted for the right side!" Quinn huffed, taking the camera off the poor employee
"Sorry Miss. Fabray" She quickly replied
"Go work on Mr. Evan's self portrait" Quinn quickly replied, before the girl scurried off to the muscular blonde boy
Quinn knelt down to get a better view of the actress through the camera, clicking away furiously; it was evident that the girl knew what she was doing
"So" started Rachel, smirking "Coffee shop girl"
Quinn smiled "I guess so, although I could call you the coffee theft, seeing as though you tried to take mine"
Rachel huffed
"I did not, it was purely an accident Miss. Fabray, how am I supposed to know you ordered the exact same thing as me"
Quinn laughed "Please, call me Quinn"
"Isn't that a bit informal?" Replied the other girl
Quinn shrugged, clicking away at the camera once more "If you think so Miss. Berry"
Rachel shuddered
"Point taken" she replied
Both of the girls laughed as they finished off the personal shoots for day one.
(")
"What the hell was that all about?"
Rachel looked questioningly at the blonde boy as she wiped the rest of her make up off. They were back in there apartment now after a long day of getting photo after photo taken.
"What the hell was what all about Sam?"
"You and Miss. Fabray?" He replied, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world
"Oh, we bumped into each other at the coffee shop prior to the shoot, that's all" Rachel replied, her attention back focused on washing her face
"Really?" Asked Sam "It looked like you two had known each other since high-school or something"
Rachel laughed "I guess we just get along well"
"Weird" replied Sam, falling back into his bean bag "I heard she doesn't get along with anyone"
Rachel shrugged, not giving much thought to the situation at all.
(")
Quinn hurriedly made her way back to her apartment, picking up Chinese take-out on her way home. She was very pleased with the outcome of the first day of shooting, plus, she felt like there may have been a friendship blooming between herself and the lead actress.
"Sweetie, I'm home" She shouted as she made her way into her apartment
"It's about friggen time" grumbled her boyfriend from the couch "I'm starving"
"Well, I brought Chinese" She replied, still smiling
The boy got up from the couch and made his way to the dinner table where Quinn began serving the meals
"Day one went really well" Quinn started, pouring sweet and sour pork on her boyfriends plate "I met this girl, Rachel, she's quite nice, but lovely to work with"
"Uh huh" replied the boy, not taking notice of his girlfriend, yet focused on his now mouth full of pork
"Finn!" exclaimed Quinn "I'm telling you about my day!"
"Oh" Replied Finn "Sorry"
The boy took another mouthful of his dinner as he shrugged off the girl's complaint
"Well then" started Quinn, sitting down opposite Finn "What did you do today"
"Oh" Started Finn, putting down his fork to take a swig of his beer "I had such a stressful day, boss made me go through all his paperwork just to find a stupid permission slip he had forgotten to sign for his son's baseball camp"
Quinn looked at the boy questionably "Really, what else?"
The boy looked back at his girlfriend dumbstruck
"Uhh, nothing?" He replied
"That is what a stressful day at work is to you Finn?"
"Yeah, well I don't see you doing any better!" He retaliated, throwing his fork back down again "I mean, this is the third night in a row we've had take out, don't you remember how to cook or something?"
Quinn stood up
"Don't you fucking dare get me started Hudson, you've been home since 5'oclock, it's now 8:30, maybe you could have cooked something"
Finn glared at the girl as he also stood up, throwing his plate on the floor in anger, smashing the glass against the carpet
"Last time I checked, you were the woman around here, men shouldn't have to cook!"
"Oh how modern age of you Finn, just lovely" snarled Quinn
"You know what" started Finn as he picked up his jacket "It's a good thing you gave that baby up for adoption in freshman year, you would have made a fucking pathetic excuse for a mum"
And with that Finn took his keys and left the apartment, slamming the door and leaving Quinn standing by herself, mouth open in shock and heart shattered.
Suddenly, Quinn screamed, hitting the vase on the table with all her anger, sending it flying into the wall, shattering over the living room. She fell to the floor, tears flowing freely from her hazel eyes, remembering the beautiful baby girl she held once, and the love her boyfriend used to give her in high school.
"Just another end to a great day" She sobbed to herself
