Heyy guys thanks for reading :)
I will try to post a chapter every 2 days if I'm not too busy.
You should check out my other story too!

The next day, Quinn spent the entire morning looking for Rachel between her classes. She was supposed to be in Spanish with the diva but she didn't show up which made the cheerleader start to worry. She even went to every girl's bathroom she could find, looking under everywhere to check if the brunette was here. But nothing.

"-Quinn what the hell did you tell her last night?" asked Mercedes at lunch. Kurt, Quinn and Mercedes had agreed that the blond girl was the one who had to talk to Rachel since the diva kept ignoring Kurt's messages or calls and Mercedes never really talked to her before. And since Quinn and Rachel were supposed to sing a duet together they all three thought it was a good occasion to investigate.

"-I told her I was there for her, she yelled at me and kicked me out. I already told you I don't know why she didn't show up today!

-Did you give her a time to practice for your duet?

-I did, but she said she wouldn't come. It was supposed to be now in the choir room...

-Then go you stupid!"

Quinn looked at Mercedes, she knew for a fact that Rachel didn't come to school this morning and going to the choir room wouldn't change anything, but the black girl was threatening her with her mean looks and so the cheerleader left their table to go look for the brunette once again. She was walking in the hallways, which were almost empty since everybody was in the cafeteria, and she entered the choir room.

Mercedes was right, the brunette was sitting at the piano, hitting the keys without really paying attention the the melody that she was creating. Quinn slowly got closer as she heard that Rachel was crying. She silently sat next to her. The diva looked at her with her red eyes and hugged her without a word. The cheerleader felt so bad for her, she seemed destroyed, and she had never seen someone feel that bad before. She held Rachel tight against her as her fingers were drawing circles in her back. The brunette was letting all her tears out of her body, and Quinn felt like if she was gonna start crying too.

"-I'm sorry Rachel, I didn't think you were gonna come, I looked for you everywhere this morning and you weren't here..."

Rachel looked at the cheerleader with her teary eyes, she just stared for a few seconds without saying anything. And Quinn couldn't help but whip the tears off of the brunette's face. She didn't know why she was crying but it was like she could feel the pain too, and she felt so guilty for ever mistreating such a fragile girl. She always thought Rachel didn't care about how people were treating her, she always seemed so strong. And it was breaking the cheerleader's heart to know that in fact she wasn't.

"-Can you not tell anyone please? I wouldn't want everybody to know that I've been crying in your arms like a baby. I know you will probably slushie me know that you know...

-No I won't Berry. I promise you I won't. I'm sorry."

Rachel turned towards the piano and started hitting the keys again. She didn't even know what to think, all her thoughts were fighting inside of her mind, and this feeling of emptiness was coming back to haunt her. She knew that Quinn was right next to her but she knew the cheerleader could never save her from her loneliness. She was popular, her beauty was breath-taking and her smile was just too comforting to be true. Rachel didn't really care when Quinn was mistreating her because at least she was paying attention to her, and that's all she needed. She had no idea why she wanted the cheerleader as her friend and no one else or why she had such a power on the brunette, she could just make everything better. And she did when she got up and said:

"-I found the song I want to use for the duet. Don't say anything Berry okay? Just listen."

She put her ipod on the stereo and pressed play. Rachel knew that song. It was "Count On Me" by Bruno Mars. She bought the album after they sang "Marry You" at Burt and Carole's wedding and she loved it. "Count On Me" was one of the songs she would listen to all the time when she felt bad, and the fact that Quinn had chosen this one was making her want to cry again. Not to mention that the blonde's voice was incredibly beautiful and Rachel was melting.
"-You can count on me like one two three, I'll be there..."

Quinn was getting closer to the brunette as she was singing and ended up grabbing her hand and making her get up to sing with her. And the diva couldn't ask for more, she took the second verse while gazing in the blonde's eyes.

"-If you toss and you turn and you just can't fall asleep, I'll sing a song besides you."

And she was smiling. For the first time in days. She was smiling as Quinn was holding her hand and singing with her. Rachel wasn't thinking about anything but how the cheerleader was singing one of her favorite songs with her, telling her that she could count on her whenever she needed it. And the emotional Rachel Berry felt a few tears falling on her cheeks, but she knew it wasn't sadness. She was happy.

"-Fabray! What the fuck was that song about?"

Glee Club just ended, and Quinn and Rachel had just sang their duet. It went amazingly well, their voices just were perfect together and everybody sure had noticed that. Mr. Shuester even stayed silent at the end, clapping slowly and looking so proud of them it made both the two singers smile. And Rachel's smile, everybody thought it was gone before she sang. Mercedes seemed really happy and the only persons who looked kind of mad were Finn and Santana. That's why, as soon as the bell rang, the latina was trying to get things straight with her cheerleading partner.

"-Berry has been feeling bad, I thought singing this song would help her.

-Huh? You're supposed to torture her, not being all cheesy, friendly or even nice.

-Listen, she feels really bad..."

The way Santana was talking to Quinn made the blonde girl really uncomfortable. She knew she was supposed to be all mean to everybody to keep her head cheerleader spot but since she gave birth to Beth, she couldn't keep ignoring the fact that people could feel terrible and could use her help. And even Rachel Berry deserved it. But some people didn't seem to understand.

"-Are you guys friends now?

-I don't know San. I just want her to feel better"

Santana didn't seem to understand why the head cheerleader would ever think of caring about Rachel. And without adding a word, on this bad look that let Quinn kind of sad, she turned around and left the choir room.

Quinn stayed inside, and as she was about to go towards the piano to try to find inspiration in her complicated thoughts, she heard someone come in the room.

"-Baby am I giving you a ride?

-Huh?"

Quinn looked at the person who just entered the room. It was Sam, her boyfriend, that blonde guy on who every girl in this school were crushing. He was cute, the cheerleader couldn't deny it. But he was so awkward, she often felt rushed with him, and he couldn't talk to her seriously at all, which was becoming really annoying.

"-I think I can go home on my own. Thanks.

-Are you okay?

-What if I say no?"

Quinn looked at Sam trying to act like she felt bad. She needed to know how he would react if his girlfriend was feeling down. Was her really the prince charming she wanted him to be so bad? Was he going to come hug her, kiss her and tell her that everything was gonna be alright?
"-Well. I hope you'll get better. Call me if you need a ride or food or whatever." He left the room.

Quinn watched him walk away, surprised. She told him she might have felt bad and she didn't even get a hug. Was that only because guys don't seem to understand girls or just because didn't know how to deal with girls. But yet he tried to kiss Quinn the first time they even hung out..

"-Fuck you Sam." said Quinn after she made sure the boy was gone.

She didn't want to believe that he was not her prince charming.
