Here´s chapter 2, sorry it took me more than a week to upload but thank you to my amazing beta for finding time to look over the chapters for me!

I hope you guys enjoy the chapter! =)

Rachel has calmed down enough to let everyone back into the room, but she´s not letting go of Quinn´s hand. She feels like she let it go, she'd slip away, and Rachel doesn´t want that to happen. She wants to be strong. She wants to fight, and with Quinn by her side, holding her hand, that somehow seems possible.
"Rachel Darling," her father says softly as he walks up to the side of the bed that is not occupied by Quinn, "I'm sorry that you learned about it this way, but we were so worried you wouldn't even wake up, and then things happened too quickly. But the doctors say that your paralysis might only be temporary. I´m sure that with a lot of physical therapy you will be able to walk again soon."
Rachel clutches Quinn´s hands tightly, and looks up at her Dad.
"Are you sure?" she asks, her voice sounding hoarse and still not quite like her own.
"The doctors told me the same," Quinn says before Rachel´s Dad can answer, "They said that we got lucky, I guess they´re right."
Rachel´s eyes dart over to Quinn, who is smiling reassuringly at her. For a moment Rachel feels lost in those hazel eyes and smiles back, her grip on Quinn´s hand softening.
"Yes, I´m sure the doctor will be here shortly to explain everything to you," Leroy says while resting a hand on his partner's shoulder.
Rachel nods, and takes a second to remember what has actually happened, but somehow she can´t. Everything´s a blur, she remembers that Finn and her were going to get married after Regionals and she also remembers putting on her wedding dress, so why had she been in a car with Quinn?
"Rachel?" she hears a voice that snaps out of her trance. Finn is standing at the end of her bed again, looking a little worried.
"Maybe we should give them a moment," Quinn says suddenly. Then her hand is gone, and Rachel has to fight the urge to grab it again.
"Yes, we should go find a doctor anyway," Leroy says before bending down to place a kiss on Rachel´s head. "We will be right back."
They are both leaving the room and Quinn follows after, but not without looking back at Rachel and giving her a small smile.
Finn moves around the bed, grabs a chair, and sits down beside Rachel. He smiles at her, but the girl´s eyes are still fixed on Quinn, until the door falls shut.
"I was so worried," Finn says quietly, and Rachel forces herself to turn her attention back to him. She is still struggling with setting her mind straight about what happened, and it feels like she´s not completely there yet.
"At first I thought that you had left me, like that movie we watched, you know? That one with Julia Roberts,"
"The Runaway bride?" Rachel offers, and Finn's eyes light up.
"Yes, that one. And well, I got really mad because I didn´t understand why you would leave me. Then we got the call from the hospital that said you and Quinn had been in an accident on the Highway."
There´s a short pause and Finn fiddles with his hands, before reaching out and placing them on Rachel's. "Do you remember what you were doing there?" he asks, and suddenly the words are hanging heavily in the air between them.
Rachel tries to remember, she really tries, because it just doesn´t make any sense. Why would she be in a car on the highway with Quinn, when she was supposed to be getting married at the time?
"I honestly don´t remember," She says. After a little while, her eyes meet with Finn´s. She can see they´re full of sorrow, and she suddenly feels a little guilty. He must have been so worried, everyone must have been. Thinking about it now, Rachel has no idea what day, or maybe even what month it is.
"How long was I gone?" she asks and feels Finn´s grip on her hand.
"Too long." He paused and looked up at Rachel, tears in his eyes. Rachel feels her chest tighten at the thought of having spent months in a coma.
"It was only 6 days, but it felt like an eternity," Finn reveals and Rachel wants to slap him, but then she remembers that it´s Finn. Finn never really thinks about what he´s going to say before he says it.
"I was so worried about you, I couldn´t bear to lose you Rachel. I love you." Finn´s squeezing her hand and Rachel opens her mouth to respond, but is interrupted by a knock on the door, which swings open just a second later.
"Ah, good to have you back, Miss Berry," A doctor, followed by a nurse and her Dads, walks into the room, wearing a bright smile. "Now let´s go get you checked up!"

After they had done a few medical examinations and explained her injuries, Rachel is relieved that what her Dad´s had told her is true. The doctors are almost sure that with a lot of physical therapy, she will be able to walk again, even though it will probably take quite a while, but just knowing that her injuries are only temporary makes her feel a lot less edgy.
"Thank you so much." Leroy says, shaking the doctor´s hand and he just smiles.
"Of course. If there´s anything else I can do…"
"Can Quinn stay in my room?" Rachel finds herself interrupting the two men without even wanting to.
"Pardon?" the doctor asks, and turns towards Rachel.
"Quinn, Quinn Fabray," Rachel says and feels herself blush unintentionally. "She was taken to hospital with me. She´s my friend. I was wondering if she could stay here with me? I would like to have some company."
The doctor seems to consider it for a moment and then just nods. "Sure, if it helps you recover. Company is never wrong, especially since you will have to stay for a couple more days." He gives Rachel another smile. "I´ll have it arranged for you."
Rachel gives him and smile and it feels a little weird, because she is still adjusting to being awake again, but she can´t help but feel excited about Quinn staying with her. They are sort of in this together now, and Quinn has said they were going to be ok. So this would be a great start for that, wouldn´t it?

"Ok, now that´s just unfair!" Quinn says giggling from her side of the room. "Why do you get fruit salad and two yogurts, and all I get is this sandwich with ham that looks like it´s been out of the fridge for far too long?"

Rachel smiles and shrugs her shoulders, "Come over and get it if you want," She says without thinking and then realizes, biting down on her lip.
She´s about to say sorry when she sees Quinn move and lower herself into the wheelchair next to her bed. It looks so easy, and still Rachel dreads the first time she has to sit down in one. It feels like when she does, things will become too real, even though she knows that she´s not able to move her legs right now.
Quinn wheels over and stops next to Rachel´s bed. "Scoot over." She smiles, and Rachel is taken a little aback.
Is she suggesting that…
Rachel must have been staring, because Quinn lets out a laugh and starts to pull herself up from her chair, and onto the bed. Rachel finally snaps out of her trance and scoots to the side of the bed to make room for Quinn.
"That looks so much better," Quinn says, and grabs a yogurt while Rachel goes for the fruit salad.
Their bodies are aligned, shoulders touching, and Quinn pulls the covers over them both before returning to her yogurt.
Rachel can´t help but smile as she glances over at Quinn. Yes of course, they have been friends before, but for some reason she feels closer to Quinn now than she ever has. Maybe it´s based on the fact that they had been in the accident together. Don´t people always say that it brings people closer together whenever tragic things happen somewhere?
"Do you want to watch a movie or something?" Once again Quinn pulls Rachel out of her trance and the brunette nods.
"Yeah sure, my Dad´s said they brought my lap top while I was being checked up." Rachel reached over into her bedside drawer.
"What do you want to watch?" she asks while pulling the lap top out and is confronted with Quinn´s smiling face, who had reached down into the bag hanging on her wheelchair.
"I brought Funny Girl." She says and holds up the DVD, making Rachel do a double take.
"I love that movie!" she exclaims and practically beams at Quinn, who just keeps smiling, and takes the DVD and the lap top out of their cases.
Rachel leans back while Quinn starts the movie and then gets comfortable next to the other girl. She glances over at Rachel and sees that she´s still smiling and it makes Quinn´s stomach flutter a little bit.
I know that it makes you happy, that´s why I brought it. That´s what Quinn wants to say, but she doesn´t.

When the nurse comes into the room the next morning she finds both girls asleep, Rachel´s head resting on Quinn's shoulder with her arm draped across the other girl´s chest.
She smiles and decides to let them sleep a little longer. Their checkups aren´t due until 11 and she can come back for breakfast after she has done the other patients.
Quinn wakes to the noise of a door closing and blinks a few times before noticing Rachel next to her.
Oh right. She thinks. Funny Girl.
Quinn smiles and tries not to move in order not to wake Rachel up. She looks so peaceful sleeping there, there are almost no visible injuries left to see on her body, except for a few bruises and a cut on her forehead.
Momentarily Quinn wonders if Rachel really doesn´t remember what has happened, and her stomach clenches at the thought.
The whole thing with the wedding had been a bad idea. It was never good to rush into anything, and that is definitely what Finn and Rachel have been doing lately.
I only tried… but Quinn can´t finish her thought, because Rachel stirs and mumbles something unintelligible. Quinn's features soften immediately, and a smile spreads out across her face.
"…morning." Rachel says, voice still sleepy. She blinks and finds Quinn smiling down on her, which sort of makes her stomach do a little flip.
"Morning." Quinn responds and Rachel wants to close her eyes and snuggle back into Quinn´s side, but the sun is shining into the room, and she sort of wants to stare at that gorgeous smile a little longer.
"Did you sleep well?" Quinn asks and, Rachel thinks how this is a much nicer way to wake up than beeping and being yelled at.
"Yeah," She finally says with a smile and gets herself up into a sitting position. Quinn follows Rachel, pulling the covers aside before lowering herself into her wheel chair.
"Good to hear." She says with a smile before rolling off into the direction of the bathroom and trying to control her pounding heart.

After having breakfast and getting checked up, the whole Glee Club comes to visit the girls.
"You scared the crap out of us!" Puck says as he flops down into a chair between the two beds. "Seriously, I was shocked enough by the fact that you two," he gestures towards Finn and Rachel. "Were going to get married, but no you had to go and raise the bar."
"Puck!" Kurt shushes him from his place at Rachel´s side. "Let´s just be happy they´re ok, yeah?"
Puck shrugs his shoulders in response.
"Praise," Mercedes says and Joe nods in approval before adding an, "Amen."
"But seriously, what were you two doing on the highway? I mean, there was a wedding to attend," Sam asks and Santana glances at Quinn, who catches her look but tries to ignore it.
"I don´t remember," Rachel says, looking a little sad. She really wishes she could explain, but she can´t remember, no matter how hard she tries.
"Me neither," Quinn says, which earns her another look from Santana.
"Well, maybe that memory loss is only temporary as well," Blaine offers, "I´ve read about it, it´s common that people lose a part of their memory when they hit their head in an accident. It often comes back after a little while."
"It could have been worse, I mean at least they still remember who they and who we are," Sugar says and everyone turns to her.
"Well I think being tied to a wheel chair is enough for now, isn´t it?" Artie answers and Sugar can´t really tell if he´s offended or not, so she decides to just nod and keep quiet.

They stay for a little while longer, and it´s just around dinner time before everyone has said their goodbyes. Quinn is in her wheel chair in front of their room, waving everyone goodbye, when Santana steps in front of her.
"I know you remember," She says, her voice serious, "I can see it in your eyes. Why aren´t you telling her?"
Quinn bites her lip and stares up at Santana. There´s no sense in denying it, Santana is her best friend, and she would know immediately if Quinn is lying to her.
"It´s not that easy." Quinn says with a sigh, "I caused this accident."
There´s a short silence until Santana shakes her head. "No you didn´t, that idiotic driver who didn´t know the meaning of speed limits, did."
"Yeah but still, I dragged Rachel away from the wedding, and drove off with her." Quinn looks a little desperate and Santana bends down to look into her eyes.
"And you were right," she says, a soft smile spreading out across her face, "This whole rushed wedding was a stupid idea. And I want to see you happy."
Quinn looks away. "That´s not what this is about."
"Hell yeah it is," Santana shoots back, "I know you´ve been wanting to tap that since sophomore year."
"What, no!" Quinn is sure that she´s blushing, which is really not helping her argument.
"Don´t even try Q," Santana says and makes a shushing gesture with her hands. "Don´t think I haven´t seen the way you look at her, it´s the way I look at…"
"Don´t say it!" Quinn interrupts her, voice so loud that people on the other side of the corridor turn around to look at them.
"Please." Quinn adds, a little quieter this time, "If you say it, it´s real, and then I´ll have to deal with it." She looks at Santana with a pleading expression on her face, and Santana feels a tug at her stomach.
"I just want you to be happy, Quinn," She then says and grabs the other girls' hands that are resting in her lap.
"I know," Quinn responds with a sad smile, "Me too, but confused feelings is the last thing she needs now and I don't want another broken heart." She squeezed Santana´s hands.
"Just let me be her friend for now, ok?"
There´s a little pause, and Santana looks like she wants to protest, but finally she just nods.
"Whatever´s best for you Q," she says and gets back up on her feet. "I´ll see you at school."
Quinn watches as her best friend walks down the corridor and intertwines her fingers with Brittany, who had been waiting for her. Quinn feels a sudden pain in her chest but tries to shake it off.
Now´s not the time for this, she tells herself. Rachel needs me as a friend.

When Quinn gets back into the room she sees Rachel on the bed, legs hanging off the edge. She´s staring at her wheel chair that has been placed next to her bed and only looks up when she hears Quinn enter.
"I…my Dad´s texted me that they were going to come visit and I thought it would be nice if we could meet them at the front and take a walk in the park or something. I´m tired of always just lying here. But then…," Rachel stops and looks back at the wheel chair, an expression of fear and insecurity on her face that makes Quinn´s stomach clench.
She knows that blaming herself isn´t going to get her anywhere, but in some way she still feels responsible for the accident, which really isn´t helping the whole situation.
"I think it´s a nice idea," She finally says after a deep breath, and rolls over to Rachel´s bed.
"You just put your hands onto the arm rest, like this." Quinn grabs Rachel´s hands, probably a little tighter than necessary to cover up the fact that her own hands are shaking, and pulls them down onto the arm rests. "Then you just lift yourself from the bed and into the chair."
Rachel still looks a little skeptical, but Quinn smiles up at her, and that makes her heart flutter in some way that Rachel hasn´t really experienced yet, and for some strange reason it gives her confidence.
Quinn doesn´t let go, as Rachel lifts herself off the bed and into the chair. It´s still a little shaky and unbalanced, but Rachel manages to sit straight in the end, without having hurt herself in the process.
She stops for a moment and feels her stomach clench a little. It´s weird, that feeling of sitting in a chair while knowing that without it, you aren´t able to move.
"You´re ok?" she hears Quinn´s voice, and snaps out of her trance. Quinn is still holding Rachel´s hands and she tries really hard not to blush.
Now is not the time! She tells herself, but then Rachel smiles at her and squeezes her hands, and Maybe just this once, Quinn thinks and allows the warm feeling to spread from her stomach across her whole body until the corners of her mouth pull up and she´s smiling back at the other girl.

They are out in the park and Rachel can´t help but laugh at the way Quinn is racing the little boy in the room across from their own. He has a broken leg and has asked them to sign his cast before taking off with Quinn while Rachel stays with her Dad´s.
"You seem to be doing better," Leroy says, resting his hand carefully on his daughter's shoulder. Rachel turns her head, the smile still on her face.
"I´m getting used to it, I think," she responds. "I understand that I can´t let this keep me from living and chasing my dreams. I will go to physical therapy and then I will be standing up in time for my NYADA audition."
Leroy smiles at his daughter, and feels his husband grab his hand while Quinn yells for Rachel to come over.
"I can´t beat him." She says as she stops in front of the other girl, her breath going heavy. "You have to help me out here."
"But I don´t even know how to properly use this thing," Rachel points at her wheel chair, but Quinn just waves her off.
"But you´re Rachel Berry, and you can do anything you want. Come here, I´ll show you."
Rachel quickly looks up at her Dad´s, but they just smile and nod, and so the Brunette turns back to Quinn and follows her over to the little boy.
"They´re…"
"Don´t say it Leroy," Hiram interrupts his husband. "This is none of our business. Remember what happened the last time we got involved?"
Leroy wants to protest, but then considers it for a moment.
"You´re right." He finally says. "It just irks me that it seems like there´s nothing we can do."
"They´ll have to figure things out by themselves, somehow."
