Hello, the new addition is now ready. Have fun reading :)


Quinn's P.O.V

I enter my first class late, I muttered an apology to the teacher and made my way to the back towards Santana and Brittany. Taking my seat I ignored the confused looks they were giving me and stared ahead. The teacher droned on about something that was that interesting enough for me to listen. I glanced around the room until my eyes landed on Rachel, I noticed that her shoulders were slumped and she looked like she wasn't paying attention. Finn's arm was wrapped around her shoulder protectively, I wonder if he has noticed anything wrong with Rachel. An elbow nudging me broke me out of my thoughts.

"Why are you staring at them, I know your still hung up about Finn but really, stop staring you look creepy," Santana hissed out, looking from me to Rachel and Finn, and then back to me. Brittany was smiling behind Santana with a knowing look in her eyes. I didn't know why she was looking at me like that, she couldn't know how I feel about Rachel, could she? The bell for the end of the lesson rung out, so I decide to ignore what Santana had said and made my way to my next lesson.

I hadn't seen Rachel since my first lesson and now it was lunch time. I sat at the Glee table trying to keep my eyes on the door waiting for her to walk in. Everyone from Glee were already here, talking about what they had done over summer except Rachel and Finn. They both weren't anywhere to be seen, I know sometimes Rachel would spend her lunch in the choir room but Finn never missed lunch. I quickly finished my lunch, so I could go look for them. I stood up excusing myself from the conversation, ignoring the confused looks from the group and made my exit swiftly. I wandered up the corridor toward the choir room, thinking that maybe they were practising a duet together.

Just as I reach the door, I hear muffled shouting. I glance through the window in the door and see Rachel and Finn stood in the middle of the room. I could see Finn was really angry and Rachel looked terrified. I watched as she tried to reach out to him but he shoved her away from him shouting at her that she was stupid and she better be more careful around people. I couldn't understand what he was talking about, but I carried on watching as she tried again to reach out to him to try and calm him down. Then all of a sudden he raised his fist and I watch in slow motion as it collided her her cheek and she fell to the floor. I couldn't move as I watch him bend over the top of her and whisper something to her before he walked out of the room through the other door.

I slipped through the door quietly trying not to scare Rachel anymore and made my way over to her. I dropped to my knee's in front of her, and tried to help her sit up. She pulled away from my help and glanced at me with tears streaming down her face.

"What are you doing here Quinn," Rachel snapped, trying but failing to wipe away her tears.

"I saw what happened, why are you saying with him, if he is hurting you," I tried to keep my voice calm, but I was finding it difficult with the anger building inside me toward Finn. 'God I'm going to kill him,' I can't believe he is the one hurting Rachel.

"Why do you care, you have spent so long hurting me and treating me like crap. Why do you just care now, I bet you can't wait to tell everyone that I'm eventually getting what I deserve. Making everyone laugh at me more, just please leave me alone. I really don't want to deal with you right now, and I now I will pay for this later when you decide to tell Santana, but I really don't care what happens anymore," Rachel stood while talking, when she was finished she grabbed her bag and stormed out of the room, leaving me sat on the floor shocked.

I skipped my next lesson by hiding out in the cheerios locker room. I couldn't go to class look like this, the tears making my eyes red and my make -up was now nearly non existent. I washed my face in the sink and wiped my face clean of make-up. I reapplied my eyeliner and mascara, grabbed my bag and wandered slowly to my last class. I arrived by the door just as the bell rang and the students filed out. I walked in after waiting till the last student had left and took my seat at the back. I leant back in my chair and let my mind wander to what I had witness earlier in the day.

What was I going to do, I needed to help Rachel but how do I do that if she won't even talk to me. I need her to trust me but I don't know how I can show her that I really do care. I know one thing I can do to help and all I had to do was tell Santana, she will let everyone else know for me.

"Q, you missed last lesson where were you," Santana asked while pulling a chair out next to me. I glanced around to see how many students were here yet and there was only a few sitting inter seats ready for the lesson.

"I need you to do something for me, but you can't ask me why, okay?," I plead, I really don't want to deal with the question's yet.

"Okay, but can you answer my question first and then I will do what you want," Santana agree's.

"I was in the locker room, I need a break for a hour," I take a breath, ready for the questioning look I'm going to get when I ask her this.

"I need you to tell everyone that Rachel Berry is now off limits and if anyone slushy's her ever again then they have to deal with me," I look into Santana's eyes as I finish my request and the questioning look is there but she keeps her mouth closed as she nods, agreeing to my request.

"I will get the word out, no one will touch her," Santana states slowly, her eyes never leaving mine. Our conversation is cut short as Rachel walks into the room with Finn towering next to her. I tense when I see more make up has been applied to her face and that his hand is gripping her's just a little too tightly. Santana notices the change in my mood and follows my gaze and watches with me as Finn drags Rachel over to a table at the side and force's her to sit next to the wall with him next to her. Rachel's eyes glance around and catches my gaze before dropping down looking at the desk in front of her.

The bell rings signalling the end of the lesson and I don't remember anything that the teacher had said. All I remember is Santana occasionally kicking me to try and get my attention. I get up, grabbing my bag while still watching Rachel and Finn out the corner of my eye. Finn grab's Rachel's hand again and I can see her whole body tense as his skin touches her's. She has a smile plastered to her face which does't meet her eyes and she looks down as he drags her out of the room.

Me and Santana slowly wander out of the room and head down the corridor to the choir room for our first glee meeting. I really don't feel like going today, I don't think I can take being in a room with Finn and not punching him in the face. But I need to be there to keep an eye on Rachel. We enter the room and Santana makes her way over to Brittany to find out how her last class went. I take a seat next to them, half listening to their conversation. I'm broke out of my thoughts when Brittany places her hand on my shoulder to get my attention.

"Are you okay Quinn, you seem very distant today, if you want to talk about it, we will listen," I smile at how attentive and comforting Brittany can be. I look away and see Rachel sat next to Finn with her head hung. I look back and see Brittany with a knowing look in her eyes.

"I know Quinn, its okay," I don't know what Brittany knows, if she means that she knows about my feelings or if she knows what is going on with Rachel. Our conversation is interrupted by Mr. Shue walking in starting glee.
