Dried crimson blood stained her shaking hands, her gaze fixated on the speckled tile below her.

"Rach…" The voice echoed in her mind, she recognized it almost instantly but wished it didn't register who it was.

Sorrowed brown eyes followed the voice and after a moment, she saw the boy sitting next to her. The brunette remembered once feeling safe just being in the same room, and now… Now she only felt fear for him. Her body became stiff, her eyes cold and she pulled away from his concerned stare.

"Back off Finn." Came a quivering yet unwavered voice.

The young football player stood instantly, causing Tina to flinch back, the abnormally tall teen turning to face Tina and protectively Mike stepped in front of his soft-spoken girlfriend. "You heard her."

"Whatever, I don't need this." Finn's eyes hardened, he sauntered out of the room, allowing Tina to rush to Rachel.

"It will be okay…"

Rachel shook her head, a single tear trickling down her cheek. "It will never be okay, not again. Not ever." Said Rachel, choking on her words.

Several hours later…

Rachel had refused to sleep, unable to get the sight of Quinn's smile, her laugh, and finally blood that followed soon after seeping from her head like a running faucet. Her hands reached to her face as she bowed her head, rubbing her temples and closing her eyes, squeezing them tightly shut. Maybe it was just a dream, a horrible dream that she would awaken from. Slowly she opened her eyes, seeing only the bright fluorescent lights of the hospital and smelling the lingering aroma of disinfectant.

As she blinked a man in a white coat had appeared in front of her, causing her to let out a surprised gasp.

"I'm sorry, Miss Fabray's parents have not arrived yet and you are a close friends who witnessed…" His eyes caught sight of the blood caked on her hands, he cleared his throat. "Quinn is in critical condition, in the intensive care unit and we cannot allow anyone to see her at the moment. Quinn has suffered severe trauma from the impact, fracturing her skull which caused her brain to hemorrhage… Your friend has lost a great deal of blood."

The brunette felt like she couldn't breath, realizing she had held in her breath and she let it go. Her hand grasped the other, the only thing that could act as a means of comfort since Mike had left to take Tina home.

"Fortunitely she got here when she did. We are looking after her. I recommend getting some rest and we will do our best." He gave a weak smile, only to receive only an empty look in return.

"Okay…" The doctor cleared his throat once again before turning.

At that moment Rachel's parents Hiram and LeRoy entered the room, causing Rachel to dash from her seat and into their arms, both men wrapping their arms around their daughter, holding her closely as sobs replaced any hope of words.

Blood dripped from her hands, the water taking hold and swirling down the drain.

With a deep sigh Rachel lowered her head underneath the spray of scalding water, causing her to grimace in pain but she bit down against her bottom lip, taking it. Slim fingers reached for the soap, scrubbing away any remainder of blood that had dried on her body.

After several moments she stepped out of the shower, grasping a thick white towel and wrapped it around her raw tired body. Have I ever been this tired?

Ever so slowly Rachel stepped into her bedroom, using what was left of her strength to pull open her dresser hdrawer and pull out a pair of soft pink pajamas and slipped them on, feeling as if a concrete block was dangling with each limp of her body.

Finally the young brunette found her bed, laying down and allowed sleep to take her.

It had been two days since the incident.

Rachel had entered the hospital the next day, eager to see if she could see Quinn but was refused. I need to see her

At that point the young brunette went home, not even thinking of attending school but knew her fathers would give her no trouble for this. As she stepped in her house she felt her shoulders dropping, feeling such sadness overwhelming her.

Quinn was special, more special than anyone else could ever know. They had been enemies, and friends, but so much more had happened behind closed doors...

"Daddy, I don't want to stay. I want to be with you." Quinn whimpered, her sparkling hazel eyes meeting those of her father.

"Quinn." He spoke getting down onto one knee. "You're going to have fun, I promise-"

"But..."

"But nothing Quinn." Russel snapped, raising his voice and causing Quinn's bottom lip to quiver. "I'm sorry sweetheart..." He reached forward, giving her a hug. "You'll have a great time, and I'll take you out for ice cream after school?" He said even though he never did.

A smile smile brightened Quinn's face and she nodded eagerly, her pale skin lit with the pink headband in her hair and white and pink polka dotted dress.

"That a girl." Russel kissed her forehead and gave her a smile before striding to his car, leaving Quinn with the teacher and other children.

Rachel watched the little blond girl, seeing her pretty dress and thinking she looked like a princess.

The little brunette with a ponytail and a dramatic red dress went to her classroom and sat down at her desk. Each desk was labelled with a name card, six desks pushed together and Rachel saw Quinn sit across from her. Their teacher being a fairly plump woman, Miss sherbert. "All right children, welcome to your first day in kindergarden, we are going to start by pulling out some paper and drawing what is important to you. It could be mommy or daddy, a pet, or your home, whatever you want."

With a stack of crayons Rachel reached forward to grasp a pink crayon when Quinn grabbed the tub, pulling it to her side of the desks.

"Can I have one?" Rachel asked in a soft voice.

The little blond raised a dainty eyebrow, looking up and shook her head, laying down assortment of colors on her desk and beginning to color.

The brunette sat at her desk, dumbfounded for a moment and before she could pipe up the teacher pulled the tub of crayons from Quinn's desk back to the middle. "Share now..."

Anger sparked on Quinn's face briefly but she concentrated on her photo.

~~Recess~~

The bell rang, echoing throughout the school and Miss Sherbert opened the doors and smiled to the children. "You have twenty minutes for recess, have fun."

Rachel stepped outside, the warm glow of the sun heating her skin and making her feel fuzzy. She giggled giddily and ran to the sandbox, gripping a little shovel in her hand as she began to dig. She found a little puddle of water, using the sand and water to fill a pail and make sand castles, she smiled happily to herself as she scooped each handful of sand, adding water, mixing and making another perfect block. Finally she finished and took a twig, drawing little lines on the sand for windows.

"Lollipop Lollipop
Oh Lolli Lolli Lolli." She sang softly, putting the finishing touches when a foot barreled onto her sand castle, another foot squished her other castle, and another.

Rachel raised her eyes and caught sight of a large boy. "Haha, that was funny."

"No it wasn't!" Rachel's eyebrows burrowed, standing and her hands clenched into two little fists, stomping her foot. "You wrecked my sand castle."

"Nuh uh."

"Yeah huh."

"Nuh uh." The little boy stepped forward and pushed Rachel back onto the sand, causing her lips to tremble.

"Are you gonna cry? Aww, poor baby." He mimicked sniffling and Rachel felt tears welling in her eyes.

"OWWWWWW!" The boy suddenly cried out causing Rachel to raise her head seeing the boy was now on the ground. Over him was Quinn, her blonde hair falling over her eyes as she glared at him. "Pick on someone your own size." She huffed, the boy sniffling as he stood up and quickly ran away.

Quinn turned her eyes to Rachel, who wasn't sure what to think at this point. The little blond stepped over and sat infront of Rachel. "Want some help?" The little blond offered, picking up the shovel and giving a small smile.

Rachel's face lit up and she nodded, who knew a princess would rescue her?

Tears ran down Rachel's face, dropping onto her comforter and she wiped her cheeks.

A moment later Hiram entered the room. "I just got off the phone with the doctor... It's about Quinn..."
