Use your imagination and enjoy it!
It was physiotherapy day. Quinn was downstairs waiting for Rachel.
- Quinn, I don't think it's a good idea, you should let your dad and I take you. You need someone to carry you, and I don't think Rachel is able to do this.
- It's ok mom, we'll make this. Berry can carry me and if not, I have strong arms, remember?
The conversation was interrupted by the doorbell ringing. Judy opened the door
- Good afternoon Mrs. Fabray, is Quinn ready?
-Yes I am!
Quinn shouted when she heard Rachel, sitting on her wheelchair making moves to try to see Rachel behind her mom.
-Ok dad, next stop; Rachel's car
Her father nodded and took her in his arms. Rachel didn't even walk into the house, when Quinn and her dad passed by Rachel both girls smiled at each other.
-Hey you!
-Hey!
Rachel opened the car door. Quinn was being placed in the passenger seat as Judy was giving the wheelchair to Rachel to put in the trunk. Rachel got into the car and put on the seat belt.
-Take care of my princess
-I will. Rachel smiled and left.
Quinn turned on the radio and Rachel glanced at her – Well done!
They sang all the way long. When they arrived Rachel got out of the car and went straight to take the wheelchair from the trunk. She placed the wheelchair beside the door of where Quinn was sitting, she opened the door and started to stretch her arms.
-What are you doing?
Shh! Rachel continued stretching
-You know Rachel, I'm not a baby elephant
Shh. Rachel took a deep breath. -Ok, let's do it!
Rachel wrapped an arm around Quinn's legs and the other around her waist as Quinn wrapped her arms around Rachel's neck. It wasn't hard. Quinn was already sitting on her wheelchair.
-Ok. Rachel said with a satisfaction smile
-Ok, Thank you. I'll call my dad to take me when I'm finished
-What? Rachel asked with a surprised/confused face
-Rachel you don't need to-
-Quinn! You said I could take care of you if I wanted to! What do you think? You think I'm gonna let you here alone? Rachel said aloud, almost yelling.
-Oh my god Rachel, ok! Calm down, you don't need to yell.
-I thought it would be easier to convince you if I did.
But convince of what? Quinn would never refuse Rachel's company, especially now that she was discovering this feeling that she never knew she had for Rachel.
The session took like years to Quinn. Rachel watched the whole thing, ar first they didn't want to let her in but she took a long time bothering the doctor so he let her in.
Now they were in the car in front of Quinn's house
-Delivered. Alive as promised.
Both laughed.
-Ok, how many days per week you have the physiotherapy sessions?
-On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
-Hmm, ok. I guess I'll have to put gasoline more often…
-Rachel really, you don't have t-
-Quinnnnn….. Rachel said reprimanding her.
-Ok, ok. I get it. Now I will call my dad to carry me inside. She really didn't want to leave the car.
-what? why? No, as you said before you're not a baby elephant. I can do this, and your house is right there.
Rachel got out of the car, took Quinn in her arms and counted the steps as she walked;
-One, two, three, f-fourrr – They laughed again –Just kidding
They resumed together
-Five, six, seven, eight…. nine!
Quinn took the keys from her pocket still in Rachel's arms and opened the door. They entered the room, Rachel shut the door with her foot, and everything was quiet. Rachel walked toward the couch and placed Quinn sitting there.
- Wait. I'll get your wheelchair.
-Ok, I'm not going anywhere, promise.
Once again both laughed, this time at Quinn's commentary. Soon Rachel was back with the wheelchair, putting it beside where Quinn was sitting.
-Now this is my eternal company. Quinn spoke referring to the chair
-It's not eternal. Rachel replied trying to ignore Quinn's sarcasm as she picked up some pillows to make Quinn more comfortable
-Good?
-Not yet
Rachel tried to arrange the pillows in a better way
-And now? Better?
-Yea, thanks.
Rachel sat next to her and sighed.
-so... I don't think your parents are home…
Quinn turned her head and looked at the stairs
-Mom! Dad! She called in a loud voice
Nobody answered, they were alone in Quinn's house.
-Nice. I'm stuck downstairs
-Hey, I'm here with you and I won't leave until your parents get home.
-Are you sure? I don't know how long it will take…
-Yes, I am sure. Meanwhile, can we watch something?
-Yes, can you pick up the remote control? Because you know…. – Quinn said pointing to her legs – I can't
Rachel stood up and picked the remote control then sat back
-You choose or…
-No, it's ok. You can choose. Just don't choose anything boring that will probably make me sleep or want to-
-Yes! I love this movie – Rachel looked at Quinn with a big smile
-No way! Rachel I appreciate your taste in movies, but I'm not Kurt
-Quinnn! It's a classical!
-it's a black and white movie!
-Shh .
-Ok… - Quinn sighed
-Here, let me just - Rachel said as she picked Quinn's legs and arranged the pillows
-What are you doing?
- Making you more comfortable
Rachel put Quinn's legs on her lap. The movie had just begun and it was really boring for Quinn. She was trying her best to watch it but 10 minutes of that passed like 10 years and she was starting to feel sleepy. Quinn took her eyes off from the tv screen and looked at Rachel, she was staring at the TV. This must be the tenth time she is watching that movie but damn it, Quinn doesn't want to watch that movie anymore, the sound of the tv in the background was so far by the vision she was having, Rachel is so beautiful and the little smiles she was giving because of something that was happening in the movie were making Quinn smile like a fool. Rachel was really staring at the tv, like, she didn't even blink. Quinn then looked down at her legs. fuck. Rachel was caressing her legs. Shit. She hated this, she hated the fact that she couldn't feel that. That was cruel, she wanted to feel that touch so badly. She couldn't walk, dance or do a lot of other things but not to feel Rachel's touch was the worst for her now. Quinn was frustrated, she wanted to scream, maybe tell Rachel to stop but she couldn't because somehow that was filling her up, that feeling was shaking her again and it was messing her head because she didn't know what it was, she just feels it, she can't explain. She looked up at Rachel's face and found beautiful brown eyes staring at her. They locked eyes.
-You can't feel it, can you?
Quinn wanted to make the movement to embrace Rachel, to kiss her. Woah where this thought came from? Quinn didn't know she just want to do this. It was killing her, she felt impotent.
-No. Quinn had already tears in her eyes
-Quinn, I'm sorry.
The door opened. They looked at the door. Quinn's parents arrived and it was almost dinner time.
-I should go. Rachel said as she put Quinn's legs back on the floor carefully
-Rachel wait. Quinn said still with tears in her eyes. Now Rachel is standing in front of her
-Thank you. Quinn said and opened her arms so Rachel could hug her. And Rachel did and whispered in her ear.
-It's ok Quinn, I'm here and everything will get better. I promise you.
They pulled away and smiled at each other. Rachel walked towards the door still open
-Hello Rachel, good evening, how was everything?
-hey Judy, everything was fine. I'm sorry I have to go, my dads must be waiting for me, I'm sorry, have a good night!
Rachel went straight to her car and didn't look back. Quinn's dad shut the door. Quinn was still on the couch, weeping quietly.
