Fall Into Me.
A/N: So, two chapters on one day. Had some extra time and decided that I would give you all a little more to read. :) Though I should warn you this is only the second week of classes and as the weeks roll on I will find myself with less time to deal with. So I will probably only be able to get 1 or 2 chapters a week up. This one is a little shorter, but the next will be longer. :) Read and review, please.
Chapter two: Here for You.
That night Quinn found herself laying in bed with a bewildered expression on her face, still unable to get stupid Rachel Berry to leave her mind and let her sleep. Stupid Finn for fighting with Rachel and making her upset. If he had not of then she would be miles into dream land by now. Again she was questioning why she was so concerned with the brunette being upset, it was not like they were friends. On the other hand she knew that Rachel had been there for her a few times when she as upset. She even stuck around to dry her tears minutes after she slapped her across the face.
Could they actually be friends, something more than this weird relationship where they would tolorate the other when need be. Maybe that was just Quinn though, she had a suspicion that Rachel actually wanted to be her friend. Why else would she put up with the shit that the Blonde had put her through. She was sorry for actions of the past, but she knew that she could not change them. No matter how much she wanted to. Her eyes widened slightly in the darkened room, as if she were trying to see something beyond the shadows that danced across the walls. Since when did she want to fix things with Berry?
"Fuck you, Berry."
Her words were barley audible as the drifted past her lips and into the pillow that she was not clinging to. Sleep took hold of her moments later. Though she would still have the young star on her mind as she slept.
Rachel knew this day would be worse than the one before when Finn sent her a text message saying that he wouldn't be picking her up to take her to school. Rolling her eyes she did her best to keep her temper form rising to her arm and throwing the small device across the room. She would not let it bother her. Though now that she thought about it she realized that was the first thing that he had said to her since their fight in the hall yesterday. Sometimes she wondered why it was she even bothered trying to stay with him.
She knew she would be happy with someone else. However far fetched that idea maybe to her she still held on to some form of hope. She knew that was the reason she was still dating Finn, she knew that as long as she was with him she would never have the chance to talk herself into making an advance on the one person that made her heart drop just by looking at them. The one person who she was constantly trying to keep from entering her mind, and when they did she was quick to divert her thoughts to something else.
It never worked.
She leaned back against the counter in her kitchen and blew out a mass of air, she wished that it was all the feelings she had for the person that was not Finn that she was blowing out of her system. She needed this need to quiet itself inside her and stop screaming at her to work its will. She couldn't `t hurt him and she knew that if she were even to try to make a move towards someone like Quinn Fabray, then the pain that would follow that would be immensely greater than any inner turmoil that was running through her veins in the place of blood.
She arrived at school 20 minutes later and parked just as Finn was getting out of his truck. He glanced her way but looked away quickly to make it seem like he had not noticed her at all. What was his problem?
Sighing louder than she needed to she rested her head against the steering wheel. She should just go home now and avoid the awkwardness that today was sure to bring. Lifting her head when she hear a car pull in next her hers it was all that she could do not to sigh again. Quinn Fabray met her eyes with a small smile as she put the car in park. Really? She thought dryly. Of all the people to park next to her it had to be Quinn.
Her mind floated back to the encounter the two had shared the day before after Finn walked away like the Drama queen he was at times. The hug had perplexed her and lingered on her mind long after she had pulled away from Quinn's arms. She was not used to that kind of behaviour from the blonde and was sure that there were other motives to her trying to cheer her up. Or maybe she was wrong and Quinn was no longer that immature school girl that she had been at the first of the previous year.
Who was she kidding, people like Quinn Fabray never changed, and that was the reason that she was holding on to whatever littler she had with the WMHS quarterback.
With more effort than she thought should be needed she gathered her bag and pushed out of the car, just as Quinn was shutting her door.
"You still have that sad look on your face that you did yesterday." Quinn sad her own smile faltering as she looked into Rachel's eyes. God, why did she even care. She should be irritated by the fact that she cared what feelings were working their way through Rachel, but she wasn't. She jst wanted to make sure that she was okay, again.
"Well Finn is still being an ass." She said bluntly as she began to walk towards the school. Quinn moved forward the few steps and walked beside was not like her at all. Usually she would go on some long ranting explanation.
"I am sorry, is there anything that I can do?"
Rachel Stopped instanly and glared at the Blonde pointing a finger in her face.
"listen Quinn, I don't know what you are up to, or what your next plan to humiliate me is, but I want you to stop this. I am not in the mood for it and my emotions cannot handle seeing this nice side of you." she paused as her eyes got wider and she knew that she had said too much.
Quinn was just looking at her with a slightly confused, yet intrigued look on her face.
" I am sorry Quinn, but I will no longer take your bullshit. You are almost always up to something and I know this is no different. So do me a favour and just stop talking to me."
She stormed off in typical Rachel Berry fashion and Quinn was left standing there more confused than she had been in quite some time. She shook her head and started following the brunette's foot steps into the school.
Though they had 3 classes together neither girl dared to look at the other. Quinn didn't know what to do. She wanted to talk to her to assure her that there were not alterior motives to her showing compassion. Though she could see where Rachel was coming from, she had been a vile person to her in the past.
By the time Glee practice rolled around Quinn had it set in her head that she was going to make Rachel see that she had changed and that she really wanted to help her with whatever it was that was causing so much turmoil in her emotions. She had not smiled all that day that Quinn had noticed and it was a foreign sight. She was supposed to be wearing that Rachel smile.
Whoa! Since when had Quinn noticed her smile? To say that all these new thoughts were messing with her mind was an understatement and she was sure that she would never figure them out. There was nothing that she could do to understand it. And if she was being honest with herself she knew that she did not want to.
Once everyone had seated themselves in the choir room Quinn stood and went to the front of the group.
Mr. Shue nodded and let her start.
"I am singing this song because someone needs to know there is more to people than what they have been in the past..." she let that linger as her eyes focused on Rachel's. Which did not go unnoticed my Finn. Who simply crossed his arms and pouted.
The first words left her lips and she tried not to focus on Rachel, who was looking at her with an expression that she could not read. She was hiding behind her wall and that fact scared Quinn, was she really that terrible that she would not accpet a helping hand.
So you think you've got it all figured out
Well you know you can't make it alone
Everybody needs somebody to help them out
And you know I could be that someone
And if you ever get lost on life's highway
Don't know where to go
There's just one thing that I want you to know
Chorus:
I am here for you, always here for you
When you need a shoulder to cry on
Someone to rely on, I am here for you
So you think that love is long overdue
Tired of looking for someone to care
Let me tell you now the choice is up to you
But you know I will always be there
I am here for you, always here for you
When you're needin' someone to hold you
Remember I told you
I am here for you
I am here for you
So now you've got it all figured out
And you know you've found someone that cares
And if you ever need somebody to help you out
Well you know I will always be there
And if you ever get lost on life's highway
Don't know where to go
There's just one thing that I want you to know
She never looked to Rachel once during the course of the song, but now that the last word hung in the air she dared a look and she was taken back. Tears in the eyes of the young star was not what she had been expecting to see.
"Very good, Quinn." Mr. Shue clapped along with everyone else. Everyone except Rachel Berry. There was an uncomfortable sinking in her chest that she cared not to think about.
Guys, I would really appreciate hearing what your thoughts are on this? Pretty please, leave a review. :)
