A/N: The ending of the original story might be changed and there might even be a sequel. I've been thinking of the many outcomes. Believe me, this version could and will be much more satisfying to read. Just because you read the original doesn't mean it's a waste of time to read this one.

Quinn woke up to the stench of scotch wrapping around her lungs, almost choking her. She quickly made her way to the toilet and threw up the raw contents in her stomach. She cradled her pain shot ribs and laid back. She slowly made her way to her bed stand to grab her glasses. Once she could see, she grabbed the little. She dressed in almost the same clothing as yesterday. Quinn had many of the same expensive jackets and pants. She shopped for clothes herself but was only allowed to shop at the high-end stores. Her father liked her having expensive brands so she didn't look 'cheap'. She gently pulled on her tight pants and put on her black cardigan with a white shirt under. Quinn got out of the house without her father calling her to the kitchen and she released the breath she was holding in.

Quinn has always been a smart kid. She was really good with breezing through her classes even when she was under her haze. The real learning part in school has always helped her forget about what she had to go home to. It took her mind off of things and let her escape this secret life she was living. Learning about past presidents or formulas always had a calming effect on her. It didn't hurt that she was more than brilliant and had a very high IQ.

Lunch rolled by and Quinn sat in her usual place off in the far corner of the room and looked over everyone in the room. She sat on a window seal while she ate her sandwich and almost choked when she noticed the beautiful brunette from the other day walking up to her. Before she could make a break for it, the girl was already in front of her.

"I'm sorry for keeping you from your lunch but I just wanted you to know that you don't have to sit outside the choir room."

Quinn started to feel uncomfortable and tried to stand up but the pain killers started fading away and her ribs ached. She tried to make it seem like she was just adjusting herself as she winced at the pain.

She looked down at her covered arms and pulled her sleeves as low as possible out of habit, "It's okay, I won't be sitting out there anymore. I know it could seem creepy of me-"

The girl cocked her head to the side like a confused puppy, "Why would it seem creepy?"

"Being known as the weird kid who sits and listens in on other people sing... It doesn't seem that great from my end." I rather not be known at all.

"You didn't seem weird to me. I enjoy having an audience other than the same people who don't recognize pure talent when it's smacking them in the face."
Quinn blushed at being complimented while the girl continued talking, "To be honest I was very flattered to find out that someone likes listening to me. I asked Mr. Shue if you could sit in the room with us while we practice."

"I told you that I couldn't sing-"

"Oh no, we're not asking for you to join the club.. I personally know how uncomfortable the floor must be. You can just pull a seat up and do your homework or simply listen to us if you want. No pressure."

Quinn thought about it for a few seconds while chewing her sandwich, "Mmkay.. As long as I don't have to be included in the singing or dancing."

The girl smiled, "I'm Rachel by the way. I didn't get the chance to introduce myself yesterday since you left in a rush."

Quinn was now able to fit a name with the person. Rachel suited her, "Sorry I just...I don't really hang out with anyone from school that often.. I'm Quinn Fabray"

Rachel nodded, "I see you with Puck once in a while under the bleachers.. He's in Glee club too. To be honest Quinn, I know you can dance.. I've seen you perform a few years back when you were on the team. Maybe you can even sing and just don't want to. I don't mind if you don't want to perform, I wouldn't want someone pushing me to do something I didn't want to do. Well it was nice meeting you. I'll see you later."

Quinn was surprised that Rachel recognized her from a few years back. She didn't recall ever seeing her at her dance meets. With how beautiful and talented Rachel is, it would be hard to forget someone who seems so special. She didn't know how anyone could remember herself. I'm far from special. Quinn kept feeling her stomach jump up to her heart and settle as she thought about how absolutely gorgeous Rachel was.

She was a nervous wreck by the time glee club came around. She knew she didn't even have to talk to anyone but this was the first time going inside of the room. Would they think she was weird or a freak for sitting in there without singing? Did Rachel tell them about her sitting outside of the room to listen to them everyday and they're just gonna ambush her? The only thing that made her keep walking toward the room was her excitement to see Rachel again. Quinn was surprised with how nice the girl was and it wasn't bad if she made one friend was it? Just one friend would be enough for Quinn. You'll probably ruin things Fabray. You always do.

Quinn came in the choir room very early and sat in the chair at the far corner to get a good look at everyone walking in. She tied her hair up so she didn't have a curtain of hair blocking her face.

The teacher walked in and noticed her, "You must be our audience I've heard about." Great here comes the scolding. "I'm Mr. Shue. Please don't hesitate to make yourself at home."

Quinn felt a sense of relief wash over her and nodded. Everyone came in one at a time and she made sure to take note of all of them. She eventually saw Rachel walk in and tried to hide her excited smile. She walked up and sat next to Quinn, causing the girl's stomach to do back flips. She turned to Rachel and smiled before pulling out a book and pretended to read while closely paying attention to the club. Rachel smiled in return and started tuning in to the conversations everyone was having.

Quinn felt surprisingly comfortable in there. The only person who talked to her was Puck who only said hello and winked at her. Quinn rolled her eyes at the gesture and nodded to him. The acoustics sounded better in there and every once in a while she'd glance up to see who was singing and was able to put the voices to the face.

Once Glee club was over, she grabbed her things and was about to head out when Rachel stopped her, "So, what'd you think?"

"It was lovely... It sounds so much better being in the same room as you guys."

Rachel tried to keep Quinn from quickly walking away by grabbing her arm but Quinn pulled away just as fast.

She was confused by the sudden alertness Quinn had but brushed it off, "Everyone was nervous to have you here.. They didn't say anything but I could tell that they were pushing themselves a bit more knowing they had someone who wasn't in the club listening to them."

"I hardly think I made a big impact."

Rachel gave a sad smile to Quinn, "You think so little of yourself.. It's not a bad thing to be confident Ms. Quinn Fabray.." Rachel saw that everyone was already out of the room and she smiled, "Why don't we continue this over coffee?"

"I wish I could but... I can't stay out too late. I actually have to go." Don't want daddy getting upset.

"I'll give you a ride-"

Quinn stopped her to avoid lying, "No! Really it's better if I just go home alone." Rachel's face fell and Quinn didn't like knowing it was her fault that she looked so sad so she tried cheering her up, "But today was nice... I can't wait to do the same thing tomorrow."

Rachel was baffled at the girl who rushed out of the choir room. She'd always been intrigued by Quinn. Looking in the corner of the lunch room to see her the blonde girl's eyes in a far off place, watching her walk home every once in a while by herself, and even ran into her at their school's dance meets a few years back. She wondered why Quinn stopped going to those since she was so good. She was easily the best dancer in that room. Rachel just sighed and figured they weren't close enough to ask anything like that yet. But hopefully they would be in time.

A/N: The next chapter will be focused on Quinn's home and mention what happened to her mother. Please review! I love feedback
