Chapter 3-I Think About You:
Summary: Heartbreak brings people together. They never would have noticed each other had it not been for the worst act of betrayal they'd ever experienced.
AN: Hi, this is my first Faberry story and only my second glee fanfiction so sorry if it's not very good! Also, if you like listening to music while you read then for each chapter try listening to the song that it's named after.
Read and Review! :)
"I think about you every morning when I open my eyes
I think about you every evening when I turn out the lights
I think about you every moment, every day of my life
You're on my mind all the time, its true"
LAST TIME: Quinn and Rachel got revenge on Finn for cheating on them but then something unexpected happened…
Quinn had no idea what to do, for surely dating Rachel would be social suicide. And yet, she wanted it so badly-she'd always wanted it- but now it was in reach, she was scared.
As Quinn shut her locker door the said girl appeared from behind it, her hands on her hips. "I haven't seen you at glee, or anywhere. Why are you avoiding me Quinn? Why aren't you answering my texts? It's been two weeks since the kiss!"
Quinn slapped her hand over Rachel's mouth and dragged her into a corner.
"NEVER talk about that INCIDENT again! I've erased it from my memory."
"Not speaking about it doesn't make it go away! You can't take back your actions, you're going to have to confront this sooner or later."
"I choose later." Quinn snapped and hurried away.
Rachel frowned and marched back to the choir room.

"Don't know why
I'm surviving every lonely day
When there's got to be
No chance for me
My life would end
(And it doesn't matter how I cry)
My tears of love
Are a waste of time
If I turn away"
She stared at Quinn as she sung
"Am I strong enough to see it through?
Go crazy is what I will do
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh oh
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh...
Can't let go
And it doesn't matter how I try
I gave it all so easily
To you my love"
Quinn sung along under her breath.
"To dreams that never will come true
Am I strong enough to see it through?
Go crazy is what I will do."
Then the whole glee club joined in singing.
"If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh oh
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh..."
"If I can't have you! Oh!" Rachel and Quinn sang together.
Everyone else started singing with them again, but the only people the two of them could see were each other.
"If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh oh (No, don't want nobody)
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh... (I don't want nobody)
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh oh (No nobody)
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh... (No no, no no, no no, no!)
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If I can't have you, oh oh oh oh
If I can't have you!"
Quinn smiled sadly at Rachel and then turned her head to Santana and Brittany and began to talk to them.
The bell rang and Rachel headed out of the choir room (ready to go to the bathroom and cry) but a strong hand grabbed her arm and dragged her back into the empty choir room.
"You were singing that for me?" He asked.
Rachel shook her head in disgust and tried to pull away but the boy was too strong. "NO!"
"Then for who?" He questioned.
"Quinn..." She answered hesitantly.
"What? You're not a lesbian! You love me!" He protested, his voice raising to a violent shout, his hands digging into her shoulders.
"How could I love you after what you did to me Finn?!"
"But you can do so much better than her Rachel!"
"You mean as opposed to doing someone like you. Pft. I've done you Finn, and it wasn't even worth a quarter." She lied.
Growling, Finn yanked at Rachel's arm and pulled her into a kiss.
Rachel couldn't pull away from him and it was agony. The feeling of Finn's kissing wasn't half as good as she remembered. She'd much rather be kissing Quinn- but who was she kidding? Quinn would never like her. That kiss must just have been to try something- or to mess with Rachel's head.
When Finn continued to growl, moved his hands down to her lower body and pushed his tongue forward, a shout erupted from the door.
Quinn pushed it open and shoved Finn to the floor.
"Leave her alone!" She screamed, kicking Finn's stomach and then leaving him writhing on the floor as she grabbed Rachel's hand.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, Quinn." Rachel spoke shakily.
When the feeling of Rachel's fingers entwining with her own connected to Quinn, it was all she could do to pull away and say, "Rachel, I'm sorry I kissed you. It was wrong of me to lead you on like that. We can't have a relationship."
"Why not?" Rachel asked, trying to hide the fact that her heart was breaking. She hadn't realised it before Quinn kissed her, but she did harbour feelings for the beautiful blonde cheerleader.
"BECAUSE of so many reasons! My-"
"Reputation?"
"Rachel!" Quinn cried out, tears in her eyes. But the girl had already turned and ran.
Quinn sank to the floor, her sobs echoing around the room.
"Hey," Finn whispered. Quinn had forgotten he was there.
"What?" She snapped trying to wipe her tears away, but it was too late, he had already seen them.
"If you and Rachel are done- or never existed or whatever- can you help me get with her?" Finn questioned. "Ow!" He added at the throbbing pang from the slap he consequently received.
~~GLEE~~
"Mr Schuester?" Rachel said as soon as the glee director arrived at the rehearsal next day.
"Yes Rachel?" Mr Schue replied.
"I know I sang yesterday but if no-one else would like to then I would like to sing please."
Mr Schue nodded and asked the rest of the group if anyone wanted to sing but no-one said they did. So Mr Schue told Rachel to go ahead.
"This song really expresses my feelings right now." Rachel declared venomously. "Enjoy!"
"You change your mind like a girl changes clothes
Yeah, you PMS like a bitch I would know
And you, over think, always speak critically
I should know that you're no good for me" Quinn looked away and bit her lip but didn't say anything as Rachel continued.
"Cos you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
Its black and its white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
You-you don't really wanna stay-no
But you- you don't really wanna go-oh
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
Someone call the doctor
Got a case of a love bi-polar
Stuck on a roller coaster
Can't get off this ride
You change your mind like a girl changes clothes
Cos you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
Its black and its white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
You-you don't really wanna stay-no
But you- you don't really wanna go-oh
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down" Rachel finished with her hand on her hip in a confidant position but her voice shook on the last line, and Quinn noticed.
"Well done Rachel." Mr Schue said slowly. "That was uh- not as um- refined and polished as usual but it was an um very... emotional performance nonetheless.
Rachel nodded but she wasn't looking at her teacher. Her eyes stayed focussed on the back of the room- all her walls back up. She wouldn't let herself look at Quinn either- no matter how much the cheerio attempted to make eye contact.
"Mr Schuester, unless we're actually going to practise for sectionals, could I be excused? I have some algebra homework due first period." Rachel said, the lie sounding panicked and clearly false in her opinion, but there was nothing she could do. She had to get out of that room, the tension was too great
Mr Schue sighed but then he nodded.
A frustrated Quinn tried to stand up to follow Rachel, but as if sensing what she was about to do, Santana grabbed onto her friend so that she couldn't get up.
"Santana!" Quinn hissed. "I need-"
"Don't follow the hobb- Rachel just yet." Santana advised. "Wait a little while. Don't you think it will look weird if you leave straight after Rachel?" Quinn made a huffing noise but she had to admit that Santana was right.
So she watched the clock and after three minutes and one more performance she stood up and said "Mr Schue, could I go to the restroom?"
Mr Schue groaned. "Off you go Quinn! Why doesn't everyone just go then, seeing as we'll only have half a glee club soon?" He was being sarcastic but to his great surprise everyone stood up and left.
Had this been another time Quinn might have laughed. But this wasn't another time.
She speed walked to the nearest restroom (which she knew from experience was the quietest and most remote in the school- and therefore the best to go to cry) where she was hoping to find Rachel.
And indeed she did. For when Quinn pushed the door open the crying stopped but she had heard it.
Rachel wasn't standing at the mirrors, but only one door was shut.
"Rachel, are you in there?" Quinn asked, she just wanted to check in case she was about to look at some other girl with her pants down. "Well if it's you or not you'd better be decent 'cause I'm about to look over the top of the stall!"
Quinn headed into the stall next to the one she really hoped Rachel was in, stood on the closed toilet seat and looked over the top.
Thankfully it was Rachel, fully dressed and sitting on a closed toilet seat wiping her eyes with toilet roll.
"Hey," Quinn said, and Rachel looked up, her eyes red and puffy.
"Hi." She replied then put her head down again.
"Rachel I'm so sorry. Any girl- or boy- would be lucky to be your partner- but I just, I don't think WE should date. I'm sorry." Quinn tried to explain, even though the not wanting to date Rachel part of what she was saying was a complete and utter lie.
All she got for a reply was a sniff, and then Rachel blew her nose before talking. "Are you gonna go back to insulting me and throwing slushies at me whenever I turn?" She questioned.
"No." Quinn said with determination. "I never want you to go through that again. I care about you!" Rachel's face perked up. "Just not in that way." Another lie.
Rachel stood up unlocked the door and stood beside the mirror staring at her reflection and wiping her eyes. She was the most beautiful human being Quinn had ever seen, but she couldn't say that. Quinn followed her out and stood next to her, both of them staring forwards.
"I want us to be friends." Quinn said, then looked around as if scared that the whole school had heard, even though there was no-one in hearing range.
"Secret friends?" Rachel asked, clear upset in her voice.
"Nope. Real friends." Quinn declared and Rachel turned to look at her.
"Seriously? But that would damage your reputation." Rachel protested. "The thing you care most about." She added under her breath.
"Of course it won't! I'm Quinn Fabray. When I was pregnant I got kicked off the team and was a nobody, but I'm top dog now, people want to make it up to me." Quinn countered. "And even if they didn't I would still want to be friends with you Rach."
"Really?"
"Really."
Rachel squeaked in happiness and hugged Quinn.
