A/N: I'm sorry I haven't update. So I thought you guys deserved a semi-long chapter. So here it is.


After the storm out, Rachel walked right out to her car. She was furious. How can Quinn think she is so innocent? Like she never does anything wrong? She was a bitch! Okay, calm down Rachel. I guess you can say Rachel is pissed for multiple reason. She got into her car and drove home. Once home, she sat down on the couch and thought over the reasons why she didn't like Quinn. The big one was she had sex with Puck. Will he didn't actually know, but it still counted. Ever since middle school, Rachel had always compared herself to Quinn. The blonde hair that fell perfectly against the girl's shoulder. Or her green eyes. Or he perfect hourglass body. Rachel got up from the couch, making her way up to her room. Once there, she stripped herself down to her underwear and stood infront of the mirror. She looked at herself. She turned to the side pushing out her stomach and pulling it back in. She faced the mirror again and she slowly raised her hands above her head, pushing her chest out. She turned around, so her backside was facing the mirror, she turned her head to look at the mirror. Before looking towards the door, in the mirror's reflection, and seeing Puck's eyes staring back at her. She shrieked, and ran to her bathroom, grabbing he silk robe from the door hanger. She calmly walked back into the room her cheeks tinted pink.

"Noah, how long were you there? And why the fuck didn't you knock?" She said faking anger, hiding her embarresment.

"You gave me, Santana and Sam a key to your house and you left your door wide open. What were you doing?" He asked studing her.

"Comparing." She said simply before walking into her closet. She emerged from the closet dressed in sweats and a tank-top.

"Comparing what?"

"Nothing of your concern." Rachel said flatly. She grabbed her phone, and texted Santana.

Noah caught me comparing myself to Quinn and every other girl he has been with.-RB*

"Rachel, what were you doing?" Puck asked again, this time firmer.

"Again, Noah. I. Was. Comparing. and it has nothing to do with you." Rachel said sharply. Her phone dinged, alerting her that she got a text message.

Shit. What do you want me to do.-San

Come over, NOW-RB*

"Who is that?"

"Santana, she is coming over."

"Oh. Okay."

"Okay...?" Rachel said before getting up and going to the kitchen. Santana came running in.

"What does he know? Did you tell him anything?What did he say?"

"What do you have to tell me?" Santana and Rachel turned to look at Puck.

"Um... What you cuaght me doing was comparing my stomach size. To umm..." She looked at Santana.

" To see what she will look like when she is pregnant with me and Britt's baby is 5 years."

"Yeah, that."

"Really?"

"Yep. I suggest that I carry them, because San is kinda mean. And Britt could not handle the pain." Rachel said covering up quickly.

"Okay." Puck said, not actually believing it.

"Alright." They later invited Sam over and the four of them hung out for the rest of the night. Puck still looking at Rachel, trying to figure out what she was doing.

Quinn looked at herself in the mirror. She grabbed a fist full of hair and cut it. She watched as her hair fell into the sink below. Once finished, she stared back at herself. She needed to change. She wanted to be better. After giving birth to Beth, she pretended there wasn't a little girl, that looked just like her, out there somewhere. She was getting help. She had been talking to a therpist since Rachel screamed at her and told her off. Rachel was right, she was a horrible girl. She needed to change, not only for herself, but if she ever wanted to know Beth in the future. She need to change, if she wanted to show Sam she was ready to love him, and just him. Finn was toxic. Not only to her, but also to himself. He could never choose between Rachel and her. In the end it just broke two fragile girls' hearts. She need help! She had come to a cunclusion, that when she is on the Cheerios, she is a total bitch. She needed to quit. Sue told them to act like that. That they were better than the rest of the population of McKinley, when actually the population was better than the Cheerios or Jocks. She needed to change!

Rachel walked into the choir room the next day. When she looked at the seats, she saw Quinn with shorter hair. There was a sad expression on her face, and you could see the dried tears on her cheeks. Even though Quinn was a bitch, Rachel would never walk away from someone who was crying.

"Are you okay, Quinn?" Rachel asked, sitting down next to the blonde.

"Not really. I'm sorry." Quinn whispered, loud enough for Rachel to hear. Rachel sat shocked. Quinn had just apoligized to her.

"What's wrong, Quinn?"

"You were right. I'm horrible. I always thought I was above everyone, because it was what I grew up being taught. I made fun of my friends. I was a complete bitch, meanwhile everyone of you sat back and took it. And you took the most of it. I'm a cheater and pretty much a slut. You are amazing Rachel. You are so compassionate, and always look out for every single Glee Club member. I'm so sorry I treated you like shit. I'm getting help now. I've been seeing a therpist since Tuesday. I pretended for 2 years that Beth never existed. That there wasn't a little girl who looked like me, out there somewhere. I need to show people that I am changing. I can't lose my real friends, which are in this club. I need to show Sam, that I'm sorry. That I love him. That I loved him so much when we went out last year. I fucked up, which happens alot. I just figured that he would eventually break up with me, like every other guy has. I couldn't handle another broken heart. He was the perfect boyfriend and I didn't deserve him. He was so kind and sweet. And I'm so sorry, I hurt him. I'm sorry to Puck too. He didn't deserve what I did to him. He tried to take responsablity, but I wouldn't let him. I called him a Lima Loser, when all actually he will probably get out of here as long as you are by his side. I am nothing compared to you and I'm truely sorry, Rachel." Quinn said as tears slipped down her cheeks.

"You know, I compare myself to you. I mean after I found out you had sex with Noah, I kinda lost it. I didn't speak to him for weeks. It was 3 months later that I finally talked to him. I was heartbroken. Finding out you two slept together, broke me. I mean since 7th grade, I've always compared myself to you. You were always prettier than me. With the blonde hair and the perfect body. Then when I found out you were pregnant with Noah's child, I really lost it. Remeber when I was out those 3 days-" Quinn nodded. "- I wasn't on a trip with my Dads. I was home sitting in my bedroom, crying my eyes out for 3 days. Not only did I cry but I destoryed half my room. The last day, I cleaned it up. After that, I told Finn. Not because I wanted him, but cause I wanted to hurt you. And I know that sounds horrible, but I wasn't thinking. When the truth came out, I ignored Noah, and I said sorry to you. You didn't deserve me telling Finn, to hurt you." Rachel said, her own tears falling down her cheeks. Quinn grabbed ahold of her hand.

"You shouldn't compare us. You are beautiful. I didn't always look like this. I use to be fat. I use to wear glass and I had a pimply face and braces. I changed the way I looked because I hated myself. But you Raachel are one of the most beautifulest girls I have ever seen. Honestly, I think Puck feels the same way as you, but he kind of is emotionally stunted.-" They both laughed. "But seriously Rachel, don't compare yourself to anyone!" Quinn said looking into Rachel's eyes wipping away the tears that fell.

"You know, I can already see that you are changing. It might take time for other people to see, but what you just said, shows that you are no longer the popular cheerleader, who picked on the weak." Rachel smiled, amazed at Quinn.

"Thank you. I hope people will see. Especially Sam. I still love him, and I know it will take a long time for him to trust me, but I really love him. Now, that I am off the cheerios, I want to show everyone the real me." Quinn said. Rachel just noticing the blonde was no longer in the famous Cheerio uniform.

"I think they will see this new Quinn and be really suprise. Quinn... I liked to try to be friends. Only if you want though." Rachel said.

"I would really like that."

"I'm gonna hug you now." Rachel hugged Quinn. The bell rang.

"Time for lunch. Care to join me." Rachel said.

"Are you sure."

"I'm sure Quinn." and they walked towards the cafe.

XXXX

When Rachel walked in the cafeteria, Quinn right by her side, Santana, Puck and Sam, came running up to them.

"What the fuck Rachel?! Why are you walking with that bitch?" Santana all but screamed.

"Santana! That was hurtful. You should say that to anyone."

"Are you fucking kidding me! She is a bitch. You know that, I know that, the whole school knows that."

"Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. I don't want to cause a problem between you and your friends Rachel. I'll just go eat in the choir room. I'm sorry." Quinn said, turning around. Rachel grabbed her arm as she turned.

"Quinn." She called softly, "Look at me please." When Quinn turned around, Rachel could see the tears in her eyes. "You don't have to eat by yourself. I'll come with you. We can talk."

"No, Rachel. Stay with your friends." Quinn said, the tears finally falling. "Santana's right. I'm a bitch. And I don't deserve your friendship, or anyone to forgive me." Quinn said. You could hear the hurt, and the sob that was trying to escape, in her voice.

"You are my friend Quinn. I said I forgive you. Now that you are off the Cheerios, you are going to need someone. I plan on being that someone. You said sorry to me. You want to show people, you are changing. You want their forgivness. And if my friends can't do it-" She said, turning to Santana, "-Then they can fuck themselves." She said grabbing Quinn's hand a walking straight out of the cafe, leaving a hurt and pissed of Santana, and a gaping Sam and Puck.

"Why the hell would you say that, San? She isn't going to talk to us now." Sam said, still staring at the spot Quinn was just standing in, crying infront of the whole school.

"Damnit San." Puck said.

"Are you fucking kidding me. She was hanging out with Quinn. The same Quinn that use to torment her and broke your heart Sam. I just wanted to protect her when Quinn turned a bitch again... Wait. Did Rachel say Quinn was off the Cheerios?"

"Yes." Puck said.

"We have to find them." Sam said, walking out the doors of the Cafeteria, Puck and Santana following.

XXXXXX

Rachel and Quinn sat in the choir room. Quinn was sobbing, saying short sentences inbetween each gut-wrenching sob.

"San was right" sob "I'm horrible" sob "You" sob "shouldn't be my" sob "friend"

Rachel had her arms wrapped around the crying girl. "Quinn, I will be your friend. You need someone. I won't stand her and watch you cry by yourself." Rachel said, rubbing her hand down Quinn's back.

"Santana won't ever forgive me. Sam will never forgive me or love me again. Puck will never forgive me. The Glee club, won't forgive. Why would they? I spent 3 and a half years tormenting them. I certinly don't deserve your forgiveness. Sam is the love of my love, and he wont ever forgive me or love me. And I don't deserve him to. I was a horrible girlfriend. I cheated, but only because I knew he would break up with me." Quinn said before crying again.

"Quinn, you never know. I'm pretty sure most of the Glee Club will forgive you. I'm sure Noah has already forgive you. San and Sam, might be tough, but eventually they will forgive you too. I forgave you because what you said in the here earlier was the nicest thing someone has ever said to me and that includes my bestfriends." Rachel said, truthfully. "Quinn, if they can't see that you are different, then I say fuck them. For gods sake, you cried infront of the whole school, while in the cafeteria. I mean you walked in with me and you quit the Cheerios. I will always be your friend, no matter what my friends say. They can't tell me not to be friends with you." Rachel said seriously. At that moment, the 3 freinds walked into the choir room. Sam was looking at Quinn, while the blonde sobbed into Rachel's shoulder. Rachel looked up at her 3 bestfriends.

"If you came here to be assholes, I suggest you turn around and leave us the fuck alone." Rachel snapped, still rubbing Quinn's back.

"We're sorry, but can you blame us. She was horrible to you and she broke Sam's heart." Quinn let out a loud sob and buried her face farther into Rachel's shoulder while Rachel glared at Santana.

"San, how about you shut the fuck up. I understand where you are coming from, but I talked to her. I know what she is thinking and feeling. She said sorry to me. I forgave her and that is my decision, not yours. She is hurting. I'm gonna be there for her, no matter what the 3 of you say." Rachel snapped, glaring at her friends, while holding Quinn closer.

"What do you mean she is hurting? and Why is she off the Cheerios? Is she pregnant again?" Santana sneered the end.

"SANTANA!" Quinn let out another sob, "You are being a cruel bitch right now. And no she isn't pergnant. And I can't believe you would say that. Anyway, no she quit the Cheerios. She is changing herself into a better person, and I believe she can do." Rachel said finally getting up, walking right up to her three best-friends. "And if you can't support me, as my best friend, than I don't want anything to do with any of you. Sam, I know she broke your heart, I was there, but you don't know her side, or her reason. Noah, I know you were hurt about the whole sex and impregnation with her, but did you ever consider her feeling to it? Or anyone elses?" Rachel stoped mid-step towards them. She had just let it semi-slip that she was affected by it. Santana looked at Rachel, and Rachel turned wide eyes to her Best-friend. "Quinn..." She called. Quinn looked up with red, puffy eyes, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Let's go. We are going to get ice-cream." Rachel said, turning around grabbing Quinn's hand and her bag. She looked at Santana, "I'll will see you later. We're gonna talk." Rachel said before leaving the choir room, pulling Quinn with her, leaving the 3 freinds standing their shocked.

"What the hell does she mean but anyone else's feelings?" Puck asked, trying to figure out who Rachel was talking about.

"Shit, Shit, Shit, Shit, Fucking Shit." Santan started to mutter, pacing the floor. "Shit. Must be mad enough. Let it slip. Fuck. Explain. Damnit." She kept muttering and pacing. She didn't stop, until Sam grabbed her arms, and forcing her to sit in one of the chairs.

"What's going on San?" Sam asked.

"I can't tell either of you. It's not my place." Santana said, softly.

"When have you ever kept a secret Satan?" Puck asked stepping infront of her.

"I have kept the same secret for the past 2 years. And I'm not gonna betray my best-friend by tell you." Santana said, before getting up and walking out of the room.

XXXXX

Rachel walked into her house. She had dropped Quinn off at her house, after they got ice-cream to cheer them both out. Rachel was thinking over what she had done in the choir room. She had let it slip that Noah and Quinn had hurt more than Finn and themselves. She had no idea if he figured it out. If he did, then she was gonna hide forever. How could she have been so stupid! Also, she had threatened her friends that she would never talk to them again, if they didn't support her being friends with Quinn, even though they were probably thinking they were protecting her. She took her phone out of her bag, sending a quick text to Santana.

I'm home. Come whenever. I'll be here, telling myself I'm stupid for the almost slip up.-RB*

I'll be there in 10-SL.

True to her word, 10 minutes later, Santana came bursting through the door.

"Do any of you knock anymore?" Rachel asked, amused that her friends think they live here.

"Because I am like your sister, so suck it up! Anyway, what the fuck?"

"Can you explain the what you fuck, so I can explain it to you."

"Okay, Okay. First of, what the fuck with Quinn?"

"Okay that's kind of a long story, I'll try to shorten. Okay, so I was walking into the choir room, and Quinn was sitting there rying, and you know I have a weakness for crying people. So anyway, she apologized to me. I mean it was shocking. She then went on a long spell about how horrible she was and is, and how she needed to change. She wanted to show Sam that she really loved him-" She heard Santana scoff "- no I'm serious. She said he was the love of her life, but she was afraid he would break-up with her, when he saw that she wasn't good enough for him. That she couldn't handle another heartbreak. So that is why she cheated, but I'm pretty sure her heart still broke. Then she went into a spell about how sorry she was about Noah, about me, about Sam, about everyone she treated like shit. She said she didn't deserve forgiveness from any of us, and that was what broke my heart. She doesn't deserve that feeling. Then I told her how much it hurt to find out Noah and Quinn had sex and then Quinn was pregnant with his first child. I forgave her because she was so weak. I mean she cried infront of the whole school." Rachel said.

"Okay, yeah I guess I wasn't thinking when I saw you guys walk in with each other. I guess I was jealous some how. I'm sorry. I should forgive Quinn, she deserves that at least. You know it's gonna take alot for Puck and Sam to forgive her, right?"

"Yeah, I know. I just want them to see that she is changing. I want them to hear her out."

"Okay next question. What the hell, you almost let it slip that it hurt when Puck told you about Baby Gate. Also, kinda would have told him you are inlove with him."

"I know. Did you not see that I paniced and left in a rush?"

"Yea I saw."

"Do you think he knows?"

"No. I pretty sure he has no clue. Because he wanted me to tell, and I said I couldn't because it wasn't my place to."

"Thank you,S." Rachel said hugging her BFF.

"Alright, movie time."

The next day, Rachel and Santana walked into school. They separated to go to their lockers. Rachel was just switching her books, when she felt a presents next to her.

"Hey" Puck's voice came from her left side.

"Oh. Hey, Noah." Rachel said turning to face her crush.

"So...umm what was up yesterday? and Why are you hanging with Quinn?" Puck said blundly.

"Okay, I'm hanging out with Quinn, because we are working on a friendship. She was crying yesterday, and she told me she was sorry for everything she did. I forgave her. Anything else?" Rachel said shutting her locker.

"Yea, what did you mean 'Did you consider anyone else's feelings?"

" I meant Finn." Rachel lied.

"Really?" Puck said, knowing she was lying.

"Yes." She said simply, before walking away.

"What the hell just happened?" Puck said to himself, walking the opposite direction.

XXXXX

"Hey" Rachel said walking up to Quinn.

"Hey. What's up?" Quinn said.

"You wanna try saying to the Glee Club today?" Rachel asked.

"Yeah. I need them to forgive me. They are all I have left now." Quinn said, dejected.

"Quinn they will forgive you. They have in the past and they will now. Hell they even forgave me for sending Sunshine to a crack house." Rachel said comforting her.

"Yeah, than can we work on Puck. I want to tell him sorry, and I think I would feel better if he forgave me." Quinn said.

"I think that after you explain, he will forgive you." Rachel said "Come on, lets get to class."

Later that day, Quinn and Rachel walked into the choir room, standing in the center of the room, looking at the entire Glee Club. They were still glaring at Quinn.

"Okay, guys, I know you are still mad at Quinn, but can you let her explain?"

"Why should we forgive her? She has been a bitch to us." Kurt sneered.

"I know okay, I was once a victim of that. But I forgave her. Please just listen to her." Rachel said grabbing onto Quinn's hand.

"Fine" Mercedes said.

"Go ahead Quinn." Rachel said encouraging her.

"Okay, I know I was a bitch. I was horrible to all of you, and I'm really sorry. I don't deserve your forgiveness, even though Rachel says I do. So I wont be suprised if you don't forgive me. I know I was really horrible. I stabbed most of you in the back. I cheat on you Finn and you Sam. I called all of you names. I slushied all of you. And I am so, so, sorry. I hate myself for it. I'm sorry Puck for saying you were a Lima loser. I'm sorry for trying to keep you from Beth. Having her adopted, without really talking to you. I'm sorry Sam for cheating on you and breaking your heart. Finn I'm sorry for cheating on you. The rest of you, I'm sorry for being horrible to you. I pretended that Beth never existed, that I was never pregnant. That there wasn't a little girl that looked a mix of me and Puck. It really screwed me up. The I was put back on the Cheerios and Sue drilled it in my head that I was better than all of you. Which I'm not. Sam one day, I want to explain why I cheated on you, when ever you are ready to talk to me or if you ever want to. Puck, I really want to talk to you about everything that happened. I'm really sorry." Quinn said a few tears falling from her eyes. All a sudden Rachel felt 10 pairs of arms wrapping her in a group hug. Quinn finally let the tears flow. They released her. Kurt stepping in front of her, grabbing her hands in his.

"We forgive you. But don't ever think you don't deserve forgiveness or that you are not better than us. Quinn you are an amazing girl, who will be getting out of this town, just like the rest of us." Kurt said, wipping the tears that fell down Quinn's face.

"Thank you" Quinn whispered. Rachel walked over to Sam and Puck, who were still sitting in their seats.

"I would really like if you guys would listen to her." Rachel said sitting down between them. "I understand that you might not want to, but she really is sorry."

"I don't know." Sam said.

"Sam, I know she broke your heart. But I want you to understand why she did it. I don't think she did because of the way she cheated. Please listen to her."

"Okay." Sam said. "I will."

"Thank you, Sam."

"What about you, Noah."

"Do I have a choice."

"Nope."

"I guess I will."

"Thank you."

XXXXX

"Alright Quinn, Sam and Puck are gonna talk to you, right now." Quinn said grabbing her hand. "Do you want me to stay?" Quinn nodded. They walked back into the choir room. The only people in the room were them, Puck and Sam. They sat down infront of them.

"Listen to her. Do not interupt her, or I will hit you." Rachel warned.

"Okay." Puck and Sam said.

"I'll talk to you first Puck, since I think it will be easier to understand. Okay, I was wrong to drug you to have sex with you. I just wanted to get back at Finn for hang out and kissing Rachel. It was wrong, and I understand why you hate me. I hate myself too. I am also sorry for trying to keep Quinn from you, and then making the decision of adopting her out, without talking to you. I'm really sorry. I'm sorry I made you lie to your best friend. I'm sorry I told you that you would be a Lima loser and that you would make a horrible father. You won't, you will make a great father to your future children. You are totally going to get out of Lima. I'm so sorry." Quinn said, tear filling her eyes.

"Now you may talk, Noah."

"I forgive you, Quinn. Yeah, it was horrible of you to do that stuff, but I forgive you. And thank you for telling me I will be a good father." Puck said.

"Thank you for forgiving me. Sam" she said turning toward to Sam. "I'm sorry I cheated on you. You didn't deserve me. I'm sorry that I broke your heart. But you don't understand that my heart broke too. I know that doesn't make sense. I believed that I wasn't good enough for you. That you would soon realize that, and break up with me. You would realize that you were better off without me. You are the love of my life, and I couldn't handle that. I'm sorry, and I understand if you never want to forgive me and talk to me. I'm sorry Sam, but I want you to know that I love you." Quinn said, the tears finally falling.

"Thank you for explaining it Quinn, but you need to stop putting yourself down. You are amazing. I love you too. It's gonna take time for me to fully trust you again, but I would like to start over." Sam said, moving forward, face to face with Quinn, his hand brushing against her cheek.

"I would really like that." Sam leaned forward and crushed his lips against hers.

"I feel like we are interupting this, so I'm gonna go. You coming, Noah?"

"Yea. See you later Sam. Quinn." Neither seperated to say goodbye.


A/N: I know that Sam forgiving Quinn was fast, but because I just wanted to get it over with. Also what would you guys like to see in the next chapter? In the next chapter, the rest of the club will sing. Sorry for the lack of Puckleberry, but it will be in the next chapter. Please leave a review. Thanks for reading.

Love you all!
