Rachel was siting at Bread sticks waiting for Finn to show up. She had called him and texted him about 3 times and still no answer. She had asked him to meet her here after her trip with Kurt to the NYADA mixer. She wanted to talk to Finn about what had happen and he suggested that they head to a late dinner and now he was a no show. She didn't know if she should feel sad or disappointed, at an upset moment like this she had no support from her boyfriend.

She had decided to leave when she saw Jacob rushing to her. She was to late and he had reached the table before she had a chance to get up and leave.

"Hi Rachel. You are looking smoking in that dress." Jacob smiled his creep smile and sat across from her.

"Um, Hi Jacob." Rachel said with a fake smile.

"You look lonely here, should we order something." Jacob said ready to signal a waiter to come to the table.

"Uh no actually I'm just about to leave." Rachel reached to grab her stuff.

"What's it going to take for you to have dinner with me? Don't think I didn't notice you here all by yourself. You wouldn't want the school to know that Finn ditched you tonight." Jacob said he sported a threaten look and was already reaching for his phone that was in his pocket.

"I'm not here by myself okay! And don't you threaten me Jacob oh so help me.." Rachel pointed her finger at him

"You have no power here Rachel! So about that dinner?"

Before Rachel could respond a voice interrupted her, she looks up and saw a blond head girl standing on Jacob's side staring at her.

"Hey sorry I'm late, You look beautiful." The mystery girl said while looking at Rachel. Rachel still confused couldn't help but blush a little. She saw how the mystery girl turned to face Jacob. "Why are you still sitting here? Walk away"

The threat in her voice made Jacob fly out the booth and far away from Rachel as possible. Rachel couldn't help but laugh a little watching Jacob trip over his own feet while leaving through the exit doors.

She looked at the girl as she took a sit across from her. "I'm sorry, I couldn't help but look over and see you needed a little help." She smiled as she saw a small smile form on Rachel's mouth. "I'm Quinn Fabray." She extend her hand and Rachel politely shook it.

"I'm Rachel Berry. Thank You. You saved me from an uncomfortable dinner. Its not the first time he bothers me."

"Ah town creep I see." Quinn chuckled

"You can say that." Rachel smiled staring at the girl in front of her. "As a way of me thanking you, would you mind having dinner with me. Unless your busy its fine."

"Yeah that sounds nice. I was actually exploring the town and wanted a place to eat. This was the first good place I saw." Quinn said

"You must definitely be new if you think Bread sticks is good." Rachel laughed

"Is it that easy to tell?" Quinn pouted a little bit

"Its a small town, everyone knows everybody and you aren't a familiar around here."

"Ah explains why a lot of people keep staring at me. Is everyone a creep?"

Rachel laughed. "No they're just curious, wanting to know everything about you."

"I want to know everything about you." Quinn closed her eyes and chuckled "I'm sorry that slipped out."

Rachel smiled. "Its fine. Lately not everyone wants to know about me."

"Now I find that hard to believe, you seem special."

"You don't even know me." Rachel looked at her curiously

"Yeah, but I said I want too. You seem a little interesting"

Rachel faked a gasp. "Only a little?"

Quinn chuckled "Well you did say I didn't know you."

Rachel smiled. They both ordered dinner and ate in silence. Quinn kept darting her eyes to Rachel every couple of minutes. Rachel felt like she was being stared at and she couldn't help but smile at it. Every time she would eat with Finn and he would stare at her she would hate it. It was like he was undressing her with his eyes. Ugh she shouldn't even be thinking about Finn, she was angry with him. Even after the hour longer she stayed because of Quinn, he was still a no show.

Rachel was snapped out of thoughts when she saw a hand waving in her face. She looked at Quinn who was talking to her. "I'm sorry what?"

Quinn laughed "I've been calling your name for the past few minutes."

"I'm sorry that was really rude of me."

"Its cool. The waiter just wants to know if you wanted anything else to eat?"

"Uh no. The salad was fine. Thank You."

The waiter nodded and turned to Quinn asking if she would like anything else.

"Uh nah. Could I have the check tho?" The waiter nodded and walked off. Quinn looked at Rachel. "Are you sure you wouldn't want anything else? You just had a salad, are you sure that filled you up?"

Rachel laughed "The salad was fine. Plus this place isn't vegan friendly, so I really wouldn't want anything else."

"Oh so your a vegan?" Rachel nodded "Well I'm sorry for eating the bacon cheeseburger in front of you. It was to delicious not destroy."

"Poor little pigs!" Quinn laughed at Rachel antics

The waiter came back with the check. Quinn had wanted to pay for the both of them, but Rachel beat her to it handing her card to the waiter. They both gather their things and headed out of Bread sticks.

Once they both reached Rachel's car, Rachel looked at the time and it was only 9pm. She turned to face Quinn. "Did you drive here?"

"Yeah. My car is right over there." Quinn pointed to a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro that was parked in another lane.

"That's a nice car."

"Yeah my dad gave it to me before we moved here. I'm not really a car girl tho. I like riding my motorcycle, but it hasn't come in yet" Quinn looked down at her feet.

"Well you must be really depressed about that?"

Quinn chuckled "Something like that."

"Okay." Rachel turned to open her car and then turned back to Quinn "Um, would you like to go on a walk through the park. It's only 9pm, it not really that late and the weather seems to be clearing up. It could give you a chance to see the town a bit more. And I could show you around."

Quinn stood there shocked at how Rachel could say all of the without taking a breath. "Yeah that would be awesome."

Rachel smiled and dropped her purse off in her car. She lead the way to the park.

It was a quiet night, there wasn't a lot of people in the park. The lamp poles laminated the way to the park. Quinn looked around as they walked. Rachel lead them to a small bench at the entrance of the park.

"What do you think of the town so far?"

"Different. Feels like everyone just stares at you."

"Told you."

Quinn laughed a little. She looked at Rachel and saw her staring at her fingers. "Rachel?"

Rachel looked up at Quinn. "If you don't mind me asking. Why were you having dinner by yourself?"

Rachel sighed and looked around before answering. "I was actually just waiting for my boyfriend, he kind of bailed on me."

"Ah trouble in paridise I see."

"No! No trouble. Actually everything is great."

"There must be something wrong. I don't think you would be this upset just because he bail."

"You wouldn't understand."

"Try me. Tell me what's wrong."

"You don't even know me. Wouldn't it be weird just venting your problems to a stranger?" Rachel looked at Quinn curiously.

Quinn chuckled "Actually I don't find it weird. Its a great idea, you know just talking to someone that doesn't know you might actually help you. Me knowing nothing about you doesn't give me the option to judge me."

Rachel looked hesitant at Quinn. "So I could lie to you and say I'm not a serial killer and you would believe me."

Quinn stared at Rachel for a minute. "Can I call my dad before I die?"

Rachel laughed. "I'm not going to kill you"

"Okay good! Thought this was my last moments. Now Rachel. Vent?"

Rachel sighed. "Everything is great. It's our senior year and I have everything planned out. I'm going to graduate and go to New York and be on Broadway."

"Broadway huh? That some big dream right there."

"I've always wanted to be on stage. Every since I was a little girl my fathers have thrown every possible Broadway musical at me. I love it."

Quinn stared at Rachel as she talked so passionately about what she wants. "Wait fathers?"

Rachel turned to Quinn. "Yeah I have two dads. That won't be a problem right? Because if it bothers you then we can't be friends."

"Chill Rachel. I think thats cool having two dads" Rachel smiled at her. "So New York huh?"

"Oh yes. I can't wait to go there. Being on stage is everything to me, the feeling is amazing."

"So let me guess, You have all these dreams planned out since you were little. But what wasn't part of the plan was him? Some how he mingled his way in to them."

"I wouldn't say mingled."

"Only word I could think about in this moment"

Rachel laughed. "Okay mingled."

"So what's the problem? Does he not support you of your dreams?"

"Oh no Finn does support me. It just lately we've been talking about our future and well."

"He has no idea what he wants to do this his future?"

"Yeah that. I feel like we aren't on the same page anymore. I love him and want the best for him, but what about me."

"That's rough Rachel. You do know that you don't need anybody to get on Broadway. You can do that on your own."

"I know that. It just I love him and plus that isn't even the major problem. Tonight I went with my best friend Kurt to this NYADA mixer and there were literally other people like me."

"Like you? I hardly doubt that." Quinn chuckled

"Why do you say that?" Rachel stared at her.

"Well, like a moment ago you talked about being on Broadway. Your voice and the twinkle in your eyes just proved to me that you have the passion and the ambition to go and do it."

"Yeah, but what if that isn't good enough? What is passion and ambition won't take me to Broadway?"

"Hey. Just because things aren't going the way you plan doesn't mean your not good enough. You going to make it"

"How do you even believe that if you haven't heard me sing? How do you believe that I'm good?"

"True to that. Look just because I haven't heard you sing doesn't mean I don't believe your good. I believe that anyone that has their eyes set on a dream is just as good as the next person with the same dream. Honestly Rachel you probably have what it takes to get the hell out of this town."

"God Kurt said the same thing and I just didn't believe him in that moment"

"Maybe its because you need to hear it from the right person for you to believe it"

Rachel chuckled "What makes you think your the right person?"

"You believed me didn't you?"

Rachel smiled and looked away, with that Quinn knew her answer. She couldn't help but smile.

"We should probably get going. I don't to keep you out to late. Your dads may thing you've been killed or something" Quinn stood and offered her hand to Rachel to stand up.

When Rachel took Quinn's hand she felt something, a feeling she couldn't describe in that moment it just felt right. Quinn lead them back the their car's.

"I had fun tonight. Thank you for cheering me up Quinn"

Quinn smiled "Your welcome. And if you need any saving from any town creep." Quinn took Rachel's phone out of her hands "Just give me a call."

Rachel smiled. "Okay. It was nice meeting you Quinn Fabray"

"It was nice meeting you Rachel Berry"

Rachel watched as Quinn walked to her car and drove away. The night turned out better then she expected. She wondered if she would see Quinn the next day.
