Chapter 3: Reason 3-Quinn Fabray

I switch out Jesse's tape for Quinn's. If this had been 3 years ago then I would not have been at all surprised that Quinn was on these tapes. But now it is a little strange. I thought Quinn and Rachel were getting closer. Still I just slot the tape into the player and begin to listen.

Everyone thinks our rivalry started in high school but it didn't, did it Quinn? No, Quinn and I go back much further.

Wait, Quinn and Rachel knew each other before high school? I always assumed they met in Freshman year. In fact I remember Quinn introducing herself to Rachel that first day.

In fact I met Quinn my first day of Kindergarten. She was still Lucy then. She was very shy but I just went right over and introduced myself and from then on we were very close, almost like sisters. And it stayed like that right up until middle school.

Quinn and I went to the same middle school and I was basically the only one there who was friends with her. Do you remember that Quinn? Everyone else used to point and laugh and make fun of you because you were overweight but I didn't. Admittedly people made fun of me too because of the way I dressed but I didn't care. I even used to stand up for Quinn when people made fun of her. We were still as close as we were when we were 2 little 5 year olds.

So what happened between them then? It must have been something bad for Quinn and Rachel to pretend that they didn't even know each other before high school if they were that close in middle school.

It was the second year of middle school when it happened. Quinn started ballet and gymnastics (both of which I did with her) and cheerleading (which I didn't) began to lose weight. She still hung out with me then though. The big change came when she dyed her hair blonde and got her nose job. She came into school that day and soon had a crowd of cheerleaders around her. I waved to her but she ignored me. I was really confused because we usually walked to class together.

I met her after class and asked what was going on. She said "Rachel we can't be friends anymore. I'm popular now and you're well…not". I said "But Lucy we've been friends since kindergarten". She then said "It's Quinn now". She then threw a slushie in my face and stalked off with her new cheerleading friends. I meanwhile spent the rest of middle school miserable.

I'd love to say that doesn't seem like something Quinn would do but it does. She always looked out for herself more than she did for her friends. I still can't believe she did that to Rachel though. I guess that's why she pretended not to know her when they came to McKinley.

I was hoping you would go to a different high school Quinn like Carmel but oh no, you were there on my first day at McKinley. You were with Finn and he came over to introduce himself. You looked at me with what I called your Ice Queen girl. I was going to say hi Quinn but then you spoke. "Hi I'm Quinn, who are you" you said. I was going to say that we already knew each other but I decided against it and instead said "I'm Rachel".

That's why Quinn and Rachel seemed so icy towards each other the first day of high school. I can't believe I didn't realise that they'd already met.

I figured I would just be able to avoid you for the entirety of high school and for freshman year it worked pretty well. You hung out with your cheerleading friends and I hung out with Kurt. Then sophomore year came and I joined Glee. Unfortunately so did you. And that started the name calling. RuPaul, Man Hands, Stubble and hundreds more. Plus countless slushies. It made me feel ugly and worthless Quinn but did you care? No.

I always tried to stop Quinn from picking on you Rach but she wouldn't listen. She said you deserved it- that the popular had to to show the unpopulars who was in charge. I didn't think that was true.

When you became pregnant, we started to get along better again. I knew it was only because you were no longer popular but I didn't care. It was nice to be your friend again Quinn, it reminded me of the good times we once shared together. Then you gave Beth to my mother. Out of all the people Quinn. There are loads of potential adoptive parents out there and you just had to choose the one that would hurt me the most- my own mother.

I don't think Quinn meant to hurt you by giving Beth to Shelby, Rach.

It was actually better with us after Beth was born. You didn't call me names as much, in fact it was pretty much just like freshman year. You ignored me, I ignored you. It worked well. But then Finn and I broke up and you went after him again. You knew it would hurt me but you didn't care. You wanted him and back then, what Quinn Fabray wanted she got. So I had to go through the heart wrenching pain of seeing my enemy going out with the guy that I loved. And you just loved to flaunt it to me. Everywhere you went, Finn was attached to your arm. You made damn sure that I knew that Finn was yours, even if he really wanted to be with me.

I hated that Rach. Honestly I did. Quinn was like a leech, attached to me wherever I went. I was weak and upset from our break up when I went back to her and I'm sorry about that. I know now that I should have been with you.

Then came Prom. You blamed me for your loss as Prom Queen because you thought that people could see that Finn would rather be with me than with you.

Well it was kind of obvious. I stared at you every chance I got. When I kissed Quinn, I saw you.

So you slapped me. And scratched me. And just when I thought you'd had enough you punched me in the stomach. I know when you tell the story you say you apologised and I accepted it but that's not really happened. That wasn't the worst thing to happen that night though so I won't chew you out about it.

She never mentioned the other stuff. Actually I'm pretty sure the version of the story I heard was the Quinn version.

Then Nationals came along. You were bitter because Finn broke up with you and you decided to take it out on me. You put pink hair dye in my shower and my hair came out bright pink. I had to buy a brown wig for nationals but naturally you wanted everyone at school to see what you had done to my hair and every one made fun of me. I was known as "Candyfloss girl" for a month until the 28 washes were up and my hair returned to its normal colour.

I thought that Rach looked kinda cute with pink hair but I have to say I was furious with Quinn and I was relieved when her hair went back to normal.

Senior Year we actually became friends. Friends like we were that first year of middle school. We gave each other advice and you were as good of a friend as Kurt was. You were even the first person I told about Finn's marriage proposal. But it all went downhill after there.

I remember this. Our wedding day. Man were we fuming at Quinn that day. If we'd actually got married that day, who knows? You could have been here now Rach.

It was supposed to be the happiest day of my life and I allowed you to come because you were one of my best friends. But you couldn't just let me be happy. Oh no. It was bad enough that my dads didn't support my wedding but the fact that you didn't crushed me. Still you came but I wish you hadn't. Because when the minister asked if anyone objected, guess who stood up? That's right, Quinn. It was you. He refused to carry on and I was unable to marry the love of my life.

I no longer talk to Quinn just because of that one incident. She ruined my wedding day and if she hadn't then I wouldn't have let Rachel go to New York without me and she would still be here.

I confronted you outside the courthouse after the wedding. You said you didn't want me making the biggest mistake of my life. I was furious at you. You offered me a lift home and Finn told me to go as he thought you and I needed to talk things through. I hadn't noticed it before but you were kind of drunk. I said I should drive but you said no. That this was your way of apologising to me. We were arguing about it when the truck hit the car.

I was even more angry at Quinn after that. Admittedly she was in a chair so that made it difficult to be too mad but first she ruins my wedding and then almost kills my fiancé. Not cool.

You ended up in a wheelchair. Me, I was unconscious for 3 days and had a broken leg. I felt really bad about it. But you? You didn't. Even though you caused the accident. I didn't talk to you after that. It went back to how it was freshman year. I ignored you, you ignored me.

That was what came to be known as the "Frosty Period". Quinn and Rachel barely spoke to each other and when they did it was to trade insults.

Then once again you go after my boyfriend and get him to campaign with you. I know it was nothing really but it still hurt. You could have campaigned with any one of the jocks at school, you didn't have to choose Finn. But then you falsified the votes for prom queen so I could win with Finn. Thank you for that, I really needed it. I know I have put you down a lot on this tape Quinn but that was one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me.

I have to admit what Quinn did for Rach that day was one of the nicest things anyone ever did for her at high school.

So we went off to college good friends. But after the one time you came to stop me from making the mistake of doing a topless scene- thank you for that by the way.

Yeah I called Quinn and thanked her for that too Rach. Even though we were broken up I didn't want your boobs displayed for everyone to see on a film. I was still in love with you after all.

But then you stopped visiting and calling after that. I called you to see what had happened. You said "I'm really busy with school and my new friends. I don't have time for you Rach". I was busy too but I was willing to make time to come and see you. I said as much. "Yeah but no offence Rach, I want to spend time with my new friends. We're in college now. We need to leave high school behind" she said. "And that includes your high school friends does it?" I asked. "Yeah. It does. I'm in a new phase in my life. I don't need to be dragged back into the past" you said. And that was it. You hung up and I never heard from you again. Even at Mr Shue's wedding we didn't speak.

So that's what happened between them. I wondered why Rach refused to talk to her at the wedding.

So that's why you're on here Quinn. You gave up on our friendship so many times, for popularity, for Finn and for your new college friends. One nice gesture at prom doesn't erase years of pain. You didn't have to give up on us just because we went off to college. So with your other friends, don't give up on them. You'd be surprised how good friendships can be if you let them last.

The next tape is for a close friend. Santana Lopez this one's yours.

[]

Santana? But she and Rachel got really close this year. They even lived together. She must have done something though. I guess we all did something. Even me. The guy she was in love with.

A/N: I know that was a lot longer than the last two but I figured Quinn and Rachel have had such a rocky relationship that she would have more to say. Next chapter is Santana's.

Review?
