Chapter 4.
It's been a week since Puck's summer party. It's also been a week since Rachel's talk with Quinn effected her. She told the girls the conversation and Santana told her that now wasn't the time for considering a friendship with Quinn. That whole talk was about putting the blame on others. Brittany and Annora agreed with Santana.
The apology didn't seem thoughtful. It seemed like she was making Rachel seem like a bad person for the clothes she was wearing. She also admitted that she was ashamed of her. That wouldn't make anybody feel better. To Rachel it hurt her alot worse then getting a slushie thrown in her face. Quinn at some point in their friendship, was ashamed to be seen in public with her. Preschool is where there friendship began and 9th grade is when it ended.
"Great class today Rach. Do you want to join us for ice cream?" One of the girls from her dance class asked her.
"No thanks I'm just going to work on some of steps I had trouble with. I'll see you girls tomorrow." The girls say okay and hug her then leave.
"Hey Rach now that there gone, let's talk about us." One of the girls named Kinsley Robinson, spoke dropping her dance bag.
"What do you want Kinsley? we went on two dates then I found of that your the girl Malorie cheated on me with. There's nothing to talk about."
Kinsley walked up to her and took Rachel's pony tail out and ran her fingers through her long hair.
"You look better with your hair down. It really brings out your beautiful brown eyes. " Rachel pushes her away.
"Don't touch me Kinsley. Unlike you and Malorie I don't plan on cheating on my girlfriend. Can you leave please?" Kinsley mutters fine.
'Let me know when your interested in something better then just exotic girls. Here's my number." She gives it her then leaves.
Rachel puts her hair back up in a messy pony tail and danced off her anger. Kinsley was Malorie's best friend who she hooked up with behind her back. She was also a damn flirt who doesn't know when to quit.
There was a knock on the door.
"Leave me alone Kinsley. When are you going to get the damn hint?" She yelled.
"Um who's Kinsley? Is she new to our dance class Rachel?" Rachel turned around seeing her gay best friend Jesse St. James giving a smirk. He's been in her dance class since forever. Brittany think he looks like Mr. Schue. Santana always made fun of his hair. Santana and Jesse always insult each other. She loved her friends.
She grins rushing over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. He lifts her up in the air making her giggle.
"I thought you were in California getting ready for college?" He put her down but he didn't let go of her.
"Not yet Rach. I still have time before I have to go. I was just visiting some of my friends there. Who is Kinsley?" Rachel kisses his cheek then pulls away.
"She's a new girl in our dance class. She was the girl I caught Malorie cheating with." He remebers getting a phone call from her. He picked her up and they had a movie night with ice cream and everything.
"Why is she bugging you if she's Malorie's pet these days? I hate that girl so much for hurting you."
"Trying to get in my pants of course. Trust me you aren't the only that hates her. Santana wanted to rip her head off when she found out. I'm not cheating on my girlfriend."
Jesse raised an eyebrow, giving her a keep talking look.
"Her name is Annora Santiago. She's in Brittany's hip hop class. Britt set up and we became offical not too long ago" Jesse grins.
"Oh we are so going out to lunch right now and talking about this. Go change so we can eat." Rachel giggles hugging him again then goes to change.
When Rachel was changed into a pair of jean shorts, a pink tank and pink flip flops. She walked outside where Jesse was waiting for her.
"That's so unlike you. Did the girls take you summer shopping?" Rachel nods taking his hand as they walked to his Black range rover.
"Did my mother let you keep it after your graduated?" She says bitterly. He chuckles at her tone of voice. He didn't really blame Rachel for acting the way she towards her mother. Shelby rather be a mom to Quinn's and Puck's baby instead of giving Rachel a chance.
"No my uncle bought me this for a graduation present. I gave the other range rover back to Shelby and now some new member of Vocal Adrenaline is driving it."
"Is she still teaching?"
"No she moved to New York to raise Beth there. Theres a new director. His name is Dustin Goolsby and he's alot more stricted then Shelby ever was. He'll even steal a member from another show choir." Rachel frowns.
"Do you think he'll try to steal from New Directions?" Jesse really had no idea.
"If he did. It would totally be you of course. You have talent that others in New Directions don't. You know a whole lot about music and how to sing properly. I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to win you over once the school year starts up again." She would never leave New Directions or McKinley. Her two best friends are there.
"Well you know I can't leave my fellow Glee club members. It wouldn't feel right to be in a show choir that has no feeling." He gave her a look.
"What? you know that your group didn't have feeling. Everything had to be perfect for your group." He just pouts.
"Don't even think about it. I speak the truth Jesse St. James. You guys never had any fun and it showed in your faces." He opens the door for her.
She thanks him then gets in putting her bag in the backseat. She puts her seat belt on.
"Rachel wait up." She glanced out the window, seeing Quinn standing there.
"What are you doing here? are you going to start stalking me now just to get me to forgive you? It's getting sad Quinn." She clears her throat, brushing off the insult.
"I'm not stalking you. Your dads told me that you were here when I drove by. I told them that I would pick you up if they couldn't." Jesse stared at Quinn.
"Don't worry about it sweetie. I'm taking her back to my house after we have lunch." Rachel stared at Jesse surprised at this information.
"You are?" He nods kissing her cheek.
"Yes were spending the whole day together. We'll swing by your house so you can pack an overnight bag then we'll go out to lunch." Quinn cleared her throat again.
"Rachel?" Rachel sighs.
"Just go home Quinn. I'm not ready to talk with you yet. Your clearly not listening to me. Just go." Quinn frowns.
"When are you going to be ready to talk? I hate waiting for that day to happen." Jesse stared at Quinn then back at his best friend.
"Is she bugging you?" Rachel wanted to say yes but she didn't want Jesse getting out the car.
"Don't worry about it Jesse. Can we just go?" He nods.
"Rachel please just pick a day. It's just talking. I'll pick you up." Jesse gave Rachel a look. Should I just drive off? She nodded.
He gave Quinn a nod then drove out of the parking lot. She sighs and wiped the tear the was starting to fall.
"Well that didn't work out how I planned." Quinn goes back to her car and drives around for a little bit to think.
With Jesse and Rachel.
"Was that her?" Rachel just nodded, staring out the window. Just enjoying the breeze. She loved summer.
"She's pretty. " She glared at him.
"Don't let her beauty fool you Jesse. She wasn't always like that. I need to go home and take a shower before we go out to lunch."
"Trust me I know. Eww." She gasped hitting his arm. She messed up his hair
"I'm kidding. Don't mess up my beautiful hair." Rachel giggled messing up his hair more.
"Stop it I'm driving here. You want us getting into a car crash?" She says no. He grabbed her hand, lacing his fingers with hers. She loved Jesse. He was her best friend for life and he also happens to be gay so it was perfect. He helped her with her feelings for girls. Of course Brittany helped too but Jesse knew for sure.
Quinn got out of her car, taking a deep breath and walked to the front door. Ringing the door the doorbell, she waited for somebody to answer the door.
The door opened a few minutes. The person stared at Quinn for a few minutes before speaking.
"What are you doing here?" Quinn sighs.
"Can I come in? We need to talk. I'm not getting through Santana or Rachel. Maybe I can get through to you Brittany." Brittany moves out of the way, letting her in.
She walks in looking around.
"Let's go to my room." Quinn follows her as they made there way upstairs to Brittany's room. The same room that she used to have sleepovers in.
"You changed the color of your room?" It used to be turquiose and green. Now it was light purple and white. It looked nice but totally not Brittany Pierce.
"Yes I did. I need a change from the blue and green. Santana and Rachie helped out." Quinn frowns hearing her former best friends names. Rachel was giving her a chance tomorrow.
"Is there something you want Quinn?" She frowns. There were pictures of Brittany with Rachel, pictures of Brittany with Santana. There was even pictures with her and Rachel's girlfriend. She didn't see any pictures of her at all in this room.
"There in a box in my closet." Quinn turned around. Staring at her in confusion.
"Pictures of you and I? There in a box in my closet if that's what you were wondering." She nods slowly.
"I liked it when you called me Lucy." Brittany stayed quiet. She missed that too but that was when they were best friends. Now she was just Quinn Fabray.
"Do you think I'm an evil person Brittany?"
"No I don't think your an evil person. People have bad moments. Yours just lasted until now. Did it have you eating with guilt?" When did she get so smart?
Brittany had a different way of thinking. She smart but her type of smartness had others thinking differently about her.
"You could say that. Who is Jesse?" Brittany's blue eyes widen. Jesse St. James was back in town? Why does he look like Mr. Shue? Brittany thought.
"He's Mr. Shue's long lost son. He's totally a unicorn like Rachie and Kurt. Myself is a bi-corn. Did you see him somewhere?" Quinn nodded.
"Yeah he picked Rachel up from her dance class. I was going to give a ride home when I saw her in his car." Brittany grins.
"He loves her so much. It's makes Santana jealous at times. I really don't mind it though. He's nice to me." She hated that she's missed so much in their lives.
"What's his full name?" Brittany sat down on her bed. She couldn't stand any longer.
"Jesse St. James. He was a Senior at Carmel. You remeber him going up against us at Regionals." She did? Which group was he in? Quinn thought.
"He was part of Vocal Adrenaline." She didn't even know Rachel had other friends besides Santana and Brittany.
"Did you come here to talk about my friend Jesse or did you come here to beg for my forgiveness and help you win your way back into Rachie's and San's heart?"
"The second one." Brittany pats a spot on her bed. Quinn smiles lightly and sat down on the bed.
"So start begging." Quinn smiles doing just that. They talked for awhile about everything. Brittany was going to take it slowly. She still mad at her for throwing the slushie but she knows how hard it is to be popular and staying on top. She might be a cheerio but she has friends that keep her grounded. Quinn needs those types of friends again.
"Are you best friends with Kurt and Mercedes these days?"
"Nobody can compare to you three. Kurt and Mercedes are just my really good friends." Brittany smiles.
"Good because you can't replace your best friend. Even if you are in a year long fight with them." Quinn frowns.
"Didn't you already do that with Annora?" Brittany shook her head.
"No Annora is one of my good friends. Rachel's her girlfriend and San gets along great with her. You will aways be our best friend."
"Too bad Santana and Rachel don't feel that way. I'm like Jewfro to them. It's pretty bad when I'm the same level as Jewfro in their minds."
"Can you blame them Quinn? You did something so cruel to both of them. You slept with Puck when Santana was dating him which you knew."
"Yeah so what? It's not like Santana is serious about who she's dating or hooking up with."
"And you wonder why she hates you so much. You act like your better then everybody else."
"I do not." She lied.
"Do you think I'm stupid? I saw the look on your face the moment she found out that you were the girl Puck knocked up. You gave her your bitch smirk."
"Britt-"
"You have no right to call me that anymore. I'm still mad at what you did to Rachel. Don't even get me started on what you called me." Quinn stared at her confused.
"I heard you in the locker room talking to Piper and Jade. You know when you called me stupid. Saying that I didn't know the meaning of no just like Santana. Do you really think I'm a slut? Shouldn't you be talking about yourself because I wasn't the one that ended up pregnant."
She didn't think anybody was in locker room besides her and the other girls.
"I don't sleep around Quinn and I'm not stupid. You of all people should know that."
"Brittany I'm so sorry. Calling you that was crossing the line." Brittany nods in agreement. It was crossing the line.
"Save it for somebody that cares. At the moment I really dont. I just need to know why your here so you can leave."
"Why are you acting like this, you always let people in and your always happy to see others. Why are you treating me like I'm nothing to you?"
"Because in the past year you have been nothing to me. You don't give me a reason to trust you anymore! Things are different now and everybody knows it."
"Then let's start fresh and get to know each other all over again. I miss you." Brittany missed her too. She never wanted to stop being friends with her. Quinn shouldn't have done what she did to her best friend.
"I can tell. Your doing all these things just to get our attention. It's making you look foolish." Quinn sighs.
"Sorry." Brittany rolls her eyes. Getting annoyed with Quinn already.
"Stop apologizing. You throw a friendship away for selfish reasons. Being popular meant so much to you, giving into your dad's and Carmyn's pressuring, trying to follow into Frannie's footsteps. Are you still daddy's little girl or has he cared more about Frannie?" She shook her head no, fighting her tears.
"Why not? I know why but do you know why?" She didn't speak. Her dad was longer part of her life these days. She was done putting up wth him.
"Can't answer that huh? Scared that I might tell everybody the truth about you? Hmm maybe I should once school starts up again."
"Why are you being so mean to me?"
"Because it's about time you suffer like Rachel suffered. You suffered by getting kicked out of your house for sleeping with Puck and ended up pregnant with Beth, losing a boyfriend that you never cared about and dealing the whispers and dirty looks was suffering enough,
She suffered losing a sister, a best friend, a soulmate who was her rock, everything that was your friendship was a lie to her. You don't even care."
Quinn got up grabbing her purse. She couldn't be here anymore.
"Run away once again. Did you even care about how we felt?" She shook her head no.
"At the time? No I didn't because I had to be popular. I needed everybody to fear me and know that I was the HBIC." She rolls her eyes.
"Even Rachel right? That's how you wanted everything to be. Having us little people follow all of your demands. How's it like on the top these days anyways, is it fun having people give to your power?"She was getting pissed.
"Stop it Brittany. I don't need this kind of treatment for you of all people. I expected this from Santana but not from you." Brittany gave her look.
"Why should I? You made others feel bad about themselves just to hide through a mask of your own self hate! You did everything in your power to get everybody at McKinley to see what a fake you really are. How lovely." She says sarcastically. Quinn glared at her.
"You have not right to call me that. I'm not a fake Brittany."
"Could have fooled me. Those people only see Quinn Fabray,HBIC, fearless leader, the girl that got knocked up, the girl that cheated on Finn Hudson. That's the person you've become. Your here begging for some type of forgiveness that you don't have the right to have."
"Why not? Why can't I have your forgiveness? Tell Brittany so I can get my life back on track, where you, Santana and Rachel are my best friends again."
"What do you mean why not? Quinn you can't keep pushing us and asking for forgiveness when you haven't forgiven yourself. Do you really expect San and Rach to forgive when you don't have the guts to own up to your actions. Yes Quinn I'm very smart."
"But I'm trying. Calling you stupid was a bitchy thing to do. I won't ever do it again." Brittany shook her head.
"No your not. Shouldn't you feel the same we've been feeling in the past year? You want me to point out your flaws that you hate?"
"Drop it already. No wonder your so ditzy. You don't know when to get serious." Brittany shook her head no.
"How would you feel if I told the whole school about the nickname everybody use to give you? Maybe I should tell them about the nose job you got. Bullying somebody is going to make us hate you even more. I'm not fucking stupid. The person acting stupid is you. Get out of my house."
"Please don't. I'll do anything."
"You'll do anything?" She nods.
"Get out of my house. Come back here when you finally forgive yourself and own up to your mistake. None of us are going to forgive you until then."
"It's lonely at the top. I need you girls." She stared into her hazel green eyes.
"Should have thought about that before throwing that slushie in her face. You have Kurt and Mercedes now." Brittany picks up her phone and started texting Santana.
Quinn took the hint and left the room with tears falling down her face. She ignored Brittany's parents, walking outside to her car.
End of Chapter 4. Hoped you liked it. Next Chapter Brittany, Santana and Rachel sit down and really talk about what to do about having Quinn back into their lives.
