Always Protect Family

Chapter 3 - A changed Quinn

Disclaimer - don't own glee review guys :)

Quinn rushed out of bed and pulled on some sweats and a coat and grabbed her phone, glad that her parents were never home, always away on their fancy rich people trips. Quinn didn't understand herself why she was helping Berry after tourmenting her for years but unbeknown to Rachel, Quinn had regretted every minute but to her own personal disgust, thinking about it now she loved popularity more and being mean was part of the package right? It had to be done? After seeing Berry so broken, the guilt consumed her and realised that their was something deeper going on and Quinn wanted to make up for her previous mistakes concerning the girl...eww was Quinn Fabray head HBIC turning soft? The blond thought to herself.

Quinn most have broken speed limits and jumped many red lights as she got to Rachel's in under 5 minutes. She saw no cars in the drive that was odd were Berry's dad's,she walked up the path and knocked on the front door and after two minutes there was still no answer, she went to walk away or try and call Berry when out of habit tried the door, not many people locked their doors in the day, at night maybe, to Quinn's surprise the door opened. She walked into the house tentatively calling Rachel's name.

Rach, Rach where are you?Spoke Quinn in a hushed way

There was no reply, so Quinn went in search of the girl, she walked up the stairs and came across a door she could only assume was Rachel's by the gold stars on it. She opened it and looked around where her eyes came across the terrified girl huddled in the furthest corner sobbing and struggling for breath, Quinn could tell the girl was having a panic attack. The blonde approached the crying child cautiously not wanting to scare her more.

Rachel suddenly saw Quinn, she hadn't realised the cheer leader had entered the room, this caused her to sob uncontrollably, why did Quinn come, did she care, was this just another cruel practical joke. As if Quinn had heard her worries she spoke

'Rachel, are you okay, what's wrong, this isn't a joke i swear i just wanted to make sure you were alright..'

When the girl didn't answer, the older girl continued

'Rach, calm down breath, it's okay where are your dad's? Questioned the girl

This caused the girl to cry harder, Quinn continued to try to sooth the girl realising mentioning her dad's upset the young girl. Then all of a sudden Quinn noticed the glinting of the blade in the small girls hand and she gasped aloud and approached the girl more speedily than before and before Rachel realised what Quinn was doing the cheer leader managed to grasp the blade and cast it aside taking the young girl in her arms and to her relief realised that Rachel hadn't cut, well at least not yet, Quinn was now glad she came and that she got their so fast. The motion pushed the child over the edge and her emotions spilt over and if it was possible cried more, why did any one care, Rachel was dirty, she didn't deserve to be cared about especially from Quinn?

Shh, shh, it's going to be okay, i'm here you can trust me, just let it all out Rach and breath its okay, it will be okay, I'm here. Quinn continued to attempt to comfort the girl with hushed words, after around an hour with Quinn still holding her the small girl's breathing evened out, she had finally cried herself to sleep, the cheer leader didn't move not wanting to wake the broken girl so after a while fell asleep.

Rachel awoke to someones arms around her, was it attacker but then memories of last night came flooding back causing Rachel to cry again why had she been so stupid, she had been so foolish, the girls crying woke Quinn from her deep slumber and it took the girl a few moments to take in her surroundings and noticied the crying girl, she instantly began to sooth the girl.

Rach, rach...it's okay calm down, i'm here to help you not hurt you, shh soothed Quinn

Rachel stop crying quickly and realised that maybe she could trust the new Quinn, the one that came to save her at three in the morning, no one did that for Rachel Berry she must care right.

Shit, shit Rach look at the time we need to get to school i'm going to miss Cheerios practice, this put Rachel into full gear, she stood up and both girls rushed around getting ready, luckily Quinn kept a spare kit in the trunk of her car. Rachel dressed in her bathroom with long trousers and hoodie again not wanting to risk Quinn seeing her bruises, she was not ready for Quinn to find that out yet. The girls were ready in record time and out the door Rachel started to walk to school, to be stopped by Quinn.

Rach, where are you going? Questioned Quinn

To school? Answered Rachel confused

Rach, i'm not going to let you walk to school, i'm driving you and were walking into school together and no one better not slushie you and you're always going to be with me, Santana or Britt understand, i'm here to help you spoke Quinn forcefully

But why, you hate me? I'm the loser of the school... Rachel went to continue but was cut off

Rach, no i don't hate you, popularity was just more important but right now you need my help and i will help you..now no more questions were going to be late for school i've already missed practise

The girls quickly got into the car and to school. Quinn got out the car, but Rachel stayed.

Rach...why aren't you getting out? Questioned Quinn

Don't you want me to wait a little while so no one sees you with me?replied Rachel

No, Rach, i told you were going to walk into school together okay?

Okay, let's go or we will be late

Rachel exited the car and the two girls made their way to the front entrance and walked into the school, Quinn boldly, but Rachel just looked down not used to the staring. Everybody was looking at the girls walking down the hall and everyone parted for them, everyone was confused, a jock came around the corner armed with a slushie, his target of course Rachel but then saw that she was with...Quinn and quickly retreated. Britney bounded up to the girls and gave them both a hug. Quinn left Rachel in the safe hands of Britney and went to talk to a confused Santana.

Quinn, have you turned soft, your meant to be HBIC why are you walking with the hobbit? And why did you miss practice Coach is on the war path! Snarled Santana

Berry called me at three in the morning, sobbing saying she was scared i went over she was home alone, with the door unlocked in the corner of her room sobbing having a panic attack San, i couldn't leave her there's something going on... Quinn went to continue only to be cut off

Q, jeez calm down, looks like we best start calling dwarf Rachel

San, really, i don't want your reputation going down too. Gasped Quinn, had it been that easy to convince Santana.

Simple, we will go into full HBIC mode and declare Berry of limits, people don't intimidate me and if any one questions it well...i'll go lima heights on their ass

Fuck, who new Santana had a soft spot said the blonde playfully hitting the Latina

Shh Quinn, we don't want know people we secretly have a heart, i can unleash snixx whenever i need just remember that.

Looks like you better start now

What...

It was then that Santana noticed the two jocks coming towards Britney and Rachel, before the cheerleaders had a chance to reach them the girls were soaked in the sticky ice substance. It was then that surprisingly Quinn and not Santana went mad... San just went to comfort and clean the two girls up.

The two jocks were glued to the spot as the head cheer leader was clearly mad and giving her best HBIC stare, everyone in the corridor knew the jocks were dead not just from Quinn but from Coach as well because they just slushied a...cheer leader!
