Quinn's POV

"Come on Quinn, it's been weeks since the beginning of school. You're comfortable now aren't you?", Brittany was pouting at this point. She has been trying to make Quinn join glee club since before school began.

"Brittany, I would love to. But everyone will stare at me like they do in the hallways and they'll whisper about who I was before the accident and I can't take it how they know me but I don't."

"But Santana loved glee... I don't have any close friends in there anymore. Please Quinnie?"

Quinn understood what it felt like to be left out and that was the last thing she wanted Brittany to feel like. She was the most genuine person the short blonde knew.

"Okay, okay. But if things get weird I'm leaving.. Got it?"

Brittany embraced her in a tight hug and squealed, "Yay! Lord Tubbington said you'd give in eventually."

Quinn smiled and knew she was mainly doing this for Brittany. She also knew it killed Santana that she was a little lonely in school. Brittany had to stay back a year with Quinn because she didn't have enough credits to graduate. They both sat in Brittany's room watching a movie in silence after that.

Quinn's curiosity started to get the best of her after a few minutes and had to ask, "So... What do you guys.. DO in Glee club?"

Brittany's smile spread wide across her face, "Uhm... We dance and sing. We come up with songs to sing and dance to at competitions and we just have a lot of fun. But Rachel mostly tries to control everything. She's sorta like the bothersome little sister of the group"

Quinn raised her eyebrow, "Rachel? The one that gets bullied all the time?"

Brittany started to look uncomfortable at the question, "Yeah... Do you mind if we not talk about that.."

"Why? I bumped into her on the first day of school by accident and it felt almost familiar."

It got quiet for a longer than it should have, "Quinn.. Don't freak out but she was there in the hospital the day you got into the accident."

Quinn looked around confused. She thought only Santana, Brittany, Finn and her parents were there.

"Why didn't she stay? If she was a close friend why did she let me forget about her? Why wouldn't she say anything when I ran into her?"

Brittany pulled her lower lip in between her teeth and started biting on it nervously, "You've been wondering who you were before Quinn but you don't want any help from us to figure it out. She's part of your past but she was never your close friend."

Quinn started getting infuriated for the first time since the accident. She threw her hands up in frustration, "What the hell does that mean?"

At that moment she got a flash of a foggy memory playing in her mind,

She looked up and saw Rachel Berry picking up her books and scattered sheet music. Quinn got up from the floor and made sure she was towering over Rachel while giving her the best menacing eyes she could, "Watch where you're going RuPaul."

Quinn had a few tears rolling down her face for a few minutes, "RuPaul?"

The tiny blonde was curled up in a ball on Brittany's lap, "That was your nickname for her Q..."

The short blonde quickly wiped her tears away and got up, "I think I should go. I'll see you at school tomorrow."

Quinn quickly left the room and drove back to her house. Once she turned off her car she dialed Santana's number and called it.

The Latina answered after a few rings,

"Hey what's up Q?"

"I think I upset Brittany a little bit.. I just left her house."

Santana let out a sigh, "What happened?"

"Things from my past came up when we were talking about me joining glee club.."

"You're joining glee club finally? Thank god. I finally don't have to worry about Brittany being alone. She won't quit that for anything. Don't worry about Brittany, she's probably already over it. I'll go to her house after work."

Quinn tried to hurry and get off the phone, "Okay, thanks. Bye"

"Don't think you're getting away with not telling me about what came up. I'll talk to you later, bye."

She hung up and quickly went inside her house and paced back and forth in her room. She never changed her room since she came back from the hospital. She wanted to remember and the best way she knew how was to keep all these lost memories near her. Whenever she would look at the pictures she always felt this little pang of disgust. Even if she remembered who she was, she wouldn't feel happy about it. Quinn never believed she'd be this perfect girl in the pictures. All she can recall is Lucy Caboosy. The overweight loser in middle school that never got a fairy tail ending.

She finally laid down and started to drift off into sleep.

She dreamt of that smile again for the first time in a long time. She desperately wanted to hang on to that memory when she woke up for once. But like usual, she quickly forgot about it and became a foggy memory like a rest and wondered who kept coming in her dreams to give her comfort.

She quickly got ready for school and tried her best to occupy Brittany for the day so she wouldn't be alone.


Rachel's POV

Rachel Berry woke up in a panic.

Another nightmare.

Every night for the past few weeks she would dream about Quinn dying in the accident or Quinn being back to her old self bullying the brunette. She wiped off the sweat from her brow and tried to slow down her breathing.

It was just a dream. It was just a dream. It was just a dream.

Once she convinced herself that she was safe she jumped into the shower. Thinking it was a normal day, she put on her normal clothes and did everything she would like usual. She hadn't once ran into Quinn Fabray since the first day of school and she made sure of it. For some reason Quinn took the same route to her classes like she did the year before so it was easy to avoid her in the hallways.

She got through the day pretty easy. She didn't get slushied and no one tried bothering her. When it was finally time for glee club she was the first one there waiting for everyone else to arrive, including the teacher. People slowly started showing up little at a time. She missed her old glee club but these people were just as good as her old friends. Tina, Brittany, and a few others were still going to the school so it still had a few of her original members. Brittany was one of the last people that walked in the room with someone hiding a bit behind her. She didn't have to take a second look to know who it was.

Rachel was in a complete panic. Quinn was definitely joining glee club. It was only a matter of time before that happened.

shit shit shit shit shit.

Thankfully Mr. Shue came in just in time so the blonde wouldn't have time to take notice that Rachel was there.

"Okay guys, lets try and come up with some ideas for sectionals."

"Mr. Shue if I may I'd like to put out there that we should do something classic and maybe sing a bit of Judy Garland or someone along those lines."

Rachel heard in a very low whisper

"Brit, whose Judy Garland?"

Without thinking Rachel turned and said, "You know, actress, singer and vaudevillian. I feel sad for you if you don't know who Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz is. I mean, come on."

Rachel quickly snapped her mouth shut once she knew she was addressing to Quinn Fabray. The blonde just sat there with a small smile on her face with her eyes looking like they were searching for something.

"Mr. Shue can I be excused, I suddenly don't feel so well.."

"Sure Rachel"

She then bolted out of the room and tried her best not to suffocate from embarrassment.


Quinn's POV

Quinn came in and sat with Brittany in the choir room. So far, so good. Mr. Shue came in and started asking about sectionals before a familiar voice started cutting in.

"Mr. Shue if I may I'd like to put out there that we should do something classic and maybe sing a bit of Judy Garland or someone along those lines."

Quinn tried her best to keep up and tried asking Brittany, "Brit, whose Judy Garland?"

At that point she saw the brunette whip her hair around and go on a full rant, "You know, actress, singer and vaudevillian. I feel sad for you if you don't know who Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz is. I mean, come on."

Before the brunette looked shocked, she had a smile on her face that Quinn automatically noticed. She found the one that helped her sleep. When she noticed that Rachel stopped talking she tried to say something but all she could do was try her best not to smile like an idiot. Why does she dream about this girl? If they weren't friends, why was her smile etched in her brain? The brunette left the room in a hurry and Quinn soon followed after her.

"Rachel?"

The small girl stopped dead in her tracks and turned around with a look of panic in her eyes, "I'm so sorry for snapping like that. I didn't know it was you."

Quinn looked at her with worry in her eyes, "I'm not upset if that's what you think.."

"Then why did you come follow me?"

The blonde froze up for a few seconds and a pit started forming in her stomach, "I... really don't know.. I feel like I've missed you. Were we friends at all last year? Because Brittany said you were there at the hospital-"

"You're joking right?"

"What? No."

"Santana told you everything and you realized how fun it used to be to be a bitch and now you're back to how you used to be. That's why you were in glee club."

Quinn started becoming flustered. No one has talked to her like this since she's gotten out of the hospital, "No, Rachel just listen to me."

Quinn reached out for Rachel's arm and they both got a surge of energy from the touch. They looked at each other for a few moments then Rachel collected herself and smoothed out her skirt.

"Have a nice day Quinn. I'm glad you're back to normal."

Rachel then walked away from a confused and distraught Quinn.

Quinn stood there with her arm still reached out with tears welling up in her eyes.

"Who was I?"
