It was already night but the time that Rachel decided to talk with the one person she hoped that could help her figure out what she was feeling. Someone who wasn't there for her but that she now needed, her mother. Shelby.
After everyone had eaten and started playing some game she quietly came to Shelby's side and whispered. "Can I talk to you in private?" Shelby was a little surprised but she wouldn't miss this chance so she nodded. Beth was with Quinn anyway.
They came outside and walked a little away from the house coming to stand beside one of the cars. "What do you want to talk with me?" Shelby asked and Rachel sighed before leaning against the car and staring at the woman in front of her.
"I need your help." Rachel said and Shelby was a little surprised but quickly figured out what would Rachel want her help with. After all, it was obvious to her what was going on and she knew she hadn't been wrong.
"Let me guess. It's about you and Quinn, am I right?" Rachel was shocked and it showed making Shelby give a light chuckle. "Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me." Shelby said and Rachel finally regained her consciousness. "How did you know?"
"I have two eyes who work just fine Rachel. I saw the two of you together and when I asked Quinn, she confirmed that she was in love with you." Shelby said and Rachel was still shocked. "If it is that obvious why didn't anyone else notice it?" Rachel asked cautious.
"Because I don't think anyone beside Finn would really care if you two were or weren't in love. And as for Finn, I believe the idea of you having feelings for a girl, let alone Quinn would be insane to say the least." Shelby explained and Rachel sighed and closed her eyes.
"I know. It would have been insane for me as well but after we kissed, it seems like I can't think of anything else. From the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep and now even in my dreams, she is always there."
"And there are times when I had to control myself to not jump on her and kiss her although today, I couldn't control it." Rachel said and Shelby smiled. "You jumped on her and kissed her?" Shelby asked and Rachel smiled. "No, I didn't jump but I did kiss her and it felt so good. It felt so right that I don't know what I'm feeling anymore." Rachel said.
"Tell me something. What do you feel about Finn?" Shelby asked and Rachel thought for a while before answering. "I have always loved him. He was all that I wanted. When I had him, I remember being so happy."
"What we went through together means a lot to me and being his fiancée was something I had only dreamed about it. But now I am. I was happy, or at least I thought I was until the world ended, he changed and Quinn told me the truth." Rachel said finishing.
"Okay, now tell me what do you feel about Quinn?" Shelby asked and immediately a smile made his way to her face with just hearing the blonde's name. Apparently Rachel didn't notice but Shelby certainly did.
"For a long, long time all I felt for her was anger and hate, even a little bit of fear. She didn't exactly make my life easy and she was with Finn and I wanted to be with him so she was automatically my enemy but after her pregnancy, I kind of saw another side of her, a more human one and it changed a little the way I Looked at her."
"Then I had Finn and was always worried she would take him away from me and we were back at being enemies but that changed as well and we evolved into some kind of friendship. Until the world ended and suddenly she tells me she is in love with me leaving me confused as hell about what to do." Rachel finished her rambling as Shelby patiently listened to it.
"I don't know much about love, my love life had been a disaster but what I do know is that you need to try to focus on what your heart wants. Once you listen to it, you will make the right choice."
"I don't know much about Finn and I don't want to judge him from what I have seen because I think he might be better than what he is showing now but I do know Quinn, Rachel. She loves you very much. You can see in the way she looks at you, I wish that someone would look at me like that." Shelby said and smiled.
"I don't know what to think. I can't even think about what is happening with me and Quinn. I know I love Finn but what I feel for Quinn is the problem because I don't know what it is. And I don't know if I want to find out, at least not right now. Finn is too unstable and something like this could be what makes him go off and no one needs that."
"I can't do anything while I'm still doubting it myself. Don't you think that if I was to face the consequences of it shouldn't I at least be 100% sure about it?" Rachel asked and Shelby nodded. Rachel was right. Finn wouldn't take this slightly so if she was going to face him, at least she should have any doubts about it.
"Besides Quinn is super busy with planning the trip to town and I have to try to keep Finn at bay to not jeopardize anything, we both have more important things to do and that's what we should been focusing on that." Rachel said and Shelby nodded again. But despite everything, she was sure this was an excuse but if her daughter didn't want to see what was right in front of her, she wouldn't be the one to push her.
Quinn was at the office, she has spent most of her time there. This trip wouldn't be an easy mission and she was terrified that it would go wrong and someone would die and it would be her fault. These people trusted her and she swore not to fail them which is why things needs to be perfect. They needed to be.
