Chapter 10:
Quinn drove Santana to school the next day, the blonde didn't want the Latina to be by herself for even a second so once they got to school she accompanied Santana to her locker. While on the way to the girl's locker they were given stares by most of the school, and also a lot of whispers. Luckily for Quinn, Santana had stuffed her feelings inside and had her HBIC face on, so whoever looked their way both Quinn and Santana gave them a look that would kill. Brittany was at the Latina's locker with a smile on her face, last night Quinn asked Santana if she wanted Brittany to come around, but the girl made it clear that she didn't want Brittany to know yet, because if she saw the way that Santana looked last night it would have hurt her too much. So Brittany was oblivious to what happened to Santana last night, until both of the girls got closer to the tall blonde and then with one look into Santana's eyes Brittany knew straight away that something was wrong.
Brittany's first reaction was that Santana regretted what she did yesterday but as she continued to look into the Latina's eyes she knew it was something worse. "San, what's wrong?" Brittany asked nervously once the girls got to the Latina's locker.
Quinn knew it was time for her to depart so she gave Santana a reassuring look and then left to head to her locker. Once Quinn walked away from her two best friends she started to think about what she was going to do today for Rachel, she knew what song she was going to sing but she didn't really know what she was going to say to the small brunette. She definitely didn't want to scare her. Since the time the two girls started to become friends Quinn really didn't give the diva any indications that she had feelings for her, yes she flirted a little bit but that was it, and Quinn was about 99% sure that the diva flirted back. So Quinn was going to do this, she was Quinn Fabray after all and even if the brunette turned her down she would at least know that Rachel didn't feel that way about her, she didn't want to be one of those people that miss their opportunity by holding back their feelings and in three years time find out that Rachel did have feelings for her back then. And Quinn had already waited too long.
The day was a bit slow for the blonde, she couldn't really concentrate in class, and she hadn't seen the diva all day which was a surprise for Quinn. While the blonde was in her class before lunch she thought to text Rachel.
Q: Hey Rachel, meet me in the choir room for lunch? There's something I want to talk to you about.
About a minute later Quinn felt her phone vibrate in her pocket.
R: Okay Quinn.
Quinn read the text and was shocked at how blunt the brunette was to her, but Quinn being Quinn shook it off and tried to focus on the last 20 minutes of class.
Once Quinn got to the choir room she saw that Rachel was already there looking through some sheet music, she walked over and sat down next to the diva.
"Hey," was all that Quinn said.
Rachel looked up to acknowledge that the blonde was there, she gave a small smile, "Hello Quinn."
Quinn sensed that something was up with the brunette so she thought to ask, "Are you okay Rach, you don't seem like yourself... You're reply to my text was a bit blunt."
"Actually Quinn, I'm not feeling okay today."
"What is it, can I help?"
"Actually yes, I want to know why you haven't been talking to me or hanging out with me much this week, I am a bit surprised... Have I done something? Or don't you want to continue this friendship... Is that why you asked me to come to the choir room today?" Rachel said looking down. This shocked Quinn, but as she came to think about it they haven't really spent much time together that week, the blonde started to feel horrible. Quinn had been too focused on the song she wanted to sing to Rachel, and the situation that happened with Santana.
"Crap... I'm so sorry Rachel. I honestly didn't mean to do that... You haven't done anything; I just got caught up this week with the song I'm going to sing for the assignment and the stuff that has happened with Santana. I still want us to be friends... Actually, I want something else."
Quinn stopped talking to find out what Rachel's reaction is so far, all she saw in Rachel's eyes was curiosity. The ex-head cheerleader got up from her seat and stood in front of Rachel, the brunette looked up at Quinn wondering what she was doing, "Quinn, what are you doing?"
The blonde looked down at Rachel and started to talk, "Ummm you know how when we had our first sleep over and you asked me if I liked anyone... And I... Ummm... I didn't want to answer you?"
Rachel nodded her head remembering the conversation they had and then Quinn continued, "Well... I want to tell you who that person is now."
Rachel looked down, she felt her chest tighten, she honestly didn't want Quinn to tell her, she was hoping that Quinn would have gotten over that person, that's why she hadn't brought it up with the blonde. Why am I thinking this, Rachel thought to herself.
"Rach, are you okay?" Quinn knelt down to Rachel's eye level, the brunette zoned out for a couple of seconds.
"Arhh… Yes Quinn, sorry. Continue on what you were going to say," Rachel said looking back up at Quinn. Quinn stood up and continued talking.
"Well it's coming up to Prom and also this week's assignment is kind of relevant and helping me to do this, I spoke to Mr. Schue and asked if I could sing the song I wanted to sing to only you."
Rachel chose to cut in; curiosity took the better of her, "Why is that, Quinn?"
"Ummmm because I want to tell you and show you the way that I feel about you and I guess I wanted to show you by singing you a song."
Rachel's eyes shot up to her hairline by hearing what Quinn just said, she didn't know what to say, but luckily the blonde understood and chose to speak again, "Rachel, you are the person that I liked back when you asked me, and you are still the person I like... And I thought it was time to tell you."
The brunette's heart started to thump a mile a minute, "Me," was all she could say because she had no more air left in her lungs.
Quinn gave a shy but massive smile, and nodded, "Yes Rachel, it is you, and I guess I want to sing you a song to show you how I feel. Now this song isn't perfect... It's not exactly the ideal song that I wanted to sing to you but it was the best song on the Rumours album that I thought at least showed a little bit on how I feel and how you make me feel."
Rachel couldn't believe the way she was feeling right now, Quinn Fabray liked her... Quinn Fabray liked Rachel Berry... She plastered on a megawatt smile and waited for Quinn to sing to her.
The blonde nodded over to Brad to start playing the piano, he nodded in understanding and thought to himself, what is with these girls expressing how they feel for each other in secret, he gave a small smile at his own thoughts and started playing.
Quinn looked straight into Rachel's eyes and started to sing,
Sweet, wonderful you
You make me happy with the things you do
Oh, can it be so?
This feeling follows me wherever I go
I never did believe in miracles
But I've a feeling it's time to try
I never did believe in the ways of magic
But I'm beginning to wonder why
I never did believe in miracles
But I've a feeling it's time to try
I never did believe in the ways of magic
But I'm beginning to wonder why
Don't, don't break the spell
It would be different and you know it will
You, you make loving fun
And I don't have to tell you, but you're the only one
You, you make loving fun (It's all I wanna do)
You, you make loving fun (It's all I wanna do)
You, you make loving fun (It's all I wanna do)
You, you make loving fun (It's all I wanna do)
Throughout the whole song Quinn never took her eyes off of Rachel, she finished the song with wiping a couple of tears away from her eyes and looked at the brunette to get a response.
Rachel stood up and walked over to Quinn and gave her a massive hug, she pulled back and looked back into Quinn's eyes, the brunette wiped away a couple of tears herself, "Quinn, that was perfect... I don't know what to say."
Quinn nodded and smiled, "You don't have to say anything right now Rach, take your time, but at least know the way I feel about you, and also consider going to Prom with me... As friends of course, I don't want to push you."
Rachel cut Quinn off with another hug, "Thank you Quinn, yes I do need some time to process this... But I would be honored to go to Prom with you as friends," the brunette said with another megawatt smile.
The ex-head cheerleader was definitely relieved on the outcome. Rachel didn't get scared and didn't run away. She hugged the blonde and told her that she would go to Prom with her...as friends...that didn't bother her; she knew this would be a process, and Quinn Fabray was willing to stick around and do it.
Song: You Make Loving Fun – Fleetwood Mac
Now, I hope you liked it, I know it's a short chapter, and I'm sorry, I didn't want to write anything else because I thought it was a good ending of the chapter. I went through the whole Fleetwood Mac Rumours Album to see if there was any song relevant for Quinn and Rachel, of course I didn't want to do 'Songbird' because hello Santana was awesome at it, so this song 'You Make Loving Fun' was the closest I could find.
I also didn't want Rachel to just fall into Quinn's arms and they would be a couple straight away, I kind of am trying to make this a little realistic, I don't want to be a fic that they get together straight away and live happily ever after. I hope you're not mad at my choice for doing that.
Also Sam's family isn't broke in my fic, I thought to add it in but then I thought there would be too much drama too early for Faberry so I didn't want that to happen.
I probably will not be uploading a new chapter on Monday as I'm uploading one now, I just wanted to give you all a nice little Christmas present because this chapter was filled with Faberry.
Merry Christmas to everyone!
