Once dinner was over Rachel and Quinn headed back upstairs, putting on a DVD and cuddling up on the bed. Rachel could tell all through the movie that there was something up with Quinn. She was tense and thinking way to loud.
Just as the credits began to roll on the screen Quinn leant her head against Rachel's hair "I was raped"
Rachel froze, trying to figure out if she'd hear Quinn correctly "what?"
"Don't make me say it again"
Rachel opened and closed her mouth before looking up at Quinn "When? By who?"
"Uh.." Quinn breathed, about to reach up to wipe away the tear that had rolled down her cheek but Rachel bet her to it, using her knuckle to brush it off of her cheek "When I was eleven. It went on for about nine months and by my dads friend"
Rachel whimpered slightly, not used to seeing any kind of venerability from Quinn.
"As crazy and screwed up as this sounds he made me feel special. He knew that me parents were never around. He knew I didn't have anyone and he used it against me. To stop me from telling and to make me think that I was ok" Quinn ranted "That's why I dated total tools. Because I know I'll never feel anything for them"
"Why would you let them him you?"
Quinn shrugged "It's what I'm used to isn't it. It's how I assumed relationships were supposed to be"
"No. Relationships are supposed to be amazing. Difficult but amazing. And that person you're dating is supposed to make you feel like you're the most amazing, most beautiful person they have in their life. Or at least that how I feel about us. You're the most beautiful person I've seen. Everything about you is amazing, I don't think I would be living without you. I'd be alive but not living"
"You aren't creeped out?"
Rachel turned onto her stomach, looking up at Quinn "I'm gonna say to you what a wise person said to me. Just because you have a past doesn't change my feelings towards you"
Quinn laughed slightly, sliding down the bed so that she was laying nose to nose with Rachel.
Rachel's eyes squinted slightly, not used to having someone so close for more than a couple of seconds.
Quinn laughed again, leaning forward and pressed her lips against Rachel's.
For the first time Rachel didn't think twice about kissing back, placing her hands on Quinn's cheeks.
"I love you" Quinn whispered, pushing lightly on Rachel's shoulders until Rachel was flat on her back with Quinn hovering over her.
"I love you too" Rachel breathed, closing her eyes when Quinn began kissing down her neck and shoulder.
Rachel knew where this was going. She'd seen enough movies to know and it wasn't that she didn't wanna do it, she was more than ready to do it with Quinn, but this just felt wrong. Like Quinn was mainly doing this to help herself feel better about what she'd just told Rachel.
The brunette gasped a little louder than she'd intended when Quinn's hand slipped under her shirt and scratched her nails down her abs.
"Quinn"
"Hum?" Quinn hummed, biting lightly on Rachel's neck.
"No, Quinn. Stop"
Quinn stopped, pulling back to look at Rachel "You're not ready?"
"No, I am, really. I just think that you're doing this to make yourself feel better and, I might be being selfish, but this is my first time and I want it to be special"
"You're so not being selfish" Quinn smiled, lightly grazing her nose of Rachel's before kissing the tip of her nose "I'm sorry. I guess I'm just used to people just wanting sex from me"
Rachel smiled, shrugged bashfully "I actually just, kinda, want a cuddle"
"Well you can have a cuddle"
Rachel smiled, shuffling into Quinn's arms and rested her head against the blondes shoulder "Thank you"
"You might wanna invest in a scarf too"
"Why? It's just starting to get warm out"
"Nothing to do with the weather. I might have bitten you a little to hard. It's probably gonna bruise"
"Great. Another reason for my sister to grill me tomorrow"
"It'll be fine" Quinn whispered against Rachel's hair.
"Rachel, you little shit!" Ellie snapped striding down the hallway to her younger sisters locker.
Rachel looked from Quinn to her sister "Ellie, always the charmer"
"You are in so much trouble!"
"You told dad!"
"No, in trouble with me"
"Oh" Rachel said because that's all she could think of, she wasn't used to her sister being so protective.
"Oh?"
"Oh" Rachel mumbled, raising her eyebrows as a of apology.
Ellie laughed, shaking her head at her sister "next time call sooner ok? I was worried sick"
"I will" Rachel agreed.
Ellie nodded walking past her sister and heading down the hallway, turning to look at Quinn as she walked slowly backwards "Try and keep your mouth to yourself or do it in a place a little like noticeable" Ellie pointed at Rachel's neck and then pointed at Quinn.
"Sure thing" Quinn said and Ellie turned, heading towards her class.
"She seemed fine with us"
"She's crazy" Rachel mumbled, taking out her history and physics book before closing her locker.
"You're really cute when you're mad" Quinn grinned, leaning against the locker next to Rachel.
Rachel chuckled, leaning back against her locker and looking at Quinn "When will your lettier be in from Yale?"
"Any day now. I'm freaking out"
"Well I have no doubt that they'll accept you. They'd be crazy not to"
"I applied to two other schools. NYU and Ohio State"
"My sister applied for NYU"
Quinn opened her mouth to say something just as the bell rung "Math. But I'll see you at lunch"
Rachel smiled, her cheeks turning a tint of red when Quinn pecked her on the lips and lefts. She knew everyone was staring at her, probably wondering how the hell a loser like her could get a girl like Quinn and she agreed, she had no idea how it happened either.
She pulled herself together, quickly heading to her history class.
The smile on Pucks face was amazing when he saw Rachel and Quinn cuddled up on the oppbleachers at lunch. The rest of the group was smiled to, there was also a few playful remarks for Santana and even Kitty, but Pucks smile was the biggest.
"So I feel like I should date Sam just to feel apart of this group now"
"You would totally like to bang Sam anyway" Santana said, grinning at Puck who shrugged
"Dudes got some rock hard abs"
"He really has though" Marley agreed gaining some raised eyebrows from Kitty "Obviously not as nice as yours though"
"Damn straight"
"I think Britt has the best abs though" Santana said, grinning at her girlfriend.
"How can we judge best abs when we've never seen Rachel's"
"Rachel has amazing abs" Quinn mumbled against Rachel's hair making everyone turn and look at them
"How would you know?"
"See! I told you they had sex. You don't just end up with a love bite for nothing"
"We didn't have sex" Rachel said, shaking her head.
"Then how does Quinn know you have good abs?"
"She felt'em" Rachel mumbled with a shrug.
"So you do have good abs?"
"I guess they're ok"
Quinn smiled, tightening her grip around Rachel's waist and hiding her face in her neck "Sorry"
Rachel shrugged, leaning back against Quinn's front "It's fine"
"What're you doing tonight?"
"I have so much homework to catch up on. I didn't do much of it the past couple of weeks. But you can stop by if you wanna"
"I think I might" Quinn said "I wanna met you dad and actually talk to your sister"
"You're sure?" Rachel asked, turning to look up at Quinn.
"Of course. I wanna get to know your family"
"You think that now but once you met them you'll run a mile"
"Hum, I doubt that"
"We'll see" Rachel put her hand on Quinn's cheek and was about to kiss her when someone called her name.
"Rachel" Rachel turned to see her sister standing at the bottom of the bleachers, pointing in front of her "Here"
"Be right back" Rachel mumbled, getting to her feet and hopping down the bleachers "What's up?"
"Dads going out of town for work tonight and I'm going shopping after school with Natalie so you'll have to drive yourself home"
"Ok" Rachel agreed going to take the keys from Ellie but her sister snatched them back.
"So what happened with you and Quinn last night"
"Nothing" Rachel said, trying to grab the keys only to have them pulled back.
"Nothing my ass. How did you get the love bite"
"Ellie, it's none of your business"
"See, I don't even know what to say here. If it was a boy you were dating I'd say stay safe but, you know"
"Ellie! God, give me the keys"
Ellie laughed, handing the keys to Rachel "Get your homework done tonight"
"I will" Rachel nodded, heading back up the bleachers.
"What's the matter?" Quinn asked as Rachel took a seat back down in between her legs.
"My dads out of town for business and my sisters going shopping so I've to drive myself home"
"So I'll have to wait a while to met your dad"
"Looks like it"
She must have fallen asleep because the last thing she remembered was doing homework and now someone was pulling her glasses off.
She groaned slightly, lifting her head to see Quinn smiling at her, the blondes lips moved but Rachel could hear anything other than Fleetwood Mac. At first she thought she was going crazy but them remembered she had her headphones in.
"Sorry?"
"I said you have writing about the Great Gats on your cheek. I'm guessing it should be the Great Gatsby?"
"Uh" Rachel mumbled, her voice still a little raspy from sleep "Yea. It's going good"
"So good you fell asleep"
"I got more than half of it done" Rachel used her sleeve in an attempted to wipe off the pen "Stop smiling like that. It's creepy"
"I have something to smile for"
"Which is?"
Quinn grinned bigger if that was possible, holding up a piece of paper.
Rachel wiped the sleep from her eyes and reading over the letter. All she had to see was accepted before she knew what it was "You got into Yale!"
Quinn nodded, laughing when Rachel hopped off the bed and tackled her to the floor in a hug.
"I'm so proud of you!"
"Thank you"
"When do you leave?" Rachel asked pulling back to look at Quinn.
Quinn sighed, her head falling back against the floor and her hands coming to rest on Rachel's waist "I have to go to the summer program so I leave a week into summer"
"Oh" Rachel frowned slightly but smiled again seconds later "Well that's good right? You get settled in before your actually classes start"
"Yea" Quinn mumbled, pushing herself up on to her elbows "I didn't think you would be happy about me leaving so early"
"I mean I'm not ecstatic but this is your dream school and I'm happy they accepted you"
"I'll be back for a couple of weeks at the end of summer"
"I don't wanna think about you leaving right now. I have ice cream downstairs. Wanna celebrate?"
"It wouldn't be celebrating without sprinkles and raspberry sauce"
"Well it's a good job I have both" Rachel smiled hopping to her feet and pulling Quinn up.
"What're you two doing?" Ellie called as Quinn and Rachel walked through the front room and into the kitchen.
"Celebrating" Rachel grinned holding up the tub of ice cream.
"With ice cream? How old are you, six?"
"You want some?"
"Well, of course but that still doesn't take away the fact six year olds celebrate with ice cream"
Rachel chuckled, serving the three ice creams before taking a seat on the sofa in between Ellie and Quinn "What're you watching?"
"Lilo and Stitch" Ellie mumbled and Rachel just nodded, she knew by the look on Ellie's face that she was to into the movie to talk.
Rachel smiled, though a little confused, when Quinn leant her head against her shoulder. She was just so used to being the one who was leaning and laying against Quinn that she didn't really expect Quinn to ever lean on her. It was quite stupid, really.
"Did you do your homework?" Ellie asked, not taking her eyes away from the TV.
"Yea"Rachel lied
"Really?" Her older sister turned to look at her and she knew she couldn't lie. It was different lying when someone wasn't looking at you but as soon as they did, Rachel was hopeless.
"No"
"Figures because you were asleep when I came up"
Quinn laughed, looking up at Rachel "You're a terrible liar"
"I've always been a horrible liar"
"She has. When she was about six she drew all over the walls in the hallway and then blamed me. I'd been at our grandparents house for a week"
"And you couldn't have thought of a better excuse"
"I was six! The only other excuse I could this of was that my teddy bear did"
"Or maybe you shouldn't have done it in the first place?"
"That was a masterpiece. Better than that wallpaper anyway"
