Chapter 7 'A Thousand times over' Faberry

EXT. NEW YORK – BEDFORD ST. - NIGHT

"Rachel?" She heard a voice calling her name, accompanied by the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. Rachel opens her eyes and sees a blonde holding a cup of coffee.

"What are you doing here?" A raspy voice said. Rachel whips around to face the person standing beside her.

"Quinn." she said, as the blonde raised an eyebrow; still waiting for a reply.

"I was just on my way back to the hotel." Rachel explained, looking crestfallen. Quinn studied the brunette's face for a moment, who was staring at nothing.

"I'm sorry to bother you Quinn, I'll leave you alone now." the brunette added, turning to leave.

"Wait. I'll walk with you." Quinn said, that made Rachel stop; she looks at her questioningly.

"I need to talk to you." the blonde added.

EXT. NEW YORK – STREET – SAME NIGHT

Quinn and Rachel walked in silence. The blonde, occasionally taking a sip of coffee, Rachel with her arms still wrapped around her.

"You're dressed up. It's too fancy for just a coffee. I'm assuming you were out with someone." Quinn finally speaking up, tapping the cup on her hands with a finger. "No! You're supposed to say 'you look amazing Rachel'." she mentally corrected herself.

"If this is about Finn-" Rachel started, but was quickly interrupted by Quinn who stepped in front of her.

"Fine. I'll go straight to the point." the blonde said firmly. "What part of the 'I get Finn and you get heart broken' speech that I gave you that you didn't understand?" she added, looking into the brunette's eyes. "This is not how I planned it." she thought to herself.

"I get it Quinn. You're mad at me because Finn dumped you and now he wants me." Rachel said staring back at Quinn. "You want to desperately win, that's why you want to take everything from me." the brunette continued as Quinn shakes her head in frustration.

"What about the part 'Me sending you or your way'? Jesus, Rachel! You're in New York. This is your dream. This is where you should be! Haven't you realize anything, what you'll be missing if you keep pursuing a life with Finn?" Quinn said her voice raising a bit.

"I have, Quinn." Rachel said softly, taking a deep breath. "But why are you helping me?" she adds.

"Because I want you to achieve your dreams. I want you to live the life that you've always wanted. I want you to succeed. Finn's just going to hold you back." Quin said, her eyes glistening with tears.

"You're pushing me to forget about Finn, so that you can have him." Rachel said, her eyes filled with hurt.

"No Rachel." Quinn answered as she wipes her eyes with the back of her hand.

"Keep telling yourself that you're doing this for me, but we both know that you're only doing this because you want him back!" Rachel yelled at Quinn pointing a finger at the blonde.

"I don't want Finn!" cried Quinn, now tears flowing from her eyes.

"Then what do you want Quinn?" Rachel throws back.

"I want you!" Quinn blurted out, her tear-filled eyes widening a bit.

Rachel was taken aback by the blonde's confession, her mouth opens but no words are formed.

Quinn sniffles, then wipes away the tears again; trying to compose herself. "I've been keeping it to myself for so long, and everytime I see you crying over him, it breaks my heart a thousand times over." she says trying hard not to cry again.

She takes a step closer to Rachel, "I'm in love with you, Rachel." she voices out softly.

Rachel stares at the hazel eyes looking deep into hers. "Quinn, I-I can't. I have to go." muttered Rachel then quickly leaves, sprinting away from Quinn.

Quinn stayed rooted from where the brunette left her; sobbing as she stares at Rachel until she disappears.

FADE OUT.
