Three weeks had passed and Quinn was finally being released from the hospital. She went home to find the house empty. "Figures." She mumbles. She went around the house picking up trash and beer cans her mother had tossed aside. She sinks down into the couch and flips on the TV. Some musical is on but her mind is on Rachel.
The doorbell suddenly rings breaking Quinn out of her thoughts. She slowly makes her way to the door and grins when she sees who it is. "Hey." Rachel greets her. Quinn pulls her into a hug. Rachel wraps her arms around her. "Sorry I know it's late but," "I'm glad you're here." Quinn cuts her off as she pulls her inside. Quinn walks over to the couch and sits down, Rachel watches her. "How are you feeling? "Rachel asks as she takes a seat next to Quinn. Quinn scoots closer. "The pain comes and goes."
Rachel glances around the house. "Where's your mom." She asks. "I honestly don't know, Quinn answers glancing around the living room, before finally settling on Rachel. Rachel frowns. Quinn gets up and heads towards the kitchen, Rachel watches her go. "Want anything?" Quinn calls over her shoulder. "No thanks." Rachel responds.
Quinn returns with a bottle of water and pills, she quickly takes them and sets the water on the coffee table. "She didn't even come to the hospital." Quinn cries out. Rachel quickly scoots closer to her side. She gently wipes away her tears, "shh don't cry." Quinn sobs harder and pulls Rachel into a hug.
"My own mother doesn't even love me." "But I do." Rachel says in her ear. Quinn smiles, "I love you Rachel so much." She whispers. Rachel pulls away and tucks a strand of hair behind Quinn's ear. "And I love you just as much." She responds.
Quinn pulls Rachel down beside her in a laying position. She cuddles into Rachel's side and pulls a blanket over them covering them both. "Will you just hold me?" Quinn asks her voice full of hope. "Till the end of time." Rachel responds pulling Quinn into her arms. Quinn lays her head on Rachel's chest and listens to her heartbeat. Rachel begins to stroke Quinn's hair and sing softly to her, "When the rain is blowing in your face and the whole world is on your case. "I could over you a warm embrace, to make you feel my love." She smiled and looked down, when she heard Quinn snoring quietly. She kissed her forehead and joined her in slumber.
Rachel was startled out of her sleep by the sound of Quinn whimpering. "Please no." Quinn whispered. Rachel began to stroke Quinn's cheek, "babe wake up." She whispered. Quinn shot forward her eyes darting around in terror; they soften when they land on Rachel. "Sorry, Quinn say sleepily. "Nightmare." Rachel frowns. She pulls Quinn back into her arms and holds her tight. "Don't worry I'm here". Rachel says soothingly. "Forever?" Quinn asks. "Forever." Rachel responds.
