I bring you all a new chapter, finally right? Sorry for holding out I just couldn't come up with anything yet. I've been so busy I can't think really. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter. Today it's Rachel's POV. Also I realized switching off from present time to memory was a tad bit too difficult, what I mean is having the characters remember something. I'd rather have a present time scene and then go to a memory, I will try to balance them out. Just keep in mind, every memory and present time does serve a purpose. Thank you. Enjoy.

Chapter 13 - Tired

"So you're confused about who you like?" Ms. Pillsbury said rather confused.

"Ms. Pillsbury, have you ever been confused on who you like?" Rachel pleaded.

Ms. Pillsbury shook her head still confused, "I really don't see where you're getting at Rachel but uhh…" she said turning to her brochures trying to find the perfect one to give her.

"I think I like girls" Rachel blurted out, Ms. Pillsbury turned quickly around.

"What makes you think that?"

"Never mind that, I uhh, I got to go" Rachel said quickly heading out the door. She wanted to just get to her locker and go to class or wherever she could.

Why would you say that! You idiot! I can't believe I was so close to telling her, why did I even go see her!

"Where are you going?" Rachel heard a familiar voice say.

Quinn… I have to be mean

"Why do you care Quinn Fabray?" she said trying her best not to turn, she knew once she saw her face she would melt. She was focusing on the knob for her locker, twisting it to the right numbers.

"I just do" Rachel didn't have to turn and look at her to know she was caught by surprise. Rachel always used her whole name when she was mad or extremely happy, which Rachel obviously wasn't. Rachel opened her locker and got her things quickly, still not looking at Quinn.

Awww she still cares. No Rachel focus, say something!

"That's not a valid reason. I mean you're not with me anymore, what makes you think you can care?"

Quinn was silent, Rachel knew it was her cue to continue talking.

"Maybe you'll remember when you remember what….." You have to say it Rachel "We had..."

Now just turn and walk away she thought slamming her locker and turning around. She was upset, but she hadn't known exactly why. She knew Quinn still loved her, so why was she pushing her away?

Rachel decided to go to the library and hide in the background, she quickly opened any book she had in hand and began reading. She didn't realize it was impossible to read with your mind racing. She decided to check her phone, she saw the date. She realized if she and Quinn were still together, they would be together for a year well almost, It had been a year since she met Quinn. She sighed, now she realized why she was upset. She wondered if Quinn remembered.

"What did Quinn want?" Leroy asked cocking his head to the side.

Rachel confused as ever "I'm not really sure" she said closing her phone "Anyways daddy, why don't we just go eat" she said tugging on Leroy's hand. He tugged on Hiram's hand.

Rachel lead them to a vegan restaurant Quinn had taken her. She never remembered the name; she didn't think it was all that important.

They entered and Rachel saw Quinn's dad sitting at the table on the far left. She wasn't sure whether to greet him or ignore him. She decided to go greet him, but she saw a woman walking his way.

That's not Judy she thought watching him.

The woman sat down across from him and smiled. She grabbed his hand and they both began smiling.

Rachel eyed him carefully and saw he had taken off his wedding ring.

What am I going to tell Quinn? She gasped when she felt a heavy hand on her shoulder.

"C'mon Rachel let's go sit over there" Hiram said pointing at the table Leroy was already sitting at. She began walking towards them but kept watching Russell. She watched how he flirted and held his hand on her leg. She felt like she wanted to barf.

"Who is that?" Rachel heard herself say.

"Who?" Leroy said looking around.

"Uhh no one forget I even said anything" she said turning to face Russell again.

"Okay" Leroy said looking back down at the menu.

The waitress had finally come and took their orders. Rachel realized she hadn't even looked at the menu.

"I would like…." She said studying the menu for what seemed forever, she still watched Russell with her peripheral vision "What the fuck!" Rachel yelled.

The waitress and her fathers looked at her wide eyed. Other customers had also stared at her and Russell looked at her.

"Daddy, dad. I'm so sorry I just got excited because I saw they had my favorite vegan chocolate, I thought it was rare" she said quickly ignoring the fact she had just seen Russell kissing another woman.

Rachel closed her phone and looked up and saw Quinn walk into the library, she quickly held up her book to her face and tried to blend in with the furniture, she began to hold her breath. She kept sneaking a look at what Quinn was doing; she saw her pull out a yearbook.

What is she doing?

She peeked again and she saw Quinn's face, she looked satisfied in a weird way, she watched her close the yearbook and began to walk out.

Rachel quickly gathered her things so she can get out of the library.

"Finn Hudson?" she heard Quinn say surprised.

Rachel watched her from behind the book shelves.

"Yeah" the freakishly large boy said "I uh I'm sorry" he smiled a dopey grin.

"You're Finn Hudson?" Quinn said, she sounded like she was in disbelief.

"Uhhhh yeah?" Finn said.

In seconds she saw Quinn's attitude change, Rachel was not happy with this at all. She saw Quinn began to flirt with him she quickly turned around and tuned them out.

So this is what Quinn Fabray does… pretends to fall in love with you and goes after a guy.

Rachel thought as she let her back slide down and sat on her butt.

"Oh Barbara, what would you do?" she sighed.

"Rachel!" Leroy and Hiram spoke in unison "Language!"

"I'm so sorry" Rachel said looking around seeing some of the customers stopped staring, others sneaking glances, and Russell Fabray that kept his eye on her.

SSSSHHHHHHHIIIIIIITTTTTT! Rachel yelled in her head.

"It's okay honey" Hiram said looking at her pale face "We'll take our orders to go" he said to the waitress.

Leroy began to tell the waitress what they wanted while Hiram sat next to Rachel and wrapped his arm around her.

"Honey what happened? Do you want a glass of water?" Hiram whispered.

"No dad, I'm fine…. I just…" she tried to come up with an excuse "I want to go home"

What am I going to do? Do I tell Quinn? Is it my place to tell her? Do I tell Judy?

"Here's a cup of water" Leroy said looking into her eyes, he knew something was wrong but he had no clue what it was.

"Thank you daddy" she said grabbing the cup. She began to get up and Leroy wrapped his arm around her and Hiram followed behind them with a paper bag in hand.

They quickly got into the car, Rachel watched her dads share glances.

"So Rachel…" Hiram began "What happened?"

Before she could stop herself she blurted out "I saw Quinn's dad with another woman"

Leroy and Hiram both turned to look at her, the face with disbelief.

"Do I have to tell Quinn?" Rachel pleaded.

"No hon-" Hiram began.

"I think you do" Leroy interrupted. Hiram turned to look at him, it seemed as if he read his mind.

"Rachel, I think you should tell her" Hiram said.

Before Rachel could respond there was a loud banging on the driver's side, all 3 of them turned to a very angry Russell Fabray. Rachel gulped.

Rachel peeked over and saw Quinn and Finn gone. She quickly got up and ran to the bathroom. She went into a stall and called her dad.

"Daddy" Rachel said urgently.

"Rachel what's wrong?" Hiram asked, he wasn't sure to be worried or not, he knew his daughter could be a bit dramatic.

"Please come pick me up" Rachel sobbed, she didn't even realize she began crying.

"I'm on my way" Hiram answered and hung up. She began to walk out of the restroom and tears slid down, she tried her best to keep them under control. Straight ahead of her she saw Quinn and Finn walking her way, she wanted to turn but her feet wouldn't budge.

She began to wipe her tears rapidly, she stared at the ground. She could hear Quinn giggling, as she heard it get closer she heard it abruptly stop.

"Rach what's wrong?" Quinn sounded very concerned putting her hand on Rachel's shoulder.

"Don't touch me" Rachel whispered.

"What did she say?" Finn said sounding idiotic. Rachel got mad hearing his voice.

"Don't touch me" Rachel hissed and tried to walk away, Quinn wrapped her arm around Rachel's.

Rachel flinched as if Quinn's hands burned into hers.

"I can't do this anymore" Rachel said looking straight at Quinn. Her eyes were red and her cheeks were tear streaked. "Do you even know what today is?"

She watched Quinn; she saw how she tried to remember. "You know what forget it" Rachel said ripping herself from Quinn's embrace.

She walked away quickly, she reached the entrance when she heard Quinn yell "The day we met!" Rachel turned slightly and saw Quinn was running towards her. Rachel turned back to the door and opened it and walked to her dad's car.

Rachel was tired, she wanted to start her life, without Quinn.
