Quinn's POV
"Q. You...you're gonna what?" Brittany asked, astonished.
"I'm gonna come out. Maybe if I'm open Rachel will finally understand how far I'm willing to go for her."
"Quinn...are you sure you want to do this? I mean, what about your parents?"
"Well I'm sure I'll have Charlie to back me up and you of course..."
"You want me to be there?"
"Of course I do. You're my best friend."
We looked at each other, just smiling. This was totally one of those moments, those pivotal moments that can be life defining. This was gonna be part of my coming out story that we would tell to all our kids years from now.
"Okay, let's go!"I said suddenly
"W-wait, right now?"
"Yup. Before I lose my nerve. This is it."
"This is it," Brittany repeated.
I have never been so afraid, right now in front of my own house then I ever have been anywhere else. Not even at the haunted house last year when all the football guys scared the shit out of the cheerleaders or when I had that pregnancy scare with Puck. Granted the test was negative but the 24 hours between realizing the condom broke and seeing the little minus sign on the peeing stick was hell. Now though, my heart was being so hard I was afraid it would jump out of my chest. I felt like my throat was closing up and I couldn't breath. I felt a squeeze on my shoulder and almost had a heart attack.
"You don't have to do this," Brittany said with a sympathetic smile. I studied her features, the comforting blue eyes and the smile that I was so familiar with. Even if my parents threw me out, I knew I would always have her.
"I know B. But I want to."
"Okay," she said quietly, nodding slowly like she couldn't believe I was doing this. I could barely believe it myself.
Taking one final deep breath I opened the door.
Rachel's POV
"I know."
"Look Finn, I didn't mean to hurt you. I just- wait... YOU KNOW?" he nodded solemnly.
"Of course I know, the way you look at her... I'm surprised the whole town doesn't know."
"You know..." I repeated. How could he know? How could he be so calm?
"Don't worry Rachel. I knew from the start you never loved me. At least, not the way we've been telling everyone..." he trailed off sadly," The truth is, I fell out of love with you a long time ago when I realized you'd never be truly mine."
"Finn..." I can't believe I had been so selfish to not even realize his pain. I had been with him for 2 years and yet I was so dense. And now he would probably never want to speak to me again.
"It doesn't mean I don't care about you though. I do and some part of me will probably always love you but I have already accepted the fact that I have to let you go."
I gave him one look before I started crying and flung myself into his arms and hugged him like my life depended on it.
"I-I'm SOOOO sorry! I...I'm s-so SELFISH! How can y-you even f-forg-ive me for what I've d-one?" I sobbed.
"Sh sh Rachel, it's okay. I'll always be here for you. Like a brother."
"I l-love you Finn, and I'm so g-glad that you understand. I had no idea you w-were so observant."
"Oh thanks!" he said, pretending to be hurt," But I love you too racheI. Although, I think it's time for you to get your girl."
"I-I don't think s-she w-wants me anymore," I sobbed.
"Oh no, of course she does!"
"She broke up with me t-this morning."
"What? You mean you were already together? Why didn't you tell me!"
"Because we're engaged you idiot! How was I supposed to know you would be supportive of my sapphic side?"
"Well, why did she break up with you?"
"Well. Umm, she... Remember when you came in the bathroom?" he thought for a second, you know with that gassy infant look, before his eyes widened.
"She was in the bath tub wasn't she?"
I nodded.
"Damn Rach."
"What should I do Finn?" He looked at me for a moment before slamming his head back on the seat.
"This is so confusing. You really think I have a clue?"
Okay good point.
"Don't you, like, have someone you can call?"
Who would I call that would ever-
Poop.
Sighing I took out my phone.
"Well, there is one person."
Quinn's POV
"Oh there you are Quinn! Charlotte just made dinner," my mom said. She was sitting in the living room, glass of wine in hand," Brittany you're staying right?"
"Yes Judy."
"Mom...I have something I need to tell you," I said, trying to stay calm. She waited for me to say something.
"Well what is it dear?"
"Umm, actually it's...it's sort of something I have to tell the whole family." I watched as the emotions changed on my mother's face, curiosity being the most prominent.
"Oh Quinn you're home," my dad said as he entered.
"Russell, Quinn has something to tell us," mom said calculatively. She knew better then anyone that even the slightest thing could set the man off. It was one of the reasons I was afraid of him.
"Charlie? Can you come in here?" I called, if anyone would be supportive in my family it would be her. She was only a year and a half younger then I was but she was way smarter then I was, or am. Her best friend was a boy named Wade, super gay and super not welcomed in my house by my father but she still hung out with him anyway, especially since I encouraged her not to live her life by our dads' rulebook.
"Yeah what's up?" she said bounding in.
"Your sister has something she'd like to tell us."
"Well, it better be good. I don't want anything to ruin my good mood, one of the laws I ran just passed!" my father exclaimed.
"Oh good for you darling!" My dad bragged about his job with my mom as Charlie just rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue out at us. I exchanged glances with Brittany. She chuckled before taking my hand, silently encouraging me.
"Mom, dad." I said, raising my voice a little.
"What Quinn?" my dad asked shortly. Just do it Quinn, C'mon, you can do this...
"I'm bisexual."
Honestly, I'm surprised I didn't hear crickets- hell anything would be better then this pregnant silence.
My mom had this weird half fake smile, half mouth open in shock thing going and my dad just had this blank stare. Charlie smiled before coming over to sit on the other side of me.
"Good for you sis, I'll always support you," she reassured me.
"H-how do you know?" my mom asked.
"I...I fell in love," I admitted," With a girl." My mom gasped before the tears started to spill, Charlie went to her side.
"Mom, it's not a bad thing. I just-"
"NO!" my dad shouted standing up abruptly, making us all flinch," I will not allow this, in MY house, to MY daughter!" I had been bracing myself for this reaction but it was still utterly terrifying. The way he looked, angry and scared. Like a bear that just got it's cubs killed right in front of its eyes.
"Daddy, I'm happy with her. She makes me happy..." I whispered quietly. My dad looked at me chest heaving before his eyes darted to the place between Brittany and I- where are hands were clasped.
"Daddy it's not her-"
"SHUT UP!" he screamed at me before pointing his finger at Brittany, who was trying her best to keep a strong face on.
"YOU. You're the reason my daughter has become this- this... Sinful DYKE."
"Russell, there's nothing wrong with Quinn. We are not romantically involved but I am here to support her. I love her and I am so proud of her for-"
*SMACK*
There was a moment of silence as Brittany let out a single whimper, cupping her cheek where my father striked her.
"DADDY!"
"RUSSELL!"
My father stood still, his hand still in the air.
"You're lucky I didn't do more. I trusted you with her," he said as he dropped his hand.
"ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE?" I screamed standing up between Brittany and him.
"Get out of my house."
"Fine! I wouldn't want to stay here anyway!" I turned to Brittany, who had not let a single tear fall," B, are you okay?" I asked stroking her hair and caressing her face softly. Her creamy skin was already a nasty red," C'mon let's get out if here," I glared at my father before helping her up.
"No Quinn you're not going anywhere," the voice I wasn't expecting said.
"Judy. You can't expect her to live here. She is not accepted, didn't I make that clear?"
My mom stood and walked to meet him. Charlie came over to us as Britt and I held on to each other.
"Russell. Y-you...," I watched as my mom, who I always thought was a flake that only answered to my father, took a deep breath and looked up at him with such pity in her eyes.
"Yes. While I understand that this is incredibly hard news to take...how you have handled it is unacceptable."
"Judy, you can't be seriously considering/"
"No!" she snapped. I gasped, she has ever stood up to him before. Not ever... on anything. EVER.
"Russell you have gone to far. This is our daughter we're talking about. Not the kids down the street or the people on the news. She is our flesh and blood. So she likes girls like she likes boys. So she's in love with her best friend!"
"I'm not in love with-" I started but my mom was on a roll.
"The point is, even though it's not exactly what I wanted for her, I still love her. And besides, at least we know she can't get pregnant now," she said dryly, the humor was lost.
"I'm sorry Judy, I will not allow it."
"Well, then I can't live with you anymore. You need to leave."
"This is MY house. There's no way you-"
"Fine, then we'll leave! We will ALL leave. You think Charlotte will stay with you? After you have condemned her sister and HIT a seventeen-year-old girl she has looked up to her entire life? You think Brittany won't press charges? You think you'll life will ever be the same?"
"I am the mayor of this town, you think they will side with a washed out house wife and her homo daughter?"
"She is YOUR daughter too!"
"Not anymore."
"Then you better leave."
Silence filled the air once again. Charlie was sobbing into my shoulder as the three of us stayed together. I was afraid that he would hit mom, I don't know what I would do. Probably call the police. Finally my dad spoke.
"Fine. If that's how you want it."
"It is."
"Then I'll go." Mom and I followed him to the door leaving Charlie and Brittany, I didn't want him to hurt her. I breathed a sigh of relief as he stepped out the door.
"Oh by the way Russell, I'll be wanting a divorce." With that she slammed the door in his face.
Brittany's POV
"You think everything'll be alright Britt?" Charlie whispered into my shoulder.
"I hope so Eve," I said. The girl was like my baby sister. I even taught her how to drive a boat! And like Quinn hated when I called her by her first name, Ms. Charlotte Evelyn Fabray detested when I called her by her middle name. Just like Devon, the oldest sister hated when I called her Fabs. Maybe it was just a Fabray thing.
"Is your cheek okay?"
"Yeah, he didn't hit me that hard," I lied. Truth was it stung like 30 angry bees when he first hit me and it still hurt now. Sure it was just a slap but it hurt like a bitch. I expected him to be mad but I didn't expect him to hit me. It's okay though, at least Quinn was strong. I meant it when I said I was proud of her.
Quinn and Judy came back in.
"Oh my god Britt, it's even worse now," Quinn said, kneeling in front of me and holding my face gingerly," Shit there's already a bruise."
"Yeah, I think he was wearing his class right," I chuckled, but moving my face hurt and I winced.
"Charlie go get some ice!"
"O-okay."
"I'm so sorry Britt, I didn't know he was gonna do that. I can't BELIEVE he did that!" for the first time that night Quinn started crying.
"Hey hey hey. Don't worry about me, Q I'm so proud of you! You came out!" I exclaimed kissing her forehead," And Judy, thank you for standing up for Quinn." The woman looked shaken but she managed a smile.
"Dear, I could never let go of my daughters, and you are practically my daughter anyways. I am so sorry you had to experience that, no girl should ever be hit like that."
"Well thank you."
"Um I got some peas!" Charlie said. Sure enough she had a bag of frozen peas in her hand.
"Charlie, that thing is like a rock! You have to go break it up first!"
"Oh right, yeah, got it." she ran back into the kitchen and soon the sound of her slamming a frozen bag of peas against their 4,000 dollar granite counter top filled the air.
"Charlotte! Stop it before you break something!" Judy yelled before rushing into the kitchen," I'm leave you two alone."
"I swear, Charlie may be book smart but she can do the dumbest things," Quinn said.
"Hmm, kinda takes after her sister doesn't she?" I teased. Quinn gasped,
"I'm going to call Devon right now and tell her you said that!" we shared a laugh which felt so good after all the tension.
"Okay, Brittany, here, put this on you cheek," Judy said handing me the half broken up bag of peas. I flinched as it touched my cheek.
"Thank you." All three of them stared at me intently as I held you bag of ice up. Having three pairs of Fabray women eyes on you is entirely unsettling in the most comforting way...that didn't make sense did it?
"Are you guys okay with...you know?" I began, wanting something to ease the silence.
"Honestly? I was planning to divorce him a long time ago."
"WHAT?" I got hit with blonde hair as both the girls whipped their heads to look at their mother.
"Yeah, he has been out and yelling a lot more then usual. This was the final straw."
"Thanks mom, for everything," Quinn smiled embracing her.
"Awww group hug!" I said enveloping them with my arm and trying to avoid my cheek.
"Brittany, I just need to let you know that now that you're dating I will have to administer the open door policy whenever you're around. God knows the only thing stopping teens to have sex is pregnancies and because you guys CAN'T get pregnant-"
"Mom stop stop stop PLEASE stop!" Quinn interjected.
"Eww, you guys are dating!" Charlie squealed.
"Guys Britt isn't the one I'm in love with!"
"Yeah, I have my own girl to take care of," I said smiling, thinking about Santana. Which reminded me I needed to call her ASAP and let her know what was going on.
"Oh well, how did your parents take it?"
"Um well...umm," I stuttered.
"Oh I see well...Quinn. Who's this mysterious girlfriend of yours?"
"Well actually we're not really together right now..."
"And why not? What a Fabray wants a Fabray GETS," Judy said winking.
"Well, Umm y'see, the problem is...the girl I want is sorta..."
"Spit it out!" Charlie yelled impatiently.
"She's sort of engaged."
"Oh my god, you love some cougar who's 20 years older then you don't you!"
"Well the only person our age that's engaged is-"
"Quinn!" a familiar voice screamed as I heard the front door open.
"Rachel!"
Santana's POV
After Rachel had called me and told me that she ended it with the tree and wanted the pixie back I was somehow roped into accompanying her to the Fabray house. Oh by the way, if Rachel Berry ever offers to drive you somewhere say NO. For one thing she can't see over the steering wheel and she drives like she drank two wine coolers which for her is a lot.
"What if she's not home? What if she ran away so that she'd never have to see you again?"
"Shut up!" she snapped.
"Wow okay, touchy subject, I get it. Sorry!"
When she pulled into the ridiculously extravagant, cobblestone driveway I swear I could hear tires screech. Let's just say I could hear her screaming Quinn's name before she even got close to the front door. And while I learned a long time ago that people in Billings don't lock their door I was pretty sure they didn't just go barging in each other's houses either.
"Rachel!" Charlie exclaimed. I have only ever seen the girl twice but apparently she knew Rachel.
"I'm sorry Mrs. Fabray I must speak to your daughter right now! It's absolutely urgent!" Ugh, why did the dwarf always have to dramatic?
"Santana!" Brittany squealed, I turned to see her.
"Britt, baby- oh my god what happened to your face!" she was holding a...bag of peas? In her hand and I could see that her face was red from here. Not to mention the nickel sized bruise.
"Oh baby, what the hell happened?" I questioned in raged. Who ever damaged my girls angel face was about to get seriously fucked up.
"Santana this isn't the time! Please, Quinn I just need you to step outside for one moment and I'll explain everything!" Rachel scolded, I sent a glare in her general direction, not wanting to take my eyes away from Brittany.
"Wait a second, you're in love with HER?" Judy asked flabbergasted," You're in love with the engaged short stack heiress of vegan cereal company and daughter of two flaming dads?"
"Mother!" Quinn cried.
"Actually, while I am the heiress I have no desire to take over the company. Finn will do a fine job by himself."
"Wait, how do you know she loves her?" I asked," Last time I checked Quinn was a closet case."
"Yeah well, that changed about half an hour ago," Charlie said. Even though I had already met her it still shocked me how much she looked like Quinn. Scaring so.
"Yeah and Mr. Fabray did not like it one bit," Brittany laughed pointing at the bruise. Her chuckle died down as she realized everyone was looking at her," Too soon for jokes?"
"He hit you?" I asked, my anger escalating," He fucking HIT you?" I stood up to face Judy," And what the hell did you do about it?"
"Santana..." Brittany said trying to pull me down.
"No Britt, look at you! Look at your face! Where is he upstairs? I'm gonna kick his ass so hard he won't be able to drink from his mouth!"
"I kicked him out," Judy said," I'm sorry sweety I should have done more. Brittany is more then welcome to press charges."
"The hell she will!" I said, angry tears starting to form," Fuck, look at your beautiful face!" I said as I peppered her skin with kisses, being extra careful on the bruised part.
"San San it's okay..." Brittany assured me," It doesn't hurt anymore."
"I-I'm gonna kill him..." I said between sobs.
"I know honey...I know." Well this was embarrassing, she was the one that got hit and I was crying? I jar couldn't help it- what if he had done more? What if he came back?
"Brittany I'm glad you are alright," Rachel started," But Quinn will you just give me a chance?"
Quinn sitting there all daunting with her arms and legs crossed and that steely cold look.
"Fine," she said standing up," Mom we'll be out in the backyard." The two exited rather awkwardly leaving the four of us.
"So, who wants dinner?" Judy offered.
By the time we all finished Rachel and Quinn were STILL outside and now we were just sitting at the table staring at our plates. The phone rang and Judy almost fell out of her chair to get it. That's how awkward it was. Not that I could blame them, this day was physically and mentally exhausting.
"Brittany sweety, you're mom called. She wants you home," Judy said.
"Alright thanks Judy."
"You want me to drive you home?" I asked.
"Yeah thanks."
"Bye guys! Tell Q and Rach I'm happy for them!" Britt called.
"Thanks for everything Judy, and I'm sorry I yelled at you," I apologized.
"Don't worry dear, I know. You two girls are welcome here anytime!
"So you think Rachel and Quinn will get their happy ending?"
"Yeah, I think so," I said.
"Good. They both deserve it."
"I can't believe she came out," Brittany said at the sane time I said,
"I can't believe she dumped Finn." We laughed as we realized what the other said.
"Ahh...I love you so much," I sighed reaching over to hold her free hand.
"I love you too San."
We pulled into her long driveway, just enjoying each others company.
"Hey whose car is that?" I asked, seeing the foreign vehicle. I looked at Brittany as when she didn't answer me immediately. When I saw her she looked as pale as a ghost.
Faster then I thought possible she darted out of the car.
"Hey wait!" I called struggling to keep up with her," What's going on?"
I ran in after her almost knocking her over because she stopped so suddenly.
There at her dining room was Mr. And Mrs. Pierce and Kelsey fucking Donovan. Mr. Pierce was looking at us as Mrs. Pierce stared down at the pictures in her hand.
No one said a word, no one moved.
Fuck fuck fuck, from here I could see the pictures laid out on the table. Pictures of me and her, holding hands, kissing, hugging, walking. Pictures of her and Quinn, pictures of girls I've never seen, pictures of fucking KELSEY.
Finally the she devil herself spoke, with a smile on her face no less,
"Britt, San! How nice of you to join us!"
A/N2: So what do yall have to say to THAT!
...
...
Please don't kill me.
