-Chapter 40-

-Quinn pov-

Everything has been going so well. Minus the weird civil war that I am not apart of. Rachel and Santana have been glaring everyday. I am not taking a side unless I know what happened and have a reason too.

Fran and Brittany are just as confused. I believe it has something to do with Angel. I sigh and roll my neck after a stressful practice. Now I have to get over to the club room for glee.

I get my spanks on just for them to apparently be too small. Have I gained some weight? I weighed myself and nothing changed though. What is going on?

I pull them down and my eyebrows shoot up. Rachel Berry has spanks/lingerie I have never seen! I quickly tuck them away and rush out. I will have to be careful since I am spanks less now.

I run to the club room and I see a bunch of people huddled around. I make my way forward as I hear metal smash. I stop at the front as I see what is happening. I am too frozen in fear and shock to be able and do anything about it though.

-Background music just cause XP-

After all you put me through,

You think I'd despise you,

But in the end I wanna thank you,

'Cause you've made me that much stronger

Rachel staggers up and glares at Santana. I thought this was about Angel. What the hell is happening right now? I look around and see the club just as confused

Well I, I thought I knew you, thinkin' that you were true

Guess I, I couldn't trust called your bluff time is up

'Cause I've had enough

You were there by my side, always down for the ride

But your joy ride just came down in flames 'cause your greed sold me out in shame

Santana rushes Rachel and pushes her into the ground. The head thud is sickening but so are the punches. Rachel is taking it all though. What is happening right now?!

After all of the stealing and cheating you probably think that I hold resentment for you

But uh uh, oh no, you're wrong

'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do, I wouldn't know

Just how capable I am to pull through

So I wanna say thank you

'Cause it

"Do something!" Santana punches Rachel across the nose and I go to stop them but Fran stops me "Why are you holding me back?!"

"This is needed" I look her in the eyes and see it is killing her "It is needed for both of them and I have already told the fam not to interfere"

Makes me that much stronger

Makes me work a little bit harder

It makes me that much wiser

So thanks for making me a fighter

Made me learn a little bit faster

Made my skin a little bit thicker

Makes me that much smarter

So thanks for making me a fighter

Never saw it coming, all of your backstabbing

Just so you could cash in on a good thing before I'd realize your game

I heard you're going round playing the victim now

But don't even begin feeling I'm the one to blame

'Cause you dug your own grave

After all of the fights and the lies 'cause you're wanting to haunt me

But that won't work anymore, no more,

It's over

'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture

I wouldn't know how to be this way now and never back down

So I wanna say thank you

'Cause it

"Punch me Rachel! Stop giving up on your life!" Santana drags Rachel by the collar and slides her into the lockers hard "DO SOMETHING! WHY TRY TO SAVE MY LIFE BUT NOT YOUR OWN?! WHY DO YOU KEEP CARING ABOUT ME?!"

"Be..because I love you" Santana sobs as she kicks Rachel down and all Rachel does is sit back up "Cause if I die saving you, Brittany, Quinn, or Fran my life has been worth it"

I choke out a sob as I look at my beaten up girlfriend. Fran holds onto me tightly as she shakes some. Some kids have tried to move in but the club have held them back. This does have to happen.

Makes me that much stronger

Makes me work a little bit harder

It makes me that much wiser

So thanks for making me a fighter

Made me learn a little bit faster

Made my skin a little bit thicker

Makes me that much smarter

So thanks for making me a fighter

How could this man I thought I knew

Turn out to be unjust so cruel

Could only see the good in you

Pretended not to see the truth

You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself

Through living in denial

But in the end you'll see

YOU-WON'T-STOP-ME

"Fight me!" Santana holds my rag doll girlfriend up but her collar "DO IT...please"

"I love you sis" We all cringe as Rachel hits the locker "Kill me if you must"

"I can't!" Santana stumbles back "Just hit me! Say you hate me! Do something! DO SOMETHING!"

I am a fighter and I

I ain't gonna stop

There is no turning back

I've had enough

Makes me that much stronger

Makes me work a little bit harder

It makes me that much wiser

So thanks for making me a fighter

Made me learn a little bit faster

Made my skin a little bit thicker

Makes me that much smarter

So thanks for making me a fighter

You thought I would forget

But I remembered

'Cause I remembered

I remembered

You thought I would forget

I remembered

'Cause I remembered

I remembered

Makes me that much stronger

Makes me work a little bit harder

It makes me that much wiser

So thanks for making me a fighter

Made me learn a little bit faster

Made my skin a little bit thicker

Makes me that much smarter

So thanks for making me a fighter

"I can't" Santana falls and pulls Rachel into her "Oh god I am so sorry!"

"Get Shelby now!" Fran let's go of me and we run to them "Come on and back it up! Everyone keep quiet about this!"

"Oh god I hurt her!" I pull Santana back and she hides in my neck "I am a monster! All she wanted to do was help! I turned against everyone! I am such a bad sister! Rachel I am so, so sorry!"

"I am fine" Rachel's eyes close as Shelby rushes over "I am just tired"

"Let's get her to the car" Fran picks up Rachel and Shelby turns toward us "You too Santana"

-Time skip-Rachel pov-

I wake up and groan from the pain. Of course my meds wore off. I sigh and sit up the best I can. My right eye is completely swollen shut.

I look with my good eye and see Santana in the bed beside me. Her wrist is covered and her leg is elevated. She is fidgeting with a rubic cube currently. I smile despite the pain from my busted lip.

"You able to solve it?" She almost solves it when she jumps "Sorry for the scare"

"Why?" I raise my eyebrow confused "Why are you so kind to me? I resorted back to my old ways cause I thought you turned Brittany against me"

"Cause I know you love Brittany and love Angel" Santana does not respond "I love you so much sis"

"You really have forgiven us" Santana sighs and looks over at me "I still struggle forgiving myself"

"We will work on it" She smiles and nods "Now everyone outside get in here!"

The room is soon busy and I chuckle. I accept the kisses from my girls while the girls discuss their relationship. The club and family are here as well. Even some random kids are here.

I am going to make sure we all are ok in New York. This is the place our dreams will come true. We can only do that on the same page. We can be better when everyone is happy.

So getting us all on the same page is what matters. If a beating is what I have to take so be it. I will take all of the blows. But I will make sure we win the next two competitions.

We are going to make New York our bitch.
