The worst feeling in the world is when you can't love anyone else, because your heart still belongs to the one who broke it.

Quinn smiled softly as she watched Rachel and Jesse in the front, she wouldn't outright tell her that she was happy that she had finally met someone more suited to her, because that would just mean she would admit defeat to her insecurities of Rachel and cement the jealousy she held when Finn dated Rachel instead of her.

She glanced to her side and frowned as she saw the anger in Finn's eyes, he was sitting rigid in his seat and glaring directly into the back of Jesse's head, she sighed and shook her head. She should have known better, just when she was beginning to feel secure in her relationship again Finn had to start getting jealous of Rachel...again. How could he not see that she had moved on? And for real this time, not that he knew that, Rachel had ended up discussing this with her in the bathroom a mere few hours ago

"Rachel? Can we talk, please?" Quinn smiled sadly at the girl as she came out of the stall, she hadn't planned on waiting or anything but she heard the all too familiar under the breath singing that could only belong to Rachel, and she knew now was her chance to talk to her.

"Sure Quinn, what's up" Rachel smiled as she washed her hands, slightly shocked at why Quinn wanted to talk to her...And the fact she called her by her name

"I need to talk to you...About Finn" She watched as the smaller girl tensed up, finished washing her hands and drying them before meeting her eyes, but there was something different there that Quinn couldn't put her finger on.

"Okay, what's up with Finn?" She asked timidly, her show face on.

"It's just, we're together again, I didn't know if you knew that and I wanted to tell you just in case you didn't get the wrong idea about you and him getting back together...Like you's have in the past. It's just, this time I think it's really going to work with us, he's my first love Rachel, and I regret what I done with Puck, he knows that and we're working past our issues. And the whole situation with Sam aswell, that was just a mistake, it seemed like we never got our timing right. But I know how much you love him but...I think it's really over between you two, I thought I would spare you the embarrassment of being told in Glee club so you wouldn't throw one of your major Berry tantrums that we all know of.." Quinn trailed off, knowing that she was beginning to ramble, and pleasantly surprised that Rachel hadn't tried to cut her off. Maybe she was beginning to grow up.

Rachel watched the blonde speak and tried to fight the smile off her face, she knew long before Quinn that her and Finn's break up would be their last, she had finally realized that she had changed herself far too much for their relationship and in doing so sacrificed a better relationship with a certain curly-haired lead male of the rival show choir. Even though he egged her, but they worked past their issues and with him currently residing in Lima until Rachel graduated this year for them both to go to New York together, Rachel knew she had met her soulmate.

"Loved" She murmured softly

"What was that?" Quinn raised an eyebrow

"You said 'But I know how much you love him', you're wrong" Rachel smiled softly, "I loved him. Past tense. Believe me Quinn I knew that when me and Finn broke up those few months ago, I knew that was our final break up. It was actually me who broke up with him" Quinn's eyes widened, Finn hand't told her that.

"Wait, you broke it off with him?"

Rachel nodded, "I sacrificed too much for Finn, while he didn't sacrifice anything for me. I was changing all my life goals and dreams to suit him, he wanted me to put off New York for a year so he could go to LA with Puck to screen write or something" she laughed wistfully. "Anyway, I still am friends with Finn, but I have someone else in my life...Someone who I lost a chance with because I still had my moon/crazed eyes for Finn"

Quinn narrowed her eyes slightly, trying to detect a lie in her story but she couldn't, and the glossy, loved look Rachel got in her eyes as she spoke only confirmed the truth. "This someone...Do I know him?" She smiled slightly, having a funny feeling she knew who it was already

Rachel blushed and sighed, "You do"

"Thought so" Quinn laughed, "It's St James isn't it?"

"Yeah, but I swear Quinn he's different! He really is! He's matured and profusely apologized for what he done to me. And I know that it's crazy but I do believe him! He's even living this year in Lima until I graduate so we can go to Broadway together" Rachel grinned, her eyes twinkling with happiness.

"Rachel, calm down, it's okay" Quinn smiled and placed a hand on her shoulder. "If you want to date Jesse it's your choice, don't let anyone else in Glee tell you any different okay? And the way you speak about him and the way your face lights up as you do, I believe it when you say he's changed"

"You do?" Rachel blinked, raising an eyebrow at her

Quinn nodded, "Yeah, and I'm really happy that you found your person. You deserve happiness Rachel, and I really am sorry for all the times I tried to ruin it for you. I was a total bitch"

Both of the girls laughed, a comfortable silence falling between them as they both came to an understanding. No longer would they have to fight over the one boy that always came between them.

"So, what does this mean?" Rachel asked quietly, playing with her hands nervously

"It means Rachel, that we can put all our past behind us" Quinn smiled, "I'd like to try be friends if you want to?"

"Really Quinn?" She squeaked in surprise, someone actually and genuinely wanted to be her friend

"Yeah"

"I'd like that"

"Good" Quinn smiled

The ringing of the bell snapped Quinn from her thoughts and she sighed as Glee ended for another day, she saw Finn getting up, hastily trying to grab Rachel before she left with Jesse. She shook her head and grabbed Finn's hand, stopping him from going anywhere, he blinked in surprise before glaring at her

"Let me go Quinn"

"No, Finn. We need to talk, and we're going to once everyone leaves" Quinn frowned, glancing around the room and watching as everyone packed up and left. Finn's eyes lingering on the retreating backs of Rachel and Jesse

"What's this about" He sighed, sitting back down in his seat, leaving Quinn standing.

"You know what this is about Finn" she sighed, brushing a stray stand of her blonde out of her face

"Rachel" he muttered

"Exactly"

"What about her?"

"Why can't you see she's moved on Finn? She's happy with Jesse"

"He's not good for her!" He grunted, avoiding eye contact

"And how do you know that? Are you really judging it on what happened during junior year? If she can forget and forgive why can't you Finn? Everyone else has, even me" Quinn sat down beside him, staring at him sadly

"He broke her heart Quinn, he almost caused her to leave for Vocal Adrenaline and he egged her! You don't do that to someone you claim to love"

"Everyone makes mistakes Finn, I know that I've had my fair share, with sleeping with Puck and lying to you" Finn winced, even she did at that painful memory, "To cheating on Sam with you...But just because we make mistakes doesn't mean we are bad people, we don't even know how the rest of Rachel and Jesse's relationship was, we only ever saw them in Glee. And Finn, Jesse transferred here for Rachel...He left because Vocal Adrenaline was the reason he was getting a full scholarship to UCLA. It was his ticket out of here, and McKinley couldn't offer that. He could have done it in a nicer way but he came back, and is making up for his mistakes"

"I can't believe you Quinn" Finn shook his head and glared at her again, "How can you sit there and defend him"

"Easy" Quinn stated, "Because I'm not clinging onto hope that they'll break up and swoop in to save the day" Finn looked down and shook his head

"I'm not doing that

"Yes, you are Finn" Quinn sighed, "She's moved on Finn, she even told me herself this afternoon"

Finn glanced at her, "She said that?"

Quinn nodded, "Yes, she's happy with him Finn, they're in love. I've never saw two people more suited for each other then them. When she talks about him, her face lights up and her eyes glaze over. She's smitten"

Finn sighed, he was too late. He had lost his chance with Rachel, and now he was screwing things up with Quinn, his life has really went down the drain recently and all he could do is string along two girls, he cared deeply for. He was still annoyed at the fact that St Jackass was but there was nothing he could do about that.

"I know it's hard getting over someone that you truly loved, but sometimes you gotta just suck it up and do it even if you don't want to" Quinn took his hand in hers again, this time more gently and squeezed it comfortingly.

"Quinn..." Finn began, but she just shook her head

"When I was with Sam, I was so happy" she sighed, "I thought I could have what we had with him, if I didn't cheat on him I think we'd be extremely happy together. But then you were single, and I don't know these feelings decided to creep back up again. I swore to myself it wouldn't happen again. I vowed to myself that when we broke up it was the end. The end of my longing and pining over a guy who was chasing another girl. I told myself I was over you. But oh how I was wrong. And now here it is again, quite a while late. And my love for you is now even greater. I spend all my time thinking of you Finn, I'm in love with again and there's nothing I can do about it" Quinn sniffed and quickly wiped away the tear that was falling. "I would love you a thousand times for you to love me once more, the way you loved me before she came along"

"I never knew you felt that way Quinn" Finn whispered, turning his body to face her, happy that no one else was here to witness Quinn breaking down and actually showing her emotions.

"The reason I didn't say anything is because there was really nothing I could say" she sighed, looking up into his eyes.

"I do love you Quinn, I do" He leaned forward and placed a hand on her cheek, stroking it softly, almost as if it would break. Quinn smiled sadly and leaned into his touch.

"I know I should hate you, but my heart is just so stupid that it keeps right on loving you"

"Please don't hate me, Quinn. This is our time, okay. We'll make it right. I love you, I do" He pleaded

"I know you do Finn" Quinn smiled, her tears falling quickly and freely now as she took his hand off her cheek. "But I think you need time to get over Rachel"

"What? Quinn, no!"

"You do Finn, don't deny it" She whispered and grabbed her bag, standing up and taking a deep breath. "Something tells me that whatever happens with us, whether we stay together or go our separate ways in the end, no matter what neither of us will forget the time we spent together. And I'm grateful for that Finn" She smiled sadly. "You were my first love, but...I can't continue waiting for you if you don't even try and attempt to move on from Rachel, she's happy Finn. And in love. She's moved on. I just wish you could move on and be happy. With me" Quinn placed a kiss to his forehead before walking out of the room, taking a deep breath as she walked down the hallway, finally understanding how Rachel felt being the second girl.
