A/N: Right well here's a second slightly longer chapter that I hope you guys enjoy, I probably won't be updating daily since I go back to college on Friday but I'll try my best. Enjoy and please review because I really need your feedback! =]

Rachel Berry turned off her alarm clock after the second beep of her alarm at 6am. She jumped out of her bed and pulled on a pair of shorts and a tank top before grabbing her iPod and climbing onto the elliptical machine and selecting her workout playlist. Madonna began to play through her headphones as the familiar whirring of the exercise machine stared up.

After half an hour she jumped off and took a quick 10 minute shower before selecting a suitable sweater and skirt combo and pulling the familiar knee high's up her legs. She walked downstairs and entered the kitchen to get a bowl of bran flakes.

"Hey Rach, sleep well?"

"Yes thank you daddy." She replied happily to her daddy Mark, a relatively short man with sandy hair and glasses. He smiled warmly at his daughter and motioned to the coffee pot he was currently pouring from.

"No thanks daddy, caffeine dries out your vocal chords and I have Glee tonight." Rachel stated simply.

"Oh, of course, silly me." Mark joked. He finished pouring himself a cup and turned to his daughter who was currently pouring soya milk onto her Bran flakes.

"I can't believe you can eat those things, they taste like cardboard." Came the voice of Rachel's dad Daniel, he was black and a lot taller than both Rachel and Mark.

"Dad! They do not taste like cardboard and are a nutritious way to start the day."

"They don't taste very nutritious!" he joked grabbing the coffee pot and a mug to pour himself some coffee. Rachel glared at him before turning her attention to her breakfast. Daniel laughed at his daughter's expression and kissed his husband on the forehead.

"So what are you doing in Glee at the moment?" Daniel said putting an arm around Mark.

"We're rehearsing for sectionals although we still haven't chosen a proper set list. I was going to suggest an 'ode to Streisand' to Mr. Schuester tonight. I printed out enough copies of sheet music for the rest of the club last night and created a power point presentation to show the merits of performing such a set." Rachel stated matter-of-factly before returning to her cereal.

"Oh right, well give the other kids a chance to contribute Rachel sweetie." Daniel said looking knowingly at his husband.

"I've given them a month and no one seems to care enough to have put forward any suggestions other than Finn and 'Don't Stop Believing' however I do not believe that that is what the judges will be looking for. The rest of the club is too busy worrying about their costumes, image or finding new and creative ways to ruin my career."

"What do you mean? Has someone done something again because I swear-" Mark was cut off by his daughter.

"No daddy its fine, Quinn said it was just an accident."

"What was just an accident?" Mark said pulling away from his husband.

"I fell over Quinn's foot and hit my arm against the piano yesterday during practice." Rachel said keeping her eyes firmly focused on her empty bowl.

"Quinn Fabray?" Mark asked sternly. Rachel nodded timidly. "I swear if that girl doesn't leave you alone I will go and have a stern word to her parents!"

"No really daddy, its fine! I'll just look where I'm going next time."

"Rachel, that's the third time this month that girl's done something to you and that's not including the name calling and 'slushies'! I'm going to call up the school!" Mark said putting down his coffee and marching over to the phone.

"No daddy please, it won't make any difference, I'll just try and keep out of her way and avoid Finn." Rachel pleaded; she didn't want to go through with the embarrassment of having to sit with Quinn Fabray in Principal Figgins' office while the girl denied all accusations and got away with a cold and obviously fake apology. Daniel saw his daughter's discomfort and butted in.

"Come on Mark, we'll discuss this later." He pleaded.

"Fine." Mark sighed "But why would avoiding Finn make any difference to Quinn Fabray?" he asked incredulously.

"He's Quinn's boyfriend."

"And what difference would that make? You can be friends with a boy without wanting to date them." Mark stated.

"Yes I know that daddy but Quinn seems to think I have a 'thing' for him and she's extremely protective of him."

"Is she now?" Daniel said with a knowing look at Mark. Rachel looked up at her dad with a raised eyebrow.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Oh nothing dear. I best be off anyway, I have a few early appointments scheduled today." Daniel said putting down his empty coffee mug and kissing his husband and daughter in turn before picking up his briefcase and walking from the room. "See you tonight at around 6." He said before shutting the front door.

Rachel grabbed her lunch from the counter before dropping her bowl into the sink and taking a bottle of water from the fridge. She put her lunch into her bag in the hall way and grabbing her car keys.

"I'll see you tonight then dad. Bye!" she called before quickly exiting the house. She didn't want to be quizzed on the actions of Quinn Fabray any more that morning. The girl seemed to be seeping into every aspect of her life, first she forced her to the bottom of the food chain, then she stopped her from befriending Finn, she joined Glee club and made it impossible for her to relax at any point in school and now she was even making her breakfast stressful. She couldn't wait to get the girl out of her life.

Quinn pulled up into the reasonably empty parking lot of William McKinley High School after another quiet and lonely breakfast; she barely saw her parents apart from on Sundays due to their busy work and social calendars that rarely had time for her. She grabbed her red and white Cheerio's duffle bag from the front seat and made her way to the gym for another early Cheerio's practice. She was expected to be early as the head cheerio and so set an example to the rest of the team which she did in every aspect of her life. It was like one big guide on how to live the 'American Dream' or at least be the perfect daughter to the man living this so called dream.

The gym was deserted when Quinn entered it so she flung her bag onto the front bleachers and began to stretch out ready for practice. Santana and Brittany came in just as Quinn was completing her third lap of the gym.

"Hey S, Hey B" Quinn called.

"Man Q, How'd you manage to get up this early and get yourself to move without being yelled out?" Santana yawned, releasing Brittany's hand to put down her bag next to Quinn's. The head Cheerio just laughed at her friend.

"Practice." She said with a smile coming to a stop in front of the other two girls. "Not like I have much else to do in the mornings."

"Uh, try sleeping." Santana suggested with another yawn.

"Quit yawing, you're reminding me how early it is." She joked. Santana shook her head and took Brittany's hand pulling the girl with her to start warming up. "So did you guys get up to much yesterday then?" Quinn asked as they started warming up.

"Santana took me to the park after school." Brittany smiled at the Latina.

"Uh, yeah, you should have come Quinn." Santana blushed slightly under Brittany's gaze.

"I was... busy." Quinn looked at the floor.

"Ugh thanks for the images!" Santana teased with a smirk.

"Shut up S, who said I was doing anything like that." Quinn replied.

"The look on your face, you look guilty as hell! You guys must have got to forth base or something." Santana joked. Quinn's eyes narrowed.

"Shut up." She snapped.

"Geez Q, I was only joking. It's not like it's that big a deal anyway." She raised an eyebrow and Quinn realised she was over-reacting.

"Right, yeah, sorry. Must be tired or something." She said while turning away to face the bleachers as the rest of the Cheerios began to filter into the gym.

Practice was over without any issues and the Cheerios left the gym to go to first period. Quinn put her bag into the locker room and went to get her stuff for first period. She was walking along head down, deep in thought about the coming evening. She had decided that tonight was the night when she'd 'give herself' to Finn. Great she was even beginning to sound like Berry, like she was from the 30's or something. This realisation spurred her on even more and she was now almost sure about doing it. Surely sleeping with Finn would make her forget all about Berry and as Finn had said, they'd been dating for a year, even Santana expected her to have slept with Finn by now. It was normal; it was expected, even if she was the head of the celibacy club. Tonight was the night she'd finally forget Berry and be able to actually live the dream without any regrets.

Just as she had thought this she collided with a small, soft and fast moving object sending her flying forwards. She steadied herself against a nearby locker to stop her from collapsing on the small argyle covered lump that had just landed on the floor. Quinn was about to reach out and offer the now slightly cowering brunette a hand but checked herself just in time to redirect her hand to her hair in an attempt to smooth it out and give her time to put up her cold front. Rachel gave her a weary yet curious look which made Quinn's anger come to the forefront again.

"How many times Rupaul? Watch where you're going!" Quinn yelled venomously before distancing herself from the brunette. She was about to turn and walk away from the scene before she was dragged into saying anything else.

"Why don't you watch where you're going?" Rachel snapped back angrily. Quinn turned back around and glared at the diva who was now clearly regretting allowing herself to speak.

"What?" Quinn asked, her eyes so narrow it was surprising she could see through them.

"I...I... nothing, sorry." Rachel stuttered trying desperately to get back onto her feet. Quinn took a stride forward just as the brunette had regained her footing and glared down at her suddenly realising their proximity. She took an involuntarily deep breath and a wave of strawberry and mint swept dangerously through her nostrils clouding her thoughts. As if things couldn't get worse at that moment Quinn's eyes locked onto Rachel's wide, scared eyes and she completely froze up. Quinn's expression changed from menacing to vulnerable and confused in a matter of seconds as she was caught by Berry like a snared rabbit. She couldn't will herself to move and the mask she wore had seemed to slip from her face and was now lying somewhere by her feet.

The bell rang at that moment, plunging Quinn back into reality with excruciating swiftness. She managed to regain her senses in a second and a look that could reduce a room full Sue Sylvester's into a blubbering mess grew over on her face. Rachel instantly recoiled at the look of sheer anger and disgust that had taken over Quinn's face.

"Get out of my way." Quinn spoke and the venom was almost tangible dripping from the words. Rachel instantly moved out of the way of the stewing blonde and she charge off down the hall, the students parted and most pressed their backs right to the lockers in order to avoid her wrath. Rachel stood staring after Quinn in complete and utter fear and shock. What on earth had just happened? She'd never seen the blonde's face look so exposed and open and then so angry. The change and been so quick it was almost impossible and left the brunette wondering if she had imagined the first bit.

The hall way was now empty and Rachel realised she was late for English so quickly rushed off to get to class, her head was a complete mess and it was highly unlikely that she would actually take anything in during the lesson but she had nowhere else to go. She quickly pulled her wheelie bag to class.

Quinn Fabray on the other hand was not only confused but livid. She couldn't think properly. What the hell had happened with man hands? She marched off down the halls in what she later realised was the opposite direction to her class but she just needed to get away from Berry, fast. Things were getting ridiculous now. Berry was her enemy, she was a loser and most importantly she was a girl. How the hell had she had that effect on her? She was Quinn freaking Fabray, HBIC, the queen of McKinley and yet she was being unravelled by Rachel 'Rupaul' Berry.

Quinn burst through the front doors of WMHS and ended up outside of her car. She climbed in and slammed the door before thumping the car into reverse, sending back her tyres into a cloud of smoke and squealing, and sped out of the lot to wherever.

She ended up at her church.

Quinn parked up her car in the huge lot and let her legs carry her into the huge building. She didn't have a clue why she'd ended up here, maybe God sent her there or something. It was a comforting thought to think that God wanted to help her out but at the same time it seemed to confirm that whatever she was feeling for Berry was wrong.

She pushed open one of the wooden doors and entered into the back of the large white, light room. Rows of dark, wooden pews face forward towards a slightly risen platform on which sat a cloth covered table with a large wooden cross placed upon it. Quinn sat in a pew towards the back of the room and began to think about... everything.

She must have been sat down undisturbed for a good hour before her pastor called her name from the front of the room.

"Quinn? Is that you?" A tall, brown haired, middle-aged man was walking towards her with a questioning look on his face. Quinn looked up at him but decided not to speak. "What's up? Shouldn't you be in school?"

"Free period." Quinn answered simply.

"Ok then. Well what brings you here then?" He asked tilting his head slightly to the side. Quinn deliberated telling John what she had been thinking but decided against it since she didn't want her parents to find out that she was going to sleep with Finn. She quickly created an excuse and decided to get back to school.

"I have a test next period and I just needed to calm down a bit beforehand." It wasn't a complete lie, she did need to calm down but thankfully she didn't have a test next period. "In fact I should probably be getting back now so, thanks." Quinn said as she got up and left the building leaving a slightly bewildered pastor behind.

Quinn had managed to deflect all the questioning glances Santana had shot at her during the day and made it to the end of the day without seeing Rachel however she was about to be stuck with the brunette for an hour in Glee club but after that she'd be going home with Finn to finally get rid of all thoughts of the diva. The thought didn't seem to make her happy like she thought it would, instead she just felt an over whelming sense of anxiety and guilt. Guilt again as ever. She couldn't wait to get rid of that.

Seeing Finn sitting down talking to Puck she plastered on her best sweet smile and walked over to her boyfriend. She was followed by Rachel's questioning eyes which stirred up even more guilt. When Quinn reached the quarterback she sat in his lap and kissed the boy forcefully, taking him of guard. He spluttered before proceeding to assault her mouth with his slug of a tongue. Quinn pulled away and wiped her mouth trying to hide the repulse that she currently felt as Finn smiled proudly at her and Puck eyed her with a grin, clearly undressing her with his eyes. Quinn smiled at Finn before taking her own chair. She caught a glimpse of Rachel who was still looking at her with confusion and what she thought was... pity.

Pity, how could she possibly be getting pitying looks from the inhabitant of the sub-basement? The familiar burn of anger rose up through her stomach causing the blonde to glare at Rachel before whipping her head round to face Mr. Schuester as he blabbered on about Sectionals and the competition as usual. She'd zoned out in a matter of minutes and thought about what she was going to do tonight. Her parents wouldn't be home until at least 8 so she had plenty of time. Finn would be gone before they got home and they'd be none the wiser. No one else would know about it and she'd be cured of her little 'Berry Problem' and free to go on living her life and maybe even enjoy it. It was a win-win for everyone involved she reasoned.

Mr. Schuester finally let them go after an hour of practicing more random songs and a bit more blabbering. Quinn was surprised to notice that Rachel hadn't really spoken at all throughout the meeting which she was thankful for. She pulled Finn out the door and towards the parking lot.

"Come over to mine tonight, my parent's won't be home for a long time." she cooed to Finn whose face instantly lit up.

"Sure babe. I'll follow you there." He said walking, or rather strutting, over to his car. Quinn rolled her eyes before getting into her car and looked at herself in the rear-view, this was it. She straitened up her hair and tried to still her heart, her palms were sweaty and she could feel her stomach drop slightly with the tension. Finn's car appeared in her rear-view and she stepped down on the gas with one last look at the school. The glance was almost wistful as though this would be the last time she would see it or at least see it this way. Berry stepped through the door just as Quinn drove past and gave her what looked like a smile. The blonde looked away, pretending not to see her as she drove out of the gates settling into the fear that was now permeating steadily through her body.
