A/N Thanks for the view, reviews, and favorites. I put a lot of my feelings into Quinn's thought process about coming out so hopefully it isn't too sad. I'm still trying to update as much as I can each week so here is another chapter!

Chapter 7

Quinn woke up shirtless and very relaxed. Her mind was still blurry from sleep and she couldn't remember why she had fallen asleep with her Cheerios skirt still on. She thought back to Rachel and then remembered everything that had happened the night before, the fight, her professing her love to Rachel, and her first orgasm that had felt so good she couldn't wait to do it again.

Quinn took a quick shower and put her Cheerios outfit back on. She crept down the stairs hoping that she would be able to leave the house without having a conversation with her mother.

"Quinnie, I made toast come eat some before you leave!"

Quinn groaned and made her way to the table so she could have a bite of toast and a sip of orange juice before rushing off to school in order to just make it to her first class on time. She really needed to start getting up earlier, but it wasn't like she was ever late so she was fine for now.

"Quinnie, Rachel told me that she cheered you up and you weren't upset anymore. Is that true?"

"Yes Mom. I had a bad day at school and I just needed a good cry. I have to go or I will be late. Bye Mom. Love You" Quinn placed her cup of juice down, kissed her mom on the cheek, and grabbed her keys from the kitchen counter hoping to get out of the house as soon as possible so she could avoid letting something slip about her new found feelings for Rachel.

When Quinn arrived at school the first bell had already rang. She fumbled with her locker out of nervousness and when she had finally managed to grab her books the late bell went off. Quinn had never been late to class and she was scared of the consequences hoping that she wouldn't get a detention. Lost in thought, Quinn ran into Rachel causing her to drop all of her books.

"Hey klutz! Why don't you watch where you're fucking going! Oh, hey Quinn" Rachel's face had turned from an angry frown to a beaming smile.

"Hey Rach, I wish I could talk, but I'm late to Chem. Wait, you're in the class too!"

"Yeah and I told you I normally skip."

"I can't afford a detention! What am I going to do Rachel? Yale doesn't accept troublemakers"

"Yale? Hmmm, I've got it!" Rachel searched in her bag until she found a packet of ketchup. "I had a nosebleed and you were escorting me to the nurse" Rachel ripped open the packet and began to smear it on her top lip and the end of her nostrils.

"You would lie for me? Did I ever tell you I love you?

"Yes, yes you did. I think it was yesterday to be more exact and then I showed you just how much I love you." Rachel smirked and grabbed Quinn's hand as she started to walk to the Chemistry class room.

"Ah Ms. Fabray and Ms. Berry, thank you for joining us five minutes after the late bell rang." Mr. Craven was not a mean teacher, but he hated when people where late to his class.

"Mr. Craven, I'm very sorry, but due to this very dry winter I had a nosebleed that would not stop. I'm glad that I had Quinn her to help me stop the bleeding so I could get to class." Rachel pointed to the almost dry ketchup on her face.

"Well if it was health related I guess I can let it slip for today, but no more being late. Just because you are new Ms. Fabray don't expect any special treatment. Now get to your seats!" Mr. Craven smacked his pen on a desk to get his point across and grabbed his coffee not noticing Rachel grab a tissue and wiping the ketchup off of her face and quickly getting to her seat.

"Oh please you two where probably making out in the janitor's closet on the second floor." Quinn turned as red as a beet as Santana whispered the snarky comment to the pair.

"Oh my god! You totally where! Quinn how come you didn't tell me that you snacked on the native dish? I totally can show you a good time if you can handle all this." Santana winked and used her hands to gesture up and down her amazing body making Quinn turn even redder if that's possible.

"Now Santana I'm sure you wouldn't want the whole school to know that you are a big fat lesbian who's more whipped by their girlfriend than those rich Hollywood husbands that have to be caught walking their wive's little rat dogs. Keep Quinn's secret and I'll keep yours." Rachel gruffly whispered to Santana knowing how scared she was of being outed.

"I'm not scared of you Berry!" Santana spat

Rachel waited for the teacher to turn to the board then she shoved a hand into Santana's spanks making her gasp. "You say you're not scared, but I've known you long enough to know just how much fear turns you on and you are definitely drenched." Rachel withdrew her hand and wiped Santana's desire on her pant leg.

"Fine, I'll keep you're girlfriends secret, but you know how hard it is to keep something hidden in this school. You know the pressure will be too much one day and you or she will let someone slip about her sexuality. It's hard not being straight in a town like this, but we both know it's not the end of the world." Santana turned her attention back to the lecture and let Rachel ponder her words. Santana was right, but sometimes the truth hurt.

Rachel turned back to Quinn who was lost in thought with her bottom lip between her teeth. Rachel grabbed Quinn's hand and gave it a soft squeeze as she looked up and smiled reassuringly.

Quinn was lost in thought for the whole day and she barely noticed when Rachel slipped into her car with her. When Quinn pulled into her driveway she just sat there looking out the window. Rachel sneezed and Quinn jumped; her heart beating rapidly.

"Sorry, I thought you knew that I was in the car with you" Rachel grabbed Quinn's hand as she absentmindedly stroked her thumb.

"I've been thinking all day I haven't really noticed anything that's happened. Santana's words got to me."

"What were you thinking about?"

"Coming out. I've pushed these feeling away for so long because I was raised in a world full of hate. My mother would never kick me out, but I'm scared that she will look at me in a different light and I won't be her normal daughter that will marry some rich man that will treat me right. I'm scared she won't allow me to feel this way and she will pray for my 'illness'. I'm scared of the looks and the names and all of the people that will be disgusted of who I am. I'm scared that you will leave me because of all of my fears. I'm just scared Rachel. I'm a scared little girl that needs someone to tell me it's going to be alright even if it's not." Quinn had tears in the corners of her eyes and Rachel brushed them away quickly.

"I hate that you're scared. I know that coming out isn't easy, but don't ever think that I will leave you because you aren't ready to make a huge decision." Rachel leaned across the console and held Quinn close not caring that the shift stick was digging into her side. "Everything's going to be okay Quinn"

Rachel held Quinn close until the sun started to set. She got out of the car and helped Quinn into her house.

"Stay the night with me Rachel. Please." Quinn pulled a puppy dog pout and Rachel melted.

"Ok, I have to text my dad's then I'll meet you upstairs." Rachel watched Quinn go up the stairs and she pulled out her phone to text her dad's, but after she sent the text she decided that she needed to text someone else

To Santana: You really scared Quinn. You know that? You made her cry and she is a hell of a lot more scared of coming out than you are! She comes from a conservative Christian family where gay is so wrong some kids get kicked out of their house! She also has no rep at this school yet. Sure, she's a Cheerio, but I swear to god if you make another gay comment you will have a nice slushie facial waiting for you every morning. Do you understand me?

From Santana: Damn Berry I didn't know all of that crap. I'll apologize tomorrow ok? You know if kids at the school found out she was dating you I'm sure she would have a rep ;)

To Santana: Just listen to me about those jokes! They get to her! Now I have a hot blonde to snuggle up to tonight. Night Satan!

From Santana: Well I have a hot blonde to fuck tonight. Night Berry the Fairy!

Rachel smiled to herself, her relationship with Santana was weird because they had had sex together, but when Rachel had quit that lifestyle Santana was there for her in a bitchy way, but at least she was there. Rachel remembered that Quinn was upstairs and she raced upstairs hoping that Quinn would be awake for a quick make-out session. When she got to her room Quinn was sleeping on her back and she was snoring softly. Rachel thought it was so cute she forgot all about the make-out session. She stripped down to her bra and panties and slid into the bed. She kissed Quinn's forehead and rolled onto her side drifting to sleep.

She woke up to Quinn spooning her from behind and her hands where placed just under her breasts making Rachel squirm. Quinn's head was nestled into the crook of her neck and her breath was blowing hotly making Rachel's hair stand up. Rachel felt a wave of arousal coated her thighs and she sighed and looked at the clock. 3:40. this is going to be quite a long night Rachel thought to herself as she felt Quinn's hand move down before it settled on her bare stomach. Rachel closed her eyes and began to think about dead puppies and Finn naked. She had seen it before and boy was it not a pretty sight. After a few minutes Rachel too was fast asleep.
