Summer's over! Chapter 2, a glee fanfic

The next day they all gathered in the choir room ready for Glee the tention from yesterday was still evident and Santana had been handing out slushie facials like it was nothing. Santana, Brittany and Quinn sat in the back row and chatted quietly about Santana's impending solo, Rachel's fashion sense and took a bet on who Rachel would end up with next.. Mr Schuester bounced in not seconds later wearing his same heart throb smile as usual.

" Okay guys, so today Santana visited me durin her free period and showed me a song she's written about her holiday and the twister we experienced.. I trust everybody will listen up and maintain the trust that we have"

Finn: "why should we, she treats us like crap.. She's not one of us, she's a cheerio and one of Sue's minion's"

Quinn: "shut up, God Finn your such an ass hole!"

Brittany: "Yer Finn, you always talk about being a team but you keep attacking Santana and Blaine, what makes you so special?"

Mr Schuester " okay guys that's enough, Santana is a key member of this team Finn and if you do not return her trust your out of Glee permanently, no exceptions!"

Mr Schuester gave Santana a sympathetic smile "Come on down Santana and share your song"

Santana slowly stood up and walked down, the usual confidence was gone and she looked pale, when she got to the band and Brad she handed them some paper, turning to look at everyone she sucked in a deep breath lowered her head and whispered to herself more than anyone.. "this is for you Mum" facing back towards the other members she looked to Brittany as she began Dry

lightning cracks across the skies
Those storm clouds gather in her eyes
Her daddy was a mean old mister
Mama was an angel in the ground
The weather man called for a twister
She prayed blow it down

There's not enough rain in Ohiooo
To wash the sins out of that house
There's not enough wind in Ohiooo
To rip the nails out of the past

Shatter every window 'til it's all blown away,
Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away
'til there's nothing left standing,
Nothing left of yesterday
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away,
Blown away

she looked at all the other members of the club and tears started to sting at her eyes she took a deep breath and continued.

She heard those sirens screaming out
Her daddy laid there passed out on the couch
She locked herself in the cellar
Listened to the screaming of the wind
Some people called it taking shelter
She called it sweet revenge

she looked at the floor ashamed at the confession she'd admitted in the previous verse.

There's not enough rain in Ohiooo
To wash the sins out of that house
There's not enough wind in Ohiooo
To rip the nails out of the past

Shatter every window 'til it's all blown away (blown away)
Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away (blown away)
'til there's nothing left standing,
Nothing left of yesterday (blown away)
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away,

Blown away, blown away, blown away, blown away, blown away

She stood at the front feeling naked and exposed, tears streaming down her cheeks as she looked at the floor.. Brittany went running to Santana and hugged her "So is that why your living with your Abuela ?" Santana nodded against Brittany's shoulder.. Mr Schuester stood there for a moment shocked at the emotion Santana had displayed before clearing his throat in an attempt to gather the groups attention, however no one had seen Santana Lopez cry before some were looking out of curiosity of what would happen next, some were looking out of shock at what had been going on with Santana and others wanted to reach out to her but were afraid that the old Santana would appear at any moment.

Rachel as normal was first to brake the silence "Santana I..I.. I had no idea. I think it's brilliant you voiced your heartache through an appropriately emotional song. I always suspected something was going on"

Santana wiped her eyes and gave a scornful glance in Rachel and Finns direction slowly walking over to her " Don't you dare act like you know me, you know nothing! You never did, your a stuck up drama queen Rachel and Finn stays with you because he's Finn" Rachel looked shocked and Finn looked horrified, trying to think of how to respond "I'm not a moron Santana" Finn tried to defend himself.. " I don't think your a moron, I don't think your a genius either... I'm not even sure you know the day of the week Finn!" Santana sneered at him before straightening her high pony and walking out the room. Brittany ran out after her and Quinn decided one of them should stay there to see if anything was said.. Like usual Rachel made her opinions on the events that had taken place known. Quinn had, had enough and text Santana to say their plan was going ahead tomorrow lunch time..

The next day at lunch time Santana, Quinn and Brittany had made their plans with the rest of the cheerios and everyone was clear on their role.. A football player brought Rachel outside to the football stadium and said that Finn wanted to talk to her.. Santana and Quinn had a megaphone ready and when Rachel walked out Santana and Quinn nodded to the others.. "Rachel Bitching-Berry... please step forward" they both shouted into the megaphone... Rachel turned to where the noise had come from and looked confused "What's going on" she asked but was met with silence.. all the other students from school had turned silent and was watching with interest.. Santana turned sideways and shouted through the megaphone " Ready girls, Rachel Berry THIS IS FOR YOU...1...2...3...4... ** they all skipped together and began the cheer** Rachel...Berry... this ones... 4... you...Don't feel sad, don't feel blue, Frankenstein was ugly too, the only thing he's got on you, is that he didn't smell like poo! As they sung the last word the cheerios circled round Rachel and each member emptied a slushie onto the small Jewish girl. They all stood round taking pictures on their phone... all except Quinn who walked off when the song and dance was over.

Later at Glee the three cheerios sat in the front row, Brittany and Santana were having a conversation about their cheer at lunch time. Quinn was in deep thought and didn't notice Rachel walk in, until Rachel marched right up to the trio and announced in her aggravated voice " i have a problem" Santana barely acknowledged the girls existence "really Berry? I'd like to help you out. Which way did you come in?" after she'd finished she smiled up at Rachel before continuing her discussion with Brittany, Rachel looked defeated at Quinn and walked out.. Quinn decided to see what was going on with Berry and followed her out, once they had reached the other end of the corridor Quinn called out to her "Berry, wait up" Rachel jumped and turned round.. she'd been having an inner argument and hadn't noticed the blonde tailgating her down the corridor. "why Quinn, so you can cheer about me some more Or are you just going to focus on the slushying now?" she asked as she continued to storm off.. Quinn lunged forward and grabbed Rachel's wrist and pulled it so she turned around. "I'm sorry about earlier okay, you were talking all that smack about San and she's my best friend... but I swear I never knew about the slushes.. Santana never told me about that" Rachel looked into Quinn's eyes and went to turn away but stopped, "you know Quinn I always hopped we could be friends one day... not for popularity or to prevent being slushied but I generally believed you were a nice person... I've always had your back with your pregnancy, when Beth was born, when you were unpopular because Santana took your spot on as captain.. how many of your so called friends can you say that about... we're in the same Glee club but I'm done Quinn, you win.. you have no one now, congratulations..." and with that Rachel turned and walked off... Quinn was shocked by how much Rachel just said had hurt her and that most of what she'd just said was true.. she walked back to Glee quietly looking down the whole time.. she sat back in her seat and was silent throughout the rest of Glee until the bell rang. She got up and went straight through to student reception

Receptionist: Hello Quinn, how can I help?

Quinn: You know my name?

Receptionist: Sure do, my daughters a major fan of the cheerios.. she tried out but Sue's Sue

Quinn: Oh really? I was wonder if I could get my friends address, I'm meant to go round but can't remember where she lives?

Receptionist: yer, she's still crying about it, I feel so bad for her. And I'd love to but it's against school policy hun!

Quinn: please, I'll be late. What about if I gave your daughter private lessons to help her into the cheerios.

The receptionist thinks about it for a while

Receptionist: for how long?

Quinn: with me teaching her, she should be on within 4 months..

Receptionist: wow must be important if your prepared to give up 4 months for one address!

The receptionist rights down her daughters mobile number and tells Quinn to ring her daughter and tell her she'll help her train, the daughter screams down the phone and Quinn jumps back dropping the phone.. Quinn picks up the phone and hangs up!

Quinn: can I have the address now?

Receptionist: sure, who's?

Quinn: Rachel Barbra Berry!

The Receptionist wrights it down for Quinn and hands it to her, Quinn runs out eyeing the address.. jumps into her car and drives off into the direction of Rachel's house.. She got just over a mile and a half down the road and was singing to Beyonce's end of time .. when she saw Rachel walking on the pavement, she slowed down to 5 MPH and undone her passenger window " Rachel do you want a lift?" Rachel looked at her "No Quinn" and carried on walking... "Please Rachel I need to talk to you" Rachel looked at her with a face Quinn didn't recognise... "please" she sid again in a desperate tone.. Rachel stopped and so did Quinn.. Rachel got in the passenger side and sat there for a second before asking " you not worried your 'friends' will see me get into your car?" there was a bitter tone to Rachel's voice and Quinn shrugged and glanced at Rach before simply saying "No...you?" the brunette turned in her seat slightly so she was facing Quinn "why would I be, there's nothing they can do to me that they don't already" Quinn didn't say anything and they drove on in an awkward silence.. a few streets had passed before Quinn spoke again "I'm sorry, Rachel.. I got carried away and your right it was unfair of me!" they stopped at traffic lights "You do tend to have my back in your own twisted way " Quinn and Rachel looked into each others eyes and they both chuckled before Quinn looked away and back at the traffic lights and moved off from the junction.. Quinn pulled into a car park and turned the engine off but kept the ignition on, she turned to Rachel..

Quinn "Did you really mean what you said earlier?"

Rachel "which bit?"

Quinn " that you believed I was a nice person?"

Rachel "Yes, still do"

Quinn " how come? I've been awful to you?"

Rachel "I see the things you do when you think people aren't looking"

Quinn "like what?"

Rachel "first day back you helped a girl in the year below, she'd been slushied and couldn't put her hair in a ponytail in the girls bathroom"

Quinn "and? That's one thing Rach"

Rachel "most cheerio's would have laughed or ignored her, you gave her a spare dress and put her hir in a messy bun for her...did you know she was on her way to her brothers funeral .. he was in the army.. killed in action"

Quinn "oh, I just assumed she was Gothic and gave her the darkest cloths I could find in my locker"

Rachel let out a small laugh

Rachel " See, this is the you I want to be friends with.. not who you pretend to be Quinn, your better than that! Anyway what we're you doing when you kidnapped me, you live in the other direction of town"

Quinn shrugs it off with a simple "Going to kidnap you from your house, you made it easier by being slow!"

Rachel looks confused "how do you know where I live?"

Quinn "bribed the woman at reception"

Rachel raised an eyebrow "with what"

Quinn smiled "4 months of one on one cheerio training for her daughter"

Rachel's mouth hung open " you must have been desperate.."

Quinn "I needed to talk to you, you were right about what you said.. I am alone, always have been! At home.. at school I surround myself with people who are supposed to be like me but I always feel the same"

Rachel leans over and hugs Quinn before sitting back in her previous position " do you feel alone when your with me?"

Quinn looks in Rachel's eyes and smiles "no, for some reason I don't"
