As they reached Judy, Quinn and Santana lifted the woman, each putting an arm around their shoulders and started to walk out with Rachel following behind. The girls helped Judy into the back seat, Quinn sat in the back with her and asked Rachel to sit in the front. She wouldn't admit it but she was concerned about having a vampire around her bleeding mum, Quinn highly doubted Rachel would do anything but she was still getting used to it herself. What would have happened if her and Rachel swapped places and Rachel's eyes flashed that gorgeous blue in front of her mum. Not a word was said between any of the three girls as Quinn and Rachel were both still letting the images of Santana quite frankly beating the shit out of Quinn's father sink in. Quinn's mind had a flashback to Santana "I remember you motherfucker" and the grunt as she kicked him. What had he said before they (Quinn and Rachel) had arrived, the blonde cheerleader was so caught up in her thoughts she didn't notice Santana keep glancing at her in the rear-view mirror. Santana cleared her throat and Quinn looked up, locking eyes with the Latina. "are you okay?" she asked in an unSantana way, she almost sounded like a normal concerned friend. Quinn Snorted "Shouldn't I be asking you that, since you went all Mike Tyson on my father?" Santana looked shocked momentarily but quickly regained her composure "Mrs Fabray, am I taking you to the hospital, back to mine, back to Rachels or some where else?" Santana asked in a casual tone avoiding Quinn's eyes. Judy tried to speak and started coughing and gasping, Rachel leaned forward grabbed the bottle of water out the side of her door, turned round and gave the water to Judy. When Quinn noticed Rachel turning she unconsciously held her breath and leaned forward to take the water off her, for her mum "Thanks Rach" Quinn smiled weakly and then watched as Judy took sips of the water before speaking up "Santana call me Judy please,**she took a deep breath before adding ** I honestly have no idea, we have no where?" Santana's gaze flicked back and forth between the road and the rear-view mirror "I can talk to Abuela and see if you guys can stay with us, we can always make room" Santana spoke soothingly and then Rachel took that as her que to speak up "You two can stay with us, we have two guest rooms and as Quinn previously learnt.. my fathers are extremely friendly". A moment went by as Judy processed, "why don't we figure out our next move at mine" Rachel interjected
At Rachel's the girls helped set Judy down on the chair while Quinn dragged Santana off by her arm to have a conversation where Judy couldn't hear them. "What did you mean back there, when you was with him?" Quinn asked staring straight into Santana's eyes. "What, with Russell?" Santana quizzed clearly puzzled "Yes" Quinn bluntly replied, " he got creepy and told me he didn't remember me" the Latina mumbled looking down. Quinn hugged Santana and whispered a thank you, "I don't know what you're talking about" Santana said pulling away and attempting her tough girl glare, "you didn't just lash out at him because he didn't remember you San!" "Okay so you figured it out, congratulations Detective dork… can we go back to the others now!" Quinn grinned, nodded and started to walk back with Santana trailing. When they got back Rachel and Judy were gone, Quinn began thinking the worst and her breathing became erratic. She ran upstairs as a last hope that Russell wasn't here and began looking through rooms, Santana did the same at the other end of the corridor. Quinn reached the last door and peered inside, she found her mother lying in the bed with Rachel dabbing a wet cloth and gently rubbing the dried blood off of Judy's face. Then she dropped the cloth in a bowl of water swished it round until it was clean again and then repeated her reaction. Quinn smiled to herself and pushed the door open further, walking into the room and next to Rachel. Santana joined the others in the room and crouched down near Judy who was asleep, Quinn asked San to stay with her mum while she went and spoke to Rachel. The Latina quirked her eyebrow in her usual manner but agreed. Quinn reached for Rachel's hand and pulled her out the room, shutting the door behind them. She led herself and Rachel through to Rachel's room, once inside she shut the door and leaned against it letting out a long sigh. "Hey what's up Quinn?" Rachel asked turning around and smiling up at her. Quinn growled slightly leaned forward grabbed two fistfuls of Rachel's jacket pulled the shocked girl towards her and twisted them round so she now had Rachel pinned against the door. "wha" Rachel started before she found Quinn's lips on hers, Rachel gave up on logic and went with the flow.. Quinn run her tongue against Rachel's bottom lip and with that they deepened the kiss. Quinn's hand was resting on Rachel's shoulder while her other hand was on the midgets hip. Her nails were gently scratching back and forth. Rachel's hands were desperately gripping onto each side of the door frame as she tried to maintain control, not wanting her eyes to change again and freak her the blonde out again like it had outside breadsticks. Quinn pulled away sensing something was wrong "Rach" she gently panted, she looked the smaller girl up and down "are you okay?". Rachel smiled "course"
Quinn's eyebrow launched itself up "You're lying, what is it?" Quinn decided to confront the girl.
"I just… don't want to scare you again" The Jewish girl confessed quietly to the floor.
"I wouldn't kiss someone I was scared of like that, would you?" Quinn asked smirking.
Rachel loved the way Quinn could so easily calm her nerves, she didn't realise she hadn't replied until Quinn spoke up again.. "Don't ever hide who you are Rach, I'm sorry about how I reacted before it just took me by surprise. You're amazing and as I said before your eyes are super sexy!" She finished with a wink and a giggle at Rachel's face.
The shorter girl quickly recomposed her features "you said something about a way you kiss people you're not scared of?" She questioned as innocently as possible.
"Oh yeah?" Quinn asked smirking.
"I was wondering.. if I could see a demonstration of this special technique?" She asked braking out into a full out grin.
"Hmm. Well if it's going to be educational" Quinn said cupping the side of Rachel's neck and leaning forward until their lips met. She began licking and tugging on the shorter girls bottom lip before mumbling a brief "don't hide yourself" and just like that Quinn felt Rachel grin into the kiss.
….
The girls walked back into the room with Santana and Judy, they sat gossiping about random people from school while Judy was still sleeping on the Berry's spare bed. When her fathers returned Rachel went down and filled them in on the situation. They agreed that the Fabrays could stay as long as they wanted and that they'd talk to Judy about arrangements in the morning if she was feeling up to it but like the first time they met Quinn they both enveloped her into a bone crushing hug and told her that if there was anything that they could do for her or her mother to let them know. They the enveloped Santana in a hug which had Quinn and Rachel sniggering at the disgruntled Latina who hated to be touched by anyone other than Quinn and Brittany.
Later that night Rachel noticed Quinn wasn't aroud and so went to knock on her bedroom door but the door was open and Quinn wasn't in there but her window was open, she remembered a story Quinn told earlier about how she used to love to climb out of it and climb on the roof. She walked over and stuck her head out awkwardly looking up at the roof, she saw Quinn sitting up and decided to check on her. She started climbing up and realised the blonde was facing the other way, she had both headphones in and was singing.
Look around, it's deadly night
You've been losing every fight
You're hope is, feeling broken
You're feet are rough, they're scraped and bruised
But still have strength to take you through,
Into,
The dark
Just close your eyes
And push right through
I know it's tough right now
This was meant for you
When the clouds are gone
Not a shadow in sight
You'll be drenched in the sun
With open eyes
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
At the beach, the waves will crash
Tuck and grab and pull you back
The sun may, be covered in gray
The sand will itch, itself may burn
Hurricane will take it's turn
Until,
The dawn
Just close your eyes
And push right through
I know it's tough right now
This was meant for you
When the clouds are gone
Not a storm insight
You'll be drenched in the sun
With open eyes
So close your eyes, shut them tight
Let it be, and it will fade away (fade away)
Push on though the strength in you
Let it be, and wish it all away (all away)
So close your eyes, shut them tight
Let it be, and it will fade away (fade away)
Push on though the strength in you
Let it be, and wish it all away (all away)
With open eyes,
Open wide,
It's all good now, watch it fade away,
Day by day
Just close your eyes
And push right through
I know it's tough right now
This was meant for you
When the clouds are gone
Not a storm insight
You'll be drenched in the sun
With open eyes.
Rachel decided she needed some time to herself and climbed back down the roof away from the blonde. She figured she'd send the girl a text instead and then the head cheerio would come to her when she needed her.
