Chapter 4

Sitting in her car, Quinn looked up at the white house, red door, and picket fence. It was the perfect small town house. She smiled to herself when she saw the two cars in the driveway. Taking a deep breath, she slowly exited the car and walked up to the house. Summoning the courage, she knocked softly on the door and waited a few seconds before she heard footsteps and the door knob twist open.

Looking up, she saw her big sister standing in the doorway. She looked like Quinn, but had blue eyes and her hair was a darker blonde. Quinn took in her appearance quickly. A band tee and sweatpants. She was obviously, just about to go to bed. And by looking at her face, she could tell that her sister was pregnant. "Quinn? What are you doing here?" She asked, opening the door more.

Quinn shifted her weight and asked, "Can I come in?"

"Of course." Stepping aside, she allowed Quinn to walk in and closed the door behind her. Looking at her little sister, she could see that something big was bothering the blonde. "Quinn?"

Sniffling, Quinn looked up from her gaze on the carpet. She was unable to meet her sister's kind eyes. Finally, she broke down. "I messed up big, Sarah. I messed up so badly." Quinn cried and her sister took her into her arms immediately.

Holding her close, she whispered, "Shh. It's okay Quinn. I'm sure it's not that bad..."

"No. You don't understand. Dad kicked me out again, that's how bad I screwed up."

"Okay, c'mon, let's sit." Taking her hand, Sarah led her to the couches and sat down, still holding her hand. "Tell me what happened. From the beginning."

Taking a deep breath, she nodded then began. "Well after I had the baby, me and Rachel Berry."

"The one with the two dads and who you torment?"

Nodding, she continued. "Anyway, her biological mother adopted Beth and that hurt her a lot, so we kinda started to bond over the summer. I don't know, I guess we kinda became friends. Anyway, the Saturday before school, I saw her sitting in the park and I went over to her. We talked, then we ended up kissing. It was the most perfect kiss that I've ever had. But when I pulled away, she said she loves me...I overreacted. I ran from her. You know how I get with emotions. I tend to push everyone away. Now, I'm treating her like shit, because I'm afraid of my own feelings. What's wrong with me, Sarah? Why is God punishing me like this? What did I do?"

"You didn't do anything, Quinn. You're a great person. You're just afraid of your new feelings. That's understandable. I know you. You will do anything for your friends and those you love. Taking it out on Rachel, is what helps you mellow. But you need to stop, she loves you. And by treating her like that, it isn't right. That's not the gentle, caring Quinn I know. Shoving her around will not change how you feel for her. By the look in your eyes, you love her just as much as she loves you." Sarah brushed back a strand of hair and smiled weakly.

"What do I do?" Quinn choked out, looking up at her sister.

"Talk to her. Apologize. Tell her how you feel towards her, honestly. I had to do that with Ryan and now look at me. Pregnant after two years of marriage. Quinn. You can do this. I know you can. You're a strong woman. And my baby sister. So you can..."

"Where were you last year?" Quinn questioned as she wiped her tears away.

"I'm sorry I wasn't here for you, Quinn. I was in Europe with Ryan for his work. But I'm here now, and I'm going to make it up to you, I promise. Okay?" Quinn nodded and hugged her sister. "Good. Now what happened to you?"

Pulling away, Quinn said, "Um. Dad was driving through the park that night and saw me and Rachel kissing. He was pissed. He then kicked me out, again."

"You can stay in the guest room. However long you want. But for now, stay here, I'll go get my husband to look at your nose, he is a doctor." With that Sarah stood up, kissed her forehead then went upstairs to get Ryan.

After her nose was fixed, a piece of medical tape across the bridge, she and Sarah set up her room. Then Quinn kissed her sister good night. Grateful that she wasn't upset at her like her father was. Sarah was always understanding, and kind when it came to Quinn. That's why they have a relationship that they can count on.

When Quinn's head met the pillow, she sighed and quickly fell asleep.

The next day at school, Quinn leaned against the lockers and watched Rachel walking up the hall. A small smile crept upon her face as she watched the brunette. Her moves graceful, and innocent. It was when Rachel was pulling out her books that Puck approached Quinn. "You alright there Baby Momma?" He asked.

Rolling her eyes, she said, "I'm fine."

Then in a whisper, Puck said, "I know you love Berry."

Quickly, she grabbed his hand and pulled him into an empty classroom. "Repeat."

"It's obvious Quinn. You've never been this mean to the girl before this year, and I know something happened that is causing you to really push her away. So I just asked Berry and she told me what happened with some difficulty. So why are you being like this? You love her, she loves you. Just go get with her already."

Shaking her head, "It's not that easy, Puck. I have my re-"

"Yeah, your reputation. I know. But that's not of importance right now. What is, is your love for my fellow Jew. I heard you got kicked out. I'm sorry. But all that means is that you can be with her now, and not give a flying shit about what your parents say. Drop the facade and just go kiss her. Blow her mind, like I know you do."

Tears escaped her eyes. "Puck. She probably hates me now. I've made her life hell. I've physically abused her. What's going to happen if she rejects me? I can't deal with that. It's too much."

"Apologize, Quinn. I know it's not your style, but do it anyway. It'll mean the world to her, and just take her by the hand and kiss her. If you have some secret spot *cough* the park *cough* take her there and get her to believe you. I know you can do it. You're Quinn Fabray! Queen of this school. You can do it. And you know what? I can guaranty that you will still have your rep. No one will mess with you and Berry, me and Santana will make sure of that. I promise. Now go get her."

Quinn looked at Puck before she headed towards the door. Exiting the classroom, she spotted Rachel at the end of the hallway. Her brow furrowed when she saw that Karofsky was harassing her about something. Without wasting another second, she marched over to the two and said, in her best HBIC voice, "Drop something Dave?"

Both of the teens looked up and saw her standing there; hands on her hips and looking fierce, even with her broken nose. "What?" He asked confused.

"Your balls, they're on the floor." She smirked.

"Whatever, Fabray. I need to show Berry here some moves, so just keep on walking."

Quinn looked over at Rachel and saw that she was scared of what was going to happen if Quinn didn't get him to back off. But in her brown eyes, she could guess that Quinn wasn't going to help her; that she was just going to let him to it. But Quinn wasn't going to let anything happen to her anymore.

Tearing her gaze from Rachel, she looked back at Karofsky. "I don't take orders, but I suggest you leave before I beat the hell out of you…" She threatened. Without another glance, Karofsky took off in the opposite direction. Sighing, she turned to look at Rachel and reached out to put her hand on her shoulder. The girl instantly flinched away.

Rachel looked into her eyes and saw something that confused her. There was love in those fierce green eyes. Of course it was a trick to manipulate her then use it against her again. "No," Rachel said. "I don't believe you, Quinn. I used to until the other day. When you broke my heart into pieces."

Shaking her head, she said, "Rachel, please, can we talk?"

"No. I think you've done enough, Quinn. I will not have you use my feelings against me anymore. It hurts too much to have you pretend that you cared, then just throw it back into my face. So no thank you, I don't know if I can trust you anymore. I can't trust you."

"Rachel. Please, let me-"

"Apologize? Explain? Its too late for that Quinn."

"I don't accept that."

"You don't have to. You don't get a say in any of this anymore… All I wanted was to be your friend. And that kiss just happened. And after everything that had happened between then and now, I won't let you treat me like that anymore."

"Rachel, please, I'm sorry. Please, if you have any feelings for me still at all, you will meet me at the park tonight. Just give me a minute. That's all I ask, and if you still don't want me around, I'll leave you alone." Rachel nodded, then Quinn walked away.
