Here's another chapter for you lovely people. Hope you all enjoy! :)

The minutes it took for Leroy to return felt like an hour to Quinn. She knew what he was going to say, but still anticipated better news.

"Quinn, you are as white as a ghost. Let me get you some water." Quinn grabbed the tall man's hand and pulled him into the seat next to her. "Please just tell me now."

Leroy exhaled and grabbed Quinn's hand. "The doctors have taken a bunch of x-rays and she will be going into surgery very soon. Judging by the images Hiram said she should be okay." Quinn had trouble finding the words.

"I..I thought..she..she..was..I thought she was de-" Leroy pulled her into a tight embrace. "Our Rachel is a shining star and would never give up so easily." Quinn tried to relax into his arms, knowing now that everything was going to be okay."It's getting late, and Rachel won't be out of surgery for at least a couple more hours. Why don't you go home and we can call you when she is able to have visitors."

Quinn could feel the sleep taking over, but she didn't feel right leaving. "I want, I want to stay." Leroy smiled and squeezed the blond's shoulder. "It's up to you sweetheart, let me see if Hiram can unlock his office for you."

She watched his retreating form once more and leaned back into her chair. Her mind was running circles around itself. She would need to calm down if she expected to keep any composure. Pulling out her phone she saw five missed calls, three new text messages, and one voicemail.

Hey HBIC, Britt & I are bored. Come over ASAP.

ANSWER YOUR PHONE.

Don't make me go all Lima Heights.

"Hey Quinnie, can you order a pizza for dinner? I'll be working late."

Setting the phone aside, she tried to calm herself down once again. While her world seemed to have stopped, everyone else's was still moving. Leroy returned, with Hiram this time, and went over to Quinn.

"Hey Quinn, Hiram's office is all set for you to stay in tonight. Come with us." With a small smile, Quinn followed the two men. She stayed behind, trying to not intrude on their hushed whispers. They stopped in front of a door that had "Dr. Berry" embellished on a gold plate. "Are you hungry Quinn? The cafeteria is right down the hall. We were just going to head down there." Quinn answered with a small nod.

The dinner was light, as no one really had an appetite. Leroy and Hiram tried to strike up small talk with Quinn, but she still couldn't find the words. "I called your mother to let her know that you were staying here, but got her voicemail. I left a message, but I can try again later if you'd like." Quinn gave a small thank you and yes.

The two older men could see how upset the small girl was. Leroy gave his husband's hand a small squeeze, getting up to go check on Rachel's progress. Hiram stayed with Quinn until she had finished eating and then silently walked her back to his office.

"I'm going to go find Leroy. Make yourself a home." With that Quinn nodded and took in her surroundings. The office was quite spacious. There was a couch off to the side that had a pillow and blanket placed at the end. The Berry men were very accommodating given their current situation. The only thing on Quinn's mind was to see Rachel. She knew the small girl was probably getting prepped for surgery and wouldn't be out until morning. Quinn decided to pull out her phone and acknowledge the one's she had been ignoring.

"Hey Sant-"

"Where the hell have you been Q? I was about to call in the Coast Guard."

"I'm at the hospital," Quinn was somewhat surprised word of Rachel's crash had no gotten around yet. "What? Why? Are you okay?"

"It's not me, it's Rach-" Quinn had to stop herself, not noticing the tears that had begun to fall. Santana stayed quiet on the other side of the phone. "I saw them carting her body away. I saw the cars. She was on the phone talking about me."

"Slow down Q. Do you want me to come get you?"

"Hiram and Leroy are letting me stay in Hiram's office tonight."

"I don't think you should be alone tonight. Let me come stay with you."

"Thanks Sant."

About fifteen minutes later Quinn heard a knock. She opened the door and fell into the arms of her best friend. "Hey it's gonna be okay Quinn. I'm here." Santana walked Quinn over to the couch and pulled her closer. "I ran into Leroy in the waiting room. I explained to him that I was going to stay with you. He was perfectly fine with it. He also mentioned that Rachel is just about done with surgery. We might get to see her tonight."

Quinn lifted her head at this statement and looked at her friend. "Re-really?" Santana nodded and sighed, "I always knew you loved her." Quinn drew back at this statement. "What are you talking about?"

"Believe me Quinn I know denial when I see it. Ever since that first day you slushied Rachel I knew you loved her. The look on your face, the hurt, it was so obvious."

"Why didn't you say anything? Why did you continue to let me hurt her?"

"I didn't let you hurt her. You choose to do it. I'm sorry Quinn. I know this must all suck so bad. But here's your second chance. Rachel didn't die tonight so you better man up and turn her world around." As much as Quinn wanted to punch Santana, she knew she was right. This was her chance to live the life she had been pushing away for so long.

"You look exhausted Quinn. Why don't you lay down and I'll wake you up when the hobb-I mean Rachel is ready for visitors."

Caving to the persistent exhaustion, Quinn feel asleep. When she awoke complete confusion took over. It wasn't until she remembered the events that had taken place did she realize it wasn't all a dream. She was still in Hiram's office with her best friend curled up beside her. She glanced at her watch and saw that it was seven in the morning. She became very nervous, wondering why she wasn't woken up to see Rachel. Gently getting up, to not awake the sleeping girl next to her, Quinn bolted out the door. She approached the front desk.

"Hi I need to know the status of a patient."

"Are you a relative Miss?"

"No but I have to see if she is out of surgery. I'm a friend of Hiram's daughter Rach-"

"Quinn? What's going on?" Leroy approached the scene from down the hallway. "Oh thank goodness. How is she? Can I see her?"

"She got out surgery late last night, but we didn't want to wake you or Santana. She is awake right now and coherent. But there's something you should know Quinn," Leroy said trying to detain the already moving girl. "I need to see her. Come on let's go!" Before Leroy could stop her Quinn had already taken off down the hallway. He took off after her, trying to stop the blond girl. "Quinn wait!"

Quinn approached the windows of the room and saw the most beautiful girl she had ever scene. Rachel was staring at the television in front of her, with bandages wrapped around her head. Quinn took a breath and opened the door.

"Hey Rachel," Quinn said with a big smile. The girl in the bed smiled back at Quinn but looked a little confused. "Hi. I'm sorry but do I know you?"

"What-what? It's me, Quinn," at that moment Leroy walked in the door. "Quinn I need to speak to you outside." Quinn kept looking at Rachel and Rachel stared back with no sign of recognition as to who these strangers were.

"Leroy, what is going on? Why doesn't she know who I am?"

He took a deep breath and said, "The crash caused serious head trauma. They almost lost her during surgery. They saved her in the only way they could. They had to remove her entire memory.
