Hey everyone. You all have been great with the alerts and reviews, so thank you so much. This is a short chapter, but I've been busy with school and keeping up with the drama ensuing from this coming Tuesday's episode of Glee. Also it's been a GREAT week for Faberry. I hope you all enjoy this little snippet. Much love to you all.

Quinn waited around for most of Sunday expecting a phone call from the Berry's. It was getting late and she was losing patience. She decided to drive over to their house. She knew it may be somewhat rude to show up unannounced, but she couldn't stop herself from wanting to see Rachel.

When Quinn pulled into the driveway, she saw two cars and lights on in the house. Although she was upset, this was considered a good sign. Before getting out of the car, Quinn took a deep breath and looked at herself in the mirror. No matter what happened tonight things would be okay.

She knocked on the door and Hiram opened, "Quinn! Hello it's so great to see you again." He welcomed the girl into the home and offered her a warm embrace. Quinn felt herself losing her composure but proceeded to question the man, "Why didn't you call?"

Hiram's smile turned into a frown, "I'm so sorry Quinn. I know we promised you that we would. Rachel was released early this morning, and I can assure you Leroy was dialing your number when the doorbell rang. I went to answer it and was met with angry Finn Hudson. He came barreling into the house demanding to speak with Rachel. Leroy and I both felt we should let the boy figure something out, so we called Rachel downstairs. They moved into the living room and he began yelling at her. He didn't so much get a sentence out before Leroy escorted him out of the house. Rachel was very upset over the altercation so we have been trying to console her all day. I should let you know she didn't forget about your visit. Through the tears she kept asking where you were. Again Leroy was just about to call when another knock came, but this time it was you."

Quinn was completely dumbfounded by the story, enraged that Finn had tried to harass Rachel and amazed that the smaller girl was asking for her. "Can I, can I go see her?" Hiram placed a smile back onto his face and gestured towards the stairs.

"Dinner will be ready in a couple hours." Quinn nodded and headed towards the diva's (was she still a diva) room. The door was slightly cracked so Quinn knocked softly and heard a 'come in' from the other side. "Hi Rachel."

"Quinn! You're here, I was beginning to think you weren't coming." Rachel had the biggest smile on her face and it melted Quinn's heart. "How are you feeling?"

"My head is feeling much better than yesterday. You can sit down." Quinn looked at the bed and then the chair placed on the other side of the room. She didn't want to be that far away from Rachel but also wasn't sure if she should invade any personal space. Quinn decided for the chair but was stopped when Rachel cleared her throat. "Come sit by me."

The blond took a seat next to Rachel and tried to conceal her smile. There was a bit of an awkward silence. Rachel could see the tension in Quinn's features, but couldn't understand why. "Quinn?"

"Yes Rach?"

A little thrown off by the nickname she paused, but then continued, "Can you tell me what happened with our friendship?" Quinn felt like she had been punched in the gut. She had been dreading this moment and hoped it wouldn't come for weeks. She was completely unprepared to answer. She gave her voice up to her feelings and began rehashing all the things she had tried to forget.

"The night of your crash we were in the auditorium and I was apologizing to you," Quinn looked into the eyes of the other girl wishing she could somehow turn her memory back on. Quinn hated everything she had every done to Rachel and now she was going to have to tell the girl it all. She didn't know what the outcome would be and if Rachel would ever want to be friends.

"What were you apologizing for?"

"Since the beginning of high school I did everything I could to ruin your life. I tortured and tormented you every day. I was too much of a coward to do it myself, so I had others take care of it. The night of the crash you had forgiven me for it all."

Quinn looked at Rachel to say something but the smaller girl just sat there silently. "I know you must hate me now. I know you probably don't think you can trust me, but I wish I could take it all back. You are the most amazing person there is and I was a fool to not let you into my life sooner. I was afraid of ruining my reputation so instead I ruined your life. I understand if you want me to leave and never come back."

"Why would I want that Quinn?" Rachel looked at the blond girl and reached for her hand, something Quinn had not been expecting at all. "You are very brave Quinn Fabray. So brave to apologize for something that has been plaguing you for years now twice. The old Rachel offered her forgiveness, what makes you think the new one wouldn't do the same?" Quinn started to respond but Rachel kept going, "The first time I saw you in the hospital I knew there was something special about you, and I am not going to just let you go like that. You have more than earned my trust for being honest and helping me get back on track. I want you to show me my life again."

Quinn's heart was now about to burst. She had no words for this remarkable girl. They continued to look at one another before they were interrupted by a call for downstairs announcing that dinner was almost ready. Rachel reached her hand to brush a piece of hair out of Quinn's face.

"You're a very pretty girl Quinn. I can see in your eyes how much you want to change this life you've been leading. I will do everything I can to help you."

"So you help me and I help you?"

Rachel smiled, "Exactly.
