Heyy sorry for the late update, I went on a small vacation and I school just started and on top of that I have to share my computer with my sister Dillion [JumpingGleeky].
THANK YOU Anna Luna for being my beta!
The kitchen was quiet exceptfor the running faucet. Rachel stood by the sink, scrubbing dishes. To her right was Quinn, who was drying the dishes. Quinn took a deep breath before putting her drying rag down on the counter.
"I'm so sorry." It was barely a whisper, but Rachel had heard it all the same. Rachel turned off the sink and turned to Quinn. Quinn could easily read the hurt, love and confusion swirling in Rachel's eyes. Shetook a step closer to Rachel and took a deep breath.
"I know," Rachel stated, walking past her and down the hall to her bedroom. Quinn stood there staring at the doorway.
"She'll come around," Santana said quietly. Quinn, startled though she was because she hadn't realized Santana was listening, didn't turn around. She stood staring at the doorway, hoping Rachel would come out talk to her.
"Rachel always forgives people, no matter what they have done to her. She's amazing like that," Santana continued, and Quinn nodded. She didn't have to turn around to know Santana was smiling lovingly. Beth came in from the backyard and walked past her mom.
"I'm going to bed, night Mama!" Beth said, kissing her cheek. She stopped in front of Quinn and looked to her mama, who gave her a faint nod.
"Night Quinn," Beth saidsoftly, giving Quinn a quick hug before sprinting up the stairs. Quinn looked over to Santana, who stood staring at the stairs where Bethhad been not even a moment ago.
Quinn always had trouble reading the Latina'seyes, so instead she said, "Sing." And that's all Santana needed.
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
And I have to sit down for a while
The feeling that I'm losing her forever
And without really entering her world
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
That funny little girl
Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Santana wiped her eyes clear of tears before turning to Quinn. "Sleep here tonight. It's raining and you walked here. Rachel would make me sleep on the couch if I let you walk home. The guest bedroom is upstairs to the right and there are pajamas in the closet," Santana said before retreating to her room. Quinn nodded faintly before heading upstairs. She saw a light on and went overto see what it was, only to hear singing. Beth was on her bed holding Andrew closely.
"What was the nightmare about?" Beth asked him. Quinn stood in the doorway, watching intently.
"You looked at me, and yousaid you were leaving to go live with Quinn because you couldn't stand to be around me. You also said that I was a horrible brother and never deserved to live," Drew cried. Beth held him close, trying to stop his crying.
"I love you so much!" Beth assured him. "There is nothing I wouldn't do for you. I hate Quinn and I would kill myself to have you as a brother," Beth continued. Drew smiled and hugged her tightly. "Do you wanna sleep here?" Beth asked. Drew nodded. Beth laydown, letting Drew cuddle into her chest.
Come stop your crying
It will be alright
Just take my hand
Hold it tight
I will protect you
From all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry
It was the first time Quinn heard Beth sing and it was obvious that she hadhadtraining. But Quinn was shocked to hear how much Beth sounded like she had at that age. Beth ran her hand through Drew's hair and continued to sing softly.
For one so small
You seem so strong
My arms will hold you
Keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here don't you cry
Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart
Always
Quinn smiled at the two kids as they both fell asleep. She thought about how Beth said she hated her and closed Beth's door quietly. I know what to do, Quinn thought simply, walking over to the guest bedroom to getsome sleep herself.
