Hey guys! New chapter.
This is mostly Rachel's P.O.V., and it happens right after the bathroom scene.
Feel free to let me know how you feel about this chapter by reviewing or something :)
Enjoy!
Quinn was running as fast as she could, without looking back. Her thigh was hurting really bad but she couldn't stay at school, she needed to leave. When she got to her car, she locked all the doors and laid down on her backseat. She was crying every tear she had in her body, pulling her hair out and pinching herself really hard. She needed to physically feel the pain, she needed to hurt herself, it was the only control she still had over her life. Like a drug addict looking for their dope, she went through her bag to grab anything that could hurt her. She had left her blade in the bathroom so she only had a pair of scissors left, but it was enough. She wasn't thinking about what she was doing, she just knew she needed to do it. She started cutting her inner thigh as bad as she could, getting her towel to keep the blood from leaving stains on the seats. She had stopped crying, simply enjoying the feeling of the pain she was causing to herself. It was such a relief.
When she decided she had cut herself enough she just laid there, closed her eyes and let her mind fly away from her body as she fell asleep.
Rachel was left alone in the bathroom after Quinn had ran out. She was still shocked by the kiss and how much she had enjoyed it, but she was also worried the cheerleader was going to hurt herself again. Quickly, she cleaned the bathroom floor before going out of the room to look for the head Cheerio in the hallways. She was literally running around, opening every janitor closet she could find, and creeping at every classroom but the blonde was nowhere to be found.
The diva was freaking out, she took her phone out of her pocket and dialed Quinn's number. The phone was ringing, but no one was picking up. After kissing her, Quinn might be mad at herself or something, Rachel thought. But she still had to find her before something really bad could happen. She looked at her phone, wishing she had more friends, and even though she knew he was going to be in class she called Kurt.
"-Rachel? This better be important because I just left my calculus class to answer...
-Kurt! Oh my god please come here. Quinn, she's... She's not safe at all... Come!
-What happened? I can't just come over there if I don't know the situation..."
Rachel was still running around, talking to Kurt at the same time. The only reason why she wasn't losing her breath right now was because she was a talented and experimented performer and it was helping her a lot.
"-She was in the bathroom cutting, it was so bad, there was blood on the floor and she had been crying... Then I threatened her to tell everybody so she go to the hospital and she pushed me and kissed me. Kurt she ran out of the bathroom and I don't know where she is, I've been looking everywhere!
-Call the Glee Club to help you find her. I'm scared that I will be too late.
-I can't Kurt! What if... She's gonna hate me.
-Do you really care about her? If yes go get the Glee Club right now and ask them to help you!
-Okay... Okay I will. Thanks Kurt. I love you."
She hung up and stopped running a second to catch her breath. Mr. Shuester. Yes! Mr. Shuester, even if he sometimes tried really hard to crash the diva's ambitions and ruin her career, he understood a lot of things and would for sure help her a lot. So she started running towards his class and banged on the door. When Mr. Shuester opened it, interrupting his class, Rachel said:
"-Quinn is in danger Mr. Shue, you have to help me find her or something really bad might happened to her.. I...
-Wait Rachel, slow down, what happened?
-I saw her cutting in the bathroom, she ran away. I don't know where she is but she hurt herself pretty bad."
Mr. Shuester hesitated a second before telling his class to work on an exercise that will be graded and followed Rachel in the hallways.
"-I looked everywhere and I can't find her...
-Is her car still in the parking lot?"
Rachel looked at her teacher, she hadn't thought about this, and Shuester got the answer to his question simply by seeing Rachel's expression. They both started running towards the parking lot as fast as they could, well as fast as the tiny girl could. As soon as they could see Quinn's car they slowed down.
"-Where is she...
-I have no idea. Rachel do you want me to call 911? They could find her...
-No... Not yet."
The diva kept walking towards Quinn's car, looking around to see if she could get some clues of where the cheerleader was hiding. When she got next to the car she looked inside and saw the Cheerio immobile on her backseat. And she got even more worried.
"-Mr Shue! I found her!"
She tried to open the doors but they were all locked. So she started knocking on the windows to see if Quinn would somehow react. And after a few seconds she did, opening her eyes slowly and looking at Rachel, she seemed confused. Mr. Shuester was standing on the opposite side of the car, watching the scene.
"-Quinn please open the door!"
Rachel started feeling tears on her cheeks as she could start to see cuts on the Cheerio's thighs. She hated herself for letting Quinn ignore her, she hated herself for kissing her in the first place, she felt as if she could give anything she had just to see the cheerleader feel better again. The diva was crying, still hitting the car's windows and asking Quinn to unlock the doors. The cheerleader was looking at her with no expression on her face, but ended up opening one of the doors to let the diva in the car.
"-Girls, I'm gonna go back to my class now, but Quinn you will have to come see me at the end of the day and I will make you see Mrs Pillsbury at least twice a week from now on."
Quinn nodded and sat down, staring at her feet as Rachel was taking place next to her before she closed the door.
"-Please don't run away again Quinn. You have no idea of how much you scared me, I've been looking for you everywhere, I was so scared I didn't know what to do..."
Quinn stayed silent, which was making Rachel even more nervous and the only way she could get all this stress out of her body was to talk to the cheerleader.
"-I'll do whatever it takes to make you happy Quinn. I don't care if you ignored me for two weeks or if you used to bully me, I just want you happy, that's all I'm asking for.
-Why."
Rachel opened her mouth, just to close it again. This question was just making her feel angry and she didn't want to keep yelling at the broken Cheerio. She just put her hand on Quinn's face to make her look at her as she said, lowering her voice,
"-You are beautiful Quinn, in every way, inside and out. When you saw that I was feeling bad, you came up to me and gave me the most amazing friendship I had ever experienced, you were the only one to care about me enough to come over my house almost everyday after school and spend hours cuddling with me while watching movies you disliked... You are the best friend I've ever had.
-Best friends don't kiss, do they? Why did you kiss me Berry."
Rachel's heart was aching, First, she didn't to admit that she was in love with Quinn and then she had just called her by her last name, which meant she really wasn't ready to be friends with her again...
"-I... I don't know. Santana and Brittany kiss all the time, what's wrong with that?
-They're in love.
-How do you know?
-Santana talks in her sleep."
Quinn was stabbing Rachel with her eyes, and the diva felt threatened. Yes Quinn had kissed her in the bathroom, but the brunette thought that it was best if she jumped over that episode since she was in an emotional breakdown at the time. Instead, she was thinking of telling the cheerleader about the first kiss they had shared, the one during which she was asleep and obviously couldn't remember.
"-There's something I never told you, I think because I was scared I was going to lose you..."
She looked at Quinn, thinking about taking her hand but she knew the Cheerio was going to reject her. So instead, she just whipped the tears out of her face, breathed in, and said:
"-At our first sleepover. You were asleep in my arms and I moved to go get you pajamas and everything and...
-And what? Did you like raped me in my sleep? Are you that creepy ManHands?
-You asked me not to leave you. And when I came back you told me you loved me and you kissed me. You wouldn't let go... It's not my fault I swear Quinn I'm sorry.
-Why would you lie like this?"
Quinn started yelling. But Rachel could see that she wasn't yelling at her since she started crying again. The Cheerio was breaking down like the brunette had never seen her and it was making her feel terrible as well. Without thinking about what she was doing, she just took Quinn in her arms, just like she used to every night. The Cheerio let the tiny arms get wrapped around her and grabbed one of the brunette's hands to put it in her hair which made Rachel smile. The cheerleader was still crying, but she started to calm down after a few minutes in the diva's arms.
"-I'm sorry Quinn, about the kiss and everything. We can just be friends pretending it never happened okay?"
As much as this was breaking her heart, Rachel knew she would have to give up on her romantic feelings for the cheerleader if she wanted to be friends with her and help her get better. At this point she was confused if whether or not the Cheerio was sharing those feelings but she was definitely confused and needed time to figure everything out. And Rachel was ready to wait forever if she had to.
Here you go, I hope you liked it
