Blow to the Ego
Rachel's newly opened eyes clung unto the female chest before them. She rolls onto her back freeing the blonde girl's left side. The brunette stretches slightly trying to clear her head from last nights indulgence. Rachel jerks her head quickly back towards the presence she feels leaving her side. Her companion's back is to her as the blonde sits on the edge of the bed.
"Where are you going?" Rachel says groggily as she begins to push through the fog.
"Home." Quinn says softly as she pushes herself of the bed.
"Why?" Rachel asks without a thought.
"Last night wasn't easy for me Rachel, I know you were drunk-"
Quinn turns to Rachel who has crept to to sit at the edge of the bed.
"I love you." Rachel blurts out before Quinn finishes.
"Because I'm here, what happens later when you see Finn or Carli or or..." Quinn's voice breaks as she speaks. Rachel hops off the bed and takes the blondes hands into her own.
"Finn will always be important to me and I'll always want what's best for him." Rachel says awkwardly trying to find the right words as Quinn's eyes fall to the floor. Rachel takes her right hand and raises Quinn's face to look into her own.
"As long as it doesn't include me. See I'm absolutely smitten with this girl and she means the world to me."
"When do I get to meet her." Quinn asks as pink rushes up her cheek.
"I used to believe that I just wanted to be her, you know, have the things that she did. She was and still is the most beautiful woman in the world and as I got to know her I found that despite her fears and insecurities she challenged the world. Brave and so amazingly strong. How could someone like that, ever love me." Rachel begins to ramble as her emotions begin to flood over her.
"You're special, oh so special, how could anyone not love you." Quinn moves her head to Rachel's ear and whispers softly. Quinn wraps her arms around the brunette and kisses her on the forehead.
"I'm going to tell him today." Rachel declares.
"So umm, can I tell him we're together?" Rachel hangs the question in the air
Santana wakes up feeling soft breathes on her neck. She smiles softly remembering the previous night.
Brittany stalks towards Santana with lust filled eyes. Santana sits on the mattress waiting or the dancer to get closer. Brittany tackles the Latina assaulting her lips. Santana would usually like this kind of thing but something seems off about her lover. "Britt, slow down." Santana whispers feeling the girl begin biting her neck too roughly. Santana gasps in pain instead of pleasure pushing the blonde away. Santana looks up to see the blondes tears roll down her cheeks.
"Britt Britt. What's wrong?" Santana sits up wrapping Brittany in her lap.
"Am I not pretty enough? Why did you kiss her? I thought you loved me." Brittany sobs into the shorter girls chest. Santana sits their flabbergasted at the other girls words.
"You are everything I ever wanted babe, I kissed her because of the stupid spin the bottle game. I didn't want too." Santana kisses the top of the girls head soothing her softly.
"But I thought you wanted her and Elise they are both pretty and I'm stu-"
"Brittany Susan Pierce. Do not finish that sentence or the unicorns in the world will die" Santana watches as the girls eyes turn to horror and zips her mouth burrowing her head into the girls chest again.
"I'm sorry I ruined tonight." Brittany pouts as the Latina lays them both down on the bed.
"You didn't Britt Britt." Santana whispers feeling the blonde curl in as close as possible. Santana grabs a blanket covering the two and listen to her breathing until she is completely asleep then follows suit.
Santana smiles broadly as thoughts of last night fill her head. Santana draws circles on the sleeping girls back not wanting to wait another minute to see those beautiful blue eyes. The blonde girl smiles not wanting it to stop. She sighs happily before burrowing her face deeper into the other girl. Santana chuckles pausing her movements.
"Why did you stop?" Brittany whines sleep still evident in her voice. Santana smiles watching the girls face form into a pout.
"Sannnnnn" Brittany draws out hiding her face in the blanket after feeling Santana's gaze.
"Your adorable." Santana chuckles moving the blanket and making Brittany look at her. The dancers cheeks turn a tint of red and she smiles showing her teeth. Santana leans down kissing her softly before putting their foreheads together.
"I love you."
"I love you too. "
Rachel fidgets with her hands as she waits for Finn at a table at Perked. Carli already took her drink order so she was now left alone with her thoughts and fears about what she needed to do. This will be easy just be honest with yourself and tell him how you feel. As if that was ever easy he's not going to like what I have to tell him. It's not that I'm still in love, I just don't want to hurt him.
"This seat taken?" Finn's deep voice breaks through her inner nods towards the seat to her left. Finn smiles brightly and takes the seat.
"So are you okay?" Finn asks with concern.
Rachel nods softly. "I need to talk to you about some complicated things. I know I always been a diva and that this is hard for me to say but I just need you to give me time to explain" Rachel rambles.
"Rachel, I'm always going to be here for you. Just tell me what's going on, I'm here to listen." Finn says softly.
"I'm not in love with you anymore Finn." Rachel begins to cry softly because of the guilt.
"O-o-okay. Hey it's fine don't cry." Finn says slightly taken aback. "Tell me what's going on."
"I think I'm in love with someone else. "Rachel gasps out loud. "I think I always have been I just never realized until this very moment"
"Wait, what, who?" Finn rambles quickly confusing crossing his brow.
"It's Q- it doesn't even matter Finn. It's just I moved on and I'm sorry if you don't appreciate that but I think I could finally be happy with them." Rachel beats herself up for not telling him the person she is in love with is the one who been tormenting her in high school.
"I'm not going anywhere. I can't just give up. I worked hard to get here." Finn says standing up. "I've got some things to think about, but I'm not going anywhere. I'm not going to let you go without a fight." Finn storms away talking to himself.
Brittany watches Joel curiously as he brings out a bag from the room he's been staying.
"What's going on, leaving us already." Brittany asks frowning.
"Sam is probably going to be moving back in sometime soon. Figured I'd get my stuff together." Joel says softly looking over his bags. The front door opens and Quinn walks in seeing the scene unfold.
"Aww, I'm going to miss you Joel." Quinn says as she walks over to him and gives him a hug.
"It's not like I'm going far ladies. Although it was nice to wake up to you guys in the kitchen every morning. I'll miss you're beautiful faces." Joel says smoothly before sticking his tongue out at the girls. Brittany jumps up off the breakfast bar excitedly and begins to set everyone in position as she holds her phone out arm length away. The two blonde girls squeeze they're faces tightly against Joel's cheeks and Brittany snaps a photo, then again and one more time. Brittany skips back over to the breakfast bar typing out something on her phone and takes a seat. The other two people's cell phones ring alerts just before Brittany places her phone on the table.
"Now you'll have a picture of our beautiful faces wherever you go." Brittany smiles feeling victorious. Quinn heads over to the other blonde and kisses her on the cheek before heading off to her room.
"So this could be the last meal I make for you, what would you like?" Joel asks as he heads over to the kitchen. Joel begins pulling pans out and setting up the stove.
"Hmm, Bacon, toast and those sweet eggs you make. You should teach Sam to make those they're a nice change." Brittany says thinking about possible breakfasts. Joel smiles as he pulls the bacon and eggs out of the fridge and grabs some spices and a bowl from the cabinet. A knock comes from the door and Brittany glides over to answer it. Sam stands before her a backpack slung over his back and his guitar in his arms.
"Hey," Sam says still unsure about everything.
"Welcome home." Brittany says opening the door for him. "We're having a going away breakfast for Joel, join us." Brittany orders the young man. Sam nods and heads to take his stuff to his room.
Joel places a plate in front of Brittany who begins to dig in as Sam and Quinn both come out of their rooms. "How do you want your eggs cooked?" Joel asks as he breaks some eggs and drops the insides onto a pan."
"Same as Britt." Quinn says taking a seat next to her.
"Uh, scrambled is fine with me." Sam says sitting down at the table. Sam looks around awkwadly as he tries to think of something to say. "So um how are things with Rachel?" finally pops out of his mouth. He shakes his head at himself wishing things would just go back to the way they were.
"You drove her home last night, right?" Joel pipes in trying to lend a hand.
"Yeah, um, last night was rough, but this morning made it worth it." Quinn responds hesitantly. The other three people all seem to perk their ears towards her hanging on her every word and urging her to continue. "Nope these lips are sealed until she's spoken to Finn." Quinn informs the threesome.
"What's she telling Finn?" Joel asks slyly as he begins to break up the eggs with a spatula.
"Is she going to tell him that she's still into you?" Brittany jumps in before Quinn responds.
"Oh we need to do a cover of that song." Sam's mind becomes sidetracked.
"She's going to tell him she's in love with someone else." Quinn says shyly. "Sh-sh-she asked if we were together. I-I-I told her let's just get through today before we start talking about that."
"Ugh." Joel, Sam and Brittany sigh in united frustration.
A few hours have past and it's been uneventful for the shorter blonde. Brittany ran off with Santana and Sam and Joel went to play some video games with puck. Quinn denied the offer and choose to just stay at home and read her book. Quinn lies across the couch with her legs bent and the book resting against them with her reading glasses. Quinn engrossed by her book jumps when she hears someone firmly knock on the throws her book in frustration on the table as she stomps towards the door. She cracks the door open peeking through at Finn.
"What are you doing here?" Quinn asks carefully at the freakishly tall boy.
"I need to ask you about something." Finn says sadly. Quinn looks at the boy pitifully and opens the door letting him adventure in.
"What do you want?" Quinn says hardly.
"Has Rachel been seeing anyone?" Finn asks
"Off and on?" Quinn says looking away from the boy.
"Who is he?" Finn stats angrily. Quinn ignores the boy and heads over to the kitchen where she starts the tea.
"Doesn't matter who it is its just going to make you angry. " she calmly says.
"Your my friend also I just want help to know who it is so i can tell them to stay away from my future wife. " he replies sternly. Quinn sucks her lips into her mouth looking down subtly.
"You use to be a part of her happiness but you left her and she found this person to become her new happiness, if she wanted you to know who it is she would have told you. " the blonde shrugs not hiding her feelings.
"I didn't really giver her the chance." He looks away guilty.
"So you left her again?" She looks at him stupidly.
"Yes." He meets her eyes understanding the dumbness of his actions.
The door swings open with a shorter brunette ranting the two look towards the door barely able To understand her sentences.
"Quinn I tried to tell him that I want to be with you I really did I'm sorry but he ran off so quick I couldn't get it out. Please babe don't be mad I wasn't trying to do it on purpose but as soon as he heard that there was some one I wanted to be with besides him he stormed off so please forgive me. Oh yay you made tea!" Rachel looks around mouth falls open as she sees Finn starring at her shocked and anger are the emotions that flash across his face.
"He knows now" Quinn cocks her head to the side.
"How could you I thought you were my friend." Finn turns towards the shorter girl with anger.
"I couldn't help falling in love with her. I love her. You can't help who you fall in love with. I want her to be my girlfriend." The blonde stats not backing down from the taller boy.
"But why does it have to be my girl. I confided in you and I even asked you to help me get her back. Was that all a lie? Where you just making fun of me. " Finn stats getting closer to the blonde.
"She-she- she isn't your girl." Quinn stutters before gaining her confidence. "You pushed her away and I never agreed to help you. " anger now boiling within the two.
"Hello?" Brittany walks into the apartment with a Latina by her side. "The door was open so I really hope you and the hobbit has some clothes on. " Santana says shielding her eyes as Brittany drags her inside behind her. The taller blonde rushes to the crying girl and Santana stands by Quinn slightly in front of her to protect her from Finn.
"What the hell is going on here?" Santana looks at the two upset people.
"Look I know it's confusing but I love her and that's not going to change. " Quinn states matter of factly.
"This is so messed up and you just betrayed me as my friend you couldn't just let me be happy you had to take the only thing I ever cared about. " Finn shouts in her face.
"Easy there tiger. Look we might not be in Ohio but I will go all Lima heights on your ass if you don't come the hell down and back up before I ends you. " Santana says snarky.
"When you told me that if I forced her to go to New York I would lose her and you meant to you. " Finn takes a step back the anger draining and just sorrow is replaced. Finn walks away. "Thanks for the update." He says before leaving
"Finn come on don't be like" Quinn tries to follow but is stopped by a hand resting on her shoulder. The two lock eyes as Santana shakes her head.
"He just needs to clear his head." The Latina says.
Finn, Sam, Puck, and Joel sit at the bar at Lyrical Madness as Finn recounts his discovery. Puck begins to shake his head in confusion.
"Quinn and Rachel, what no." Puck mumbles. Finn throws his arms up the air
"I know right, they hated each other." Finn sighs. Sam starts to giggle slightly and shakes his head.
"It's kinda hard to imagine." Sam chortles.
"I mean are all of you guys blind." Joel shrugs.
"I thought you and Quinn-" Puck starts before Joel cuts him off.
"No, I told you, we are just friends." Joel annouciates clearly.
"Wow." Sam says still perplexed.
"You know it's kinda sad." Puck tells the other guys solemnly.
"What?" Finn says burying his forehead into his hand.
"Like a massive blow to our collective ego." Puck says as Joel rolls his eyes. "All our female friends enjoy banging each other more then they enjoy banging us." A rueful laugh slips across the table
No hate against Finn!
