That's Easy, This is Hard

Part 2


Sometime a few weeks after the last day of school…

"You enjoying your gourmet dinner?" Quinn asked, trying to romanticize their pizza outing at the mall's food court. Rachel finished chewing her vegan pizza before replying.

"We're eating pizza in the mall…"

"I was trying to be romantic." Quinn said, slightly upset that Rachel couldn't just play along.

"Oh. I'm sorry. But I am enjoying it." Rachel smiled. Quinn looked up from her pizza and her displeased expression lightened up, and a smile almost formed.

"Good. I figured you were getting tired of being cooped up in your house."

"A little. I do enjoy our Friday movie nights, though."

"I do too."

"What are we gonna watch this Friday?"

"It's your turn to pick the movie." Quinn said. The two had agreed a while back that they should take turns picking the movies after a fight broke out on whether to watch Funny Girl or The Dark Knight.

"Oh, well. What do you feel like watching?" Rachel said, slumping onto the table.

"As long as it's not really depressing I'm fine." Quinn said as she picked up her slice of pizza and took a bite.

Rachel thought for a moment, quirking around while she did so. She finally took a sip of her water and said, "I think we should watch the 1946 French version of Beauty and the Beast."

Quinn's eyes bugged out as she stared at Rachel. "You're fucking me."

"Quinn! Language please."

"You want to watch an old black and white foreign film?"

"It's romantic though!"

Quinn let out a sigh and looked away. She couldn't bear to look at the disappointed expression that sat on Rachel's face. That's when she saw Tina, Mercedes and Artie walking towards them.

"Tina, Mercedes and Artie are coming this way. We're here because we happened to meet each other here and you forced yourself upon me." Quinn rambled off quickly.

Rachel turned to the trio and then back to Quinn, before nodding sadly.

"I'll watch your damn movie if you just play along please."

"That's not necessary. I'll say I have to go to the bathroom." She said, getting up and walking past the three, saying hi and droning about something before shuffling towards the restrooms.

"Hey, Quinn. I didn't know you and Rachel were friends." Mercedes smiled.

"We aren't…I was here because my parents wanted me out of the house and she was here for some reason…she might've told me but I wasn't listening. And she didn't want to be lonely so I let her sit down with me."

Tina said, "Well she looks happy. I'm sure she appreciates it a lot."

"Yeah…" Quinn mumbled.

"So how's your summer going?" Mercedes asked.

"Fine. Nothing much's happened. Have you talked to anyone else?" she looked back and forth between the three.

"Well Mike's visiting his family in Colorado," Tina said.

"I saw Brittany and Santana getting it on here last week…" Artie mumbled off sadly.

"And Finn, Puck, Lauren and Sam have all been having marathons of Call of Duty." Mercedes finished.

Quinn nodded.

"What's Rachel been up to?"

"She's been practicing."

"As if she needs it." Tina laughed.

"She needs to practice shutting up…"

Artie, Tina and Mercedes all laughed.

Mercedes said, "Well, we're gonna get going. We're going to the movies. You wanna come?"

Quinn shook her head. "I got stuff to do. Thanks for asking."

"Okay, tell Rachel it was nice seeing her." Tina said.

"Do you really mean that?" Quinn asked.

Tina made a notion that said maybe.

As soon as the three were gone, Rachel made her way back from the restroom. She plopped down in her seat and took a drink of water.

"Thank you." Quinn said, looking down ashamed at her hands.

"Uhuh. We'll watch something else."

"Rachel…" she started, but the brunette looked up at her and interrupted her.

"No. I want you to be happy and I realize that your tastes in film are not the same as mine and that you would not be interested in a subtitled movie." Rachel tried to keep a smile on her face but it was hard.

"I'm sorry." Quinn whispered.

The rest of dinner went in silence.


"Stop the car, Quinn." Rachel commanded when they were two blocks away from Rachel's house.

"Why?"

"Stop it!" Rachel shouted.

Quinn obeyed and pulled over to the curb. She shut the car off and turned to Rachel. "What's wrong, baby?"

"I don't wanna go home." She said, almost too quiet to be heard.

"Why? Is there something with your parents or"

"I don't want to be separated from you," Rachel looked up. Tears were threatening to spill over, and in the moonlight, they shone in Rachel's eyes.

Quinn's mouth hung open. She didn't know what to say.

"Can you stay over tonight?"

Quinn dropped her head. "Rach, you know I can't…"

"Why not?" Rachel cried, "I don't get it. I just want to keep you for a night."

"It's because of my family…"

"You sleep over at Brittany's and Santana's all the time."

"It's because your family is Jewish, Rachel. Don't you see that?"

Rachel bit her bottom lip, trying to suppress anger. "I can't believe you." She hissed, opening the car door and attempting to step out. Quinn lurched forward and grabbed her arm.

"Wait just a minute! Get back in here." She yelled, gripping Rachel's arm. Rachel turned back to Quinn, looking at Quinn's hand on her arm, and then at Quinn.

Rachel walked back in the car and shut the door. "What?"

"I don't care!"

"About me."

Quinn smacked Rachel hard. So hard that Rachel's head did a 180. "Don't fucking do that! I care about you so fucking much it's not even funny."

Rachel poked at her cheek, trying not to cry. "Then why can't you come out to your parents?" she hissed back.

"Because if I did they wouldn't let me see you. Or talk to you. Or shit! And especially during the summer when we don't have school as an excuse, I can't go through with that."

"That's no reason you can't come over as a friend…"

"They won't let me, Rachel. They will not let me sleep over at your house. I'm already limited to three hour periods. I cannot do any better."

Rachel rubbed her cheek, and nodded solemnly.

"Now, come here…I'm sorry I hit you."

Rachel climbed over to Quinn's seat and straddled the girl.

"Rachel…"

"Shut up and love me." Rachel said before forcing her lips onto Quinn's and running her hands all over her body.

"Rachel." Quinn got out before the kiss. She tried to get Rachel off of her, but the two were jammed into the tiny space and there was not room for Quinn to do anything.

"Ow! You bit me!" Rachel hissed, pulling away suddenly and checking her lip.

Quinn put her hands on Rachel's head and ran them back, pushing all the hair out of the girl's face. When the hair was all pushed back, she put her hands on Rachel's hips. "You need to calm down."

"I am calm! You're the one who fucking bit me." Rachel growled, scrambling onto her own seat.

"You forced yourself onto me." Quinn quipped.

"Because you won't do it yourself."

"What is your problem?"

"You and your fucking family and cowardness!" Rachel hissed, turning away from Quinn.

"I'm not doing it to save my own ass! I'm doing it for you!"

"Bullshit! You're doing it because you're a selfish bitch!" Quinn raised her fist, about to punch Rachel when the girl curled away, covering her face with her hands. Quinn took a deep breath and grasped Rachel's arm. She yanked it, effectively pulling Rachel entirely over to her. The singer was scared shitless, and it showed in her eyes that stared up at Quinn.

"Give me a kiss." Quinn whispered. When Rachel didn't do anything, Quinn yelled, "Give me a fucking kiss!" Rachel slowly moved forward and kissed Quinn. The blonde responded very lightly, but remained holding onto Rachel's arm.

When Rachel finally pulled away it had been about a minute. She was terrified if she pulled away any sooner she would be hit again.

"Do I scare you?" Quinn whispered.

"No." Rachel responded just as quiet.

"Don't lie. I'll beat you if you lie," she paused for a moment, "Do I scare you?"

"Yes."

"I'm a monster."

"Sometimes."

Quinn laughed. "You hate me."

"Never."

"You should though."

"Yeah." Rachel laughed.

"You love me?"

"Always."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

Rachel and Quinn watched Beauty and the Beast Friday night.
