A/N: Okay firstly on the cookie issue, I remembered that I'm probably the worst cook in the world, so much so that my little sister is giving me tutorials so that I survive in University. So instead I've got you guys another extra long chapter and an early update, which i thought you'd prefer. Love all the responses so much, makes me smile so much when i get a review! Lot's more Faberry here, the girls are getting closer and closer every day!
Thanks to Superflyse for all the help, really this would be terrible without her help. Any mistakes are mine and I've tried to spot my English vocabulary but I'm sorry if you see some!
Chapter Six: Counting on Quinn
Quinn was stood at her locker when she received a message from Kurt, ordering her to the choir room. Before she headed off, she took a moment to open her locker and take out her notepad, the one she'd been careful not to forget when she was kicked out from her home. Inside there was the small calendar of events, her finger slid down the page, passing over all the titles with a star sticker by their side until she found the most recent one.
The yearbook photo, I forgot all about that.
But how could she forget, when previously she'd been the one to convince Sylvester to give them the page. It should have been one of the things at the top of her list, since it had made Rachel so happy last time it was a must to repeat it. So, she entered the meeting with a plan in her head, all she needed was the perfect moment for it to work. She spotted Finn before the others, he was sat by himself on one of the chairs, and not standing with the rest of the gleeks around the piano.
"Hey guys." She waved as she walked over, taking up the space between Mercedes and Puck, who'd moved around to help her fit. In the corner of her eye, she noticed Finn rushing to his feet to try and jump in but the rest of the students closed the gaps and forced him out. He stood for a minute towering over most of them, he would have been able to see if he'd just stayed where he was but it was clear he wasn't wanted so he returned to his heat with a groan. That's strange...
"What time do you call this?" Kurt scolded, "I sent you that text five minutes ago."
Quinn rolled her eyes at his dramatics, "I needed something from my locker, so I was on the other side of the school."
"She's pregnant dude, she can go slow." Puck said, protective of the woman carrying his baby, "We only got here on time because you kidnapped us all after our classes."
"Right whatever," Kurt nodded so he could move on to the real reason they were all gathered there. Taking a brief moment to look around at his fellow team mates, "Rachel's not going to be here any time soon right? Anyone know where she is?"
"She stayed behind in our last class." Finn explained as he for a second time tried to involve himself with the group, barely lifting himself out of his chair when he was met with a few harsh looks and Kurt pointed back at the boys seat, snapping his fingers to hint that Finn needed to sit back down.
"Where's Rachel?" Kurt repeated.
"She's not here yet, she stayed behind in our last class." Puck answered, taking a second to look back at Finn with narrowed eyes.
"What's going on?" Quinn asked Kurt, finding amusement in the way Finn was being treated and the look of pure frustration written across his face.
The boy answered, lowering his tone so that only the people around the piano could hear, "Since we realised that if we ever stand a chance at Sectionals, we need Finn here until we find a replacement. So after coming together we decided that the best move would be to give him the silent treatment and ignore him for the best part."
"And he has no idea?" The blonde questioned.
"He does, Brittany told him." Kurt shrugged, giving the dancing blond a pointed look, "Maybe he'd figure that he's not entirely wanted, hopefully that'll be after the competition though."
"Guys can you speak up?" Finn shouted loudly, waving his arms around to catch someone's eye. He tried to come closer before but when Puck had clenched his fist he chose to put his safety first. The only reason that he was still there, was because he still hoped he could persuade Rachel into a date if he ever got a moment alone with her and not having Quinn pull her away before he got a chance to ask.
"Anyway, can everyone please be quiet." Kurt ordered, hitting his hand down on the piano top for silence, "We have a problem, this year's Thunderclap to be exact." Kurt took a deep breath, preparing for his long-winded speech, "Glee club stands on a delicate precipice, we have all felt the cold humiliation of a slushie in the face, but as of right now our relative anonymity as a club shields us from even more persecution." He shuddered at the thought, "Meaning, swirlies and patriotic wedgies."
"What's a patriotic wedgie?" Mercedes was afraid to ask, but she had to know.
"It's when they hoist you-" Finn started, but he was silenced with Artie clearing his throat.
"Ahem, It's when they hoist you up on the flag by your undies." The boy in the wheelchair commented, "Strangely it did make me feel more American."
A few people laughed lightly, only frustrating Finn more who was at this point on the brink of kicking a chair over to get someone to speak or listen to him.
"Anyway, based on my investigation," Kurt continued when there was a moment of silence, "I'm of the opinion that a yearbook photo, would only fuel the flames of anti glee club terror." He dropped a handful of different year's Thunderclaps onto the glossy surface, "I've done a little library research."
"Stop." Quinn, cut in as the well-dressed boy flipped over a few pages, knowing that if he finished his speech then she couldn't get her moment to convince them to fight for the picture, "Don't you understand?"
"What's there to understand, Juno?" Santana snapped, highly irritated that she was spending her free period in the Choir Room when she could be in the broom closet with Brittany, not that she could tell anyone that anyway.
The blonde rolled her eyes, ignoring the new head cheerleader, "That whether or not we're in the yearbook, we will still get slushied and called names. But in a few years to come, when we've left McKinley, we may not all still be friends or maybe we will, but we'll have the Thunderclap to look back and remember how New Directions brought us all together and made us a family, it gave us a place that no matter what happened outside in the halls, we could come together and belong."
Everyone's eyes were on her, they had to admit it, the girl had a good point.
"One day, we will win Nationals, I truly believe that one day we will. So, I'd like to be able to remember how we started." Quinn smiled happily and looked to Tina, "How we became friends," She turned to Puck with partly serious scowl, "how we made mistakes," And then her eyes flashed to Brittany and Santana subtly, "And how we leant to love..."
Santana felt as if her heart stop, feeling threatened by the was Quinn as looking at her, so she shuffled away from Brittany. You have to help them, Quinn. They need each other, no matter what it takes, you have to get them together.
"Dammit," Kurt whined, "she's right."
"Yeah she is... But how are we supposed to fight Figgins on his ruling?" Mercedes spoke, bringing up a good point and everyone took it in turns to shrug in reply.
Mr. Schue's arrive before anyone answered, "Oh hey guys, looking at old Thunderclaps?"
"Sort of." Kurt nodded, still wondering how they could get themselves a photo.
"Can I borrow one of these?" The teacher asked, although he had already yanked one from Kurt before he got an answer, "You know what, this years thunderclap is gonna have a glee club photo with every one of your smiling faces. You have my word on it."
One by one, the teenagers agreed hesitantly making Quinn grin widely. Everyone would've thought it was because they were getting the picture, but the only thing she was really focused on was the fact that the world was changing.
I may not have to die...
oOo
As Quinn walked around the corner, with her hands planted firmly on her hips when she spotted Rachel walking in the same direction she was headed, so she sped up and called out to her.
"Hey..." Quinn spoke softly, but as she did her memories came crashing down on her the second Rachel stopped and turned to face her with a small smile. It hit her quickly, it hit her hard. The sudden feeling that she was back living the other life, as if she'd just finished performing for Regionals all over again. She remembered how she'd barely gained enough confidence to finally tell Rachel her feelings and try to stop the wedding and then to only realise that the brunette had sung to Finn, only ever Finn.
It hurts, it hurts so much.
She was trembling and could feel herself becoming short of breath. She could feel Rachel's small hands on her shoulders, shaking her softly. Her eyes slowly wondered to see the Diva's thumbs drawing circles into her shoulder blades, trying to calm the pregnant teenager.
"Quinn, what is it? What's wrong?" Rachel rushed, bewildered to what had freaked her friend out to cause what looked like a panic attack.
"I-I need-I need to go." The blonde whimpered, pulling herself backwards and out of the other girls grip. Even though she wanted nothing more than to hold onto the future Broadway singer and never let go she needed to get out, she needed to breath and she couldn't in her presence.
"Quinn, please just tell me what's going on!" Rachel begged, reaching out for the blonde.
"Stay away, please..." Then she ran, shoving past her crush and sprinting down the hall. She ran past the bathroom, her and Rachel's bathroom and more and more memories rippled through her thoughts. From the slap at prom to handing Rachel her acceptance into Yale.
She stopped at the first empty room, slamming the door shut and her pale hands fumbled desperately to turn the latch. Gasping for breath and wheezing as she slid down the door, pulling her knees up to her chest and hugging them tightly. Her blood pounded in her ears and all she could do was stare blankly ahead of her.
A loud sob escaped, tears filling her eyes and steadily steamed down her face. She thought she'd gotten over it, but she'd tried to very hard to forget the accident and the moments leading up to it. Her life was a lie, It was better sure, but it wasn't her life and she didn't think she deserved it. She was confused beyond belief, what was this life she was living now? And why was she the one to be given that second chance.
She'd only been in the room for what felt like a few minutes, but really she'd been in there considerably longer. When there was a quiet knock on the door, she took in a shaky breath and twisted around to see through the glass. She couldn't see who it was and her worst fears told her it was Rachel and she just couldn't bear to see her yet.
"Yes?" She all but whispered.
"It's Tina, can I come in?" Quinn opened the door without a second thought, the girl had somehow become her best friend and she was one of the few people she could see trusting with her secret of the time warp.
"Okay..." She said quietly, reaching up to unlatch the lock and it push it open quickly. The Goth walked in and re-closed the door, taking a seat beside her friend, they were silent for a while before the girl spoke up.
"I just saw Rachel, she was hysterical." Tina explained, "Kurt distracted her with the news of the Yearbook, but she was still devastated... She thinks she did something to make you freak, what did she do?"
"Nothing, It wasn't her." Quinn's voice was monotone, staring straight a head of her.
"You don't have to lie to me, you know.?" When the time traveler stayed silent she continued, "I want to help you..."
"You can't, there's nothing you can do." She sniffled and swallowed the lump forming in her throat, "I'm pregnant, It was just hormones. Random crying is side effect apparently, who knew?"
"Funny," Tina giggled with her friend, "Well I'm here if you ever want to talk, whatever is bugging you, I'll be there for you."
"Thank you." Quinn said giving her a little hug from the side, "And I'll talk to Rachel at lunch, It'll give me a few hours to pull myself together."
"Now, let's go or we'll be late for our next lesson." Tina told her, standing up and offering her hand to Quinn and helped her to her feet. Fumbling with the sleeve of her cardigan, Quinn wiped her eyes with the back on her hand as she followed her room-mate into the bathroom to wash her face before heading to their lesson.
oOo
The lunch bell sounded and the hallway flooded with hungry students, eager to be first in line for their food. Quinn on the other hand headed towards the Principal's office, waiting outside and overhearing the end of the conversation.
"Oh... Fantastic, thank you so much." Rachel was put off, without any more to say she left the office and headed back out into the corridor, finding Quinn waiting for her.
"Hey Rachel." The blonde smiled weakly, "How did it go?"
"Very well," She said with a mega watt grin, "We're in the Thunderclap."
"That's great." Quinn replied, pulling her books into her chest.
"Is-Is there something you wanted to talk to me about?" Rachel said, obviously trying to hint at the earlier incident.
"Yes, do you mind walking with me to the Library?"
"I don't mind at all."
They walked in pace with one another through the school, Rachel's hands clasping together behind her back and biting down on her lip to stop herself from pushing the pregnant girl for answers. Quinn could see how nervous Rachel was and once they reached an empty set of chairs she ran through her speech one last time in her head.
"Okay," She breathed, "I just-I wanted to say that I'm sorry about earlier, for worrying you."
"Did I do something?" Rachel whispered, brushing her hands down her skirt to wipe away invisible dust.
"It had nothing to do with you," Quinn took the other girls hand into hers, playing with her fingers, "I just realised something and everything became too much."
"Are you okay now?" The brunette asked, her eyes following the movement of Quinn's thumb which moved back and forth over her knuckles.
"...I'm perfect." Quinn squeezed her hand, "I'm just perfect."
Rachel couldn't speak, her words just caught in her throat. Reveling in the feeling of Quinn linking their fingers together and shuddering at the contact. She was more than surprised that the other girl was being so open about their friendship, even more so by the affection Quinn was showing towards her. The two of them just sat together, their eyes never looking away, they couldn't because then the moment would be over and they didn't ever want it to be over.
"Um, sorry to break up this strange staring contest but I need to borrow Rachel." Kurt said awkwardly, gaining the girls attention.
"Oh-I need to go anyway." Quinn dropped the brunettes hand and got up from her seat. Walking away quickly to avoid the other two from seeing her dark blush and speed walking through the book shelves until she came across Santana and Brittany sat together on a desk, drawing in one of the yearbooks.
She slowed her steps and smiled at the pair of them, seeing the head cheerleader watching the blonde dancer from the corner of her eye. She wished there was something she could do, anything to help them Santana realise what she was missing out on sooner than the time before.
"Eyes to yourself, Preggers." The Latina remarked.
"Sorry..." Quinn grimacing at her tone and walking away. I have to help them see how much happier they'd be...
oOo
Once school was out, another Glee club meeting was called. Everyone surrounded the instruments, laughing together as Matt and Mike had a dance-off in the centre of the room. The only two people who weren't involved was Quinn and Finn.
The pregnant girl was sat in one of the chairs to the side of the drum kit, reading a book that Peter had recommended to her, called Replay by Ken Grimwood. It was yet another time travel story, but one that closely related her own situation, it was fascinating. Differently, Finn was the outcast of the group. Sat on the front row in the middle of the room, far from the other students, still suffering with his punishment. He was slumped back with his arms folded angrily, feeling left out as he was watching Rachel longingly as she walked over to the piano.
"Kurt I have a fantastic idea for a club that would officially make me the most involved student in the whole school." Rachel told him with enthusiasm, "I want to start a gaylesball.
"I'm sorry?" His jaw opened slightly, his forehead creasing with confusion.
"The Gay, Lesbian, Alliance." She explained, "The gay-lesb-all."
Quinn's head raised at the idea, thinking of how a club around the same thing would help on her conquest to get Santana out of the closet happily without getting herself hurt in the process.
Kurt just shook his head and walked away from her, leaving the other girl pouting with disappointment. It took Rachel all of thirty seconds after that to move and sit by Quinn, leaning into her shoulder so they could read her book together, making the ex-skank fill with happiness that the girl had chosen her company over others.
Note to self, talk to Rachel about the club later.
"Hey guys, I have some great news!" Mr Schue clapped upon entry, "Glee club gets a photo in the Thunderclap."
Everyone grumbled with agreement, still not 100% sure on whether they wanted to go through with it but what Quinn said had gone through so whether they wanted it or not, they knew they would regret it in years to come.
"Yep, it's going to show everyone in this school that glee club is on its way up. When we win Regionals, those Thunderclaps are going to be collector's items. I mean, all of your classmates are going to be begging for your autographs." Then his expression changed to one more upset, "But I have to compromise to do it... We only get a quarter page in the back, which means we have to pick two team captains to appear in the photo. So tomorrow, we're going to put it to a vote. Exciting huh?"
Quinn felt Rachel immediately sit up straight, looking around the room with slight panic. She needed that photo and she wouldn't stop at anything to get it. You need to go to Sylvester and get Glee their page, you have to do it for Rachel.
oOo
Later that night, Quinn want back to Tina's and the pair of them arranged to have a geek-a-thon. The two of them were able to be themselves around each other, without having to deal with what everyone else thought.
"I'm home and I bring Breadstix and boys." Tina yelled through the house, bringing Quinn out of her sleepy daze and current daydream. She'd been envisioning her future, one with Rachel by her side, one where she got her happy ending.
"Boys?" Quinn frowned, her lips tugging downwards with slight displeasure, "Why are there boys?" I want girls, particularly one girl.
"Because we're awesome." Matt jumped into the room, a grin spread across his lips. Behind him was Mike, in his arms was the food. Even though her night was supposed to be spent with Tina, she was glad to see her two other friends.
"I suppose I can allow your company." The blonde laughed, a smile appearing as she watched Tina giving Mike orders. Looks like their hitting it off...
"We've brought the popcorn, behave or you wont get any." Mike warned from the kitchen, laughing at something that the Gothic teenager had said.
"I guess I can be good then," Quinn beamed, "as long as you hurry up so we can start."
"What are we watching?" Matt looked to her, sitting down on one of the recliners and stretching out so he can put his feet up on the coffee table.
"Um, well you can put something you guys like I guess." The pregnant girl offered, feeling embarrassed to admit to what they were actually planning on seeing. The boys knew she was a bit of a geek, that was for sure but this was taking it to a whole knew level.
"No It's cool," Mike said, sitting on the opposite side of Quinn so that Tina could sit between the pair of them. "we don't mind."
"I insist." Quinn told them forcefully, her cheeks turning pink.
"Why are you so bothered?" Tina raised her eyebrow, confused by the girls unwillingness to admit their real plan for the day.
"It's rude to make them watch something they probably don't like." The girl spoke quickly.
"Tina, what were you going to watch?" Matt sat up, taking his food as Mike passed it to him.
The girl felt the intense death glare coming from Quinn but chose to ignore, "We were planning to have a Doctor Who marathon."
"Tina!" Quinn hissed, throwing a few pieces of popcorn and throwing it directly into the Goth's forehead.
"Starting from the new Doctor Who?" Mike asked excitedly, "Because I love Christopher Eccleston's, he's my favorite!"
"No way, Tennant is the best." Matt argued back, knowing full well that he'd had this conversation with his friend before and each time it ended with the pair of them ignoring each other for a few days.
"I agree with Mike." Tina blushed, seeing Matt mouth the word whipped to the other Jock who just looked the other way to avoid the awkwardness of the moment.
"Wait, you guys watch it?" Quinn was baffled, she thought that the boys would have taunted her but instead it seemed like they enjoyed watching the show as much as she did.
"Yes."
"Yeah."
"Oh," The girl bit her lip, "Well I guess in that case then, David Tennant was the greatest Doctor."
"See, I told you!" Matt cheered, leaning over the side of his chair to high-five Quinn.
"Whatever, just put the show on and we'll see who's the best." Mike shook his head, disagreeing with his friends.
I'm really starting to enjoy this second chance.
oOo
The very next day went just as Quinn presumed, with everyone coming together and nominating Rachel instantly as the Glee captain, having gone back completely on Quinn's plan since finding out that it wouldn't be a team photo.
This then created Rachel's rampage to find herself a co-captain, trying everyone until it came to Quinn, Finn and Santana remaining. Although the Head Cheerleader was completely out of the question, so she went to the blonde first in hope the girl would accept.
"Hello Quinn, may I take up a moment of your time?" She asked, biting down on her lip to stop her anxious word vomit.
"Sure, take a seat." The blonde tapped the spot beside her, "How can I help?"
"I was wondering if you'd like to be my co-captain in Glee." Rachel admitted quickly.
"You'd want me?" Quinn frowned. Last time she didn't even bother ask me, she wasn't supposed to ask me, "What about Finn?"
What are you doing? Why the hell did you ask about that idiot man child?!
"Oh I don't think he's the best person for the role after the incident involving you and the baby, he's not a good enough role model for the other members, you on the other hand were the head cheerleader and have experienced being a leader and know how to motivate peers." Rachel paused, "Sorry, I talk a lot when I'm nervous."
I make her nervous, I make her freaking nervous!
"It's okay, you're adorable when you ramble." Quinn admitted under her breath, but Rachel had heard and she was unable to stop the way her cheeks turned a light pink.
"Thank you..." Rachel whispered in reply, playing with the bottom of her skirt, "So will you?"
"...Yes." Quinn agreed, bouncing her feet on the wooden beams. Playing co-captain means more time with Rachel, which is perfect for me!"
The Tiny girl beamed and lunged at her, knocking the breath out of the blonde, they would have probably toppled over if it weren't for Quinn's strength keeping them up.
I love having her in my arms, I want to keep her forever, she's the only one for me...
The pregnant teen swallowed hard and dry, as she felt Rachel tighten her arms around her. The tiny Jewish teenager tilted her head to the side coyly, observing Quinn for a moment in her flowery baby-doll dress with a matching headband and a cardigan to perfect the look, she looked back over the blonde, holding her eyes for a second.
"Thank you..." Rachel breached out against Quinn's jaw.
"It's nothing." The ex-cheerleader responded, looking down at the girl in her arms, her eyes darting from Rachel's lips to her eyes. The pair of them knew they were in the embrace far longer than normal friends would have been, but all they could think about was how good it felt to be close to one another.
"We have approximately seventeen minutes before we're needed for the photo." Rachel informed her, unwillingly.
"We should probably go then." Quinn agreed and then a thought hit her. She could ge them the full-page photo, all it would take is a word with the cheerleading coach, "Can we go somewhere first?"
"I-if you're quick." Rachel nodded, it was becoming clear that she would do anything to please Quinn and she didn't care.
oOo
Quinn hesitated as she stood outside of the office, trying to build up her confidence to put on her old HBIC act and make Sue believe she was the same old Quinn, even without the cheerio's uniform she could still be that cold-hearted prodigy she'd said herself was somewhat proud of.
"Miss Sylvester, we need to talk." She strode into the room, making the woman stop whatever she was doing. Quinn breathed in slowly, getting into character, trying to remember the last time she'd been in this position.
"Oh I've got nothing to say to you, Preggo." The track-suited woman returned her attention to her notebook.
"You need to listen." Quinn said strongly, arching her eyebrow and maintaining that famous glare she'd perfected long ago. It was tough to not give in and walk away but when her gaze flickered to the window and to the back of Rachel's head as she waited for her she knew that she had to do this.
"Entertain me then, Q." Sue sat back in her chair, taking her glasses and moving them up to rest on the top of her head.
"Glee club are getting a full-page photo," Quinn held out her hand to stop the woman before she argued with her, "You are giving up one of the cheerio's six pages, and you are giving it to the New Directions free of charge."
"Why would you possibly think I'd be willing to do that?" The woman shook her head, wondering how the one girl she'd had hope for had turned out so stupid.
"Because it's not fair the way you treat us and... If you don't I'll get you disqualified from competition." Quinn found her momentum, rasing her hands onto her hips, I can get your amateur status revoked, all those free shoes, complimentary tanning and hair cuts!" She tried to remember the last point, taking a few seconds before it came back to her, "Those seasons ticket to Cedar Point, we sold those on eBay, for a profit." She was about to land it, all she had to do was give the woman the ultimatum, "Seems to me that if Figgins found out, you would get banned from competition."
Sue watched the girl, taking in everything just said, "Fine, you want the page? You can have it, just for that little act right there. You know Q, I'd forgotten just how ruthless you really are. You're like a young Sylvester." After what Quinn could only assume was a compliment she continued, "Now get out of my office, if you can manage to make it out of the door without your water breaking and ruining my new carpet."
With that Quinn walked through the door and walked away, her head held high until she was out of view, then her disappeared and she let out the breath she'd been holding. Wow... That was amazing!
"What happened? I heard shouting." Rachel was behind her, having followed her from the office but Quinn must have been too in the zone to notice.
"It's fine-I think I just blackmailed Sue into giving us a full-page in the yearbook." Quinn grinned, looking to Rachel to see how her grin grew impossibly larger. "Shall we go break the news to everyone?"
"Yes-No-Wait!" The brunette's smile faded, "Does that mean you're not my co-captain any more?"
"Rachel, I'm still the co-captain, we're just having a team photo instead." Quinn soothed her and watched the smile return. I love seeing her happy, I just wish I could make her see how much I wish I care about her.
oOo
As everyone filed into the class room, the very next day. Mr. Schue stood at the front of the room, unusually on time for the Glee meeting and everyone took to their seats working up from the front.
"Hey guys," The man said, weary eyed, he'd obviously had very little sleep. Quinn knew that he'd left his wife, just the dispatched look on his face said it all, she felt sorry for him but in the end of it all he was happier without Terri.
Now just to help him with Miss Pillsbury...
"But we don't want to go to Sectionals without you." Artie said sadly at the information.
The man rolled up his sleeves, "We have a picture to take today, thanks to Miss Sylvester offering us one of her cheerio's pages. I don't know why she did it but we should be grateful that's she's done so."
Rachel looked to Quinn, raising her eyebrow in question and the girl just shrugged in return. She didn't want the limelight, she wanted Rachel and that's all that mattered to her.
"So they're setting up in here, so you guys go get gussied up and be back within twenty minutes and I want to see a smile on each and every one of your faces." The spanish teacher clapped, only to then stop them from leaving, "Where's Finn guys?"
"Oh we saw him yesterday," Rachel said sadly, "The yearbook photo was gaining him some unwanted attention from Karofsky and Azizimo and basically the entire football team and he picked his side."
"He chose the cowards way out," Puck muttered, having stood up the team himself along with Matt and Mike.
"I suppose he didn't have enough incentive to stick around." Quinn added, wondering if it were treatment of the Glee Club itself that had helped with his decision to quit.
"Let's just hope it's a momentary lapse of judgement," Rachel concluded, "or I wont have a suet partner for Sectionals."
"Actually, I have an idea about that." Quinn bit her lip, wondering if it were too soon to make such a huge chance but going with it anyway. If it kept Finn away from the diva, she'd do anything.
The students split off soon after, just as Quinn stepped forwards to leave Santana grabbed her arm and pulled her backwards. Quinn knew exactly what was going to happen, Santana was about to give her the old Lima Heights Adjacent crap and so she silenced her before the girl got started, moving to whisper into the cheerio's ear.
"It's between you two, I'm not getting involved." Quinn drew a little cross over her heart as she stepped away, "I know nothing unless you want me to."
Santana hadn't really been preparing for her confrontation to go this way and so she let her leave.
I really need to help her, all I have to do now is decide on the best way to do it...
