A/N: Here's the first chapter of Shattered Dreams. I really hope you enjoy it!
"Holy Crap, Are you pregnant?" Quinn asked me and my heart stopped beating. "Yes." I replied softly. I knew this ruined my life plan and not just because I wanted to go to broadway but because I love Quinn and I wanted to take her with me. "Does Finn know?" she asked and I shook my head quickly. "He doesn't know but he proposed to me." I said with in a very quiet voice. "Are you accepting the proposal?" Quinn asked her voice sounding broken. "I don't think so I don't love him Quinn." I said wanting to add that I loved her but I knew that would just ruin our friendship. "Then don't marry him Rachel, you deserve so much more than him." she said and I blinked then looked at her. "What else am I supposed to do Quinn?" I asked shaking my head. "I'll be here for you." she said and I shook my head. "As what a friend? I need more than that. Don't you think I deserve more?" I asked getting frustrated and she smiled at me as she turned to walk away and I grabbed her arm. "I'm sorry." I said softly and she nodded. "Tell me when you've made your decision." she said before turning and walking away.
I thought for the rest of the day but I knew my decision was made when she sang Never Can Say Goodbye during glee club. I knew that I loved Finn and it would be hard to forget everything we'd been through but I couldn't spend the rest of my life with him I was worth more than that and I need to tell him. I decided I would tell him after glee club no matter how painful it would be. I just had to tell him.
After glee club I caught up with Finn in the hall and pulled him aside into an empty classroom. "What's up?" he asked with his dopey smile plastered across his face. I barely looked at him before I told him what was going on. "I'm pregnant and I don't think I can marry you." I said and he gave me an angry look. "What do you mean you don't think you can marry me and how are you pregnant?" he asked and I tilted my head and said slowly, "Obviously I mean that I don't want to marry you and you obviously got me pregnant you idiot." I said before turning to storm off. "How do you expect to raise a baby by yourself?" he questioned me before I had a chance to leave the room and I sighed, to be honest I had no idea. "I don't know." I said before leaving.
As soon as I left Finn I wandered the halls trying to figure out where Quinn would be because honestly I needed to talk to her to figure out what was going on. I wandered around for a good 15 minutes before I finally found her walking out of the choir room. "Quinn." I hollered hoping she'd hear me so I'd have a chance to catch up to her. "Yeah?" she asked swinging around. "I made my choice." I said rushing up to her. "Rachel, I don't want to rush into anything." she said and my face dropped I wasn't exactly sure how I was supposed to respond to that. "What do you mean by that?" I asked her quietly. "I don't want to go into the relationship as if we've been dating for months when we haven't." she said softly and I nodded my head. "When do you think I should tell my dads I'm pregnant?" I asked and she shrugged. "I can't tell you that but I can tell you that you don't want to do what I did it's best to get it out in the open as soon as possible." she said and I nodded. "Okay." I said in agreement with her and I knew I'd be telling my dads tonight because Quinn was right the sooner I got it out in the open the better. "I'm telling them tonight." I said and she nodded. "That's a good idea." she said sincerely before turning away. "I'll see you tomorrow, Rach." she said softly before she walked away.
When I got home that night both of my dads were in the kitchen, I sighed, it was time I had to tell them I was pregnant as much as I hated the idea of it. "Could you please meet me in the living room? I need to tell you both something." I said simply avoiding eye contact with them. As I walked into the living room I re-evaluated telling them but I knew it was the right decision and if I wanted to do it I better do it fast before I changed my mind. "I'm pregnant." I said barely above a whisper but they heard me and neither of them looked like they were in a particularly good mood so I decided I'd just sneak out. As I got up to walk out my dad, Leroy, shot me a sharp look. "Where are you going?" he asked harshly and I sank back into the couch. "Nowhere." I mumbled quietly. "I think we need sometime to think this over Rachel, can you please go find somewhere else to stay for the night?" my other dad, Hiram asked.
When I got outside I thought for a minute about where I was going to go, I mean at first I thought Quinn but I figured I should wait until tomorrow, then I thought about Kurt but I didn't want to explain it to him. I didn't really feel like explaining it to any of my friends so the only person I could think of to go to would be Shelby. I thought for a moment trying to figure how I would find out where she was and then I remembered she gave me the address for her apartment complex.
When I got to her apartment she wasn't there so I sat outside her apartment patiently waiting for her to get home, silently hoping she would get home soon. After sitting there for around a half an hour she finally got home. "What are you doing here Rachel?" she asked curiously and I sighed. "Can we talk inside?" I asked her softly and she nodded. "I'll just put Beth down first." she said sweetly.
When we got inside she waited just looking at me. "Aren't you going to say something?" I asked kind of rudely. "I'm waiting for you to talk, talk when you're ready." she said and I sighed, I didn't want a repeat of what happened earlier but I wasn't sure how to approach it this time. "I'm pregnant and my dads wanted me out of the house at least for tonight." I said quietly, looking towards the ground. I looked up and softly blinked, she didn't seem to look upset but I really couldn't tell. "Do you want to talk any more about it?" she asked and I quickly shook my head. "That's okay." she said and I looked down towards the ground. "I'll show you your room so you can go to sleep. Do you want me to call your school tomorrow and tell them your sick?" she asked and I shook my head. "I'll be fine to go to school but can we talk after school tomorrow?" I asked and she smiled sweetly at me. "Sure sweetie, are you going to glee club tomorrow?" she asked and I nodded. "Okay then can you meet me in my office after glee club?" she asked me and I looked up at her. "Yes ma'am." I said politely before standing up so she could show me my room. She walked through the living room straight down the hall and opened the door to a small bedroom with a bed, a desk, and a desktop computer. The room was plain and kind of dull but right now I didn't really care. "Thanks." I said before getting in the bed and turning my phone off. "Goodnight." she said before closing the door behind her.
When I woke up the next morning I looked around and at first I didn't recognize where I was. "Hey, sweetie are you up?" I heard Shelby ask as she entered my room and I nodded. "Yeah, I just got up." I said with a yawn. "Do you remember when you asked if I wanted to stay home from school today?" I questioned cautiously not knowing if it was a real question or not. "Yeah, did you change you mind?" she asked and I nodded quickly. "Okay well what do you want to do then?" she asked, and I thought for second before I decided I'd tell her what's been going on. "I want to talk about what's been going on lately." I said quietly and she nodded at me. "You get up and get ready while I call your school." she said and I nodded as I got out of bed slowly.
When I was finally up and ready I went out to the living room and took a seat on the couch. "I'm going to start from the beginning although I might skip through some parts." I said with a sly smile on my face and she smiled back at me. "On my first day of the freshman year of high school I saw Quinn Fabray walked down the hall looking straight at me and I knew I had some sort of deep connection with her but I wasn't sure what it was. As high school progressed I became more and more fond of her but I never really saw it as a crush until the middle of Sophomore year when I realized that she was the one for me, but then she had boy swarming of her. Well, not literally. Technically it was just Finn and Puck but I still felt over jealous. When I found out she was pregnant I figured she'd stay with Finn and they'd end up getting married and I'd never have my chance with her." I paused then sighed a little. "Then last year at then end of the year at prom she slapped me. But I don't care, I think I'm in love with her." I said finishing my story and she smiled at me. "Does she make you happy?" Shelby asked sincerely and I nodded. "Yeah, she makes me really happy." I said with a smile spread across my face.
After I'd spent a whole day with Shelby talking and hanging out before I finally went back to my room. After a little while I heard a knock on the door to my room and it was Quinn. "Hi." I said softly and she smiled at me. "What's up?" I asked with a slight shrug of my shoulder and she laughed a little. "Nothing much and I can't stay for long I just wanted to see if you'd like to go out on a date tomorrow." she said sweetly biting her lip and I nodded excitedly at her. "I'd love to Quinn." I said with a smile spread across my face. "I'll pick you up at 8." she said before leaving, closing the door quietly behind her.
