Blaine and Kurt had ran up behind Rachel and slipped their hands into hers, each pulling an arm forward.
"Kurt! Blaine, wah…"
But Rachel's protests were cut off as Blaine and Kurt side stepped directly in front of her, standing shoulder to shoulder they filled Rachel's whole vision.
Blaine took the first line;
Girl I've been fooled by your smile
Kurt took the second;
I was mistaken by the way you love me
On the third the boys jumped to the side revealing Daltons Warblers who burst into song, harmonizing and weaving through Blaine and Kurt's leading voices;
We let it straight for a while, yeah
But you deceived me, you convinced me yeah
So clear to me now, can't explain what you're doing to me
I did but I don't know how
It's gon' take some time
But I'll figure it out
The warblers lead Rachel towards the auditorium, dancing around her and pulling her forward.
Why should we fight the feeling
Let's just live in the moment
Though it's infatuation
I'm good with that
Rachel's smile shone as brightly as her talent as the boys lead her through the doors, I stood in the middle of the stage in a singular spotlight. My heart thudded echoing in my ears as the boys took a background harmonizing role in the song and I took over the lead;
Cause I'm in love with the thought of you
With thought of you, with thought of you
I'm in love with the thought of you
All the things you do, with thought of you
Girl, I'm in love with the thought of you, you, you
Girl, I'm in love with the thought of you, you, you
Love with the thought of you
I watchedthrough my tear blurred vision as Rachel made her way up to the stage alone untilshe was standing in front of me.
I felt victim to your style
It's so amazing, girl you're in your own league
Rather be stuck in denial, yeah
Than tryna be without you girl
I scrutinized her devastatingly beautiful face that had never before been so close to me, her lips were stretched into a smile and her own eyes filled with tears that clung to her lashes like morning dew.
So clear to me now, can't explain what you're doing to me
I did but I don't know how
It's gon' take some time
But I'll figure it out
Why should we fight the feeling
Let's just live in the moment
Though it's infatuation
I'm good with that
Cause I'm in love with the thought of you
With thought of you, with thought of you
I'm in love with the thought of you
All the things you do, with thought of you
Girl, I'm in love with the thought of you, you, you
Girl, I'm in love with the thought of you, you, you
Girl, I'm in love with the thought of you, you, you
Girl, I'm in love with the thought of you
So clear to me now, can't explain what you're doing to me
I did but I don't know how
It's gon' take some time
But I'll figure it out
Why should we fight the feeling
Let's just live in the moment
Though it's infatuation
I'm good with that
Cause I'm in love with the thought of you
With thought of you, with thought of you
I'm in love with the thought of you
All the things you do, with thought of you
You-hoo-hoo, you-hoo-hoo
Girl, I'm in love with the thought of you, you, you
Girl, I'm in love with the thought of you
You-hoo-hoo, you-hoo-hoo
I let the song fade out into silence that hung thick with emotion, shaking with fear, love and the fact that my whole world hung on this moment I stepped forward closing the gap between us and hesitantly took her hand into my own,
"It's you Rachel, it's always been you. Rachel Berry I love you."
As I spoke I felt the blockage in my throat die didn't let the tears hinder my words and filled them with truth, with my passion.
She swept in a huge breath and I watched a series of emotions flitter across Rachel's face in the following moment, shock and then happiness and thoughtfulness that turned into bewilderment finally I watched a look of sadness enter her eyes. I felt my stomach clench.
"Quinn…"
Her voice shook and faltered,
"Quinn, you're… you are, so perfect, so… this is… shock… such a shock…. So beautiful… but… so very…"
I spoke without giving myself permission to do so,
"Rachel, don't worry. You don't have to save my feelings."
She wiped her tears and stared straight into my soul, I felt very vulnerable as though she could see every thought I'd ever had through my eyes. Still holding eye contact she brought up her hand and gently wiped my tears before kissing my nose.
"This s a lot to take in Quinn, I want you to know that I think you're beautiful, inside and out. But you see, I can't... this cant… I'm in love with Finn."
"Are you?"
Without letting myself think I crushed my lips against hers, as I felt her lips part against mine, molding them selves together feeling as much pressure from her as I was giving I felt my stomach twist and felt myself prickle right down to my toes, intensely wanting her.
Needing her.
She lifted her and up cupping my jaw, I held my hand against the small of her back, pushing her into me, wanting to feel every line of her body. As I did so I felt her begin to walk against me, pushing me back against the wall, I felt her breath run down my throat as we deepened the kiss.
After an uncountable amount of time she broke away, I watched the shock register on her face; I couldn't just let her go.
I slowly and gently brushed my swollen lips against hers, keeping our hands by our sides this time. I pulled back after a moment and watch her lean towards me, hesitate, think better of it and step back.
I watched as she suddenly burst into tears step backwards again and say
"I'm sorry"
With that she ran from the auditorium.
I slumped against the wall, my head spinning, with tears falling from my own eyes. I looked around at the empty hollow room and curled down against the floor, curling my limbs inwards and letting the sobs take me.
After a while I heard Blaine's gentle voice whisper my name I looked up into his angelic face and let him hold me. Once my sobs began to fade I let him pull me up in his arms and carry me away.
