Rumor Has It / Someone Like You Chapter 25

QPOV

I stood outside the Berry door waiting patiently for it to be opened. Something was up with Rachel and I had no idea what it was. It started the day we discussed colleges and she became cold and distant and I couldn't figure out why. I asked her what I did but she shrugged me off.

"Quinn, how are you?" Hiram asked opening the door for me.

"I'm fine, how are you doing?" I asked walking over the threshold.

"I'm really glad to see you, maybe you could tell my husband and I why our daughter has been so gloom as of late. At first I thought it was that time of the month, but now I'm not so sure" he said leading me to the living room.

I took a seat away from him and played with the fabric on the couch.

"Is she home?" I asked not 100% willing to divulge the fact that I myself had no idea why she's been acting this way lately. He said something about her, Brittany and Nationals but my mind was elsewhere.

We changed the subject to our days and other mundane bits and pieces while I waited for her to come home. When Hiram started mentioning dinner we headed to the kitchen where I started to help him. Rachel came in some time after, said hi and went to her room without so much as a word to either of us other than the obvious.

"Well…go talk to her because I'm getting a little tired of having doors slammed in my house. If you don't know why she's so angry then you two need to talk and trust me when I say taking no for an answer is not an option because if I have to get the family therapist she is going to talk to someone" he said chopping his cilantro leaves. I sighed and washed my hands before heading up the stairs.

The door was cracked open and she sat on her bed with her feet pulled close to her chest. I closed the door behind me and stood there.

"What did I do?" I asked not daring to move.

She looked at me with an exasperated look. "What makes you think its something you did?" she asked

"Rach, you're angry about something and I don't know what it is, you've shut me out long enough and I gave you space because I figured you would talk to me when you want to but it has been a week and nothing"

"I'm fine" she lied

"Bullshit" I said raising my voice slightly, "you made a freshman cry this morning. Do you know that?" I asked remembering the look on the girl's face when Rachel said what she said.

Rachel looked at me like she was about to laugh. She simply stood and walked over to me pushing me against the door. I gasped audibly and attempted to pull away when she kissed me. Her right hand sneaked under the hem of my shirt and her left hand went to my hips. The running shorts I wore to their house making it easier for me to stop her.

"Rachel stop this" I said ripping her hands away from me.

"What is your problem Quinn?" she asked staring at me in annoyance.

"Despite the fact that we haven't said more than five words to each other in three days, you're acting angry at the world and being a total bitch to everyone, your friends included and you won't tell me or anyone what's wrong? Talk to me Rach because I want to help you but I can't if you keep whatever is fucking with your head bottled up" I shouted getting more than frustrated.

Rachel scoffed and looked away. I walked up behind her and turned her to face me. I kissed her with all the passion I could muster and pulled away.

"I love you Rachel Berry, but I'm done" I said letting her go. I turned to the door when she stopped me.

"What do you mean done?" she whispered.

I turned to face her struggling to keep the tears away. "I mean I can't stay here and watch you tear yourself apart and not know why you're doing it or how I can help. I want to help; I want to be here for you. That's what people do in relationships but what you're doing is destroying us, it's destroying me and I can't let you be the destructive force in my life. I'm here for you when you need to talk but I can't continue like this" I said opening the door then closing it quickly before I could say anything else or take back what I said. I passed Leroy as he opened the door not greeting him but sure he could see the tears falling from my eyes.

"Quinn what's wrong? Quinn?" he asked concerned as I entered my car and drove off.

Hours passed and I refused to talk to my fathers, finally leaving home when they wouldn't give me my space. I think I may have caused Quinn and I to break up all because I was being selfish and I knew no way I tried to tell her would make sense. I sat in the choir room alone, watching the last of the setting sun through the window.

I stared at the last seat Quinn had been in, right next to me; even though I wasn't speaking to her she sat next to me in a contented state. I had to make things right if I could.

Footsteps approaching the choir room alerted me that I wasn't alone.

"Rach you in here?" Noah asked showing his head through the door.

"Right here Noah. What do you want? I wasn't expecting company and I –"

"Rach, you need to come with me" he said. I could barely see his demeanor in the now dark room, until he turned the light on. I stood walking towards him.

"Noah what is it?" I asked

"Its Quinn. She was in an accident" he whispered rushing to hold onto me as I fell to my knees.

"God no" I whispered praying that the last words we said to each other weren't us breaking up.

It's short but this story was never meant to have long chapters. No worries Quinn will live...that much I'll say.

More to come soon.
