Rumor Has It / Someone Like You Chapter 26
QPOV
"I'm so so sorry"
Rachel said from the door. I sat in the bed and looked at her. She looked even crappier than I did and I was the one with the bruises.
She walked into my bedroom and stood by my bed. I continued to look at her but said nothing. Her tear glazed eyes shone with the glare from the fluorescent light above us. She came closer to me and I raised my eyebrow.
"Talk to me" she pleaded.
I bit my lip and looked into my lap. "Why should I?" I retorted
"Are you aware of how long I've been trying to get you to talk to me Rachel? I begged, pleaded, gave you space and you never opened up to me. You pushed me away and now because I am silent you are begging me to talk to you"
She looked at the ground and I took it as my cue to continue. I swung my feet over the bed attempting to stand. I was about to say something else when she stopped me.
"This is all my fault" she whispered.
I hopped off the bed ignoring the pain in my body.
"Don't even do that. I was… am angry at you and I left your house. When I got to the stop lights a car rear ended me that's all that happened. I'm fine, so don't blame yourself for something that you had nothing to do with. If you want to blame yourself for something blame yourself for the way we are now. You know that fucked up attitude you adopted towards me and everyone who loves you as of late. Blame yourself for that" I said walking around the other side of the bed to grab the pills the doctor gave me from my bag.
"You don't think I know I've been acting like a jerk recently. I know that but it had nothing to do with you Quinn I swear to god it didn't" she said trying to touch my hand. I pulled away from her and although it pained me to say it I replied.
"You're right, it has absolutely nothing to do with me; not anymore at least. I meant it from the time I said it Rachel I love you but I'm not going to be your punching bag anymore and this accident doesn't change anything that I said before. When you figure your shit out maybe we can talk but for now get to hell out of my house" I said taking my medication and a sip of the water on my nightstand.
"Q!" Brittany shouted as I walked into the choir room. It was my first day back since the accident and everyone was acting like I was supposed to be in a wheelchair or something. This is the 4th time for the day that I've seen Brittany, including this morning when Santana picked me up, and each time she greeted me the same way.
"Hey B" I said winking at her.
Puck came up to me and kissed my cheek. "Welcome back baby mama" he said smiling at me. He practically snatched my bag from my hand and waited until I took my seat next to Rachel to hand it back to me. I was still mad at her but fate thought it would be fun to stick the only empty seat in the room next to her so I sucked it up and took my seat.
"Welcome back Quinn" she leaned in and said to me. I nodded not meeting her eyes because it hurt way too much to have to be near her and see her and not be able to touch her.
Seriously fate was fucking with me right now.
Mr. Schue came in and we started.
"Welcome back Quinn, it has been a glum couple of days without you here but we're glad you're back" he said
"It's good to be back Mr. Schue but it really wasn't that big of an accident" I said trying to reassure them all that I was fine.
He nodded and looked at Rachel. "Okay then, lets get started. Rach" he said motioning to her. Her hand brushed my own as she made her way to the front of the room and I closed my eyes.
"This song speaks for itself. You ready?" she asked. I gritted my teeth still not opening my eyes to see who she had been talking to.
Music started playing and I recognized the song instantly.
[Rachel]
Right from the start
You were a thief
You stole my heart
And I your willing victim
I let you see the parts of me
That weren't all that pretty
And with every touch you fixed them
Now you've been talking in your sleep oh oh
Things you never say to me oh oh
Tell me that you've had enough
Of our love, our love
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
[Puck]
I'm sorry I don't understand
Where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine
([Rachel] Oh we had everything)
Your head is running wild again
My dear we still have everythin'
And it's all in your mind
([Rachel] Yeah but this is happenin')
You've been havin' real bad dreams oh oh
You used to lie so close to me oh oh
[Rachel]
There's nothing more than empty sheets
Between our love, our love
Oh our love, our love
I opened my eyes letting tears fall from my face and saw her eyes fixated on mine. She appeared to be holding her own tears in.
[Rachel and Puck]
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
I never stopped
You're still written in the scars on my heart
You're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
[Rachel]
Oh tear ducts and rust
I'll fix it for us
We're collecting dust
But our love's enough
You're holding it in
You're pouring a drink
No nothing is as bad as it seems
We'll come clean
[Rachel and Puck]
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
[Rachel]
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh oh, that we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
The entire room started clapping and I heard Sugar saying something about them doing that number for Nationals. I continued to look at Rachel and vice versa. I tightened the grip on my bag and without looking back I walked through the door.
the song was from P!nk's new album The Truth About Love the name of the song is Just Give Me A Reason by her and Nate from Fun.
It is an amazing song so check it out if you want. More to come soon and I have one question.
Do you think the way Quinn treated Rachel in this chapter is justifiable? If so why?
Lemme know what you think.
Specks :)
