Rumor Has It / Someone Like You Chapter 27
QPOV
"The concept of me being mad at you is totally lost on you isn't it?" I asked opening my bedroom door. Rachel rolled her eyes and entered without waiting for an invitation. She held an envelope in her hand and sat on the chair by my desk.
"What's this?" I asked looking at the envelope she held out to me. Rachel's breath hitched a little. I could tell that she was nervous but I couldn't let myself drop my walls.
"I've always wanted to be a singer; singing is who I am, or who I was. Singing was the most important thing to me for so long and I was hell bent on being on Broadway"
"What does that have – " I started before she cut me off.
"Quinn, without NYADA I don't have a stepping stone to my career, but without you I don't have a very important piece of my life" she took a breath "You got all these acceptances and I never even heard from NYADA. I got scared. Mainly because if I don't get in, what the hell am I doing in New York? I pulled away because I can't drag you down. I won't be an anchor to you and I can't let you not flourish if I fail" she said.
I ran my hand through my hair and snatched the envelope from her.
"This is what I don't get about you, how could you ever think you would drag me down? Why do you think I would go to New York without you? Jesus Christ Rach, I, love you, I pursued you remember? I wanted you and I want you. You'll be great when you get into NYADA and I'll prove it to you" I opened the envelope and read it. She waited patiently for me to tell her what it said; instead I knelt in front of her.
"They want you to audition in two weeks" I whispered taking her hand.
"Will you be there?" she asked in a shy voice. I looked at her, not sure what to reply. There were still some issues to be worked out and I wasn't in the mood to do that now.
"I can't make any promises" I said handing her the letter and going over to the bed.
"I could live with that"
RPOV
"Hey you" I said to Quinn. She stood in front of my locker, smiling with some books in hand.
"Hey. Chose a song yet?" She asked watching me put my combo in the locker. I shook my head not bothering to voice my answer. Every since she read the letter things with us weren't 100% back to normal, but at least we were talking now and things weren't as tensed.
"I have no idea what I'm going to sing yet. How was your day?" I asked as she handed me a book that she suggested to me.
She shrugged lapping one foot in front of the other, sweeping a stray lock of blonde hair away from her eyes. She looked into my locker and smiled at the little teddy bear there.
"What's he doing here?" she asked taking him out and rubbing behind his ears. She dubbed him a he, the day she won him for me on my birthday. She brought him closer to her lips, placing a kiss to his forehead and placed him back into the locker.
"I brought him here because he reminds me of that day, and how much I miss you" I said closing the locker. She hmmed and started walking a little ahead of me, leaving me a little more than confused. The distance between us was still gaping and things weren't great but god I loved that woman. I watched her gracefully diverting through the crowds and I bit my lip.
In that moment, I knew it.
I knew exactly what I was going to sing for my audition.
I ran to catch up to Quinn and poked her arm.
"Can you tell Mr. Schue I won't be to glee club? I want to take care of something" I asked
She looked at me quizzically, mainly because I have never once legitimately missed glee.
"Is everything okay?" she asked
"Everything will be fine" I said kissing her cheek before running away. "I'll call you later" I said exiting the building.
The next chapter will be longer. More to come soon. Quinn is still mad at Rachel but at least they are talking now, things are getting better between them and the next chapter should show where they go from there. Let me know what you think. Oh and I have an awesome song planned for Quinn next chapter ;)
