Disclaimer: I do not own Glee again and I don't own the songs used in this story.

A/N 1: Sorry for this chapter. I hope you like it. It's a little angsty but I'll make it up on the next chapter. Promise! This is not edited well because I got excited to post it, so sorry. Thank you for reading. Review are much appreciated.

A/N 2: A little Santana in this. I like Santana's character. I love how Naya portrays her on the show. She makes the viewers feel like there is something more to her than being a bitch. I kinda wish the show do something with her.

Chapter Four.

Rachel was sitting on the floor in her room, doing her homework on the table. Santana walked inside Rachel's room without even knocking. Rachel looked up and removed her earphones.

"Can I sit here?"Santana said looking at the couch. Rachel laughed."What so funny, Berry?"

"Santana Lopez, asking for permission? That's a first."Rachel laughed again. "and this is your house. You can sit wherever you want to."

"I just thought you wouldn't want to spend time with me."Santana said sitting on the couch, touching the hem of her shirt. Rachel stopped laughing and looked at Santana.

"Hey. Don't say that. I love hanging out with you, Britt and Qui-"She stopped herself and shook her head.

"You two need to talk."

"I don't even know what happened Santana."

"Are you that oblivious Rachel?"Rachel smiled at her."What? Why are you smiling like that?"

"You called me Rachel."

"Don't smile at me like that and don't get use to it. It's never gonna happen again."

Rachel just shook her head. "I don't know what happened to Quinn. Everything was okay with us then she suddenly just started avoiding me."

"I'll try to talk to her."Santana said and Rachel just smiled at her again."Will you please stop looking at me like that?"

Rachel laughed again. "You're on a roll today, Santana. First you ask permission to sit on the couch, second, you called me by my given name and now, your offering to help me?"

"I said I'll talk to her. Who said anything about helping you?"Rachel rolled her eyes. Santana's phone rang and she opened the text message. "I have to go, I'm meeting Britt. Want to come?"

"No. I'm fine. I have too much homework."Rachel said pointing at the papers in front of her.

"Okay."

"Have fun and thanks Santana!"
Santana looked back and smiled at Rachel. Rachel smiled back.


The next day.

Santana saw Quinn sitting alone on the empty Cheerios locker room. She thought that it was the perfect opportunity to talk to her.

"What's wrong with you, Q?"Santana already know the answer to this but she wants to hear it from her.

"What are you talking about San?"

"Don't play dumb with me Fabray. We both know that you know what I'm talking about."

Quinn looked at the Latina."If I tell you this, you promise not to tell anyone?"

"Of course, Q."She was already prepared on hearing this.

"Even Britt."Quinn continued.

"You know I can't lie to B."

"Well, I can't tell you what it is."Quinn zipped her Cheerios bag and was about to leave when Santana caught her arm and pulled her back to the bench.

"Fine. I will not tell Brittany."It will be hard for her to not tell Brittany and she was sure she will probably slip and tell Brittany anyway but she needs to help Quinn now and that was the only thing in her mind.

Quinn sighed. She doesn't know how she's going to say it. She doesn't even know why she wants to tell Santana but she trusts her and she knows that she will not judge her.

"IthinkIkindalikeRachel." Quinn said in one breath.

"Wait what? Can you please say that again?"

"I said, I think I kinda like Rachel."

Santana laughed. Quinn gave Santana her best HBIC glare."That was it? You were not talking to Rachel because of that? "

"Well, actually it was because the two meat heads are drooling over her."Quinn shrugged the memory of the two boys smitten over to Rachel. She always sees the two boys talking to Rachel. During Glee practice she finds ways to not look at the three. She always distracts herself by drawing in her notebook or writing stuffs.

"Am I hearing this right? Quinn Fabray? Jealous?"Santana said smirking.

"I'm glad I'm entertaining you Santana."

"If you like her, why won't you just tell her?"

"You know it's not that easy San."

"Actually it is, just look at me and Britt. You just have to remove that stick shoved up your ass, Q and quit being a coward "

"You and Britt are different. You have known each other since you were babies."

"Why does that matter? I don't think the length of time you have known a person does not exactly measure the amount of love you have for that person."

Quinn stared at Santana and started laughing. She was laughing so hard she was practically rolling on the floor. "Oh my fucking gosh! Are you really Santana Lopez? Who are you and what have you done with the bitch?"

"She's still here and if you won't stop laughing, she might introduce you to her fist."Santana said glaring at the laughing blond.

Quinn laughed some more and finally stopped and sat back on the bench."I'm sorry San. I just didn't expect hearing those kind of words from you."

"Don't even think of telling that to anyone, Fabray. You wouldn't want to see what I'm capable of doing. "

Quinn held up her hands in defense."Don't worry, San. You're secret is safe with me."Quinn giggled a bit.

"So what are you planning on doing with Rachel?"Quinn stopped laughing and turned to Santana.

"I don't know San. I can't be around her. I may not be able to control myself. Wait."Quinn laughed again."Did you just call her Rachel?"

Santana rolled her eyes."Dammit, Fabray. Can you just please be serious for a second? "

Quinn looked at her, she was now really serious."I don't know what to do."

"Listen to me, Fabray. I'm only going to say this once. What you are going to do is get that fucking stick out of your ass and you are going to serenade her or whatever romantic shit you know and you will make her fucking fall for you. What the hell happened to Quinn Fucking Fabray, Head Bitch in Charge? You can do this, Q."

"You 're right."

"Of course I am. So I'm going to leave you to plan your little romantic shit."Santana got up. She was about to open the door.

"Thanks San."

"Don't mention it. I mean really. Don't ever!"

Quinn laughed."Don't worry San. I'm good at keeping secrets."

Quinn was left in the locker room thinking of what she really wants to do. She likes her but she was too afraid that Rachel will not feel the same way. Quinn is not really good with rejections. She was use to being admired and loved. She tried to be perfect at everything so that she won't fail.

What if she doesn't like me? Does she even like girls? Oh my gosh! Does this mean I'm gay? Why am I only thinking this now? I don't think I can live if she rejects me. Dammit!


Two days have passed and Quinn was still avoiding Rachel.

Quinn was standing in her locker when it suddenly slammed shut.

"What the hell, S!"

"Did you forget what we talked about Quinn?"

"I know. I'm just not prepared yet."

"Well, you should move faster because last I heard Hudson is going on a date with Berry on Saturday."

"What?"Quinn felt like her blood was going up her head.

That is when they saw Finn talking to Rachel in front of her locker. Finn got Rachel's books and she smiled and thanked him.

"I already told you what you need to do. If you don't do anything soon, Hudson will probably have her. Are you prepared to see that, Q?"

Quinn left Santana standing alone. She was furious. She needs to do something. She needs to woo Rachel. She needs to tell her what she feels about her.

It was Friday so it means there is Glee practice. Quinn has been practicing the song because she knows that the time will come that she will be prepared enough to sing it to Rachel.

*Flashback*

2 weeks after Quinn and Rachel met.

"What's wrong with what I wear?"

"Seriously? Have you seen yourself in the mirror?"

"That's mean, Quinn."Rachel pouted.

"Well, if being mean is what it takes for you to not wear that." She said pointing at Rachel's owl sweater. "then I'll do it."

"But I don't have anything else to wear and this sweater is pretty comfortable."

"I'm pretty sure there are many outfits that you can feel comfortable with and far more stylish than that. Let's go."Quinn held Rachel's hand. She smiled at herself.

"Where are we going?"

"We are going to buy you decent clothes."

Lima Mall.

"Come on. Try this on."Quinn said as she gave Rachel some shirt.

Rachel tried the shirts on and Quinn just stayed outside of the fitting room.

"Quinn, can you come inside? I think it's stuck."

Quinn went inside the room and she laughed a little because the dress was stuck and Rachel's arms were raised up and she was trying to remove the dress. Quinn looked at her and saw Rachel's body, she absentmindedly licked her lips. So this was what she is hiding under those sweaters.

"Quinn, are you going to help me or not?"

"Sorry."Quinn helped her remove the shirt. Quinn was trying to look on the wall, on the floor, the ceiling, she was looking everywhere except at Rachel. This is torture. She thought.

After a few hours and many different stores, they have bought enough for Rachel.

"Quinn, I promise you. I'll pay you for all of these."Rachel said lifting the bags in her hand.

"No, Rachel. Don't worry. It's fine. Think of it as a welcome gift."

Rachel smiled at her."Thanks Quinn."

"So what do you want to do?"

"I'm hungry."

"I know a place where they serve vegan pizza, if you want to go there."

"How did you know that I was vegan?"Rachel said raising an eyebrow.

"Uhm. You might have mentioned it. Yeah. I think that's it."The truth was Quinn was observing her. She always sees Rachel eat salad, fruits but she have never seen her eat meat so her conclusion was that Rachel was vegan.

Rachel just smiled and nodded.

They have been eating their pizza for almost an hour.

"Is Jersey different from Ohio?"

"Yeah. I guess."

"Do you miss your friends?"

"No one is really there to miss."

"You didn't have friends there?" Quinn asked.

Rachel sighed."I have my best friend. He was the only one who understands me."

"Best friend? Right."Quinn smiled at Rachel. She was hiding the hurt that she felt.

"What does that supposed to mean?"

"Is that like a code for 'boyfriend that I left back home'?"

"No. He is really my best friend. Nothing more."Rachel shivered from the thought."That's just gross."

"So no boyfriends? Girlfriends? Anything?"

Rachel just shook her head. Quinn smiled. She doesn't know why but that just made her happy. Her heart was jumping with joy.

"How 'bout you?"

"None."Quinn said as she shook her head.

"Really? You're like the most popular girl in school and you're beautiful. I don't believe that you're single."

Quinn felt her world stopped because Rachel just said that she was beautiful. She smiled so hard. Her heart was beating so fast.

They talked for hours. They felt like they have known each other for so long.

Choir room.

They spent their practice polishing their songs for Sectionals.

Mr. Shue clapped his hands to catch everyone's attention."So guys, before we go, one of our group members asked me if she can sing today and perform for all of you. So, Quinn, please." Mr. Shue said as he gestured her to go in front.

Quinn stood from her chair and everyone was surprised. They didn't know what was happening.

Quinn sat on the bench beside the piano. She has learned how to play the piano since she was four. It was something that she was always proud of because her sister doesn't know how to play. It pleased her to know that there is something that she can do that her sister can't.

When she first saw Rachel, it was on the parking lot and the brunette was singing an unfamiliar song to Quinn. At first she thought that it was from a musical because when they became friends Rachel would always talk about musicals and Barbra Streisand but one time the blonde was listening to the radio in her car and she heard the song. She searched for the lyrics and immediately tried to learn to play the song on the piano.

"First, I wanted to tell all of you that I want to sing this song to one person and I'll just let the song speak for itself. To you, you already know who you are. Please listen."Quinn said as she looked at the brunette and turned to the piano and started playing the intro of the song.

You're stuck on me
and my laughing eyes
I can't pretend though
I try to hide, I like you
I like you.

I think I felt my heart skip a beat
I'm standing here and I can hardly breathe, you got me, yeah
You got me.

The way you take my hand is just so sweet
And that crooked smile of yours
it knocks me off my feet

Oh, I just can't get enough
How much do I need to fill me up
It feels so good it must be love
It's everything that I've been dreaming of.
I give up. I give in. I let go. Let's begin.
Cause no matter what I do,
Oh (oh) my heart is filled with you.

Quinn stood from the piano and Brad took her place. She stood in front of the choir room. Everyone was looking at her. Nobody actually knows what the song meant except for two people. The Latina was just smiling and shaking her head. The brunette was staring at her.

I can't imagine what it'd be like
Livin each day in this life, without you.
Without you.

One look from you I know you understand
This mess we're in
you know is just so out of hand.

Oh, I just can't get enough
How much do I need to fill me up
It feels so good it must be love
It's everything that I've been dreaming of.
I give up. I give in. I let go. Let's begin.
Cause no matter what I do,
Oh (oh) my heart is filled with you.

Quinn's heart was beating fast. She was telling everything that she is feeling through the song. She knows Rachel is listening. She was looking at her. Quinn's heart was smiling so hard.

I hope we always feel this way
I know we will
and in my heart I know that
you'll always stay

Oh, I just can't get enough
How much do I need to fill me up
It feels so good it must be love
I give up. I give in. I let go. Let's begin.
Cause no matter what I do
Oh, I just can't get enough
How much do I need to fill me up
It feels so good it musIt's everything that I've been dreaming of.t be love
I give up. I give in. I let go. Let's begin.
Cause no matter what I do,
Oh (oh) my heart is filled with you.

Oh (oh)
You got me. You got me.
Oh (oh)
You got me. You got me.

She finished the song. Tears are now starting to fall from her eyes. The room was filled with round of applause. They didn't know what was happening but she sounded really good.

"Thank you, Quinn. That was amazing. Guys, that is all for today. See you on Monday."

Everyone left the room except for Quinn and Rachel. Quinn was sitting on the piano bench and Rachel was still sitting in her chair.

Santana walked towards Quinn before she left."Good luck."She whispered and tapped her back. Quinn smiled and whispered a thank you then Brittany gave her a hug.

After the two left, Quinn stood from the bench and went to forward to Rachel.

"You like me?"Rachel asked looking at the blond."That was the reason why you were avoiding me?"

"I'm sorry, Rach. It's just. I was scared and I got jealous of Puck and Finn. I know I don't have the right to-"

Quinn's rambling was cut with soft lips on her own. Their kiss was slow and gentle. Quinn felt like her was heart smiling but suddenly Rachel pulled away.

"I can't do this. I'm sorry Quinn." Rachel got up and left Quinn alone in an empty choir room.

Quinn sat on the floor and tears are now falling from her eyes. She didn't know that it would hurt that much. She feels like her heart was going to explode. She sat on the floor crying for hours. Then, suddenly, two hands where helping her get up.

"I'm going to kill her." The Latina said and Brittany wrapped her arms around her.

Sorry for ending this here. I promise the next chapter will be better.
