The next day was just how Quinn planned it. She ignored Brittany like the plague. Anytime she tried to talk to her she gave her short answers. She couldn't get close to her again, not after last time. She couldn't hurt again like she did before. She just needed to be alone, closed off. Things were better without feelings. You got hurt a whole lot less without feelings.
"Quinn, can I talk to you for a moment?" She heard her older sister call for her attention.
"I guess." She mumbled.
"San and Rachel are going to be coming over later today. I just wanted to let you know." Brittany said with a soft smile.
"Whatever." She got up and left the room.
Quinn wasn't sure what was going to happen but she didn't need her sister ambushing her. She was trying to think of all the possible things that could happen with Santana coming over. It could be just them hanging out, but then why would Rachel be coming over also? Think Quinn Think, don't let your older sister out smart you. Then it hit her, Brittany was going to get Santana to talk to her and Brittany was going to talk to Rachel. They couldn't find out what was happening. Her and Rachel were going to have to outsmart their older sisters.
"Rae?" Santana called through the house. "I have to talk to you."
"What do you need San?" Rachel appeared from the kitchen.
"We're going over to Britt's later today. Probably in an hour or so, so just be ready."
"Why?" Rachel challenged.
"Because I said so that's why."
Rachel rolled her eyes and went up stairs. She didn't understand who her sister thought she was. Coming back from New York and ordering her around like she's her mother. That's not how it works. It was different when she was younger but now she's not that little kid anymore. She was almost ten.
Rachel did though try to figure out why they were going over to the Pierce's. Not that she didn't like them, it was just weird. Something Rach didn't expect.
When Rachel and Santana got to the Pierce's household Quinn instantly dragged Rachel up to her room. Rachel was quite surprised by this because her and Quinn weren't really that close, she hardly even considered then friends.
"Listen to me Lopez." Quinn spoke lowly, "I don't like to consider us friends. I only stick up for you because I know its not your fault. So don't go and use that as an excuse to call us friends, because we aren't. Do you know why your over here?" Quinn questioned Rachel.
"No not really."
"My sister is going to question you, do you understand me?" Rachel shook her head no. "She's going to ask why you've been acting differently, question your actions. You will not tell her what's happening. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yeah, I wont tell her."
"Good. Just like I wont tell your sister what's going on. They think they can outsmart us, but they can't. You have to stay strong okay? No matter what happens, don't let them get close to you. Remember what happened last time when we got close to them. They hurt us. Don't let them fool you Rachel."
Rachel nodded her head in agreement, she wasn't going to lie, Quinn made some sense to her. Quinn understood the situation better then she did, she also handled the situation better then she is. She was going to follow Quinn's every order because she knew it was the only way to keep her sister out of this situation.
The two older girls had split the younger girls up after they had lunch. Just like Quinn expected, Santana was going to question her about her recent behavior. All she had to do was stay strong and ignore her like she has been ignoring her sister for the past couple days.
"You going to sit down Quinn or you just going to stand there?" Santana teased a bit. Quinn just shrugged her shoulders, acting like she didn't care. "Come on Q, its just me. Come sit."
Rolling her eyes Quinn sat down next to the Latina. "What do you want Santana?"
"Well I haven't really gotten to talk to you in awhile. I know its my fault and stuff but I miss you. Tell me what's going on in your life." Santana asked, honestly curious about what was going on in the girls life.
"Nothing really, same old same old." Quinn said, indifferently.
Santana sighed, she realized it was going to be difficult to get the smaller blonde to open up she just hopped she wouldn't lose her temper in the process. "Quinn how long have I known you?"
"You've known me my whole life Santana, you know that." Quinn said annoyed, but really was trying to figure out where this was going.
"Exactly, I've known you your whole life. So please show me some respect and don't lie to me."
"Look Santana, I don't know what you want from me but I really have no idea where your going with this." Quinn said, examing her nails. Don't give in, Don't give in. Quinn spoke to herself in her mind.
"Why don't you tell me why you hit your class mates now?" Santana said, staring at the girl who wouldn't look at her.
"Why did you hit your classmates in high school?" Quinn questioned back, looking at her with a raised brow.
"This isn't about me Quinn. But if you want to play this game then fine, I'll play it with you. I hit people in high school because I got mad, and I didn't know how to deal with it, so I lashed out." San explained, "What's your excuse?"
Q looked at her with bewilderment. She didn't think that she would share that with her. Anytime she asked her older sister stuff about her passed she never told her. That didn't matter though, she couldn't tell Santana ever. She would get hurt in the end.
"I got mad, the girl deserved it anyway."
"What did she do to piss you off Quinn? Your usually so level headed." Santana asked, curious of what the blonde would say to her.
"She did something she shouldn't have." Quinn spoke, turning away from the older girl once again.
"You want to tell me what I was Quinn? I just want to help you, you know that don't you? Me and Brittany we're trying but we can't help fix it if you wont let us in." Santana moved closer to the blonde and turned her face towards her so they were making eye contact. "Its just me Quinnie, just talk to Sanny." Santana spoke so gently that the only thing Quinn could feel was safe.
"I…"
Brittany sat down on her bed next to Rachel. She could tell right away when she walked into the room that something was wrong with the smaller brunette. Just the way Rachel was sitting, slumped, hands on her lap, eyes down casted onto the floor this wasn't the girl she knew. This girl was broken.
"Hey Rae." Brittany said softly, not wanting to scare the girl. "How are you?"
"I'm fine, thank you for asking Brittany." Rachel said eyes looking at the floor.
"Santana's worried about you, did you know that?" Brittany asked, grabbing one of the girls hands.
"I didn't know she was worried about me. There's nothing to worry about though, I can assure you everything is under control." Remember what Quinn said, don't give in. Stay strong. Rachel thought to herself.
"What's under control Rach? What's everything?" Brittany asked, trying to get the girl to look at her.
"I don't really think that concerns you Brittany." Rachel said softly, she didn't want to come across rude. That wasn't her intentions.
"Rachel, I think that anything that is happening to you concerns you. You're my girlfriends little sister. You're my sisters friend. I love you, you're like my little sister. I care for you."
Rachel stole a quick look at the blonde, she could tell that she wasn't lying to her. She wasn't going to hurt her, that was the Brittany that she knew all those years ago. Then she remembered that, that Britt had hurt her. Things were easier without feelings.
"Me and Quinn aren't friends, she just protects me." Rachel let that last part slip out, she didn't realize it until Brittany looked puzzled upon the statement. Rachel tried to back track, "She protects me from stupid stuff you know like rude teachers. Nothing serious." She spoke to fast and B knew instantly it was a lie.
"You want to tell me the truth?" Brittany asked, tightening the grip on Rachel's hand as she tried to get up.
"I don't want to talk about this." She said franticly, she didn't want to say something else that could blow their cover. "I want to go home."
"Rachel just talk to me, I can't stop whatever's bothering you. Just be honest." Brittany pleaded with the girl. She went to move her hand to cup her face but as soon as she let go of her hand Rach bolted out of the room to the living room.
"Come on Quinn just tell me. It's just Sanny." Santana pleaded with the blonde in front of her.
"I…" Quinn was interrupted by Rachel coming into the room.
This got Quinn to shut up instantly. She almost broke her own rule. She almost gave into Santana's words. Stupid Quinn thought. She stood and put a few feet of space between her and the Latina.
"Quinn?" Santana questioned.
"Its nothing Santana." Quinn said before leaving to go to her own room.
Brittany appeared a few seconds later, questioning her girl with her eyes. They would have to talk later. "I think me and Rae are going to go Brittany." Santana stood and kissed her girl friend before grabbing her sister's hand. "I'll text you later."
Brittany nodded. They where finally getting somewhere with the two girls. This was far from over, in fact it just begun.
Hey, so I figured I should make this chapter mega long since I didn't update in awhile. So anyone have any idea where this is going? Who was shocked with why the girls are so upset. They may be having trouble now, but it's just begun. I can promise you that.
