So first off I want to thank everyone for all the support it means so much to see so many people take an interest in this story, y'all have just blown me away, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter but first I wanted to answer a few questions
Question # 1… Is there a reason why they called Rachel o all people? Just curious.- Well if you look in the beginning of Chapter two Rachel mentions that the doctor told her they couldn't get a hold of anyone else
Question #2 Did everything from the show until Finn's death happen? Even Quinn's accident? Because, if so, she is really lucky with cars lol- Yes this is somewhat canon so everything up until Finn's death happened, and I agree Quinn is lucky maybe she has a guardian angel looking after here
Anyway enough with the talking here's the newest chapter of Without You I hope you guys enjoy it
Chapter 3: Sleeping Beauty
Rachel's POV
As I walk into Quinn's room I'm shocked by what I see Quinn's small frame is still the tanned glowing perfection I still remember from years ago. Her soft blonde hair still just as beautiful except now it lays in long gentle curls just below her shoulder blades, even with the various bruises and scrapes lining her soft skin I can't help but smile.
She is no longer the cute young girl that I had a crush on all those years ago. Now she is the beautiful woman that has captured my heart and soul. I walk over to her bedside trying to fight away my tears. I take a seat in the small white chair beside her bed and gently take her hand in mine. My heart leaping inside my chest at the feeling of Q's hand resting gently in mine.
"It's going to be ok Quinn I'm here now, and I'm never leaving you again." I whisper softly moving one of the soft blonde curls from her face a tear gently running down my cheek. As I look at the soft peaceful expression on her face, reminding me so much of the story of Sleeping Beauty my Dad's used to read me as a little girl.
I start to blush slightly at the thought of leaning forward and softly kissing her thinking maybe if I kiss her just once she'll wake up and will be magically healed then we'll run away and live happily ever after together. But I just sigh softly this isn't a fairy tale its real life. And those things just don't happen in the real world no matter how much we want them to.
I start to hum softly leaning back in my chair as a I gently rub the back of Quinn's hand with my thumb. When suddenly I feel a slight movement in Quinn's hand nearly causing me to jump out of my chair. A soft groan escapes her lips but it's not a groan of pain but a groan of pleasure and pure happiness. I smile happily as her eyes gently start to open her soft hazel eyes gazing sleepily at me.
"Rachel?" She says my name sliding of her tongue softly I can feel the hair on the back of my neck stand straight up at the sound of her delicate voice. I try to stifle back the red blush fighting to appear in my cheeks "Q, how do you remember my name, the doctor said you have memory lose." I say gently squeezing her hand.
Her mouth forms a gentle smile as she blinks trying to wipe the sleep from her eyes with her other hand "I'm not sure, I just remember your name and that we have some sort of deep connection." Quinn says her voice low and gentle as she looks down at our intertwined fingers. I can't help but grin as a scream of pure joy echoes inside my head.
"Well I'm glad you remember sweetheart I was so worried about you." I say gently brush away a few stray golden locks before leaning in and kissing her softly. Now I know what you're thinking it's wrong to convince a girl with amnesia that you're her girlfriend. But the truth is that I love Quinn with all my heart. And she must have some feelings for me too since I'm the only person she remembers right now but I digress.
Quinn kisses me back gently placing her free hand on my cheek I feel myself melting into the kiss smiling softly at just how right this feels me and Quinn. Why didn't I see this before, was it because I was so worried about my success that I never saw what was right in front of me? Or was it the fact I was projecting all my feelings for Quinn onto poor Finn? Either way I can't stop smiling I feel as if I'm in heaven and I never want to leave.
I break the kiss after a few minutes both of us breathing heavily trying to recover from the long kiss we had just shared. "So…your…my...girlfriend?" Quinn asks her hazel eyes shimmering in the dim lighting as she tries to catch her breathe "That's right, we've been together since High School." I say smiling softly technically we were in Glee together so it's kind of a half-truth.
"Oh I guess that sounds sort of familiar…." Quinn doesn't have a chance to finish her sentence as theirs a light tap at the door "Come in!" I call out happily turning to face the door as it gently opens revealing Dr. Millard. "How's my favorite patient doing?" He asks smiling softly at us as he makes his way into the room "I'm ok, other than the fact that this cast is super itchy." Quinn says as I watch her stretch in vein trying to reach under her cast to scratch her ankle
"Let me get that for you honey." I say smiling softly as I lean forward and gently reach my hand inside scratching her ankle.
The sound of Quinn sighing in pleasure makes me blush again the same intimate thoughts from earlier starting to enter my head once again.
"Well if you don't mind I'd like to speak to your friend Ms. Berry for a minute." He says placing his hand gently on my shoulder. I can see Quinn's face schurching up in fear at the thought of me leaving the room "Alright, just don't take too long." She says gently running her hand through her soft golden locks.
"I promise I'll be right back." I say getting up and kissing her forehead the sound of the happy giggle escaping her lips making melt just a little as I follow Dr. Millard out of the room.
"So I just wanted to let you know will be alright to be released with you tomorrow, but she will need special round the clock care until she is fully healed." He says softly leaning against the wall looking at me with a serious expression etched on his face
"I promise I'll take good care of her, is there anything else I should know?" I ask wanting to get a better idea of what I was dealing with so I could game plan a little better
"Well we did some evaluations and she has lost her memory on how to write so she will have to be retaught, but once she starts writing again it should come back to her.." He says smiling reassuringly at me
"Well I promise I'll start working with her on that immediately once we get back to New York." I say smiling as my mind drifts of thinking of all the fun Quinn and I are going to have in New York together "Um.. Ms. Berry I'm afraid that New York is out of the question right now the added stress of all the traffic and noise could make the memory recovery process even longer."
"Oh well then I can always take her back to Lima it's a small town in Ohio we both grew up their, it should be small enough that she won't have to worry about any added stress." I say smiling softly although I can't stop wondering about the possibility that we might end up running into one of our old Glee friends which will make for a very uncomfortable reunion.
Not to mention the fact I will have to explain my actions and the idea that Q has now of us being a couple "Well that sounds like the perfect plan, now let's go back in and check on the young lady, I'm sure she's getting anxious without you." He says smiling softly as he opens the door and we reenter the room
I sigh softly 'I really hope that we don't run into any of our old friends' I think to myself before all those thoughts fade away and I smile at the large excited grin on Quinn's face as I reenter the room sitting down beside her 'Maybe Lima won't be so bad after all' I think gently kissing Quinn's hand as I lay it gently in my lap
