Pink Doesn't Taste That Great Chapter 6
QPOV
I heard the familiar tune playing in my mind as the familiar room came to light. I sat on a stool facing the glee club next to me was Rachel with her black and blue nose. I reached out to her but she shook her head and pointed toward the band. I caught on just in time to start singing.
[Quinn]
I wish I could tie you up in my shoes
Make you feel unpretty too
I was told I was beautiful
But what does that mean to you
Look into the mirror who's inside there
The one with the long hair
Same old me again today
[Rachel]
My outsides are cool
My insides are blue
Everytime I think I'm through
It's because of you
I've tried different ways
But it's all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
I'm just trippin'
[Quinn and Rachel]
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
You can fix your nose if he says so
You can buy all the make-up that M.A.C. can make
But if you can't look inside you
Find out who am I to
Be in a position to make me feel so damn unpretty
[Rachel]
I feel pretty
Oh so pretty
I feel pretty and witty and bright
[Rachel]
Never insecure until I met you
Now I'm being stupid
I used to be so acute to me
Just a little bit skinny
Why do I look to all these things
To keep you happy
Maybe get rid of you
And then I'll get back to me (hey)
[Quinn]
My outsides look cool
My insides are blue
Everytime I think I'm through
It's because of you
I've tried different ways
But it's all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
Keep on trippin'
[Quinn and Rachel]
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
You can fix your nose if he says so
You can buy all the make-up that M.A.C. can make
But if you can't look inside you
Find out who am I to
Be in a position to make me feel so damn unpretty
[Quinn]
I feel pretty
Oh so pretty
I feel pretty and witty and bright
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me tonight
[Quinn (Rachel)]
Oh oh oh oh oh (Tonight)
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh (Tonight)
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh (Tonight)
Oh oh oh oh oh
[Rachel (Quinn)]
I feel pretty (You can buy your hair if it won't grow)
Oh so pretty (You can fix your nose if he says so)
I feel pretty and witty and bright (You can buy all the make-up that M.A.C. can make)
But if you can't look inside you
Find out who am I to
Be in a position to make me feel so damn unpretty
I feel pretty
But unpretty
I missed this
"Quinn wake up." I was shaken awake by someone. A blurred version of Rachel kneeled over me.
"Rachel, why do you look so blurry?" I asked putting a confused look on my face as she laughed.
"You've been crying Quinn. Are you okay?" She asked relaxing into a sitting position. Sitting up in disbelief I wiped my eyes taking in the appearance of her room. Not what I expected, although I have no idea what I expected.
"Oh God I'm so sorry. This is embarrassing." I said trying to cover my face my hands.
"Don't be so dramatic Quinn, it's fine. What was your dream about?" she questioned.
I opened my mouth to answer her when a knock at the door interrupted.
"Shit." I whispered
"Rachel sweetie you awake?" One of her fathers asked
"Quick Quinn go into my bathroom." She whispered. I nodded hopping from the bed and heading into the room closing the door.
As her father spoke to her I felt my phone vibrate.
COME SEE ME PRONTO
Shit I thought to myself. I have an idea of what Tony wanted and it meant I really stepped in it.. I decided to deal with him later and concentrating the conversation between Rachel and her dad.
"What can I do for you daddy?"
"Your dad and I are going away this weekend for some quality time. Will you be okay alone or will you go stay with Mercedes?"
I pressed my ear against the door to hear her reply.
"That sounds fun daddy; but I will be staying here. I'll have a girl's night if that's okay."
"Yeah sure I'll leave some extra cash so you girls can order some pizzas; but no boys and no alcohol." He said sternly.
"Wouldn't even think of it."
"Good, oh am Rach why do you have sneakers under the windowsill?" Panic shot through me as I waited for her reply.
"It's a glee thing daddy, you see Quinn is superstitious and we all decided to try it out for the night.
There was a long silence and the door just closed.
The bathroom door swung open revealing Rachel smiling brightly.
"Hey."
"Hey."
"Can I ask you something?"
"I do believe that is a question Berry." I said walking right up to her.
She scoffed and asked her question.
"What would your mom say about you being out all night?"
I shrugged as I bypassed her walking out of the bathroom.
"I'll be honest Rach. It won't be there first time and it sure as hell won't be the last." I replied as I walked over to the bed.
She came out of the bathroom looking confused at me.
"Quinn don't you think that's dangerous? What if you get hurt? What are you doing out so late at night anyway?"
"First of all Berry take a breath damn. Secondly I thought we had an understanding that my personal life is none of your business. Why don't you stop questioning me about my life?" I huffed.
Rachel raised an eyebrow at me. "Tell me one thing then Quinn. If you life is of no concern of mine; then why the hell did you sneak into my house? See here's the thing I think you want to let me in but don't know how. So until you get your head out of your own selfish ass and decide if you really want to be my friend and let me in or not I have to get ready for school and you won't be here when I get back."
With that she turned and did her 'Rachel Berry' storm off into the bathroom slamming the door. I grabbed my shoes shoving my feet into them and made my way out the window.
What the fuck ever.
RPOV
"Hey Rach are you okay?" Finn asked walking in stride with me.
I wasn't in the mood for him or his bullshit at the moment.
"Why wouldn't I be?" I snapped
"Well for one thing you have been avoiding me for another you not too long made Jewfro cry." I scoffed waiting impatiently for this shit whole of a day to end. After that argument with Quinn I've been in a sour mood and nothing or no one helped make it better.
"Whatever, I have to go." I said ducking into the bathroom.
Present Day
"Hold on a second mama, why were you so mad at mom?" Harlem asked pulling Rachel out of the part of the story she just began.
"I asked Mama that exact question when they were telling me the story." Beth added entering the room with a plate in one hand and Liam in the other.
"Spoilers Puta." Harlem whined causing her sister to roll her eyes.
"Harlem!" Both older women scolded at the same time Beth cooed to Liam.
"Harlem is being a big drama queen isn't she boo boo?"
"Shut up." Harlem muttered
"Girls do you want your mother and I to continue this story or shall we end it right here?" Quinn asked authoritatively
"Sorry mom, mama please continue." Harlem said as Rachel shook her head.
"Anyway if you asked me back then what I was so angry about I wouldn't have been able to pinpoint it exact. Truth is you mom was becoming infuriating. I knew I was being selfish but when you think about it so was she…
23 Years Ago
"Seriously Rach, what's up with you today?" Mercedes asked
I sucked my teeth as the remainder of the glee club looked at me.
"I don't get it, all of you have you bad moods and baggage am I not allowed the same? I asked facing the piano drowning them all out.
"Well something or someone has your panties in a bunch. Finnessa what did you do?" Santana asked.
"N-Nothing, right Rach?" he timidly replied looking for an answer.
I raised my eyebrow at him and he was saved by the vest as Mr. Schue walked into the room.
"Okay guys let's get started"
QPOV
Don't see why she's so pissed it's not like I am obligated to share every single detail of my life with her and it was for her own protection. The less she knew the better. I pulled into the bar parking lot next to Tony's car, which meant he hand business today.
Walking into the otherwise empty bar I greeted Skye and walked over to Tony. Skye asked if I wanted anything to eat and I sat in the booth with Tony.
"Hey T."
"Who is she?" He asked simply taking a swig of his coffee.
"Who is who?" I stupidly asked even though I knew the answer to that question already. I thought back to the day I met him and was brought back to reality.
"Quinn are you even listening?" He asked.
"Sorry what?"
"You bring a girl to the bar of all places and make a fuss about her being your date and don't expect me to find out about it?" I chuckle, News travelled fast in this place.
"I'm not ating her T, she's a friend from school. She's vegan and I knew she would love the food in here. If I'm being honest she's the only true friend I have in that place; the only one who knows the real me."
Tony nodded silently mulling over what I said. Skye brought our breakfast and headed back to the bar. As I took a bite of my breakfast, well lunch at this hour Tony looked up at me.
"Why aren't you at school?"
"Suspended, set a piano on fire."
"Why the fuck did you do that?" I shrugged realizing I really didn't have a good reason for it and he knew that as well.
"Not that I don't love the badass Quinn it's not you; just be you babe. So when can I meet this friend of yours?"
My eyes bogged out of my head and I near choked on a piece of toast.
"Would that be wise? I don't want to put her at further harm. I wasn't thinking when I brought her here and I see the mistake in what I did; but do we really have to get her involved?"
He rested his fork on the plate looking into my face with his blue eyes.
"She seems special to you Quinn."
I raised an eyebrow
"Does she?"
He nodded. "In any case you involved her when you brought her here, especially since they were here. So therefore I think it's safe to say I deserve to meet who I'll be putting my people to protect."
I shook my head
"I can protect her T. I want to be the one to protect her."
"No deal Quinn, yes you were great this weekend in defense classes with Skye but no."
Anger filled me "Tony I can do this, you worry far too much about me. I'll be fine I promise."
He surveyed me for a minute.
"Q you have to understand if you do this you will be at risk and I can't have that, I can't let you get hurt. So here's what we're going to do. You will be the primary on protection for your friend. But someone will be there to protect you both and what he says goes. He knows you very well actually. The best way to protect her will be to spend as much time as possible with her, so if this is what you really want do what you must to make it happen. Now I want to meet her on Friday."
I let it all sink in as I looked at him disbelievingly.
"That's if she talks to me again." I whispered
"What'd you say?"
I sighed knowing telling him the truth was the best way to do this.
"We had an argument and I left before I could fix it." I explained
He took my hand into his.
"Look Quinn, if this girl is as special as you're making her out to be she will forgive you. Now go straight home and stay there until you get a text. I'll text your friend and give him his assignment so he knows who he has to look out for from now. What's your friend's name by the way?" he asked as I slid out of the booth.
"Rachel – Rachel Berry."
"I heard about her, girl's got a set of pipes. I can't wait to meet her." He said as I leaned in kissing his cheek.
"Hey T, what's the name of the guy that'll be working with us?" I asked curiously
He laughed
"Mike Chang."
