Pink Doesn't Taste That Great Chapter 8
QPOV
"Start explaining." I said sitting on a bench next to Mike.
He chuckled "Hello to you too Quinn, what do you want to know?"
"How is you are working for Tony? How long have you been working for him? Why haven't I ever heard of this before? Why doesn't he trust me to protect her and myself?"
"Wow Fabray inquisitive much?" I scoffed as his smartass comment
"Come on Mike we been friends for a while. How could I not know this?"
"Okay it's like this. I don't work for Tony. He's family and no I'm not saying how we're related. I've been through the same type of training you all have been since I was 14 apart from the past two summers. That's the one I met Tina and this last one. When you guys started hanging out – Yes I am one of the few people who know you guys aren't actually dating – I was to keep an eye on you; by the way those skanks you hang out with, I know you've been keeping it from T; but Quinn you really should stay away from them.
T does believe you can take care of yourself and Rachel but with the turf war he prefers it if you didn't have to, I'm not here to run your life but in order for me to protect you I'll need to know where you are. Now that I answered all your questions I have some for you."
As I thought about all the things he said to me my mind went into overdrive.
"Quinn?"
"Yeah Mike ask me anything." I said
"I have love for Tony but why didn't you stay away when you realize what he did and why drag Berry into it?"
I took a breath letting it out slowly.
"I wasn't thinking, I know it was way too late for myself but being the selfish bitch I am I dragged her into this without thinking and now the possibility that I may have put her in danger is killing me. In the short time we been friends I managed to care more for her than most things including my own life I don't know what I would do if something happened to her it'd be my fault." Mike put his hand around my shoulder and pulled me into him.
"It'll be okay Quinn, I got your back as well hers."
"That's not the worst part Mike. I told her about Tony. He wants to meet her. So I told her, what if she hates me now, it would be easier for her to hate me and I deserve to be hated but I just accepted her into my life something I should've done a long time ago and now I could lose her for good."
Mike scoffed and looked me in the eye.
"Tell me something Quinn, how long have you known Rachel Berry?"
"A long time why?"
"Have you ever once heard her say she hated anyone or anything?"
"No but-"
"No buts Fabray give her time she'll come around. Look I gotta go meet Tina. Go home."
As he stood a thought came to my mind and I sprung into action.
"Hey Mike, I want to go see someone first."
"Where are you going exactly?" He asked
I explained to him where I was going well part of it anyway. He nodded in agreement.
"I agree you need to make up with her but don't expect her to be so welcoming." He replied
"I know; but I'll do anything to keep Rachel safe and in order for me to do that I'll have to have to do this."
"Fine, you text me when you get there, when you leave and when you get home, any deviations and I'll call Skye." He said
"Yeah like Skye ever scared me." I said rolling my eyebrows
"You really haven't met Skye, trust me." He said walking me to my car.
"Fine, go have fun with Tina."
"I always do."
This part is in third person
Quinn got out of the car nervously walking to the front door. Rachel saw when the car pulled into the driving and ran down to the door, her nerves were in overdrive and she felt so many different things. Nervousness went through both girls as Quinn ran the doorbell. Hearing the doorbell Rachel opened the door.
"Hey." Quinn said
"Hey." Rachel replied
"Can I come in?" Quinn asked
"Come on in." Rachel said replying as she moved out of the way.
"Are you ready to tell me why you were so angry today?" Finn asked stepping into the Berry house as Rachel closed the door.
"What are you doing here Quinn?" Santana asked stepping outside closing the door behind her.
RPOV
I walked Finn into the living room, thankful my dads hadn't gotten home from work as yet.
"Finn we need to talk." I said
"Look Rach if it's something I did I'm sorry. We can work it out can't we?" I thought back to an hour earlier and about all Quinn told me. I was doing the right thing; the less people associated with me the better.
"Look Finn I really must apologize for today. I shouldn't take my anger out on you or anyone else for that matter. I was having a horrible day and I kinda snapped."
Finn breathed out a breath of air he had been holding.
"So you aren't breaking up with me?" He asked.
Well damn I thought as I swallowed thickly.
"The thing is Finn I haven't been feeling that connection with you for a while. I realized that there is so much about me that I still need to work out and being in a relationship isn't helping me with that change. I'm so sorry I wish it could be different." I took his face in my hand and kissed him. Like the other kisses as of late I felt nothing.
"I could tell we were growing apart. I should've let you go a long time ago Rach, but I couldn't. I didn't want to lose you."
Tears fell from my eyes and he pulled me into him, the realization that what I said as 100% true and not just because of what Quinn told me crash down on me as I cried.
"Can we still be friends?" he asked
"We'll always be friends Finn, no matter what."
"I should go." He whispered.
I nodded and walked him to the door standing there until his car pulled then ran to my bedroom burying my head under my pillow as my emotions took over me.
QPOV
"I'm here because I want to apologize." Santana folded her arms.
"B is on her way over here, make it quick." She said with scary look on her face..
I stood there unsure of where to start.
"Seriously Q, if you're gonna say something, now would be a good time."
"When Beth was born I realized I wasn't ready to be the mother she needed. Puck taking her from me was the worst day of my life but the best for her; I'm lost San, I've been lost for so long and I don't know if I can ever fully find my way back."
All these tears constantly fell down my face was starting to get quite annoying.
"Q-"
"No San, it's too late for me, but I trust you because what I'm about to ask you to do, what I need you to do for me will not be easy." Santana stepped forward with an expressionless face.
Slap! Her hand connected with my face. I smiled knowing that was one of the many things she could've done to me in this moment.
"You're an asshole." She said simply.
I nodded knowing not say anything unless I wanted to get slapped again.
"You're an ass Quinn Fabray and I love you like a sister that'll never change but forgiving you isn't going to be that easy. That stuff you said really hurt Brittany and I and you made her cry, you know how I feel about you two crying and it pissed me off that you were the one to do that to her. If you want my forgiveness you need hers first."
"I know San and I will talk to her but I really need your help."
Santana raised her eyebrow
"You know I'll do anything for you especially if it's changing your hair back to blonde."
"I need you to look for Rachel for me."
"Except for that."
"San hear me out. I feel like I lost everything and sure you and B tried to get me back but Rachel never gave up. She eased her way into my life and wouldn't quit until I gave in. We got into a fight today and I no idea if she'll still be my friend; but she's the reason I want to better, the reason I want to be more than I was before."
Santana's eyes opened wide.
"Oh my god, you're serious." She smirked and I nodded.
"Wait hold up, are you the reason she's been acting like a cunt all day?"
"I assume I am yes."
"She's really mad at you, I don't know how but you better fix that shit."
"Will you help me or not?" I asked as Brittany turned her engine off smiling brightly.
"Quinn!" She ran up to me hugging me tightly
"Can't breathe B."
"I'm sorry, what are you doing here?" She asked standing by Santana
"I wanted to apologize to you both. I shouldn't have said the things I did and you didn't deserve it."
Brittany smiled from ear to ear.
"It's cool, we're gravy."
"Yeah Q we are the Unholy Trinity after all, can't have that without you."
I smiled at them both getting scared when Brittany started bouncing and clapping her hands.
"Can we dye your hair back blonde now?" She asked excitedly.
"Maybe tomorrow after school B." Santana replied.
"Yeah I gotta go home now anyways, you guys have a great night." I turned walking to my car.
"Hey Quinn." Santana called out "I got your back."
"I don't know what you're talking about but I got your back too Quinnie, always."
"Thanks guys, you're the best."
I made my way to the kitchen where I heard my mom.
"Mom can we talk?"
She sat at the kitchen table with a glass of wine and the newspaper. Closing the newspaper she looked up at me and motioned for me to go ahead.
"I know things haven't been easy on you and that's my fault I'm sorry. I've been going through quite a number of things I am not going to discuss but I want you to know I'm sorry about the attitude and getting suspended and all of it. I'll do better I promise just please forgive me."
"I know what it's like to be a teenager Quinnie and I know get that you needed to blow off some steam or whatever but I'm glad you're coming to your senses and I haven't exactly made it all easy on you either but we can both try harder to do better. What do you think?" She asked
"That sounds perfect mom."
The doorbell and I offered to get since I was the one standing. Walking over to the door I sent Mike my last text and opened the door.
"Hey." I said
"Hey Quinn, can we talked?" Rachel asked shakily
"Sure, come in. Hey mom this is Rachel. We're going to be in my room."
"Nice to meet you Mrs. Fabray."
"You too dear."
To say I was shocked was understatement of the year. I led her to my room opening the door for her. She walked in looking around running her hand along my dresser.
"You kept it." She whispered
I walked up to her to see the picture of the glee girls in New York.
"Oh yeah, At first I kept as a reminder of what I thought ruined my life; but now I'm realizing it's a reminder of everything I need to get back to, everything I wished I didn't let go, everything I lost."
She turned to face me; I turned towards my bed and took my guitar from where I left it.
"You wanted to talk?" I asked nervously
"I broke up with Finn."
Patting the spot on the bed next to me I put the guitar on the floor as she took a seat.
"Are you alright? Do I have to kick his ass?" I asked
She shrugged then shook her head
"No no hurting of anyone."
"I was kidding Rach." I said chuckling
"We weren't happy for a while and after your confession you gave me the incentive to do what was inevitable."
"Rachel, I'm so sorry."
Shaking her head she brushed it off.
"I still need time to let it all wrap around my brain but I meant what I said. I'm your friend and that'll never change."
I pulled her into a tight hug.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much Rach."
She pulled away smiling widely.
"So since I'm your friend I think it's only right to tell you. Take a shower you stink."
I had so much fun writing this chapter I don't know why exactly but I love this chapter for some reason.
