Ok I lied. This is one of my favorite chapters to write just because it's my direct interpretation of the episode after On my way. Hope you enjoy my beautiful mind that has created the following scenes. Warning it's awesome.

She runs when he yells something she never thought he'd say. "I told Mr. Shue!" She stops frozen dead in her tracks and turns around unsure if she had heard him right.

"You what?" Her eyes glisten with tears.

"I couldn't handle the pressure anymore Rach, I couldn't. I told him everything."

"No." She laughs and punches Finn lightly in the stomach. "No that can't be you promised not to tell Finn." She steps closer tears gliding down her face. Her eyes try to find the dishonesty in the boy's eyes but they don't flicker.

"Your bluffing."

"I don't bluff Rach."

"Don't lie to me Finn. Your really hurting me right now..and the last thing I need is for you lying." He looks down and away from the diva worrisome eyes. He had wished he was lying but he wasn't.

"Your not lying are you?" She finally admits to the sudden realization and questions him, "Wait.. is that why we were doing life to the fullest week."

"I.."

"You couldn't keep a secret for one whole day?"

"Rachel you need help."

Her voice raises, "If I wanted help I would of asked for it, but what I remember is specifically telling you to keep it a secret!"

"Rachel its harder than it seems." He tries to hold the girl but she smacks his hands away.

"You know what's hard Finn. Being called out of class like I have a problem while the other glee kids didn't. No one else got the so I'm depressed pamphlet! I'm not the only one who was effected by this."

"But you were effected by it the most. I mean who is Quinn even to you?"

"Excuse me? Are you saying its bad for Quinn to be my friend?"

"I just don't think it makes any sense. She tortured you Rachel and quite frankly she didn't support the wedding."

"But she changed her mind and she was on her way."

"On her way to do what exactly? Do you even know her intentions were when she got to the wedding?"

"Support me."

"How does someone do that? Change their mind last minute and decided to support something that is against their being."

"She honors our friendship over her beliefs so of course she'd be there."

"Honors your friendship over her beliefs? She's the girl who lied to me about being the father of her baby when she knew you loved me."

"Shes changed."

"Either way she controlling your life Rachel. She's keeping you from being with me."

"Your wrong Finn. Only I can keep from being with you." The brunette pushes him and walks away.

"Rachel!"

The brunette felt safe and at ease in the blondes arms. She couldn't believe she was going to run away and face something tried to erase alone. She had Quinn and that's all she needed.

A door is opened and Rachel awakes to a women entering the room.

"You." Judy stops and points at the girl who had awoken startled.

She sat up out of bed and began gathering her belongings.

"Your the girl from that night. Am I right?"

Rachel begins to cry.

"I'm so sorry."

"So so sorry." She runs and trips over a cord that sends her flying on her face. Judy helps the girl up, wiping the brunette's tears as they fall down her cheek. The expression on her face was like a deer in headlight, "Please don't look at me."

The thought that she had kept well locked up burst opened. Overflowing everywhere. "I'm so sorry." She runs down the halls as she pictures the events reoccurring in her mind. There was no way she could revisit this place again.

Rachel enters the parking lot unable to insert her key into her car door and breaks down in front of it. She slumps down against it and cradles her head in her knees crying.

She arrives home safely trying to avoid waking up her fathers. She keeps her eyes peel open as she climbs her way up the stairs. "Oopsy Daisy." The brunette had ran into her dad Hiram.

She hugs him. "Love you too." He wraps his hand around his daughter rubbing her back and then kiss her forehead. "You ok kiddo?" His shirt is damp with tears and he smiles at his daughter pretending as if he couldn't see the tears building upon the bank of her eyes.

"I'm fine."

"Why aren't you with Quinn?"

"The bed wasn't big enough, It was uncomfortable so I couldn't sleep."

"Oh. You hungry? Your dad cooked your favorite. It's in the red Tupperware in the fridge."

"I'll eat some later."

"You sure your okay?"

"I'm fine. Why are you still awake?"

"I was craving for a midnight snack." He pats her head and kisses it, "Goodnight my little diva."

"Night dad."

She runs upstairs and shuts the door behind her. Once inside she slides down against her door crying into her knees yet again. The girl never kept something so deep, so secretive, so heart wrenching thing from her fathers and it was painful knowing they worried and knowing she couldn't even tell them the truth even if she wanted to. Knowing that a couple rooms down she couldn't tell the people whom she loved most that she was dying from the inside out.

Rachel paces outside Quinn's room. She was able to attain the information of where the blonde was staying but they wouldn't let her see her because she wasn't family related.

I want to see her. I need to.

She looked at the girl resting peacefully on her bed through the glass window. The blonde was resting on a bed with machines hooked up to her at every angle. How could she look so calm, so collective, and so beautiful when chaos struck outside the walls of her eyes. When people who loved her were weeping. When she was crying. When the person she needed the most was sleeping.

Please be okay.

Rachel presses her hand over the glass window pretending to be besides Quinn holding her. "You her friend?" A voice echos into her ear from behind her. She nods. "I know I'm not suppose to do this but don't let anyone know I let you in." She grabs keys from her pocket. They jingle harmoniously as she tries to find the right key.

"Why are you doing this?" She looks at the browned haired girl with blonde streaks in her hair who was a little older than her.

She smiles at the diva, "In times like this people forget that the people who are directly impacted by an accident aren't the ones who are desperately in need of help." She finally finds the right key and slides it in the lock unlocking it. "I have to go before someone sees me."

"If anyone asks you how you got in, tell them it was unlocked." She takes out her keys and begins walking away. "Wait what's your name?"

"Samantha." She smiles and turns away.

There are strangers in your life that impact your life in a big way. The brunette didn't really believe such a thing until now. She placed her hand nervously on the door knob. Heart pounding not knowing what to expect once she entered.

Behind the door was Quinn.

Resentful? Breathless? Confused? But most of all broken.

Whatever the blonde's awakening feeling was and whether she liked it or not Rachel was entering. The diva slowly turned the knob and pushed against the door.

She stares the blonde unable to express her remorse and is only able to whimper her name, "Quinn" She walks toward the girl. Kneeling down on her knees, gripping the warm hand in her cold one, crying into it, "I'm so so sorry." The girl's warmth spread through her body and she felt alive again.

"I know you don't know I'm here right now but please forgive me." There is a light squeeze in her hand and Rachel cries.

How could she forgive her at all. The squeeze couldn't had been Quinn's. It was a fluke. A normal reaction of the subconscious body. "I'm so sorry. I know that maybe you will never forgive me for this but I just want to let you know I can't express the amount of pain that I'm feeling right now."

"I'm not surprised if you will hate me when you awake but It won't stop me from earning your forgiveness. Our friendship. Because I can't lose you Quinn. I can't." She sobs lightly and begins to break down. She hadn't cried at all since she had found out about the accident. Everyone was crying expect her she sat blankly in the waiting room.

She had enough of the waiting and she couldn't stop thinking about Quinn. Finn had tried to convince her to stay besides him but she refused. She couldn't just sit there thinking whether or not she was ok.

As she lays her head on the bedside when something pulls the clip off her hair and her hair freely falls to her shoulder. She turns around and a hand is raked into the roots of her hair. "Come here you little bitch." As she is being dragged to the other side of the room she holds onto her hair to reduce the stinging pain.

The diva gets a good look at the figure. His eyes are full of rage and his face features are so similar to Quinn's. "This isn't a place to talk If you respect her space talk to me out of this room."

"You want respect? Your the one that put my little girl in this room." The man drags her into the hallway and throws her against the wall.

She looks down trying to avoid staring into his eyes and he yells in response, "Listen to me!"

He grabs a hold of more hair and yanks her in his direction to force her to stare deeply into his eyes, "I said listen to me!" She looks directly in his eyes forgetting whether she was looking into the eyes of Quinn's or the eyes of her father.

"Look you may have ruined your life with this marriage but you had no right to drag my daughter with you. She was accepted into Yale. Do you have any idea how much she's been through already? Do you?"

He shakes her violently by the hair and she whimpers a cry, "Yes." Tears of pain fall down her face.

"How do you think it feels for a father to get a phone call from across the world that his daughter is almost killed in an car accident because some idiot decided to text her? I raised my daughters well and its always the devil who come crashing down who ruins it."

He begins to whisper, "You are no better than the guy who made her pregnant. In fact your worse because you almost ended life. You almost took my daughters life away and your tainting that room right your presence!" He holds his hand in the air ready to slap her when a voice of a women stops him.

"Russel! How dare you do this to this little girl." He ignores the women's voice and she quickly runs towards them in panicky state.

He grips her face with his thumbs as if he is going to tear her head off. Her eyes beg for the women to come save her but he jerks her face towards him. "Listen to me God dammit." He presses his thumbs harder into the girls face to force her to stare into his hazel green eyes as it flickers with rage.

"Let me say this once and only once, if my daughter doesn't recover I'm pressing charges."

He yells, "You hear me!"

The brunette doesn't say a word and stares into his deep green eyes. Would Quinn be as angry? Lost in her thoughts and the lack of response from the diva he shakes her again yelling even louder. "I said did your HEAR ME!"

Judy smacks him across his face and he lets go of the girl and looks at her with wild eyes. "Your drunk again, aren't you." Her face bears the same expression as hers and he walks away furiously into the room.

Rachel just stood there. She didn't bother fixing her hair or the smeared makeup on her face. She could still feel the violent tugging of her hair and the pressure into her skull.

Judy looks at the wide eyed girl not sure what to do. "I'm truly sorry for my husbands actions." She cups her face with her hand and lifts her head to get a good look at her. She knew what her eyes spelled and she knew her husband was abusive. She couldn't dispel the sorrow in her eyes but she had to go seek her husband before he did anything more drastic.

She walked away keeping her eyes on the girl hoping that when she returns she is still there to comfort her.

Rachel walks away from the room leaning onto the wall for support and slumps to the ground crying. Puck witnesses it and runs for help.

She takes out her phone. She needed someone. Anyone. When her screen comes to sight she notices a unopened text message and opens it. The message seizes her chest and tears sailed down her face. She couldn't breathe, she could barely react to Quinn's short message:

On my way.

"Finn man your girl is down."

"What?"

"Quinn's father."

And that's all he had to say. He knew how her father was because he had personally felt the direct brutality of Mr. Fabray. Finn runs toward the hallway where Rachel was suppose to be but she isn't there.

Rachel had climbed her way to the top of the hospital building. The wind blew ruffling through every strand of hair. Her dress frequently blew up the rim of her dress but she took no action to keep it from flying upward. She was to focused on how refreshing the air was right now because breathing never quite felt as good as this.

She walks towards the edge of the building and adrenaline runs through the course of her body as she walked closer. The diva glazes down at the parking lot and then the Ohio scenery. Everything was so pretty. She practically saw all of small town Lima, Ohio from here. Dying in front of something so beautiful made her take one step forward.

Mr. Shue was right. It was crazy to jump off the edge but all this pressure was pushing her. She placed her foot on the edge and looks down at the concrete. It mocked her and tears streamed down her face.

The diva was going to do it.

"Rachel stop!"

Rachel turns her head and Finn is running. She turns back around looking down. It was now or never. Her life flashed between her eyes and what stuck out to her wasn't Finn, her life achievements, or her dreams of New York; it was Quinn. Her words, voice, and tears made the the girl crackle under the pressure.

You don't belong here, Rachel. And you can't hate me from helping to send you on your way.

I wanted to thank you, actually. For keeping me from doing something stupid. Something i would have regretted my entire life.

I cant stand here and watch you ruin your life marrying Finn Hudson!

Rachel hands were shaking now or was it her whole body. She sits down on the ledge with her feet hanging. The wind blows and her heel falls gracefully to the ground making a clacking echo. In mere seconds everything could be over. That's all it took. Seconds.

She stands up and spreads her hands out preparing to fall. The wind blows again and it shift her side to side yet she doesn't back down from the calling of the wind. Within seconds all of the guilt, agony, and pressure endowing the girl would go away and Rachel was looking forward to it.

Until Quinn's voice grabs a hold of her heels, legs, and her heart.

"You can't change your past but you can let go and start your future."

That was what had done it. All the efforts that Quinn had made would go to waste. All the shit shes been through high school would be worthless if she couldn't move beyond those days. The blonde knew she had a bright future, brighter than anyone at Mckinley, brighter than anyone in the small town Lima, Ohio and Quinn had noticed it and here she was just seconds from giving all that away.

How would Quinn react if she woke up finding out she was dead or believed she was the blame for her death. She leaned subconsciously backwards, head falling first to the ground behind her, when Finn caught her.

"I'm here Rachel." Finn holds her tightly and is crying. He is completely heart broken that despite loving him she would selfishly go on the edge like that. She can tell by the way he is gripping her tightly in his arms.

"I wasn't going to do it after all."

Her face was expressionless and voice is plain. It was as if she wasn't scared to jump at the edge at all that she knew exactly what she was doing and yet she wasn't scared. It was as if something had shattered her, something that had taken possession of her body and she was no longer herself.

She was no longer his Rachel and he hugged her tighter but the soulless girl was still there.

"Don't...don't tell anyone about this please."

"Just promise me you wont ever go on the edge again. I can't lose you Rachel." His tears mixed with her hair and she just stood there wide eyed.

Quinn had stopped her from making many stupid mistakes before but why was she able to stop her from ruining her life when that's what she had done to her since the very beginning. Nothing made sense but she only knew that some how Quinn was on her way to save her and she did. Even though she was in a room 50 flights of stairs down. Quinn was there stirring her future in the right path.

Everything wasn't going her way. But when was it ever was.

Quinn and her weren't speaking. She was a complete mess even though she had tried so hard to avoid it and Finn had broken his promise.

She hits the keys in frustration. Why couldn't she get it right. She begins to pound it. Softly, lighter. Faster, harder.

Why wasn't she alright?

"It deals with everything! Excuse me if you may but I can't handle this right now." Rachel leaves the room and Finn quickly runs after her.

Quinn quirks her eyebrow. They weren't friends anymore but she couldn't help but run after the brunette after her absurb actions.

"I'm sorry that you guy's welcome back plan didn't work so well- but I hope you understand that I have to go."

After Rachel

"By all means Quinn go ahead."

The blonde exits the room calmly but as soon as they are out of her sight she wheels forward faster.

Please be safe

She stops in her tracks when she sees Finn banging his head against the locker.

Rachel where could you be?

She checks the gymnasium, the locker room, the cafeteria and every single classroom.

Where are you..

She wheels around the football field towards the bleachers exhausted. It's been over an hour since she started searching.

She should of known she had left Mckinley by now. She slams her fist into her wheel chair and she hears a squeal to her rear.

"Rachel is that you?" The diva's head pops out from behind the bleachers.

"Quinn."

"I been looking all over for you."

"You have?" She half heartdly smiles.

"Can we talk?"

"Ok." She makes her way out of the bleachers and sits down.

"Lets talk somewhere more private."

The girls find an empty classroom and Quinn locks it.

Quinn didn't want to be too forward she needed to do things gently. She just found the diva and she didn't need her to be running for the hills again. The blonde needed to form her words carefully. After all she had promised Finn.

"What are you hiding Rachel?"

"I'm not hiding anything." She steps back at the blonde draws closer.

"Why did you visit me at the hospital?"

Rachel had assisted the blonde to the bathroom, shower, and had stayed in a hospital infested with germs and yet nothing felt more uncomfortable for the brunette than right now.

"What does that have to do with anything."

"Just answer the damn question Berry!" She calms her voice. If she couldn't keep her act together they weren't going anywhere.

"Because your my friend Quinn. Friends are there for each other when things like this happen."

"I have a lot of friends Rachel but they didn't visit me on a daily basis."

The diva looks away ready to cry. The blonde softens her gaze and grabs hold of the girl's hand.

"Just tell me the truth."

"I cant Quinn..I just can't."

"Do you know how frustrating you are being? I'm hurting Rachel..I cant feel my fucking legs anymore!"

"I'm so sorry." The brunette gasps for air and sobs but the blonde continues to pursue for answers.

"Sorry isn't going to cut it Rachel. I need answers."

"The accident was all my fault." There is a constriction in her chest again and the diva can't breathe.

"I never asked you to visit me everyday." Quinn's eyes fill with tears. Was Rachel just there to make up the guilt that she had? Was she just there because she felt sorry?

"Well then I should get going then.." Rachel tries to pull away from the blonde but the girl tightens her hold. She should have known that the last thing the blonde wanted was for her to be around after all it was her fault.

"Rachel no..I'm sorry. I didn't mean-"

"I should have known you didn't want my company..I mean I am to blame. I should of known you'd be angry at m-e."

Quinn suddenly pulls her into a kiss and whispers into her ear in anguish, "I'm so sorry."

A peck on the lips quickly becomes something more. Their lips intertwine and the blonde slides her tongue into the brunette's mouth. The warmth spread rapidly throughout their body as soon as their tongues had contact.

She mummers in between kisses, "Your so wrong Rachel." and every time their lips separated cold air instantly caused shivers to run down their spine. The girl kisses her endlessly trying to retain the warmth that spread throughout her body.

The blonde then presses her forehead against hers and stares into her glossy eyes, "How could I let you think this way." She kisses her again and the brunette kisses back.

The connection that droves them towards each other when problems arose was driving them closer again. They always seeked each others company and closure but this was a whole new level. Rachel knew Quinn was manipulative and got what she wanted and that's exactly how she was getting her now.

The blonde was craving more of this warmth. She kisses up her collar bone to her neck and Rachel slightly moans. Quinn brushes her lips against her ear and gently whispers,"I want to make love to you." Rachel seeks comfort too and says me too.

Please don't bash on my characters. I repeat don't bash on them. We might hurt some Mr. Fabray fans out there. Ha! Who am I kidding.
