Quinn's point of view
After l left Rachel standing there in the auditorium l went to my car, pulled out of the parking lot and drove away. I needed a ride to clean my head. I went to the nearest park, got out of my car and after walking for a couple of minutes I sat on the grass with difficulty. I stared at the lake in front of me, watching the ducks that Brittany love so much feeding, swimming around. The park was almost empty, there were only two kids with their mothers who were playing. I couldn't help but stare at them. I love children maybe some day l will have some of my own. I got carried away. I only realized what time it was when I had a train of thoughts. First I thought about how soft Rachel's lips were, then about the attitude l should have when l was around her and that was the moment it hit me. "Oh crap Glee rehearsal", I said to myself and returned to school in like seconds.

Rachel's point of view
"Quinn is late, we need to start without her", mister Schuester said clapping his hands once in order to get our attention. "Noooo we can't start without her", l said crossing my arms in front of my chest. Okay, l will be honest with you guys. I talked to mister Schuester about the duets because I want to come closer to Quinn. That's one of the parts of my operation. So, it's simple mister Schuester will announce duets as this week's assignment and l will ask Quinn to sing with me. But he can't do that without Quinn being here. "She will be here, she told me that", l stated and Santana looked at me suspiciously. Just then Quinn appeared. "I am sorry I am late mister Schuester", she said holding her ribs for a second, trying to catch her breath. He nodded his head and told her to sit.
"So one of you and l won't say a name, told me that it would be nice to have duet battles for this week's assignment. The winning couple will have dinner at Breadstix all expenses paid by me", mister Schuester said. Well, all l wanted was to sing with Quinn but I wouldn't mind a dinner with her either. "I want to sing with Tina", Artie said right away. "No Artie. You see, you won't choose your partner. Come on, everyone write your name in a piece of paper and put it in the hat on the piano. Fate will choose", he said and l felt like l couldn't breathe. No, he was about to ruin everything but l couldn't say anything, could l? So, Artie got Mercedes, Sam got Matt, Santana got Brittany and gave her a kiss on the cheek as soon as she pulled Brittany's name from the hat and sat back down. Tina got Mike and there were only four names left, mine, Kurt's, Finn's and Quinn's. Kurt went to the hat to pull a name and he got his. "You can't sing a duet by yourself Kurt", mister Schuester pointed out. "What why? I got a name and that's mine, I didn't break any rules", he said rolling his eyes. "That's like vocal masturbation", Santana said and I turned seeing Quinn biting her lip so she wouldn't laugh at what Santana said. She was so cute but I turned my attention back to Kurt again. Please take Finn, please take Finn, please take Finn. I was thinking again and again.
"Finn", he said and l almost jump from happiness. "Which means Rachel will work on a duet with Quinn", mister Schuester said and l saw Quinn blushed from the corner of my eye. We continued goofing around singing and dancing. "Alright guys don't forget you Spanish assignment as well. You are dismissed", mister Schuester said clapping his hands again. Everyone said their goodbyes and once again Quinn and l were the only ones at the classroom. Quinn was drawing again without paying attention to anyone since she learnt who she was singing a duet with. "Hey Quinn, what's up?", l tried to play it cool so that l could hide my nervousness. "Look, Rachel about what happened before...I, um, l don't want to talk about it again okay?", she said locking her eyes with mine. Those hazel eyes would be the death of mine. "S-sure we won't talk about it. I just wanted to let you know that we will have practice every day at six at my house, starting today", l said confidently and when she nodded l got out. When l was far away from the classroom l almost screamed and started dancing and jumping. I got home all excited about this. Only three and a half hours before I see Quinn again, l can't wait.

Quinn's point of view
I shouldn't accept what Rachel said. I should protest, how did I let myself saying yes to a duet with Rachel Berry, the most annoying diva in the world? And worse how did l let myself saying yes on practicing every day at her house? I am so screwed, if Santana finds out l am a dead man. I got back home and went straight to my room only shouting a 'hello' when l got in. I need to start my homework and then go to Rachel's for practice. Two hours later I started preparing to go to Rachel's. What should I wear? My ribs hurt, not much though but yet again I couldn't wear my Cheerio uniform or tight clothes. So l pulled a hoodie and a pair of jeans from my drawer and wore them.
I was at Rachel's house just on time. I stood there, in front of the door. I gulped and then knocked with hesitation. The door opened and I saw a tall man with glasses. He must be almost at his fifties, l guessed because he had white hair. "Hello sir I am Quinn Fabray, it's nice to meet you", I said extended my hand. "I wish I could say the same miss Fabray, l am Hiram Berry", he said and l gulped again, taking my hand back. Just then Rachel appeared to save me. "Daddy she is a guest don't be mean to her", Rachel said and he rolled his eyes. "l am sorry honey, but I can't help it", he said and leave. Rachel led me to her room and closed the door. "l am sorry Quinn but he knows everything you done to me at school", she said and looked down. "Don't be sorry, l deserve it. I should be the one apologizing", l said. "So, what will we sing? How about 'Pretending'?", she said. "Um, sure why not", l agreed instantly.
After two hours of rehearsal l left Rachel's house and returned home. "Where the hell were you?", my dad shouted at me as soon as I entered the house. "l told mum that I was at Rachel's practicing our duet for Glee club", l told him. "Rachel? As Rachel Berry? That stupid girl who has two fag dads?", he said angry. "Hey don't call them that", l shouted to him. Shit, l immediately widen my eyes in realization of what I said. "How dare you shout to me?", he shouted back and slapped me. "Go to your fucking room, you won't eat for the rest of the day and tomorrow as well. Also, you won't leave the house tomorrow, not even for school", he said pushing me.

The next day Quinn texted me that she couldn't made it for today's rehearsal at my house. She didn't come to school either. l got worried and texted her again to see if she was okay but she never responded although she read my message. Just then someone grabbed my cellphone from my hands. "Hey give it back", l said immediately after I realized it was Santana. "Why are you texting Quinn, unibrow?", she said giving me a murderous look. "I texted her about our duet. We will sing together, remember?", l told her. "That's all? I see you every time you stare at her. You like her, don't you?", she said giving back my cellphone. "Santana just because I have two gay dads doesn't mean l am gay too", l shot back. "Whatever you say manhands", she said and left when she felt Brittany's hand grabbing hers.
After school l returned home, had lunch with my dads and went to my room. Should I call her? What if she was sick? I was staring at my cellphone deciding whether I should call her or not. I finally dialed her number and press the call button. I froze when I heard a male voice instead of Quinn's. "You are Rachel Berry, right?", he said. "Yes sir. Is Quinn there? Can l-", l tried to say but he cut me off. "Don't call her again", he said and turned off the phone. Oooookay, so, that was weird. Why did Quinn's dad answer her phone? Was she grounded or something? I was worrying more now. Even if she was grounded shouldn't she come to school? I mean telling a kid not to go to school is not even a punishment.

Quinn's point of view
The day passed really fast. I didn't go to school or Rachel's house for practice. My father locked me in my room and only opened the door when l said l wanted to go to the bathroom. I stared at the mirror. Damn it, l had a bruise on my cheek. I can't take it anymore, l was telling to myself. As l was about to exit the bathroom I saw a razor blade. No one will miss me anyway, l am such a loser. I am useless, l told myself again holding the razon blade. I hold still the razor blade on my upper arm and dragged it down a bit, making a small line. I couldn't stop, it somehow relaxed me. So, l did some more. I was staring at myself through the mirror again ignoring the blood running on my arm. Ten minutes later I heard a knock on the door. "Quinn get out of there", my dad ordered me and after pulling down my sleeve I got out.
The next day I went to school like nothing happened. First thing I saw was Santana waiting at my locker holding Brittany's hand. "Hey Q, how are you?", she asked me with concern in her eyes. Santana was a cold bitch but when she cared about someone she was the most adorable person on earth. "l am fine", l said forcing a smile. Just then, the bell rang. Saved by the bell, l thought. "See you later Q", Santana said and they both waved at me while leaving. It was lunch time so l was heading to the cafeteria, l was almost there when I saw Karofsky and Azimio holding a cup of slushie. They were heading towards Rachel. "Where the hell do you think you are going?", I told them while stepping in front of them. "Move away Fabray, she is a loser", Karofsky stated. "Don't you dare throw that slushie to her", l screamed and slapped Karofsky. He grabbed my hand exactly on the spot l had my scars from yesterday. I stiffened but I couldn't let him see that. He pushed me and l crashed to the lockers. After that coach Sylvester appeared. "Get away from Fabray", she ordered and everyone froze. "Both of you, my office, now", she shouted and they both followed her. "Fabray take the rest of the day off", she said to me and then left.
I left school before I reassured Rachel that I would see her for rehearsal at six, her place. I drove off, l couldn't go home so I was driving around. I called my mom and told her that I would go to Rachel's for rehearsal. I hadn't eaten anything for over twenty four hours. I was feeling so weak. I parked at the park again and moved to the back sit. I closed my eyes trying to sleep a bit but however I tried to lie down l stiffened from pain. When the time came l drove to Rachel's place. I wish her parents weren't there before parking.

After l heard a knock on the door l rushed to open it. I knew it was Quinn because it was time for our rehearsal. "Come on in", l said and without facing her l dragged her to my room. I was excited about singing with Quinn again. I sat at my desk and Quinn on my bed slowly. "Are you okay?", l asked her. She was pale and she seemed so weak. "l am fine, l will just go to the bathroom to throw some water on my face", she said. She stood up heading for the bathroom and then she held her head with her right hand and l immediately grabbed her by her waist. "I am just a little dizzy, I didn't sleep well last night", she said. "You seem very weak", l pointed out. "l am fine", she said again and pushed me. She went to the bathroom and l was waiting outside. After ten minutes or so she got out. I was in shock when I saw a bruise on her left cheek. "Quinn what is that on your cheek?", l asked. The world just stopped moving, my suspicions were confirmed. "Crap, it's, um, it's nothing. I fell off my bed last night", she said and got back in the bathroom. Of course I didn't believe her.
We returned to my room and continued rehearsing. "Can we take a break?", she said. She was sweaty and totally tired but we were only practicing for half an hour. "Quinn, when was the last time you ate?", l asked leading her to my bed. I never let her hand and grabbed some tissues. I swiped her sweat looking her tired hazel eyes. "The day before yesterday", she said embarrassed and looked down. "What? Why?", l asked her. "Rachel l am very tired, can l take a nap please?", she asked me hesitantly. "Of course, I will order Chinese for you. You like Chinese, right?", l asked. All l wanted was to take care of her. "Yes. God, l am starving", she stated. "Rest now and I will wake you up when food will be ready", l said and kissed her temple before I left. My parents were on a date so they would be out for the rest of the night.
An hour or so later l went to wake Quinn. She seemed so peaceful. God, I could stare at her like forever. Just then she opened her eyes. "Hey there", I whispered. "How much time did you stare at me?", she asked pushing herself up. "l-l didn't-", l tried to say but she cut me off. "Whatever", she said rolling her eyes while covering her left upper arm with her right one. "You okay?", l asked worryingly. "Stop asking me that. I am fine", she said and we went to the kitchen to have dinner. After dinner she took her bag from my room and left, thanking me for the dinner. Well that was new, Quinn thanking me l mean. She wasn't that bad after all.
