Quinn's point of view
I was walking down the hallway to go to my Spanish class when I saw Rachel at her locker. I stopped in the middle of the hallway staring at her. Then, Santana and Brittany came out of nowhere. "Hey Q", they both said. "Why are you checking out the dwarf?", Santana said. "I don't see any dwarfs Santana, just Rachel", Brittany pointed out. "Brit I was talking about Rachel", Santana said. "l knew it. I knew she was a mythical creature", Brittany said. "Brittany, Rachel isn't a mythical creature, Santana just making fun of her calling her a dwarf", l said. "Santana don't be mean", Brittany said pouting. Santana rolled her eyes. "You didn't answer Q. And why are you calling her Rachel?", Santana said. "I, um, l think l like Rachel Berry", l said quickly. "Damn you Fabray. I knew you were gay. But there are so many girls at our school why her?", Santana said, crossing her arms in front of her chest. "Does it mean that we will go on double dates? I kind of like Rachel. I think you will be a nice couple like me and Santana", Brittany said with a wide smile. "Brit we are not a couple and we won't go on a double date with anyone", Santana said. "Oh please, of course you are a couple. For fucks sake admit it already Santana. I haven't been on a date with her yet Brit so you will have to wait. And how do you even know that I am gay?", l said. Santana rolled her eyes, grabbed Brittany from her arm and left before saying, "Have fun staring at the midget". I turned again to see Rachel and we locked eyes. None of us moved, we just standing there looking at each other. "How cute. Hey, Azimio look at the fags they are staring at each other", l heard Karofsky saying ironically and when l turned around to see them, Karofsky threw a slushie on my face and then left with his friend.
Rachel instantly came to me. "Oh my God, let's clean you up", she said while leading me to the bathroom. I sat down on a chair that Rachel brought from the nearest classroom and grabbed some towels. "Here, let me help you", Rachel said. "l don't need a babysitter l can clean myself up, okay?", l said. "Well, l am sorry for trying to help you", she shot back rolling her eyes. "Why are you so kind to me? I was nothing but cruel to you", I said cleaning up my face with a towel. "You know Quinn, everyone deserves a second chance and l am willing to give you one. I think that deep down you are a good person. It's been a while since you called me by my nicknames. Plus, I want to thank you for stopping that slushie attack the other day", she said while grabbing a towel and started cleaning up my hair. The slushie was all over me.
Rachel bit her bottom lip while staring at me through the mirror. Then, she came closer to me and bend over. Damn you Rachel, what are you doing? She was extremely close and I could feel my heart racing. She licked some drops of slushie that I had on my shoulder. "Mmmm, cherry, my favorite", she whispered in my ear and l quiver. I didn't move. "What are you-", l tried to say but she stopped me by putting her finger on my lips. "l want to tell you something", she whispered again. "Okay", l simply said watching her walking to the bathroom's door. She checked if there was anyone near and then locked the door. "Rachel what the hell?", l said. "Just trust me, okay?", she said, coming closer to me again. "This was never the way I planned, not my intention l got some brave drink in hand, lost my discretion", she started singing slowly. "Are you singing Katty Perry's 'l kissed a girl'?", l said raising an eyebrow. "l kissed a girl and l liked it", she continued. "Rachel you are freaking me out", l stated while finishing cleaning myself up. "I told you I don't want to talk about that kiss we had at the auditorium", l reminded her. "Quinn you know that we are staring at each other with every chance, right? I don't know why you are doing this but I, um, l think l like you. No, not think, l like you", she admitted. Oh my God, Rachel Berry likes me, Rachel Berry like me. What should I tell her? Shouldn't I tell her the truth? That l liked her back, maybe giving her a chance. "Firstly unlock the damn door and second let's go to talk somewhere private", l said and she obeyed me. We went to the auditorium. Damn, this place was like our love nest.
"Rachel sit", l told her and she did so immediately. "As l told you before I joined Glee club to have an eye on a certain someone", l started to say and she cut me off. "l know it's Finn but I just wanted a chance because I like you", she said looking down. "Actually if you let me finish you will find out who that certain someone is. No, it's not that clumsy quarterback. I, um, l joined Glee club for you", l said lowering my voice so she couldn't listen the last two words. "What did you say? I honestly didn't hear you", she said. "l said l joined Glee club for you. You are the certain someone that l want to have an eye on", l said in my normal voice this time. "So, you like me back?", she asked with a shocked voice. "I think I do", l stated. As soon as I said that, she hugged me and didn't let me go. I was so in pain but l didn't want to pull away. She pulled away first. "l want to confess something", she said. "Sure go ahead", l told her giving her a confident look. "l chose our song on purpose", she admitted. "l haven't really paid attention to the lyrics. I just sing them", l said embarrassed. "That's the key. Oh my God, Quinn that's why we aren't ready. I mean every word l say and you just sing without emotion. Pour some emotion into it, will you?", Rachel said. "l'll see you at six, my place", she said, kissed my cheek and left, running out of the auditorium excited.

The moment I entered the house l was bouncing like a ball. My daddy saw me. "Honey, calm down please", he said holding me from my shoulders to stop me. "Daddy l am so happy", I said and hugged him. Then, my dad came out of the kitchen. "l can tell you are happy. Mind telling us why?", he said again. "So, l kind of kissed Quinn at the auditorium the other day-", l said and then my dad cut me off. "You did what?", he said upset. "Dad wait until l finish the story. So, today Quinn was going to her classroom and she stopped in the middle of the hallway staring at me and l stared back at her beautiful hazel eyes. Then, Karofsky and Azimio came and threw her a slushie. I went with her to the bathroom to help her clean herself up and l told her that l like her. She dragged me to the auditorium to talk to me and she admitted that she joined Glee club for me", l said giving my parents a moment to sink in all the information they heard. "l don't like the sudden transformation of Quinn's attitude. I mean, she may be good now but we don't know if it's permanent", my dad finally said.
It was almost six which meant that Quinn was about to come. I heard the bell ringing and run downstairs to welcome her. My daddy got to the door first. "Hello miss Fabray", he said coldly. "Hey Quinn", l said waving excitedly to her. "Hello mister Berry", she said almost embarrassed. "Hi Rach", she told me and blushed a little. "Rachel, honey, can you leave us with miss Fabray for a moment?", my daddy said. "Don't be mean to her, please", l said and left, sitting at the stairs so l could listen whatever they said. If it was necessary I would go in and rescue Quinn.

Rachel's dads wanted to talk to me. I knew shit got real when they asked Rachel to leave us alone. I felt like a sheep in the wolf's mouth. I sat down and gulped, waiting for them to say something. "So, miss Fabray, Rachel told us everything. I'll be honest with you, l don't like you. I just want to know what kind of game you are playing with my daughter's heart", Hiram said when his husband interfered. "Darling, calm down she is just a teenager", Leroy told him. "l just want to know what she is doing with our daughter. You know, she wasn't here to kiss her tears away every time miss Fabray here made her life a living hell at school, l was", he said, giving me an angry glare. "I am fully aware of what I did to your daughter mister Berry but I can assure you that I am not playing any games with Rachel's heart. I like her and I actually talked to her about it. I mean l apologized to her but unfortunately I can't undo what happened. I just want a fresh start with her and she already told me that she wants to give me a second chance", l said with my confident and serious tone. "l'll have my eyes on you. I will watch every move you make and if you do anything wrong-", he stated while looking at me suspiciously. Thankfully, Rachel appeared just in time to save me. "Oooooookay, that's enough daddy. Quinn and l will be in my room practicing, knock before you enter. Thanks", Rachel said and dragged me to her room closing the door behind her. "God, thank you so much for the rescue. Did you hear any of it?", l asked. "All of it actually, that's why I came in just the right time to save you", Rachel admitted. "Anyways can we practice now?", l asked. "Sure. Tomorrow we will start the choreography and when we learn it we will combine the song with the choreography", she told me.
Two hours later we called it a day, said our goodbyes and I drove home. I was right out of the house. I only had to park my car and then once again I screwed up. As l was parking, l accidentally accelerate and hit my dad's car which was in front of mine. He got out to see what happened and when he saw my car touching his, his eyeballs got on fire. I left my car as it was and got in the house. Damn me, l was so in trouble. This would be one of the bad days. As soon as he closed the door, he grabbed me by my hoodie and pushed me. I hit the wall and fell to the ground. "Get up useless child. How the fuck can you be so useless?", he screamed to me and put his hand on my neck. It wasn't the first time he did that but every time was scarier than the last. He started squishing. God, it hurt so much but I deserve it. I couldn't breathe properly so l grabbed his hand to make him stop. It only made him angrier. He pushed me to my room and slapped me hard to the face. He only left because his phone rang. Saved by the phone l told myself. Once again I went to the bathroom to check myself out. My knee was getting better, my ribs were still sore and purple and hurt every time I moved, not much though. My bicep's cuts were sore as well, reminding me how much useless I am. I looked at my neck and my cheek. Fuck, there will be bruises at those spots by tomorrow.
I collapsed on my bed, moaning from pain and I heard a knock on the door. "Come in", l almost whispered because now my neck hurt. "Quinnie are you okay?", my mum said. "Do l look okay to you?", l snapped at her. "If you only were more careful none of this would happen", she told me. "How can you let him do that to me? I am your daughter", I said disappointed. "I am sorry Quinnie but l can't ruin our family", she said and left. "There isn't a family to ruin", l whispered to the place she was standing.
