Rachel's point of view
I miss Quinn so much already. It's been several hours since she left with her dad. Honestly, I don't think she wanted to leave, she looked hesitant about this. The whole time she was here with me I was sure about her safety but now l am not. I wasn't seeing that dream about her dad shooting her with a gun, but last night I saw it again. Quinn said that her mum left the house, l wonder if that means that she was the one who was beating her.
The next day, once again I found a flower and a note in my locker. Quinn was giving me a note and a flower every single day without failing. Every day a different flower and a note was waiting for me in my locker. This time I found a flower and an envelope, instead of a note. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around, only to see my favorite hazel eyes and a bandage again on her arm. Her Cheerio uniform didn't have sleeves, so she couldn't hide from me. "Good morning my bright star", she said giving me a kiss. I was staring at her arm and I frowned. "Quinn? Did you do it again? Why? Why can't you see how amazing my girlfriend is? Why can't you see how amazing Quinn Fabray is?", l whispered to her. "Rachel, please, just don't", she told me. I stroke slowly her cheek and she closed her eyes at the sensation. "I am not here for this", she said. "I know it's hard for you and that it has nothing to do about me, but l feel useless and unable to protect you", l said and instantly looked at the floor. "No, I told you not to say that fucking word again, don't you understand?", she snapped at me. "I-I am sorry. I just want you to be the way you were when you were staying with me", l said looking deeply into her eyes, meaning every word. "Don't apologize. I should be the one apologizing, l just snapped at you. I am sorry, I really love you. That's why l am here, because I love you so much that l wanted to be here when you will read this note and see what's inside that envelope", she explained. "l love you more", l said and after smelling the beautiful flower l took the envelope on my hands. "The note first", she told me before I open it.
This is the Almond and it stands for 'promise'. I want to promise you that I will always be at your future Broadway shows, clapping louder than anyone and who knows if everything will go well maybe l'll get the chance to have two last names. How does Quinn Fabray-Berry sound to you? I already love it and I totally love you. I want you to promise me something too. I want you to promise me that even if this won't work out, you will be here for me even as a friend, because I can't imagine my life without you in it.
Always yours,
Quinn Fabray-Berry
"Wait, why does your last name is first?", l asked her, crossing my arms in front of my chest. "Seriously? From all that you read you ask me this?", she said cocking an eyebrow. "Well, yeah. Oh, do you mind if you bring me flowers after the Broadway shows as well?", I said. "Racheeel, you are ruining the moment", she said, rolling her eyes. "I was actually serious. Can't we put my last name first?", I asked. "Are you serious? I mean you said you are but are you serious?", she asked me excited. "Yes, l am serious, l want my last name first", l told her. "No, not that. I mean are you considering of getting married with me?", she asked me excited again. "I am not going to leave your side. If we will get married or not it's up to you, because you will be the one who will propose", l said and kissed her. "I would love that. Now, see what's in the envelope", she said and kissed me back. I took a look at the envelope again and found a necklace which had a small key hanging. "This is so beautiful Quinn, thank you", l told her.
"It matches with my necklace", she said and pulled the necklace out of her Cheerio t-shirt. It was a beautiful heart with a keyhole in the middle. "Quinn it's so beautiful", I said and traced my fingertips on it. "It's metaphorical for you stealing my heart. I mean l still have it but you have the key. I know it's cheesy but the moment I saw l thought of you", she said and hugged me. "So, how about a dinner tonight? My place", she said. "I would love that. It would be a chance to meet your dad. You know, because I only talked to him for like ten seconds", l said and smiled. "It's settled then. Be at my place by eight", she said and kissed my cheek before the bell rang. "Walk me to class?", l asked. "Of course", she said and held my hand.

Quinn's point of view
When l returned home l realized that l was alone. I knew my father would be out and drinking somewhere until midnight, so it was the perfect idea to invite Rachel and find an excuse about my dad's absence. Rachel was suspicious enough to find out what is happening and l don't know if l am ready yet to tell her. I don't want her to see me as broken, if she doesn't see me that way already. I started cooking dinner at six and by eight everything was ready. The table was ready and l was dressed and waiting for Rachel to arrive.
At eight o'clock sharp l heard the door bell. I opened the door only to find a breathtaking Rachel standing in front of me. "You are-you are breathtaking", l said trying to gain my composure. "Thank you. You are stunning as well", she said, pecked my lips and stepped further inside the house. "Where is your dad?", she asked me. "Oh, um, l forgot to tell you but he got an emergency call and left an hour ago", l told her. "Does that mean that we are alone?", she asked. "Yes", l told her. "Although I would love to meet your dad, l actually don't mind some privacy with my girlfriend", she said, giving me a deep kiss. "Oh, l don't mind either", l said and placed my arms around her waist as she put hers around my neck. "We can start dinner or we can see a movie", l said. "How about neither?", she said and l gulped. "Let's go to your room", she said and dragged me upstairs. Oh my god, was-will it happen again?
We entered my room and Rachel closed the door behind her. "You know it's inevitable, right? So, this time l want you to love me", she whispered and l felt my heart full of love. "I can't resist when you wear this dress, you know I love it when you wear it", l said and kissed her briefly. "Too bad you will get it off me soon", she said, giving me a fake pout. "Oh, is that so?", l asked. "Well, no", she said and laughed. "You always talk too much", l said kissing her again. I guided her to my desk and when she touched it l pulled away. I pushed all my books and stuff off the desk and Rachel's eyes lit up. "I love it when you are dynamic", she said. I lifted her and she sat on my desk. She opened her legs and l got closer to her. I kissed her neck and she tilted her head to give me better access. I sucked and kissed every inch available. "This is totally going to leave a mark", she said and moaned softly. "I want everyone to know that you are mine", l said and kissed her lips. I pulled away when oxygen became a need and she bit her bottom lip. "I lose my composure every time you do that", l told her. "That's why I do it", she said and kissed me. I carried her to the bed and lied her gently. "You won't need this", l told her and got her dress off. "You won't need this either", she said on got my dress off as well. My lips attacked her neck again, l slipped my hands underneath her and unclasped her bra and tossed it aside.
"I love you so much", I said and we locked our gaze. "I love you more", she said as always. She lifted herself and kissed me. Her hands instantly found my bra and she got it off of me. She massaged my breasts and a moan escaped my mouth. "No, no, stop. Don't touch me", I said and she took her hands off of me scared. "Did I do anything wrong?", she asked worried. "No, you didn't, my bright star. I just-l want to tease you first. So, put your hands up and don't touch me or you if I don't say otherwise. I am in charge now. You don't get to talk either, do you understand?", I said and put her hands above her head, holding them steady. She opened her mouth and then she closed it and nodded instead. "That's my girl", I said. I left her hands and ghost my fingertips around her nipples. She closed her eyes on the sensation. I kissed her collar bone and then her sternum and then each of her breasts. I couldn't believe that this was happening again. I wanted to remember every second of it and every inch of Rachel. "God, this is torture Quinn", she gasped. "I said no talking", l told her, cocking an eyebrow. I slipped my hand between her legs and run my fingers up and down her already wet underwear. "Someone is upset", l said. She looked me and then my underwear and cocked an eyebrow. "Fine, l admit it, l am upset too. I feel this tickling between my legs just from looking at you", I said and got back to work. I kissed her abs going further down. "Come on Quinn. God, inside already l think l am gonna pass out or something", she said, trying to catch her breath. "Patience is the most important thing, my bright star", l said. I traced my fingertips on her underwear and eventually got it off of her.
I licked her inner thigh and kissed a trail from her thigh, up between her legs. I licked and kissed and sucked her sensitive spot. She moand loudly. "Get my underwear off", l commanded and she did as l said. She was staring at me and l smiled. "Close your eyes", I ordered, she groaned and closed her eyes. I lied on top of her and she opened her eyes. "What did l tell you?", l asked her without waiting for an answer. "It's not fair, l-l can't touch you or kiss you or talk and now you want me not to look at you? That's impossible l can't stop looking at you", she said. "Fine you can keep your eyes open. On second thoughts l want you to look me in the eyes when l love you", l said and she blushed. I pressed my clit against hers and we started to rock on each other. I intertwined our fingers as we continued. I kissed her neck again and that's all it took for Rachel to jump from the edge of the pleasure cliff. She arched her back and moaned as l sucked her nipple again.
Just then I heard my dad's voice. "Oh my. God, did you hear that? That must be my dad", l said, widening my eyes. We got up fast and tried to get dressed while we were catching our breaths. "Quinn, where the fuck are you?", I heard his voice again. I froze. Damn it, he was only going to confirm Rachel's suspicions. We run downstairs and found my dad lying on the couch. "Did you make me dinner?", he asked. "Actually I made dinner for the three of us. I-l told you that Rachel would come to have dinner with us", l said. "Oh the fag's daughter. Where is she?", he asked searching the room. "Her name is Rachel, stop calling her the fag's daughter and she is right in front of you. You smell like alcohol, just go to sleep, l can't even look at you", l said, tears running down my cheeks. "You see, Rachel this kid is a total disaster. She is useless, in fact I didn't want her mum to keep her but she insisted", he said and l completely froze. "Are you kidding me? She is the kindest and caring person I have ever met. You should be ashamed of telling that to her", Rachel snapped and he got up. "She is my child, l will talk about her however I like", he yelled and tried to catch Rachel's wrist. "Don't you dare touching her. You don't deserve to touch her", l said and stood in front of her. "Get the fuck out of my house little fag", he shouted and pushed me Rachel out of the house.
