For the past three weeks, each day Quinn sat outside Rachel's room door. Each day she would bring something to entertain herself, while waiting for the day the brunette would open the door. While Quinn sat in front of Rachel's door, she would bring up things in the news, new songs released from various artists, new movies, anything recent going on hoping she would at least get one opinion from Rachel behind the door. But never any success.
Although she never heard a voice, Quinn was unaware of how Rachel sat on the floor, with her side pressed against the door, the spot where Quinn sat right ahead of the object between the and just listened to Quinn's voice. Listened to how soft it was, even when it was slightly muffled from the door being shut. She listened to the slight chuckle Quinn sometimes made as she spoke of some movie trailers she had seen and gave her honest opinion on them, how interesting or non-interesting they appeared to her.
With just the simplest things, Quinn's voice calmed Rachel down; gave her a sense of things would be okay, that she could trust Quinn. That's what terrified her. She didn't like feeling so ready to open up to a stranger, when more than half of the strangers in her life before all left her, breaking her into more pieces when she thought she couldn't break anymore. She had quickly taught herself to expect the worst, so Quinn staying outside a door for three weeks and not getting annoyed with Rachel once for not opening up the door, Rachel didn't know how to feel. She didn't want to put a bad or good label on Quinn, She couldn't. Her heart wouldn't let the blonde she's seen for only a second be labeled as an enemy in her head.
Quinn brought up many topics while sitting outside Rachel's door everyday. She would switch subjects when she ran out of her opinions on the matter and knew she wasn't going to get a reaction out of Rachel, but with so many things already said, Quinn was running out of things to bring up. The news was always the usual and Quinn always leaves out any murders or death stories from the news out of her talks with Rachel. She needed to figure out a way to get Rachel to just open the door a crack, to hear her voice for once instead of just hearing her own.
So when the blonde pushed the glass door open and walked into the rehab, she half smiled to Brittany and Santana. In return the brighter blonde gave a wide smile while Santana have a more sympathetic one.
Quinn walked across the room, taking a few steps past the front desk before she stopped, and turned on her heels, walking right up to the desk. She placed her elbows on the desk and folded her arms on it, leaning forward, she looked between the blonde and brunette. At this action, Brittany and Santana glanced at each other, both giving off a worried look before they turned back to Quinn. Quinn bit her lip, she looked down at the desk before she heard Santana call her name.
"Quinn?" The blonde immediately looked up to meet Santana's worried eyes. Quinn simply nodded in Santana's direction, silently telling her to continue. "You're not going to...give up...are you?" Quinn leaned back, surprised at Santana's question. with each passing second of silence Santana and Brittany both got more nervous. They hoped for a 'no' but heard so many 'yeses' before, it's kind of what they now expected.
"No." Quinn shook her head, and bother girls sitting let out a breath they didn't even realize they were holding in. "I don't plan on ever giving up." Brittany smiled brightly again.
"Wonderful! You're really helping the girl!" Brittany clapped her hands together three times, her excitement clearly shown, Santana couldn't help but smile at the blue eyed blonde's enthusiasm. Quinn frowned.
"That's the thing" Quinn leaned forward again, raising her right arm onto its elbow and placed her chin in her hand. Her left hand fingers tapped on the desk. "I can't even get her to open up the door, how could I ever be helping her? If anything, I'm failing big time!" Her left hand rose and she gestured toward the hallway where Rachel's room was. "It's been three weeks"
"Hey, I warned you the hobbit was a difficult one" Hazel eyes flicked to Santana, who just shrugged.
"Don't call her hobbit" Quinn mumbled.
"She's been out of her room more" Brittany stated and Quinn instantly turned to her, picking up her head off her hand, she stared at the blonde. "She even steps out of her room to get her own food now"
"She leaves her room?" Quinn questioned, dropping her right arm onto the desk again. Her eyes moved back to the Latina as she nodded.
"You wouldn't believe how many times we tried to get her out of room, but she never budged from bed. Quinn nodded slowly at Santana's words, she licked her lips before sliding her arms off the front desk. Brittany checked her watch, a slow smile spreading on her face as she looked up at Quinn.
"It looks like their food is just being handed out now, if you hurry you might catch her outside for once" Brittany smiled wide at Quinn as Quinn's hazel eyes widened, and without even a "talk to you later" Quinn, jogged down the hall way. Down the hall, through the open door she could see patients gather around picking up trays of food and walking away. Walking down the hall, she smiled when approaching Rachel's door. Open. Finally.
Kay I know this chapter is like uber short but it's also almost midnight and I'm supposed to wake up early tomorrow so you all better feel special that I stayed up this long to just post this for you all. Do you love me yet? If you don't. You should. Rachel's door is open. score for Quinn, no?
Em - Even if this is short, I hope I did well with this chapter too? I actually like it so I hope you do as well, And you just became so awesome just for stating that because you want to hit Finn so early in the story that you know it's going to be great. That is the best thing I've ever heard so far!
- Super Fabray is on her way to sneaking into Rachel's room without her even knowing, I think that counts this as a happy chapter right? There was no hurt feelings...well except for a bit of Quinn's doubting but I don't count that...and neither should you! As for Quinn kicking Finn's ass?..We'll see ;)
rainbowbright108 - We're getting close to Rachel opening up to Quinn, finally, so yay! And I'm the writer and I can't wait to write Finn getting busted as much as you can't wait to read about it, and now that I know that you love Brittana, I'll be adding more scenes of them, and make sure they have some sweet moments and stuff just for you! And Santana ended up there by...let's just say that, as tough as she seems, she really isn't. Her story is going to unfold along with Rachel's in the story too, so look forward to that!
Parawhoreforlife - I updated. I know what's good for me :) aha! P.S Thanks for forgiving me!
louseverine - There's three chapters now, how are you feeling about it now? I don't know about my writing being beautiful, I mean I still thing I still suck at some parts and they irritate me, very much, but I agree broken Rachel is very fascinating. I think I like her very much, but I like it even more when a broken Rachel gets fixed, don't you?
snowdrop1026 - It's not weird, because I wrote this whole chapter while listening to that song because you suggested it! So feel special, cause i always need music while I write so you got me to post this along with all these people and their wonderful reviews like yours :) And would it be proper is Quinn didn't stay true to Rachel? That's not like the Quinn is see in my head at all, Rachel just takes Quinn's heart so much that Quinn wouldn't dare turning her back on her heart. And I can promise you Finn will get caught, Although he hasn't shown up for two chapters, I'm still aware of his unwanted existence. and You're welcome, and your reason behind your url is even cuter than the url itself, considering I also love snow, i approve so much! And you're amazing for calling me Bieb. That is all 1026...that makes you sound like an agent :D
CR00 - And now the girls will be in the same room finally! And I see Rachel's character like this too, this is why she was perfect for when I first thought of this story. And I won't make this a too dark fanfic but it's defiantly not going to be a super one, so I hope you love me as an author then :D And I shall castrate him!
LupitaTequila13 - Third chapter, hope you love the story more now :)
Faberritanalover21 - I have no idea how you found this story but I'm glad that you did if you love it :)
Guest - Well so far, this is how far it goes, to Quinn finally entering Rachel's room, hope I got you excited for the next chapter now where they actually talk face to face!
HannahWilliam33 - I UPDATED! And no worries, I usually wait a week before wanting to post again cause I want to make sure people who follow my stories get the chance to read it [AND REVIEW] before I post again and start answering people and stuff :)
