A/N: I had to think of a good song for Quinn to audition with and then I came across Arianna Grande's cover of Die in Your Arms by Justin Beiber and basically awestruck. Here's the link: /watch?v=ewnhncpo64o (just put youtube in front) Check it out!

6:45 p.m.
Quinn tapped her foot impatiently as Coach grilled her over bringing a girl to try out this late in the season.
"Be happy I anticipated this Q and already read her file. Tell the giraffe over there that I'll have her uniform tomorrow."
Felling she was dismissed Quinn quickly ran over to where Brittany sat in the bleachers trying to ignore Santana, "You're in Brittany, she'll have your uniform ready tomorrow morning in her office."
Suddenly engulfed by the bubbly blonde Quinn tried to steady herself before she fell.
"Thanks a lot Quinn and good luck with Rachel later." Brittany gave Quinn a wink and ran off towards the parking lot."
Santana watched Brittany run away, "Ok what is wrong with her? I didn't even get a bye or anything."
Quinn laughed at how childish her friend was acting, "Maybe if you stopped annoying her with your flirting she would actually like you."
Santana glared at Quinn and stood up off the bleachers, "Whatever tubers. What exactly am I supposed to do while you're having your date with Rachel in my room?"
"Get over yourself and go be a good co-captain and ask Brittany if you can help her with the routines over at her house. Just be sincere about it without any flirting and she might agree."
With that last statement, Quinn hurriedly rushed towards the locker room, glancing down at her cell phone. Shit its 7 o'clock already?
Quinn grabbed her school stuff out her gym locker and jogged to her car quickly getting in and checking her phone.
'Hey Quinn, its Rachel. Britt said you were still at McKinley are we still on for 7:30? If you're busy that's okay…'
Quinn quickly responded to Rachel's text:
'I'm finished and about to leave just waiting for Santana. Can you do me a favor though?'
Santana finally joined Quinn in their car trying to read Quinn's phone, "Watcha doin Q?"
Quinn closed her phone, "Trying to see if I can get you some one on one with Brittany since you were too chicken to go after her earlier."
Santana looked frustrated, "She was already driving away with Berry, and you didn't expect me to run after a car did you? Damn."
Quinn smirked, "You can act like you don't care San, but I see right through your façade."
Santana took a deep breath, "Okay maybe I do like her a little bit, but did you see those moves earlier? It's just a physical attraction that's it."
Quinn snickered, "Sure it is San."
Quinn felt her phone vibrate in her lap.
'Ok. Let me guess, Santana has nothing to do and you're wondering if Britt will keep her company?'
Damn. She's good, thought Quinn. Her phone vibrated again.
'Britt told me how Santana flirted with her earlier, and as long as Santana keeps it strictly friendly Britt says she can come over.'
'Okay, thanks Rachel. See you soon.'
(Arriving at the Lopez residence)
7:15
Quinn flew through the front door and up the stairs, stripping down as fast as she could and jumping into the shower. Quinn quickly shampooed her hair and used her favorite body wash to cleanse her body.
7:30
The doorbell ring and Santana shouted from the other bathroom, "Someone's at the door Quinn!"
Quinn dried her hair as quickly as she could and wrapped a towel securely around her body. Running down the steps and looking through the peephole, Quinn saw Rachel standing on the porch.
She cracked the door open and Rachel's eyes darted to the towel on Quinn's body.
"I'm sorry- just you said 7:30 and-" Rachel stuttered out trying to avoid watching the water droplets disappearing in between Quinn's breast.
"Don't apologize it's my fault." Quinn opened the door a little more so Rachel could get by.
"You can wait down here while I get dressed upstairs. Feel free to get some water or a snack while you're down here."
Rachel watched Quinn's long muscular legs ascend up the stairs and wiped her suddenly sweaty palm on her jeans. Rachel tried to focus on the reason she was really here, and went over some lyrics in her mind trying to pass the time.
About 5 minutes later Quinn came down the steps dressed in a cheerios hoodie and some ridiculously short gym shorts, "I'm just gonna grab a water and then we can go upstairs and practice."
Rachel nodded silently and stood up from her seat on the couch, following Quinn up the stairs when she returned with water.
Both girls stopped in front of a door decorated with various music symbols and song lyrics, "Before we go in here, I need to know that anything you see in here won't change your view of me."
Rachel looked straight into Quinn's enticing hazel eyes, "It won't Quinn."
Quinn pushed open the door revealing a room filled with a glossy black grand piano in the middle and various musical instruments lining the walls that also had lyrics painted on them. Rachel followed Quinn over to a comfy looking couch and sat down, placing her cell on the small coffee table in front of her.
Quinn walked over to a desk and picked up a small picture frame running her thumb over the glass. She walked back over to Rachel and sat down beside her, "I wanted to tell you this before anyone else got the chance to tell you at school" Quinn placed the picture into Rachel's hand, "Last year I had a baby, with someone who I didn't even love and got kicked out of my parents' home."
Rachel looked directly at Quinn, "You don't have to tell me this Quinn if you're not ready to,"
"I didn't tell anyone I was pregnant until I almost lost the baby at cheerios practice, and when Santana found out her family took me in. Beth's father offered to help with anything the baby and I needed but I didn't want to give him false hope of us being a family. I was such a bitch to him last year, and I'm glad he forgave me about it and accepted my friendship. I knew that I wasn't ready to support another life and last thing I wanted to do was leave her with a nanny while I was off at school and barely be there for her like my parents, so I found someone to adopt her. I spend my weekends with her but she doesn't know that I'm her birth mother."
Rachel grasped Quinn's hand seeing the insecure and vulnerable look on Quinn's face, "You're such a brave person and you did the right thing."
Quinn wiped a stray tear and smiled weakly at Rachel, "Thanks for listening to me, there's just so much I want to tell you about me and hopefully I will over time. But for now we should practice for glee."
Rachel watched Quinn take a seat at the piano looking so comfortable behind it and moving her finger's with admirable grace.
"I thought about singing something I wrote, but I decided on doing a cover of something else."
Rachel walked over to the piano and smiled at Quinn, "We'll I'm waiting to be amazed Miss Fabray."
Quinn smirked at Rachel and started with the opening chords of the song:
( /watch?v=ewnhncpo64o Play link now…)
So you love me
As much as I love you yeah

Don't go, no no no
Quinn softly faded out letting her voice ring out, opening her eyes and trying to keep a smile off her face at Rachel's reaction to her voice.
"So I'm amazed, Not only do you look like an angel but you sing like one too. I don't think you need any tips on how to sing Quinn." Rachel looked at Quinn who was failing at keeping the smirk off her face. "Oh I get it. You just wanted me alone Miss Fabray." Rachel smirked at Quinn who was now sporting a blush.
"Mmmhmm sure I did. Are you sure there's nothing I need to fix?" Quinn said trying to play it cool.
Rachel felt her phone vibrate, "It was great Quinn." Flipping her phone open Rachel saw a text from her Dad.
'We're on our way with some dinner. Be there in 10.'
"Do you have to go?" asked Quinn.
"Yeah in a few minutes, I guess you'll just have to wait to see me sing." Rachel winked at Quinn and stood up.
Quinn quickly stood up off the piano bench, "I could walk you back, it is getting kind of dark out there, you know." Quinn smiled sheepishly at Rachel.
"It's alright with me."
The two walked in silence across the street to Rachel's house and stood awkwardly at Rachel's door, not knowing what to say.
"Do you want to come inside for a little while, Britt and Santana are probably upstairs." Said Rachel softly.
"Okay. Hopefully Santana didn't annoy Brittany to death." Said Quinn.
They went up the stairs silently trying not to give themselves away, and Quinn peeked into Brittany's room.
Quinn whispered to Rachel who was behind her, "It looks like Santana is helping her study, and she's just kind of watching Britt work."
Rachel let out a soft 'awwwww' and poked Quinn's side, "Their so cute."
Quinn turned to face Rachel with a devious smirk on her face, "Let's take a picture and then we should just burst in there."
Rachel nodded and handed Quinn her cell, "I might need this in the future."
Quinn took the pictures and started a countdown on her fingers, on three the two girls jumped into the room with a loud 'Boo!'.
A startled Brittany pushed Santana off her bed causing the Latina to face plant onto the floor, "Oww fuck."
Santana clutched her jaw and opened her eyes glaring at whoever was hovering over her body. Noticing the light blue eyes that were staring at her she softened her glare, "Sorry Britt-britt."
Quinn and Rachel looked to each other wondering how the two in front of them had become so friendly.
Brittany helped Santana up, "No more cursing San or we can't be friends anymore. Now let's go get some ice or maybe a Band-Aid? They make everything better and I have unicorn ones."
Santana smiled, "I'll take the ice Britt."
Santana waited until Brittany was out in the hallway and turned to Rachel and Quinn, "Fuck you two."
Then she walked out the room and went downstairs to Brittany.
The two girls suddenly felt into a fit of laughter and made their way to Rachel's room which had a giant gold star on it.
Quinn laughed, "Please tell me I'm not about to be bombarded by hot pink walls and even more gold stars."
"I'm offended you think that Quinn." Rachel opened the doors to a room that had multiple pictures of New York sights aligned on the wall and signed records hanging up.
"It's very you, Rachel." Quinn walked over to a vanity table that had music sheets scattered across it and picked one up.
"You should perform one of these for glee, Rachel." Turning around, Quinn was met by chocolate brown orbs and lips that were barely an inch away from her very own.
Quinn looked into Rachel's eyes and swallowed nervously, "Thank you for today Quinn, I really enjoyed myself."
Quinn tried not to look down at Rachel's lips, "Me too."
A/N: Cliffhanger anyone? Next chapter will be all about what Brittany and Santana did while Rachel and Quinn were away, and should be done by Friday. Leave me Review's if you guys have any suggestions on what Rachel should sing for glee. Peace!
