sdiazm16, I appreciated your review ;)
This is a slightly raving chapter. I have a suggestion for your soundtrack: "you found me" by The Fray.

Chapter 20:
Rising Star.
…
Wedding day (2012)
Rachel is now or never…
From Rachel: Where are you?
Everything happened really fast. She wanted to wait Quinn. Finn was eager to get married. Her dads wanted her to give up. Her friends were impatient.
Bridal bouquet in hand; she decided to carry on with the ceremony.
But she heard her phone buzzing.
From Quinn: On my way
"It's Quinn… she is coming…" She smiles and hugs Finn.
"So, we can go now?"
It was when she started feeling weird. Her hands got cold.
"Wait…"
"What's wrong?"
"We need to wait for her; she said she was on her way…"
"Rach…" Finn whines.
"I'll wait her!" She raises her voice.
Everybody looks at her. She starts pacing on the room.
She suddenly feels dizzy.
Puck's phone rings.
"Yes Ms. Fabray I…"
Rachel gasps when Puck pronounces that name. She freezes, her eyes wide open.
"What?!" Puck cries out.
She gets pale.
"I'll be there…" He hangs up.
After that everything was madness because somehow they all could feel that something was wrong:
"What is wrong Puck?"
"Puck?"
"It's Quinn… she…she…"
"Puck?"
"Dios mío! You better spit it out! You're starting to worry us…"
"She was in an accident… she… I need to go to the hospital…"
Minutes ago…
Her phone is buzzing; she has a new text.
From Rachel: Where are you?
She wasn't exactly willing to be in this wedding; she doesn't know why, maybe it's because: duh! Rachel is not even eighteen yet! (thinking about it, why her dads didn't step in? she knows they do anything Rachel wants but still…). What is going on with her? She has been always so focused on her career; true, she has been always crazy about him… him… always him…
God! I'm on my way… so what, they can't wait?
So she was driving and texting. Rachel, she was texting Rachel.
From Quinn: on my way
She clearly didn't see the red traffic signal.
Definitively, driving at high speed and texting at the same time wasn't a good idea.
Suddenly everything was black.
Until…
The strangest thing happened…
"I have to see my daughter!"
"Mrs. Fabray, your daughter is in the operating room, please calm down."
"How can I possibly calm down?!"
"What's going on?"
Puck walks toward Judy, Santana and Brittany right behind him.
"Puck…"
"Where is she?"
"She is…" She starts crying and he holds her.
Moments later, they are all there. The whole group gathered at the hospital reception. They surrounded the trio searching for news. Brittany was holding her girlfriend tight or else Santana would fall as Puck started speaking.
Rachel heard his words at first but then her head started spinning.
"It's my fault…" She says weakly.
Santana quickly turns to face her.
"Sure as hell it is!"
Brittany wasn't expecting her movement so she isn't fast enough. In seconds Santana is inches from Rachel.
"You fucking selfish stupid bitch!"
The boys step in. Mike holds her just in time, Sam helping.
"Santana, just calm down…" Mr. Shue says sadly.
"No, let me go!" She yells.
"San, you can't hurt Rachel, Quinn won't like it…" Brittany whispers in her ear.
It wasn't the first time that Brittany suggested that Quinn may have some kind of crush on Rachel. The first time was after the "I'm not that into that" occurrence.
Maybe it is the way Rachel is looking at her, it's not like New York, that day Rachel was guilty and scared of her; but now, it seems she is not even there or maybe is because Santana is a mess, emotionally shaken; she just shrugs and takes a deep breath.
"If she…"
Rachel lifts her face and glares at the Latina; Santana can see the fire in her eyes.
"She won't." She says firmly. "She can't…" Rachel walks backwards and crumbles down on the seat. "She can't…" She starts crying copiously.
They all watch as she falls apart, tears streaming down her face.
"Quinn…"
She whispers to herself.
All Black. The wedding. Her face. Rachel. Ambulance's noise.
Then nothing.
"I'm on my way… I have to…" She says weakly. "I have to…"
She opens her eyes. What weird…
She is standing in front of her car. She can see herself and there is a man on her side; he smiles at her.
Is she dead? She sees her paralyzed body and hears the ambulance coming;
"Why?"
She asks the man in white because now she knows who he is.
"Am I dead?"
The paramedics start doing the first aid measures.
She pays attention in everything they are doing to her when another weird thing happened; she hears a song in her head:
I found God
On the corner of First and Amistad
Where the West
Was all but won
All alone
Smoking his last cigarette
I said, "Where you been?"
He said, "Ask anything"
The paramedics put her body in the gurney.
She turns to the man and sings to him with tears in her eyes.
Where were you
When everything was falling apart?
All my days
Were spent by the telephone
It never rang
And all I needed was a call
That never came
To the corner of First and Amistad
They put the gurney into the ambulance and she enters too.
"Come on! We're losing her!"
A man prepares the defibrillator.
"Clear!"
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me
"Clear!"
He keeps the defibrillation. Quinn watches as they try to keep her alive.
The ambulance arrives at the hospital.
She walks side by side with the gurney until the operating room.
She stood in the doorway still looking at herself.
Then she turns around and walks through the hallway until she reaches the reception. They are all there, even a beautiful bride. Rachel is sitting, she is crying copiously. Quinn goes toward her and sits by her side. She looks around to find everybody staring at the broken brunette on her side. She looks at Rachel again. She wants to talk to her but she can't, Rachel isn't even seeing her. She sees the man in white again.
"Am I going to see them again? Am I going to see her again?"
"It's up to you…"
She stares at Rachel fondly but at the same time sadly.
"I want to see her again… but… but…" She sighs.
But in the end
Everyone ends up alone
Losing her
The only one who's ever know
Who I am, who I'm not
And who I want to be
No way to know
How long she will be next to me
Finn kneels in front of her fiancée, he holds her chin and Rachel looks up. They lock their gazes for a moment and then he kisses her forehead.
Quinn runs away, she wants to get out of there.
"You need to fight…" The man says behind her.
"No…"
"Quinn…"
She turns to him and sings again.
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me
Somehow she ends up on the rooftop of a tall building;
The sun is rising.
She goes toward the edge and looks down; once again the man is on her side. She closes her eyes and tears stream down her face.
Early morning
The city breaks
And I've been calling for years
And years, and years, and years
And you never left me no messages
And you never sent me no letters
You got some kind of nerve
Taking all that I want
She looks down at her hand and now she is holding a picture of Beth, but it flies with the wind. She looks down again but this time to the edge.
"You have to fight…"
"No…"
"But she loves you…"
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Where were you? Where were you?
"Ma-ma…"
"Beth? Oh my God!" The man smiles at her. "What are you doing here?"
Quinn turns around then she takes baby Beth and hugs her. She hears someone calling her name. She puts Beth down.
"Go to your mom Beth…"
She goes toward the edge again. She looks behind and Beth is in her mother's lap.
"You have to fight…"
"Too late…" She opens her arms and closes her eyes.
"Quinn!" She hears a familiar voice calling her.
"I'm here Quinn; with you; But you have to fight!" The man says again.
She shakes her head and keeps singing.
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me
Why'd you have to wait
To find me? To find me?
"She loves you…"
Quinn looks behind.
"I know and now she is with her mo…"
The man smiles at her, and disappears. Quinn looks at the woman carefully.
"Rachel?"
"Quinn, what are you doing? I was looking for you…"
"Rachel?"
"Yes…"
"What are you doing with Beth?"
"We're here for you, I'm so glad I found you…"
Quinn smiles and walks toward the two girls.
"You found me…"
She opens her eyes to find an eager Judy Fabray.
"Quinnie? Oh my God! Nurse! Nurse! Oh sweetie… Your mother is here; It's okay now…"
Present time…
There was a time in the past that she really wanted to have a sister; she even wrote a song about what it was like to be an only child. She knows that growing up in a home like the Fabray's forced Quinn to hide her emotions and weaknesses even to her family; she knows that the Fabrays are reserved people. But she'd rather wholeheartedly that Quinn's relationship with her sister was different. Maybe she wouldn't have taken some bad decisions.
Having unprotected sex with Puck for example; but Beth is a blessing and Rachel knows that Quinn has no regrets. Moreover, sleeping with Noah was not the only bad decision of her life; Ryan Seacrest's tattoo?
But Rachel isn't concerned, because if there's one thing she has learned over the years is that this kind of thing are not definitive. Back to sophomore year she would never imagine that she'd be Quinn's friend, let alone that years later she would be sleeping in her bed with her and Beth. She has a feeling that the two sisters are still going to get along. Frannie seems to be the kind of person who is not seduced so easily. She is Quinn's sister after all.
Rachel looks at her girlfriend and smiles. She gets out of bed.
She goes downstairs expecting to find Judy but she finds Frannie instead.
"Morning, I just… I'm going back…" Rachel starts leaving.
"Don't be silly, I don't bite…" Frannie arches an eyebrow in a very Quinn way. "That's up to my sis; I suppose…"
Rachel chokes. Is Frannie teasing her?
"Coffee?" She says cynically.
"Sure,"
"I'm not like that all the time…"
"Like what?" Rachel sits.
"Like a bitch, I'm not… you know her, right? So you probably know the way we were raised?"
Rachel nods.
"I just wanted you to know that I'm not like him,"
"But…" Rachel trails off.
"There's no but… I confess I was a little jealous about Quinn and mom,"
"You don't have to be jealous, Judy loves you too…"
"I know," She sighs. "Quinn said that they got close after the accident, and I… I had this nightmare last night, she was there again…"
The singer shudders on her seat.
"At the hospital… I've been such a terrible sister… well, I am a terrible sister…"
"You're not; and that was my fault…"
Frannie stares at her. She gets thoughtful.
"Your wedding?"
"Yes…" She sighs soundly.
"Sorry, I didn't want to make you uncomfortable."
"No, it's okay, you should probably hate me for that…"
"Yes, I should, but as I said, I'm not the sister of the year… How old were you?"
They smile at each other breaking the tension. The singer giggles and shakes her head. She was really very young.
"Believe me, my age was not the only wrong thing in that wedding."
"It's kind of romantic if you think about it, you now, she stopped you…"
"I don't think that being hit by a truck could be classified as a romantic act… and I'm pretty sure that that was not her intention…"
"I don't know… she has always been a bit extreme in her methods, I mean, this house was a real drag; her pregnancy helped mom to get hid of dad…"
"I don't think she planned that… homeless, sixteen and pregnant…"
"Yeah…"
"I've always thought she was a strong person; I could never imagine that I would be responsible for one of the biggest tragedies of her life… She was so helpless, vulnerable, I just wanted her to wake up and yell at me… I just needed to see her, but I wasn't family; Santana's dad is a doctor…"
Frannie nods at her.
Flashback:
"Are you sure? I'm not her family…"
"Just go, and Berry, you might want to sing to her, you know, maybe she gets annoyed and wakes up just to shut your mouth…"
"I'd give anything for her to yell at me again…"
Santana holds back her emotions.
"Just go…"
Rachel walks towards the girl. She takes her hand very carefully as it could break at the slightest contact.
"Hi," she breaths slowly. "I'm probably the last person in the world you want to see; I just want to say… that I… I… I'm sorry… Quinn, I'm sorry… I can't…"
She caresses Quinn's hand.
"You're so beautiful you know? Please come back to us; we love you… I… we're friends right?"
She lets out a melancholic grunt.
"You probably don't want to be my friend anymore, I mean, I almost killed you…" She starts crying. "I almost killed you Quinn… you have no idea…"
She cries hard.
"Sorry, I won't bother you anymore… I just want you to know that I'm sorry…" She takes a deep breath. "I care about you and I'm here… for you; of course you have your family, and Puck and Santana and Brittany, we're barely friends now… and I already ruined everything, I'm unbelievable… I'll never get it right, right?"
She looks at the injured girl and sighs.
What have I done
Wish I could run
Her voice is smother.
Away from this ship going under
Just trying to help
Hurt everyone else
Now I feel the weight of the world
Is on my shoulders
She sobs and wipes her tears as more of it keeps streaming from her eyes.
What can you do
When your good isn't good enough
And all that you touch tumbles down
Cause my best intentions
Keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take
Oh how many times will it take
For me to get it right
To get it right
Now:
"It's funny, I never told it to anyone, not even to her… seeing her back was enough…"
"I know…"
"You're here,"
Quinn embraces her from behind and kisses her cheek. Rachel tries to wipe her tears quickly but Quinn notices.
"Were you crying?" She turns to her sister and glares at her fiercely. "What did you say to her?"
"No… huh… she didn't, I just…"
"You try to be a better person…" Frannie pretends to be hurt.
"Why were you crying then?"
"I'm a very emotional person, you know that…" She smiles at the older sister.
"I do…"
She nods and looks at Frannie but she is still suspicious. She then gets close to her girlfriend to press their lips together but Rachel moves away just in time.
"Is Beth still asleep?"
"Yes…" Quinn frowns.
"Hi girls! Good morning!" Judy walks in the kitchen.
"Morning Judy!"
"Morning Judy!" Frannie teases her mother.
The two other Fabrays glare at her.
"You guys are not fun… Rachel, you may have noticed that I'm the funniest person in this family…" Quinn rolls her eyes.
"I know what you mean… among my siblings I'm the funniest…"
"You're an only child…"
"I'm still the funniest…" She says mockingly.
Frannie bursts out in laugh.
"I fell in love with the wrong sister… See Quinn? She laughs of my jokes…"
"Yeah but… Have you seen my abs?" She arches her eyebrow and Rachel blushes, her cheeks burning with embarrassment.
"Quinn!" Judy reprimands.
"Sorry…"
"I'm not out of shape if that's what you're suggesting…" Frannie says outraged.
"Not at all…"
"I'm not!"
"Okay, tomorrow morning, you, me, jogging; try and beat me… if you can…"
"Why not today?" She disdains.
"I'm feeling lazy and I'm hungry…"
Rachel giggles.
"Was this an indirect remark?" Judy questions her young daughter.
"It was pretty much direct…"
Judy shakes her head still smiling. "So, when are you two leaving?"
"Tired of us already mom?"
The older Fabray ignores her daughter.
"I have to go tomorrow…" Rachel states.
"You don't have to…"
"Yes I do…"
"Rach, you can go with me on Thursday…"
"Baby, I have to go home then I have to go to Las Vegas…"
"Why do you have to go to Las Vegas?"
"Billboards…" They both say at the same time.
"Wow, mom we do have a celebrity in our kitchen…"
"Anyway, you're only flying on friday; so you're staying…"
"Quinn, I can't, I'll meet with Brian on Thursday."
"Just cancel…"
"Just like that?"
"MmHm…" The actress smiles hopefully.
"I'll think about it…"
"It'll help if I show you my abs?" She smirks at her girlfriend.
"Okay enough…" Frannie says annoyed. "it's not that big of a deal…"
"Yeah… it is not…" Rachel lamely tried to disdain.
"Oh Really?" Quinn whispers in her ear.
"And you Frannie?" Rachel ignores her girlfriend. "You're staying too?"
"Maybe, if mom wants me here…"
"Don't be silly Fran, of course I do…" Judy gets close to her older daughter and kisses her cheek. Quinn smirks at her sister.
"What?"
"Nothing…"
"Stop teasing your sister." Rachel nudges her girlfriend's ribs.
"Since when you are Frannie's advocate?" She receives Rachel's glare.
"Hi…" Beth enters in the kitchen.
"Hi! Good morning beautiful!" Quinn embraces her daughter and kisses her head.
"Hi Beth, Good morning…" Frannie tries out.
Beth searches for Rachel's eyes as she wants her approval and the singer nods happily.
"Good morning… aunt?"
"Sure," Frannie smiles at the blonde girl.
"What do you want Beth?"
"She is gonna eat my cereal mom…"
"Mama…" Beth whines.
"Quinn…"
"What? Rach… Is healthier…"
"What you're going to eat?"
"I'll eat it too…"
"Yeah sure…" Rachel rolls her eyes. "By the way, you're just missing school today, okay?"
"Okay…" Beth pouts.
"Why were you crying? And why you refused my kiss?"
Quinn asks straightway as soon as they went to the backyard's lounge chairs and sat to bake in the sun while Beth is in the pool.
"I wasn't…"
"Okay, now there are three questions…"
"What?" Rachel gets confused.
"Why are you lying to me?"
Rachel squirms on the chair.
"It really was nothing…"
"I still want to know…"
"About the kiss, I think we have to slow down with the affections, you know…"
"Because of her?"
"I want to respect her … you grew up here too baby, you know how she feels…"
"Yeah and my best friend was a lesbian… Santana…"
Rachel giggles.
"Still… about the crying… we were talking about her, she had a nightmare last night, about your…" She trails off. "Your accident…"
"Rach…"
"I think she really wants to get close to you, you know, and Judy too of course…"
"That's great…"
"You should give her a chance…"
"I will, but baby…"
"She is your sister…"
"Rach, just stop…"
Rachel looks at her.
"I want to ask you something, stop blaming yourself…"
The singer sighs and looks away.
"Rach, look at me, I'm serious, just stop, how many times do I have to say it was not your fault?"
"I know…"
"No, you don't… I should be paying attention to the road, it was a mistake and I learned my lesson, that's it, it was not your fault or that stupid wedding for the matter…"
Rachel presses her lips together trying not to laugh.
"I just wanted to be there for you Rachel, but God had other plans for me…"
She giggles.
"What?" Rachel smiles at her.
"I was so focused on my task that… when I woke up, the first thing I asked mom was about the wedding but she said she didn't know then San came to visit me and I asked…"
Flashback:
"You look terrible…"
"Terrible but sexy?"
"No, just terrible." Santana teases her friend.
"You're not terrible Quinn, you're still super hot in my dreams…"
"O-kay… thanks B… How was the wedding?"
"Really Q? do you really wanna know about that stupid wedding?"
"Well, I promised Rachel that I'd be there… and I…"
"And you got hit by a fucking truck!"
"San…" Brittany reprimands her.
"It's not her fault that I'm…"
"Here in this hospital?"
"Yeah…"
"Everything went okay,"
Santana gets confused.
"I mean, you didn't want her to marry… but you really should have waited the Speak now or forever shut your mouth part…"
"What?" Quinn questions the other blonde.
"You mean Speak now or forever hold your peace B?"
"Whatever, it's the same, Rachel didn't marry…"
"Rachel what?"
Quinn face lights up with a big smile.
"She didn't marry…"
Now:
"Your stupid grin lighting up the whole fucking room that day was my first hint…"
"Girls!" Rachel smiles at the two visitors.
"What you're talking about?" Quinn questions her.
"That you were in love with her… despite your big denial…"
"You couldn't know back then… I didn't know…"
"We all knew…" Brittany says casually.
"We?"
"I knew since New York's nationals,"
"New York?" Quinn is surprised.
"I'm not that into that…" Brittany teases.
"Oh… thinking about it; I don't know why I thought that…"
"Because we're fucking hot…" Santana sits on one of the chairs.
"I'm not following you guys…" Rachel complains.
"Of course you're not… you were flirting with Finno… Finn"
Rachel narrows her eyes at her.
"Anyway, Santana started suspecting after the accident but only after senior prom she was convinced, Kurt was the last…"
"Since when?" Rachel shouts as Brittany sits too.
"He only suspected about Quinn; it was after the metro pass, Kurt always thought that your feelings were just friendly, he really believed that if you had some kind of feelings for Quinn, you'd tell him…"
The singer sighs. "He was right somehow…"
"But I convinced him that this wasn't a one sided thing; I told him that maybe you weren't ready to come out; he said I was being ridiculous because you have two dads and all that crap… Anyway, we've just got sure when you guys started dating girls of course… especially when those girls were so similar to yourselves…"
Quinn is puzzled.
"Don't tell me you hadn't noticed that Alex is the less attractive but equally annoying version of Rachel?" Santana teases.
"And Veronica is so like Quinn!" Brittany says excited.
"She has bigger boobs though…" The Latina says matter of factly.
"So, you're telling me that you knew? You knew about her feelings for me and my feelings for her?"
The sarcastic brunette nods full of pride.
"And yet… you fucked her…" Rachel says annoyed.
"Rach…"
"Will you ever get over that?" Santana rolls her eyes.
"Maybe…" Rachel crosses her arms childlike.
"Are you guys coming today?" Beth shouts from the pool.
"My baby is calling…" Quinn stands up and walks toward the pool.
"Hey guys…" Frannie gets close to them.
"Hey Frannie!" Brittany greets her happily.
"Hi," Santana is little bit less courteous.
"You're not in your swimsuit?" Rachel asks her.
"Are you kidding me? I have four hot supermodels on my pool, I'm not gonna wear my bikini…"
"Are you sure you're straight?"
"Santana!" Quinn shouts at her.
"What?" Santana replies feigning innocence.
"I'm definitely not a super model…" Rachel states.
"Yeah Right…"
Frannie checks out Rachel's legs and Santana notices of course.
"Definitely not straight…I bet you had your adventures in college…"
The older Fabray sister blushes.
"Oh my God! You totally had!"
"It was just a kiss…"
Brittany smirks, Rachel eyes go wide and Quinn is perplexed.
"You what?!" The young sister starts laughing. "Oh my God…"
"It wasn't a big deal…"
"Here we go girls!" Judy approaches them with lemonades glasses.
"I really hope you have vodka in it… you know, today is the day that you might find out that you don't have one gay daughter, you have two…"
"I'm not gay!"
"I know sweetie…" Judy smirks. "You more like an asexual…"
Santana and Quinn burst out in laugh. Rachel tries to hold back and Brittany is a little confused.
Santana stops laughing for a moment. "It means she doesn't like sex baby…"
Brittany melts; her girlfriend knows her so well.
"But what is the fun in that? That's pretty sad actually; with girl or boy sex is great..."
"Thanks for the information… I'll keep that in mind…" Frannie turns around. "I'll get the vodka…"
Quinn refused to drink because of Beth differently of the other two Fabrays and Santana. Rachel was supportive and Brittany had to drive them back home.
The night fell, Brittany and Santana left and it didn't take long for them to fall sleep.
Early in the morning they were awake. Beth had school and the Fabray's sisters had the jogging.
They ate breakfast and Beth said good bye to Rachel.
Quinn took her to school and once again they had to say good bye.
"So, your mom already called me, she will be home soon; after school she will be there already, okay?"
"Okay," Beth pouts.
"Hey, don't be sad or I'll be sad too…"
The blonde girl smiles at her mother.
"Tomorrow, before I'll go back I'll pass by to say good bye, I promise."
Beth nods and hugs Quinn. "I loved my gift by the way…" She shows her bracelet. "Now you'll be always with me…"
"Bye Frannie…"
"Bye Beth…"
The two sister watch as Beth walks toward the building.
"So, run?" Quinn teases.
"Bring it."
After an hour and half Quinn is parking her car in the garage. They are exhausted.
"Oh… stop whining!" She says as she gets out of the car.
"I'm not, I'm older than you…"
They get inside the house.
"You're twenty eight…"
"Whatever…" the older sister huffs. "I'm still older…"
"Aw, don't be like this… you were great, you can't compete with me…"
"That's my arrogant girlfriend…"
"Hey there, Rachel Berry…"
"I'm not arrogant… I'm confident…"
"Yeah, big difference…"
"It is…" She presses their lips together.
"Shower!" Frannie leaves them.
"I thought you didn't want to kiss me in front of her…"
"That was before… you know, her big gay kiss…"
Quinn giggles.
"So, Shower?" Quinn arches her eyebrow suggestively.
"I already took a shower… thanks…"
"Oh! Okay… you just lost your chance to get lucky…"
"Is that so?"
"You won't have this body or this abs…"
She lifts her shirt up.
"You wouldn't dare… "
The blonde chuckles evilly.
"You won't resist me…"
"Honey," She presses her mouth on Rachel's ear. "I'm Quinn Fabray…" She says with her husky voice and Rachel moans. "You're about to know everything about the teasing…"
"Two can play this game baby…"
"Show me what you got… I'll be upstairs; I really need a shower…"
A very cold shower…
They spent the whole day teasing each other. Hiram and Leroy arrived in the beginning of the night. They had dinner together; Frannie, just like her sister and her mother got charmed by the two men. The Berrys said good bye and they insisted that they are going to the airport the next day.
After the short version of her night routine, Rachel went to bed; completely naked of course.
"I'm hot…" She says cynically.
"It's not gonna work…"
"What?"
"Rachel, I made this game…"
"Ugh!"
Rachel turns around and covers herself.
"Night love…"
"Whatever…"
After a few moments of thinking…
"Screw it! I want you!" She pulls Rachel closer and presses their bodies together; then she starts sucking her girlfriend's neck.
"What made you change your mind?"
"I just realized that I used to say that crap about teasing because I couldn't have you on my bed… and look that! You're here on my bed and so very naked…"
"And so very hot for you; what you're going to do baby?"
"I'm going to fuck you all night long…"
She did. And they almost lost their flight next day.
They couldn't avoid the little frenzy they caused when they arrived in L.A. even though they weren't alone. Santana and Brittany were with them.
Friday arrived and she traveled to Las Vegas. As they had decided before the faberry cat occurrence, Quinn didn't go.
But Rachel had to bypass the compromising questions at the blue carpet.
"Quinn is fine…"
She answered one of them.
"Yeah, I was visiting my mother…"
She technically wasn't hiding anymore but that doesn't mean she will be exposed so abruptly. She still wants to be discreet.
Rachel took a few more pictures on the blue carpet:
The Knee Bend;
The Mermaid: crossing one foot in front of the other;
The look over the shoulder;
And then she headed for the awards. She had to perform.
At the end of the night she went home with four awards.
Pop Artist of the Year;
Female Artist of the Year;
Billboard 200 Album of the Year;
Rising Star Award.
"I'm here!"
She screams from her bedroom and before long Quinn reaches the room.
"Congrats! My rising star!" Quinn jumps onto bed.
"Thank you baby…"
They press their lips together in a quick kiss.
"I'll be right back…"
Quinn stands up takes Rachel's hand and kiss its back in a very fond way.
Rachel sighs.
"What?"
"Nothing…"
The blonde goes towards the bathroom. The singer smiles from ear to ear.
It wasn't just about bad memories after all.
Flashback:
"Hi guys, sorry about the wedding…"
"You don't have to apologize, Quinn, you're here because…" She sobs.
"Hey, I'm okay…"
Finn holds her and Quinn frowns.
"We need to be strong Rach, remember?"
Rachel nods.
"How are you Quinn?"
"I'm fine thanks Finn…"
They get uncomfortable.
"I'll let you guys talk…"He leans and kiss her head then he leaves.
"I'm really sorry Quinn… I…"
"Rachel please, don't do that…" She smiles at the brunette. "I heard that you sang to me, Santana said that that made me wake up faster…"
Rachel giggles.
"What did you sing?"
"uh… keep holding on…"
Quinn nods. "I like this song…"
"Quinn… I need to say something…"
"Sure…"
They stare at each other.
"Hey Quinnie I'm back…" Judy enters in the room. "Hi, you're Rachel right?"
"Yes… I'm leaving actually; I'll give you two privacy…"
"What did you want to tell me?"
"We are all waiting for you, we care about you Quinn…"
She holds the blonde's hand.
"I hope we're still friends…"
"Of course we are silly…"
Rachel smiles her big smile and makes Quinn feels warmed.
"Bye…" Rachel caresses her hand with her thumb and when she is about to release the blonde's hand, Quinn lifts their joined hands and kisses the back of Rachel's hand in a very fond way.
"Bye…"
Now:
"I sang "get it right"…"
Rachel says as soon as the actress leaves the bathroom.
"What?"
"When you were unconscious; I said to you that I sang "Keep holding on""
Quinn sits on the bed.
"But I sang "get it right""
"So you lied to me?"
"Pretty much…"
They laugh.
"I love you…"
Quinn says and before long she pulls Rachel closer pressing their lips together into a passionate kiss.
"Make love to me then…" Rachel says after she regained air.
"You don't have to ask…"
How was it? too crazy?
