Rachel was cooking dinner tonight because Finn was coming over. Her mother was away and she managed to get Noah out of the house. There was only Quinn in the house but she was only there to help Rachel prepare dinner.
"Thanks for this Quinn, You're the best at decorating." Rachel said looking at the table Quinn had done.
"Don't mention it! Plus i love helping Finchel!" Quinn said smiling.
"Finchel?" Rachel asked confused. "Whats Finchel?"
Quinn smiled brightly. "Finn and Rachel equals Finchel."
Rachel burst into laughter. "I actually kinda like that. Finchel." She said smiling out loud. "Its quite cute." She added blushing.
"Well i know its cute, i mean i'm the one who thought of it." Quinn said smirking. "So all of this, whats it for? Is it a special occasion?" She asked curiously.
"Nope." Rachel said looking at the food. "I just have a empty house, a perfect life with the perfect boyfriend."
"Aww that's so sweet." Quinn said walking to Rachel with her arms open. "My best friend is growing up to fast!" She added hugging her. "I have nothing left to teach you naughty popstar."
Rachel pulled out of the hug and laughed at her best friend.
"You're going to do naughty stuff right?" Quinn asked winking.
"Oh we are!" Rachel said slightly blushing.
"Do you have any candles?" Quinn asked looking around the house. "Some scented candles would be perfect to top it of."
"Yeah." Rachel said turning around. "I think i have some vanilla ones in my bedroom."
"Vanilla huh? That's perfect vanilla is an aphrodisiac." Quinn said with a wide grin. "Not that you guys need it." She said raising any eyebrow.
"Quinn!" Rachel shouted.
"What? I'm just saying you guys can be noisy." She added shrugging. "I'm going to go get the candles and then its all set." She added running upstairs.
Rachel blushed and looked down. She expected Quinn to say something like that, but that's why she loved her.
Rachel looked at the clock and frowned. "Quinn? You okay?" She shouted trying to get her friends attention. "The candles should just be on my desk." She added. Quinn was taking ages.
Quinn came down two minutes later handing the candles to Rachel, Rachel looked at her and knew something was wrong.
"Whats wrong?" Rachel asked worried.
"Oh nothing, i was just looking at a picture of you upstairs with your top on saying singing's my life." She shrugged. "I just think it's sad you didn't get accepted to go back to the singing program." She added looking into her friends eyes.
"That's life, it's unfair." Rachel said with a sad smile.
"Right." Quinn said in a sarcastic tone. "I better go." She added walking to the door.
"Quinn? Wait!" Rachel shouted running behind her. "What the hell is wrong with you?"
"We'll talk about this another day, just enjoy you're night because who knows what the future holds." She said shouting then slamming the door.
Rachel was in complete shock, Quinn was never like this! She tried calling her until Finn arrived but she never answered.
It was Monday afternoon and Rachel was still confused and upset because of Quinn. Quinn avoided her all day at school even at cheerleading practice, so she waited after to get her alone.
Quinn avoided her all weekend, she never answered any of her calls ans every time she called at her house she was never in! Rachel couldn't believe the attitude! But she was going to get answers now!
Rachel saw Quinn standing with Britanny, she didn't even like Britanny! But nothing was going to stop her she made her way over to Quinn.
Quinn saw her and rolled her eyes letting out a sigh. This reaction shocked both Rachel and Britanny. Quinn turned around ready to go.
"What is you're fucking problem!" Rachel shouted behind her. "I thought i was worth a little bit more than someone who you just ignore!"
"Whats my problem?" Quinn said walking back to Rachel pointing in her face. "Whats your problem? You're not the girl you used to be!" Quinn screamed.
"What has got into you Quinn?" Rachel asked. "One minute we are fine and having fun and then after you get the candles you go all mad and storm out!" Rachel said shaking her head. "I mean your even avoiding and ignoring me." She added sadly.
"You know what's the problem with keeping secrets Rachel?" Quinn asked rhetorically. "The problem with secrets is even when you think you're in control you're not!" Quinn added sadly. Quinn looked at Rachel for a while then rolled her eyes picking her back up from the floor. "You know what! Never mind." She added she was getting to tired to fight.
"What are you talking about?" Rachel asked confused.
Quinn got even more angrier at this point. "You're singing program! That's what i'm talking about!" She shouted to Rachel. "Aww poor Rachel who didn't get accepted ." Quinn added in a cocky tone. "Oh wait." She added walking up to Rachel. "She did get into it! For the full 3 year!"
"How dare you go through my stuff!" Rachel shouted.
"Oh no! Don't even go their. When i was getting the candles the letter fell out." Quinn said honestly.
Rachel looked down.
"Why did you lie to me Rachel? Why did you tell me you didn't get in?" Quinn said with sadness in her voice.
"Because i didn't want to have to make a choice. Nobody needs to know that i chose Finn over singing." Rachel said finally admitting the truth. "I knew if i told you that you would make me rethink it all, and i didn't want to." She added looking down.
"You what?" Quinn asked with disbelief. "You bet your ass i would of made you rethink." Quinn added seriously. "Come on Rach! Its a singing program."
"Its more complicated than that Q." Rachel said sitting down.
"How? No its not. For as long as i can remember singing was everything." Quinn said looking at her friend with sadness. "It's you're dream and now you're ready to turn you're back on it, for what? A couple of months relationship? This is not the Rachel i know."
"But it's not just any relationship Quinn." Rachel said looking up with tears in her eyes. "It's Finn, my Finn." She sighed. "When i first wake up i think of him and when i go to bed i think of him." She added. "I can't turn my back on him, and if i went we wouldn't survive been 3 years away from each over."
Quinn put a hand on top on Rachel's."If you're so sure why haven't you sent the paper back yet? You didn't refuse the offer Rachel, you have a week left! It's not as easy as it seems huh? To turn your back on one of your oldest dreams."
Tears started to fall down Rachel's cheeks.
Quinn sighed and closed the distance between them and wrapped her arms around Rachel. "Talk to Finn. Tell him about the offer." Quinn said nicely.
"No!" Rachel shouted jumping up. "He can NEVER know!" She said looking at Quinn with panic. "Please Quinn tell me you wont say a word?" She said begging.
"I won't, i really think its the wrong thing but i won;t betray you." She said with honest. "I just cant believe you're ready to turn your back on everything you ever wanted, everything you dreamt of." Quinn said with disappointment. "You even refused to tour with Jessie."
"How?" Rachel started wondering how Quinn knew.
"Yes I've been snooping around but only after i found the letter." She said smiling slightly. "Why did you not go? Its a big deal."
"Truth?" Rachel asked.
"Of course!"
"None of it matters without Finn, my music has always been about him." She said drying her tears. "Theirs no music if i don't have Finn, and i think its a bit early in our relationship to go for so long to take this opportunity, but i'm only 18 so its not over. I just making a choice to stay with him at the moment."
"I just don't want you to do something that you'll regret for the rest of you're life." Quinn said emotionally. "Are you sure Finn is worth it?"
"Honestly? I don't know, but i know that our love story deserves every chance that it can get, and my heart keeps telling me i'm doing the right thing."
"Just think about it okay?" She said grabbing her bag then hugging Rachel. "I need to go shower and change, but what are you doing later? Busy with lover boy?" She asked grinning.
"Nope." She said smiling. "He's with Noah cause Noah needed to buy Santana a present."
"Wanna do something then?" Quinn asked smiling.
"Yeah, i need you to come to the mall with me."
"Mall? How can i say no!" Quinn said laughing.
At that moment Britanny sneaked out of the room. Both Quinn and Rachel forget she was there.
Finn couldn't believe that Puck was going to help him with this! He was going to go and see Rachel for a quick kiss before he headed off for guys night.
He saw her car still parked at school and frowned, he decided to go see her.
As Britanny exited the school she saw Finn and started to laugh. "This is my lucky day!"
"Hey." She said as he turned around to shut the car door.
He rolled his eyes. "What do you want Britanny?" He asked.
"I just came to apologize." She said sounding all nice.
"You? Apologize?" He said with a sarcastic laugh.
"Yeah." She said ignoring his sarcastic tone. "I just didn't see how much you guys actually loved each over." She shrugged. "I mean lets face it i could never sacrifice what she is doing just to be with you." She said smiling ready to go.
Finn frowned getting confused. "What are you talking about?" He shouted.
"Oh come on Finn! I know i'm not supposed to know about it, but i heard Rachel telling Quinn." She said pretending to believe Finn knew. "I'm talking about her singing program! I mean she got the full years and shes going to refuse it to go with you." Britanny added looking into his eyes. "I could never let a long lived dream go for a guy!"
"You're lying." Finn said clenching his jaw.
"You didn't know?" Britanny said trying to sound surprised. "You don't believe me but go into her room and look into her drawer she has the letter! I'm not lying even if you wish i was." She added with a pretend smile. She walked away before turning back around. "What else don't you know?" She asked while Finn kept looking straight in front of him. "She told you she could go on tour? But she refused cause she wanted to stay with you."
Finn felt so weak and pale. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. He couldn't believe Rachel.
"I guess not." Britanny said turning back around so Finn could not see her, a sudden smile flashed on her face.
Finn got back into his car and rested his head. He knew Britanny was a liar but for some reason he knew she wasn't lying. He quickly sat up and sped off.
