Pairing: Rachel/Quinn
Notes: Finn gets put in his place by an unlikely source and it seems no one's closet is safe to hide in.
Warning: You're all gonna hate me.

The next day...
The girls all stood gathered around the lockers, all day they'd been trying to catch a glimpse of Finn but it seemed that the quarterback was actually laying low.
"Berry," Santana called out breaking the girls stare, "quit looking for him, ok? That's how I got in this mess in the first place."
"No," Rachel shook her head, "you got in this mess because of me."
"Rachel..."
"Look I know you've all been protecting me from him," she rounded on her group of friends, "but enough is enough. This time he's gone too far."
"Rae," Mercedes placed a hand on the girls shoulder, "you can't exactly undo what he did."
"Cedes is right," Santana said sadly, "The damage has been done already, we should just leave it at that. I don't want him messing with you anymore and finding him is only going to make things worse for you."
"I can't leave this," Rachel said firmly.
"Rach," Quinn gently brushed her fingers against her girlfriends, "you can't fix this."
Brittany rest her head on Santana's shoulder, "Everyone is so sad and angry today," she said downtrodden.
"I know, it's ok Britt Britt," Santana soothed, "everything will work out in a few days."
Chocolate orbs zeroed in on the back of the boy she had been searching for and before anyone else had a chance to register what was happening she was storming off down the corridor, "FINN!"
"Shit, Berry get back here!"
"Rachel don't!"
A chorus of pleas fell on deaf ears as she marched up to the gangly teen who turned around just in time to be greeted with a slap to his face.
"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Rachel all but screeched.
"Rachel," Finn rubbed at his face, "I know you're mad-"
"Mad?" she cut him off, "I am beyond mad Finn, to be quite frank I'm pissed!"
"I get it, but what I did," he smiled at her softly, "I did it for you, for us."
"Oh my God, you just don't get it do you?"
"Rach I get it completely, you're scared. I get that. After what happened it's only natural that you're scared."
"You think this has to do with what happened?" she spat, she was beyond furious. "This has nothing to do with what happened!"
"It has everything to do with what happened," Finn retorted without thinking.
The corridor was almost silent as the student body watched the drama play out before them.
"Excuse me?" Rachel couldn't believe what she was hearing, "You don't know the first thing about what happened, about what I've been through!"
"I know it's the reason you're not with me," he stated simply, "that it's made you scared to trust any guy and that's why you're with her."
Rachel clenched her fists at her side, she was at a complete loss for words.
Quinn took a step towards her girlfriend only to be pulled back, "Sorry mama," Mercedes words were sincere, "but I think this is one she has to do this on her own."
"I did all of this for us," he continued, "for you, me and Charlie."
"There is no you and Charlie, you do not get to be anywhere near my daughter."
"I can give her a family, a chance at a normal life."
"So what you're telling me," Rachel was visibly shaking, she was full of so much rage, "is that you purposely hurt Santana, got Sam to humiliate himself by asking Quinn to go on a date with him when you knew full well she's in a committed relationship, made Quinn uncomfortable by putting her in that situation - you did all of that thinking that I'd see the error of my ways and leave Quinn and come running back to you where I belong."
He grinned at the girl before him as she spoke, as she came around to his way of thinking. He reached out to cup her face, "We belong together Rach."
She pushed his arm away from here, "Don't you dare touch me!" Her eyes burned with the threat of tears, "You never touch me again, ever!"
"Rach..." his face contorted in confusion.
Quinn gave a sharp tug and broke away from Mercedes grip, there was no way she was going to stand by and watch as her girlfriend battled with her fears. She didn't care that they were in school, between Finn and Rachel the cat was pretty much out of the bag, she laced her fingers with the trembling girl she was in love with, "You're ok," she uttered just loud enough for Rachel to hear.
Rachel turned her head to look at Quinn and mouth a silent thank you before returning her attention to Finn, "You say that I'm scared because of what happened, that I'm with Quinn because of what happened, you have no idea. Whether you like it or not Finn, I'm with her because I love her. If you can't accept that then that's your problem!"
"Rachel-"
"I'm not finished!" She snapped at him, regaining her courage now that she had Quinn beside her, "You want to know why I'm so scared of you? You think it's because of what happened, because of what Karofsky," it didn't go unnoticed by her friends that she actually said his name, "did to me? You're wrong! It's because you're just like him!"
"Ouch," Santana muttered under her breath, of all the things Rachel 'incessant chatter' Berry could've said that wasn't even considered an option.
Rachel glared at Finn, "You have the same hate in you that Karofsky has. The way you treat people, you're own brother...what you did to Santana...you will never be family as far as Charlie is concerned, you're not even part of her life or mine anymore. I will talk to you in Glee when necessary but otherwise I don't want to see or hear you."
Finn stood there flabbergasted, "But..."
"Oh shut your trap Hudson," Santana appeared beside Rachel, "I believe Berry made herself very clear."
"You," he glared at Quinn, "you just keep on having to screw everything up for me don't you?!"
"Don't you dare try and blame Quinn for this," Rachel barked, "this is your own doing Finn!"
"Yeah flubber," Santana smirked, "how does it feeling knowing that you've successfully turned three girls you've been with gay?"
Author's note: Hi guys, you should all go thank my best friend Davis B.P Thank you for always being my number one reviewer and helping me to get all these ideas out and onto paper (so to speak). Also a big shoutout to MikA-FaberryLuver4395 for proofreading for me.
So I plan to see this story through, right until the very end but I feel it's only fair to warn you that it will NOT be anywhere close to the length of Dirty Little Secret. As you may or may not have noticed my chapters are generally around the 1,000 word mark and that's the way they're going to stay unfortunately. I have to focus on real life issues that are interfering with my writing. This said I'm tempted to do another sequel following the girls throughout various stages of their lives - a few chapters on college, Beth's first day at school, possible engagements, how friendships change, etc. what do you all think of this? Do we like this idea?
The next few chapters are gonna be mainly fluff and I think mainly Faberry centric. Not entirely sure how I'm going to go about this at the moment, too many ideas in my head and not quite sure how to get them outta there to be honest. So you may be waiting a few days for the next chapter while I try and figure out what the hell it is I'm doing. Also I think things are gonna start getting sexual so consider yourselves warn but don't be expecting sex just yet, I have a plan for that and some other stuff has gotta happen first.
