"RAIN DROPS KEEP FALLING ON MY HEAD! RAIN DROPS KEEP-I CAN DO THIS ALL DAY, YOU KNOW-RAIN DROPS KEEP FALLING ON MY HEAD!" Quinn sang completely loud and purposely out of tone. Making herself sound even more annoying intentionally.

"RAIN DROPS KE-Woah!" Quinn stumbled back when the door opened abruptly and Rachel stared at her in annoyance with glassy, hazy eyes from dinking.

"Stop! For the love all that is holy, stop! I hate that song!" Rachel growled.

"Oh well, look who decided to join me." Quinn replied brightly with a sweet albeit sarcastic tone and fake smile.

Rachel rolled her eyes. "What do you want from me?"

"For one, I'd like you to stop drinking yourself into a stupor." Quinn replied snatching the bottle from Rachel.

"Give that back!"

"And for two, I'd like you to come sit with me and tell me what's obviously bothering you."

"Nothings bot-"

"Stop lying. Now a few weeks ago you asked to be my friend and asked what kind of friend I'd like to be and one of the options was that I'd could be someone you can come to when things get heavy. Do you remember that? Because I do. Now come on and stop being pig headed." Quinn said as she took Rachel's hand and dragged her from the door way back toward the living room.


Sue Sylvester stood with ferocious eyes that were narrowed at the young woman and man before her. What she was just informed was not good.

It was bad. This could go all kinds of wrong and she's pissed at herself for not paying more attention.

"How long ago?" Sue growled in anger.

The man spoke with his head bowed slightly. "Apparently last night."

"And you didn't think to tell me then?!"

"We didn't know ye-"

"I don't want to hear it! Get everyone together and meet me at my office and for fucks sake don't let that little shit head out of your sight!" Sue pointed at the brunette boy whose hair she secretly thought deserved a spot in a haircare commercial, who cowered under her stare.

"Yes, ma'am."

"Yes, ma'am."

Sue rubbed her face in aggravation. This really wasn't the time for this type of shit.

She didn't need this right now. They didn't need this right now.


Rachel sat playing with the cap to her water bottle that Quinn demanded she drink, in silence.

Quinn watched her and could tell there was literally a ton of weight on the girls shoulders.

"Rachel?.."

"Yes.." Rachel sighed in return, still feeling pissed off with herself over a phone call that has been over for two and half hours now.

"How did you know where I was the other night?" Quinn asked carefully.

Rachel's eyes turned to Quinns' searching. All she could see was genuine curiosity.

"I wasn't following you if that's what you mean." Rachel said in a low barely there defensive tone.

"I didn't imply that you were. My question was, how did you find me?" Quinn replied in a none threatening tone.

The silence stretched for a few moments before Rachel licked her lips than spoke. "...I was tailing the car."

Quinn furrowed her brow. "Why?"

"I have my reasons."

"Your reasons.." Quinn said with a slow nod. "How do you know the people in the car?"

"As I've said before Quinn. I'm not here to win championships. I'm here for specific reason and Brody Weston just so happens to have a part in it."

"So what? You were going to kill him?"

"No!"

"Than why did you shot at the car?"

"I was tailing him for half the day into the evening. Than I saw him chase after you. I knew once he got close to his district I would have to cut off from him but I also knew I couldn't leave you in that car." Rachel said with conviction.

Quinn felt her heart swell at the protective tone in Rachel's eyes and tone. Her posture was screaming it. Quinn a second than asked. "Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why couldn't you leave me in the car? It could have been an easy night for you and instead of being able to go home unharmed, you were shot. So why didn't you leave me?"

"Because.."

"Because?"

"Because Brody Weston is a fucking pervert! He's twenty seven, you're sixteen! He has a reputation and a deplorable past. I don't need to put the dots together between the two of you." Rachel finished with fire in her eyes and her breath labored from anger. The imagery alone made her want to puke and blow hole in Brody Weston repeatedly even after he's dead.

Quinn's eyes were soft in understanding. "Yes, he does have a reputation.." She said softly and Rachel's eyes shot to hers.

They held eye contact for several minutes and this time Quinn was searching Rachel's eyes. Than Quinn spoke and began to explain just how she got pregnant.

Though she had not been violently raped. She also didn't chose to sleep with him because she liked him but she did chose to save her family.

Quinn may be hot headed but she knows when it's smart to be obedient and that day thanks to her fathers never ending talent of getting his family entangled with trouble.

She was requested by Brody Weston as payment for her fathers debt.

She can still remember that day though it was months ago. When her father was still around.

Russell came home but he wasn't alone. He couldn't even look her in the eyes and when he finally did they were practically begging her for forgiveness without his lips saying so.

He came into the hotel room with his tail between his legs looking like he was ashamed of himself and right behind him was none other than Brody Weston with shinning eyes and a wicked smirk and his goons right behind him.

'Quinn, sweetheart, I need to speak with you.' Russell said immediately as he entered.

Quinn was confused and felt severely uncomfortable with the way Brody was looking at her from her place on the couch next to Stevie. She was helping him with his homework.

She nodded and stood from the couch anyway.

They walked to the only other place in the hotel room that would give them privacy, the bathroom.

'Dad?' Quinn said when he paced in basically a small circle since it was a small bathroom.

'Quinn, listen to me. You have to believe me I honestly never meant for any of this to happen but right now I need you to be strong." Russell said in a nervous, sad, rushed tone. He knew Brody wasn't a patient man.

"Dad, what's wrong you're scaring me and who the hell are those guys?'

'Quinn, we don't have much time. God, I'm so sorry Quinnie. I never meant for this to happen. I swea-'

'Daddy, what are you talking about?' Quinn asked growing with worry and now a tinge of fear.

'Quinn, please I need you to do something for me-for this f-family.'

'Anything dad, what is it?'

That day in that bathroom had completely severed the tie between father and daughter.

That day Quinn's jaw dropped when her father informed her that he took their month's money that their mother stripped for, that was supposed to be used to pay the motel they were currently staying in and gambled it away.

How he had been on a winning streak at Brody's illegal underground casino and was going to pull out when he reached twenty grand but thought one more game would set them up for good but than he lost all of it and had to pay up then and there.

When he said he couldn't the security guards refused to let him leave than brought him to Brody and Brody threatened to kill him and his family if he didn't pay up.

He begged for more time. That he could get the money but Brody turned him down.

Russell told her how he got on his knees and begged and told Brody he'd do anything and that's when Brody asked for her. For Quinn.

He said he wanted her to dance for him. That he wanted her for the entire night and she had to do whatever he asked than Russell's debt would be cleared.

Russell agreed.

Quinn couldn't believe it. Her heart broke and betrayal filled her along with anger, disgust, hatred and a whole other myriad of emotions but Quinn knew.

She saw Brody's face when he walked in. She saw his large body guards with guns in their holsters.

He would kill them and Quinn refused to let that happen.

She didn't agree to it to save her father. She agreed to it to save her siblings and her mother.

That night Quinn danced in seven inch heels, in exotic lingerie and make up she'd never wear in her life.

She let him kiss her in adult ways she's never been kissed.

She laid in that bed willingly but still trembled, hating every second of it.

No, she wasn't violently raped but even making the choice to give herself to that man caused irrevocable damage.

Because she had been a virgin. She had slept with a grown man not out of love but out of fear. That part of her was taken and she fell to pieces when it was said and done.

That night he had her more than once and without protection. To her she had been violated in the worse ways imaginable and given away by her father no less to clear a debt.

She had waited two long anxious, painful weeks to take a STD test, HIV test and though her tears of joy came when she was told she was still clean.

They soon turned to angry full of despair tears when she was told she was pregnant.

After that she didn't know what to do. She didn't have it in her to get an abortion. She told Finn the truth. She knew she had to.

He looked at her with disdain. He called her a whore even though she explained everything.

Finn told Puck than Amy Collins and so on. Before the end of the day the whole school knew and she became easy lay, Fabray and spread her legs, Fabray.

"After that I fell from grace, so to speak. Coach flipped and told me to turn in my uniform. I started getting bullied. I knew Finn would be hurt but I didn't know he'd be so cruel ab-"

"Finn? As in Finn Hudson. The quarter back?" Rachel asked her eyes were burning with anger and her heart already torn to shreds by the retelling.

Her eyes were no longer glassy because of alcohol but Quinn didn't need to know that.

"Yes." Quinn said simply.

"So the nice guy act? It's all bullshit?"

Quinn bit her lip, unsure how to answer. She still doesn't know exactly why Rachel's in Lima and didn't want to put herself in a position she couldn't get out of. "Well, I guess it depends on who you are." Quinn answered vaguely.

Rachel furrowed her brown. She knew the blonde wasn't being completely honest.

Her sixth sense is telling her there may be a piece to the puzzle when it comes to this Finn boy but after the retelling of just how Quinn got pregnant, made Rachel swear to herself to never press Quinn to do what she isn't comfortable with and right now it was clear that discussing Finn Hudson's character was not really on the table.

Rachel nodded and could see relief in Quinn's eyes at not being pressed for more.

"I'm sorry that happened to you." Rachel said sincerely.

"Thank you. I may not be completely over it but I know I did the right thing or at least I believe I did. I have to believe I did. If I don't, it would break me and I don't ever want anyone to have that part of me because that would mean I don't belong to me anymore and he'd always be there. Even if Brody isn't physically present. Just the memory would always be there."

Rachel turned her body toward the blonde and cupped her cheek with her right hand and spoke softly. "You were very brave Quinn."

The blonde wiped a stray tear quickly before it could go any further. Her eyes were filled and ready to spill over but Rachel watched in amazement as she held herself together.

Quinn cleared her throat with a smile though it seemed a little forced. "Well, I also have the most adorable little girl that I get to call mine so.. That definitely makes me the happiest mother in the world."

"Yes, she is and so are you.." Rachel replied and though outwardly she was calm. Inwardly her metaphorical eyes bulged and she had the shocked thought of where the fuck did that come from?!

Quinn blushed slightly as she nuzzled Rachel's hand, her eyes slid shut at the admission. Her chest filled with warmth and her stomach battered with butterflies.

Quinn had never felt anything like it not even when she was with Finn. No one has ever made her feel like Rachel did in that moment. Like she was still special. Like even though she had gone through what she had, it didn't take away from who she is.

She didn't understand what that meant but she knew it felt good. Quinn's eyes fluttered open than gazed into Rachel's.

"So.." Quinn said with soft caution. "You want to tell me what's bothering you?"

Rachel took a deep breath and her hand slipped from Quinn's cheek.

Quinn watched as Rachel became guarded but was also trying not to completely be off putting.

"It's stupid." Rachel said with dismissal.

"Hey.." Quinn spoke softly and reached out cupping Rachel's cheek as Rachel just did her own.

Rachel's eyes lifted to her and though the brunette tried to hide it Quinn could see how vulnerable she truly was in that moment. "Nothing you feel is stupid, do you hear me?"

Rachel's eyes rounded out at those words. Her full bottom lip poking out unconsciously and Quinn was hit so strongly by a pout she wasn't prepared for.

She already wanted to hurt whoever caused Rachel to become so upset that she felt she needed to drink but now she wanted to kill them. She was now mushed completely by the most adorable pout she had ever seen.

"I.." Rachel didn't know what to say. No one other than her own family had said anything that sincerely kind to her.

"I mean it, Rachel. What you feel matters and maybe you don't trust me enough to tell me anything right now but know that I'll always be here for you whenever it is that you're ready." Quinn assured.

Rachel felt her chest stir and she filled with emotion. God! How could anyone not want this girl as a friend. She is so sweet.

Quinn took Rachel's silence for her not being ready to confide just yet. "Tell you what? We have a few hours to kill before I have to pick up the kids. How about a movie?"

Rachel smiled gratefully. "...Okay, you pick the movie and I'll get some snacks."

"Awesome."


H stepped out the car and took a deep breath eyes taking in the area.

D soon followed out the car, his eyes scanning their surroundings. He sighed deeply with a shake of his head as he looked at the building in front of him.

"Welcome home." D said with resignation in his tone.

"Welcome home, indeed." H followed with a devilish smirk.


Ophelia 'Mama Fina' Berry was a woman of very little words but when she spoke it was always for a reason and right now this moment was no exception.

"You mean to tell me this has been going on and not one of you opened your mouth to inform me?" Mama Fina's eyes burned in to the men and women-children- before her like molten lava.

They all swallowed thickly and nodded, knowing that opening their mouths and using words wouldn't be good.

Mama Fina's eyes turned to the person who brought her the news that had her blood boiling.

"So now that I'm the last to know I must fix it?!"

"Mama Fina, you can-"

"Shush it, S, I don't want to here it! Now gather my things, pack yours and call my doctors. We live after I discuss it with them." She said with finality.

No one said another word. They all coward with their tails between their legs and did as they were told.


Rachel pulled up to the hotel with Quinn in the passenger seat and all the kids along with Sam in the back.

They had thought it best to pick everyone up so they'd all be together and hopefully no problems could be had.

"Thanks Rachel." Sam said with a smile as he opened the door and began unloading the kids.

"Thank you, Rachel!" (Charlie)

"Thanks, Rachel!" (Stacy)

"Yeah, thanks Rachel. You're the best!" (Stevie)

Rachel chuckled at their adorableness. "You're welcome guys. See you later."

Sam had the baby's car seat and could tell his sister wanted a minute with the brunette so he shut the door and headed to the hotel room.

The little kids waving bye to Rachel one last time as they went. The brunette smiled as she waved back.

"They are so cute." Rachel said as she turned to Quinn.

"Yeah."

"So your first day back to school's tomorrow." Rachel said.

"Yup."

"I'm sorry I won't be there. You know because of this." Rachel said gesturing to her arm in the sling.

"It's okay." Quinn knew what tomorrow would bring.

Kate Livingston has been awaiting her return and she knew she'd have to pack more than three pairs of outfits tomorrow for the slushie showers she'd most likely get and probably a beat down by the end of the day. Needless to say, she wasn't looking forward to it but Rachel didn't need to know that.

"I uh.. I had fun today. Thank you, I really needed it." Rachel said sweetly breaking the blonde's silence.

"Right back at you. I needed it too." Quinn replied sweetly.

Both girls had no idea as to why neither of them wanted Quinn to leave the car so soon. It felt wrong on so many levels. They both separately felt like they couldn't part.

"So.. When will I see you again?" Quinn asked intentionally shy.

"I'm actually not sure. I have something big happening tomorrow evening that needs my attention so maybe the day after?" Rachel asked hopefully.

"Okay."

"Maybe if your not busy we could.. I don't know-catch a movie?"

"That sounds great but um.. how about I rent us one. I can't really go any where. My moms working this entire week. I have to be home.. You know, for my siblings. Sam works the next four days."

"Oh! Right! Of course, I'm sorry-"

"No, don't apologize. You didn't know."

"I know but I didn't even think-"

"It's fine, Rachel. So is that something your okay with?" Quinn asked.

She remembered how pissed off Finn would get when she would say she couldn't hang out whenever he wanted.

Than he'd get more upset when she tried to compromise like he was an option but to her surprise Rachel hit her with a beautiful smile.

"Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?"

"I don't know." Quinn shrugged lightly, she couldn't help the playful smile on her face. Being friends with Rachel was so much easy. "Anyway, do you have a genre in mind?"

"How about I bring some of my own movies and you pick whatever you're interested in and we can see you has the worst taste?"

Quinn giggled this thing that caused Rachel to bite her lip and smile this way that she's never felt on her own face. It was hurting her cheeks and making her feel light headed.

"Okay." Quinn said doing her best to hold in whatever kind of that giddy feeling is.

The two stared at each other with blinding smiles. "I should go." Quinn said.

"Yeah.."

"See you later, Rachel."

"See you later, Quinn."

Quinn stepped out of the car and rounded it. She started to walk toward the motel and Rachel was frozen in her gaze on the blonde.

Quinn turned around walking backward with a smile and called out:

"Wednesday?!"

"Wednesday!" Rachel called back her affirmation.

"Pizza or Thai?!"

"Thai!"

"Don't be late, Berry!"

"Wouldn't dream of it, Fabray!"

Both girls waved once more at each other before Quinn rounded the corner.

They both were still smiling like fools. Rachel sighed to herself than chuckled.

She shook her head and started her suv than drove feeling like the luckiest girl in the world to have a friend like Quinn. Quinn being her first.


"Yes, well unfortunately it's a family emergency. I cannot sit here and do nothing!" Mama Fina said down the line.

She listened as her doctor was stern in his disapproval of her leaving the state.

She needed bed rest. Her body couldn't handle too much stress but mama Fina was disregarding all warning.

"I see, thank you for your input Dr. Wells but I will be leaving with or without the extra medication. So, either you put in the prescription or you don't I'll leave it up to you but I am going."

Two seconds later mama Fina smiled. "Ah, I'm happy to hear you see things my way. When will it be ready for me to pick up. Hmmm.. I see, It's a little late but I suppose I'll wait for it. Thank you. Have a great day."

Mama Fina hung up the phone and sighed. She was tired.

She would never admit it but she could feel just how not ready her body was for this trip but she knew she had to.

No one would be able to handle the situation and she didn't need baby being caught by surprise.

She sighed once more. She groaned as she reclined in her bed and closed her eyes deciding to get a nap while she could.


Quinn sighed as she switched out her books to take home with her. The halls were empty and she had just gotten out of detention.

It had been one hell of first day back. She had been slushied before each and every class she had including lunch period, hence her having detention for being late to every single one of them.

She had only brought five changes of clothes. So for the rest of the day she had to walk around drenched than sticky from slushie.

She had been swirlied seven times and thrown in the dumpster four times.

She had been hit with paper balls, spit balls, got her hair pulled, wedgies, etc.

Now she had to be at the back of the school so the football players could roll her in the porter potty full of their shit.

She was ordered to be there by Kate Livingston the cheer captain and if she didn't show, Finn promised Sam would take the tumble for her after getting his ass handed to him.

So yes, unfortunately she's going. She sighed once more her eyes filling with tears.

She keeps the mantra in her head that she only has two more years, this year that she's a junior than next year she'd be a senior than she'd be out of that hell hole and out of that town.

She shut her locker than jumped out of her skin with a hand over her heart.

"Rachel, oh my god you scared the crap out of me." Quinn said than a smile over took her features. "What are you doing here anyway? I thought you weren't coming in." Quinn said.

The brunette stared at her with big brown shining eyes and a smile like she just saw the biggest star she'd ever seen.

Quinn furrowed her brow in confusion and a amused smile tweaked her lips as her eyes took in the girls outfit. "Um.. Rachel, what the hell are you wearing?"

Quinn's eyes traveled the brunette's body.

She was in Mary Jane's, knee high socks, an extremely short plaid skirt, an argyle sweater with a armadillo? Last but not least a head band.

She looked adorable to Quinn also a little weird but adorable nonetheless and if any one else were in that outfit she's sure she'd want to claw her own eyes out but on Rachel she looked absolutely adorable.

"Quinn?" The brunette asked in a odd way. It made Quinn feel uneasy.

"Yeah?"

The brunette's eyes shined some more.

"Will you please walk with me for a minute?"

"Rachel, I've actually have somewh-"

"Please?"

Quinn sighed than shut her locker. "Okay but I can't be too long I have to be somewhere."

The brunette nodded and her smile was huge. Her eyes were sparkling.

Quinn felt that weird feeling again.


D sighed as he helped set everything up.

Why did he always get himself into these situations.

He looked across the empty space in front of him and shook his head.

He was so getting it when mama Fina finds out.

He now knows for sure H is hella crazy. Who in their right mind would willingly do this?


Sam's head whipped to the right and he groaned as laughter burst around him.

He felt pain every where and his head swam. Fuck, what did he do now for this?

Just as he thought it was over he was lifted up than dragged than he smelled it before he saw it. His eyes popped open and they widened before they filled with tears.

"NO! P-PLEASE! NO PLEASE DON'T DO THIS! WHAT DID I DO?! GOD WHAT DID I DO?! I'M SORRY! WHATEVER IT IS I'M SORRY!" Sam cried but it was no use they laughed as they tossed him in.

He grunted than the door slammed shut behind him. He tried to push it open but that was the only second he had before it tilted over.

He closed his mouth and eyes using his hand to cover his nose and extra precaution for his mouth as soon as it tumbled. The splattering sound of shit resounded before the first roll even happened.

The jocks and cheerios cheered at the top of the hill.


Rachel kept her eyes ahead. She was filling with excitement.

All day she's been waiting and now it was finally here. Just as she rounded the corner her phone vibrated. She stopped and pulled it out.

She furrowed her brow at the number confused as to why the person was calling.

She pressed end than continued walking until it vibrated again. She grit her teeth and answered bringing the phone to her ear.

"H, what do you want? I'm busy."

'RSCHJMMM!'

Rachel furrowed her brow in confusion. She pulled the phone from her ear to double check she answered who she thought she did. She put the phone back to her ear.

"Hello? H?"

'Hey baby.." H said with a calm tone.

"H, what the hell was that?" Rachel asked confused.

'Oh you didn't hear? Hold on a second.'

Rachel grit her teeth in annoyance she didn't have time for th-

'RACHEL! RACHEL, PLEA-'

Rachel froze on the spot. "Quinn?! Quinn, is that you?!" Rachel hissed into the phone.

H's voice chuckled down the line. "Don't worry baby, Barbie bitch and I are going to get along just fine without you."

"H, I swear if you harm a hair on her head I'll put a bullet through yours!" Rachel growled low in anger.

She couldn't speak loudly. She was in Brock Weston's district.

She had been waiting for this infiltration but now she had to give up her window of opportunity because Quinn -in Rachel's book- was first priority.

"And what are you going to do? Huh, baby? You don't even know where we are." H taunted.

"I'll find you asshole! You can count your last breath on it!" Rachel growled than hung up the phone to H's laughter.

She ran back the way she came as quickly as and as inconspicuously as she could back to her motorcycle.

She knew if she didn't find Quinn in time H would kill Quinn just to spite her.
