'Be at my house, 7 o'clock sharp. Oh and bring your pajamas, we are having a sleepover. ;) – R'
'Why don't you text in abbreviations like a normal teenager? Ok I'll be there - Q'
"Ok Quinn, as you know the first step of my attempt to woo Mercedes was a complete and utter fail. So I decided to take all 2,3 and 4 steps and turn them into one step. I'll sing to her and after I finish my performance I'll offer her flowers and ask her out on a date." She says smiling widely. She's so determined to succeed which makes her look kinda obsessed… and scary.
"Y-yeah…Your plan sounds…good."
"Do you think it'll work?" She asks.
"I honestly don't know Rach. I hope it does, I don't want you to get hurt again." You answer back.
"Oh Quinn that's so sweet of you. But trust me, she won't be able to resist me." She answers back and winks at you.
You give her a warm smile and she takes it as a reassurance that everything is going to be ok.
"Oh I almost forgot. Here take this." She says and she hands you a white sheet, a bow and some arrows.
"What's that?"
"As you know, a good and complete performance needs a choreography as well, so you'll dress up as Cupid and dance around me while I sing."
"You are kidding right? I'm not doing this." You answer back, you might me in love with her but this is too much.
"Please Quinn. Pleaseeeee…" She says while sticking her bottom lip out and pouting.
"Fine. I'll do it." You answer with a sigh, it's getting so obvious that you can't resist her.
"Ok everybody, let's hear it for Rachel and Quinn." Mr Schue announces to the Glee club.
You both stand up and take your places, you hear Santana say "Nice costume Juno!" and you shoot her a death glare, you know that she'll probably make fun of you for the rest of high school.
"Fellow Glee clubbers, Quinn and I have prepared a performance for the song 'I'll always love you' by Whitney Houston. I would like to dedicate this song to Mercedes." She says and blushes. You can see Mercedes' eyes growing wide in shock. Rachel blows her a kiss, she takes a deep breath and she starts to sing. You then begin to dance around her.
If I should stay,
I would only be in your way.
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you every step of the way.And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
You, my darling you. Bittersweet memories
that is all I'm taking with me.
So, goodbye. Please, don't cry.
We both know I'm not what you, you need.And I will always love you.
I will always love you.I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of.
And I wish to you, joy and happiness.
But above all this, I wish you love.And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I, I will always love you.You, darling, I love you.
Ooh, I'll always, I'll always love you.
As the song ends you can see Rachel approaching Mercedes, she kneels down in front of her and gives her a pink rose, her favorite.
"Mercedes, would you go out on a date with me?" She asks anxiously.
"Oh hell to the no! Have you completely lost your mind Berry?" She yells to her and then storms off. You can see everyone staring at Rachel, they are all speechless. She's about to start crying and you run next to her and you take her into your arms.
"Don't cry Rach!" You whisper in her ear as you stroke her back. You then turn to Mr Schue and you tell him " Sorry Mr Schue but Rachel and I have to go!"
"Y-yeah. T-that's a good idea." He nods, you take her hand and lead her out of the auditorium.
"Wait let me get this straight…" Puck starts.
"Did Rachel try to ask Mercedes out on a date?" Finn asks.
"With Quinn's help." Kurt says.
"Someone pinch me! I must be having a nightmare." Santana says. They all just sit there with their eyes wide unable to fully comprehend what just took place in front of their eyes.
"It's time to take matters into my own hands." Kurt says.
'Be at my house at 6:50. –Kurt'
'Be at my house at 7. –Kurt'
"Hi Kurt, I got your message. What is it?" Rachel asks.
"I saw your performance and it got me thinking. Quinn will be here in 10 minutes, when she comes I want you to hide in the closet and make no noises." Kurt instructs her.
"B-but why?"Rachel asks.
"Trust me." She tells her and she gives her a warm smile.
"Come in Quinn. Please take a seat!"
"What is it Kurt?" You ask.
"Well I'll cut straight to the chase." He says. "Why did you help Rachel with her crazy plan to woo Mercedes?"
"I-I… She asked me to."
"Yeah but what was in it for you?" He asks.
"She promised that if I help her she will give up on Finn."
"Uhum!" He is not convinced and you can see it in his eyes.
"Why do you care?" You ask.
"I don't know Quinn. Maybe if you've been more honest with me I would tell you." He says.
"What do you mean?"
"You suddenly decide to 'help' your worst enemy and then you go and dress up as Cupid because she asked you to. That's a bit too much. Don't you think? I certainly wouldn't do it."
"I told you, I did it because she promised to give up on Finn." You answer back.
"Is that so?" Kurt asks. "Quinn you can be honest with me. Trust me I've been there, I know how you feel."
You take a deep breath, you know that he knows. There's no reason trying to deny it to him anymore.
"I am in love with Rachel Berry! Is that what you wanna hear? I love her ever since I laid eyes on her and this plan was the best excuse for me to start spending more time with her." You say and you can feel a warm tear running down you flustered cheek.
"Oh sweetie, is this why you've been a bitch to her for so long?" He asks and he hands you a tissue.
"It's easier that way." You answer back. "I don't want to have this feelings for her Kurt. I can't…"
"No Quinn it's not easier this way, don't you see you are killing yourself inside? It's obvious that these feelings you have for her are very strong and I'm sure they won't stop being there as much as you try to hide them." He wipes a tear from your cheek and he gives you his warmest smile.
"Oh God I love her so much!" You say and you take a deep breath to calm yourself. " You know what? I kinda feel better know that you know it." You say and you smile right back at him.
"I understand. And guess what? You can always count on me in case you want to express your feelings to her…But as much as I love you, I won't dress up as Cupid."
"Thank you Kurt."
"Hey maybe you could sing to her."
"I have to go now, my mom is probably waiting for me. See you tomorrow." You give him a kiss goodbye on the cheek and you start to leave.
He waits a couple of minutes and then he says "You can come out now."
"Did she…?" Rachel asks as she steps out of Kurt's closet.
"Yeah." He answers back.
"Is, is this a joke or something?"
"No honey, believe it or not Quinn Fabray is madly in love with you."
(One month later)
A whole month has gone by and you haven't said anything to her yet. You notice that she acts really weird when you are around. She refuses to talk to you in school, she never answers your calls and she never texts you back. You miss her so much.
It's time to act, you can no longer be a coward Quinn Fabray. You then decide to perform a song during Glee.
"Mr Schue, guys…If you don't mind I would like to sing a song that I've prepared."
"Sure Quinn. Go ahead."
You take a breath and you can hear the music begin. You never brake eye contact between you two, making it pretty obvious that this song is directed to her.
Escaping nights without you with shadows on the wall
My mind is running wild tryin hard not to fall
You told me that you love me but say I'm just a friend
my heart is broken up into piecesCos I know I'll never free my soul
it's trapped between true love and being alone
When my eyes are closed the greatest story told
I woke and my dreams are shattered here on the floorWhy oh why tell me why not me
Why oh why we were meant to be
Baby I know I could be all you need
Why oh why oh whyI wanna love you
if you only knew how much I love you
So why not meThe day after tomorrow I'll still be around
To catch you when you fall and ever let you down
you say that we're forever our love will never end
I've tried to come up but it's drowning me to know
you'll never feel my soul
It's trapped between true love and being alone
when my eyes are closed the greatest story told
I woke and my dreams are shattered here on the floorTell me baby why oh why tell me why not me
Why oh why we were meant to be
Baby I know I could be all you need
why oh why oh whyI wanna love you
if you only knew how much I love you
So why not meYou won't ever know
How far we can go
You won't ever know
How far we can goWhy oh why tell me why not me
why oh why we were meant to be
Baby I know I could be all you need
Why oh why oh whyWhy oh why tell me why not me
Why oh why we were meant to be
Baby I know I could be all you need
Why oh why oh why oh whyI wanna love you
If you only knew how much I love you
so why not me
why not me, why not me
Everyone, besides her, starts clapping and cheering for you.
"Quinn that was amazing." You hear Mr Schue say. "You had so much passion, I'm amazed. Congratulations."
The next day you walk down the corridors of McKinley high. You spot her in front of her locker, it's now or never Fabray. You take a deep breath and you approach her.
"Hi there."
"Oh hello Quinn." She says. You notice that she's avoiding eye contact with you.
"It was for you, you know…The song I sang yesterday at Glee, it was for you."
"I know."
"Rachel, look at me" She sighs and obeys to what you said. "Rachel Barbra Berry I am in love with you."
"I know, when you talked to Kurt I was there. Hiding it his closet. I heard everything." She admits.
"So that's why you've been avoiding me?" You ask.
"I wanted to be 100% sure about the way I feel about you too before I told you anything." Rachel says.
"And now you are?" You ask and she nods yes.
"That's great. Anyway…I can't help myself Rachel, I love you. And I want you to love me back. I also know that you'll most probably reject me but I'll take my chances. I don't want to spend my life asking myself 'what if'." You answer.
"Are you copying me now or what?" She asks with a shy smile.
"Maybe." You answer back "So…Would like to be my date for prom?" You ask her with a huge grin on your face.
"Maybe." Rachel answers back with a smirk. She then does something you never expected, she pulls you in for a kiss. Her lips are so soft and taste like cherry, you know that you wouldn't mind kissing these lips for the rest of your life. After you both run out of air, she breaks the kiss. "Tonight, 8 o'clock at Breadstix." She says and she winks at you as she leaves.
Oh Fabray you are so in love… and screwed you think to yourself.
"Hey S look at Q, she looks so happy she can't stop smiling."
"I guess Rachel and Quinn are together now." Kurt says.
"Finally. This repressed-ness was starting to get on my nerves." Santana answers.
"Look who's talking." Kurt says and snorts.
"Shut it Elton."
THE END
