Let's Make It Last - A Faberry Fanfiction

21

The usual background noise broke out into a silence when Quinn walked through the door.
She was wearing sunglasses, but everyone could clearly see her bruised cheek.
Puck run over her.
"What happened?" He asked her.
She smiled gently. "Nothing. I fell, that's it." She answered. Then she sat next to him.
"Ok guys, if we're all ready, I'm gonna start." Mr Schue said, coming in and holding Mrs Pillsbury's hand. "I've got a special guest...well, I actually have two, today." He added, gently touching his wife's belly.
Everyone cheered up in that moment.
Nobody seemed to care about Quinn anymore. Not even herself.
We all stood up and clapped our hands.
"Thank you guys. We're so happy and we can't wait until he or she comes out!" Mr Schue interrupted for a while. "Quinn, what happened to your-"
She interrupted him before he could finish. "It's nothing, I just fell." She said, faking a smile again.
Puck held her hand.
"Great. So...which group is gonna go first?"
"Us girls, let's go!" Mercedes said, in an enthusiastic voice.
And so we went.
Throughout the whole exhibition, I felt Finn's gaze on me.
Yet I couldn't stop thinking about Quinn.
Why did he hate her so bad? She was our friend.
And moreover, why was he jealous of her? Did he know something?
I shifted my gaze on Quinn. We had prepared quite a seductive choreography, and she definitely got it.
When I caught her eyes, we both forgot the lyrics and stopped singing.
Yet luckily the song was almost over.
"Wow girls! You did it great! You definitely got the assignment!" Mr Schuester said, still clapping his hands.
Then he turned to the boys. "Guys you'll have to do more than perfectly if you wanna win!"
"We are ready and so pumped this time!" Sam said, pushing Artie in the middle of the room.
Puck turned to the drummer. "Hit it!" He said.
The seven of  them looked like a boy band.
My blood run cold when the song started.
Steal My Girl.
It wasn't the song overall.
It was the pressure I was put under.
Every single verses sounded like a put-down.
I looked at Quinn and noticed she had watery eyes.
She tried to cover them with her sunglasses, yet without being successful.
She was nervously beating her foot on the floor.
She looked weary and seemed to have the weight of the whole world on her back.
Santana was sitting across from her, with Brittany by her side.
They both suddenly turned to her. Santana took her hand and held it.
Brittany got closer and sat on Puck's seat.
They were talking, but it was impossible to hear what they were saying.
Quinn looked even worse.
They were hiding her, so I looked back at the boys.
Finn was flashing at Quinn's direction.
Everybody wanna steal my girl
Everybody wanna take her heart away
Couple billion in the whole wide world
Find another one 'cause she belongs to me
He was marking out every single word of the refrain.
I was trying to avoid him, but I accidentally caught his eyes.
He was still clearly angry.
"That was a very good job, guys! Congrats! So, we must decide who-"
"Excuse me."
Everything happened so fast. Quinn had run out of the room and no one knew why.
Puck immediately stood up to follow her, but Santana stopped him and went instead, taking Brittany with her.
I had to resist from not running over her.
Mr Schue was visibly confused. "O-Okay guys, take five y'all." He said, giving Mrs Pillsbury a questioning gaze.
I kept looking at the door.
"Rachel, is everything ok?" Blaine asked, putting his hand on my shoulder.
"Not at all." I said, and I couldn't manage to sit back any longer.
"Rachel, where are-" Kurt questioned me, but by the time I had already got out, looking for Quinn.
"I don't want you to stay here, girls. I didn't mean to ruin our rehearsal. It's just a breakdown."
It was her.
She was crying so hard that I could hear her voice from the hallway.
"Quinn, we care about you. You're not ruining anything." Brittany said.
Then I heard Santana.
"You didn't fall. I know. So would you please tell us what the Hell happened with your cheek?" She stated.
"Fine".
I tried to follow their voices. I stopped in front of the girls' toilet.
