Different worlds

Chapter 14

That evening Quinn listened to her mum and stood outside of the Berry residence, it was midnight so it took her a while to gather her strength to do this but she did. The blonde clutched her left hand around the necklace she had just removed from her neck. The Cheerio then placed the necklace in her pocket and then started to climb up to her girlfriend's window. She hasn't done this before but she's always wanted to try it. As Quinn reached her designation she started knocking on the frosted over glass window, "Rachel?" she whispered out.

It didn't take the brunette long to open the window, "Quinn! What are you doing here?!" the brunette whispered out a yell, confused to why her girlfriend was struggling to climb through her window.

Quinn then climbed through the window and fell on the ground with a loud thump. "Ow!"

The brunette kneeled down next to her girlfriend, "Are you okay?"

The Cheerio nodded, "Yeah... But I'm sure I'll get a bruise," Quinn whined as she stood up, stretching her back.

"What are you doing here? I'll get in trouble if dad or daddy find you in here."

Quinn looked at her girlfriend, "I needed to see you."

"Could this have waited for tomorrow, weren't you coming in the morning to pick me up to go out?"

Rachel asked confused.

The blonde shook her head, "No it couldn't have, it needed to be tonight... Otherwise I don't think I would have told you."

"Told me what?" Rachel said guiding them to her bed.

Once they sat down at the end of the bed, Quinn looked at her girlfriend, "I lied to you," the blonde said nervously.

"Lied to me about what?" Rachel asked moving a little away from her girlfriend, she needed the distance, she was starting to freak out.

Quinn dug into her pocket and pulled out her necklace and handed it to her brunette to look at. Rachel examined it. It was a pair of dog-tags with every one of Quinn's family member's names on it. On one of them read; Steve, Judy, Paige, Jack and on the other one read Fran, Lachlan, Wyatt.

Rachel looked at her girlfriend for an explanation. "I lied to you about why I started going to church... It wasn't entirely because I wasn't able to play softball anymore." The brunette looked confused but nodded. "It's because of him," Quinn said as she pointed to the name Wyatt on her dog-tag.

"Wyatt?" Rachel looked at her girlfriend for an explanation, she's never heard Quinn mention a Wyatt before.

"He's Fran and Lachlan's son," Quinn said as she started to shake. Rachel saw her girlfriend start to shake and began to freak out, she's never seen Quinn so scared and vulnerable before, she moved in closer and took her hands and placed them in her girlfriend's hands, the brunette still was clinging onto the necklace. "Well he was..."

No tears filled the blonde's eyes, but you could tell she was fighting for them not to come. "Was?" Rachel asked softly. "The day I went to church for the first time, was the day Wyatt passed away."
"Oh Quinn..." Rachel whispered out as tears filled her eyes.
Quinn looked at her girlfriend scared that she's upset her because she lied. "I'm so sorry for lying, Rachel."

Rachel shook her head and lifted her hand up to wipe away her own tears. "Don't apologize. I'm not angry... I don't classify that as a lie, baby." The blonde looked at her girlfriend, with hopeful filled eyes. "You don't?"

The brunette again shook her head, "No Quinn... That must have been really hard for you to tell me... You went to church for two things, maybe Wyatt was the main reason but you weren't ready to confide in me about it... I'm not upset at all."
