I Feel Pretty When You're Around

Chapter 34

Once Quinn ran to her car, she took off with no intention of going home. She knew her girlfriend would drive over to her house later today and she wasn't in the mood to see her right now. Quinn was hurt... Why wouldn't she be... Yes she knew that her girlfriend's dream was to become a Broadway star and wanted to move to New York straight after high school but does that mean that she has to drop her dream for the brunette's? That seems a little unfair. All she wanted was for Rachel to consider her dream. She didn't expect Rachel to drop her dream to fulfill her own. She just wanted to be thought of... was that much to ask for?

The blonde ended up driving to her mother's work in search for some mother, daughter time.

Once she stepped into her mother's office, the taller blonde looked up to see who entered. Judy was shocked to see her daughter standing there. She jumped off her chair "Quinn, are you okay?" the older blonde asked concerned.

Quinn stared at her mom, trying to hold her emotions in but she couldn't... she just broke down in tears and shook her head. Judy rushed over to her distraught daughter and wrapped her arms protectively around the younger blonde.

"Quinnie, what happened?"

The young blonde didn't answer straight away. She couldn't because she was almost hyperventilating. Judy just continued to comfort her daughter until Quinn was ready to talk.

Once Quinn's tears stopped the younger blonde moved out of her mother's arms and looked up to her. "Rachel a... and I..." Quinn squeezed out before she broke down in her mother's arms again.

"Did you and Rachel have a fight Sweetie?" Judy asked worried.

Quinn just nodded into her mother's shoulder.

The older women moved out of the embraced and then looked down at her daughter "Come on Quinnie, come sit down on the couch and tell me all about it."

The co-head cheerleader moved with her mom to the couch in the older blonde's work office. After Quinn calmed down, she told her mother about the fight she had with her girlfriend. Judy nodded and waited till the girl was finished before she said anything.

"This is yours and Rachel's first big fight?"

Quinn nodded and wiped away her tears. "You and Rachel will get through this, Quinnie. You know that right?"

The blonde looked up at her mom "Yeah I know. But was I wrong to leave? It just hurt knowing that Rachel didn't even take the time to even ask me about my dreams, let alone even consider doing them with me," Quinn said as fresh tears filled her eyes.

"No it's not wrong Quinn; you're allowed to be hurt about that. Rachel didn't think about your dreams at all, yet you have chosen to consider hers. You even applied for colleges in New York because of her."

Quinn looked at her mom "Is there a but?"

Judy gave her daughter a small smile "Yes."

"And what is that?"

"You are talking about Rachel Berry, Quinn. I might not have known Rachel that long Sweetie but I have come to find that she is a very determined and single-minded person and I know you know that about her. I don't think she has ever thought to put someone else's dream in front of hers before. So just think about that before you talk to her again."

"But all I wanted was for her to think about me, mom. Was that too much to ask?"

"No, no I don't believe it is. And I'm sure Rachel feels horrible right now because of it."

"Yeah I guess you're right." Quinn nodded.

"Of course I'm right Quinnie, I'm your mother." Judy smiled, pulling her daughter into another hug.
