Chapter 6.
Rachel came to halt in doorway, blinking couple of time. Please let this be a dream she though, closing her eyes. Taking a deep breath, she opened her eyes after few seconds, her heart shattering when she saw Quinn and Finn in front of her, kissing.
Tears filled her eyes.
Rachel watched Finn pull away from Quinn, keeping his arms wrapped around her waist. He glanced up and saw Rachel watching her, he smiled. "I told you she'll come back to me"
More tears filled her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. Instead she glanced towards her. "Quinn…" She began her voice breaking. Seeing Finn's hand tighten on Quinn's waist, she took a step closer. She opened her mouth to say something, expect no words came out. She saw Finn watching her, smiling at her.
"You don't belong with him. He'll hurt you" She began before pausing, hesitating when she saw Finn watching her, with rage. She swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat. "I love you Quinn" tears that she been holding, fell from her eyes, rolling down her cheek. "I love you, way he doesn't"
"Rachel!" She heard a voice besides her. Rachel's eyes instantly snapped open and she glanced around. Realizing that she was still in Quinn's hospital room, she sighed, in relief. "Rach? Are you okay? You were crying" She heard a soft voice besides her.
Sniffling, she lifted her head up and saw Brittany kneeling besides her. Brittany's hand rested on her knee as she looked up at her with alarmed expression. Rachel glanced away from her and glanced towards where Quinn laid. "Rachel" Brittany began, giving her knee a small squeeze. "You have to stop torturing yourself. It can't be healthy for you"
"It doesn't matter, how I am" She responded, keeping her eye contact with Quinn's pale expression. Reaching out towards her with her shaking hand, she traced her fingers across Quinn's cheek. "Finn's right" She began, through her tears. "I caused this"
Rachel felt Brittany take her hand, squeezing it tight. "Don't listen to him. This isn't your fault" Brittany began before pausing. She glanced towards Quinn, for a second. "Quinn wouldn't want you to blame yourself"
Rachel spun around, her face streamed with tears. "Quinn isn't here, and even if she was, she'll hate me"
"She won't. She love you, Berry" came a voice from doorway. Brittany and Rachel turned around, seeing Puck watching them.
"How can you possibly know that?" She snapped, before facing Quinn again. Not noticing the way he exchanged look with Brittany.
"Brittany" He began, stepping inside the room. "I need to talk to her, privately" Nodding at him, she gave Rachel's hand another squeeze and walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.
"There's nothing to talk about, Noah" She stated, her voice coming out harsher than she intended it to be.
"Do you think that you are the only one who this is hard on?" He snapped after few minutes, his voice harsh. "I love her!" He blurted out, causing Rachel to turn around and watch him, with wide eyes. When Rachel's eyes met him, he glanced away, looking towards Quinn. "I seen the way she looked at you" He paused.
He took a step towards Quinn's bed, watching her. "The way I wish she would look at me" He said after few seconds of silence. "It was my baby too" He added.
Silence filled the room. Rachel took a step towards him, pulling him into a hug. "You're right. I'm sorry" She whispered, resting her head against his shoulder. The two of them stood near Quinn's bed, holding one another.
After few moments, Rachel pulled away from him, glancing towards where Quinn laid. "You really think she'll forgive me?" She asked him, her voice soft, keeping her gaze on her still form.
Puck sighed. "Berry, how many times do we have go through this?" He stated, frustrated. "She loves you, She'll forgive you" He responded, glancing towards the monitors that were hooked up to her, and then back towards Quinn.
Rachel took a step closer, taking Quinn's hand into hers. "Yeah, expect she doesn't know I love her. I'm pretty sure she thinks I hate her, considering fact what happened last time I saw her" She responded softly. I should kissed her back, and this wouldn't happen thought ran through her mind over again. Rachel could hear Puck's voice but it seemed far away. All she saw was Quinn's face.
Rachel felt Quinn's lips on hers, Rachel took a step closer, wrapping her arms around Quinn's neck, pulling her closer, towards her. Pulling back for moment, she glanced into her eyes. "Are you sure you want to do this?" She asked her, in anxious voice.
Quinn placed her hand on her shoulders, smiling up at her. "Of course I'm sure. I love you Rachel" Her smile faded, her smile fading. "Don't you love me Rachel?"
"Berry!" She heard a voice. Blinking, she saw Puck besides her. "You need to go home, get some rest"
Rachel glanced at Quinn, tears filling her eyes. She shook her head and sat down on the chair that was besides Quinn's bed, holding onto her hand. "I can't… leave her" She responded, her voice breaking.
He placed a hand on her shoulder. "I'll stay with her; I'll call you the moment she wakes up"
Rachel shook her head. "I can't do that, Noah. I want be here when she wakes up"
"You going make yourself sick" He responded. Kneeling down in front of her, placing his hand underneath her chin, he lifted it till she was facing him. "If you don't get some rest. You going end up in hospital yourself. Do it for her, Rachel. Do it for Quinn"
Rachel looked at him for moment, hesitating. "Do you promise not to leave her?"
"I promise"
Getting up from the chair, she leaned down and gave Quinn a quick kiss on cheek. "Please wake up, for me" She whispered in her ear, even though she was sure that she couldn't hear her. Sniffling, she faced Puck. "If she wakes up while I'm gone, tell her I'm sorry"
"Ra…" He began, stopping when he saw Rachel shaking her head.
"Please"
"Okay, I promise" Rachel smiled at him. Glancing at Quinn one more time, she walked out of her room, closing the door behind her.
Rachel opened the wine cabinet. Stop! A voice screamed at her, she ignored it. Grabbing a bottle out of cabinet before closing it and walked into a kitchen, grabbing a glass and pouring her some wine. What are you doing? This isn't an answer, Rachel! It screamed while she took a sip, then another.
All Rachel wanted, was to forget. Taking the bottle and glass with her, she made her way towards her room, closing it behind her. Sitting on her bed, she came across a picture of her and Quinn and drank the rest of the glass, before putting glass down and started drinking from the bottle. "Just make it stop" She whispered, taking another sip.
