Mixing Spanish Words with English Pronunciation

My friend consistently (and patiently!) corrects me whenever I say, "pequeña" because I say "pe-kway-nya" and not "pe-kay-nya."
My questions: Why have the "u" beside the "q" if you're not pronouncing the sound? What is the purpose of the "u" beside the "q"?

Why do almost all "q" words in English have a "u" following it. It just is the way it is.
