Author Note: Hi guys! I'm back! Did anyone miss me? I'm just kidding. I had this idea in my head for awhile. I hadn't found the time to upload it with the school year ending and the state testing. This takes place just as Quinn moves in with Mercedes, and Jesse never egged Rachael so they're still together. I hope you guys like this story as much as the last, if not more. Hope you enjoy!

I Still Believe
I'm done with you! I'm done with all of you! Those two sentences have haunted me for weeks. I was laying on my bed in my now almost empty room. I was now leaving the Puckerman household to live with my new friend, Mercedes Jones. All of my boxes were packed, loaded into Puck's truck and ready to be taken over the next day.
I looked around in the plain, light blue colored room. Lately, when I had nothing on her mind, it drifted to that dreaded day when the love of my life had broken up with me. I knew that I didn't deserve him and that he would find out the truth. But my lying skills improved so much that I almost fooled herself into thinking that this baby was really Finn's. Almost.
Soon my eyes began to tear up just thinking about him. And the pregnancy hormones weren't really helping either. That night, like many, I cried myself to sleep.
Early the next day, I got ready and met Puck downstairs. He drove me over to the house that would soon become my home. When we arrived Mercedes was already waiting for us outside.
"Hey, girl" Mercedes greeted as she gave me a hug.
"Are you sure you and your parents are ok with this?" I asks for about the hundredth time. I really didn't want to bother anymore people with my problems.
"Yes, Quinn. Like I said, my parents are perfectly find with this. Plus, we have an extra room since my brother moved out. Now quit worrying."
"Thank you." I praised giving Mercedes another hug. I really was happy to be moving out of Puck's house. First, his mom didn't really like me because I wasn't Jewish. Second, his sister could be very annoying at times when she doesn't get her way. Third, Puck is always playing Super Mario Bros. while I sat on the couch. And lastly, none of us could eat bacon!
"Now, Puck. Why don't you be a good boy and help Quinn take her stuff into her new room?" Mercedes instructed.
"Whatever." he comments as he starts unloading his truck.
While Puck was taking my stuff upstairs, Mercedes took me to meet her mom and dad in the living room.
"Mom, Dad, I want you guys to meet my friend Quinn. Quinn this is my mom and this is my dad." Mercedes introduces us.
"Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Jones. Thank you so much for letting me stay here. Are you sure I'm not intruding or anything?" I shyly asked.
"Of course not Quinn. You seem to be very nice, and from Mercedes has told me you have helped her a bit with accepting herself in school. We want to thank you for that. Besides, now that my little boy is gone, you really would be helping by filling the emptiness of his room. It would make this feel the same, so there isn't an emptiness lingering over us." Mrs. Jones politely replies.
"Thank you again."
"So, I'm gonna take Quinn upstairs and help her unpack her stuff, ok." Mercedes excuses us and takes us upstairs. She kindly helps to and Puck unpack all my stuff.
When we finish, I take a look at the room and feel like this is all a fresh start. "Thanks for helping guys."
"No problem." Mercedes tells me.
"Yeah. Glad I could help." Puck checks his watch. "Oh, crap. I gotta get home before my mom freaks out. Quinn, if you ever need anything, just give me a call, ok?"
"I will. Thanks, Puck."
After he leaves, Mercedes and I start to bond and adjust to living with new people. Maybe this won't be so bad after all.
It was now Monday and the whole group was in the choir room. Their conversation was on the upcoming Regionals. And of course, Rachael and her new boyfriend, Jesse St. James, were arguing with Mr. Shue about solos.
Most of the class wasn't even paying any attention, since it didn't really have much to do with them. I let my eyes fall onto the back of my ex-boyfriend's head. He seemed to be staring at Rachael.
After glee, I really wanted to talk to Finn to least find out where we stand. I mean are we even friends anymore? But when the bell rang, he practically ran out of there. I tried chasing after him but he was too fast. This left me in the hall alone. That's when I finally heard footsteps.
"What do you think you were doing?" Rachael accused me.
"No that it's any of your concern, but I was trying to talk to Finn." I answered harshly.
"Why would he talk to you after everything you did to him? You didn't just cheat on him but you also lied about it. You used his weak points to make him think that you were really having your baby." Rachael countered. "Besides he loves me now."
I held back the urge to lunge at her and instead replied with my ruling voice coming into affect. "You really think he loves you? Have you ever thought about the possibility that you just may be the rebound girl for him? He practically ran into your arms after our break up."
"That was just a little coincidence."
"And you think you're actually helping him. Rubbing in your relationship with Jesse right in front of him?"
"You know what Quinn? You have no right in his relationship business anymore since you ruined your own. You just had to be that girl to break his heart into a million little pieces because you couldn't reject the womanizer of the school. Then you make it worse by lying to him. You were a horrible girlfriend to him!"
That really hit home. Now that I thought about it, before the pregnancy I was pretty bad to him. But I changed right. We loved each other. I still love him.
I kept quiet long enough that Rachael continued. "You're no longer the perfect queen, where the world has to revolve around you. Can't you just accept the fact that you ruined your chances with Finn? You hurt him so bad, Quinn. Not just that but you also humiliated him in front of the whole school."
"I know. You don't think I feel terrible about that. You can't imagine how much I wish that I was really carrying Finn's baby or how much I want to take back that night when I lost it all to Puck. "
"Just give it up, Quinn. You do not have a chance with Finn anymore. The faster you realize that, the better you will feel." With that, Rachael Berry stormed off.
"It's not over between me and Finn. I still love him. And I still believe that he loves me, too." I whisper into the empty hallway. At least I hope that he does.
