Basically, I'll be writing in Quinn Fabray's point of view. I just felt that Glee didn't really put Quinn's feelings into words especially every after her breakups with the boyfriends.

HOPE YOU ENJOY? :D

Finally! It's graduation day in Yale. I enjoyed my 4 years of stay in New Haven. 4 years of studying Photography isn't that bad. I can actually say that I'm "Living the Good Life" here. Although, there's one thing that's really bothering me. My mom has been diagnosed with cancer for the past 2 months. STAGE 4. I didn't expect to have this kind of challenge ever. She's really weak now but I'm glad she got out of the hospital for 2 days to celebrate and attend my graduation. Robert, Judy's boyfriend, will be the one to go up on stage with me. Judy was advised to stay in a wheelchair while she's out of the hospital due to constant breakdowns.

As I go up on stage, I see her. I see my mom smiling at me. She's really proud of what I've become. No more craziness. No more pregnancies. No more failures.

"This is for you Mom!" I shouted from the stage to where she's sitting. She's really been my only family ever since we left Lima. No Glee Family. No dad. She's been my only inspiration ever since we got to New Haven. Boys? Who needs them? I mean, I've dated 2-3 guys. But no, they're not worth it. All they wanted was sex and alcohol and drugs. I have better things to do in life than be stuck with them. I'm not a man hatter. Just some of them are really worth the hate.

2 weeks after graduation, I went to the hospital to see my mom. I brought fruits, flowers, balloons and everything needed.

"Hey Quinny! There's my little girl." Judy said
"Hey Mom. How are you doing?" I asked
"Nothing's changed. Still the same. I actually have something to ask from you."
"What is it mom? Anything you want, I'll do my best."

"Sweetie, I want you to go back to Lima. The caretaker is still taking care of our house. She agreed to stay with you. Emma's been working for us for a long time. I trust her. And from now on, I trust you with the house. It's fully paid. You have nothing to worry about. Just start your Photography studio in Lima to pay your bills. I actually opened a bank for you ever since I knew I have cancer. I've been saving money for you so that when I'm gone..-"

"No mom! Don't say that. I have faith. You'll be healed! You'll get stronger. You'll be back to your old self! We'll continue our life here in New Haven!" I was both shocked and scared when I heard my mom's "dying wish". I don't want to disappoint her. Yet, I don't want to go back to Lima. It reminds me so much of pain and hardships. I didn't want to go back FOREVER.

"Quinny. Listen to me. You have to accept the fact that no matter what happens, one day, I'll be gone. You'll be on you own. You have to start a new life. I love you, Quinny. But there will always a time where we have to say goodbye."

I was speechless. I knew this day would come. My mom will be gone. I'll be on my own. I have a decision to make. Should I grant my mom's wish? Or should I just ignore that since I know what's best for me?

"I'll think about it Mom. I promise. I love you."

"Thank you, dear. I love you too."

Days have passed and I'm still not sure about my decision. What do I do? This is probably the hardest thing that's been on my mind besides confronting my horny math professor who's always behind me to get the fuck off. I know what I have to do. I'm just scared to do it.

As I walked to my mom's room, there were many doctors outside. A lot of people were panicking. I ran to the room and that's where I saw my mom. Lifeless. She's gone. It's over. I didn't even have the chance to tell her about my decision. I needed more time with her.

"Quinny. I'm sorry." Robert approached me with a big hug and full of tears.

I was speechless yet I didn't cry so much. Is this a sign that it was really her time? I guess my mom really assured me a good life without her. Robert gave me my mom's car keys and a bank book. He told me that my mom asked him to give it to me when she's gone.

I opened the bankbook and saw a note.

My dear Quinny, I want you to be happy with or without me. Okay? I love you so much and PLEASE. Take care of yourself. Take care of our house. May it be an instrument to remind you that I'll protect you no matter what. Love, Mom

And that's where I cried a lot. Tears of happiness and sorrow combined were crushing my heart. My mom really loved me.

3 weeks after my mom's death, I was getting ready to go back to Lima, Ohio. Her ashes were thrown out to the ocean as she requested. I packed all her stuff and brought it with me too Lima too. Robert helped me with everything. He promised me that even though my mom's gone, he'll try to help me as much as he can.

In about 2 hours, I'll be off to Lima. You've been really great New Haven. I promise to see you soon. Real soon. Especially if things won't be in a good way in Lima. I might be back in 3 days. But I'll try to stay. For my mom.

Goodbye, New Haven. Hello, Lima Ohio
