Lima, Ohio 2013
It's been 3 years since I met The One. She's been my everything since the day I got slushied and she was my angel. Her eyes enchanted me that day, and I haven't been able to break that spell she has put me under. No matter what, I will always love her. Not even after she ripped my heart out and gave it to one, Finn Hudson.
Quinn Fabray.
We dated for a few months and I can tell you now, they were the best months of my life. All went downhill when she turned to her first love, my mate, Finn. When I found out, I was so broken, destroyed and turned to a rebound. Santana Lopez. I never got over Quinn but although I was torn in pieces by her, I forgave her because you always forgive your first loves.
We went on in life and we both had our hardships. She was dumped by Finn who then went to his true love, Rachel Berry. I was happy for them they were so in love, but, it killed me to see Quinn so broken and fragile.
I was also homeless and poor. My parents both lost there jobs so my parents, brother, sister and I lived in a motel for a while which was when I began to mend my relationship with Quinn and we became friends. Deep down I always wanted more, but I didn't act, I was scared of what Quinn had the ability to do to me and my heart.
Summer came and my parents decided to move. We could afford a house though it was tiny but it was an upgrade from the motel. I hated having to leave Lima, my friends and Quinn. Though the problem was I couldn't think like that. You see, I had this thing going on with Mercedes. She was a sweet girl and I really liked her. I began to forget about Quinn and I felt myself becoming happy again. Then when I moved, I didn't know what to feel. I mean, I knew I was going to miss Mercedes but I felt like something was missing, someone was missing.
While away, I did some things I'm not very proud of but my parents needed the money and to me, nothing is more important than helping my family. I became a stripper. One night during one of my particularly well-paid shows, Rachel and Finn decided to show up. They updated me on McKinley gossip which I only partially listened to while counting my big bucks until they mentioned her name. Quinn. I couldn't believe what I was hearing and only got snippets, skanks… pink hair… smoking…drinking. I didn't even pay much attention when I found out Mercedes was dating someone else.
That was how I ended up back in the halls of McKinley High school and into the one room that felt like home. The moment I stepped through the doors, the first thing I noticed was the sad hazel eyes that once sparkled like the stars. When suddenly her gaze locked mine… which was when I knew I was home.
I then heard about the Beth situation and all I wanted to do was hold Quinn and make her pain go away but I knew that would only make things complicated so I decided that being friends was the best option and I needed a distraction. So I began chasing after Mercedes. I convinced myself that I could be happy with her like I once was.
Then my worst nightmare happened, and I almost lost her. Not her as in my now-girlfriend Mercedes. No, I nearly lost my Quinn. She was in a car accident and temporarily paralyzed. I tried so hard to not let it get to me more than it should but it was darn hard. Whenever she would sing or try and roll up a hill. My heart would ache for her.
No, I couldn't let myself fall under her spell again… little did I realize I had never fallen out of it. Then the miracle came and she was able to walk again, I couldn't believe it. I felt as if the whole world had lifted this weight off my shoulders.
Quinn was then offered a position at Yale University and I couldn't have been happier for her. If anyone deserved it, she did. The sad part about this year, was it was the final year for the majority of the seniors in club. They were all leaving to fulfill their dreams, including Quinn.
The next year I began dating Brittany and she was nice and I really thought I loved her. Though I always felt as if something was missing. I spent my final year at McKinley as happy as I could be and got into college and studying to became a successful journalist. This was when my world begun to fall apart.
