"Come on Beth you're going to be late for your volley ball game!" Shelby called from downstairs.
"Hold on Mom I'm coming!" the thirteen year old responded. It was Beth's championship volleyball game and she was excited. She came running down stairs in her volleyball uniform, with her long wavy blond hair up in a high ponytail.
"Are Mom and Dad going to be there?" Beth asked referring to Puck and Quinn.
Shelby handed Beth her jacket, "Yes that's what they said sweetie. Now come on you're going to be late."
Beth put on her jacket, grabbed her sports bag, and followed Shelby out the door. It was a cold January morning and Beth could see her breath as she ran towards the car. She threw her bag in the back seat and buckled herself in. Shelby turned the heat on in the car and started pulling out of the driveway.
"Didn't you set your alarm last night?"
"No I forgot, I was too busy with homework. I wanted to get it done before I went over to Mom and Dad's tonight."
Shelby sighed and continued driving, "I just hope we'll make it. Next time please set your alarm?"
Beth smiled, "I won't."
The roads were icy and Shelby was driving pretty fast, "Mom you should slow down a little bit. The roads are icy," said Beth. Shelby came to a quick stop as she saw the light change from yellow to red. Instead of stopping, the car went into the intersection.
"Oh no," said Shelby trying to take back control of the car, but the car continued to spin. Beth then noticed a car driving towards them about to hit Shelby's side of the car.
Shelby touched Beth's leg, "Are you okay?"
"Mom watch out!" Beth exclaimed. It was too late for the other car to stop. Shelby turned and looked out her side window and for Beth everything went black.

Quinn's eyes fluttered open and noticed a shirtless Puck walking into the room and jumping back on the bed, making Quinn laugh.
"Sleep well Mrs. Puckerman?" he asked.
"Yes I did, thank you for asking Mr. Puckerman," said Quinn before Puck kissed her on the neck and continued kissing her. The two had gotten married two years prior. After Shelby's offer to them in high school for them being a part of Beth's life, spending time with Beth over the years made them both notice their love for each other.
Quinn giggled, "Come on we have to get ready for Beth's volleyball game."
Puck tucked a piece of her short blond hair behind her ear, "We have plenty of time."
"No we don't we have like twenty minutes."
Puck kissed her one last time and got back out of bed, "Alright, I'm gonna take a quick shower."
"Okay," said Quinn as Puck walked into the bathroom.
Quinn stood up from the bed and walked over to her mirror. She still had the same hairstyle she had in her senior year in high school, she grew quite fond of it. Quinn adjusted her hair and started taking off her pants just as her phone rang. She pulled them back up and walked back over towards her side table.
It was a number the Quinn was unaware of but she answered it anyway. "Hello?"
"Is this Quinn Puckerman?"
"Yes it is, who's calling?"
"Well I'm form Lima Hospital and we have Shelby and Beth Corcoran here after a car accident and you need to get down here immediately," said the woman on the other end.
Tears started to roll down Quinn's cheeks, she could not speak, "Mrs. Puckerman?" the woman asked again to see if Quinn was still there.
"We'll be right there," said Quinn through her tears. She hung up and ran towards the bathroom.
"Puck, Shelby and Beth were in a car accident and they're at the hospital and…"
Before Quinn could finish Puck came out of the bathroom and held Quinn for a moment before running back into the bedroom to throw on a t-shirt. He came out and took Quinn's hand as they left the house.

After being unconscious for several hours, Beth opened her eyes. She looked around her, she was in a hospital room. The walls were blue and she was lying in a hospital bed wearing a hospital gown. She looked at her arms and noticed cuts and bruises all over. There were flowers, cards, and balloons scattered around the room. Beth breathed in trying to recollect what happened but, nothing.
She looked to her right to see Quinn holding her one hand with her head resting on the bed as she slept. Puck who was also asleep, was sitting in the chair next to her. Beth slightly moved her hand to see if Quinn would wake up and sure enough, she did. Quinn sat up and rubbed her eyes.
"Mom?" Beth asked.
Quinn started to cry again, "Oh Beth."
Beth started to cry out of confusion, "W…what happened?"
"It's okay baby girl I'm here," said Quinn reaching up and placing a gentle kiss on her cheek where a few scratches were. Beth looked over to see that Puck was awake too.
"Hey B, how are you feeling?"
"I'm sore and my head hurts," said Beth placing her hand on her forehead.
"We're just glad you're okay," said Puck.
"Wait where's Mom?" Beth asked. Quinn and Puck looked towards each other.
Quinn spoke up, "Sweetheart do you remember what happened?"
Beth thought long and hard and soon she started to remember everything. That morning, the cold air, the icy roads. How Shelby was driving fast to get to Beth's game, when the yellow light changed to red and the car would not stop. The look on Shelby's face when she turned to look out the window.
Beth started to cry again, "Sh...she's dead, isn't she?"
Quinn and Puck both nodded as Beth started to sob. Quinn reached over again and put her arms around her. Beth slowly put her hand on Quinn's back and held out her other hand for Puck to take. Puck kissed the top of her hand.
"Don't leave me," said Beth barely making out the words.
Puck shook his head, "We won't."
Was it good? I hope to have the next chapter longer! This is just the beginning and I have a lot planned!
