PROLOGUE
~Love means exposing yourself to the pain of being hurt. . .
It was the first Glee Club meeting since their epic triumph at Sectionals. The club leaves to see another day despite Sue Sylvester's best efforts.
At least Quinn Fabray hoped that it was her best effort.
As much as she hates to admit it, the Glee Club is all she has left.
No Cheerios.
No popularity.
No Finn Hudson.
The last one stings her most of all. With no intent, she managed to destroy him. Quinn Fabray doesn't do that. Oh yes, she humiliates, ridicules, embarrass and all the synonyms you can think with it but . . . She does it because she wanted to.
She didn't want this.
"I guess we'll get started," Mr. Schuester sighs.
Quinn stole a quick glance to Puck, who reluctantly tore his gaze away from the doorway. Finn had made it clear that they weren't "cool" with each other.
Her sight landed on Rachel next. Of course, she was perky and annoying as usual. Still, Quinn didn't missed the quick glance towards the doorway.
She truly did not hold a grudge against her for being a tattle-tale. The timing couldn't be any more worse, but it had to happen eventually.
They were screwed at Sectionals. Quinn could feel fear wrapping its arms around her. Jacob replacing Finn is a downgrade (to say the least). As if it weren't enough, the two schools performed their chosen number. She's going to lose the one thing she has left.
They were oh-so screwed.
Then along came Finn Hudson. It was obvious he was hurting but somehow, he managed to gather the group together and prop them to rise to the occasion (which they did).
Quinn remembered seeing Puck raising his arm asking "So we cool?". Quinn had never hoped so hard for Finn to say "Yes." If he said yes, then maybe there was hope for the two of them too!
Finn said no.
Still, Quinn tried to. . . she couldn't remember. Apologize? She already did that and it doesn't seem nowhere enough.
It was just as well that Finn just ignored her and went to Rachel. She had no idea what to say or do.
Today, there was no Finn Hudson in Glee Club. Most likely there never will be.
Short Prologue. Hope it catches your attention. I was quite miffed that the writers just tossed the fallout between Quinn/Finn/Puck to the curb in the Back 9.
