Disclaimer: I do not own Glee in any part or its characters, if I did life at McKinley would have been so very different, neither do I own the song or Atomic Kitten.
A/N: Something that could've kick started Quick into action at the beginning of season 3 (I wish!) set just after I Am Unicorn. This is my second attempt at a fan story, please let me know what you think, thanksJ
"Mr Schue? Can I have the floor for a few minutes, please? I have something I'd like to sing," Quinn asked quietly.
"Of course, Quinn, it's nice to have you back in Glee with us, we've all missed you," Mr Schuester smiled at Quinn then sat down with the others.
Quinn took her place in front of the class, took a deep breath then nodded at the band. She started to sing, quietly at first then gaining confidence. Quinn made sure to keep looking above the heads of her team mates, not wanting them to see the tears shimmering in her eyes.
"If you see me walking down the street
Staring at the sky and dragging my two feet,
You just pass me by,
It still makes me cry,
But you can make me whole again.
If you see me with another man laughing and joking,
Doing what I can,
I won't put you down,
'cause I want you around,
'cause you can make me whole again"
(Quinn glanced towards him, her eyes zeroed in on his)
"Looking back on when we first met,
I cannot escape and I cannot forget,
Baby, you're the one
You still turn me on,
You can make me whole again"
(Quinn looked away, towards the feet of everyone sat in the front row)
"Time is laying heavy on my heart
Seems I've got too much of it since we've been apart,
My friends make me smile if only for while,
You can make me whole again"
(All girls joining in with the chorus)
"Looking back on when we first met,
I cannot escape and I cannot forget,
Baby, you're the one
You still turn me on,
You can make me whole again"
(Quinn risked looking up again and making eye contact with the only person that really mattered to her, speaking the next few lines of the song directly to him)
"For now I'll have to wait,
But, baby, if you change your mind don't be too late,
'cause I just can't go on,
It's already been too long,
But you can make me whole again"
(all Glee girls)
"Looking back on when we first met,
I cannot escape and I cannot forget,
Baby, you're the one
You still turn me on,
You can make me whole again
Looking back on when we first met,
I cannot escape and I cannot forget,
Baby, you're the one
You still turn me on,
You can make me whole again"
(Quinn alone)
"Ooh, baby, you're the one,
You still turn me on,
But you can make me whole again"
Once the music ended she looked back up to see the rest of the glee club darting looks between herself and Puck. He knew, they knew, she knew that she had been singing to him, only to him. Slowly Puck rose from his seat, his eyes never leaving hers, he walked over to her.
Puck took Quinn in his arms, gave her a soft kiss on top of her head and said "I've missed you too babe, welcome back"
Quinn's arms came up to hug Puck, sobbing quietly, her head tucked into his chest, slowly she lifted her head and tried to smile through the tears, "Can we talk?"
"Sure, Mr Schue, can we get out of here early?" Puck asked, still not letting her go, not quite believing that he had Quinn in his arms again.
"Yes go, get out of here you two," Mr Schue smiled at them.
They grabbed their bags and left the room, hearing the chatter of their team mates as they walked hand in hand down the corridor away from all eyes…
