No Air With Boats and Birds, a glee fanfic

Italic is Quinn Bold are Santana and Brittany Bold and Italic's are the unholy trinity :D

Author's Note: It's not much, but I like it :)

Disclaimer: I wish I owned Glee. Then everyone would be happy.

It was a sad day for Quinn and Rachel. Rachel was leaving for Julliard tomorrow. They both knew it was inevitable, but Quinn couldn't help the hope that

crawled its way into her heart that maybe Beth and she were a good enough reason for Rachel to stay. Sadly that hope crumbled when Rachel came over

with the acceptance letter from Julliard. She would be leaving in 2 weeks. Knowing that, she began plotting ways to convince Rachel to stay. A few days later

she asked Rachel to follow her into the choir room. Rachel took her seat while Quinn organized the sheet music in front of her. A few moments later Brittany

and Santana came walking in, pinkies linked like always, and leaned against the piano facing her and Quinn. Quinn cleared her throat catching Rachel's

attention and giving her a small anxious smile. She opens her mouth and begins.

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air

If I should die before I wake

It's 'cause you took my breath away

Losing you is like living in a world with no air

Oh~

Rachel looked on with a puzzled look on her face. She feels her heart break as a tear trails down Quinn's cheek.

I'm here alone, didn't want you to leave

My heart won't move, it's incomplete

Wish there was a way that I can make you understand

Quinn looked straight into those beautiful brown eyes as the chorus neared.

But how do you expect me

To live alone with just me

'Cause my world revolves around you

It's so hard for me to breathe

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air

Can't live, can't breathe with no air

That's how I feel whenever you ain't there

There's no air, no air

Got me out here in the water so deep Tell me how you gon' be without me

If you ain't here, I just can't breathe

There's no air, no air

No air, air

I walked, I ran, I jumped, I flew

Right off the ground to float to you

There's no gravity to hold me down for real

But somehow I'm still alive inside

You took my breath, but I survived

I don't know how, but I don't even care

So how do you expect me

To live alone with just me

'Cause my world revolves around you

It's so hard for me to breathe

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air

Can't live, can't breathe with no air

That's how I fell whenever you ain't there

There's no air, no air

Got me out here in the water so deep

Tell me how you gon' be without me

If you ain't here, I just can't breathe

There's no air, no air

No air, air

No more

No air

There's no air, no air

Oooohhh

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air no air~

Can't live, can't breathe with no air

That's how I fell whenever you ain't there whenever you ain't there~

There's no air, no air

Got me out here in the water so deep so deep~

Tell me how you gon' be without me without me~

If you ain't here I just can't breathe

There's no air, no air

So how do you expect me

To live alone with just me

'Cause my world revolves around you

It's so hard for me to breathe

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air

Can't live, can't breathe with no air

Out of nowhere Santana goes down on one knee, with a ring in her hand, facing Brittany as they sing the next two lines.

That's how I feel whenever you ain't there

There's no air, no air

Brittany answered her unspoken question with a kiss full of passion. They both understood what that meant and started crying tears of joy into their kiss.

Quinn was left with just the piano and her voice.

Got me out here in the water so deep

Tell me how you gon' be without me

If you ain't here, I just can't breathe

There's no air, no air

No air, air

No air~

Dianna's teary gaze told Lea everything that she felt. All the sadness, love, hurt, and abandonment that she felt because of Lea leaving. Lea feels torn. She

didn't know what to do, go to New York and leave Quinn and Beth behind or stay here with them and let all of her dreams go to waste? She did the only

thing she felt she should do at that moment. She ran.

5 days passed since Quinn had seen Rachel. She tried talking to her, but the girl would just walk right past her like she wasn't even there. Today was no

different and Quinn was getting so depressed, she decided that if she and Beth weren't enough then she had no choice, but to let her go. The next day

during lunch is when she finally found Rachel in the choir room except that she wasn't practicing her various vocal exercises, she was just staring blankly at

the nothing. Quinn walked in and Rachel looked straight at her while Quinn went to grab Puck's guitar.

She sat in front of her and before she began she looked at the ground then back to Rachel's eyes with tears in her eyes and whispered,

"I'm sorry"

If you'll be my star

I'll be your sky

You can hide underneath me and come out at night

When I turn jet black and you show off your light

I live to let you shine

But you can skyrocket away from me

And never come back if you find another galaxy

Far from here with more room to fly

Just leave me your stardust to remember you by

If you be my boat

I'll be your sea

A depth of pure blue just to probe curiosity

Ebbing and flowing and pushed by a breeze

I live to make you free

But you can set sail to the west if you want to

And past the horizon till I can't even see you

Far from here where the beaches are wide

Just leave me your wake to remember you by

If you be my star

I'll be your sky

You can hide underneath me and come out at night

When I turn jet black and you show off your light

I live to let you shine

But you can skyrocket away from me

And never come back if you find another galaxy

Far from here with more room to fly

Just leave me your stardust to remember you by

Stardust to remember you by

Tears flow down Quinn's cheeks as she lets the last note linger and looks back up from the ground at Rachel seeing her cry too. Rachel knows that this was

meant to be a goodbye, but she didn't want it to happen. Right then and there she made her decision and no one was ever going to defy it.

3 years later

Quinn wakes up and stretches, muscles sore from an enjoyable late night work out. She lies back down and listens to Rachel's light snores as she moves in

to spoon her. She can hear Beth watching cartoons in the living room. She looks outside and sees the busy New York streets waiting for the day to begin.
