For Quinn this Monday morning seemed especially hard. Maybe it was the fact she had fallen asleep for only a total of three hours or that the first thing she saw when she walked into McKinley High was Rachel and Finn together. She was sure it was Rachel with Finn but even thinking about the brunette caused her beautiful façade to break and so she hurries into the auditorium. There are a few lights on stage so she makes her way there and sits behind the piano and with tears rolling down her cheeks she begins to play the intro to Damien Rice's 9 Crimes. Quinn is so into playing she doesn't notice that someone else has entered the auditorium.
Quinn breaths deeply and then she starts to sing.
Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be thinking of you
It's the wrong time
For somebody new
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse
Quinn sings with all she has pouring emotion out in her voice and through the keys of the piano of which she is playing.
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
If u don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright
With you?
Quinn manages to get through the first part of the song but can't continue as the pain she is feeling engulfs her. She cries for the girl she will never have and the life she is now living. Then arms are around her and Quinn is pulled into a hug by none other than Santana.
"Q, shhh, its okay. I'm here for you."
Santana wasn't big on the touchy feely shit but she had seen Quinn go from the girl who was her best friend to someone she didn't even know. It was because of this Santana knew she had to be there for her because it didn't seem anyone else was going to be.
Quinn cries into Santana's shoulder grateful to have someone there for her. She pulls back a little and looks into her friends eyes.
"Why is this so hard? I love her but she seems so happy. All I want is for her to be happy, San."
Santana pulls Quinn to her once more. She rests her head on top of Quinn's head. She sighs knowing she is going to regret saying what she is about to but she fears if she doesn't she might lose her friend.
"Q, I know you said you wanted Rachel to be happy but did you ever think of your own happiness? Did you ever think to go after your girl with all you had?"
Quinn pulls completely away from Santana and wipes her eyes before she answers.
"No your right I never thought of myself but do I really have any chance especially after the way I have treated her?"
"Q, you have a chance, don't ever doubt yourself and besides with my plan you can never go wrong. Now we should both be getting to class and I will see you in Glee today, because that is where my plan starts and don't worry it's not entirely my plan. Sam was actually the mastermind behind the whole thing. I just helped."
With that Santana waits for Quinn to gather her things and the two walk out of the auditorium.
For Quinn most of the day is spent wondering what her friends plan is so when the bell signaling the end of school rings Quinn is out of her seat quickly and moving to the choir room. She sits in a chair on the far side of the room away from the others, except Sam, Santana and Brittany come and sit with her as well. Mr. Schuster walks into the room and writes the word Musicals on the board.
"This will be the topic for the next three weeks. I have split the class up and have given each group a musical to work on."
Rachel pouts. "But Mr. Schue I think my talents..."
Santana quickly interjects. "Shut it Berry and just go with the plan."
Mr. Schue clears his throat. "Ok here are the musicals that we will be working with, The Phantom of the Opera, Wicked, Rent, West Side Story, Beauty and the Beast and Repo! The Genetic Opera. Now the groups are as follows and you cannot change them. Rachel, Finn and Sam will be working on the Phantom, Santana, Brittany and Artie on Wicked, Mercedes and Kurt on Rent, Mike and Tina on the West Side Story, Lauren and Puck on Beauty and the Beast and last but not least Quinn will be working on Repo! The Genetic Opera."
Once Mr. Schue finishes speaking everyone is talking about the projects but Quinn's mind is whirling with questions and the main thought in her head is, "Why couldn't I be Eric to Rachel's Christine?" Quinn quickly gathers up her things and leaves the choir room. She is quickly followed by Santana, San and Brittany.
Sam catches up to Quinn and stops her. "So what do you think of my plan?"
Quinn snarls, "It sucks, I'm alone and all I wanted to do was sing with Rachel."
Santana smiles, "That's why we set it up this way. Sam will know what song they are singing and we can switch you out for Finn when the day to perform comes."
Quinn looks at her friends stunned, Sam smiles and walks with her to her car. Once they are at her car Sam turns to her. "In the meantime you should probably watch the movie Repo The Genetic Opera so you can pick your song" Sam pulls a DVD case from his bag and hands it to her. Quinn takes it. Sam smiles at her sheepishly.
"Well I better get back inside because knowing Rachel she will already have a plan, I'll text you tonight to let you know what song so you can prepare and make a costume."
Sam leaves Quinn standing in the parking lot as she thinks over this plan. A small smile graces her features as she climbs into her car. She thinks to herself, "Maybe this won't be so bad."
