Quinn Fabray had always been the perfect one. Pretty, popular and pure. Clean teen, head cheer leader and a shoe in for prom queen. Until she had been incredibly stupid and gotten pregnant at sixteen. She wasn't even sure why she had given something to special to someone like Puck. She had lost everything. Finn didn't want to know her not that she blamed him. Her friends hated her as did her parents and she had given away her precious girl. Talk about a rough year.

She still wasn't welcome round her dad, her mom was willing to speak to her again but Quinn wasn't sure she could go back there so instead she was moving in with her aunt.

A fresh start could be just the thing she needed. It wasn't like she could come back from the terrible things she had done in Lima. She hadn't told anyone she was going. Santana would have just blabbed to everyone if she had told her. It wasn't like it needed to be a huge secret but Quinn wasn't a fan of teary goodbyes or the drama.

She looked at her new bedroom and smiled. Plain cream walls, a beautiful wooden sleigh bed and tiny lavender flowers embroidered onto her bed spread. Pretty and simple just how she liked it.

"Lucy are you coming down for lunch?" Her aunt called

Quinn rolled her pretty green eyes. Her Aunt Alison had never gotten used to calling her by her chosen name. She was going to have to. She might be having a new start from her troubles but that did not involve going back to being plain old Lucy Fabray.

"It's Quinn and I'll be right down" she replied.

Quinn stopped unpacking and smoothed down her navy blue dress. She headed downstairs greeting her aunt with a beaming smile.

"So what are we having?" She asked.

"I was thinking maybe we could go out for something to eat" Alison suggested "get you out of the house for awhile we can finish unpacking later."

Quinn nodded. It would do her good to get out and about she'd been feeling so down lately. Plus it wouldn't hurt to get used to Forks. Sure it was small but it would help to know her way around.

Alison took Quinn to the diner. Her niece was looking far too skinny for someone who had not long had a baby. She wasn't convinced Quinn had been taking care of herself and she was sure her sister hadn't been. It hurt her to think Judy could hurt her daughter like that. Alison had never had children of her own and Quinn had always been special to her.

"So I'm thinking I'll just have a salad" Quinn decided looking down at the menu.

"Quinn that's not real food" Alison exclaimed raising an eyebrow.

"If I want to fit back in my old clothes..."she started.

"Quinn you are tiny now I don't know what nonsense your mother was filling your head with but in my house we eat real meals" Alison interrupted " you are a beautiful special girl Lucy and I will prove that to you"

Quinn was so touched by her aunts kind words she didn't even pick up on the name slip. It had been a long time since anyone had been so nice to her. She felt the tears spring to her eyes much to her annoyance. Surely it wasn't natural for someone to cry as much as she had this last year even with hormones sending her crazy.

Quinn forced a smile instead refusing to give in and break down.

"Fine I'll have a burger" she decided.

It was nice just to sit and talk about old times before things went to wrong. And about all the things Quinn had to look forward to.

"So your mom called me last night" Alison told her taking a sip of her drink.

Quinn sat silently unsure of what to say. She loved her mother but her mother hadn't been there for her when she needed her the most.

"She sent some money for the new things you might need" Alison continued.

Typical Quinn thought to herself. Her family was good at ignoring problems and buying their way out of things. Well if it would ease her mothers guilt why not spend it. She would never get what she really needed but she wouldn't reject any financial help. It wasn't like it would be fair for Alison to support her and she hadn't got a job yet.

"Well I will need some school supplies" she replied shrugging her shoulders.

"She said you'd need a new car as well " Alison told her.

"I'm guessing my dad doesn't know she sent the credit card and he's funding all this guilt money" Quinn laughed " fine well I guess we should go shopping then."

"A friend of mine on the reservation can do you a great deal on a car" Alison suggested.

"Sounds good to me" Quinn said with a smile.

She might as well start enjoying herself again. Next week she'd be starting back school and she was sure she'd be getting a few texts. She'd need to make the most of the next few drama free days.
