Here's a new story I started working on. Let me know if it's any good and if I should keep writing it. Enjoy!
Quinn Fabray had been living in a suburb of Chicago her whole life. Her parents were divorced and she had always lived with her mother, Judy, and her sister, Frannie. Though her mother had just a got a new job offer, and decided instead of moving her daughters with her, she was forcing them to move in with their father, who lived in Georgia, in a small town near the beach. Her mother was just following the same steps as her boyfriend, who Quinn didn't really like. It felt as if her mother was choosing her new boyfriend over her family.
Quinn strolled into her room and started packing up her belongings. She looked through all her pictures, this was the only life she had ever known, and she was saying goodbye to it. Looking out her window, she only had one hope, that she would enjoy her new life. After she finished packing, she walked into her mother's room. Quinn could only think that her mother didn't want her. "Hey mom, I finished packing." Quinn said.
"Oh good. Your flight leaves tomorrow at five in the morning. We will pack all the stuff in the moving truck tonight, and it will probably arrive in a week or so." Judy replied.
"When do you leave mom?" Quinn asked.
"Not for a couple of days, Quinnie."
"Is John already settled there?"
"He is indeed. Quinnie, please don't be mad at me. I'm doing what I think is best for all of us."
"Really? You're doing what you think is best for you. You're following your boyfriend of a year. This doesn't even apply to Frannie because she's going to college in LA, and is just spending a couple of weeks with us. Now I have to live with dad by myself. He walked out on this family, mom. I haven't seen him since I was fourteen. Obviously, he isn't trying to make an effort. I can't believe you're actually doing this to me. And you're evening rubbing it in my face, you know my dream is to move to New York."
"Sweetie, you don't understand. You need a reality check. Ever since your dad left, your whole persona has changed. You used to sweet, kind cheerleader and now look at you. Flunking your classes, stealing, and drinking. Quinn you need to start over."
"Well maybe I'm just acting out, because no one loves me. Did you ever think about that?" Quinn ran out her mother's room and into her room. She slammed the door and started crying to herself. "Why does my life have to suck?" she thought to herself. Then, she crawled into her bed, and fell asleep.
"Beep! Beep! Beep!" Quinn flipped over and turned off her alarm. "Well here's to a new journey." she told herself. She grabbed her suitcases she was taking and walked down the stair. Her mother was waiting at the end of the staircase. Quinn rolled her eyes when she got to the bottom. "Bye mom. I guess I will see you when I come to visit you." she said as she gave her a hug, then she waited for her sister to come downstairs. The taxi was picking them up at 4 a.m. Then she saw Frannie walk down the staircase.
"Bye mommy. I will miss you so much. I can't wait to see you in August, when you come visit me in LA. I love you so much! I'll make sure to take care of this one." Frannie said.
"I can take care of myself. Thank you very much," Quinn responded, "Oh look. Here's the taxi. Bye mom."
"Bye girls. Love you. Be careful." Judy said as she closed the door.
Quinn and Frannie rode in complete silence to O'hare International Airport. When they arrived Frannie paid to taxi driver, the girls got their bags out of the trunk, and headed into the airport. They went to over a security checkpoint.
"Omg this line is never ending." Quinn said, after they had been waiting there for a couple of minutes.
"Quinn relaxed. We've barely been waiting here at all. You're just nervous about moving," Frannie said, then she turned to face Quinn, "Look at me. Everything is going to be just fine. You're going to meet some really nice people and meet new friends. Maybe even find a boyfriend," Frannie responded as she winked.
"Fine. I will take your advice. Why do you have to go to college? I'm going to miss you so much." The two sisters hugged and went through security. Then they boarded their flight to Georgia. During the flight, Frannie fell asleep and Quinn just listened to music on her ipod. She decided to make a list of things she wanted to accomplish when she would move.
1. Meet new friends
2. Reconnect with dad
3. Try out for cheer
4. Get a job
5. Forgive mom
6. Try out for a new club
7. Work hard to get into college
8. Visit mom and Frannie
9. Have a good first day of high school at my new school
10. Get my first boyfriend
After a couple of hours the plane finally landed. Quinn reached over and nudged Frannie so she would wake up. After a couple of tries Frannie finally woke up. When the plane, finally got to the gate, Frannie reached into the overhead bin and grabbed Quinn's suitcase and then her suitcase. Then the girls walked down the aisle. Once they got off the plane, they felt humid weather of Georgia. Quinn followed her sister as they went to follow her dad. After countless turns and walking around forever, they finally saw their dad.
"Dad!" Frannie screamed and she ran to go him.
"Hi princess!" Russel said to his eldest daughter. "Hi Quinn," he said as he turned his attention to his other daughter.
"Hey." Quinn responded. She was always jealous that Frannie was the favorite child. Even with their mother. Frannie was perfect, she was a cheerleader, she got straight A's, and got a scholarship to the University of Southern California. Quinn knew one of her goal was to make her parents proud, so they would look at her and her sister equally.
"So how long does it take to get your house?" Frannie asked.
"Around forty minutes. Enough time for us to check up." Russel said. He went to grab the girls' bags and put them in his car. Everyone piled into the car and they started to talk. "I'm so happy to see you girls. I've been so busy with everything. I'm so sorry that I couldn't make it out to your graduation, Frannie."
"I understand dad. You probably didn't want to be there anyways. It was packed with snobbish parents and long speeches." Frannie responded.
"So when are you heading off to LA?" he asked.
"I'm thinking about July 1st. There's a lot of orientations going on and mixers with other students coming to the university, and I want to attend them." Frannie responded.
"Well I will make sure that we do a lot things before you leave," Russel said as he leaned over and patted her on the knee, "So how are things going, Quinn?" he asked.
"Just fine." Quinn said.
"Quinn is just upset that she had to leave all of her friends, isn't that right Quinn?" Frannie said as she turned her attention to Quinn.
"Yeah." Quinn said.
"Well you will definitely meet some friends here. The kids are very nice." Russel said. "So Frannie, wanna tell me about your senior year?" Russel asked. Frannie and Russel talked the whole way home. After forty five minutes, they finally reached Quinn's new home. Quinn grabbed her suitcase and her father told her what room was going to be hers. She trotted up the stairs and threw her bags down. She looked out and saw pier with restaurants and attractions in the distance. When she reached the bottom of staircase, she saw her sister and father laughing at the kitchen table. "I'm going to take a walk." Quinn said. Quinn opened the door and walked towards the beach. It was so nice to have the ocean breeze go through her hair. She saw a lot of action down by the pier and walked towards it. There was a sand volleyball game going on. Quinn watched from the distance and then she saw a cute little store, and decided to go shop. When she walking towards the store, she got hit by one of the guys playing a volleyball. It was shirtless guy with a mohawk.
"I'm so sorry. I'm Puck. And you?" Puck said as he reached his hand out.
Quinn grabbed his hand as he pulled her up, "I'm Quinn."
"Well Quinn, my advice to you is stay a good distance from a volleyball game in session." Puck said as he laughed.
"Oh really? I actually like to get to hit with volleyballs." Quinn joked.
"Are you here on vacation? Because you don't look familiar at all."
"Actually I'm moving in with my dad."
"So I guess I will see you around new girl. I better be getting back to my game. Bye Quinn."
All Quinn could think about that afternoon was the guy she had just met. He was so sweet and funny. Maybe he would be good first boyfriend she thought to herself. Quinn thought about Puck all her way home. Smiling every time she thought about her future with him.
