Okay. So im new at this and this is my first time, trying to write a Faberry story. English isn't my first language, so sorry if there's mistakes and all that. Feel free to give me some feedback on this story and tell me if it works :D
The unexpected!
He took my hand as we walked towards my parents' house. He looked so happy and so did I. It was a hot summer day and I wore a thin yellow summer dress. I could feel the hot sun on my skin, but it weren't unpleasant. Finn and I have been together since high school, so yeah, we're the typically high school sweetheart couple, but I wouldn't change a thing and Finn is the sweetest man on earth, or at least he is to me.
"What are you looking at babe?" Finn asked and looked at me with his sweet eyes and I noticed that I had been staring at him for a while. "Oh, I just admired my man" I said and smiled at him. "Well, I won't complain the" he said and took my hand once again, "Come babe, your parents is waiting."
We walked into the garden, where all my family was. "Quinn! Finn! Finally! We almost thought you wouldn't come" my mother said and came towards us with her arms open. "And miss a chance to be with my amazing mother-in-law? Why wouldn't we come?" Finn said, while hugging my mother. "Oh, you're so sweet" she said while hugging me. "I'll go over to your father" Finn said and gave me kiss on the cheek. He walked to rest of the men, who were standing around the grill. "He's such a good catch dear" my mother said and smiled. "Yeah, he definitely is mom". We walked over to my sister Frannie, who stood with her 6-year-old daughter and talking to our cousin, "Hey Quinn" Frannie said and gave me a hug. "Hey Fran, how you've been?",I asked, "Oh, you know. Fine as usual. Work is hard, but other than that I am just great," she said and gave me a little smile. "That's good", I said and looked towards Emma, her daughter. I bumped on the ground right in front of her. "And how you've been sweetie pie? I missed you. You know, you forgot to call me yesterday" I said and took her in for a hug. "I know Aunt Quinn, but momma said I could wait to today, to talk to you" she said and pouted at her mother. Frannie gave a suppressed smile and continued her talk with our cousin. "Oh, momma is just weird then. She knows I need a call from you hun, but anyway how's school? Any progress with little Johnny?" I said and winked at her. "Schhhh! don't tell!" She blushed and gave me a cute smile. "Right it's a secret" I stood up and straightened my dress. "So, how is work?" Mom asked, "Its fine. Teaching teenagers can be a challenge but some of them are actually interested in learning. Also you can't blame them" I said and sighed. "History isn't that funny all the time and PE can be rough, especially with me as their trainer" I laughed. "I really don't understand why you chose to teach. It's time demanding and you hear so many bad things these days", "Yes mom, I know, but I really love it. Educating these kids is my passion and I do really believe I can teach them something or two about the world's history and how it all works", "Honey, you're only 24. There's only so much you can teach them." I frowned at her "Seriously? Are we going to have this conversation today? At this time? I thought it was a barbeque, not a "you're-too-young-to-teach-speech" from you", "You're right dear, I'm sorry. Now let's just have fun" She walked into the kitchen and came back with some paper plates and napkins. Finn came over to me and gave me a tight hug. "Is everything alright?" He asked. I sighed, "Yes, everything is fine."
We all sat together at the table, and people started eating. There were laughter and people were having fun. I let the conversation with my mother slip away from my mind, and let myself having fun with the others. Stories about the good old days were told and the day went by. "Are you ready to leave? It's 2am" I asked Finn, "But babe, I just want to have one more beer", "You already got too many and it's late" "One more?" Finn blinked continuous times with his brown eyes. I sighed, "Alright one more then, but then we're going" I grabbed him a beer and walked into the house, were my mom sat with her friend Marge. "Hey honey, what are you doing?" Mom asked and gestured me to sit next to her. "Nothing. Finn wanted another beer and I really want to go home" "Already?" Marge asked. I yawned, "Yes, it's late and I'm really tired" "You can just take the guestroom. Frannie and Emma went home instead, so it's free if you want to sleep now" Mom said. "No thanks mom, but I think we're just going home instead. Besides, I have some school things to do tomorrow" "That's a shame. But it's your choice" "I'll check on Finn" I stood up and went outside. Finn was talking to my dad about soccer. Sometimes I don't understand why men always would talk about soccer or sport at all. It always ends in some sort of misunderstanding or pure rivalry. "But you should know that, Manchester United has Wayne Rooney, he's a damn legend!" Finn said. My dad laughed and pointed at him, "You should know better kid. Newcastle is the best team in Premier League and nothing can change that" Finn was about to say something, but I interrupted him, "Are you coming? I'll drive home without you" "Just on.." "No!" I took his hand and dragged him up. "Thank you for at great day dad. See you" I kissed dad on the cheek and dragged Finn inside to my mom. "Thank you for today mom. It was lovely to be here and see you all again" I hugged her and she kissed me on the cheek. "It definitely was dear. I hope to see you soon" I waved as we walked outside to our car and placed Finn on the front seat. I started the car and drove home. Finn was fast asleep. I looked over at him. When would he ask me? We have been together for a long time now and in my mind, it's time for him to ask me. Far away in my thoughts I almost drove somebody down. I made a quick turn and stopped the car to check on the person. "You almost drove me over!" The woman yelled, "I couldn't see you, it's pretty dark out here and you shouldn't be walking out in the streets!" "Well, you should have paid more attention to the road. I had to have somewhere to walk. I could fall and break something if I walked in the gutter" "Yes, but it could prevent you from getting killed" I said. I couldn't get a good look at her, but she looked young and had dark hair. "Ah, yes I know" "Where are you going by the way?" "I'm going to find a mechanic or someone who can fix my car. My phone is dead and I thought walking was a great idea, but it seems like it wasn't" "You can borrow my phone or I could give you a lift to the nearest gas station?" "A lift would be great. I don't think I would be able to explain where my car is. I've never been here before", she laughed. We walked over to my car and she jumped in the backseat. "My boyfriend is sleeping. He had a little too much to drink" "Yes, it happens sometimes", she said and smiled. We didn't talked all the way to Lima, and finally I found a gas station. "Thanks for the ride. I hope I can find the car again." "The sun is almost rising, so I think you should be able to find it."She shrugged, "Well, thanks again" "Your welcome and goodbye" I waved as I drove be her. Finally we are home and I'm struggling with Finn. Great idea, to get so drunk that you can't get into your own bed. I got him into bed and got myself into some other clothes and into bed. It's been a long day.
The sun was high on the sky and had irritating enough found a hole in the curtains to shine right into my face. I stood up and walked into the bathroom with a half eye open. I didn't even dare to stare at my face in the mirror, knowing it had its own life. I walked back into the bedroom, where Finn still was asleep and drooling on the pillow. I putted some pants on and walked downstairs to the kitchen to make some coffee and heard someone pull up in the driveway. As far as I remember we didn't had any plans this Sunday, but either way, someone was coming. Soon enough the doorbell rang and I walked to the door. "BABE! Is Finn ready? Puck asked and looked past me into the living room. I frowned "No, he's asleep. I didn't know he had plans for today" "Oh, he didn't tell you? We're supposed to go fishing. "Well, apparently not" I laughed and let Puck in. "I'll go wake him up" I walked upstairs and throws myself onto Finn. "Wakie wakie! Puck is here. You're going fishing" "But I don't want to. I just want to sleep" He said and tried to whip me off. "Get up. Puck is standing downstairs and waiting on you. You didn't tell me you were going out today" Finn stood up and walked to the bathroom, "I know honey, but I forgot it" He yelled and I could hear him start the shower. I walked downstairs to Puck and got into the kitchen, were he sat with a beer. "Is he up?" He asked and laughed, "Yes, he's in the shower, so he'll be done soon" Finn came down after 10 minutes, "Okay buddy, I'm ready to go" Finn kissed me as he walked by to get his jacket. Puck walked right behind him and they left. The day went by as I got some things ready for the new school year. When the night came, I went to bed early. Finn weren't home yet, but I supposed that he would be home soon. An hour later he came snooping into bed and gave me a kiss on my forehead. "Was it a good trip? "I asked, "Yes it was fine" He held me tight and I fell asleep again.
The alarm clock rang too early in my opinion, but it was time to put myself through another year of hell. Finn was already up and I could smell the freshly made coffee from downstairs. "Honey, are you awake?" He yelled, "Barely, but I am coming down in a minute" I stood up and took my clothes on. A brown jacket, white shirt and black pants. I went to the bathroom, putted on my make-up, and fixed my hair into a ponytail. Yes, it may seem overdoing it, but I prefer to look nice and clean every day and set a good example for the students. I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. "Have a good day honey", Finn said and kissed me. He ran out of the door and I could hear the car pulling out the driveway. I took some coffee, walked out, and jumped into the car. I pulled into the parking lot 15 minutes later, singing to the music coming through the radio.
I pulled into the parking lot of McKinley High. I got out of the car and grabbed my bag that was lying on the passenger seat. Suddenly a car came racing into the parking spot next to mine and I nearly trembled into my car. Breathless, I got up and turned to the other car. "What the hell are you doing? Couldn't you see I was standing here?" I yelled quite furiously. The woman, driving the other car, looked at me with a confused tone in her eyes and said "I am so sorry, I didnt even see you before I had already pulled into the spot." "Maybe if you had eyes!" I said and huffed. I looked back at her and something about her seemed familiar, but I could not place it.
I headed to the teachers office, and nearly walked into Brittany. "Good morning sunshine!" She almost yelled in my face, "Good morning Britt. Did you have a good weekend?" I asked, "It was great! Santana took me camping and I saw Bambi! I tried to ask him were Thumper was, but every time I got close, it ran away again" Brittany pouted. I smiled and gave her a hug "Sorry about that Britt". Brittany smiled and walked over to the coffee machine. "Make me a cup, won't you? I need it. A car on the parking lot almost hit me" "What? How could that happen" Brittany asked shocked. "I dont know. A tiny brunette, who apparently could not see me, even though my car door were wide open" I said, Brittany handed me the coffee and looked at me with her eyes widened. – A tiny brunette you said. Hmm, Hey! Maybe it was an elf! What did her ears look like? But what would an elf be doing here? It's not December yet!" I rolled my eyes and took a sip of my coffee, knowing not to discuss her strange thoughts. Brittany looked thought full about whom or what it could be, when Friggins came into the room followed by the said tiny brunette woman. "Can I have everybody's attention? This is Rachel Berry. She will be the one to teach the kids in music until Schuester comes back. Besides that, she will be joining Quinn in PE and Chris in math. Make her feel welcome", Friggins said and left the room. "Hey Rachel! I'm Brittany or Britt. You decide" Brittany said as she gave a surprise hug to Rachel. Rachel looked surprised and smiled to her, "Ehm, thanks Brittany" Rachel patted her on the back and squirmed out of the hug and walked around to rest of the teachers and gave them a short introduction. I pulled Britt to the side, "That is her! The woman with the car!" I whispered. "Oh! Well should I be mean to her or?" Before I could answer, Rachel came over, "Hello, I'm Rachel. It is nice to meet you under normal circumstances and not you yelling at me." She said with a smirk on her face. "Quinn" I gave a short smile and walked away. Not even considering giving her a handshake. Maybe it was rude, but I was certainly not in the mood for it. "Quinn! That was rude! So sorry about that. Normally she isn't so, yeah like that." Brittany apologized. "It's alright" Rachel laughed and walked past her. I shivered at her laugh. I looked at her and something about her seemed familiar, but I couldn't place it. I took my bag and walked to class, thinking about where I could have seen her before.
"But Miss Fabray, I just don't get it. Why should we write about these things? We'll probably don't need them when we're done here." Lucas said for the fifth time this day and I was getting frustrated about it. "Lucas! For the fifth time." The bell rang and I exclaimed a relieved sigh. They all packed their bags and were on their way out of the door. "Lucas, stay here." I said, "Uuuh! Someone's in trouble" Lucas' friends said as they walked out. "What is it Miss Fabray?" Lucas said as he putted his bag back on the table. I looked at him with a certain look. "I don't tolerate you asking about everything we do in these classes. You don't get to ask me every time, you get an assignment, why you should do it. You just do it!" Lucas eye rolled at me and sighed. "I just don't get the meaning by all this! Why the hell should I learn about some asshat, who lived for what, 300 years ago?" he looked at me with his arm folded. "Don't talk like that! I hoped I didn't needed to do this, but I will contact you parents. I won't accept this behavior from you" I wrote a note and gave it to him, "What? No! Please Miss Fabray, I'll write it, okay? Just don't contact my parents" He begged and looked scared. "No Lucas. See you in PE" I took my bag and walked out the classroom and straight to the teacher's room. I sat down with a cup of coffee and closed my eyes for a bit. "Is it always that tiring? God, it's only 11am and I'm smashed" A voice said next to me. I opened my eyes and saw Rachel. I didn't said anything. We sat in complete silence for a couple of minutes. "You know, I'm sorry for almost hitting you on the parking lot. However, I did not really see you and it certainly was not on purpose. Can't we look past this incident and be good colleagues?" She smiled and took her hand towards me, "I'm Rachel Berry. It's great to meet you." I looked at her and for a minute, I wanted to be childish and walk away, but instead I took her hand, "Quinn Fabray. Nice to meet you too" I smiled widely. "Oh, so you're the one I have PE with. That's great!" she laughed, "Well, that's me, but just to warn you, PE isn't that great. A bunch of teenagers, who will not do anything that, is too hard." I laughed. "Then I'll be there to help you motivating those lazy bastards", "That would be great" I smiled and looked into her big brown eyes. Suddenly I remembered that we were still holding hands. "Sorry" I smiled nervously and she laughed. When I let go of her hands, I noticed how soft her hands were and a sudden tingling appeared in my stomach. I stood up quickly, "Uhm. I have to go. See you in PE?" I said. Rachel smiled, "Sure" I walked to the bathroom and hoped none other would be there. I refreshed myself and smirked at the mirror. Relax, it was nothing, I thought for myself and straightens my clothes before I walked out. Rest of the day flew by until it was time to PE.
"Alright! Take a seat and listen." I yelled. The kids sat down and looked between Rachel and me. "This is uhm" I stuttered, "Miss" Rachel whispered, "Miss Berry. Could you give a short introduction of yourself?" I said and smiled. She smiled nervously, "Sure thing. I'm Rachel Berry and I will be following Miss Fabray in these classes. Some of you would probably going to know me better, as I also will be teaching in math and music." The kids were just looking at her, not saying a word and then went to look at me. "Okay. Super. We'll play some dodgeball today." There were a cheering crowd and jumping around. "I'm gonna take you doooown." Someone yelled and laughed. "Okay. You 6 go to the right, while the rest goes to the left. Pick your captain and be ready" I yelled and motioned to Rachel to come with me. "Take these and lay them on the line," I pointed to the box with dodgeballs. She took it and walked out. I took some cones and putted them on the right place. "Right. Ready. Set. GO!" I yelled and they came running towards the balls, beginning to throw them at each other. An hour or so went by and the game was over. "Okay. Hit the showers. See you all tomorrow." I said and began to clean up the room. Rachel followed and then we were alone. "Well, that wasn't so bad" Rachel said and broke silence. I smiled and turned to look at her, "Yeah, it was okay. I think it's only because it was dodgeball. Apparently kids still loves it." I said and she smiled and put the last ball into the box. We walked into the locker rooms and I found my bag, starting to change I felt a hand on my shoulder, "Well, thanks for today. See you tomorrow?" I turned around to face Rachel with a smile, "Sure" I said, "Great, I got to go" she were already on her way out, "Have a great day" She smiled and turned away from me. "You too" I said and continued to change my clothes. I could still fell the burn from where her hand had laid and something in me yarned to feel more of her touch. I could feel myself blush from the silliness; I shook my head, took my bag and walked out to my car. I putted the car in gear and drove home in silence. Well almost, silence. The thoughts were going on and on in my head. Quinn, relax! It was just a friendly touch, like the ones you get from your friends. Yeah, but she isn't my friend, she is just a colleague, who I barely know. However, she looks so familiar. Where can I possibly have seen her before? Before I knew it, I was home, sitting in the driveway with the car turned off. "Gah! Get out of my mind!" I slammed my hands onto the steering wheel and I heard a soft knock on the window, "Are you okay honey? Finn asked with a worried frown. I jumped out of the car in surprise, "Yes, just been a wierd day I think." I forced a light smile. Finn frowned but shook his head, "Okay honey, coming?" His head pointed to the house; "Of course" I said and took my bag from car, gave him a kiss and followed him into the house.
We sat at the table in silence as we ate the food. I was in my own world, when Finn broke the silence. "Are you going to talk about it honey?" , "Talk about what?" I shrugged and looked at my plate, "Your day." I forced a smile and looked directly at him. "Oh, I thought about Lucas. He has been on my nerves today and that reminds me that I need to call his parents." Finn snored "He is a little brat. What did he do this time?", "He talked back for the last time. That's what he did." I said and took my now finished plate to the sink. Finn stood behind me and laid his hand on my shoulder. "That's great honey. He deserves it." He kissed me on the cheek, "I'll be in the office, and I have some cases that needs to be fixed. I love you." He murmured, "I love you too" I said and gave him a smile. I found the number to Lucas' house and called them. "The Smiths" a tiny woman voice answered. "Good evening, Mrs. Smith. This is Quinn Fabray, Lucas' teacher in History. I am calling about Lucas and...", "What did he do this time Miss Fabray? The woman sighed. "He won't do his homework and he keep interrupting the class. He talks back and doesn't show any respect." I said. Again, the woman sighed, "I'll talk to him. Anything else?", "I find a talk hardly enough this time, but that's not me too judge. However, if he do his homework and stop interrupting class, I will let it pass. If not." I sighed; I hated being the bas teacher. "He is going to fail and are forced to join summer school.", "I promise you. This time he is going to behave better. Goodnight Miss Fabray." Mrs. Smith said. Before I could say anything else, she hang up on me. I walked upstairs and prepared myself to go to bed. I had just fallen asleep when I felt Finn snuggling up against me, "Are you asleep?" he asked as he kissed my neck, "Not anymore" I murmured.
