I quickly mixed the songs together so you could hear what was in my head, it's not a great edit but I didn't have the time to put it together properly. Put /tiana-m-j-campbell/too-little-too-late ,at the end the soundcloud page.
Finn sat beside me as glee started, asking why Quinn was scary Quinn again, I gave him my best impression of her face until he went and sat by Sam. Everyone else knew what had happened between us over the weekend and were keeping their distance from me. Santana and Brittany clutched to Quinn's sides at the back of the room.
"Mr. Schue, If you don't mind I have something I'd like to perform." Quinn's voice was sure and confident as she glanced at me to see my reaction. Obviously a song for me. Wonderful.
Mr. Schue's face lite up; probably because Quinn hadn't performed by herself for over a year. But then again, he always has that stupid smile on his face, it reminded me a lot of Finn's dopey face.
"Su-" I interrupt him before he can finish.
"I also have something I'd like to share with the group." I did actually have a song planned, I wasn't just trying to annoy her but I'm not going to miss the opportunity.
"Rachel, you'll have to wait until after Quinn." He'd obviously picked up on the tension surrounding the group as he kept glancing between me and her suspiciously.
I see her smirk in the corner of her eye. "Fine."
"Okay... Go ahead Quinn."
She rises from her seat followed by Santana and Brittany, forming their signature triangle, though it looks more like a arrow head to me.
The beat of the song kicks in and I suddenly know what's she's about to sing. I cannot believe this.
I've been waiting all day for ya babe
So won't cha come and sit and talk to me
And tell me how we're gonna be together always
Hope you know that when it's late at night
I hold on to my pillow tight
And think of how you promised me forever
(I never thought that anyone)
Could make me feel this way
(Now that you're here girl all I want)
Is just a chance to say
I stand and she raises her eyebrow. Typical. I step in front of her, putting her off from her synchronised swaying. Luckily, it puts her off singing too and I add my own lyrics into the beat of her's. I see Santana and Brittany shuffling back to their seats but they sing back up when it's needed.
It's just too little too late
a little too wrong
And I can't wait
But you know all the right things to say(You know it's just too little too late)
It's too late (now) and I can't wait for you to be gone
'Cause I know about her (who) and I wonder (why) how I bought all the lies
You say you dream of my face
But you don't like me
You just like the chase
To be real
It doesn't matter anyway (You know it's just too little too late)
We step closer and closer together until I feel her breathe on my face. One side of her lip twitches on the verge of a smirk. Turning away, I lift my hand past my shoulder and beckon her with my fingers as I walk towards the door.
Come with me
Stay the night
You say the words but girl it don't feel right
What do ya expect me to say (You know it's just too little too late)
You take my hand
And you say you've changed
But girl you know you're begging don't fool me
Because to you it's just a game (You know it's just too little too late)
Her eyes are fierce as she points towards the door and manages to make it look like a elegant dance move. I walk back towards her, pulling, what I admit, terrible band boyish moves.
Get Out, (leave) right now,
It's the end of you and me
And I can't wait
But you know all the right things to say (You know it's just too little too late)
You said that you would treat me right but you were just a waste of time (waste of time)
Tell me why you're looking so confused
When I'm the one who didn't know the truth
I was young
And in love
I gave you everything
But it wasn't enough
And now you wanna communicate (You know it's just too little too late)
How could you ever be so cold
To go behind my back and call my friend
Girl you must have gone and bumped your head
Because you left her number on your phone
I wanted you right here with me but I have no choice you've gotta leave
Because my heart is breakin'
With every word I'm sayin'
I gave up everything I had
On something that just wouldn't last
But I refuse to cry
No tears will fall from these
Eyeee-eeee-eeees
Ooooh, ooooh
Get out
It's just too little too late
a little too wrong
And I can't wait
But you know all the right things to say(You know it's just too little too late)
It's too late (now) and I can't wait for you to be gone
'Cause I know about her (who) and I wonder (why) how I bought all the lies
You say you dream of my face
But you don't like me
You just like the chase
To be real
It doesn't matter anyway (You know it's just too little too late)
We stood there, looking into each other's eyes until a slow, awkward clap filled the room. I shouldn't have said what I had. I shouldn't have been angry, it was all my fault.
"I'm done here." She stormed out of the room before I had a chance to apologize.
"Quinn..."
"What?"
"I miss you. "
"I don't care anymore."
"You can't say that."
"I can and I will."
"But..."
"It hurt, Rach. It tore my fucking heart out but I'm over it. You slept with her, Rachel. My fucking friend. You took her number from MY phone and called her and you lied about where you were. You knew how wrong it was but you did it anyway. At least you told me eventually, I'll give you that much. I promised myself that I would never stay with someone who cheated on me again. I'm going to keep that promise."
"Is there nothing I can do to make it up to you?"
"Apart from leaving me alone? I don't think so."
"You can't do this to us. I deserve at least one second chance."
"Look at yourself, you've turned into Finn. You think you're God's gift to humanity. Get over yourself already."
"I..."
"Don't bother following me. I don't want to see you again."
"I'll always love you..."
"I will too but that doesn't change anything."
