Hey, Jeff! It's Quinn. -Q

Oh! Hi, Quinn! :D

You wanted me to text you? -Q

Well, I wanted to know if you wanted to meet me at the Lima Bean for coffee?

Of course! When? -Q

Today at four?

See ya then. -Q

"Jeff! Have you taken it?" Nick asked his friend as he sat on his bed.

"Yes, Mommy," Jeff replied teasingly.

"Whatever." Nick could tell he had taken it before classes because he wasn't as jumpy.

Jeff still played with his pen but he wasn't bouncing his leg constantly and he didn't look like he was having a anxiety attack. Nick and Jeff had been best friends for so long that Nick could tell when he was having a panic attack; no one else could, not even Jeff's mom. Jeff's mom didn't really care about Jeff though. Nick could also calm him down to the point where he wouldn't look so scared. A common trigger for his panic is his family. Whenever someone mentions his family, all the Prozac in the world can't calm him down but Nick can. Jeff would also become jumpy around people he didn't know; Jeff was overly accepting and had been hurt a lot making him more prone to attacks around people he didn't know. Jeff had an emergency inhaler because his asthma often flared up during severe anxiety attacks and he wouldn't be able to catch his breath. Nick cared for Jeff so much and was glad to know they had gotten into the same college; New York University. They got into the Tisch School of Liberal Arts, specifically.

"Going out with Quinn?" Nick asked smiling at his friend while he finished his homework.

"Yes!" Jeff beamed.

"I told you!" Nick teased.

"I have to leave," Jeff told Nick putting his finished homework away in his binder.

"You'll hit it off, Jeff," Nick grinned.

"I hope so." Jeff pulled his shoes back on before grabbing his car keys.

"See ya, Jeff!" Nick called as Jeff's roommate entered signaling that it was time for Nick to leave while mumbling, "That's my cue!"

"See ya," Jeff replied going out to his car.

He climbed in his car and started it as his phone vibrated with a text. The screen read; New Txt Message: Nick Duval Loves Jeffy! Jeff shook his head when he saw that Nick had edited his contact before reading the text;

You'll be awesome, Jeffy! -Nick

Jeff grinned and started his car. The drive to the Lima Bean went by quickly and when he got there he saw Sebastian exiting the shop looking upset. He wanted to comfort him but he had hurt one of Jeff's best friends. Jeff walked past him and saw Quinn sitting by the window. He smiled and quickly ordered his caramel machiatto. He paid and grabbed his drink before sitting in front of Quinn.

"Hey!" Quinn exclaimed smiling.

"Hi! How are you?" Jeff asked sipping his drink.

"I'm pretty good. You?"

"I'm with a pretty girl."

Quinn blushed, "Thanks."

"You're very welcome! So, tell me about your life at McKinley!"

"I'm a senior, I'm in the glee club, and I got accepted to Yale! What about your life at Dalton?"

"I'm a senior."

"Expand?"

"I room with Adam. I'm going to college with my best friend!"

"What college?"

"New York University!"

"Fun!"

"So, Yale?"

"Yes! New Haven is going to be wonderful."

"How do you know?"

"Life is what you make it."

"Good answer, Miss Quinn."

"Why thank you, Mr. Jeff."

Jeff chuckled as Quinn sipped her coffee. They sat in silence for a few minutes, "I have to go, Jeff! I'm really sorry!"

"It's fine!" Jeff replied smiling.

"Can we hang out this weekend?" Quinn asked returning the smile.

"Yeah! Ice skating at ten on Saturday? Text me your address and I'll pick you up?"

"It's a date!"

Jeff grinned wider and walked her out to her car. They hugged quickly before parting ways.


"How'd it go?" Nick asked as Jeff sat by him in the common room.

"I have a date on Saturday!" Jeff replied making Nick smile.

"I tollllld you!" Nick sang.

"Yeah, yeah," Jeff rolled his eyes.


"How was it?" Kurt asked as Quinn entered Glee the next day.

"We're going on a date Saturday!" Quinn smiled and Kurt thought, She hasn't been this happy in a while.

"Where?" Kurt asked smiling.

"Ice skating," Quinn replied.

"Fun! No skirts though..." Kurt began to rattle off things she should and shouldn't where but Quinn tuned him out and thought about Jeff.


Jeff laid on his bed and tried to sleep but he couldn't sleep. He stared at the ceiling thinking about his date tomorrow. He was going to 'wow' Quinn. She was going to fall for him tomorrow and that would be their first date. He had decided, provided he remembered to take his medication. He quickly texted Nick,

Hey, Three! Remind me to take my meds tomorrow? -Jeff

Of course, Six! -Nick

Thank you! -Jeff

Yupp. -Nick

Jeff fell asleep with his phone on the bed next to him.


Quinn was so nervous she couldn't sleep. She didn't get nervous about dates; she was Quinn Fabray! Maybe she actually really liked Jeff. She pulled the blankets close to her chin and fell asleep quickly. Tomorrow was a big day.
