Mad as Hell

Quinn sauntered down the hall, her pink hair attracting some stares. She caught the eye of Finn who looked disappointed, then Santana who looked bitchy as ever but with a pleading look in her eyes as she linked pinkies with a sad looking Brittany.

All of glee club was there in the hallway, the purple piano stood innocently enough beside a row of lockers. Quinn was suddenly over taken with an urge to sing.

Huh, I guess there is some glee club left in me. She cast a look at her audience and popped herself up on top of the piano, sliding an i-pod and dock out of her grey bag.

She selected her song with purpose as if she had actually planned any of this.

"Forgive, sounds good

Forget, I'm not sure I could"

She sang, putting her heart into the song

"They say time heals everything

But I'm still waiting"

She saw the skanks from the corner of her eyes, they didn't look happy but she was behind caring.

"I'm through with doubt

There's nothing left for me to figure out

I've paid a price

And I'll keep paying"

She launched into the chorus with closed eyes and an open heart for the first time in months

"I'm not ready to make nice

I'm not ready to back down

I'm still mad as hell

And I don't have time to go round and round and round"

Quinn opened her eyes and spread her arms wide slightly hysterically

"It's too late to make it right

I probably wouldn't if I could

Cause I'm mad as hell

I can't bring myself

To do what it is you think I should!"

She glared at Rachel and Santana and Brittany

"I made my bed

And I sleep like a baby

With no regrets

And I don't mind saying"

Quinn turned to Sue who was also in the hallway looking furious

"It's a sad, sad story

When a mother will teach her daughter

That she ought to hate a perfect stranger

And how in the world that I said

Send somebody so over the edge

That they'd write me a letter

Sayin' that I'd better

Shut up and sing or my life will be over?"

For the instrumental solo the pinkette hopped of the piano and belted with all her emotions

"I'm not ready to make nice

I'm not ready to back down

I'm still mad as hell and I don't have time

to go round and round and round

It's too late to make it right

I probably wouldn't if I could

Cause I'm mad as hell

I can't bring myself

To do what it is you think I should!"

Quinn was startled when Santana started singing back up

"I'm not ready to make nice!"

"I'm not ready to make nice

I'm not ready to back down

I'm still mad as hell and I don't have time

to go round and round and round

It's too late to make it right"

"Too late!"

"I probably wouldn't if I could

Cause I'm mad as hell

I can't bring myself

To do what it is you think I should!

What it is you think I should"

There was a certain irony to her voice

"Forgive, sounds good

Forget, I'm not sure I could

They say time heals everything

But I'm still waiting"

The song ended and Quinn packed away her stuff

"Quinn" Santana started

"I'm not coming back to glee club" the skank said with finality and strut away leaving even Rachel speechless.

"I think we've really lost her" Artie broke the silence sombrely

Santana narrowed her eyes "Not if I can help it" she spoke with determination "No one breaks up the unholy trinity"
