Chapter 1
Setting the Choir room. Everyone is sitting in the choir room about the whole situation involving Sam. People blaming each other about who is to blame for the tension between all of them. Mr. Shu walks in to hear all the bickering and arguing that is going on. He put his fingers to his mouth and let about a loud whistle. Both scaring and shocking them.
Mr. Shu- Alright that is enough what is going on with all of you?
Finn- It's just been a stressful few days Mr. Shu that is all.
Mr. Shu- I know it's been a rough couple of days for us all but we don't have time for this. We have nationals in less than a week and we aren't nearly as prepared as we should be. So we really have to buckle down and get to work.
Rachael- Sorry Mr. Shu you are right. We will start focusing on that.
Mr. Shu looked around to see a couple people were missing. Nobody else noticed three people were missing.
Mr. Shu- We really need to get started but where are Mercedes, Kurt, or Quinn. That is the first time anyone notice people were missing.
Rachael- Now that you mention it I haven't seen any of them for a least a couple of hours. As or Quinn I haven't seen her in a couple days.
Mr. Shu turned to Finn.
Mr. Shu- Finn do you know where Quinn is at all? Finn shook his head feeling guilty that he didn't know where his girlfriend was at the moment.
Finn- unfortunately No I haven't Mr. Shu I haven't talked to her in a couple of days. She has been avoiding me since the whole Rumors thing started.
Mr. Shu- Well we can't wait for them we will have to start without them.
As everyone got their sheet music they looked up to see Mercedes and Kurt walking in the door. Looking like both of them have been crying. Mr. Shu looked at them and they both clearly looked lost and in a daze and he clearly got worried about the whole situation.
Mr. Shu- What happened what's wrong you guys. And where is Quinn? Mercedes who broke down more than ever. Kurt who looked just the same as she did pulled her into an embrace and they held each other. Neither one of them believe their friend/sister was really gone.
Mr. Shu-Guys what is it what's wrong?
Mercedes- She is gone sobbing even more into Kurt's shoulder.
Mr. Shu- Who is gone?
Kurt- Quinn. Was all he said his emotions getting the better of him.
The room fell into complete silence but the name out of Kurt's mouth got Finn's attention.
Finn- Kurt what do you mean Quinn is gone? He swallowed the lump that was in his throat and the sickening feeling he has in the pit of his stomach.
Kurt- She left town.
Brittney- Quinn why would she leave town?
Mercedes- Because she was not happy here.
Brittney- I thought she was happy.
Kurt- She was but she said a lot of things have changed.
Finn-Where did she go?
Mercedes- She wouldn't tell us where she was going. Just that she had to get away.
The room fell quite once again. Finn got up out of his chair and headed for the door but Kurt stopped him.
Finn- I have to find her.
Kurt- It's too late Finn she is gone.
Finn- She can't be.
Kurt- She is gone Finn that is why we were late. Quinn called up from the airport asking us to meet her there. When we got there just in time I might add she told us she was leaving town. Both Mercedes and I tired to talk her out of it but you know how Quinn gets. When she has her mind made up there is nothing you can do to change her mind. That Stubborn, bullheaded, smart, sweet kindhearted girl.
Finn- Where did she go?
Kurt- That I don't know she wouldn't tell us but she did give us a letter that she had written and she wanted us to read it to you all.
Finn sat back down in a chair not believing that Quinn was gone. Mr. Shu sat down next to him. Kurt took out the letter and cleared his throat.
Kurt- (But with Quinn's words.)
Dear Glee club I'm sorry I have to do this to you just before nationals but this is something I have to do. But I want you all to go to nationals and kick butt and I know you will win. You all are that good. A lot has happened in the last 2 years that have changed me some for the better and some for the worst. Mr. Shu I am sorry I let you down. You don't know how much I admire you and look up too. You showed me what it's really like to care about something. You were kind of of like a second dad to me. You stood by me at my lowest point in my life and I will never forget that. And for that words can't express what I am feeling.
Brittney and Santana what can I say you two have been my girls for so long. I know we have had our problems lately but I knew I could always count on the two of you. When times were really tough we have been there for each other. Now I want you two to do be a favor next season get back on the cheerios and show everyone what you are made of and don't take crap from anyone even from coach Slyvester. I know you both have tough exteriors but inside you are all heart don't be afraid to show it to anyone.
Artie what can I say about you just this. You are one strong individual you know that. Everything that you have been threw has made you who you are today and I admire that. You don't let your struggles to get in the way of living your life. I sometime wish I could be more like you. If so maybe I would have had more guts to do this in person. Just know you hold a special place in my heart and I will never forget you.
Mike and Tina All I can say about you two is you are the best two looking Asian I know. If it weren't for glee you two wouldn't have found each other and I'm glad you found each other. You both might be from different kinds of groups in school but you didn't let that stop you. I've seen the way you two look at each other when you think no one is watching you. Let you in on a secret well I do watch you and I love what I see. You both are so in love with each other I see it every time one of you walks into a room when the other walks in. You both light up and you try to hide it from each other and everyone else please don't do that. Love like yours doesn't come around very often so hold onto it.
Lauren I know we got off to a rocky start. I also admire the way you live your life. You don't take crap from anyone. I am sorry I have treated you the way I have and I give you props for what you did to me last week. In different circumstances I think we would have been friends. Just know you got my vote for queen because I find you beautiful inside and out. And one more thing I like about you is you don't take Puck's crap. Not a lot of people can do that but you are good for him even I can see the change in him over these last couple of months. And that is because of you.
Puck we have been threw a lot together. Last year we both made a big mistake and that mistake resulted in our daughter Beth. For the life of me I can't regret that mistake. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about her. It may sometimes seem like I don't it's just if I do think about her it just makes me sad all over again. You and I had to make a difficult choice when we had Beth but I think it was for the best. Neither one of us could take care of her properly the way she need to be and that is why we gave her to Shelby. I know we both get pictures and updates on her and maybe someday we can be apart of her life.
Sam words can't express how bad I feel for the way I treated you. All I can say is that my heart was telling me I had to give into my feelings. And the heart wants what it wants you know. And my heart was leading me to another person who held my heart. I'm sorry isn't good enough and you were right to break things off with me. You are a wonderful guy and some girl and going to be incredibly lucky to have you. I know I was when I was with you. Things are going to get better for you and your family. I put in a call to my dad and don't worry he owes me and I asked him to give your dad at least an attempt at a job. Tell Stevie and Stacy I said goodbye and that I will miss them they are both great kids. And are incredibly lucky to have you as a big brother.
Onto Mercedes and Kurt I know you both must not like me that much right now.
Kurt quit reading to say this.
Kurt- That is an understatement for the century Quinny. He then went back to reading the letter
And don't call me Quinny Kurt you know I hate that name and I don't know why you insist on calling me that. But to get on with you. You both don't realize how much you two have come to mean to me. Mercedes I know you sometimes feel like you are under appreciated in Glee but you are not. You have a voice I wish I had sometimes. Every time you hit one of those incredible high notes I get shivers up my spine. You were also there for me last year when I was at my worst. I can't express how grateful I was to you are your family for letting me stay with you. You helped me bring my daughter into this world when I didn't think I would be about to do it. But you told me I could do it and I did it. You are more than just a friend to me you are like a sister. I know I can come to you about anything just not this right now. Now I want you to go and kick butt next week I know you will do me proud.
Onto Kurt I know we also haven't been all that close but lately we have gotten close. And now I can't imagine my life without you in it. You are a good person Kurt so you are different who cares. We all are different in our own ways. I've never seen you happier since Blaine came into your life. My advice hold onto him he is one of the good ones. There aren't a whole lot of them in this world I should know from experience. You either Kurt aren't just a friend to me you are the brother I never had and lucky to have. I know why Finn is lucky to have you as a brother. You are someone who anyone can count on. Now I just need you to do one more thing for me.
Kurt- And what it that Quinny. Stop calling me Quinny Kurt I know you are doing it. Which got a chuckle out of everyone. I need you a look after Finn for me. I know he must be angry with me and I can live with that. But I need to know someone I can trust is looking out for him. Just make sure he is taking care of himself cause if I know him as well as I do. He isn't going to let you or anyone else in so don't let him push you away. Kurt one more thing I love you and please take care of yourself. I will write I promise you that.
Kurt's emotions were getting the better of him once again and broke down.
Kurt- I can't read this anymore. Giving the note to Mercedes who took over for Kurt.
Mercedes cleared her throat.
And onto Rachael. And yes I know some of you are going to be surprised I even mentioned her. Rachael I know I should hate you and a large part of me does. What it is that you have that I don't. Sure I am pretty and athletic but that only goes so deep. You have talent I can tell you that much. You are going to go on and go better things you have that drive in you. And another thing you won I can't compete with you. Sure I have tried but it just doesn't seem to work.I have no more fight left in me. So I am bowing out now he is all yours. I don't want to stand in the way of his happiness. So if that it what he wants so be it, I just want him to be happy even if it's not with me.
Rachael was shocked at what Quinn had to say to her. She looked over at Finn who was on the other side of the room completely out of it. Finn could feel someone staring at him and turned to look at Rachael. Rachael could see now the emotions on his face he was completely torn apart. Mercedes cleared her throat that got both Finn and Rachael's attention. They both turned back to Mercedes.
Mercedes- And last but certainly not least Finn. Finn I'm sorry you are having to hear this I am sorry for a lot of things. I know I messed up big time last year with the whole pregnancy thing. But at the time I was scared and I didn't know what to do. I did know one thing and that was you were a better father material than Puck was at the time and you were. You stepped up and you tried to do everything you could for me and Beth. I'm sorry I even let you go threw all of that. And when you found out about the baby you were right to be angry and cut me out of your life. I don't deserve you Finn I never have. You are to good for me. You are what most girls dream of the whole entire package. I still sometimes wonder why you gave me a second chance after what I had done to you the first time. I do know for me it was because you are my first love and I felt that spark that I felt the first time with you. Finn you will always be my first and only love. I tried to move on after you but it just didn't work. And now you are probably wondering why I would leave after saying all of this. It's because of recent events that I know Finn you don't love me. Recent events I have seen have shown me that. I've seen the way you look at Rachael when you think I don't see it. You are probably trying to rack your brain trying to figure out who I know this and I will tell you. The first was the night we won regionals I was backstage and I saw you with this look on your face while you were watching her sing her song. You were so memorized by it that you didn't even know I was standing right behind you watching. And the other time was two week ago during the whole night of neglect show. After we talk to Rachael about Mercedes the way you look at her after she walked away. It broke my heart even a little more. You have never looked at me before like that. But I can't blame you for how I feel about that. But the last incident that really opened my eyes of why you really don't love me. Is when we were singing our duet together you didn't think I didn't see it but I did. But the look you gave to Rachael said it all to me. So even though this is hard to do I have to let you go. Your heart belongs to another and I'm not going to stand in the way of that anymore I'm surprised I did for this long. But I wanted to believe you had feelings for me and clearly you don't. So go on with your life be happy and just know I do love you Finn Christopher Hudson I know I didn't always say it or show it but I did. I was just protecting myself from what I knew was coming eventually. Like I told Rachael I have no more fight left in me. So be happy with her but I can't stay and watch you fall back in love with her it would hurt to much. Now I must go every one I don't know if I will be coming back I'm not sure yet. Just know I love each and every one of you and you will be with me always. Signed Lucy Quinn Fabrey.
After the last word was read there wasn't a dry eye left in the room. All were very touched by Quinn's words and deeply touched. Only a couple people knew how real she actually was. As for Finn he didn't know what to say, think, or feel. He was trying to rack his brain to try a figure out how this all came about and it finally started to add up. When it finally dawned on him that Quinn was right about one thing and that was he hasn't told her that he loved her since getting back together and is remembering those incidents that Quinn is talking about. He knew one thing was for sure that he did love her and he was going to get her back. He stood up with determination in his eyes. He was going to find her and bring her back. Even if it was the last thing he did. Everyone's attention turned to Finn.
Mr. Shu- Finn where are you going?
Finn- To get my girlfriend back that is what I am going to do. She may seem to think I don't love her but I do. So I am going to get her.
Kurt- Finn I would advise against that right now. Quinn needs some time to process everything that has happened and you've got to let her. She loves you man.
Finn- And I love her she needs to know that.
Kurt- It's too late for that right now Finn but if fate intervene again she will be back.
Finn- For how long am I sappose to wait?
Kurt- As long as she needs it to be. With that Finn felt defeated and just left the room without saying a word to anyone.
End of Chapter 1
Next Chapter I will take place almost a year after Quinn has left. Won't give too much away. I will tell you this a lot has changed for all of them.
A/N Thanks for reading and reviews would be wonder. Please tell me what you think. And hopefully I could have another Chapter out before the weekend is over.
Thanks,
Kari
