I hope that I write this well enough. I know that lately, nothing of mine has been up to scratch. Please, if you do any feedback at all, improvements, ideas, or just a quick correction, I will be grateful for it. Thank you! ~charley xoxo.

Just a few things; This will all be from Quinn's perspective. I might drop in a few of Puck's P.O.V's every now and again, but its easier for me to just keep it as Quinn's. Also, Just so you all know, its been a year since they left WMHS.

I opened my eyes after a restless night. My mind had buzzing for hours on end, and I just wanted it stop. I slowly got up from my bed and wandered over to the window, the same things from the hours before repeating through my head. How was Puck? How was Beth? Where had Shelby taken my daughter? How did things end up like this? Why couldn't I just sleep? So many questions had run through my head, none of them I was even capable of answering. I looked at the sky from my small bedroom window. The sun was no where in sight and dark clouds covered the sky; as did they in my mind. I knew today was going to be one of those days where nothing goes right. The days where you want to hide in your bed under the sheets, crying and letting the bad feelings smother your whole body until you feel better. I'd had that day yesterday though, and the day before, perhaps even the day before that. I'd hidden under my sheets for so long that I didn't know how long I'd been there, but I knew that today was the day I needed to get up and become the normal Quinn, the old one that didn't have a care in the world. The one that would wake up with a smile on her face and want to learn new things each day. The one that had been hidden away for such a long time that I didn't know how to be any more.

There was a gentle knock on the door, as my Mother entered. "Time to get u- oh. Quinnie, you're out of bed."
I twisted my head and saw my mother stood in the doorway, a small smile on her perfectly made up face. Her blonde hair was swept up onto the top of her head and pinned precisely in place.
"Yes.." I nodded and shuffled towards the closet.
"Oh, sorry. I'm just a bit baffled to see to up already. Will you be going to college today?" She asked me, stepping further into the room and gently placing her hands on the dresser.
I thought about it for a moment. "I'm sure my bed wouldn't want me any longer."
My mother's smile stretched a little, and her eyes seemed to light up. "Okay, well, I am making waffles this morning; would you like some?"
I shook my head and opened the closet. "No thank you."
"Oh, okay." I heard my Mom's footsteps as she left the room. "Don't be too long Quinnie, you don't want to be late." She then shut the door.
I let out a little sigh, just thinking of the day ahead.
"Well Quinn, you have to face the world again one day.." I mumble to myself and looked through my closet, pulling out a dress. "Today might as well be the day."

Sorry it is so short. I was in a rush and I promise the next chapter will be much longer! Muah!xoxo.
