To be with You
Quinn's Point of View
While I was finishing my make up in an attempt to cover the tears that fell during the night, I decided that I couldn't be back to being the sad and heartbroken girl who pitied herself. During the summer, I found the strength to pull over myself and to take control over my life. So, despite Finn's strange behavior, I would stick to my original plan of find happiness and love myself.
Hold on little girl, show me what he's done to you … Stand up little girl, a broken heart can't be that bad
As soon as I walked downstairs and took my keys, I heard a car stopped at my entrance. At first, I thought it was my mum who had forgotten a work project, but the elegant mini cooper proved me wrong. A black-haired, handsome guy with piercing blue eyes that made your knees go weak went out of the car and walked towards me. There, I knew I would recognize him wherever I were.
-"Hey Chris, what are you doing here?", I asked while kissing his cheek.
-"Well…I thought that maybe you'd like to talk to someone on the way to school about yesterday", he bluntly said while softly taking my hand.
-"I'd prefer not to talk about Finn…yesterday was the last time I let him messed up with my feelings", I told him sincerely.
-"I'm glad that you'll finally have him out of your life", he smiled.
When it's through, it's through. Fate will twist the both of you…So come on baby come on over, let me be the one to show you.
-"I want to move on, to forget about all this drama. I simply want to be happy with someone who only loves me", I said while looking at the ground.
-"I'm here for you, Q…I'll help you, so when you look back, the sad moments with Hudson will only be non-well shaped memories", he stared into my eyes with such emotion that I shivered.
-"Thank you…for everything; I don't know how to explain it, but I feel that I know you since forever. It seems to me that you are real", I looked down biting my lower lip.
I'm the one who wants to be with you. Deep inside I hope you feel it too. Waited on a line of greens and blue, just to be the next to be with you…
-"I'm real, Q…I only want to be with you…For me, there's no other girl. So when you feel ok, tell me `cause I don't doubt about my feelings", Chris said while caressing my cheek.
-"You are an awesome guy, Chris and I'm very fortunate to have you!", I blushed.
-"So, I'm the luckiest man in the world…not anyone has the opportunity to be waiting for you, Q", he teased me while a smile took place on his face.
"Oh, how funny Mr.! But, wait…you are right! Not anyone is as lucky as you!", I jokingly replied.
-"Well, Miss Fabray… not anyone is as beautiful as you!", he winked at me closing the space between us.
My breath was caught in my throat as I was lost in a wonderful sensational world in which he gently placed his hand on my hip, while caressing my cheek. The words refused to come out of my mouth while I saw that he was leaning into me so slowly as to remember each moment perfectly. I closed my eyes to enjoy the softness of his lips on mine, but I realized that on the last moment, he changed his mind and placed a sweet kiss on my hair.
Build up your confidence, so you can be on top for once. Wake up who cares about little boys that talk too much, I seen it all go down
-"I'll show you how a true gentleman treats his girl", he whispered right in my ear.
-"It's high time we left: otherwise, we'll be late for our first class", I quickly said trying to cover how affected I was by his actions.
-"Well, may I open your door, my lady?", he cockily asked.
-"Oh how sweet of you, young man!", I said and both of us started laughing.
-"Where do we go? To school?", he asked seriously.
-"I don't think you are one of those bad guys who skip classes… so, yes", I said while looking to him through the corner of my eye.
-"Maybe, if there is a good reason for it, I don't mind breaking some rules", he winked.
-"Well, maybe after glee, I could think about a good reason", I flirted forgetting about Finn for a moment.
-"No, I've already thought about that!", he confidently stated.
-"and…what if I say no?", I teased him.
-"You'll not dare say no", he said while taking his eyes of the road to look at me.
-"Why are you so sure?", I asked while looking at the streets.
Your game of love was all rained out. So come on baby, come on over, let me be the one to hold you.
-"Because I know you and I'll let you choose the movie", he affirmed.
-"ok…", I whispered.
-"Ok? Only will you say that?", this time he questioned me.
-"Yeah, I'll go to the movies with you and as you are such a gentleman, we'll see a romantic comedy", I said.
-"If you want that, I don't have any problems", he again smiled but this time his smile was brighter as if he had won a championship.
Why be alone when we can be together baby…You can make my life worthwile
and I can make you start to smile.
Finn's Point of View
I was here, at the parking lot, waiting for Rach as she didn't want to come to school with me. I just didn't understand girls… what was her problem now? Didn't she want us to be a couple again? Just my luck! My love life was a mess, as we fought for the second time in a day, yesterday. Rach had to believe me when I said that I was worried about Quinn as a friend. Quinn…Quinn…that name left a bitter taste in my mouth as we would always be unfinished…I couldn't help but wonder how she was doing with out break up. However, so many things happened between us that I couldn't simply pretended that we never existed, but Santana told me Q needed space to heal so I had to give that to her. But, I was not as strong as I believed `cause I couldn't give that to her… I couldn't handle anymore being apart from her. Every single time I saw her, I felt this need to hug her and told her that everything would be all right.
This time, this place… Misused, Mistakes…Too long, Too late, Who was I to make you wait?
But, how could things be better if we were no longer together? Even though I knew that I loved Rachel when I broke up with Q, I couldn't stop thinking about her soft skin against mine while we slept together after our last movie at my house. I slowly closed my eyes while a song started playing on the radio.
Just one chance…Just one breath…Just in case there's just one left, 'cause you know,
you know, you know
All I could see were her soft hazel eyes looking directly at me filled with sadness and regret. But when I turned around, I heard her infectious laugh and her beautiful smile while she was swaying on a swing…that made me smile immediately. I took several moments to admire her: she was wearing a simply pink dress up to her knees with a fitting cardigan and her hair was down; she was adorably breathtaking. However, when I came closer, I realized that she wasn't alone. There was he; the arrogant hockey player; behind her.
That I love you I have loved you all along and I miss you.
Been far away for far too long, I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go.
Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore…
She was laughing at sweet nothings he whispered and although I tried hard, I couldn't make out what they were talking about. There were no words to describe the tsunami of feelings that hit me hard on my core: sadness, jealousy, regret, emptiness, melancholy…At that moment, I felt more alive than at any other moment in my life as I couldn't control what was going on inside of me. The sole idea of Quinn kissing him at that park made him sick. So when he saw the black-haired boy leaning in to kiss his beauty blonde, he couldn't take his eyes of them…although the pain was unbearable, he that pain meant he was still alive. When there were only a few centimeters left for the kiss, he was abruptly woken up by a hit on his window.
On my knees, I'll ask last chance for one last dance 'cause with you, I'd withstand
all of hell to hold your hand…
-"What the hell, Rachel", I asked taken aback.
-"Sorry, Finn but I thought that you wouldn't want to be late", she replied nonchalantly.
-"Yeah, I was waiting for you", I stated while turning off the radio to get out of the car.
-"I know and I'm sorry for shouting at you yesterday", she offered me a small smile.
-"It's ok, but I'm hurt that you don't trust me",I replied taking both of her hands in mine. For some odd reason, I believed Quinn's soft hands fit better in mine.
-"Finn, I trust you, but I don't trust her!", the brunette practically yelled at me.
-"Rach, Q hasn't talked to me since the break-up", I bitterly said.
-"Yeah, but everyone has taken her side when both of us are in glee", she angrily stated.
-"That's because I left her after a funeral", I tiredly replied.
I'd give it all… I'd give for us. Give anything but I won't give up 'cause you know,
you know, you know…
-"Ok, maybe, if she isn't into you, things could be all right", she weakly smiled.
-"I swear that things are all right between us", I said trying to walk to the main entrance of the school.
-"Why have you changed the subject, Finn?", she angrily asked.
-"I haven't, Rach…can't we stop arguing please?", I asked as I wasn't going to start like that my day.
-"Yeah, you've changed the subject…why don't you want her to be in love with other guy?", she continued her interrogation as I was a prisoner.
-"What are you talking about? Will be again be discussing this?", I said while walking without turning around to see her reaction.
-"Stop avoiding talking about her, Finn… I know you! But maybe, there's no need to talk about you and her, look at that!", she happily winked at me.
I wanted… I wanted you to stay; 'cause I needed…I need to hear you say that I love you.
I have loved you all along, and I forgive you for being away for far too long. So keep breathing 'cause I'm not leaving you anymore.
When I turned round, I saw them: my blond and my enemy…together! I couldn't believe my eyes or I didn't want to as they seemed like another happy couple: he was hugging her; not in a friendly manner, but as lovers; while again she was laughing at something he said. Worst of all, they seemed too cute and their clothes matched! How could it be that they arrived together if Q didn't like to feel dependant on someone. My mind was asking me so many questions, to all of which I didn't have an answer.
-"Finn, what are you thinking about now?", my girlfriend asked while I hoped it was Q who was beside me.
-"Nothing…I thought that…maybe we could go to the cinema today", I tried.
-"Really? I would love that!", she smiled widely.
-"Ok, let's go to class now", I left a breath I didn't know I was holding.
When I left Rach at her class, I passed through the lockers only to met the only one Quinn Fabray.
-"I thought you were already in class", I casually said while I leaned over her locker.
-"Hey, Finn…I'm just leaving", she quickly said but I grabbed her by the wrist and made her look at me.
-"I only want to know how you are", I said while looking directly at her eyes.
-"I'm fine; but Finn, I've told you to leave me alone", she harshly stated while avoiding my eyes.
-"I want us to be friends", the words left my mouth before I could think properly.
-"I can't be your friends, sorry", she whispered.
-"But Q, think about it", I tried to convince her, as being friends was better than being nothing.
-"No, think: there's nothing to think about. You told me that you didn't want to have anything with me, so I respected your decision", the sadness in her eyes couldn't be hidden and that broke my heart a little more.
-"I didn't mean to say that…", I mumbled ashamed of being me who let her go.
-"Yes, you meant it…so now, it's too late Finn…there's no way in hell I'll come back to you", she quietly said while staring at him.
-"Please, Q let me explain it…", I said in a low voice begging her for an opportunity.
-"There's no need…feelings can't be explained: you love someone or you don't, and you clearly didn't love me", she told me with bitterness on her voice, before leaving me again.
-"Yes, I loved you and I will always love you", I whispered although she couldn't here me.
Hold on to me and, never let me go… Keep breathing… Hold on to me and, never let me go
Third's Point of View, Glee
The second day of school was uneventful for senior students, although they were full of homework to do and projects to prepare. Therefore, life wasn't different for Quinn and Finn, as they found in school hours the perfect excuse to see each other, despite their fights and silences. While the hands of the clock marked the unstoppable pass of time, the tiredness was shown on their faces. Thankfully, the end of school day arrived and some students were going to their extra classes. Not surprisingly, the unholy trinity arrived late to the first meeting and so, they took a seat on the end of the second row waiting for Mr. Shue to start the class.
-"Hello, kids! Are you excited about this new year?", Mr. Shue happily greeted the kids.
-"Aghhhhh… Mr. Shue, just let start so we can go to the mall", Cedes answered.
-"Oh, well I thought that for our first assignment…", the professor started only to be interrupted by the rising of a hand.
-"Mr. Shue, can I sing something?", a beautiful blonde asked strangely shyly.
-"Yeah, sure Quinn, go ahead", the teacher answered gladly that someone was as excited as him.
-"Well, San and Britt will help me… this song is my way to show that I've changed …I don't want to cling to the past… I move on and I cant live anymore from memories…"
Looking back on when I started
Had a lot of sun and a lot of rain
I had some joy and been broken hearted
But now that doesn't mean a thing
I'm living for the joy and laughter
Longing for my befores and afters
All in all it's been cool
And there's nothing I wouldn't do
I'm so happy being me
Through the first lines, Quinn looked directly at Finn as trying to explain him that there was not any other chance for them.
So happy being me
I'm regretting nothing about me
Too busy living life, giving love,
Freely so happy being me
All the members of glee were enjoying listening to Quinn's voice. For the first time, she seemed real, authentic; beautiful…it was as if Quinn had let their walls fall and they were able to meet her, the real her, not the Ice Queen…
Stop reaching back from your beginnings
All those broken dreams that went down stream
As we grow, live and know
Some things were never meant to be
Just like people come and go
Some will live forever and some we'll never know
That's why God gives us memories
To lead us to our victories
Finn, on the other hand, was paralyzed as he knew exactly that there wouldn't be us anymore. Long before, he had made his choice and now he was forced to let the beautiful blond free …but, maybe, he wasn't ready to just say goodbye forever.
Ohhh, so happy being me
I'm regretting nothing about me
Too busy living life, giving love, Freely
So happy being me
All those hidden treasures
Feeling nothing but pleasure
We could never replace, His love (We can't no we can't no)
The sunlight leads us to a place and the moonlight keeps us in His grace ohhhhhhhh
yeah Ohhhhhhh whoooo whoooo oooooooooooo
I'm so happy happy being me
When the song ended, Cedes and Kurt went directly to congratulate their friend for a breathtaking performance.
-"Wow, Quinn…this was undoubtedly your best performance so far…your voice sounded incredibly soft and sweet yet determined at the same time", their professor said reassuringly.
-"Thanks, Mr. Shue", Quinn smiled at him, trying to take her seat without looking at Finn.
-"Well, for the assignment…you will choose a partner to sing a song that describes your relation. Is that right?", he asked while looking at his students.
-"Has the partner to be in glee?", Q asked when all turned to look at her with astonishment in their eyes.
-"No, you can choose someone from outside glee, Q… that will be a nice move to get more members", Mr. Shue said after thinking carefully.
-"I don't think so Mr. Shue", Finn said harshly having an idea of whom Quinn would choose.
-"Finn, I'm the professor…you can choose whoever you want, ok?", he said silencing all the whispers around the class covering Finn's reaction.
For the rest of the class, Finn was quiet, haunted by his own thoughts about the blonde who sang her heart out at glee.
The songs are:
To be with You, by Westlife
Far Away, by Nickelback
Happy being me, by Angie Stone
