Chapter 4: Are We There Yet? (Part 1).
20 minutes into the road, and things seemed to be running pretty smoothly, well what the Glee kids would call smoothly. Mr. Schue was driving in the front, with Emma and Carl engaging in a conversation concerning global warming, and Mr. Schue simply nodded and smiled, as he stirred his focus closer to the road, ignoring when both their voices slowly started to fade, as they both whispered and giggled in eachother's ear. Sue followed behind with Becky by her side clipboard in hand, and directed Sue's orders, and made note of who Sue was kicking off the Cheerios's next week.
Mercedes was driving, and Kurt was flipping through a Vogue magazine, informing her on the latest fashion trends slurring through Paris. Tina and Mike were seating in the back seat, both listening to music on their iPods, as she closed her eyes, and laid her head on his shoulder and tapped her knee to the beat of the song. Brittany had brought along a coloring book, and had cursed beneath her breath when she noticed she had colored outside the lines.
Rachel had brought along a Journey soundtrack, and both were singing along to the tunes of "Anyway You Want It." Rachel correcting his pitch everytime he had hit a slight sour note. Sam was driving in back, along with Quinn by his side, she was holding on to his free hand, and Puck and Santana were behind them, doing... well they were making out, and Artie pretended to ignore them, looking outside the window counting the cars passing by, while he texted on his phone every few minutes.
Half an hour into the car ride, Puck and Santana had stopped kissing, to everyone's relief. The car was quiet, Quinn leaned her forehead towards the window, as she stared outside the passing trees, slowly closing her eyes. She moved her body to get a bit more comfortable, closing in her legs to the seat, she tightened her eyes a bit as she felt a sudden "thump" movement hitting against the lower back of her seat. She simply shaked her head, and thought it was a bump they just passed or something. She felt the "thump" movement hit again, and ignored it, the 5 or so time she heard it, she opened her eyes frustrated, and straightened her posture so she was sitting up. She tilt her body to face the back seats, and stared at the one person, she knew was mindlessly kicking her back seat.
"Can you stop that?" She yelled, clearly annoyed.
"What? I can't help it if this car ride is more boring than that time you made me watch that stupid movie." He fired back, hands together, sloutched in his seat.
"Oh, you mean The Notebook?" She said raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, I mean what the hell was that? This dude writes a letter to this chick everyday for a year, and than the slut leaves him."
"She comes back to him in the end, Puck." She said, reminding him how the story went.
"Psh, That guy was a whimp anyway, seriously who the hell has time for that kind of mushy bullshit." He said crossing his arms.
Quinn looks down, playing with her fingers. "It was romantic Puck, something you will never be, nor will ever know how to do." She said annoyed at his poor use for knowing the first thing in relationships.
Puck tilted his head, and looked at her as if he had just accepted a challenge. "I can be romantic." He smirked.
"Using a girl just to have sex with you is not romantic, it's selfish and stupid." She continued to look away.
"Oh really? Because last time I checked you need TWO people to have sex. Therefore you were just as selfish and stupid as I was."
She finally turned around, and un-buckled her seat belt to face him fully. "I wasn't. YOU got me drunk. YOU got me pregnant. Or did you somehow forget the past year and a half?" She said, her voice growing gradually louder.
Puck's eyes grew with anger. "Of course I didn't forget. You remind me everyday when you prance around the school playing Brad and Angelina with blondie here."
"Okay, how did I somehow get involved?" Sam said, not turning away from the road, confused.
"Don't get Sam involved. At least he cared about me when we got together." She said leaning in closer to Puck's direction, now angry he's turning this on him.
Puck lost control, and Santana grew a hold of his arms when his hands started to form into fists. "Oh don't give me that. I told you I LOVED YOU, Quinn. I. LOVED. YOU. And you know what Quinn, boyfriend or not, I STILL DO!" He blurted out.
The tention in the car grew quiet. Puck slouched back in his chair, and shaked his head, not believing what he had just said. Quinn, not realizing she was still looking at him, mouth open, eyes completely teary, and confused, clearly shocked. She just looked at him, and silently sat back in her seat, she slightly glanced over at Sam, who looked pissed. Like really pissed. He decided it was best not to say a word, still keeping in note he was still the driver, but Quinn noticed his hands clentching tighter and tighter onto the wheel. She didn't know whether she should hold him, or do something to calm him down. She decided to wait until they stopped for lunch, so they could talk things through. And with that, she leaned her head back, her forehead once again touching the window, closing her eyes, sighing.
"Wow.. this is just like the movie." Artie whispered in fascination, his head leaning into Santana's.
"You actually watched the movie?" She said in disbelief.
Artie nodded.
"Wow. Will somebody please turn on the radio?" She said tapping Sam's shoulder, signaling him to turn on the radio. He nodded, and turned it on as music started to sink into the car's speakers.
Finn and Rachel's car.
"I'm Forever Yours...Faithfully." Rachel and Finn both ending the song together, looking into one another's eyes, as they mouthed the final lyrics, and smiled, Rachel holding onto his free hand, and Finn using his thumb to rub her tiny finger that was inter-wined in his palm.
"That really is our song." She smiled sweetly, her eyes filled with passion as she replayed the lyrics over and over again in her head.
Finn nodded. "I really do love you." He said looking over to her, letting out a small smile.
"I love you too." She said, she leaned over and kissed his cheek.
"So, what are you planning to do when you get to the campsite?" He asked, curiously. Neither of them had brought up what they're plans were once they arrived.
Rachel leaned her forehead againsy the window, and tilted her head a bit. "I was thinking of exploring the area first."
Finn looked at her confused, and smirked a bit. "By yourself?"
Rachel sighed, and rolled her eyes. "Yes Finn. I'm a big girl."
Finn chuckled. "Okay, but just so you know if your gonna get eaten by a wolf or something, it's going to be on my conscious."
"Finn I'll be completely safe. The area is well secured."
Finn nodded slowly, but still didn't believe it. "Alright... but i'm coming with you."
"Why?" She said looking over to him, releasing her hand from his, and patting them on her legs.
"Because I don't want my girlfriend to be wondering in the wilderness alone." He said truthfully.
"Finn, it's fine really. My dad's enrolled me in 'Girl Scouts' at the age of 9, I'm probably the most experienced of the group, therefore I know what to do, if and when I'm in danger, which I won't be." She smiled. "I have a 4 badges in survival skills." "OH! And I'm proud to say, I was the only one of my group to make a fire using solely a can of Coke, and a chocolate bar." She flipped her hair, and smiled.
Finn looked confused. "How did you even-"
Rachel put her hands in front of her. "Don't ask."
Finn nodded, suprised. His girlfriend was a kick ass camper. This my friend, was a turn on.
"But we are sneaking out afterwards right? Because that's what everyone's doing..." He continued.
Rachel smiled seductively. "Oh you mean, sneak into my tent and try to get into my pants." She giggled.
Finn looked at her, and coughed a bit, clearing his throat at what she just said. "Psh. psh. Of course not Rachel."
Rachel leaned her forehead back into the window, plopping out a book out of her bag. "Mmm.."
"You know I would never make you do anything you don't want to do." He said looking over at her, before turning his attention back to the road.
"Of course Finn, I know that. But who knows, maybe this time can be different." She said smiling a bit.
"What are you saying?" He smirked, but in a puzzled kind of way, his attention still on the road.
Rachel closed the book. "I'm saying I'm ready, Finn."
Finn looked over at her, shocked. "W-What?" he said "Are you serious?" His shocked look, turned into a small smile.
"Yes, Finn. I've been ready for weeks now, I just wanted to wait for the perfect moment to tell you and-" Rachel looked over to the road. "FINN! WATCH OUT!"
She pointed towards the front, his hands quickly grabbing a firm hold of the wheel, as he tried to control the speed of the car, he pulled the breaks, as he slowly got the car under control.
Both Finn and Rachel let out a small sigh. "That was close. " She said smacking his arm a bit.
Finn was still trying to process the fact that she's ready to have sex with him, not realizing that he almost got Rachel and him killed. "Uh huh." He said with a blank look on his face.
Rachel nodded. "Eyes on the road from now on, I don't want to die a virgin, you know." She said playfully.
Finn smiled. "Are you really... like really sure? Because I'm completely fine if you're not. I ment what I said, you know about not pushing you to do anything you don't wanna do."
"Finn, you're not pushing me. I've waited so long, and I trust you, I love you so much, and I've finally come to realize that." "You're the one I want to do it with, Finn."
Finn looked surpised. "I know, me too. Wow, I can't believe it." He laughed.
"Me neither! Are you nervous? Consiering it's your first as well."Finn gulped. "Not really.. well sort of." Finn had forgetten he didn't tell Rachel about the whole Santana, situation. It never crossed his mind. Well it did, when Rachel had told him a couple of months ago she hadn't done it with Jesse. He was going to tell her, and as much as he loves her, he would have told her. But then she'd break up with him. And he did not want that. He's been wanting to tell her ever since she told him about Jesse, but Rachel tends to be a bit over dramatic to say the least, he thought it would be best just to not mention it, he could just pretend it never happened... yeah that could work.
"Me too.. I'm just glad it's with you." She smiled and rubbed his shoulder.
"Yeah me too..." He said trying to concentrate on the road, yep, he's screwed.
Kurt, Mercedes, Tina, Mike, and Brittany's car.
"I cannot believe high waisted jeans are back in style." Kurt said, quickly glancing through a gossip magazine.
"I like high waisted jeans." Tina looked over, putting away her iPod.
"There is simply no excuse for them Tina. They make your thighs like 10 times bigger."
"I like them..." "on Tina anyways.." Mike shrugged.
Kurt rolled his eyes, proceeding with his magazine.
"So, what are you guys planning to do once we get there?" Mercedes smiled.
"Probably go for a swim." Mike said, Tina nodding.
"I plan to go on the search for Bigfoot." Brittany said looking up from her coloring book.
Everyone looked at her confused... and a bit creeped out.
"Brittany, sorry to break it to you but, Bigfoot is not real, you know 'make believe' " Kurt said.
"You're going to be sorry you said that, when I capture him." She said with a sneaky voice.
"And how do you plan to do that?" Tina asked, still confused.
"I have a net, and a jar of penut butter." She simply said.
Everyone looked away, slowly. Still freaked out, when someone's phone started to buzz.
Kurt reached into his pocket, and quickly answered his phone.
"Hello?" Kurt said.
"Hey, Kurt, It's Mr. Schue just wanted to call you saying we'll be stopping in about 10 minutes. The'res a diner 2 exists down, so be sure to tell Mercedes."
"Will do. Thank you." Kurt hung up.
"Mr. Schue said we'll be eating in like 10 minutes." He told everyone, gathering his stuff together, while looking though his messages.
Suddenly a phone started to ring. "Mercedes you got a text."Kurt said getting her phone. "It's from Quinn."
Mercedes looked confused. "What does it say?"
Kurt opened her phone, and frowned. "It says 'I can't believe I might be falling for him... AGAIN :( Why do I do this to myself?' "
Everyone looked at Kurt, with blanks and confused looks on their faces, but strangely everyone knew what Quinn was talking about, it was one of those 'here we go again' moments. And now, they really couldn't wait until this trip was over.
Sorry it took long! I had such a busy week! I couldn't manage to write the entire car ride in one chapter, so i'm splitting it up into two chapters! Hope that's alright with everyone :D Anyways, what's gonna happen next? Will Rachel find out about Finn? What about Puck and Quinn? Will Brittany find Bigfoot? Will Sam say something to Puck? and what about Will and Emma? GAHH SO MANY COUPLES! And also, excuse my bad grammer, I still suck at it :P so just bare with me, lol.
OH AND what did you guys think about the Sectionals episode? I'm so upset about Finn and Rachel! It's hard to write, knowing the're not together :( I'm sort of glad they tied! I want Kurt back in with New Directions though! It was so sad seeing the club perform 'Dog Days Are Over' without him :/
Okay, I'll be quiet. LOL. Comment, and Review please! I truly appreciate every one of them! They make me smile! :)
