Note: I will be switching to Rachel and Brittany's POV as well, but for now I just wanted get back to Quinn's.

Quinn POV

It doesn't happen very often that I agree with Rachel, but this road trip actually seemed like a good idea. I mean, it's not really something I'd normally do… But right now, getting away from it all just sounds great. I don't know where we're going, and honestly I don't really care. This trip is a perfect chance to forget about everything. I know I can't run away forever, but at least for a little while… Right?

Rachel's on her way to pick Brittany up, leaving me alone with Santana. As I'm sitting on the couch I see Santana making her way over to the kitchen. Every time I see her move around with those crutches I feel my heart aching for her. I know it wasn't easy for her to make the decision to go to NYADA. She acts all tough but the truth is, she gets scared. And now she finally decided to chase her dreams and this happened. It's not fair.

I should have been there for her. If I would've called, just once… And Britt, god I had no idea. I can't believe I missed so much, and all for that fucking pig. I can't believe I was in love with that man. Why do I always fall so fast? Is it because they always seem to say the right things? Because they make me feel like I'm worth something? Am I just that gullible? I just can't seem stop myself from screwing up, over and over again.

'Goddamnit!' I hear Santana yell as she breaks me out of my thoughts. I get up and rush over to the kitchen.

'What the hell are you doing?' I see her trying to climb up a chair to reach the top cabinet. God, she is so stubborn.

'I wanted to get the damn sugar. Fucking Hummel put it in the top cabinet, I just need to –'

Before she could attempt to crawl onto the chair I move over to her to pull her back.

'Stop it! You can't do that,' I say as I ease her down. I know she wanted to fight me but even Santana knows that wouldn't have been a good idea.

'I can't do shit Q, I'm sick of it.'

'Santana…' I take her hand and she looks at me as if she's surprised that I'm still here. I need to prove to her that I'm not going to leave her again. Yet another reason why Rachel's idea was a good one.

Suddenly we both look up as we hear the front door open.

'Guess who I brought home!' Rachel called.

A moment later Rachel marches into the kitchen, followed by Brittany.

'Brit!' I run up to her and pull her into a hug.

'Quinn, I missed you.'

I pull away to face her. 'I know, I missed you too.'

She nodded and walked over to Santana, who now sat down on the chair. Brittany bends over to hug her and placed a kiss on her cheek. She turns back around to face me. 'Quinn, how long are you staying for?'

So Rachel didn't tell her about our plans yet, guess she wanted to wait 'til we were all here. 'Ehm…' Before I could make out a response Rachel interjected.

'We wanna go on a road trip!'

I look over at Rachel and she has the biggest smile on her face.

'You are way too excited,' Santana replies, frowning at Rachel.

'A road trip?' Brittany looks pretty confused.

I hear Santana let out a sigh. 'Yeah, Berry suddenly got this crazy idea about us going on a road trip together. You know, for the summer.'

'Oh my god. I'm totally down.' I guess Brittany shares Rachel's enthusiasm.

I catch Santana rolling her eyes, she knows this means she has to come. 'So Lopez, no backing out now,' I tell her.

'Wait, you didn't want to come?' Brittany asked.

'Well… I don't know, it's just kinda out of the blue brit. And besides, I'm stuck in these freakin' crutches, I'd only be dragging you guys down.'

Rachel walks over to Santana and rests her hand on Santana's good leg. 'You won't. It wouldn't be any fun without your snarky remarks anyway. I promise, we'll have a good time.'

I can see Santana still has her doubts, so I try to convince her. 'Rachel's right, it wouldn't be the same without you. And what exactly were you planning to do if you stayed at home by yourself?'

'I don't know. Probably burn all Rachel's Broadway DVD's.'

'Hey! There's no way I'm leaving you here alone now.'

Santana rolled her eyes. 'Come on you've seen them all like a gazillion times, I can't take any more of it.'

'It'll be cool,' Brittany interrupted. She was obviously still taken by the idea of a road trip. 'We can all spend time together, just like we used to!' As Brittany said this she gave me a quick glance. I know she was referring to our McKinley days. We've always been friends, but since senior year it did get harder to keep in touch. Although I have to say, we did a pretty good job at it. I mean, until a few months ago…

Suddenly I notice a smile on Santana's face. She tried to contain it, but nonetheless it was a smile. 'Guess I don't have a choice.'

'Well you do have a choice. But you'd be missing out,' I say, but as I do I realize we still don't even know where we're going.

'On what exactly?' She asks with skeptical look on her face.

I just shrug awkwardly, since I don't really know how to answer that. But apparently Rachel did.

'She's right, you'd be missing out on a lot. I have this whole thing planned out, let me just get my map –'

And before we knew it, Rachel was gone like the wind. Santana, Brittany and I all exchange some confused looks.

'What is her problem,' Santana said as she raised one eyebrow, staring at the door that Rachel flew out just a few seconds ago.

'This is gonna be good,' I say, but I'm not sure yet if I mean that in a sarcastic way or not.

'I don't care where we're going, as long as it's with you guys.' Brittany looks at both of us with a sweet smile. I'm starting to understand how lonely she's been at MIT. She missed her friends… But we weren't around. So of course this road trip probably meant the world to her.

'Yeah, you're right,' I tell her as I pull her into another embrace.

'Okay! It's gonna be freakin' amazing! Let me show you guys what I planned.' And there Rachel was again. She rushed to the kitchen table and put down the map.

'So I was thinking we could start off making our way to Montauk, and you know, explore the city and just see what the place has to offer. I hear it's pretty good. After that, we can drive up to New Hampshire, my uncle has a cabin out there. We could do the whole sitting by the fire place thing, you know, talk to each other all night, all of that.'

Brittany watched Rachel explain, and as she did I saw some of Brittany's old sparkle return to her eyes. When she walked in, she… I don't know, she smiled but she still looked sad, if that even makes sense.

'Oh right, and Kurt said he knew someone with an RV. He said he was willing to rent it to us for a very reasonable price. This way you won't be too uncomfortable Santana.'

Santana smiled at Rachel. I swear to god, if I didn't know any better I'd think she's actually getting excited. But I know there's no way she'd ever admit that.

Rachel continued to point at the map. 'Next, we go to the Adirondacks mountains. It's really beautiful out there! Also I heard there was this drive in theatre, how cool is that?'

'Drive in theatre? That's very… retro…' Santana mumbled.

'Shut up, I think it's fun.' I liked the idea of a drive in theatre. Finn once took me to one when we were still dating, it just had a certain charm to it.

'Right. Well after that we're not that far away from Lake Ontario. We could follow the seaway trail, and wait for it… See Niagara Falls.'

Brittany looked up at Rachel. 'I've always wanted to see the falls.'

I had to agree. 'That does sound pretty amazing.'

Even Santana had to admit, it was a great idea. 'Not bad Berry… But hold up, when the hell did you figure all this out?'

Rachel's smile grew even bigger, if that's even possible. 'I was so excited about the idea, I just couldn't sleep so I stayed up late trying to figure out where we could go.'

I wasn't surprised, once Rachel had an idea she would always get carried away. Thank god she did though. 'Definitely worth it, I can't wait. When are you gonna be off from NYADA?'

'Next week.'

'Hummel's gonna be so jealous.'

'This summer…' Brittany started. 'Is going to be awesome.'

Without a doubt.

Note: A thank you to Joylinda for the Niagara Falls idea! I don't really know if the rest of the trip even makes sense... I'm not from the U.S. but I tried so bare with me :) I'm just gonna continue this for now, because I think it'll be fun to write. One last thing, anyone have any ideas for the next POV? Back to Santana, stick with Quinn or move over to Rachel or Brittany?

Anyways, have lovely day/evening, wherever you're from!
