Chapter 8: Moving In

"So after Quinn's grandfather died what happened?" Charlie asks me once we get home. "Well me and Quinn were just like any other college couple for a while. When we were in our third year of college we took a major step in our relationship" I say. "What did you do?" Charlie asked me. "Well….." I say and begin to tell her the next part of the story.

It was Quinn and I's three year anniversary and I had taken her out to our favourite place. It was a little coffee shop which I played guitar at to earn some extra money. I was preparing to ask her something special and I wanted to be somewhere comfortable. I reached across the table and held her hand. She smiled but asked "How come so touchy-feely tonight?". "Well it's a special night. We've been together 3 years. And actually after dinner I have a surprise for you" I say. "Oh what is it?" she asks excitedly. "Not yet" I say and put my finger to my lips. I know I've annoyed her for the entirety of dinner because she'll keep wondering what it is I'm going to do for her.

It was after dinner and Quinn grabbed my hand. "Come on Finn. Tell me what my surprise is already" she says impatiently tapping her foot. "One more minute Quinn and you'll find out" I say. Just after I say that Carl, the guy who owns our favourite coffee shop comes onto the stage with my guitar. "Hey isn't that your guitar?" Quinn asks me. "Could be, could be" I say. "And please welcome to the stage our regular singer Finn Hudson" Carl announces. Quinn looks at me with surprised eyes but I kiss her and whisper "trust me" .

I take my guitar from Carl and speak into the microphone. "This song is for my lovely girlfriend Quinn. I hope you like it" I say.

Finn:

You're my peace of mind in this crazy world

You're everything I've tried to find, your love is a pearl

You're my Mona Lisa, you're my rainbow skies

And my only prayer is that you realize

You'll always be beautiful in my eyes

The world will turn, and the seasons will change

And all the lessons that we will learn will be beautiful and strange

We'll have our fill of tears, our share of sighs

My only prayer is that you realize

You'll always be beautiful in my eyes

You will always be beautiful in my eyes

And the passing years will show

That you will always grow ever more beautiful in my eyes

When there are lines upon my face from a lifetime of smiles

When the time comes to embrace for one long last while

We can laugh about how time really flies

We won't say goodbye cause true love never dies

You'll always be beautiful in my eyes

You will always be beautiful in my eyes

And the passing years will show

That you will always grow ever more beautiful in my eyes

The passing years will show

That you will always grow ever more beautiful in my eyes

I finish singing and everyone claps. I take the mike again but this time it's to say something. "This song was for my beautiful girlfriend Quinn. And I have a special question to ask her so could she come up onto the stage". Quinn looks at me shocked but she comes up onto the stage. I take her hand. "Quinn Fabray will you move in with me?" I ask. "Yes!" she says and kisses me.

"Dad how come you're so romantic and yet you've never had a date in all the years we've lived in this apartment?" Charlie asks. "I was a romantic a long time ago Charlie. And then the perfect girl slipped through my fingers and I was too much of a coward to stop her from leaving and tell her how much I loved her. And besides dating isn't really my scene" I say. "You should find Rachel Dad. It's clear she's the one you really love. So don't be a coward again. Go after her" Charlie says. "We'll see Charlie" I say. "But what's stopping you? You're telling me this story about how you were so romantic with 3 girls who may have been my mom and yet you've lost that guy and you're miserable. Go after Rachel Dad. You know you want to" Charlie says. "Look Charlie we'll discuss this some other time. Do you want to hear what happens next or not?" I ask. "So what happened after that?" Charlie asks. "Well Quinn moved in with me. But about a year after she did- after we graduated college things went sour between me and Quinn" I say. "How exactly?" Charlie asks. "It happened like this" I say and I begin to tell her the next part of the story.

I had got back early from my work- I was manager at a music store. Quinn was still on set shooting downtown for her new movie. I was completely alone. Just then the post arrives and it's a letter for Quinn from STA International. I know I shouldn't open Quinn's letters but when she has a letter from a debt collector I can't help myself. I'm overreacting. It's probably just overdue student loan. But when I open it I gasp in shock. It's not a student loan repayment reminder.

"Honey I'm home" Quinn calls once she gets in. I don't answer. I'm too angry. She comes into the kitchen and sees me with the open letter. "You opened my mail!" she yells at me. "Yeah and it's a good job I did. You have gambling debt Quinn. When did you start gambling?" I ask. "Last year. When I turned 21" Quinn admits looking shamefaced. "YOU'VE GAMBLED AWAY ALL YOUR MONEY. EVERYTHING. HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO PAY IT ALL OFF?" I ask. "I was hoping you'd help me" Quinn admits. "HELP YOU? WHY ON EARTH WOULD I HELP YOU REPAY YOUR DEBT. IT'S YOUR PROBLEM." I yell at Quinn. "But you said when we moved in we were in this together. So shouldn't you help me with this?" I ask. "NO I SHOULD NOT HELP WITH A PROBLEM YOU NEVER TOLD ME YOU HAD. AND IF YOU'RE IN DEBT I ASSUME YOU HAVE A GAMBLING PROBLEM!" I yell. "I don't. I gamble for fun" Quinn says. I calm myself down and say the next bit in a normal tone of voice. "Either you stay with me and sort out your problem or you leave. Your choice Quinn" I say. I wait for her to say she's in love with me and she could never leave me. She doesn't. She simply looks at me. And then walks out the door.

"So is Rachel my mom then?" Charlie asks. "There's 2 years between this part of the story and when you were born Charlie. A lot can happen in two years. I'll tell you who your mom is when we get to that part of the story ok" I say. "Ok. But I think its Rachel. And I still think you should find her. Think about it Dad" she says and kisses me before going to her room.

She's right. I should go after her. And, oh to hell with it. I'm going to find the love of my life- Rachel Berry.
