How Could I Forget Chapter 9
Quinn loved that summer was coming up which meant she would get to hang out with her friends without the constant 'exam time' rush. Even though she lived with Jay and Alex, Quinn was starting to forget what they both looked like. Between their part time jobs and exams they hardly spent anytime at home.
Similar to the boys both Rachel and Nyla have been MIA as of late; not that she minded one bit. She just found it weird. Turning the key to her apartment she placed one of her shopping bags into her mouth and kicked the door open gently so she could get her stuff into the room.
"Quinn, you're here" Jay all but shouted looking up from one of his books. She smiled him Alex, Nyla and Rachel.
"Is that food?" Alex asked jumping off the ground and around the countless books surrounding them.
"Let me help you with those right there" he took the bag from her mouth taking a whiff of the take out.
"You are a lifesaver babe" he said kissing her cheek and running to the kitchen area.
"You could've at least taken the other bags you loser" Nyla chuckled as she and Jay took the other bag of groceries from here.
Quinn shook her head at just how crazy her friends were and winked at her girlfriend. It's been a couple of weeks since they were back in New York and Quinn thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. She had spent most of her time with Rachel and the others when she wasn't working for the temp agency.
"Quinnie" Rachel said jumping into Quinn's arms happily.
Quinn firmly held onto her and smiled contented.
"Final exam preparations coming okay?" She asked
Rachel nodded then laughed. "Remind me why we had to take Theory of Method Acting" she said so the others could hear.
Both girls turned to face the others to see them all heads down and chewing.
"For singers and dancers you guys eat a lot"
Rachel pulled Quinn into the house and closed the door. They both gathered around the books and food shared between the others.
"How was work Quinn?" Nyla asked still chewing on a bit of food.
Quinn gave thumbs up and smiled. "I am working for a doctor's office this week and the boss is awesome. Her name is Andréa and she works with kids. The entire place is like Narnia. I love it and the kids love it"
Rachel listened as intently as she could while her girlfriend spoke about her work. She felt bad about neglecting her as of late and although Quinn understood she refused to make a habit out of not seeing her.
"One more night" Jay said exasperatedly
"One more night" Rachel said raising her bottle of water.
"Hey Ny, where's Simon?"
"Working, he had to take a late shift because of his exam this morning but he should be here soon. You helping us pull an all nighter?" She asked Quinn hopefully. Quinn shrugged stealing a piece of eggplant from Rachel's plate. Rachel pouted a little then rolled her eyes when Jay leaned forward to put a couple of pieces onto her container.
For the next hour everyone had been fed, Simon included and back to work. Quinn took a shower and pulled a couple of the books closer to her throwing out question after question. Though she had no idea what half the stuff she's been calling out was she tried to help her friends as much as possible.
"Okay I'm out, it's pushing 1am and I have to work tomorrow. You guys should try to get some type of sleep tonight and good luck to you all. Love you guys" she said kissing Rachel chastely before heading to the bathroom to brush her teeth. Nyla took over asking questions from what she could hear and she felt hands wrap around her.
"Couple more hours and I'm all yours" Rachel whispered into Quinn's ear. She leaned back putting her head onto Rachel's.
"You should rest soon too"
"We will, I'll be next to you in another hour or so. We're going to go again from the start in a couple of hours"
Quinn turned around to face Rachel and kissed her cheek with remnants of toothpaste still there.
"Eww Quinn gross"
Quinn shrugged and wiped away the toothpaste.
"See you soon" she said letting Rachel lead the way out of the bathroom.
Bang
Bang
Bang
Rachel groaned opening her eyes. She turned to see the bed next to her empty and cold and furrowed her eyebrows.
"Wake your ass up Rachel, we're gonna be late" Nyla shouted through the door.
"I'll be right out" she shouted looking at her phone. She spotted the countless missed calls from everyone trying to wake her and rushed to the drawer of clothes she kept over here.
She pulled out the quickest outfit she could find and dialed Quinn's number.
Finally Quinn said through the phone
when I left home all of you were knocked out. I couldn't get you to wake up. I finally got Simon up half hour ago. You guys are going to be late
no we won't. We're already heading through the door
This wasn't completely untrue. Rachel balanced her backpack and jeans in one hand with her phone and in the other hand she had one of Quinn's old cheerio shirts. Everyone else had the same predicament as her. All halfed dress and running around the room.
Baby I'll call you after the exam. Thanks for waking us
no problem. Tell the others I say good luck and do your best
we will she hung up getting into Alex's jeep.
As they all settled long enough to get onto the road to school Rachel pulled the jeans over the sleeping shorts she's been wearing.
"Fuck!" She said loudly.
Alex slowed a little and looked at her in the mirror.
"What's wrong Rach?" Jay asked from the front seat.
"I'm not wearing any shoes"
Quinn kissed Rachel's pout away as they entire group sat around the table of her and Nyla's apartment.
"Come on babe, admit it was pretty funny"
"Oh what do you know, you weren't even there" Rachel said folding her arms. Quinn squeezed her a little tighter stifling a laugh. If Rachel knew she saw the pictures that the boys took she would be furious with her. Rachel huffed and leaned into Quinn.
"What do you want to do tonight?" Quinn asked
Rachel shrugged then got an evil smirk. "I'm with you so I'm perfect"
"I know you must be tired from lastnight so how about I cook us some dinner and then we can watch a movie and go to bed a little earlier?"
Rachel yawned and nodded "Sounds great. Should I'll call Ny and see if she wants to join us?"
"Up to you love. I'm going to do enough for her anyway in case she came home"
Quinn was walking towards the fridge when Rachel came up behind her and kissed her neck.
"You're a sweetheart Quinn Fabray"
"You bring the best out of me" she shrugged.
"Surprise!" a mass of voices said as Quinn and Rachel entered the blonde's apartment. Standing there was Nyla, Simon, Alex, Jay, Santana and Brittany all with party hats on their heads. Rachel smiled widely and looked at Quinn who leaned into her.
"Um Rach, it's not my birthday" she whispered
"We know that, but you never got to celebrate your 18th birthday so we decided to throw you a little 'Happy 18th Birthday/School's Out' surprise party in celebration"
"You guys are weird" she said hugging each of them.
"Whatever Quinn. We got drinks, we got presents. Have fun" Nyla said pulling her into a tight hug.
"I imagine that I will"
