Chapter 10

Quinn sat at her small desk at Yale, trying to wrap her head around how she ended up alone on her birthday. Sure she received a lot of texts and Facebook messages and Instagram shout outs but all she really wanted was to be with her friends. At this point, she wasn't even sure who her friends were. She knew she had Finn, Mike, and Tina. Maybe that was it. Rachel barely said hello to her since graduation and Santana was too busy trying to figure out what she wanted to do with her life to give Quinn a call. Brittany didn't have time for her anymore. Puck had moved on. Sam still hated her. Ali and Emily were…well, Ali and Emily. The only people she had spent any quality time with were Finn, Mike, and Tina. Mike and Tina both sent her a long Facebook message but she still didn't have anything from Finn. Finally giving up, Quinn shut the textbook she had been attempting to read and laid down on her bed, starting to play on her phone. Just as she was about to turn it off to go to sleep, Finn's picture appeared on her phone and she grinned while answering his call. "Hello?"

"You didn't actually believe I would let you go the entire day without calling you, did you?" Finn asked, sounding a little too proud of himself. It was almost midnight.

"That's not funny; it's almost not even my birthday anymore," she rolled her eyes, biting her lip to stop herself from smiling. "What if I had been asleep?"

"I knew you weren't. You're always up until at least 12 working on homework. How has your birthday been so far?" He asked, smiling into the phone.

She finally gave up and smiled as well. "Peachy. You're the only person who's actually called me today. I've pretty much just gotten Facebook messages and Tweets. How's your day been?"

He shrugged, laying down while he spoke. "Okay. It's not my day, though, it's yours. What are we doing this weekend to celebrate?"

"I knew you'd say that," she smiled, thankful that all of the doubts she had earlier were unreal. "I don't know, I don't have any plans yet. Maybe we could get together with Mike and Tina and go out for dinner or something? Or maybe we could see a movie? I don't really care."

"Come on, Q, it's your birthday. We see movies all the time and we do dinner almost every week. How about we try something new? What if we threw a huge party that you can invite all your smart Yale friends to? We could rent out some nice restaurant or bar or something near New Haven." Finn suggested, grinning a little while he thought of ideas. "I could get a cake or something."

She nodded while she replied. "That sounds great."

"So how have you been? We haven't talked much since the party."

She shrugged and waited a moment while she tried to figure out what to say. "I don't know. I miss you. I can't wait to see you this weekend."

"Yeah I miss you, too. I wish we could see each other more often," Finn agreed, sighing a little.

They continued talking for over an hour and a half before they both decided it was time to go to sleep and they would talk again the next day. Although they had their differences, Finn and Quinn could always talk. No matter how many times they got back together and broke up and got back together again, they would always be friends. That's how everyone in glee club felt about each other.
