Unfinished

Chapter 9

It's often said that, no matter the truth, people see what they want to see. Some people might take a step back and find out they were looking at the same big picture all along. Some people might see that their lies have almost caught up to them. Some people may see what was there all along. And then there are those other people. The ones that run as far as they can so they don't have to look at themselves.

Some Time Later.

Taking a deep breath. As she looked around there were so many people here. The undiscovered talent was everywhere. This though it was here turn and she would show them exactly who she was. Quinn was next in line.

As the people with the name list called out to the crowd. "Lynn!"

The tired voice said. "No it's Quinn." She said. Stepping up to them. Showing them her name. They looked up at her. Then back at each other. And said. "Go in there and do your lines." The guy said. As Quinn walked through the door. And closed it behind her. Inside the people who were judging the scene. Looked to her and smiled. "We'll let you know if got the part when you're done." "We've seen a lot of girls try out for this so just be real, raw, and show us that you are the character." The woman said. As Quinn took that in and begin to replay the scene she had almost burned into her mind.

"You left here on the floor." "Do you have any idea what I went through."

"To get this back.?" "My hands are aching the imprints are everywhere."

"I'm telling you this and you can't even bare to look in my direction."

"I'm so sick of you." "Promise after promise." "Day after day."

"You will say anything to get me to trust you and believe in you."

"For what.?" Quinn said her voice breaking. As she continued. "Take it." She said. Throwing the object across the room.

"You have broken my heart every single day." "And yet like an idiot I still wait for you." "That little girl that used to cling to every random visit and late birthday is gone." "Goodbye dad."

Quinn said. Wiping her eyes.

Hearing applause as she faced them again.

"Wow." "We really felt everything you said."

"You got the part Quinn."

The woman said.

"Thank you."

Quinn said excitedly as she raced out of the room. And down the stairs.

Getting into her car as she got out her phone. Quickly going into her contacts.

Clinking on the number as it rang. While she put it to her ear. The other person picking up right away.

"How did it go Quinn.?" Serena asked excitedly.

"I got it mom." Quinn said happily.

"I'm so happy for you." I cannot wait to see you." Go celebrate."

"I'm so proud." "I love you so much."

Serena said.

"Thank you mommy." "I love you too."

"I'm going to call everyone."

"Thank you for your support and believing in me."

Quinn said softly.

"I always have and always will my support is a given."

Serena said.

"I'll let you go now mom."

Quinn said as she hung up.

Serena smiled will she hung up the phone.

Looking up at the other person who was across from her.

"Dan." She said softly. His eyes looking back up at her.

"You're hurting right now." "And vulnerable."

"I know how easy it is to go back to what's comforting and familiar."

Serena said. Touching his face with her hand.

They're eyes locked on each other.

Dan put his hand on hers.

"She loves him I confronted her about it."

"She did everything but deny it."

"I should have known."

"Blair and Chuck."

Dan said. Looking away.

"She is the one losing here."

"At least now you know."

"So you can move on."

Serena said to him.

"Let's just chalk up that night to wanting to make each other feel better."

Serena said. Looking back at him.

"It was more than that though."

Dan said to her. Taking his hand in hers.

"You can stay here until you figure out what you're going to do."

Serena said. Taking her hand from his.

Leaning over as she kissed his cheek. And walked into her room.

Sighing as she went into her drawer and then to the bathroom.

She never let herself think about their last night together because of the sting it left.

Serena had moved on. And last she heard he had moved away too.

Something about needing a change of pace and fresh start. At least that was what she had heard.

Looking at the clock on her phone the time had passed. The results were in.

It was true she was pregnant.
