Sorry about the long time between updates, I just couldn't get motivated. I finally decided to write this so I hope it turns out good!
Quinn Fabray could feel herself losing Finn. It was a new, unpleasant feeling to her. She never lost anything that was hers without her permission. Yes, she had lost her virginity to Puck, but she had agreed even though alcohol was in the picture.
Ever since Santana had sang that damn song, Finn seemed to be talking more and more to her. Even on their date nights, Finn would be texting Santana. Talk about a self esteem killer.
What did Santana have that Quinn didn't? Quinn actually had some self respect; she wasn't a total bitch to everyone anymore. Well, of course Santana suddenly wasn't either. Maybe it was time for Quinn to quit the cheerios and focus more on Finn. After all, the Cheerio's was Quinn's whole day.
Sue seemed to be set on the fact that the Cheerio's would not win unless they practiced 30 hours a week. Quinn laughed at the thought of it, 30 hours a week for High School cheerleading. Finn didn't even work 30 hours a week at his job, yet she was practicing for sometimes more than that.
Maybe the reason that Finn and Santana were growing so close to each other was the fact that they actually got to hang out. Finn and Quinn were lucky to see each other twice a week outside of school. All of that time while Quinn was off practicing, Finn and Santana were probably growing closer and closer.
Quinn decided right then and there, as she saw Finn walk into Glee with Santana, that it was time to quit the Cheerio's. Quinn honestly didn't care what Sue thought anymore, it was time to set her priorities straight.
"Coach Sylvester," Quinn confidently said as she walked into her office, "We need to talk."
Sue slowly looked up from what looked like a diary, "What do you want Q? And why are you not wearing your cheerio uniform?" She asked as she took off her glasses.
Quinn took a deep breath, "I quit." She simply told her as she took her uniform and laid it on the chair across from the desk.
Sue raised an eyebrow as she looked at her head Cheerio, well former head Cheerio. "What are you talking about Q? Why would you ever even conceive the thought of quitting?"
"Because I have more important things than Cheerios, I can't waste my whole High School career practicing. I have other things to do." Quinn told her in her best attempt at a stern voice to the most feared Coach in the whole Midwest.
"What on earth could that be?" Sue scoffed at her.
"Um, I don't know." Quinn sarcastically said, "My academics, my family, my boyfriend. You know, life?"
Sue stared at her now former head cheerleader, "Get out of my office, come back tomorrow and maybe I'll keep you as my head Cheerio."
"Don't you get it?" Quinn sneered at Sue, "I quit. I'm done. I'm not coming back, you can find a new head cheerleader. I don't want to be apart of this anymore. I want to live my life and actually do something worth while. Brittany can be your new head cheerleader, I don't care anymore."
"And to think I once saw a young Sue Sylvester in you." Sue said with venom in her voice.
"Well looks like you saw wrong." Quinn told her as she turned on her heel and walked confidently out of her office.
Step one of her plan was done, now onto step two; winning Finn back.
"Quinn, why aren't you in your Cheerio uniform?" Rachel asked as Quinn slowly walked into the Glee room.
It was the first time Quinn had been in this room out of uniform since she had Beth.
Quinn took a deep breath, "Because I quit." She simply told them as she glared at Santana before taking a quick look at Finn who was smiling.
Maybe this was going to be easier than she originally thought.
Quinn slowly walked over to Finn where she sat next to him, "Hey." She almost inaudibly whispered to him.
"Um hey." Finn stammered refusing to make eye contact with her.
Quinn raised an eyebrow, "Is something wrong?" She asked him as he began to fiddle his thumbs together.
"Noth-" Finn yelled before quieting down, "Nothing."
Quinn began to get nervous, she knew that Finn was an awful liar and it was obvious he was lying right now. He was yelling, fidgeting like crazy, and his hands looked really sweaty.
"Finn." Quinn dragged out, "What are you not telling me?" She slowly asked him.
"What are you talking about?" Finn quickly said, "I tell you everything and you know that, I just don't see-"
"You're rambling." Quinn interrupted him, "Look just tell me."
Finn sighed, "I'll tell you after Glee." He finally told her as he looked down at his feet.
Quinn's mind was racing the whole class. She just couldn't concentrate on Glee. Its not that she didn't care, it was just that whatever Finn was hiding was more important. What could it be though?
"Quinn, what do you think?" Mr. Schuester asked as Quinn snapped back into reality.
"Um, sorry," Quinn quickly replied, "About what?"
"About trying a Santana and Finn duet?" Mr. Schuester repeated, resulting in Quinn's jaw dropping.
Quinn quickly shook her head, "I don't like it."
Mr. Schuester raised an eyebrow, "Why's that?"
"Because," Quinn began as she racked her brain for any excuse of why they shouldn't sing together, "Their voices don't mesh well." She finally blurted out.
"Really?" Rachel asked from the front of the room, "I think that they would sound absolutely excellent together!"
Quinn rolled her eyes, whatever happened to that new friendship they had established? Quinn sighed as Mr. Schuester announced that Finn and Santana would be singing a duet for the Glee club's opening night.
"Alright well, I'll see you guys on Monday," Mr. Schuester happily said as he began to put papers into his bag, "Have a good weekend!" He said with a smile.
As everyone else got up and began talking about what they were doing this weekend, Quinn remained in her seat next to Finn as he began to wildly twitch again. Rachel finally walked out of the room with Puck, not before casting Quinn a concerned look though.
Quinn turned herself in her seat to face Finn, "What's wrong?" She asked Finn as they were now alone in the room.
Finn closed his eyes and scrunched his face in thought as he refused to make eye contact with Quinn.
"Finn, look at me and tell me." Quinn nearly demanded, "Please."
Finn slowly opened his eyes, he still wouldn't look at Quinn as he began to talk, "Quinn, I messed up."
Quinn's breath hitched a bit as she heard Finn say that, "Finn, please look at me and tell me."
Nodding, Finn slowly turned to look at Quinn. She could see tears forming in his eyes, "I-I think we should break up." Finn blurted out.
Quinn felt a lump form in her throat as Finn said those six words, "W-why?" She finally managed as tears of her own began to form.
As Finn began to ramble on about football and cheerios Quinn felt her world began to crumble around her. She had worked so hard to get Finn back, and now all of that was just crashing around her.
"F-Finn, just tell me why." Quinn finally told him as he stopped rambling.
Finn took a deep breath, "I kissed Santana. I am really, really sorry Quinn." He told her looking away.
Quinn closed her eyes tightly as a tear escaped down her cheek. She shook her head as Finn put his hand on her shoulder.
"N-no, Finn." Quinn stammered as she stood up, "I guess I just wasn't good enough."
"Quinn, wait." Finn said as he stood up, taking a step towards her.
"No Finn. Save it." Quinn told him as she did her best to hold her tears back, "Go run off with Santana. If that's what you really want." She told him as she turned to run out of the room, the tears falling freely now.
Finn sighed as he collapsed into the nearest chair. Great, he thought to himself, How am I supposed to fix this?
Phew, that chapter was tough to write! I hated breaking Finn and Quinn up, but it had to happen for the story. So please stay with me! Reviews are fantastic as usual!
