I'm so sorry I haven't posted a new chapter, I've been pretty busy. Today it's Quinn's POV. This chapter will have a memory. I will also be introducing another character. Enjoy (:

Chapter 10 – Sing

Quinn was walking to her car, unable to think straight.

Did I really just do that? Did I just kiss Rachel? I mean I don't regret it, but did it really happen. She thought as she pinched herself.

Crap it was real

She fumbled with her keys but finally got into her car. She felt different for some reason, as she sat down in front of the wheel. Her car looked different to her for some reason, it was still that bright red beetle, but it had a glow to it. She then looked outside her window and looked up to the sky, and again she saw it differently. The sky was a beautiful blue, the sun was bright, and the clouds were wonderfully big and fluffy. Quinn loved how the sky looked. She finally put her key into the ignition and turned on her car, with that the radio turned on and the song "I Kissed a Girl" came on. Quinn couldn't help but laugh and remember when she and Rachel were singing along. She sighed a happy sigh and rolled her eyes trying to get rid of this dopey smile she had on her face, she finally put her car in reverse and got out of the little space she was parked in.

Quinn was driving, but she wasn't sure where she wanted to go exactly, she most definitely did not want to go back to school. She began to think about going to the beach, Lima Bean, park, but then she thought of the best place that carried a very important memory of hers. She looked down at her hand and looked at her ring; she couldn't help but smile even wider.

She finally found a parking space, which was easy because it was a school day. She got out of her car and began walking to the town square. She looked around and saw all the little boutiques, restaurants, and of course the little stage in the center.

Quinn went to go visit Rachel after Cheerio's practice. She was so confused and wanted to see why Rachel wanted to suddenly go to Carmel. Rachel let her in.

"What the hell Rach?" Quinn said loudly

"Quinn, please. I understand you're angry but please let me explain" Rachel said softly.

Quinn always secretly loved how Rachel could keep her cool in situations, it made her melt.

Quinn nodded and let her speak.

"Let's go up to my room, I was in the middle of writing a list." Rachel said grabbing Quinn's hand.

List?

Quinn followed. Rachel was right behind her and couldn't help but admire how graceful Rachel was. She watched her legs and saw how the muscle flexed and relaxed as she walked up the stairs.

Her morning workout is working very well. Quinn thought with a grin.

"What?" Rachel said as she turned facing her.

"You have amazing legs" Quinn said still eyeing her legs but then looked up to see Rachel's reaction. She simply smiled and her cheeks turned slightly pink, she turned to open the door. Anything Rachel did, could make Quinn forget why she was ever angry or hurt.

"Quinn, I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Carmel. I haven't exactly decided yet though. I'm still in the process of deciding." Quinn nodded as she sat on Rachel's bed and watched as Rachel opened her laptop and sat in front of it. Rachel turned and faced her realizing Quinn hadn't responded.

"I… uh… sorry Rach. I forgive you" Quinn stammered.

Rachel smiled. "Well if you look at my list, you'll see there are more cons than pros about going to Carmel" she said pointing towards the computer screen. Quinn got up and looked at the screen, it was neatly made. It was titled 'Pro/Con's for attending Carmel High' it was in a cute cursive font. The list was separated into two. She quickly began reading.

Pros:

Vocal Adrenaline

Holds a legacy

Cons:

No Quinn

I may not be the star

I won't be able to see Quinn everyday

No Quinn

"I wrote 'no Quinn' twice because that's what my main concern is" Rachel said smiling at the floor.

"Rach, I love you" Quinn said walking towards Rachel. She cupped Rachel's face in her hand and kissed her on her forehead, nose, each cheek and lastly her lips. Rachel was blushing. Quinn couldn't help but smile seeing her girlfriend like this.

"Quinn, I want to know what you think. Should I go to Carmel?"

"I can't answer that for you. What I can say is if you go to Carmel High, McKinley would miss out on a future Broadway legend"

Rachel smiled huge; Quinn secretly hoped she would choose McKinley.

"Rach" Quinn said reaching out for Rachel's hands "Let's go."

"Where?" Rachel looked puzzled. Her eyes moving everywhere and her lips slightly parted. Quinn thought she looked beautiful.

"It's a surprise. Please?" Quinn said pulling on Rachel's arm. Rachel nodded and they headed out the door of her room. They reached for the door and it opened and it was Rachel's dads.

"Hi Mr. Berr- Leroy. Hiram" Quinn said quickly.

"Quinn and I are going somewhere. She won't tell me where, I guess that is her way of being romantic" Rachel said staring at Quinn.

"Well…" Quinn began but Leroy interrupted, "I think it is absolutely romantic" he said.

Quinn smiled, "Now you two have fun" Hiram added.

Both girls smiled and headed towards Quinn car. The whole ride Rachel kept questioning Quinn. It was obvious to Quinn: Rachel hated surprises.

Quinn decided to teas her a bit and made Rachel cove her eyes, she kept turning to confuse the girl, little did Rachel know Quinn was only turning in a parking lot. She parked and turned off the car.

"Can I look yet?" Rachel said pouting.

Quinn leaned in and kissed her and whispered "nope"

Rachel pouted some more. Quinn exited the car and ran to Rachel's side and opened the door and pulled her out. They began walking and Quinn felt it was time to uncover her eyes. Rachel uncovered her eyes.

"Oh my… I actually haven't been here." Rachel said looking around.

"When I first moved here my mom brought me here and we shopped" Quinn said smiling pointing at the boutiques. "But there was this amazing restaurant here, I want to take you there" Quinn smiled.

Rachel returned the smile, "You do know I'm vegan right?" Quinn laughed.

"Of course I know! Anyways before we eat, I think you should perform here" Quinn said turning Rachel to face the stage in the center. Rachel looked at her and took it as a challenge.

"I will" Rachel said walking to the stage. She watched Rachel talk to a guitarist sitting by the stage, they both soon got up.

"Excuse me!" Rachel first yelled, no one turned to look. "EXCUSE ME!" Rachel said using her theater voice. Everyone turned to look at her.

"Hello, I'm Rachel Berry. I'm going to perform this song for someone that is very special to me" she said staring directly at Quinn.

The guitarist began playing; Quinn knew this song perfectly and couldn't help but smile. Rachel began singing, which blew everyone away…

And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times

It's you, it's you, you make me sing.

You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,

And you light me up, when you ring my bell.

You're a mystery, you're from outer space,

You're every minute of my everyday.

And I can't believe, uh that I'm your man,

And I get to kiss you baby just because I can.

Whatever comes our way, ah we'll see it through,

And you know that's what our love can do.

Rachel kept eye contact with Quinn the whole time, like every line she sang was to her, which really was. She finally finished and everyone applauded. Rachel hopped off stage and walked up to Quinn and planted the biggest kiss on her. Quinn felt her world stop at that instant.

Quinn stared at the stage and walked up to it and sat on it. She began to look around and saw the same exact guitarist that was there over the summer. She was pleasantly surprised when he looked at her and smiled.

"Hey your girlfriend was that little brunette that sang that Buble song right?"

Quinn smiled. "Well she touched me when she sang it, I never knew someone that small had a voice like that" he said smiling "Can you sing?"

"A bit"

"Well get up, I'll play whatever song you want me to play"

Quinn smiled but shook her head. I'm no Rachel Berry

"I can't sing like the brunette."

"That's fine, I'm sure you could still sing"

Quinn took it as a challenge "Fine"

She told the guy and called Rachel.

Q: Hey

R: Hi Quinn. I'm pleasantly surprised you called.

Q: Can you please just listen?

R: Sure

Quinn looked at the guy and nodded. He began playing.

But you're so hypnotizing

You got me laughing while I sing

You've got me smiling in my sleep

And I can see this unraveling

Your love is where I'm falling

But please don't catch me

Quinn finished singing and a tear slid down her cheek and she grabbed the phone whispered 'I love you' and hung up.

"That was pretty good" the guitarist said.

Quinn looked around, she thought the guy looked familiar, not because of the summer, but because of school.

"Noah Puckerman?"

"Took you long enough blondie"

Quinn's heart started racing. He knows!

"You're not going to uh… tell anybody right?"

"Nah, it's good you found yourself someone. Why would I kill it?"

Quinn sighed of relief. "Why aren't you at school?" Puck said.

"I was about to ask you the same thing."

"I got a badass rep to keep up don't I? Ditching is what adds to my badass-ness"

Quinn nodded.
