Chapter 14: Especially Now!

Puck P.O.V.

I was going to sign-up for the Marines, I had all the necessary papers with me and I was ready to go. I had gotten a physical and I had been tested for some things. When I went to my truck parked on the street, Quinn was leaning against it. "You gonna try to stop me?" I asked, eyebrow raised as I walked up to my girlfriend.

"Yes." Quinn said with a bitter expression.

We weren't on the best terms at the moment and as I opened her door, she gave me a scowl. I smirked back at her and got into my truck. "You can't stop me." I told her seriously.

Quinn stayed silent for a long time before saying, "You don't have to do this. There are so many other ways to make me proud of you. So, I looked into it. How about a police officer or firefighter?"

"I don't know." I shrugged.

"Or even the Coast Guard, it's at least a bit safer than the freaking Marines, Puck!" Quinn exasperatedly explained.

I stared at her, "Which would make you prouder, a Marine or a freaking policeman? A Marine! See, I have to make you proud of me."

"I am compromising, now, how about you try something that I recommended, preferably not the Coast Guard, and if you don't like it after say, three years, you can go be a Marine." Quinn explained, placing a soft hand on my arm.

I thought it over, "Being a Marine is so noble though!"

"Firefighters save lives, you never said anything about that occupation!" Quinn told me quietly.

"I guess they do, but, I don't know; I did have my heart set on the Marines. Finn's going into the Army." I told her.

"Yes, and that's such a stupid idea, Finn is stupid. He could get himself killed! He doesn't know what he's getting into." Quinn said.

Puck sighed, "I'll try something else, for you." I pulled my truck over on the side of the road.

"Really?" Quinn asked, shocked and surprised.

"Yeah, I love you, so, so much. And, I want to make you as happy as I can! I'll try to be a firefighter, I think I'd maybe like that." I nodded, taking Quinn's cold hand.

Quinn smiled widely, "I love you too, especially now. And I thank you a bazillion times for compromising with me! That makes me very, very happy."

I grinned, then I leant in and kissed my blonde girlfriend. I slipped a hand into her short hair and wrapped my other arm around her waist. Quinn smiled against the badass's lips, the badass being me, and tugged at my Mohawk absentmindedly. It felt right and the we didn't want to leave that moment.

"Want me to help you start packing for New Haven?" Quinn smiled.

I nodded, "Yeah, I need a 'New Haven appropriate' wardrobe."

Quinn laughed, "I kinda like your style. I love my badass."

I smiled and Quinn snuggled into my side before I started driving again; when we got back she gave me a quick peck before hopping out of the truck and heading towards my house. I chased her inside and we got to work on packing my bags.

"You ready to go?" Quinn asked three weeks later as we loaded our cars with stuff. Mrs. Fabray and my mom and my little sister were heading up too to get us all settled in.

"As ready as I'll ever be." I answered honestly, pulling my sweatshirt over my head.

Quinn smiled and we headed toward the driveway. Mrs. Fabray was driving Quinn's car up and the Puckerman women were driving with Mrs. Fabray. Quinn looked up at me and whispered, "Thank you."

I smiled, "For what?"

"For taking this journey with me. I need you with me; I need someone I love with me." Quinn told me, grabbing my hand and squeezing.

"I couldn't imagine doing anything else." I told her, kissing her passionately before opening her door for her and then jumping into the driver's seat.

This was going to be a journey for the two of us together; there'd be hardships, fights, and love. We were ready because we had taken a very, very long road to get there. A road that had many, many bumps along it.

Ok, so a little short, but the epilogue should satisfy! Thank you for sticking with me, even with this very spotty updating! I really hope you enjoyed this chapter!

Please review, it'll make me want to try to update faster!
