Spencer POV

"I don't get you at all, Smarty Pants. Why would you want this moron over anybody else?" Santana asks from the back seat, effectively breaking the tense silence that filled the car before we even left Lima.

"Seriously?" Puck asks. Santana rolls her eyes but keeps silent. Just as we turn into the freeway, my phone beeps three times. The first one is from Hanna, the second from Caleb ans the third from Emily.

YOURE BEING STUPID!

I YOURE BEING STUPID! - Hanna

YOURE BEING STUPID! - Hanna

I roll my eyes at her messages. I'm surprised she hasn't sent me the same message from Quinn's phone. I think of something to say in response, but before I even come up with something, my phone buzzes again.

Yup! There it is. I spoke too soon. The same words were glaring at me under Quinn's name.

YOURE BEING STUPID! - Hanna

Emily POV

I watched from the rearview mirror as Hanna smirked evilly as she types on Quinn's phone.

"You're just provoking Spence, Han." I say warningly as she hands Quinn both of our phones.

"What? I'm just trying to make her see how stupid this all is. Toby's a great guy, and he doesn't deserve to get cheated on."

"We can only do so much though." Quinn says. "Spencer and Puck are both old enough to decide for themselves."

"Toby has an idea that something isn't right, you know?" Caleb interjects from his seat. "The mere fact that Ezra and I were getting in the same car, without any of you girls in town was enough for him to ask questions."

"How did he end up coming with you guys anyway?" I ask my friend's boyfriend seriously.

"Ezra and I were meeting at the Brew. I had coffee while waiting for The Fitz. He saw my bag and asked where I was going. I wasn't aware that he was purposely not invited," he pauses, glancing at Hanna "So I told him we were going to follow you girls. When he realized he was the only one who was out of the loop, he decided to come saying he wanted surprise Spencer after not having time with each other for so long."

"Since when do you call Ezra 'The Fitz' ?" Hanna asks.

"Not the point, babe." Caleb says, chuckling before looking at me through the rear view mirror. "Tell me when you wanna switch."

I nod and reach over to Quinn's hand, intertwining my fingers with hers.

"THIS CAR RIDE SUCKS. WHY DO I HAVE TO GET STUCK WITH SMARTYPANTS AND FERTILEPANTS?" Hanna laughs, reading Santana's message to her.

"Fertilepants?" Caleb asks confused, and seemingly concerned for Santana's mental health.

"Puck and I had a child a little more than a year ago. We gave her away." Quinn says shyly to Caleb.

"Oh." He says, surprised. "Did you atleast make sure your kid was adopted? Foster Homes can be a bitch." He adds with a grimace.

"Um yeah, Rachel's mom adopted her." Quinn says quietly. "Puck was my then boyfriend's best friend. Betraying someone or helping someone betray someone else was the worst feeling in th world. I do not understand why Puck would let himself go through that again."

"Maybe you could talk to Spencer, Quinn. Tell her how it felt like... After cheating."

"Han!" I say, whipping my head towars the blonde, glaring at her.

"What?"

"That was out of line!" I say, turning back around to face the road.

"It's alright, babe." I hear Quinn say. "Hanna has a point. That might work."

"See?!" Hanna gloats, smirking at me.

"Baby, you know how you feel about taliking about those things again." I plead to my girlfriend in prostest.

"But I could be a cautionary tale for Spencer." She tries to reason with me.

"We don't want you doing anything uncomfortable for you though, Quinn." Caleb says.

"Don't worry." Quinn says. "I'm all for helping Spencer and Puck sort this through."

I lean over to give her a kiss on the cheek, sighing at my girlfriend's decision to pick at the scabs that have yet to fully heal.

"If you're sure."

"I am. We just need to think of a way to get through Puck. And maybe you? Yeah. It's just could come with me when I talk to Spencer?" Quinn asks.

"She'd take it the wrong way if one of us was there." Hanna says, rolling her eyes. "Spencer's more stubborn than you and Em combined, Quinn."

Quinn shrugs as she diverts her attention to her phone which beeped a couple of times. Her face turns into a small frown before it contorts into a mask of indefference

"You alright, Q?" I ask, glancing at my girlfriend. "Is something wrong?"

"That was Kurt." She explains, as she types on her phone. "He said: Driving home from Rachel's with Finn and Mercedes. We passed by your house. What are you doing inside your car in the dark?"

Quinn POV

Not in Lima right now. Driving to Rosewood with Puck, Sam, San and Britt. Using San's car.

I type, before reading Kurt's message aloud.

"This has A written all over it." Hanna says angrily, while Emily struggles to keep her eyes on the road.

"Ask them to turn back around and check, babe." Em tells me worriedly.

Can you turn around and see if there really was someone in the car? :-/ Could be the seats? And could you check on my mom as well? Thanks Kurt!

Nope. Definitely a person. Turned back around, Finn blinked his lights at your car. Someone just came running out of it. We didn't see who though. Wearing dark clothes. Whoever it was runs really fast too. Didn't even see where they went. Finn's talking to your mom now.

"Someone in dark clothes came running out of the car, apparently." I say to my friends in the car. "They didn't even see where it went."

"And your mom?" Caleb asks as he puts an arm around Hanna.

"Finn and Kurt are currently explaining to her what they saw. What would A want in my car?"

"It's not what's in your car, but what A put in there." My girlfriend says seriously. "It could be something to scare you with."

"So what do we do?" Hanna asks, irritated.

"Nothing." I say, earning weird looks from the other three in the car. "We'll deal with A tomorrow. We don't even know if it was actually A. It could be some random thief."

"I hope so." Emily says with a dry chuckle. "I'd love to see the day we'd stop hoping it was some other normal criminal instead of a psycho stalker."

Nobody even says anything after Em's statement. The rest of the ride was filled with awkward small talk, and a stopover halfway through, so that Caleb could drive while Em and I crawl to the backseat. It doesn't take long for me to fall asleep with my head on Emily's, which was resting on my shoulder.

I snap my eyes awake when I hear a series of car door slams. Emily also stirs awake as I stretch a little.

"Already?" She whines. "You can't leave yet."

I giggle as we exit the car.

"Of course not. You're still making us some cofee." I tease.

"Oh you guys should have some before you go back." She says, pulling me towards her front door motioning everybody else to follow her inside.

"Oh Em, we should get going." Aria says as she moves from leaning on Ezra's car. "Ezra's driving everybody else home, and I have a curfew so..."

"So we drove her to bring you home? I thought we were still going to hangout?" Brittany asks. "I like you Rosewood people too much to let you go." She says sweetly.

"We're going to your stupid competition thing. No need to get all needy" Hanna grumbles, earning a punch from Santana.

"We have to get going anyway, Britt." Sam says to the third blonde in our group.

"I'm down for some hanging out." Comments Puck, glancing at Spencer.

"I'll stay to hang out with you guys for a while." Spencer volunteers. "I can walk home."

"I'll drive you, just come get me when you're ready to go." Toby says, kissing Spencer's cheek before waving goodbye at us and walking towards the house next to Emily's.

Nobody but Toby misses the grimace that paints Spencer's face as he walks away. There is an awkward silence before Aria breaks it.

"We should really be going though." Aria says. "Han. You and Caleb ready to go?" The two nod and get their recently unloaded bags into Ezra's trunk. Hugs and promises of seeing each other soon momentarily filled the air as the rest of us started making our way towards the house.

I walk slowly, hanging at the end of the group.

"Hey Spencer?" I call out just as before she crosses the treshold.

"Yeah?"

"I need to talk to you about something. Would it be alright for you to stay here outside for a bit?"

She shrugs and nods, walking back out of the house. Emily gives me a look before closing the door behind her.

"So..."
