In The End Chapter 21, a glee fanfic

Thank you guys for the great reviews! Hope you guys like this chapter.

The next morning at school, Artie continued to read over his song for Sectionals. A few of his teachers kept taking it from him because he was distracting them. Artie wheeled himself into his History class where he found Brittany and Quinn talking. He sat down in the front and looked back.

"Wait…Quinn's talking to Brittany? I thought Quinn hated her now." Artie said in his head.

Their teacher walked in and sat down. The bell finally rand and everyone fell silent. After a few minutes of silence, their teacher stood up and started talking. He put note after note on the board. Artie wasn't really feeling like taking notes right then, so he pulled out his sheet music and continued to memorize the lyrics. In the back, Brittany and Quinn were talking.

"So you're not mad at me anymore?" Brittany asked.

"No, I just wish you wouldn't cheat on Artie like that. He's a sweet boy and doesn't deserve that." Quinn said, looking at the board.

"I know. I don't know what happened. Santana just…well she's just being herself, I guess." Brittany said, doodling in her notebook.

"Yeah, sadly that's the truth. You know, you don't need to be friends with her. Brittany, she's pulling you down and restricting you from being you." Quinn said as she turned and looked at her.

"I can't help it. She's always there for me when I need someone. It'll be hard without her." Brittany admitted.

"I'll be there for you. I mean, I've always tried, but it seems like you keep pushing me away." Quinn said.

"I don't try to. It's Santana's fault. I want you to be there. You and Artie are the only ones who don't think I'm dumb or oblivious to anything." Brittany said as she continued to doodle.

"Aw, Brit. No one thinks you're dumb. If they do, I'd beat the shit out of them." Quinn said as their teacher looked over at them.

"Quinn and Brittany, do I need to move you two?" Their teacher asked.

"No sir." They said in unison.

"Good, then be quiet so the people who want to be here can learn." He said as he went back to writing down notes on the board.

Brittany and Quinn continued to whisper to each other throughout class until the bell rang for lunch. Once again, Brittany sat with Santana while Quinn sat with Artie and the others.

"I can't believe it." Quinn said under her breath.

"So Quinn, what were you and Brittany talking about today in History?" Artie said, wheeling himself towards the table with his food on his lap.

"Oh, nothing. She needed a pencil." Quinn said as her cheeks blushed.

"Right. Come on, Quinn. You can tell me." Artie said with a smile.

"It's nothing. But can I talk to you about something?" Quinn asked as she turned and looked at Artie.

"Sure, what's up?" Artie asked.

"In private." Quinn said back as she stood up and pushed Artie out of the cafeteria.

She pushed him down the hallway and into the auditorium. Artie didn't try to ask where they were going; he was more worried about what she wanted to tell him. Quinn pushed him up the ramp and onto the auditorium stage.

"So what did you want to talk to me about?" Artie asked, looking around the dark stage.

With no answer, Quinn's lips touched his. Catching him off guard, she sat on his lap. Artie kept thinking about whether or not he should fight it. Quinn continued to kiss him for what seemed like hours, until she finally pulled away and looked at him.

"That's for everything you've done for me." Quinn said with a smile as she stood up.

"What the Hell? Is every girl at William McKinley a cheater?" Artie asked in his head.

"Oh…um…it's the least I can do after what you've done for me and Brittany." Artie said, trying to smile.

"So cute. I wish all guys could be as sweet as you." Quinn said as she hugged Artie.

"Well, what can I say? I'm 1 in a million." Artie said with a laugh.

"Finn needs to be like you." Quinn said with a smile as she leaned in for another kiss.

Artie didn't fight it again, mostly because he didn't know how to. She continued to kiss him as the bell rang. Quinn happily pushed Artie to Glee where Artie was going to rap his song for Sectionals.

"Alright class. Sectionals are in 2 days. We sound great, but we need to step it up if we're going to win. Artie, you're up. Let's hear what you got." Mr. Shuester said as he took a seat.

Artie and the guys walked up to the front and turned around.

Guys

Well it was just a dream
Just a moment ago
I was up so high
Looking down at the sky
Don't let me fall
I was shooting for stars
On a Saturday night
They say what goes up
Must come down
But don't let me fall
Don't let me fall
Don't let me fall
They say what goes up
Must come down
But don't let me fall
Don't let me fall

Artie

Cause I'm gliding up there oh so very high
That if the clouds were to drop me
Then I'd fall out the sky
I don't really know why I'm here
I guess I'm just here for the ride
I swear, it feels like I'm dreaming
It's vividly defined, yeah
So call me whatever you want
Tie me to whatever you like
But let's get one thing straight
You know my name, so I run this town
When I'm on this mic, yeah
So here I go, A.r.t, Artie A.
I don't know, need I know
But I know, that I float
Rack 'em up, knock 'em down, dominoes
Then I go, as my story goes
I don't mind, I've been down here before
Product of my east-decatur home
Cause I was in the cold
Trying to keep my toes unfroze
Now I'm in your house
Now I'm in your stove
Now I'm everywhere that your I-pod go
Everything I seen was a dream just a moment ago

Guys

Artie

Yeah, but for once
No one made that pavement is
Cause there ain't no parachute
That they can make for this
Cause I put my pain, my heart
My soul, my faith in this
Does anyone feel like how I feel?
Then you can relate to this
I just blazed with this
Maybe roll one up then take a hit
Toast to the good life then take a sip
Vacay everyday, yeah take a trip
It's easy to see I was made for this
From the womb all the way to the grave, I spit
Show y'all people what greatness is
Yeah, I'm talking very Lucy like making movies
To picture my life boy
You need a higher resolution
I used to cut class in day
Then runaway at night
But now I'm ruler of the upper class
I don't even write

Guys

The boys finished singing and everyone clapped. Quinn and Brittany smiled at Artie, which scared him a little. Mr. Shuester stood up and yelled with excitement.

"That was awesome guys! Now, we're ready for Sectionals." He said as he high-fived the guys.

Hope you guys liked this chapter. Reviews are always perfect.
