Finale time!

Thank you to everyone reading, it truly is awesome that you enjoy this story so much...

Quinn watched as her boyfriend pulled away from Rachel before he pushed passed her and continued on to his vehicle.

Rachel looked toward Quinn and Finn after a moment and reached up and touched her lips, "I-Quinn, I swear he kissed me."

"Shut up," Quinn said as she continued on behind Jesse, climbing inside the vehicle before he could start it and drive away.

The boy just looked at her.

He looked a little heartbroken.

Though to her, it seemed like there was a little more.

"W-what did you do?" Rachel questioned as she stepped over to her ex.

"I love her." Finn said staring off toward Jesse's car. They were both watching the two inside.

Rachel eyed him a moment before saying, "but she ran after him."

Finn nodded as he stepped down from the porch and took a seat on one of the stairs. "I know," he sighed.

They had been sitting there for a little over five minutes; neither of them had said a word.

Quinn reached up and scratched her head as she tried to sort out her thoughts. Thinking about it she kind of realized that throughout this month of dating she had never really finished her twenty questions. Yeah, she may have asked quite a few questions as their relationship progressed, but she never acknowledged the fact that they were questions to their game. "Nineteen," she whispered.

Jesse glanced at her.

"Do you know how sorry I am?" She wondered.

And the boy rolled his eyes because seriously, was this all just a game to her?

Quinn shrugged sheepishly, "humor me." She sighed, "please."

And to the boy she did look guilty; she looked guilty and hurt, maybe a little confused, "you seem it." He said.

And she agreed, "I am, terribly so." After a moment she turned to face him fully, "it was stupid, this is stupid." She pointed out, "I am stupid, I-I feel for you Jesse. I love you, but I hurt. My heart hurts without Finn."

Jesse scoffed because this wasn't something he wanted to hear right now. He was Jesse st. James, breaker of hearts; he was never heartbroken.

"I'm not asking for you to forgive me, hell, I'm not even asking for you to understand. I'm just, I'm saying that it wouldn't be fair fro me to drag you along while I'm in love with Finn. I can't try to love you as much as I love him. It wouldn't be fair to either of us."

"What if he hurts you again?" Jesse wondered aloud.

And Quinn shrugged, "I know it's a risk, but with love it's always a risk." She reached out and grabbed his hand.

To her surprise; he didn't pull away.

"There's gotta be some reason that you kissed Rachel." She reasoned. "You wouldn't just do it out of spite. Not just to hurt me. Especially since you know how she feels about you."

Jesse nodded along.

"You're a good guy Jesse, but I just don't think you're the right guy for me."

"What do you think they're saying?" Finn asked. He was really wishing he knew how to read lips right now.

"They're making up." Rachel said, "Quinn's probably told him that she never wanted to kiss you and Jesse's said the same about me. To them we were props. They'll be over us soon. We'll just be a mistake, each their own."

Finn refused to believe that. He knew Quinn. He knew that kiss, it was real, it was amazing.

He knew Quinn.

"No," he shook his head, "no, Quinn loves me. That kiss was real, it was passionate."

And for her own sake; Rachel wished it was true, that would mean Jesse was available.

"I am a cheater." Quinn announced after quite some time of silence.

Jesse looked up from the radio dial he had been staring at.

"I am a cheater." She repeated, "just like my father. I don't wanna be." She was fumbling with her hands because it had felt too awkward holding Jesse's hand, she knew he was mad at her. "I try so hard not to be like my mother. She's an alcoholic who tries to hide behind the disguise of a recognizable Christian. In the end though, she's an alcoholic." She looked at her hands as she began to play with her class ring, "don't get me wrong though, my mother is a great person. She is a lovely woman so it wouldn't be terrible to end up like her, but I just-I wanna be different."

She paused looking at her boyfriend. It was surprising to see that he was really listening because all Quinn was doing was rambling. The words kind of flowed from her mouth, even if she had tried she was sure she couldn't stop them.

"I was trying so hard not to be her that I didn't even think about becoming my father." She laughed, "I didn't even see it coming."

Jesse still said nothing, he figured he should wait, let her get it all out, see if she was truly done talking before he spoke his opinion.

"I don't wanna be Russell Fabray, he's a terrible person, he never seems to do the right thing. And he lies, he's a compulsive liar." She sighed, "I don't wanna be Russell and I don't want to be Judy, I wanna be Quinn." She paused for a minute, "but I don't even know who Quinn is."

She was done, and this time it was Jesse who grabbed her hand because the fumbling fingers were just a little distracting, "you're not your father, so don't worry about that." She tried to object but he shook it off, "you may have cheated on Finn and then again on Sam but you didn't cheat on Puck, nor on Finn the second time around. You had your heart in the right place thinking about not cheating, doing the right thing...maybe this relationship was meant to end so quickly, it wasn't about trying to get over your ex, it was about finding who you truly are...I know who Quinn is, and I wish I could tell you, but you already know."

The blonde was a bit confused, "what the hell does that mean?" She whispered.

Jesse smiled because even if they were over; and he knew they were, he still couldn't help but think about how adorable she was, "you'll figure it out."

"But-"

"Hey, just look at it this way. It's like you trade off, you cheated on Finn with Puck, but when you and Puck started dating you didn't cheat on him. Sam came around after you and Puck broke up and you cheated on Sam with Finn. After you and Sam broke it off you dated Finn and you didn't cheat on him. He broke up with you and I'm next so you cheated on me with Finn...Finn's your now." He explained, "you see the pattern?"

"You're saying I won't cheat on Finn?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying, and since you won't cheat on Finn and he and Rachel have reached an understanding that they're better off as friends, you have a much better chance of surviving this relationship so you won't have another boyfriend to cheat on next."

And Quinn was laughing because that may have been the weirdest logic she had ever heard.

"This is bothering the hell out of me." Finn said as he stared at the people within the vehicle. Quinn was laughing.

She and Jesse were in the car and she was laughing, and as Finn sat there and watched Jesse started laughing too, "what the hell is going on?"

Rachel laid her head to rest on his arm as she too stared out to the vehicle, "I don't know." She whispered because she really didn't wanna believe what she had told him earlier.

It couldn't be true.

"Do you hate me?" Quinn asked after she had stopped laughing.

The curly haired boy looked at her, his eyes sparkling because they had been laughing a little too hard and he was about to cry, "number twenty?"

The girl nodded, "yeah, I wanna know."

He smiled, "no, I could never hate you."

"I can say this is much better than my previous break-up's," Quinn laughed.

"Yeah, how so?" Jesse asked.

Quinn smiled, "well Finn broke up with me kicking a chair and screaming I'm done with you, Puck broke up with me by ignoring me after I gave our baby away, so we never had an official break up, but it was there. Sam broke up with me by being with Santana before he actually let me know that we were over and Finn broke up with me again at a funeral telling me that I didn't feel anything."

He hadn't meant too but Jesse had started laughing.

His laughing made Quinn laugh, "shut up!" She said.

"I'm sorry," he told her, "I-just-" He couldn't even talk, it was just so damn funny. A bit unlucky.

"Did I not make it back in time?" Santana wondered as she stepped outside of the Fabray house.

Finn and Rachel stood up and turned around, looking at the Latina who was standing on the porch holding a beautiful red dress.

"What do you mean?" Rachel asked.

Finn however stated, "where'd you come from?"

Santana pointed behind her, "back door. I went home to get this dress for Q to wear on her date and...where is she? Are they already gone?"

Finn shook his head, "no," he stepped away allowing Santana a view to see Quinn and Jesse in the boy's car.

"What's going on?" she wondered

"Quinn kissed Finn after they sang a song together in her room, Jesse caught them and ran out here. Quinn ran after him, Finn ran after her when they stepped on the porch Jesse was kissing me then he pushed away and made his way to his car. Quinn followed. And now we're confused." The shorter girl explained.

Finn had nodded along with every word, "yeah."

Santana sighed, "well, what the hell?" She whispered before she pushed through the other two and made her way over to st. James' vehicle.

Finn and Rachel just stared at her bewildered.

"Santana?" Quinn wondered as she and Jesse climbed out of the car.

Santana had pounded on the door until the other two had made it clear that they were getting out.

"What the hell are you doing?" Santana sneered.

Quinn was a little shocked.

"You go through all these relationship's hoping that the right guy will come around and sweep you off of your feet being decent and accommodating, romantic and such and when you find him you cheat." She shook her head, "I told you, I-I, what are you doing?" The Latina said frustrated.

Quinn shook her head, she was about to say more but the other girl had erupted into Spanish and Quinn had no idea what she was saying.

It took three minutes for Quinn to get Santana to shut up and speak English.

"I went and got you the dress." Santana said.

Quinn nodded eyeing the dress, "and it is a beautiful dress." She said.

Santana sighed, "I want you to be happy, Quinn, you mean everything to me."

It was a rare moment of truth for the other girl, and Quinn was aware.

The blonde smiled, cupping her friend's face, "I love you, San." She said, "and I am so, so grateful that I have you as a friend, that I have someone who cares about me as much as you do. I am happy. " She told her, "I am truly happy."

Santana looked at Jesse, the boy was smiling because he was witnessing true friendship.

Before looking back to Quinn Santana said, "thank you," to Jesse.

And he understood; she was thanking him for being good to Quinn, to keeping his word and not hurting her.

"I can't fight how I feel anymore," Quinn said looking over Santana's shoulder a moment and seeing Finn staring at them confused, and worried; maybe a little hurt. Her eyes then connected with Santana's again as she said, "Jesse and I were great together, you can't deny the chemistry. He is an amazing guy, however, I'm in love with Finn and we have also established the fact that he is still in love with Rachel." She smiled, "the heart wants what the heart wants."

Santana rolled her eyes as she nodded along, "yeah, yeah, yeah." She then held up the article of clothing she was still holding, "but I got you the dress."

Quinn laughed, "let Rachel wear it." She told her, "Jesse's gonna ask her to go with him and what she's wearing right now is so...ugly." She couldn't think of a better word.

Santana looked behind them sighing, "I can't let the hobbit wear my clothes that's just-"

"Santana." Quinn smiled.

"Oh, fine."

Finn and Rachel waited as the anticipation was beginning to get the best of them, the other three were walking toward them now, but it all seemed to be moving too slow.

"If she's with him I think I'm gonna die." Finn whispered.

Rachel eyed him a moment before looking out toward Jesse.

"I shouldn't have kissed you." Jesse said as they stepped up to them.

Rachel's face fell and with it Finn's heart sank, that had to be bad news.

Jesse reached out cupping Rachel's face, "I shouldn't have kissed you because I haven't taken you out yet. It's always better to kiss after a date."

Rachel smiled, "what do you mean?"

Finn didn't care what he meant, he looked at Quinn.

The blonde grabbed his hand pulling him away from the group, "I've thought about it a lot." She told him.

And he nodded along, he didn't want the big speech he knew was coming, he just wanted to know how she felt, but it was Quinn and he would wait a million years to get his answer if he had too.

"I've thought about it all the time." Quinn said, "and I just now realized why I always run back to you, and it's not because you're my first love." She stepped closer to stand right in front of him, "it's because you're my true love."

Finn smiled as he brushed the hair away from her face. This was what he wanted to hear.

However, when he bent down to kiss her she stepped away. He was confused, "Qu-"

"I can't have you hurt me again." She whispered. "I won't survive. "

Finn shook his head, "I'm not-" He stopped, "I love you."

"Then don't break my heart." She demanded.

And he took that one step toward her, grabbing her lovingly and kissing her hard.

So, I hope it was worth the wait, I'd appreciate you telling me how it turned out...

...Quick thank you to all of you who read it, I greatly appreciate it and I hope the ending wasn't too terrible...

...Thanks...
