Chapter 28
Jesse was now helping New Directions so that they could win at Nationals, which made Finn very unhappy, one could tell that he hated Jesse, actually, there had been many fights at the Glee Club meetings, usually between them.
And now that they had decided to help Sue to prepare her sister's funeral, it was worse, while Finn wanted to do the right thing and be a nice person; Jesse believed it was a waste of time. Usually, Hudson complained about Jesse with Quinn, lately, both had been spending a lot of time together, which made feel Will annoyed.
"After the funeral, I was thinking about staying with Sue for a little while, but you can wait here for me," said Will one day at his place.
"Oh…Finn actually offered me to take me home after…and I couldn't say no because I thought it would look suspicious, so…what if we meet at the next day?"
"Fine," he said trying to hide his jealousy.
One week after that conversation, they were at the funeral. All the members of New Directions were sitting in the front, Quinn was seating between Finn and Will, in the middle of the ceremony, she felt how he grabbed her hand, and she smiled and put her sweater on their hands so that none could notice.
At the end of the service, both stood up and said goodbye, he walked towards Sue and she walked with Finn to the parking lot. She got in his car and waited for him to get in too, she had to wait for a few seconds, he had gone to the bathroom. Quinn didn't wait too long, and as soon as he got in, both put their seatbelt on.
"I was thinking…Would you like to drink something with me or something?" said Finn, he looked nervous.
"Yeah, sure"
"Cool," he turned on the car.
During the way to the Coffee Shop, both were quiet, they kept thinking about Jane and Sue. Once they arrived, Quinn waited for Finn to get out of the car, but he just stayed there. She looked at him feeling confused, he was looking at the nowhere.
"Finn…?"
"Life is so short," he said "I mean…it's not short, but it goes away so fast, and sometimes you don't do stuff because you are afraid, and…I think it shouldn't be like that"
"Okay…."said Quinn, now she was even more confused than just a few seconds ago.
"So, I need to do something" he looked at her, and before Quinn could move he kissed her on the lips, she kissed him back but as soon as she realized what she was doing, she pushed him away "Sorry…I…"
"No, Finn. I am the one who should be sorry" she said shaking her head "I can't, I am sorry. I…well…" Quinn knew she couldn't tell him that she was with someone, he would ask his name "After what I did…I don't feel like dating someone…"
"Are you still with the guy who…?"
"No" she lied "It was a one-night thing"
"Oh…"
"Finn, I can't, I am sorry, and I think you are using me as an escape. You love Rachel, if you are not looking at me, you are looking at her, and you two deserve to be together. I think that what you feel for me, right now, it's not real"
"But I…"
"Finn, let's just forget about this. Okay?" she said while opening the car door.
"Okay"
"I think I should leave"
Finn nodded, he was speechless. Quinn left before he could say anything else, she took a cab so that she could get home fast, the only thing she could think of was how she wouldn't tell Will about this, he would freak out, and things would get ugly.

Everyone was at the hotel reception, waiting for Mr. Schue to tell them which would be their rooms. All the girls were together talking to each other about how amazing it would be to take a look at New York, and the boys were on the other side talking to Finn, telling him how he could get Rachel back.
"Guys!" said Schuester. Everyone walked towards him "Okay, girls…Room 243 and boys 245, I'll be in room 350, which means I'll be a floor away from you, so please don't do anything stupid" He handed them the keys "Now, go to one room and write the songs for the competition, meanwhile I have to go to fix some paperwork, I'll meet all of you in the girls room in…two hours or less, okay?"
Everyone nodded and started to move, Quinn stopped as soon as she felt how someone was holding her hand, she smiled and as soon as everybody left, she looked at Will.
"You, me, dinner," he said smiling "8 O'clock, let's meet out of the hotel, okay?"
"Fine, what should I wear?" she said smiling.
"Something formal and something…"he moved his face to her ear "something sexy"
Quinn laughed.
"Won't they suspect if I don't get back to my room?"
"You'll go back to your room…but very late"
"Go and fix that paperwork," she said walking away.
He smiled and watched her leave, truth was, he was not going to fix some paperwork, he had to meet April at the theater, and both had to start preparing some few things for the show. Will knew he had to tell his Glee kids that he was going to leave for a while to New York, and especially he needed to tell Quinn.
