Quinn spent a few days in Louisville before heading back to New Haven. She wanted to stay longer, but she couldn't keep missing classes. Quinn prided herself on her 4.0 GPA and there was a huge test she had to do that very next day.
"I wish you could stay longer, Q. It's nice having you here. And Caitlyn loves you." Santana laughed. "She may love you more than I do."
More than I do, echoed in Quinn's head a little longer than what she deemed normal.
"I know, but I got that test for Calculus and I can't miss it." Quinn was placing her bag in her trunk and then closed it. "I promise I'll come back. A few more weeks and school will be out for summer. Think you can survive until then?"
Santana pushed Quinn playfully. "I'll be fine. I promise."
The girls hugged before Quinn got into her car. She started it up, and rolled down her window. "If you need anything though, San. Call me okay?"
"I will. Thanks again Q, for everything."
Quinn nodded, put her car in drive and began to drive away.
As she got onto the interstate, she turned on the radio and rolled the passenger window down. The past few days with Santana had been fun. They went sight seeing, and Santana took Quinn onto campus to show her around while she went to class. They had lunch together everyday, and Quinn enjoyed every minute. It was something so familiar, so nice. She didn't like the loneliness she felt at Yale.
Quinn always thought that starting over in New Haven was what she wanted. What she needed. She craved it. But after a few months, she realized that the world was a different place without her friends. Everyone had moved on, and it was hard to manage. Her mental health wasn't the best, granted her life hadn't been the easiest. She made friends, but something just wasn't the same.
Which is why the weekend at the wedding was so refreshing, despite what actually happened. Quinn was surrounded by friends. By people who knew what she went through and understood everything about her.
Once Quinn got into a comfortable lane, she put her car in cruise control and took a deep breath in- preparing herself for the long drive ahead of her.
Santana lingered in the parking lot for a little while after Quinn drove away. It was funny, when she thought about it. A part of her wanted to get into the car with Quinn and go with her to New Haven. But with cheer and school, it just wasn't possible. The entire time Quinn was there, the conversation she had with Caitlyn remained in her mind.
She had never thought of Quinn in that way. The only person that Santana had ever had really strong feelings for was Brittany, who was now engaged to Sam.
Anytime she thought about it, it was like another mini knife being jabbed into her heart. It hurt, because she always thought that they were destined to be together. That Brittany was her forever. Maybe breaking up with her was a mistake.
Santana walked down to the shop and purchased a pack of cigarettes. She took the long way back to her dorm, and sat on a bench under a tree. She lit a stogie, and took a puff.
What was most surprising to Santana about the past couple days was the fact that she barely thought about Brittany. It was nice forgetting about reality for a while but now it was time for her to face the music. Having Quinn for the brunt of it all was something she'd be forever grateful for.
But what she couldn't figure out, was if she had feelings for Quinn. Nah, it's just the fact that Quinn has been here for her more lately and that her heart just got broken. And yeah they had sex, but all of this was due to the fact that they were both hurting.
Santana ashed her cigarette and began walking back to her dorm. Before she got to her room, she pulled out her phone and opened a new message to Quinn.
I'll miss you.
