Quinn's Dreams
Chapter 2: I'll Stand By You
After Quinn's miscarriage, she refused to let anyone ever see her except for Tracie. Dave would give Quinn's meds to Tracie, and she would make sure Quinn took them correctly. Quinn's nightmares were about Beth and the baby she lost this time. One night it was so unbearable. Dave, Noah, and Burt had to hold her down.
When Quinn woke up the next day, she asked Tracie to run to get Burt, and the moment he came in, she says, "Puck found the second baby book and I took it before we got back together the second time. Mr. H, I don't know how much more of these nightmares I can take. I understand this is stressing everyone out still. I'm certain Elizabeth didn't die of cancer, Mr. H. I want to know what really happened!"
Kurt walks in as Burt breaks down. When Burt calms down, he keeps his eyes on Quinn as he says, "The day she slipped into a coma, she had a miscarriage and Kurt was the one that discovered her in the tub. He thought she was asleep, but I found out that she had overdosed on the depression medication she was given. Following the funeral, I found a note in her things. I thought she died from cancer. I let Kurt believe that it was cancer that killed her. Because I was too ashamed of the fact she took her life. I poured myself into my work until I met Carole, and never let myself grieve for or think about her until we kissed. Ha, you were reminding me of Elizabeth when you had Beth. Although she adored Kurt and doted on him. But she wasn't taking her own advice and was at her breaking point by the time she found out she had cancer. She hid it all from me until the end. Finn found the book before he..."
Quinn turns away from Burt and asks for Tracie. When Tracie comes in Santana is with her. Both of them lay on each side of Quinn before Santana starts to sing I'll Stand By You.
(Santana)
Oh, why you look so sad?
The tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't, be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
'Cause I've seen a dark side, too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess, could make me love you less
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
So, if you're mad get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you gotta hide?
I get angry too
Well, I'm a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
Don't know which path to choose
Let me come along, 'cause even if you're wrong
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
And when, when the night falls on you, Baby
You're feeling all alone
You won't be on your own
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
Oh, I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Noah stormed out after this and an hour later Mercedes calls Kurt. Yet, all he hears is Noah yelling at someone. Once Kurt turned on his speaker, Noah yelled, "I'm not Mr. H, and Quinn is not you, Elizabeth! Everybody keeps telling me, I'm like Mr. H, but they are wrong! I'm nothing like him! I lost my best friend to suicide! There is no way I'm giving up on Quinn like that! Quinn is my world and I don't want to lose her again. I let her slip away from me twice already. There is no way I am willing to give up on her again! I almost died trying to get back to her! I'm sorry for all the things I did to Kurt growing up. Okay? Please, I don't want to lose Quinn again!"
Soon Noah was sobbing and Mercedes says, "Puck has been coming here since Mr. H got him out of the hospital. Today was the first time he yelled at your mom, and he was yelling at her about the way she left Mr. H and you before I called you. How is Quinn doing?"
Kurt doesn't get to answer her because Noah answers her by yelling, "She has been having nightmares since I've been missing, Mercedes! How do you think she is doing? Mr. H has watched Quinn this whole time! Now, Quinn won't let anyone but Tracie near her! I want my girl back, Mercedes. I don't want her to die, and her PTSD is killing her. I let Beth go after Shelby got her. God, took my son back and almost took me! He is not taking her, and I am not willing to let her do what Finn did!" Noah breaks down again before Mercedes ends the call.
While Quinn holds Tracie, Kurt asks Santana to leave as he enters the room. Then Quinn breaks down as she holds Tracie. Kurt lays on the other side of her and whispers, "Lean on me, Quinn." Before he started to sing the song.
(Kurt)
Sometimes in our lives, we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won't let show
You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand.
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand.
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me (call me)
If you need a friend (call me) call me uh-huh (call me) if you need a friend (call me)
If you ever need a friend (call me)
Call me (call me) Call me (call me) Call me
(call me) call me (call me) if you need a friend
(Call me) call me (call me) Call me (call me) Call me (call me) Call me (call me)
