Disclaimer: I do not own glee. Ok, this is the Fuinn chapter. Please read and review if you haven't already. :)
Finn knew that it might not be the best time to interfere with Quinn's fear, but he decided to look for her anyways. Everyone was still inside the classrooms, so searching for his girlfriend's crying sound wasn't hard. Through the sound of her tears, Finn can feel the pain she was dealing with. He stepped into the girls' bathroom deliberately. By the time he got in, Quinn was already washing her tears away. She was staring at her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes wet from both her tears and the running tap water. Her boyfriend's reflection appeared on the mirror and she looked at his real figure.
"W-what are you doing here? It's the ladies room!" Quinn said in disbelief. She looked around her to make sure that no one was around.
"Making sure you're ok." He said. These simple things he did never failed her. She smiled slightly and an ear-to-ear smile formed on his face. "Seems like you're pretty ok."
"For now." She whispered. She could survive today she told herself. With Finn helping her, she was sure she could. She had to be sure. She had to have that motivation. She didn't want to be that needy girl. She didn't want to be that weep-in-the-corner-of-the-bathroom-stall kind of girl. She collected herself and forced herself to be strong. "Thank you for making me feel like a special girl." She added.
"Oh that's my strength. My charm." He said playfully. She nudged his arm before he pulled her into a hug. "Oh and Quinn, get used to that sooner." He teased her one more time and he could feel her letting out a small laugh into his shirt. He smiled along. To be honest, he didn't know when she'd be able to let her scar dry. No one knew. Not even Quinn and it scared her. But at least she didn't have to think about it for a while. She didn't want to let her mind travel its way deeper to the thoughts, so she broke the silence, speaking out what she was afraid of.
"Can we just freeze the moment? I don't want to think about everything-" She couldn't finish the sentence. Her voice sounded like she was questioning the future. Her future. Their future. Like she said, she didn't want to think or talk about it. He pulled away so his eyes can see right through hers.
"Well, don't you wanna see us in the future?" He asked her in reply. She smiled through her eyes when she heard it, but the smile died away as fast as it had appeared. It amazed her how Finn could come up with the thoughts. But to his question, no answer came up to her mind. She was afraid that he would leave her for Rachel again. She was afraid that things weren't going to work out for them. As afraid as she was, Finn managed to cast those fears of her aside. She shrugged, blinked the last of her tears back, and held his hand.
"Well, are you ready to go back? The glee club is probably waiting for us." She nodded. She was happy enough she had Finn by her side. It reminded her of the times when Finn was just an innocent sophomore walking down the hallway looking for his girlfriend in her cheerios uniform. They walked to the choir room quietly, but the mixture of silence and Finn's grip comforted her.
The choir room was just two doors away and the feelings inside of her started to show again.
"Finn, I don't know if I-" her eyes fell on the floor. His fingers lifted up her chin,
"Hey, you're strong. I know you are." Her fingers began to fumble. A kiss was planted on top of her head as soon as she brought her sight down again. "And your shoes are pretty, just like you, so stop staring at them." She smiled. His jokes might be lame, but to her, they were sweet. She started walking. Her steps were slow but with every step she took, she glued pieces of herself and her emotions together. The door was opened, and every single pair of eyes was directed towards them. She pulled a smile to cover her fear and sadness. To her, it seemed like everyone bought it, but everyone knew that the smile was fake. She just needed some time.
She squeezed Finn's hand gently. Her eyes found their way to Puck. His guitar was still wrapped in his arms. For a second, she thought about how charming he actually was. He had taken care of her for a while. Well, sort of. It wasn't fair for him. It looked like she just dumped him because she never liked him. She dumped him that easily because of Finn. She shook that thought off her head. No, this isn't wrong, she thought, this is how it's supposed to be. She let out a deep sigh and looked at Finn again. She could see that he was hurt. She felt guilty. She shouldn't have looked at Puck that way. That was way too long.
"I'm sorry." She whispered, so she wouldn't distract her teammates from their conversation. He knew what she was talking about but he chose to not reply. It was kind of childish he knew, but was he completely wrong? It was his girlfriend staring at another guy that used to be his best friend. Not to mention that that boy was the one who knocked her girlfriend up. That boy was the one who his girlfriend chose to cheat on him with.
Quinn's grip loosened and it scared Finn even more. To his surprise, Quinn stood on her toe, and planted a delicate kiss on his lips. Mercedes saw the scene and he couldn't take her eyes off of them. She was filled with excitement. She saw Quinn finally truly taking her mind off the matter for a while. The school bell interrupted the kiss.
"SUMMER!" Artie screamed on top of his lungs. Quinn couldn't help but laugh. It wasn't that bad after all. She looked at her little girl, this time with a smile. No tears tried to make their way out of her eyes. It's just another new beginning. And I will never lose her, she reassured herself and smiled at the baby one more time.
Thank you for reading. Please review. :)
continue or stop? If I continue, it'll probably be more Fuinn-centric cause the last ones were Quinn-Beth centric. :)
