A/N: sorry about the double noticed I realized that my plot timing was incorrect.
Finn was in a lip lock with Rachel. Quinn took out her cell phone and called her mother.
"Mom? I think I want to move to California with you," Quinn said. That sounded great, finally, truly being able to live a pain-free life away from Finn and Rachel.
Quinn went to find Mercedes and tell her the news, but of course she didn't count on Jacob over-hearing her. By that afternoon, everyone in the school knew that Quinn would be leaving for California in five days. Of course the only person that the fact escaped was Finn, he had left early because he felt sick. Quinn walked into the glee room. She was crowded by people.
"Quinn is it true?" Tina asked.
"Q, tell these people that it's a lie," Santana demanded.
"Quinn are you really leaving?" Kurt murmured.
"Yes, I am leaving on Friday," Quinn stated and took her seat. A feeling of loss settled over the room.
"We're all really sorry to hear that, Quinn," Mr. Schue replied. Santana actually looked like she was about to cry.
In Glee on Thursday, they sat Quinn down and, with the exception of Finn who was sick and Rachel who was skipping, they sang to her.
You'll be fine tomorrow
The sun will rise again
It's never easy to say goodbye
You know I'll always love you
You know I always will
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
My old friend (my old friend)
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
We've reached the end (we've reached the end)
I don't cry with sorrow, I cry with joy
The memories we made can't be destroyed
You know I won't forget you
You know I never could
And when I said I loved you
You know I meant for good
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
My old friend (my old friend)
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
We've reached the end (we've reached the end)
You know I'll always love you
Goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
My old friend (my old friend)
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
We've reached the end (we've reached the end)
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
My old friend (my old friend)
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
We've reached the end (we've reached the end)
Quinn felt tears trace her cheeks. She felt miserable leaving these friends but seeing Finn hurt so much. This wasn't the end of her story, it was the start of her California life. That was how Quinn tried to put an optimistic edge on it.
"Why's everybody crying?" a voice in the doorway asked.
"Finn! We thought you were sick!" Mr. Schue said.
"Well I just got back form the doctors and he cleared me to come to school," Finn explained. And as soon as he finished talking, the bell rang and the glee clubbers were on their way to their next class and Finn still didn't know that Quinn would be leaving the next afternoon.
