Fending For Herself 2
It didn't take Quinn long to face the reality of the situation, and she quickly ran upstairs to her bedroom. She grabbed a duffel bag. She put in her toothbrush, toothpaste, a couple changes of clothes, her Cheerios uniform, grabbed her book bag, and her prenatal vitamins, and a few more things, and then she ran into her parents' room.
Her daddy didn't have a wallet, he kept his money in a safe along with his valuables. She knew the combo. It was the numbers that spelled "Jesus" on a phone.
She tugged at the lock on the safe, and it snapped open. She took some money, along with a diamond necklace that she planned to give her daughter when she was born.
She took a quick look at the digital clock sitting on her mother's vanity. She had less then a minute left before she was kicked out of her house forever.
She ran back into her room, to the piggy bank made out of porcelain. She had saved seventeen years worth of allowances, birthday money, and Christmas money in here for emergencies. She never needed to use this money, because her daddy would just give her money if she wanted to go shopping. She placed the piggy bank in her duffel, and then grabbed her laptop and cell phone, also stuffing these into her bag. Then, she grabbed her car keys and walked downstairs, searching the faces of her parents.
"Daddy, please have mercy," she begged, but her father just shook his head. "You're a slimy, filthy disgusting disgrace to this family. Leave now, or else I'll call the police."
Quinn ran out of the house, with her stuff in tow, crying her eyes out. What could she do? She had no friends anymore, if she went to any of her familys' houses they'd think she was a disgrace just like her parents did, Puck was a deadbeat, and she wasn't with Finn anymore. Where would she go?
She decided that driving around for a little bit might help her thinking, so she slipped the key into the ignition, and began to drive backwards. She drove past the huge mansions in her neighborhood. Her heart kept breaking again and again when she saw the houses, because she had grown up with these people in those houses.
And now, she was leaving them. For good.
Quinn finally decided to drive to school and park in the parking lot. Luckily, she had a cashmere blanket and a pillow in the trunk, and she'd be able to sleep in the backseat until the doors of the school were unlocked. Then, she'd go to the bathroom, change into her Cheerios uniform, comb through her hair, and clean herself up a little.
And Quinn did just that. When she parked, she got out of the car and unlocked the trunk. She got her blanket and pillow, crawled into the backseat, and slept. She woke up to the sound of chattering voices. She looked up. Damn it! She thought. She had overslept. The tardy bell for first period had just rang. She quickly gathered her stuff, and ran to the bathroom. If Coach Sylvester saw her at school without her uniform on, she wouldn't be a cheerleader anymore.
She quickly changed out of the comfy tank top and shorts and into the tight red and white Cheerios uniform. Then, she applied her makeup, quickly put her hair into a ponytail, washed her face, and then set off running towards her locker.
She quickly put the combo in, and then tugged at it, but it wouldn't open. Great! She thought. Today had to be the day that her locker refused to cooperate.
She tried to combo four more times before it finally decided to open. Quinn shoved her things into the locker and got her stuff out for first period, which was Spanish. First period was the worst, because she had to sit and listen to Santana and Brittany gossip about her while she had to sit and watch Finn and Rachel flirting with each other.
Quinn ran to Spanish. Well, I'll just tell him the truth about what happened last night, she thought. She came into the room and made her way to his desk.
"Well, I'm glad you finally decided to show up, Quinn. Do you have a late pass?"
Quinn leaned down and whispered into Mr. Schue's ear, telling him all that had happened yesterday. He nodded, and then Quinn sat down at her seat without him even lecturing her about the dangers of oversleeping.
Quinn began taking diligent notes immediately. She wanted to be back in her comfy feather bed at home, massaging her swollen ankles, stomach, and back, which hurt from sleeping on the stiff leather in her car.
Quinn had never used to shower after third period gym, because she refused to get all sweaty over a gym class. Coach Sylvester liked the Cheerios to keep their sweat and blood for cheerleading practices. But Quinn desperately needed to shower, not having showered at home before coming to school.
The rest of Quinn's day dragged miserably. When it came time for Cheerios', Quinn dragged herself to the field. All she wanted to do at that moment was sleep her life away.
When she got out to where the rest of the Cheerios were, she started stretching. Finally, Coach Sylvester came out of her office and put Quinn out of her misery.
"Quinn, off the Cheerios," Coach Sylvester barked.
"What? Why?" Quinn asked.
"Well, I've been thinking about it for a while now. We don't want that baby coming out onto the hard, cold stage in the midair at Nationals, do we? And when I saw how pregnancy has affected your back handsprings, I had my answer. You're off the Cheerios. Put the uniform on my desk."
Quinn obliged.
Quinn ran to her car. She was no longer a Cheerio. She wasn't sure if she should be relieved or sad. She felt both.
Quinn unlocked her car, and then jumped in. Where should she go? Finally, she decided she was hungry, and she had to go to the diner on the corner.
Sorry guys, I know it sucked, but please review anyway! This was really just a filler chapter!
