Hola readers! Sorry I haven't updated lately, I've been busy with finals, work, and helping some friends with some stuff. But now that the summer is here and I have practically no social life, maybe I can update more often lol.
After school, everyone made their way to the choir room for Glee. Quinn was one of the last ones to walk in and immediately set her eyes on Rachel. They both exchanged a secret smile before Quinn took a seat behind Rachel. Finn walked in and took the seat one down from Rachel. Right before Mr. Shue walked in, Quinn leaned down and whispered to Rachel, "Meet me at my car after class.". Rachel barely nodded and smiled to herself. "Alright gang, hope you all had a nice spring break. Now, this weeks lesson, I want to focus on older music, preferably from the 80's and down, so we can appreciate all the different emotions that those artists went through. You'll have a week to choose a song and perform it." Mr. Shue announced before talking about Sectionals.
Quinn only half paid attention as her mind drifted through various thoughts, mainly pertaining to Rachel. "Before I ask her this, I need to make sure this is what I want to do. I really like Rachel. She makes me happier then I've ever felt. She sees through past my mask, and sees me for me. This past month has been the best I've felt in a long time. I need to figure out how best to say all this though..." Quinn thought to herself as she absentmindedly stared at the girl in front of her, seeming zoned out.
Santana took a break from looking at Brittany and noticed who Quinn was staring at. Santana grinned and leaned over to Brittany. "I think Quinn's got a thing for Berry." Santana whispered to Brittany. Brittany smiled a little and looked over at the scene. "I think so too. I think they would totally make a cute couple." Brit whispered back and they both giggled to themselves. "I wonder if that's why her and Frankenstein broke up?" Santana chuckled at her own joke and looked over to Finn, who also was staring at Rachel. "Probably. But I don't think we should make a big deal about it. They'll come out about it eventually. Just like you did." Brit smiled as she said that last part. Santana squeezed her hand and grinned at her amazingly sweet girlfriend. After Glee club was finished, everyone walked their separate ways, Quinn heading to her, hoping Rachel would meet her there soon. As Rachel gathered her stuff up, she didn't notice that Finn had stayed behind.
Before she was about to walk out the door, Finn called her. "Hey Rachel. Could you stay back a second?" he asked, with a slightly dorky smile on his face. "I wonder what this is about?" Rachel thought before walking back over to Finn. "Hey Finn. What's up?" she said with a warm smile as she looked at her ex. "Look... I know things have been a little different between us since we broke up, but I've been thinking about it and I've decided that I can change for you. I don't want to lose you over something like our different careers, so I want you to know that I've been thinking about getting a job in New York for you." Finn stated in a hopeful voice, looking Rachel in the eyes. "Finn, I don't know what to say. I mean, that's unbelievable sweet of you to say, but you don't need to do that. Finn, that's not t he only reason I broke up with you. I just felt it was time for a change. I still love you, but not in that way. I'm sorry Finn." Rachel said firmly before turning around to walk out the room.
"Wait. Please, just wait. Will you at least let me sing you this song?" Finn asks, not as confident as before, but desperate for her to stay. Rachel sighed, but agreed to stay. As she sat down in a chair, the piano started up as Finn stood there, taking a breath before beginning:
"If you ever leave me baby
Leave some morphine at my door
Cause it would take a whole lot of medication
To realize what we used to have, we don't have it anymore
There's no religion that could save me
No matter how long my knees are on the floor
So keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm making
To keep you by my side, and keep you from walking out the door
Cause there'll be no sunlight, if I lose you baby
There'll be no clear skies, if I lose you baby
Just like the clouds, my eyes will do the same
If you walk away, everyday it'll rain, rain, rain-an-an-an..."
At the end of the song, Finn walked over to Rachel and took her hand. "Rachel, please. I can't imagine my life without you." Finn tries one more time. Rachel takes her hand away from his gently. "Finn, really, I'm sorry that I hurt you like this. But I don't want to be with you anymore. One day you'll find a girl who appreciates everything about you and will make you so happy. But I'm not that girl, Finn." Rachel says as sweetly as she can before gathering her stuff up again and walking out the door, leaving Finn to his thoughts.
Quinn was leaning against her car, looking down at her cellphone as Rachel finally walked up. "Hey." Quinn says as she feels herself smile. "Hey." Rachel smiles back, but one look and Quinn saw something was off about her. "What's up?" Quinn asked, hoping that Rachel would tell her if anything was wrong. Rachel at first didn't answer, just walked over to the car and leaned beside Quinn on the car, looking down at her feet. Quinn took her hand and gave it a squeeze, letting Rachel know that she's there to listen. "Finn asked me to stay after class." Rachel began, still looking down. Quinn's heart stoped as she felt a anger slightly rise in her. She let go of Rachel's hand, a small scowl crossing her face as she tried to keep her cool.
Rachel knew Quinn was upset before she even looked up. "I know what you thinking, and it's not like that. He told me that he'd change all his plans to be with me, and I said I didn't want to be with him. Then he sang me a song, and I still said no." Rachel gives Quinn a sideways glance and Quinn's face grew calmer. "And what did you tell him?" Quinn asked, trying not to panic. "God, what if she told him about us? I'm not ready to come out, I can't do that..." Quinn's thoughts were getting more panicked by the second before Rachel finally answered. "I told him that I didn't have feelings for him anymore and that I didn't want to be with him and that he should just move on. Quinn, are you okay?" Rachel asked, worried that Quinn is mad at her. "I'm fine, now. I was just... dreading the worst. I thought maybe he had convinced you to take him back." Quinn answered truthfully as she looked down, hiding her eyes from Rachel.
"Quinn... Trust me, that wouldn't happen." Rachel says as she takes a step closer to Quinn, wanting to reach out and kiss her, but refraining herself since they were in public. "Good, because... I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't have you. I think I'd die if I saw you in his arms again. Or anyone else, for that matter." Quinn had to hold herself back before she said more. "It's too soon to say all that other stuff... I mean, we're not even officially girlfriend and girlfriend. But I want it so bad." Quinn's thoughts battled inside her and she finally looked back up at Rachel. Rachel grinned at her and hugged her, not wanting to pull away but having to since they were in public. "So, now that all that is out of the way, what'd you need to see me about?" Rachel questioned as she looked from Quinn's eyes to Quinn's lips. Quinn noticed the change and smiled before asking the question, all of a sudden nervous. "Well... I was wondering if maybe you'd... Like to grab dinner sometime... Or something. Maybe at BreadStix. I can understand if you say no." Quinn stumbled out, never being this nervous before. "You can call it a date you know. It's not like it's against the rules." Rachel joked, suddenly nervous as well.
"I know, I know. But seriously Rachel... Would you like to go out on a date with me?" Quinn asked in a rush, as she saw a huge grin break out on the other girl's face. "Of course! Why wouldn't I? I was wondering when you were going to ask. When and where?" Rachel couldn't stop herself from grinning, neither could Quinn. "Ummmm, how about BreadStix, Friday night, at 7:30." Rachel nodded and quickly pecked Quinn's lips. Quinn blushed and reached out to hug Rachel again. "I can't wait till Friday." Rachel whispered in her ear as she kissed her on the neck real quick when she pulled away. "Not fair. And me either. I'll call you tonight." Quinn said as they exchanged one last hug before Rachel walked towards her car. Quinn got in the driver seat of her car and sat there for a minute, grinning like crazy.
Alright guys, another long chapter. I figured ya'll deserved it, since I haven't updated lately. Do you think Finn's gonna find out? Do you think he's gonna try something? And what about Brit and Santana? I think they will defiantly love the fact that they are right lol. Well, until next time.
