I still can't believe it.
I have one day left. One day left to pack my bags and get ready to go back home tomorrow.
It's been almost two months since Quinn turned my life upside down, but I feel as if it were only yesterday.
It has been four weeks when Heather, Sebastian, and Blaine walked into our lives, but it feels as if I never really felt their presences.
It has been four weeks since the best birthday I've ever had, though I can still remember everything that happened then, every second of it.
It has been four weeks since Quinn first kissed me, and yet I can still feel her lips on mine.
Yeah, I know, time flies when you're having fun. But I really can't help but wish I could stay with Quinn a little longer.
Though staying forever also sounds nice.
"What's with the long face, Blondie?"
"We're leaving already, San." Quinn sighs. "And I don't want to. Not yet."
"Look at it this way, Q. You said you hate this place—not to mention everyone, right? And we're leaving a few hours from now. Shouldn't you be a little bit happy?"
She shrugs. "And they say my life is perfect."
Who can blame them? Quinn is beautiful, kind, rich, smart, and loved. When she's around, it's like the place becomes brighter and happier, and everyone's moods would suddenly change. Sad people would laugh, angry people would cool down, lonely people would grin. Just a little smile from her would warm and melt even the coldest hearts. Everyone looks up at her not because of fear, but of admiration and adoration. No one would dare to try and go against her, for going against Quinn would mean going against everyone who loves her—in short, going against everyone. Anyone would think her life's perfect, but the truth is—as I see it—it's a wreck. Her life's too miserable that even if she appears to have it all, I know that she feels empty.
She feels bad because of Heather, though I can really see how much effort she's exerting just make Quinn like her.
She feels bad because of Mike, though I know that hurting Quinn's the last thing he'd want to do.
She feels bad because of Finn, though… I don't really care.
Well, even if her life isn't that perfect, at least I'm pretty sure she herself is.
As I feel the plane move, I close my eyes, say a prayer, and clutch the arms of my seat.
Déjà vu.
Quinn grabs my hand. I look at her, and my heart breaks when I notice her deep frown.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"I'm scared, S."
"Of what? The plane?" I smirk.
"Oh, please. I wasn't the one who cursed when the plane moved."
"For your information, I muttered a prayer, not a curse." I stick out my tongue. "You're scared of what, then?"
"Of… losing you."
Am I hearing things?
Am I dreaming again?
She bites her lips and continues, "I'll miss you, San."
Must be dreaming.
"I'm not going anywhere, Q. It's not like we're going to be miles apart, right? Besides, we'll see each other in school after three days, so it's not really a big deal, right?" I offer her a small smile.
She stays silent for a while before finally answering, "Will you come again with me next summer?"
I thought you'd never ask.
"Of course, Q. Promise."
She nods, holds on tighter to my hand, never letting go until we land.
I'm unpacking my things in Mercedes and I's room, almost still feeling Quinn's arms wrapped around me and her lips tickling my ears as she whispers three words I love hearing from her even if we've said our goodbyes more than three hours ago, when I almost kicked myself because of something I realized.
I still haven't asked Quinn what the hell is wrong with her.
Not that I'm complaining about Quinn's intimate gestures, 'cause Iove them.
Well, no harm done, I guess. As long as both of us are okay with it, why question it?
I sigh and think about Quinn a little more.
I can't wait to be in school with her. I can see it now, spending every second of my sophomore life with her.
I can't wait for next summer.
Sorry for the short updates. I'm trying really hard to be able to update daily. Your responses motivate me. :)
Oh, and you might want to check out my other Quinntana fic. You can read it while waiting for my next update. ;)
