Chapter One
Quinn sat in the Lima Bean and sipped her coffee as she examined Puck interacting with Beth. She was so happy that she had Beth back, but she had no idea how to act around her. Puck was so carefree with her and she was surprised that his normal badass attitude was thrown to the wind around Beth.
Ever since Beth came into the picture again Quinn had moved in with Puck. Now you might think Puck still lives at home with his mother and is lazy, but he surprisingly had enough money from his job at Burt Hummel's garage to buy himself a three bedroom apartment just a mile away from McKinley. She was more comfortable with having her own room and was definitely glad that she could get to know her daughter
Quinn was jerked out of her thoughts when she heard a boom and the sound of Beth's cry. Her maternal instincts sprang into action as she jumped out of her chair, crouching down next to Puck.
"Momma!" she sobbed, reaching her little arms out for Quinn. She scooped her up and Beth rested her head on Quinn's chest, her chubby hands clasping the back of her neck.
Quinn's heart swelled as she held her little girl in her arms and she looked at Puck with tears in her eyes. He had a happy grin on his face that grew wider when she reached down and clasped her hand in his. A mutual understanding passed between them that things were going to be okay and they were going to be a family. Especially because those feelings from two years ago were beginning to resurface...
"Lindsay?"
Lindsay jumped and turned around in surprise. She internally groaned when she saw her so called 'boyfriend' Bryce Johnson standing there with a grin on his face. She plastered on a smiled and closed her locker.
"Hey Bryce." She said faking enthusiasm. He smiled at her and leaned down, pressing his lips to hers. Lindsay wrapped an arm around his neck and responded back eagerly, because even though he flirted with other girls, he was good to her and she knew that Damian would never choose her. She knew she deserved more than just to settle but she had no choice.
Damian watched Lindsay kiss Bryce with a smile on her face and slammed his locker angrily. That should be him making her smile. That should be him kissing her and telling her how beautiful she is.
He growled angrily and wheeled around, nearly bumping into Cameron who had an amused look on his face.
"A little angry?" he asked as he opened his locker. Damian rolled his eyes and shook his head, leaning against his locker. He watched as Lindsay pulled away from Bryce and noticed her smile was a little forced. She began walking in his direction and Damian sighed and nudged Cameron.
"Hey Damian." She smiled. "Cameron." She said with a nod. Lindsay and Cameron didn't exactly get along these days. They dated for a short time the previous year before Cameron started noticing Marissa-who was Lindsay's best friend.
"Hey Linds. What's up?" Damian asked, his anger melting away as soon as she spoke.
'Mr. Schuester told me he needs to speak with us. He wants us to do a duet for Sectionals." She said excitedly. He smiled at her and she waved to Cameron before taking Damian's hand and dragging him down the hall.
Marissa was walking down the hall after glee practice ended when somebody grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the nearest classroom. She yelped and clutched her chest but sighed in relief when she saw it was only Cameron.
"Jesus Cam, are you trying to give me a heart attack?" she gasped. Cameron smiled and stepped closer to her, wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Sorry Mars, I just couldn't wait to see you." He chuckled. "Why do we have to keep sneaking around like this?"
"You know why Cam." She sighed. "I just broke up with Samuel to be with you and I don't want him to know that I cheated on him."
He sighed but attempted to smile as he leaned down and pressed his lips to Marissa's. He was counting down the days until he could officially tell everybody that she was his girl.
"I love you." she smiled, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"I love you too." he murmured and captured her lips once more.
Meanwhile, Samuel watched angrily from the hallway as he realized why Marissa broke up with him over the summer. She wanted Cameron more than him.
Boy was Cameron in for it...
The next morning, Lindsay walked into glee practice and she immediately froze at the sight before her. Damian was in the choir room with Emily pinned against the wall in front of him. Her hand was on the back of his neck and his around her waist and his lips were crushed against hers.
Lindsay covered her mouth to suppress the sob that almost slipped out. She quickly wheeled around and ran down the hall. She knew that Damian wasn't her boyfriend and that he had the right to kiss whoever he wanted, but she had thought that he was actually into her for a few moments. She pushed her legs faster when she heard the choir room door open and Damian and Emily's laughter. Damian turned and noticed Lindsay quickly making her way down the hall and called out to her.
"Hey Lindsay!" he called.
She slowed and slightly turned her head before shaking her head and turning the corner. Damian was confused but quickly forgot as Emily turned his head towards her and gave him a dazzling smile.
Lindsay had been dodging Damian all day and he was curious why. He finally cornered her after the final bell as she was getting books out of her locker.
"Lindsay?"
She jumped and looked over, averting her gaze when she saw it was Damian.
"I really don't have time to talk Dam-"
"Why have you been avoiding me?" he asked softly. She sighed and shut her locker, picking up her bag and leaning against the wall.
"I saw you and Emily in the choir room." She murmured. He groaned and ran a hand through his hair.
"Lindsay…Emily and I aren't really together. We just go out from time to time because we don't have anybody. Its not a big deal."
"Damian, it's fine. I'm not your girlfriend so you can kiss whoever you like." She said, smiling sadly.
"But Lindsay I like-"
"I'll see you tomorrow. I'm late for Cheerios." She said quickly and began to walk down the hall. Halfway there Bryce walked out of a nearby classroom and she smiled at him as he came up and wrapped his arm around waist. She leaned into his side and they walked down the hall as Damian looked on sadly.
Damian walked into school the next day and immediately knew something big had happened. Phones were going off left and right and people were whispering and pointing at one another. Damian walked up to his locker besides Cameron and look at him curiously.
"What's going on?" Damian asked.
"Didn't you hear? Lindsay and Bryce broke up." Cameron said. Damian's jaw dropped and he gaped at Cameron.
"What? Why?" he gasped.
"She told him she's in love with someone else."
Damian looked away dejectedly, closing his eyes and banging his fist on his locker. He really didnt stand a chance.
Damian was shocked when Lindsay walked into glee practice that day with puffy eyes and a red face. She looked so torn up over the break up and he wanted to just hold her and tell her everything would be alright.
"Mr. Schue? I have a suggestion for Sectionals." she said softly. He smiled sadly at her, noticing her pain, and nodded.
"Go ahead Lindsay."
She whispered something to the band before sitting on a stool and taking a deep, shuddering, breath.
Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.
She looked over at Damian, willing him to understand that he was the one. He had always been the one, never Bryce. She didnt care if he didnt like her back-she just needed him to know.
You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.
Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.
Damian didn't know why Lindsay was looking at him when she was in love with somebody else. He wished that he was the one she was in love with and needed her to understand that he was the one for her.
You loved me 'cause I'm fragile.
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.
She stood up and sang the words more forcefully, waiting to see the realization dawn on his face. Damian finally listened to the words and realized that he...he was the one she wanted.
I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you're everything I think I need here on the ground.
But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down
As she belted out that last sentence she saw his comprehension and smiled in relief. Marissa, who had been watching their whole exchange, discreetly took Cameron's hand and pointed to them. Cameron smiled at her and was happy, because even though Damian had never confirmed it-he was head over heels for Lindsay.
You're on to me, on to me, and all over...
Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
Lindsay look at Damian expectantly and bit her lip nervously. What came next?
