Mike's mind was filled with everything Quinn. He layed in the middle of the football field, with raindrops hitting him and the ground around him. Mike couldnt lay there and bury his emotions anymore, it was too much. He placed his hands on either side of his head and flipped himself up to stand. Mike looked around making sure nobody was watching him. Then Mike began to dance, putting everything he had into every move. Dancing was Mike's way of getting his anger and emotion out. Mike loved dancing in the rain, the way the rain should make him feel heavier but somehow it makes him feel lighter. As Mike dance the rain came down on him, the water raised from the grass as we swept his feet over it. All of Mike's built up anger was disappearing as he danced. He landed every move perfectly. He found when he dance with no pressure, he danced a lot better.
The unholy trinity was closer than ever sitting on that bathroom floor. Brittany and Santana just held onto Quinn and comforted her in her time of need. Quinn loved Santana and Brittany and loved that they were there for her in a time of need. They made her feel a bit better, but she was still empty without Mike.
"Okay enough of this pity party" Santana said standing up and looking down at Quinn and Brittany
Brittany stood up and moved next to Santana looking down at Quinn too.
"Come on, no more poor Quinn" Santana said reaching out her hand to Quinn
"I need him" Quinn said looking down at the ground
"You dont need him Quinn" Santana said
"Yea" Brittany backed her up
Quinn took Santana's, still, extended arm. Not because she thought they were right, but to avoid an argument. Santana pulled Quinn up and turned around and walked out of the bathroom. Brittany followed suit, so did Quinn. They walked down the hallway and started to walk up the stairs towards their lockers. Quinn followed Santana and Brittany. Quinn turned her head for a few seconds and she saw him. She stopped instantly, she moved closer to the window. She looked out onto the football field. She saw Mike dancing in the middle, the rain coming down on him. His grace, his beauty when he danced, she was always amazed. She loved watching him dance wether it was serious or not. She loved how he put so much emotion and feeling into his dancing. When ever he danced she couldnt help but stop and stare.
"Quinn come on" Santana said from the top of the stairs.
Quinn felt a urge of confidents come over her. She ran down the stairs and through the halls. She went straight through the locker room and stopped at the edge of the football field. She took a deep breath then ran out into the rain, heading straight for Mike. Quinn hadnt stop to think about this and that was probably a good thing. If she had of stopped and thought about it, she probably wouldnt have done it.
"Mike" Quinn yelled
Quinn could see that Mike was totally surprised to turn around and see her running towards him. She saw him stopped dancing and stand there in shock.
"I miss you" Quinn said stopping in front of him and looking into his beautiful brown eyes.
Mike stood there in silence, letting Quinn say what she need too.
"And I know I hurt you, and im so sorry about that" Quinn said feeling tears surface again.
"But I need you Mike, and want to be with you" Quinn said reaching out and holding Mike's hand. Tears filling her eyes, she needed to hear it back.
Rain hitting the ground was all they heard. They stood their silent. Quinn looking at Mike, and Mike looking at the ground.
"Please say something, anything" Quinn said pleading for Mike to say something.
"We need to start on the assingment. We'll meet in the library after school tomorrow" Mike said brushing past Quinn's shoulder, pulling his hand out of her's, and begining to walk off the football field.
"What about us?" Quinn said turning around to face him, while holding back tears
"Ill see you in the library tomorrow" Mike said before walking off the field
Quinn wasnt going to give up hope on them just yet. She held strong, and walked off the football field.
Mike walked into the library the next day and was extremly surprised to see Quinn already sitting their waiting for him. Quinn was never early, when ever she was late she would say she was fashionable late. Mike was really happy to see Quinn there early and taking this assignment seriously. Neither of them was excited for this assignment but it had to be done, so it was good to see Quinn making an effort to make it easier.
Quinn had been waiting for Mike for a while. It wasnt that he was late, she was extreme early. She wanted to show Mike that she was going to take this assigment seriously.
"What should we start with?" Mike said sitting down in the seat across from Quinn. He took his jacket off and placed it on the chair next to him before focusing all his attention on Quinn.
"How about basic information?" Quinn said. Quinn pritty much knew Mike's basic information, but she was okay with hearing it again.
"Good idea" Mike said looking up from his book and smiling at her.
When she was waiting for Mike in the library Quinn was still feeling uneasy about yesterday. But seeing him smile at her made all the nerves disappear.
2 hours later
"We better head to Glee Club" Quinn said closing her book and giving Mike a small sweet smile
"It's been 2 hours already" Mike said looking at his watch
"Wow that went quick, but we got a lot of work done" Mike said smiling back and closing his book
They both pack their things into their bags and stood up out of their chairs.
Mike grabbed his jacket, then gave Quinn a big smile and gestured for her to go first. Quinn smiled back and walked past him out the door
They walked into Glee Club and Quinn took a seat next to Mercedes and Tina. Mike moved more towards the back, sitting next to Kurt and Puck
Mike had gotten more confident in his singing since he played Riff in West Side Story. He already told Mr Schuester earlier he wanted to sing a song this lesson and Mr Schuester had agreed. Mike couldnt back out now, so he pick one of his favorite songs and got ready for Mr Schuester to call him up. Mike was nervous and excited. The song was important to him and bookmark the most amazing night of his life. A night that happened to be spent with Quinn.
"Mike, buddy, come sing us a song huh" Mr Schuester said before walking and sitting up the back of the choir room.
Mike stood up and walked down to the middle of the choir room. He could feel the pressure, all eyes were on him.
"Im going to sing 'Longest Night' by Howie Day" Mike said gesturing for the musicians to begin
Mike sang:
Is it dark, where you are?
Can you count the stars where you are?
Do you feel like you are a thousand miles from home?
Are you lost, where you are?
Can you find your way when you're so far?
Do you fear, where you are?
A thousand nights alone
So here we are set into motion
We'll steal a car and crash in the ocean
You and I, caught in a fading light
On the longest night
It's enough, just to find love
It's the only thing to be sure of
So hard, to let go of
A thousand times or more
I was close to a fault line
Heaven knows, you showed up in time
Was it real?
Now I feel, like I'm never coming down
So here we are, set into motion
Steal a car, crash in the ocean
You and I, caught in a fading light
On the longest night
I recall when we were together
Even now it seems like forever
So alive caught in a fading light
On the longest night
Can we go too far to find, what is waiting here?
A little fall from grace
On the longest night
Did we go too far to find, what is waiting here?
We'll take a little time, to open again
Is it dark where you are?
Can you count the stars where you are?
Mike finished and the Glee Club applauded him. He looked up at Quinn who was smiling at him, clapping. That song meant something to both him and Quinn. They both full remeber the night that change things for them. The night in Junior year when they laided their feeling down on the table. Forgetting about everyone and everything, just the two of them on the longest night. After thinking more about that night Quinn and Mike both remeber the ending which puts a frown on both of their faces.
Author's Notes: I say this about every chapter, but I really like this one. Mike and Quinn have moved past fighting and are now getting that friendship back. The next chapter will be the night in Junior year, that I breifly explained at the end. That night changed Mike and Quinn relationship so it's pritty important, but like I hinted the night ended badly. And finally they started the assignment, which shouldnt have taken so long but I felt they needed character development.
Please Review =D
