Author Note: Sorry I haven't updated recently. I was on a trip and came back a day later because my flight was canceled. But had the best time at the 2010-2011 CASL Conference. Anyways on with the story.
Not Over You
The next day was nice and slow. Most of the drama between the glee club seemed to have dissolved. Most of it.
Last night, I sat on my bed thinking about what Finn had said back in the auditorium. I thought of all the pros and cons of the entire conversation. The biggest question that I have to answer is do I give into him? Inside I know that no matter what happens my heart will always belong to Finn. But will he take me back as easily as he says he would? Saying it and doing it were two different things.
As I looked down the hall, I noticed Finn smiling and laughing with Mike Chang. Apparently their friendship was easily mended within a day. Tina and Mercedes had joined them soon afterward. Finn looked genuinely happy.
I stood staring from my locker until a voice startled me.
"Hey baby." I turned around to be greeted by my boyfriend.
"Hey." I barely whisper.
"So I was wondering if you wanted to come by my house tonight. My family really wants to see you again." Sam informed her.
"Ok. Will you please walk with me to lunch?" I questioned after the bell rang.
"Yeah, sure. Let's go." he turned me around leading me to the cafeteria. Before we turned into the next hallway I stole one last look to Finn and managed to catch him staring back.
At lunch I was sitting with Sam, Rachael, Puck, Brittany, Artie . I look at the other people at the other table laughing their butts off. Sitting there were Tina, Mike, Mercedes, Santana, and Finn. They were all laughing at a story Mike had just told them about his first failed attempt at dancing. They seemed to be enjoying themselves as a group unlike us. We all had different conversations. Puck and Rachael would keep to themselves, Brittany and Artie would talk with each other, and Sam would usually talk while I pretended to listen.
Once or twice I noticed Sam glaring at Finn. He looked sort of angry. Like he thought something was wrong about him or he was doing something that he shouldn't be.
During fifth I was practically falling asleep hoping that it would end soon so that I could head to glee. As I was about to start packing up I hear the conversation behind me. It only caught my attention because I heard Finn and Sam.
"Did you hear about Sam Evans and Finn Hudson?" one of the girls asked.
"No. About what?" her friend had replied.
"Well from what I heard last period Sam went and confronted Finn. For some reason Sam thinks that Finn's trying to steal Quinn away." the first girl whispered hoping that I wouldn't be able to hear.
"No way."
"Yeah. And then Sam told Finn to back off. But Finn just told him that he wasn't gonna give up. He said that he loved Quinn enough to fight for her." the girl explained.
I was so into their conversation that I didn't realize that the bell rang until people started to walk out. Hurriedly I packed my stuff and rushed out of the classroom. I was walking to glee by myself and registered what the girls had said. Finn was going to fight for me. I do mean that much to him.
I took a seat next to Sam. I zoned out pretty much the whole class but returned before the last ten minutes of class.
"Hey guys. Alright before we finish up here Finn and Tina have asked to perform something." Mr. Shue explained as he urged the duo to begin.
"Thanks, Mr. Shue. Well a lots been on my mind lately. Not just my mind but also in my heart. There has been a lot of conflict between them." He looked at me as he said his next few words. "Part of me is telling me to run after the girl I love, but the other part of me is telling me that I shouldn't. With Tina's help I found the perfect song for my current situation."
He grabbed one of the guitars but before he could start someone called him.
"I didn't know that you could play the guitar Finn." Artie had interrupted.
"Well I used to play while I was younger but later I ended up liking to rock out on the drums instead." he simply stated.
I was born in the arms of imaginary friends
Free to roam made a home out of everywhere I've been
Then you come crashing in, like the realest thing
Trying my best to understand, all that your love can
bring
Oh half of my hearts got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time
Half of my hearts got a right mind to tell you that
I can't keep loving you(can't keep loving you)
Oh with half of my heart
I was made to believe I'd never love somebody else
Made a plan stay the man who could only love himself
Lonely was the song I sang, til the day you came
Showing me another way, and all that my love can bring
Oh half of my hearts got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time
Half of my hearts got a right mind to tell you that
I can't keep loving you(can't keep loving you)
Oh with half of my heart, with half of my heart
Your faith is strong, but I can only fall short for so
long
Down the road, later on
You will hate that I never gave more to you
Then half of my heart
But I can't stop loving you(I can't stop loving you)
I can't stop loving you(I can't stop loving you)
I can't stop loving you, with half of my heart
Oh half of my heart
Half of my heart
Half of my hearts got a real good imagination
Half of my hearts got you
Half of my hearts got a right mind to tell you that
Half of my heart won't do
Half of my heart is a shotgun wedding
To a bride with a paper ring
But half of my heart is the part of a man
Whose never truly loved anything
Half of my heart
Oh half of my heart
Half of my heart
Oh half of my heart
A huge round of applause was heard around the room as the music began to fade away.
"Great job, guys. I'll see you guys tomorrow." Mr. Shue dismissed us.
I told Sam to wait for me by the car and was slowly approaching Finn. He was still surrounded by Tina and Mike.
"Hey guys." I greeted.
"Hey." Mike and Tina echoed.
"We'll meet you outside Finn." Mike said giving them time to talk.
"Alright." he turned to me and looked straight into my eyes. It was quiet for about two minutes before I decided to change that.
"You guys did an amazing job." I complemented.
"Thanks. Tina has a great voice and she was the one who came up with the song. She helped me practice it last night." he explained as he took a seat on the piano bench.
I went to sit next to him. "You were really good too."
"Thanks." There was another awkward silence that followed. This time it was his turn to break it. "You know that that song was dedicated to you, right?"
"Well I do now." I told him.
"I still love you Quinn. Even though part of me is against it, the other part is much greater and telling me to follow its path to you."
"Finn i still love you too." by this time my head was resting on his shoulder. "But I'm afraid that I'm gonna make a mistake and end up hurting us both...again."
"Quinn I forgave you that night I found out."
I was seriously confused and shocked. "Why do you do that? What I did was horrible. I didn't just sleep with your best friend but I lied to you and made you think that I was carrying your baby for months."
"I can't stay mad at you. No matter what. Even if I tried. Besides even though you weren't carrying my baby you were nicer to me. You turned back into the Quinn I fell in love with from the beginning. You were no longer Sue's head cheerleader and HBIC, you were just Quinn Fabray, pregnant girl who stole Finn Hudson's heart and never returned it.
"Do you really mean that?" I ask as tears start to form in my eyes at his words.
"Of course I do. You are the most important girl in the world to me, well besides my mom." I gave him a playful shove.
"I heard that Sam talked to you." I admitted.
"You heard about that?" I nodded. "He told me to back off. But I told him not a chance. You are definitely worth fighting for. Besides you were my first love and first loves are forever, right?"
My heart was beating a thousand beats per minute. He loved me enough to fight for me despite my current boyfriend's warning.
We both knew that it was wrong but we leaned in and lips crashed against one another. Eventually we pulled away for much needed air.
"I'll see you later. Mike's probably waiting for me." he excused himself.
"Yeah. Sam's waiting for me too."
We stood up and we gave each other a hug. He pulled me close and kissed the top of my head. A few seconds later he let go and left.
I felt the happiest I've ever been in forever.
