Wow! Thanks for your reviews, they are greatly appreciated...
...so here is chapter 2!
"So, I'm leaving now." Quinn said as she grabbed her phone from Santana's hand.
"Alright, bye." Santana sat back on the couch.
"What are you doing?" The blonde asked.
Santana looked back to her friend, "my house is lonely." She admitted.
Quinn nodded, "okay, but my house won't be any less lonely, no one else will be here."
The Latina nodded, "yeah, I know...but I figured when you get home we could hang out more."
"I thought you would be hanging out with Brittany...isn't that what you've been doing all summer?"
Santana shrugged, "not really, her and Artie have been hanging out lately."
"Oh, are they back together?" Quinn asked.
Santana sighed, "I don't know."
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I mean...what if..." The Latina stopped herself, "yeah, I'm fine."
"You sure?" The blonde asked.
"I'm fine really Q, you go eat your dinner." She gave her a soft smile.
Quinn still wasn't convinced however she nodded, "okay, well we'll talk later then?"
"Yeah, sure." Santana flipped on the TV before she started flicking through channels.
Quinn sighed, "okay...bye." She started her walk to the door.
Quinn got into her car and slammed the door shut before buckling her seatbelt and starting the engine. Her phone rang. She then flipped it open and saw no name. She opened the message that was there and read it to herself.
Here's a hint at who I am, I know a lot about you...your favorite animal is a cheetah and you like white shoes!
Quinn laughed before replying:
I don't just like white shoes I hope you know...and about the cheetah, yeah you're right.
-Q
She then put her phone on the passenger seat and pulled out of her driveway.
It took her fifteen minutes to get to the Jones' house. She unlocked her car unbuckled and stepped outside before locking it and walking up to the door. She then reached out and rang the doorbell.
"Hey Quinn," Mercedes answered after she opened the door.
Quinn smiled, "hey yourself."
"Dinner's not ready yet, it'll be like another ten minutes." Mercedes stepped aside to let in the other girl.
"Oh, well, that's fine." She followed the girl into the living room after shutting the door. Mercedes sat down on the couch, and Quinn took a seat in the chair beside it, "so...what have you been up to this summer?" She asked.
The darker girl sighed, "well, we just got back from visiting my brother at school a few days ago."
Quinn nodded, "how is he?"
"He's good, he misses his room though."
Quinn laughed, "I guess it's a good thing we didn't change it much when I moved in then, huh?"
"Yeah, I don't think he'd like that much." Mercedes giggled. "I'm going to camp." She said.
"Camp?" The blonde asked.
Mercedes shrugged, "yeah."
"How old are you again?"
"Ha, ha you're funny!" Mercedes shook her head, "yeah, though...I'm not going, going...I'm supposed to be one of the councilors you know?" She shrugged, "it's a singing camp, so maybe I'll finally get some solos." She winked.
Quinn laughed, "well good for you."
"What have you been up to?" The dark haired girl asked.
Quinn shrugged, "nothing...I'm pretty much rotting away at my house."
"Why's that?"
"Well, I have nothing to do...my mother went on a family vacation, it's our annual Fabray family get together and I wasn't invited this year, because I'm no longer a Fabray, so yeah."
"Damn! You do have problems."
Quinn shrugged, "I'm trying to fix them though."
Mercedes nodded, "well, why are you sitting at home and rotting...you're Quinn Fabray, don't you have like a billion friends and all?"
Quinn rolled her eyes, "oh please, I don't have any friends...not really."
"Thanks to Glee Club right?"
"No, really it's thanks to me."
Mrs. Jones came in a minute later, "Quinn! Hi!" She smiled, "Mercedes why didn't you tell me she was here?" She rushed over and pulled the blonde girl up to standing position before hugging her.
"Hello Mrs. Jones, how are you?" Quinn asked after Mrs. Jones pulled away.
"Oh, I'm lovely dear, how have you been?" The older Jones smiled.
Quinn shrugged, "just the same."
"Come on, let's eat." Mercedes said.
"Right, right this way, I hope you're not allergic to broccoli Quinn." Mrs. Jones said as she led them into the kitchen.
"No, I like broccoli actually." Quinn said.
"Yuck!" Mercedes laughed, "Broccoli is disgusting."
When you get home you should check your mail box...by the way, I know you also like leopard's, fox's, elephant's, raccoon's and hummingbird's...
Quinn buckled up her seatbelt and started her car for the second time that night, "how does this person know the exact time to text me?" She asked.
How did you know I wasn't home?
-Q
She pulled out of the Jones' driveway and started her journey home. When her phone vibrated again she decided that it was safe to check the message while she was stopped at the stoplight.
Please tell me you're on your way home...I really need to tell you something.
-San
She was a little disappointed that it wasn't the other person, however she did text her back.
I'm on my way now.
-Q
The light turned green and she set the phone back in the other chair before driving again.
She pulled into her driveway ten minutes later and looked at her phone which had went off a while ago, it actually ended up going off three different times.
Well hurry the hell up before I lose my nerve!
-San
I really think we should hang out again...Lord Tubbington says the only reason you haven't been by lately is because you have a new boyfriend. That's not right is it Q, because if it was you would have told me right?
-Britt
Well I happened to be close by, and that is how I know that you're not home...don't forget to check your mail XD
Quinn sighed before texting two of them back.
I definitely don't have a new boyfriend Britt-Britt, if I did you'd be first to know. And we totally should hang out soon. Maybe tomorrow?...By the way, tell Lord Tubbington he's not as phsyic as he thinks he is.
-Q
Am I ever going to know who you are? Seriously?
-Q
She closed the device and exited her car. While walking up to the mail box she locked the car from behind. Once she opened the mail box she found a CD inside along with a dozen real roses. With a note attached. She folded the note open and read it aloud.
"Beautiful roses for a beautiful girl...I know you're wondering who I am and maybe the CD will help a little, however I don't want to just give myself away...so it won't help you too much."
Her phone went off again, and she read it after closing the mailbox.
Now if I just told you who I was, it would take the fun out of all of this! LOL, I hope you like the CD and the flowers, I handpicked them myself.
The blonde smiled before she walked up the stairs to her door. When she went to open it however it was locked, so she pulled out her key to unlock it.
"Santana!" she called out once she stepped inside.
"Living room!" was her answer.
Quinn closed the door behind her and set her keys, the CD and the flowers on the table leaning against the wall beside the door. Then she made her way into the living room, "hey are you okay?" She asked the Latina who was laying on the couch.
Santana nodded as she sat up, "yeah, I just think it's about time you knew."
"Knew what?" The blonde asked as she sat down beside her friend.
"Please, just...just don't say anything until I'm finished." Santana told her.
Quinn stared at her a moment, "San, you're kind of freaking me out...what's going on?"
Santana waved her off, "please, Q...promise."
Quinn nodded, "yeah, okay...I promise."
Santana swallowed the lump she felt in her throat, "u-uh Quinn...I...you're my best friend." She paused to study Quinn's face...but of course she couldn't read it. She never could, Quinn was as good at hiding her feelings as she was herself. She sighed, "you're my best friend, and sometimes that scares me. I try really hard to be your friend, because you mean so much to me you know. You mean everything to me Quinn."
Santana paused again and Quinn just stared at her confused, she had no idea what was going on, she had no idea why Santana was saying all of thes stuff.
"It's just that..." Santana rubbed her head a moment, "I...I have these feelings you know, and I-I uh...You know that I would never, never turn my back on you Quinn, you'll always mean as much as you have to me forever." She shook her head when Quinn just nodded, "say something please."
Quinn shrugged, "what do you want me to say...you said you didn't want me to say anything."
Santana sighed, "I don't know...but this is just it's..." She paused.
Quinn shook her head, "San, you're confusing the hell out of me."
Santana nodded, "Okay, I lied...I already turned my back on you...for the stupidest reason ever. When you got pregnant, I wasn't there for you, and I regret it, so much, I regret it." She was on the verge of tears and she didn't want to let them fall...however she couldn't help it, she had to get this out.
"Santana?" Quinn asked. She shook her head, "whatever those feelings are, whatever's bothering you, you can tell me you know. I would never turn away from you."
Santana sighed, "it's just that...it was so hard to admit the first time...a-and now that I'm admitting it again, I can't I just...I-I Quinn, I can't." She shook her head, "I can't."
Quinn nodded, "okay, that's fine." She shrugged, "you don't have to, we can do something else...what do you want to do."
Santana shrugged, "watch TV."
Quinn smiled, "okay, watch what?"
"7th Heaven?" The Latina asked.
Quinn smiled, "Okay, I'll be right back." She got off from her place on the couch and walked up to her room to grabbed the DVD's. When she came back down she looked at her friend, "season 3 okay?" She asked.
Santana smiled, "yeah, it's fine." She faced the TV and watched as the blonde put the DVD into the player and pressed play, "so how was your dinner?" She asked.
Quinn walked over to her and sat beside her again, "it was amazing, I forgot how good of a cook Mrs. Jones was...amazing."
Santana smiled, and they both settled into watching the show.
Two episodes into the show Santana looked at Quinn, "which character do you think I relate to the most?" She asked.
Quinn shrugged before looking at her friend, "I don't know...Mary probably."
"Why's that?" The Latina asked.
Quinn shook her head, "well, you're stubborn and you always do what you want and never what anyone tells you to do." She shrugged, "you don't really care what other people think of you, not enough to actually change anyway." She smiled, "and when it comes down to family and friends...you always do what you can to help them, even if they disturb you in the process."
Santana chuckled a bit, "really?"
Quinn shrugged, "yeah, plus you're funny and beautiful and just an all around misread but amazing person."
The raven haired girl looked back to the TV a moment before looking back at Quinn, "you're Lucy."
Quinn smiled, "oh, how so?"
Santana shrugged, "well, other than the fact that you're name is Lucy...you are extremely emotional though unlike Lucy you try to hide it...you're crazy and weird...you smile a lot which is a good thing. You also care so much about yourself and your family, friends and sometimes strangers." She shook her head, "you're also very klutzy."
"Klutzy?"
Santana nodded, "yeah, I mean Q, you are the only cheerleader I've ever known who can't do a cartwheel."
Quinn shrugged, "it's hard okay."
Santana laughed, "you just...you can't say no when it comes to favors for people you care about, plus there's the dead give away's like you're beautiful, you talk alot when someone gets you started on a conversation and you try to do what's right when it comes to situations...though you are also quite the risk taker."
Quinn nodded, "Oh," she shrugged before looking back to the TV.
It was during the fourth episode that Quinn got her last text. After the phone went off she stood up to retrieve it from the table in front of the TV.
When she sat back down she got ready to read her new text.
"I'm gay." Santana whispered.
Quinn looked at her friend a moment before turning her attention back to the phone.
Surprises sure come at the strangest times don't they! Expect a few tomorrow...I just wanted to say goodnight and just know I'll be dreaming about you.
Quinn looked back to the TV, she wasn't sure if Santana had wanted her to hear her confession or not so she decided not to say anything.
And there's Chapter 2...
...hope it was worth the read
