So, here is the fourth chapter...hope you like it.
Happy reading!
Quinn woke up around seven a.m. she wiped her eyes and pushed Santana's arm away from herself so she could get up without waking her up. As she yawned she grabbed her glasses placed them over her eyes and she stood up from her bed. While grabbing her phone Quinn glanced quickly at the raven haired girl, making sure she was still asleep.
After making sure that Santana was still sleeping Quinn made her way down the stairs. She walked directly into the kitchen and grabbed herself a cup of coffee. After setting the cup on the island she sat on top of one of the stools and turned her phone on.
When she finished checking her missed texts which were not important (they were all from her mother) she ended up texting Brittany.
Hey Britt, when you wake up text me back, I wanna talk to you.
-Q
She set her phone down and took a drink of coffee before her phone buzzed with a text. The blonde looked at it for a moment before picking it up to check her message.
I'm already awake Q, I couldn't sleep.
-Britt
Quinn nodded, "okay."
Well do you think instead of hanging out later we could hang out now?
-Q
It actually took a little while longer for the other blonde to text back. Quinn actually began to think that Brittany had fallen asleep or forgotten about her.
It took some confishing, but I finally got Lord Tubbington to agree to us hanging out.
-Britt
Quinn had to read it twice but yes the word was confishing.
Britt, what is confishing?
-Q
Talking to Lord Tubbington, trying to get him to agree on us hanging out.
-Britt
Quinn couldn't help but smile to herself, "oh." She nodded.
You mean convincing?
-Q
Yeah, that's what I said.
-Britt
Why wouldn't he allow us to hang out?
-Q
He's mad at you for saying he's not physic.
-Britt
Oh.
-Q
And he doesn't want us hanging out in our house.
-Britt
Quinn nodded while she considered the text she set her phone down and walked over to her fridge and grabbed a piece of the cake she had made a few days ago. Then she walked back over to the stool with the cake and a fork, and sat back down.
We can meet at the park?
-Q
She finished her cake before Brittany texted her again.
See you in about ten minutes?
-Britt
Great, see you then.
-Q
After she set her phone back on the island counter she walked over to the sink with the plate and fork and set them on the counter.
After washing her hands Quinn was back upstairs, she walked over to her dresser and grabbed a pair of shorts and a tank top she was gonna jog up to the park (had to work off that cake, ha). She looked at Santana again making sure she was asleep.
She hated seeing Santana so broken, if Santana wasn't strong then how could she be? Santana was the one who pushed her to be stronger, even if it was by beating her down.
She was going to help the Latina.
The truth was Quinn was going to talk to Brittany just about Santana, just to try to get a hold on everything going on.
She sat on the edge of her bed and slipped on her old Cheerio shoes.
After she got back down stairs she grabbed her phone and her keys before locking the door behind her as she stepped out side.
Sighing she began her jog.
About seven minutes later Quinn was sitting on one of the benches in the middle of the park. She was trying to catch her breath as she looked around. She thought it was kind of sad that she had only ran seven minutes before going out of breath, she used to be able to run for an hour and thirty-five minutes before needing a break.
She chuckled at the thought as her phone buzzed. She looked down at it, hoping it wasn't Brittany telling her she had changed her mind.
So, word on the streets is there's a party at the Hummel-Hudson place...will I be seeing you there?
Quinn shook her head as she texted the person back.
Depends on if you tell me who I'll be looking for?
-Q
It was a long shot, she figured the person wasn't stupid (Unless it was Finn, then they might be a little less brighter than the average person) they wouldn't just give themselves away.
No, no I'll be the one looking around. Just tell me if you'll be there.
Quinn shook her head, I'm not that easy.
If I'm there, you'll know.
-Q
"Hey, Quinnie." A bubbly voice greeted from behind her.
Quinn put her phone in her shorts pocked and slid around on the bench, "Brittany, hey." She smiled, "come here, come sit."
The talker blonde walked over to the bench and sat down, "Sorry I'm a little late. I saw a duck on the way over here. I thought that it might have been lost so I tried to help it find it's way...but I got lost."
Quinn laughed, "please, Britt, you're only five minutes late." She shook her head, "so you found your way?"
Brittany smiled, "yeah, the duck ended up helping me."
"Oh."
"His name is Gilbert."
"Gilbert?"
"And he has two siblings, his brother Norbert, and his sister Theona."
"Oh." Quinn really had no idea what to say.
Brittany smiled excitedly, "they offered to let me stay for breakfast, but I said no because I had to meet my friend Quinn, and they asked who that was and I told them." She paused and made sure Quinn was still listening (she was). "I told them, Quinn's my blonde friend, a little shorter than me...and she has the prettiest eyes I've ever seen. And Gilbert, he told me he had seen someone looking like that earlier." She shrugged, "so he had told me that if I just continue walking down the yellow brick road I'd find you!" She clapped, "and hey, I found you!"
Quinn nodded, "the yellow brick road?"
Brittany smiled, "yeah, I followed it to you."
Quinn smirked, "Brittany did you happen to watch The Wizard Of Oz last night?" She was pretty sure there was no yellow brick road in Lima, Ohio.
"Oh, yeah! I love that movie." Brittany smiled
Quinn giggled, "yeah, It's good."
After a moment of comfortable silence Brittany looked at the other blonde, "So, Quinn, what'd you want to talk about?"
Quinn nodded, oh right! "Uh, well...I just, I wanted to know...how are you and Santana?"
"Santana?" Her voice was laced with confusion.
Quinn smiled, "yeah, I just...I know that you two haven't actually hung out in a while...then I-I saw you two make up on the last day of school, you know I thought maybe you know you and her were okay, but then I still assume you're not."
"Why would you assume that?"
Quinn shrugged, "well, last summer every time I asked either you or Santana to hang out, you both had to check with each other, but it's no longer like that."
Brittany looked at the ground, "sorry, for that by the way."
Quinn placed her arm on Brittany's shoulder, "I'm fine, really." She sighed, "what can I do to fix you and her?"
Brittany looked up and when she did her eyes were brimming with tears, "I-I can't." She shook her head, "I love her Q, I do...but I can't." She sobbed.
Quinn scooted toward her friend and pulled her into her, "shh Britt, it's okay." She said softly, "come on, don't cry." Quinn felt tears brimming in her own eyes, "please, don't cry."
They sat there holding each other for about ten minutes when Brittany suddenly pulled away, and she looked as though she was out of tears, "aw, Quinnie I didn't mean to make you cry." She said, her voice thick with guilt.
Quinn couldn't help but laugh as she wiped away her tears, "It's not your fault Brittany." She smiled, "really, being around emotional people makes me really emotional." She shook her head, "I had defeated that part of myself until my pregnancy." She wiped at her eyes again, "unfortunately, that side of me came back stronger, and I can no longer control it."
Brittany laughed, "wow, you really are a messed up person!"
"Thanks," Quinn sighed as she wiped the last few tears away. She looked back into Brittany's eyes, "are you dating Artie again...is that why you can't?" She shook her head, "well, is that why you and Santana are no longer close?"
Brittany shook her head, "no, it's just that I've become so close to Artie and his family...and Artie and I play video games and stuff together all the time." She smiled, "I'm actually pretty good at them."
Quinn smiled too, "awesome."
"Santana and I stopped being close because Santana stopped being my friend." Brittany sighed, "I don't think she like's me so much anymore."
"That's not true."
"Yes, it is. I hurt her, and I..." She didn't finish.
During the few seconds of silence Quinn's phone vibrated, she pulled it out and looked at her text.
You left me?
-San
Quinn sighed, she did feel kind of guilty about not leaving Santana a note telling her where she was going. After all the other girl was still kind of freaked out, and afraid that Quinn really didn't except her. Yet, if she had left a note, Quinn was afraid Santana might have decided to join her when she woke up.
Yeah, just a morning jog, I'll be back soon. Promise.
-Q
Quinn looked back up at Brittany, "So, are you going to the party tonight at Kurt and Finn's?"
Brittany smiled, "yeah, I'm excited, I have to pick up Tina and Mike before though."
Quinn nodded, "great, so we'll talk more then?" She stood up and pulled the taller girl up with her.
Brittany nodded, "uh, yeah."
Quinn shrugged, "great, I'll see you then." She went to turn around, however Brittany grabbed her wrist.
Quinn turned back to Brittany, the taller blonde shrugged, "I forgot how to get home."
Quinn smiled as she pointed behind the girl, "you came from that way Britt. Just follow the yellow brick road." She winked at her friend.
Brittany smiled, "okay, thanks."
"Text me when you get home Britt." Quinn told the girl before they parted ways.
Quinn walked up the stairs and found Santana laying on her bed still, "hey, I'm taking a shower." She told the girl before walking over to her dresser and getting more clothes, "there's a party at the Hummel-Hudson place." Quinn said, trying to make conversation.
Santana stood up and walked over to Quinn, "Puck told me, but I'm not going."
Quinn looked at her, "Santana Lopez is not going to a party?"
The raven haired girl rolled her eyes, "shut up." She shook her head, "she'll be there, and it wouldn't work...I wouldn't be able to handle it."
Quinn shook her head, "you have to go."
"Why?"
"I need moral support."
"For what?"
Quinn shrugged, "I think that mystery person is going to give himself away at the party."
Santana nodded, "how long as this mystery person thing been going on?"
Quinn shrugged, "like three days why?"
"I just wonder why he's giving in so quickly." Santana shrugged.
Quinn hadn't thought about that, "well, he asked me if I was going to the party or not." She shook her head, "wait, you don't think that he'll show up?"
Santana smiled, "no, Q, he'll show up...I just don't think he'll give himself away like that."
Quinn watched as Santana walked over to the bed and sat back down, "please, come to the party?" She asked.
Santana looked at her, "Q..."
"It'll be good I promise, it'll be fun...a-and I won't leave your side the entire time." She nodded enthusiastically, "yeah, it'll be like were conjoined twins without the actually joinment."
"Jointment?" Santana laughed.
"Shut up, it's a word."
The Latina continued to laugh, "No, it's not."
Quinn glared at her, "okay, and for laughing at me, you have to come."
"Quinn..."
"I'm not taking no for an answer Santana, even if I have to handcuff our wrists together and drag you there myself...so you might as well say yes." The blonde said aggravated.
Santana smirked, "ooh, Fabray has handcuffs, may I ask what you use them for?"
Quinn shook her head, "do you ever make a comment not related to sex?"
Santana nodded, "sometimes, but they're very rare."
"Please come?" Quinn asked again.
Santana rolled her eyes, "fine...but only if you stay true to your joinment."
The blonde glared at her before grabbing her clothes and walking to the bathroom.
The yellow brick road led me home. See you later Q.
-Britt
Quinn smiled as she read Brittany's message before looking at her next one.
Don't know if you heard yet or not, but there's a party at our house tonight...and I kind of want you there Quinn. So please come.
-Finn
That text kind of worried her, why did Finn want her there? Why would he care if she showed up at his house for the party or not...unless he was the mystery person and thought that he would tell her tonight at the party. Quinn shook her head as she texted him back.
Why would you want me to come?
-Q
It only took him a few seconds to respond.
I miss you.
-Finn
Oh great, I think it's Finn. Quinn shook her head, she really wasn't expecting this.
I don't think I want to go...sorry, I'm pretty busy tonight.
-Q
She couldn't just show up and know it was Finn, that would suck. Plus, she didn't really want to be with Finn again and then have him dump her yet again (for the third time) for Rachel.
Please Quinn, come...I have something for you.
-Finn
Oh great! She really didn't want to know what he had for her. Yet she asked anyway.
And what would that be?
-Q
She walked over to the shower and turned on the water before hearing her phone buzz and walking over to read the new text from Finn.
It's a surprise.
-Finn
Of course it is, Quinn thought as she sent him her reply.
Fine, I'll come, but I'm only staying for an hour or so.
-Q
Finn Hudson was not drawing her back in. She didn't care if he was the mystery person, she may be in love with that mystery person, but when Finn tells her it is him, she's gonna give him a piece of her mind. He can't just do this to her again, this time it wasn't gonna work.
Great, thanks Quinn you won't regret it :P
-Finn
Oh, I already do, her phone buzzed again and she looked at the message.
I can't wait to see you tonight...hope you can see me. :)
Quinn shook her head, "this is stupid." She said. "I can't see you if you don't tell me who the hell you are." She growled at her phone.
Oh, I'm sure I'll see you.
-Q
Quinn shut her phone off and set it down before getting ready for her shower.
Okay, so I had intended to only do four chapters, but I didn't want the ending chapter to be way too long, so instead I decided to do 5 chapters. So the next update will be the last chapter.
...I hope you enjoyed it
please let me know how I did...
...Thanks for reading, and please review...
