Rumor Has It / Someone Like You Chapter 24
QPOV
"Quinnie can you come here please?" I heard my mom say from downstairs. I closed the book I was reading and made my way down to her.
Rachel was teaching a toddler dancing class with Brittany at the rec center and I was wasting a little time before I had to go pick her up.
"Que pasa mama?" I said entering the living room where she sat with a stack of envelopes.
She handed me three of them and looked at me.
I looked at the three of them and they were from Columbia, Stanford and Yale. My heart stopped and my vision clouded.
"Mom" I whispered
"Its okay baby, whatever they say it'll be okay" she said.
I held onto them tighter and closed my eyes. "I imagine you'll want to open them with Rachel"
I nodded and kissed her cheek. "I'll text you the results"
I walked to the door grabbed my car keys and a jacket.

Class just ended when Quinn entered the rec center. She greeted a few of the kids she play sports with when she's here on weekends and said hi to some of the parents as well.
"Great work today kids. See you all tomorrow" I said
Brittany helped the 6 of them put their shoes on as their parents came to collect them.
"Hey. I'm just about ready" I said walking up to Quinn.
"Take your time" she said coming to meet me. She kissed my cheek and walked towards Otis' office.
15 minutes later all our kids were gone or with their parents or guardians so we could leave. Brittany put her bag around her back and came up to me.
"Hey shorty, need a ride?" She asked
I shook my head taking a sip of water "Quinn's here" I informed her.
"Oh where is she? I'll wait around to say hello"
"There she is" I reply pointing to her hugging Otis outside his office.
"Something's changed" Brittany said watching Quinn walk up to us.
"What do you mean?" I asked taking my eyes off Quinn to look at her.
Brittany shrugged "something is different I suppose you'll find out what soon though"
"How are my two favorite sweaty ladies" Quinn said kissing Brittany's cheek then pecking me on the lips.
"Just what you said...sweaty" Brittany answered.
"You going home with us B or is San meeting you here?" Quinn asked playing with the hem of the shirt I am wearing her eyes never met my gaze like they usually did and I knew something was wrong.
"Neither actually. My car is outside"
"Oh well Rach and I will walk you to your car then"
"What are you guys up to now?" She asked opening her car door.
I shrugged and looked at Quinn she was after all the driver here. "Not 100% sure yet" she answered.
"Oh well have fun" she said closing the door and blowing us a kiss.
QPOV
I put the car in park and turned to face Rachel. We were at the park closest to the rec center, not too far from the road where Santana's grandmother lived.
"What are we doing here?" she asked confused.
"I need to show you something" I said opening the door and taking out the envelopes with me. I watched as she did the same then put the alarm on the car. We walked to the closest bench and sat down and I handed her the envelopes. She looked at them all then back up at me.
"Quinn these are…"
"I know" I replied "I needed you with me when I found out" I said
She looked at me in disbelief. "Are you sure?"
I nodded and watched as she pulled the Columbia letter open. Her eyes ran across the paper and her spirits fell. She shook her head and I felt my heart sank. "I'm so sorry Quinn"
I shook it off "Its okay, there are two others in your hands"
She pulled the Yale letter open next. Again her facial expression dropped and then she smiled brightly. "You got in"
Elation overcame me then realization of just how far I would be from her.
"Do the last one" I said crossing my fingers. She ripped it open and read the letter. She took forever reading it, most likely rereading it.
"Rach?" I said watching her.
"You got in" she said not so happily.
"Its too far away" I said putting her my hand on her cheek.
She looked up at me and tried to keep the smile on her face.
"It is. I know" I said
"I'm thrilled for you, you must know that" she said
I nodded and pulled her lips to mine. "I know you are, but it doesn't change the fact that we might be apart" I said. "I still have NYU, Fordham and NYFA" I said reassuringly.
She faked another smile. "I know, but-"
"No buts woman"
"What if we end up going to two places too far to keep us going?" she asked.
"See that's where you're talking stupid. There's nowhere I would be on this earth that won't want me to be with you. The distance would just make me want to work for us harder"
"You promise?" she asked in a soft voice. I put my lips against hers again transferring as much love as I can to her.
"With all my heart"
I'm pretty sure you can see where this is going. If not, sucks to be you, you'll just have to wait until I update. More to come soon.
Specks :)
