Chapter 12
Sam was away from school sick all week, Quinn desperately wanted to go see him but he refused. It wasn't that he didn't want her company, as much as he did, he didn't want her to catch whatever infection he had. The substitute for media studies wasn't quite as good looking or fun, but at least Quinn caught up in the class, without any distractions. She made good friends with Laura. Ever since her little run in with her at Sams house, accusing him of cheating on her, she felt bad for the closeted girl. Quinn felt bad, knowing her secret. She and Laura sat with each other at lunch time, they were always partners in activities in English, which they always share and sometimes Laura would call Quinn for help. Laura would sometimes go to Sams house, Quinn trusted him more than anything ever since he told her he loved her. That whole night she couldn't stop saying those words over and over again to herself. Sure they were together and they liked each other a lot but she never thought the words I love you would come into the matter. It had nearly been 6 months into their relationship and they hadn't been anywhere near caught except when Sam would shoot his obvious dagger glares at boys who would flirt with Quinn in the hallway or in class. She would just turn to him, smiling. They still haven't done the deed; Quinn was still uncomfortable with her body. The Parent teacher meeting was cancelled to Quinn as her parents had a fight the night before, causing her father to go out and drink. Quinn told Sam, he understood. A bit of her was relieved because she still wasn't ready for him to meet her parents yet. Even if he was just meeting them as a teacher.
Quinn wanted to see her boyfriend; she hadn't seen him in nearly 6 days. So she invited Laura over for dinner and a sleep over at her house. Quinn got out of the shower and threw on a navy blue dress with a thin white belt around her waist; she blow dries her hair and fixes it up before the arrival of her new best friend. Laura had another 20 minutes until she got there, Quinns parents were downstairs cooking dinner as Kiara was watching 5pm soap operas. Quinns mom was a fan of the Young and the Restless, so Quinn and Kiara grew on that. Quinn pulled out her phone and decided to text Sam.

Next thing you know, Quinn heard the doorbell from downstairs. As much as she loved Laura right now she was being a total cockblocker. Quinn ran downstairs, her parents answered the door.
"Hi, you must be Laura. Come in and have a seat at the table, dinner is nearly ready." Quinns mother smiled, holding onto the girls arm and bring her inside. "This is my husband Russell and our youngest daughter Kiara in the lounge room." Quinns mother and father both talking to the red headed girl; Quinn walked up to them and cleared the throat.
"Hey Laur, sorry about my parents, they like company." Quinn smiled, her parents both laughed.
"It's rare we ever get any of our Quinnies friends over. She's always out at her friend Santanas place but she never comes here." Quinns mom said sipping on a glass of coffee. They all sat at the dinner table, Quinns mom serving the plates. "Kiara honey, Dinner is up." The bubbly blonde haired girl ran over to the dinner table, sitting next to Laura.
"Hi, what's your name?" The sweet little girl asked Laura.
"Hi sweetie, I'm Laura." Laura said, smiling sweetly at the little girl. Kiara was a mini version of Quinn. Once dinner was served, chicken burgers with salad, fries, they all engaged in conversation. Kiara asking Laura many questions, Quinn and Laura talking about school, Quinn's parents talking about work and life. They all looked up to the sound of Russell Fabray banging his spoon against his wine glass.
"Okay, since this is our first dinner as a family and a guest in a long time, I would like to make an announcement." Quinns father stood up, smiling at everyone at the table.
"My boss offered me a promotion. I accepted. We are moving to Arizona in a months' time." He sounded so proud, until everyone started shouting.
"Russell you could have talked to me about this." "Daddy I have college next year, I want to get into UCLA, I can't go to some mediocre college in Arizona!" "Yayyyyyy I get to go to a new school! And meet new friends!" The rest of the Fabrays yelled. Laura sat there awkwardly in silence.
"Judy dear, we will talk about this later. Quinn, there are so many amazing colleges in Arizona. Kiara honey, I'm glad you're up for this." Russell said trying to calm down his family. The rest of the dinner went silent, awkward for both Quinn and Laura.
"Dad I'm not moving to Arizona." Quinn dropped her cutlery and yelled across the table.
"Quinn-"
"I'M NOT MOVING!" Quinn yelled.
"Young lady you will do what we say, we have raised you to respect us and our decisions so you ARE moving." Her father started to get angry.
"I HAVE A BOYFRIEND!" Quinn blurted out. Everyone went silent.
"A boy isn't going to change our mind Quinn. Not for a silly boy." Russell interjected.
"No, he's more than a silly boy ok? I actually love him and you will respect my decision. I'm 18 and I'm choosing to stay here." Quinn yelled. Her mother felt sympathy for her, but she didn't want her daughter to run away for a boy, she would know.
"Quinn, sweetie. Why didn't you tell us about this boy?" Her mother said, sipping on her drink.
"Because, I knew you would get mad at me." Quinn looked at Laura, Laura knew this was the indication to go upstairs, so she did and took Kiara with her.
"Mad? Is this where you have been sneaking off to all these months? Lying to us Quinn?" Her father yelled. If they knew he was her teacher, she would be six feet under. "Quinn Fabray, look at me right now and tell me you haven't been sneaking out, sleeping around with this boy? We taught you better than this!" Mr Fabray shouted.
"No I haven't been sleeping around with him! I love him okay? He loves me and respects me too much to hurt me. If you love me and respect me you wouldn't want me to go with you to Arizona!" Quinn shouted in return.
"Why haven't we met him sweetie?" Her mom was trying to sound like the supporting parent.
"Because why would I bring him home to a house like this!" Quinn threw her napkin, stormed upstairs in tears, walking into her room. Laura was sitting on her bed frowning. Quinn wiped her face, forgetting she had company.
"I'm so sorry Laura...I didn't mean for you to see this. I'm so sorry." Quinn walked up to her and sat down, Laura leaned over to hug her.
"It's okay Q, my parents aren't The Brady Bunch either." Laura hugged her, smiling.
"Thank you so much." Quinn returned the hug and wiped her face pulling back.
"I put Kiara to bed, she's the cutest kid." Laura laughed. "Hey Q..." Quinn shot up to look at Laura.
"If I tell you something will you promise not to tell anyone?" Laura asked, Quinn nodded, even though she knew where this secret was going. "I...I'm gay." Laura looked down, Quinn smiled and hugged her.
"It's okay Laura; you don't need to be ashamed of yourself. I will accept you for who you are." Quinn smiled.
"I like that Santana girl, she's really pretty. She's mean but it's kind of hot at the same time. I'm too nervous to say anything because she's the only girl out of the closet right now." Laura smiled.
"Well...just tell her. She won't upset you because she's in the same boat." Quinn laughed. "Here i'll text her." Laura tried to take her phone away, but after Quinn sent it. Laura didn't turn back.
"So who's your boyfriend? Is it that Finn Hudson? He's pretty cute I guess but he went out with Rachel so he might be a bit weird." Laura laughed. Quinn needed to tell someone that wasn't her little sister, Laura told Quinn her secret, Quinn was about to tell Laura hers.
"Hey Laur, can you keep a secret?" Quinn laughed nervously.
"Sure Q, anything." Laura smiled.
"M-my boyfriend, It's a bit complicated. We have to hide our relationship; we've been dating for the past 6 months. He can't take me out in public; he can't kiss me unless it's in a secure area with no one around, I love him so much I just want to yell it out to the world." Quinn started to cry at that point. She hasn't told anyone this, not even Sam.
"W-who Q? I'm sure it's not that bad." Oh its bad Quinn thought.
"M...Mr Evans..." Quinn looked down. Laura looked at her in shock.
"S-so that's why you were at his house that night?" Laura asked, going from shock to a smile.
"Yeah, I thought he was cheating on me with you. Now I know why he wasn't." Quinn laughs. "That was the night he told me he loved me for the first time. " Laura pulled her into a hug. Quinn instantly knew she wouldn't tell anyone.
"I always thought he was cute, you two make an amazing couple. After college rolls around, you can make it official. After all, you're leaving this year." Quinn realized she only had to hide Sam for another 5 months, until graduation.
"Thank you...for being here. I needed to tell someone it's been driving me insane." Quinn said, receiving a reply from Santana.
Laura? She's really hot, give her my number and we will talk xox
Quinn instantly showed Laura the message, Laura squealed and stayed up all night texting Santana. Quinn texted Sam but she got no reply. Aw poor sick baby is asleep She thought.
A/N: Someone said they wanted more of Quinns home life so here, I'll put another chapter up ASAP because it's another work day and I'm writing hehe. Yay or nay? I promise I'll do more of Sam's life!
