Chapter 5

"Favourite colour?" I asked while lying on the couch with my arms wrapped around Quinn. It had been a complete week since, I had gotten that message. Since then nothing else had happened, I decided to write it off as a one-time thing. I knew I should asked the girls about it but I didn't want to freak them out again, we were all only just getting back to normal.

"Green," Quinn responded.

"Why green?"

"It's an earthy, natural and relaxing colour. I just need to see colour green and I am calm. No one else seems to like the colour green, which I don't get."

"I guess it's like my thing with blue," I comment.

"Why do you like blue so much?"

"Because it means swimming, water or sharks. Even though I've lived other places, nowhere has compared to Rosewood expect for here obviously. There was just something magical about Rosewood too me, I don't know whether it was because I would never have to move again and I could make friends. I'm not sure but it relaxes me, like you and the colour green."

I then asked, "What colour does green and blue together make?"

"I think it's just a litter blue."

"What like cyan?" I asked.

"I guess that could be the actual name," Quinn stood up and walked away, leaving me confused. We were currently at her house; it was a rare occasion where we were alone. Quinn's Mum was working late and I was going to stay as late as I was allowed too, which was only until ten. Quinn walked back into the room carrying her laptop, she explained she wanted to know or it would annoy her for the rest of the night.

Quinn said, "Here it is, it makes the colour Cyan."

"What does it mean as a colour?"

"The colour can be associated with making someone feel better and protection. Well that's just plain you," Quinn said.

"And you?"

"How so?"

"Well you've made my heart feel safe and your protecting it from anyone who may hurt it."

"Very smooth," Quinn said pecking my lips.

I continued to read "Also associated with good heath from exercise by going swimming. Okay maybe this colour is reading into my life."

"Just a little."

I pick back up with "This is because the water in a swimming pool is usually coloured cyan from having a plaster white bottom that reflects the blue sky. Swimming pool tiles are often coloured cyan to make the cyan colour of the water in a swimming pool more intense. I didn't know that about swimming pools."

"Me neither, I didn't realise colours could have so much meaning."

"Well they are just like people, people have a lot of meaning and colours should too."

"Such a wise person I am sitting with," I smiled across at Quinn shaking my head.

Quinn took over reading "Cyan can be restful calming colour that symbolizes relaxation, hey that's me."

I replied with "So you're green and my blue, we make cyan. A colour in which explains both aspects of us, if I didn't believe it before then I certainly do now. Quinn, we were meant to be together."

"Yeah," Quinn said with side smile.

Lying back down, I asked "What's your favourite movie?"

Quinn lay back down as well, resting her head on my shoulder and responded with "The Other Woman, all-time favourite movie. It funny, it's got Cameron Diaz, what more could you ask for?"

"That is very true."

"What's yours?"

"Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince."

"I didn't peg you as Harry Potter fan."

"Who isn't in this day and age, everyone is just waiting for their Hogwarts letters. Don't tell me you don't like the movies."

"No, I do. I did read all books."

"I read the first three but the swimming took up most of my time."

Quinn said, "So let me guess you're a Ravenclaw because it's got blue in their colours, it even has white."

"I'd see why'd you think so but Ravenclaws are also known for their intelligent academically, which I don't have much of. I don't really know which house I'd fit in. Not Slytherin, I don't think I'm brave enough to be Gryffindor but I am loyal like a Hufflepuff."

"Well there's your answer, you're a Hufflepuff. However, I do think you are brave enough to be a Gryffindor, the way you stuck up for Kurt and Rachel just last week. I also think you are intelligent to be a Ravenclaw; you can be in any house you want. Though Slytherin doesn't suit you, whatsoever."

"Thanks but you have to say that, but you're my girlfriend."

Quinn smiled and said "Maybe so but it's true. You are one of the unique people, who could be put into any house."

"Excluding Slytherin, of course."

"Of course," Quinn confirmed.

I asked, "Which house would you want to be in?"

"Which ever one has you in it."

"Cute but seriously, which house do you want?"

"I was being serious but I guess, I've always liked the idea of Gryffindor. Being brave enough to stand up to anything that comes your way, having the heart of a lion."

"It's decided, we will be Gryffindor's together, unless you want me to be something else."

"No, like I said. I wanted to be in whichever house you're in, we'll be Gryffindor's together."

"Cool."

Quinn asked, "Why do you like the Half Blood Prince so much?"

"It didn't really end happy, I guess. You were left wondering what would happen the next year, sure order was the same but the prince; nothing could beat the prince."

"Makes sense, I liked goblet the most. Emma Watson was stunning in that movie, as she is in most movies."

"Have a little crush on Emma Watson, do we?"

"Only a little one, you must have a celebrity crush."

"Of course."

"Who is it?"

"Anna Kendrick, have you seen those arms of hers."

"Yes, I have. They are okay, I guess," Quinn said reluctant.

I said, "But that's only a little celebrity crush, do you know who my big, big celebrity crush is?"

"No, who?" Quinn asked sounding hurt.

"Well they are incredible and extremely beautiful. A sense of humour that would put any comedian to shame," as I spoke, I rolled so I could lie on top of Quinn but careful not to hurt her.

I continued with "They have the most gorgeous and marvellous green eyes that I have ever seen in my life. With one single smile, she can make the world smile."

"Okay, stop. Who are you talking about?" Quinn asked annoyed.

I replied with "I thought it was obviously. Beautiful it's you."

"Oh," Quinn said her frown turning into smile.

"As I was saying, she has a voice like an angel. It is incredible just to hear her speak but too sing, well that's just phenomenal. Being with her is just pure joy; if you're having a bad day just seeing her will change your whole day. This is way Quinn Fabray, you are my big, big celebrity crush."

"I'm not a celebrity."

"You are to me beautiful," I say leaning forward to kiss Quinn's lips. Quinn wrapped her arms around my neck pulling me in closer to kiss her; I didn't have a problem whatsoever. As the build-up continues, this was our first heavy make-out session. I felt my arm begin to ache from holding my weight up for so long, without moving.

Dropping my arm into a relaxing precision I thought everything was okay until Quinn pulled back and yelled "No!" Panicked and scared, I stood up onto my feet and move back from Quinn. I didn't know what I had done wrong or what I could do, so I stood there waiting for Quinn to say something. Looking at Quinn she looked completely freaked, she had back herself up into the corner and her knees pressed to her chest. When Quinn stayed like that for another five minutes, still freaked out, I knew I needed to do something and I did the only thing I thought would help; sing.

Emily: "So long, I've been looking too hard, I've waiting too long. Sometimes I don't know what I will find; I only know it's a matter of time. When you love someone, when you love someone." Quinn's head turned to look at me and I took a deep breath as I went to continue the song.

Emily: "It feels so right, so warm and true; I need to know if you feel it too. Maybe, I'm wrong. Won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong, this heart of mine has been hurt before, this time I want to be sure." Walking across to the one-seater, I take a seat and stare at Quinn with deep love in my eyes.

Emily: "I've been waiting for a girl like you, to come into my life. I've been waiting for a girl like you, a love that will survive. I've been waiting for someone new, to make me feel alive. Yeah, waiting for a girl like you, to come into my life."

Emily: "When you love someone, yeah, really love someone. Now, I know it's right. From the moment, I wake up till deep in the night. There's no where on earth I'd rather be, then holding you, tenderly.

Emily and Quinn: "I've been waiting for a girl like you, to come into my life. I've been waiting for a girl like you, a love that will survive. I've been waiting for someone new, to make me feel alive. Yeah, waiting for a girl like you, to come into my life." I was happily surprised when Quinn sang the last of the song, with my voice and her angel like voice; it was incredible.

Speaking I say, "I'm sorry Quinn, I don't know what I did but I'm extremely sorry."

Quinn replied with "It's not your fault, it's mine," I watched as Quinn stood up and walked across to me. Sitting back in the chair, this allowed Quinn to sit in my lap and I wrapped my arms around her vulnerable shaking body.

"It's not your fault, can you tell me what went wrong?"

"The last time someone touched me their while making out, they got me pregnant and I lost the baby."

"Oh," I say realising what happened.

I then said "I just want to clear one thing up, no matter how much I talk like a guy, I am completely female. So, I can't actually get you pregnant, just had to clear that up. I'm sorry Quinn; I didn't mean to touch you anywhere that is uncomfortable for you I don't want to put you in any precision like that. I also want to say I'm not ready to go there yet; I only just had my first kiss last week and my first make-out session today. I don't want to rush things with us, I want to do everything right, right by me, right by you and right by us."

"I know you can't get me pregnant Emily and I know you didn't mean to. Your arms were probably just hurting from holding your weight up, so you relaxed and I freak out. I didn't mean to freak out like I did, just everything that happen with Puck was a lot."

"I understand that. I don't want to put any pressure on you to talk about what you went through or to have sex. We don't need to rush anything; we can do everything at a speed we are comfortable with."

Quinn asked, "So you don't mind playing the get to know you game for a while?"

"Heck no, I like playing that game. It gives me the chance to know all your favourite things and I can use them for future references."

"Very smooth."

"Thank-you."

I then asked, "Are you okay?"

"I will be. I'm still continuing with my counselling every Tuesday with Ms Pillsbury; she's actually very helpful to talk to about this. It feels good to have someone to talk to about it."

"I'm glad you feel comfortable to talk to Ms Pillsbury and you found that person. If you ever need to talk to me, you should know I'm only a phone call away."

"I know you are sweetie," Quinn said pecking my lips before standing up.

I asked "Where are you going?"

"I'm just going to get cleaned up, I didn't realise I had actually cried."

"Sorry."

"You did nothing wrong."

"Technically I did, hey, can I grab a bottle of water from your fridge?"

"Of course, you can," Quinn threw back as she left the room. Standing up from the seat, I was making my way into the kitchen when I heard the doorbell ring. I wasn't sure what to do since this wasn't my house, it wasn't until I heard Quinn shout if I could get, yelling back that I could. I walked back through house to the front door and opened to reveal Brittany and Santana standing there with two pizza boxes, also a bag of breadsticks.

"Hey," I say surprised to see them.

Santana said "We thought you guys might be hungry," she gestured towards the pizza boxes.

"Sure, come in, I guess," I say not really sure but offering them into the house.

Brittany asked "Where's Quinn?"

I responded with "Ah, she's upstairs getting cleaned up."

"Oh, did you have lady kissing time?" Brittany asked.

"Not sure, here let me take these and I'll find some plates," taking the pizza boxes and bag from the pair I make my way back towards the kitchen. Busying myself in the kitchen, I didn't think anyone had followed me it wasn't until I looked up to see Santana standing there that I jumped.

"Sorry."

"It's okay, I was in my head."

"You seem to do that a lot," Santana noticed.

"I just tend to overthink things a lot."

"Understandable, what happened?"

"We just got freaked out, I think, I don't really know."

"Explain," Santana said with no judgement.

"We were making out, which was going fine and then I accidently touch somewhere I shouldn't and it freaked Quinn out. She went quiet, huddle into the back of the couch and started crying. I didn't know what else to do, so I sang and that helped. I think we are just realising how intense this thing is between us, really is."

"How can you tell so soon? You've only been dating for a week."

"And I already don't want to spend any time away from her, like my heart hurts when I'm not with her."

"Wow that's intense," Santana said while opening a pizza box and grabbing out a slice.

Santana questioned "Maybe it's the lesbians urge to merge?"

"Wait that actually exists?" I asked while eating my own piece of pizza.

"Sure does, Britt and I find ourselves doing stuff together all the time. Maybe we should start spending less time together with our couple and with other people."

"What like you and I hang out?"

"Yeah," Santana spoke with a shrug.

"What would we do?"

"Talk about our girls," Santana smirked making me laugh.

I replied with "Yeah, if we did that it wouldn't work for very long."

"You could teach me to swim, like you do. We could go running together."

"Are you trying to tell me I'm fat?"

"Yes, I thought it was time to bring it up. I can't believe how fat you are," looking up at Santana it didn't take us long to burst out laughing.

I replied with "I guess it wouldn't hurt to try but I also need to take Quinn out, we haven't even really had a first date."

"Got any ideas?"

"Always, the only thing I'm really good at is planning."

"Well that's good because I am terrible at it."

"Where was your first date with Brittany?"

"Britt loves ducks, so it didn't take a genius to work out that was the best place to take her. It was simple, sweet and Britt loved it; win-win."

"Nice," I say very impressed but also happy for the pair.

Santana asked, "Can I ask you a question?"

"Of course, I'm not afraid of answering most questions."

"How did your relationship with Alison even work?"

"I guess it didn't really, not in the way we thought it would. We just thought we could go from being friends to something more but it just felt awkward."

"So if you hadn't of moved?"

"We still would've broken up and been good friends. Like I said, I had my chance to date Alison and it didn't work out, why should I be bitter about it and lose friends over it."

"But now your friend Spencer and she are getting together, doesn't that hurt?"

"Nope, why should it? Alison and I are better than friend, if Alison finds true happiness with Spencer and vice versa then I'm happy for the pair. Besides, I'm now dating someone else who is incredible and Alison is happy for me."

"How is she doing Alison?" Santana asked concerned about Alison.

"I spoke to Hanna last night. She back in counselling, much to her disgusted but everyone is under the agreement she needs it. Spencer has seen Alison a couple of times but it's been awkward, Hanna thinks Spencer hasn't said anything because she wants Alison to get better first. Which makes sense but doesn't at the same time, when the one thing Alison wants to hear is that Spencer's not going to leave her. I've tried calling Spencer but she's dodging my calls, which leaves it up to Hanna to try help out."

"Your friends are complicated."

"I wouldn't have it any other," I smiled across at Santana

"Hey is there any pizza left?" Brittany asked walking into the kitchen with Quinn behind her.

I asked Santana "Is it time to go running?"

"Oh shut up," Santana said smacking the back of my head making me laugh and Quinn rush to my side. I laughed when Brittany smacked Santana on her head for being mean to, I burst when Brittany made Santana apologise to me.

"You okay?" I asked while leaning against the counter bench with Quinn standing in front of me.

"Yeah, I was thinking of having a movie marathon with Brittany this weekend if that's okay?"

"Sure it is, Santana and I were going to go running anyway."

"Hey, I never fully agreed," Santana said complaining. Giving a Santana a look, she smiled and nodded her head seeming to understand.

Brittany asked "Pizza, movies?"

"Sounds good," Quinn said grabbing a pizza box and following Brittany out of the room.

Santana said "Maybe Britts suggest the same thing, I'll ask her later."

"Nah, I don't want it to seem like I'm going behind Quinn's back. You don't have to hang out with me this weekend, I'm sure Dad needs help around the house."

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"

"I don't know, you seemed to go from happy to sad suddenly."

"Nope, all good. Here, I'll just grab a bottle of water," I say handing the other pizza box to Santana.

"Don't forget the breadsticks," I nod and watch as Santana leaves the room. Crossing to the fridge, I opened it looking for a water bottle and just as I pick it up I felt my phone vibrate. Pulling it out, I don't take any notice of the number and just unlock my phone to read the text.
-Unknown
Isn't young love sweet, watch out sweetie I can get jealous –A

Dropping my phone extremely hard on the bench, I stepped back and took serval deep breaths trying to calm my racing heart. What did this mean? I couldn't comprehend what was really going on, not in this house, not with the girls in the other room.

"Yo Fields! Bring those breadsticks, pronto!" I heard Santana yell snapping me back to some form of reality. Take more deep breaths, I close the text and shove my phone back into my pocket. Headed back into the lounge room, where the girls were waiting for me, I decided to try and forget the text; just enjoy the time.

"Hey Mr Schue, you wanted to see," I say knocking on his open door. He had messaged me this morning, telling me to come see him at lunch or when free, lunch was easier to do since I need study period to actually study.

"Yes, come in," he instructed getting up to welcome me and move to close the door.

Mr Schue asked "How are you?"

"I'm good."

"That's good, good classes this morning?"

"Yeah, they were alright."

"I just wanted to have a chat to you about your Spanish work."

"I know I'm far behind but I've never done Spanish before and you talk really fast, I don't always pick up what you're saying. Santana's been helping me out a bit."

"I'm sorry you've been struggling, I had picked it up but I didn't want to say anything in case it was just getting use to a new school. Is Santana helping you learn Spanish better than me?"

"Yeah. you're a great teacher and all, Santana just talks at a speed I can handle."

"Okay, I'll propose this to you. What if you and Santana were to go to the library for a couple of my lesson a week to study? I'll still help you out if need, it'll only be twice a week."

"If it helps my work, I'm up for it but I don't know about Santana."

"I'm sure she won't mind."

"I can ask her, she'll probably say yes if it's coming from me."

"Alright but if Santana doesn't work, we could find someone else. Rachel has picked up Spanish very quickly and can probably teach it."

"Okay was that all?" I asked not sure.

Mr Schue said, "I was also going to ask you about your assignment, everyone's almost performed there's only you, Sam, Puck and Tina left."

"Sort of, I've kind of made up my own song. I wanted it to be personal you know, so what better way than making it about me. Is that okay?"

"That's more than okay, when were you thinking of performing?"

"I can today but would someone be able to film it."

"Odd request, most kids don't want to be filmed."

"Don't get me wrong, I don't like being on camera but it's for my Dad. He hasn't really heard me sing, only things around the house but nothing I really care about. His currently back in Texas for another week and he really wants to hear me sing this song. So, do my friends back in Rosewood."

"Oh, well then sure. I can arrange Artie to bring his camera and be ready to film."

I asked "Can I also perform in the auditrom? Better vibe in there."

"Sure thing, I think Puck said he wanted to perform in there to."

"Awesome, sorry if it's difficult."

"It's not," Mr Schue said confirming.

"See you this afternoon," I say awkwardly leaving his office to go join Quinn, Santana and Brittany in the cafeteria for the last few minutes of lunch.

Sitting in the auditrom as we watch Puck perform American Idiot by Green day, I guess it made sense but I wasn't really listening. I was going over lyrics in my head and making sure I knew them all. Feeling a peck against my cheek I looked down to see Quinn smiling up at me from her snuggled up precision, she looked so adorable.

Last night had been alright, we were a little awkward but it all washed away after a few kisses here and there. Brittany had ended up driving me home since it made more sense than for Quinn to if Brittany was going that way. Conversations with Brittany were always interesting and I enjoyed them, quite a lot.
Mr Schue spoke after everyone finished clapping Pucks performance "Alright Puck, great job," they high-fived awkwardly as Puck stepped down off the stage and took a seat next to Sam.

"Up next Emily," he pointed at me and I stood up much to Quinn's disappointment. Even though I had needed the study time during my study period I had been here with the band going over how I want the music to sound, they thrilled for the new challenge. Going to the drummer and guitarist, I went over it with them quickly to make sure they remember. After that I walked to the edge of the stage were all the lights and production stuff was kept, I put my USB into the laptop and waited. After a lot of loading and other stuff, eight faces finally appeared on the screen. When everything was set up how I want it, I went and stood in the middle stage.

Into my microphone I asked "Artie, we good to go?"

"All good," Artie said giving me the thumbs up as he began to record me.

I spoke "Mr Schue and I talked last week about how I was uncomfortable with the group assignment and how I didn't want to do it. So instead of writing this week off he gave a new assignment about leaving and moving to a new place or having a military father. I accepted the challenge but I couldn't find a song that best suited me and my decision, so with a lot of hard work and finding the right way I managed to come up with a little song. Don't worry about Artie, he is just recording this from my Dad who is currently away on duty and hasn't heard me sing yet, also for my other friends. I hope you enjoy the song," I nod and turn my back to them but look up at the eight faces.

Slowly the drummer hit the top of hi-hat for around of five beat, keeping one stick on the hi-hats he brought in the snare drum on every second beat and lastly on the third beat he brought in the bass drum. After a count of four drum solo set the guitar came in slowly but matching to the drums speed, which was a medium pace. A final breath, I turned and faced everyone.

Emily: "In my hometown, I could swim; win medals and trophies galore because I was the fastest they'd ever seen before. Nobody could beat me in my hometown, strongest competitor P.M, always a challenging competitor but a better friend of mine," P.M stood for Paige McCullers because I didn't have permission to use anyone's name in my song, I decided to do initials.

Emily: "In my hometown, I met a girl, A.D; she had crystal blue eyes and a heart that had been broken many times before. People said she was crazy but nah, she was just dealing with something no one could understand. As we grew up together, we changed and shaped each other for the world ahead of us. We tried dating once but friendship was a better solution in the end," A.D was Alison DiLaurentis.

Emily: "In my hometown three girls came into my life in unique ways, which will never be forgotten. H.M, S.H, A.M. They each showed me something different and brought a new part of me out onto the surface during every conversation, which are still funny and interesting to this day. They don't understand the importance of our friendship but I sure do. My home boy, T.C what a guy, he protected me from all the bad that this world could provide me. He was my older brother and I his little sister, I look up to him and love him dearly." H.M is Hanna Marin, S.H is Spencer Hastings, A.M is Aria Montgomery and T.C was Toby Cavanaugh.

Emily: "One day in my hometown, my parents tell me with tears running down their faces that we have to move. I don't want to leave, especially because we are moving to a town with no pool; that just aint right. Suddenly medals and trophies are in boxes, final photos and goodbyes are being said. Swimming in a pool one last time before leaving for good, my coach tells me once a shark; always a shark and nothing will ever change that."

Taking off my jacket and throwing to side stage, I reveal I am wearing my sharks anchor shirt and have two medals around my neck and pushed into view behind by a couple of band members that like me are two of my trophies I have won from swimming. As the beat picks up, I'm really getting into the song really proud of how it's turning out. I do a couple of cheesy dance moves before doing two back flips in a-row and then a couple side ones. Quickly the photos on the screen change to pictures of Lima and some people in the school, I want to set the scene that this was me traveling to Lima from Rosewood. The beat slow down, giving me a chance to take serval deep breaths and prepare myself for the rest of the song.

Emily: "Arriving in our new town, my new town that didn't feel like home. Painted my room blue and white, always a shark never a titan, sorry that's the way it goes; always do what coach tells you to do. Soon walking to a new school, nervous as ever before because everything seemed different, you guys don't even have a swim team."

I stripped myself of my medals, placing the carefully on the ground and the trophies were pulled out of sight. Knowing the next bit of the song was were interaction was to begin, I did a very dramatic run to the edge of the stage and jump. Doing a twist mid-air before safety landing on me, in front of the stage liked planned and rehearsed a couple of times. Moving I quickly stood in front of Rachel, seeing as I was taller than her I quickly kneeled down in front of her.

Emily: "First person I meet at my new school, small and talks faster than anyone I have ever met. She seems nice enough, invites me to join glee club, R-star. She walked me to my locker, but then she got slushed which is a new form of bullying here, that I aint seen anywhere before. I'm warned to be careful who I become friends with. I didn't understand what happened or why they had done that to someone who seemed nice enough at the time and still is. Don't you worry R-Star one day you'll be a big Broadway Star, all who stood by and watch you get bullied will rue the day they did mess with you."

I knew these words would affect Quinn and Santana but they had to believe I didn't mean them to hurt them; I just want to boost Rachel up so she never gave up on her dream; all because of some bullying. Standing back up I twirled until I was standing in front of Brittany, Santana and Quinn, I smiled at them and they did smile back.

Emily: "Soon after that I meet the three people who made this place without a pool seem okay. B.P, S.L and Q.F, three people who changed everything in a matter of seconds, they helped me join glee club, enjoy dancing with me, amazed at my swimming ability and help me with anything I may need. I am incredibly grateful to these three people, who changed everything in a matter of seconds."

I made sure to side step, so during this portion of the song I at least stood in front of each of them and not just one of them. Winking at Quinn before running and doing front-flip to land on my feet in front of a very surprised Kurt, smiling at him I knelt down in front of him and caught my breath again.

Emily: "This place aint like Rosewood, kids get picked on for any reason the bully sees fit. K.H, most inspiring guy I have met here. He is not afraid to stand up and be proud of who he is. Sadly, others don't get that, which makes me mad. Teachers aren't listening to my pleas, turning their backs and walking away from a kid in trouble; that aint right. Don't worry K.H, if you need me I'll be there, ready to fight and protect you from the idiot of the month that decided to mess with you." Kurt bowed his head grateful to me for the offer of protecting, he probably wouldn't use it but I was there if he needed it.

Standing back up, I did a slide-shimmy back over to where the girls were sitting but this time I offered my hand out to Quinn. When Quinn took my hand, I pulled her out of her seat and lead her up onto the stage; where a stool had now been placed in the middle. Leaving Quinn sitting on the stool, I run to the wing where a guy handed me a crown made out holly. Dancing smoothly over to Quinn, I placed the crown upon her head and peck her cheek. With Quinn's smiling face, I took her hand in mine and swung it as I got ready for the last part of the song.

Emily: "Q.F made this place without a swimming pool feel like my hometown; somewhere that I belonged. While Rosewood is still a place I can call home, and will live in my heart, forever. I now have more room for Lima in my very big heart. E.F, out!" As the song end with a loud crash on the cymbals by the drum, I raised my hand to the air and paused like that; with the light dropping all at the same time.

As I held my precision after a song like I had seen many artists do after song, everyone else stood up, clapped and shouts out words of encouragement. After standing still for a minute and a few seconds, I stepped back to and smiled as I realised how well everything had gone. I hoped Artie had managed to get everything on film but I'd be happy to perform that song again and again.

Quinn stood up from her stool and gave me a big hug, she then asked, "Why a crown?"

"It was going to be flowers but I couldn't find any green flower and I saw a crown made out of holly which seemed perfect."

"I would've been happy with flowers."

"I'll remember that for next time," I say putting that in my note file I was keeping in my head about Quinn.

"Artie, how'd we go?" I asked looking out at Artie.

"Really good, I'll get you the film tomorrow. How many copies do you need?"

"Is ten too many?"

"No easy done, just let me know if you need more."

"Sure thing and thank-you," I nod my head to him.

Mr Schue walked up onto stage and said "Well damm, now that's how you do a song and the production value."

"It wasn't really much; I just want to make it special." Pulling myself out of Quinn's arms, I walked over to the band and thanked then individually for their efforts on this song.

Mr Schue asked, "Anyone else want to perform?"

Tina raised her hand and spoke "It'll be hard but I'm ready with my song Mr Schue."

"Alright, come on up Tina," Mr Schue said while also instructing Quinn and I to sit down. Walking of the stage, I received a quick side hug from Rachel followed by Kurt who once again nodded his head at me. Walking over to our seats, Brittany stood up and hugged me; squeezing the life out of me. While Santana just stuck with a handshake and head nod of understanding. Sitting down as Tina began to sing a song I didn't know, I leaned my head-on Quinn's shoulder feeling tired from my performance. I felt Quinn smile down at me as she moved her arm to wrap around my shoulder; it was my turn to snuggle up to Quinn.

When Tina finished singing everyone clapped her performance, I had felt bad that I hadn't paid attention. Sam still need another day to practice his song, so after that Mr Schue dismissed us all and he left quickly.

"Breadsticks?" Santana asked.

Quinn replied with "I'm in, Emily."

Yawning, I replied with "I might give it a miss, sorry I was up late last night perfecting every detail of this song."

"It's okay, do you need a lift?"

"No, I've got the family car today since Mum didn't need it today. I had to get my trophies here somehow."

"Right," Quinn said remember my trophies.

Brittany suggested "We will help you carry everything to your car."

"Thanks but you don't need to," I say feeling bad.

"Nope we are doing it, no one said no to Brittany remember," Santana said already heading to the back. Shaking my head Quinn and I followed them to the back of the stage where my trophies, medals and other things that were mine I had used.

Quinn said as the four of us walk out to the parking lot "Your song really was good."

Santana added "Yeah who knew you could write."

"It was just a case of telling the story of the people I met in Rosewood and had to leave behind, coming here and meeting you guys. It wrote itself really."

"Then why were you up late last night?" Brittany questioned.

I replied with "Because I am perfectionist with this sort of stuff. Unlocking the car, I opened the boot and side door and went to help place everything in so it wouldn't get damaged.

"See you tomorrow," Santana said as she and Brittany walked away to her car.

I noticed "You're cold."

"Am not," Quinn said but shriving didn't help. Smiling I leant back into the car and pull my Rosewood high swim jacket out. Carefully I wrap it around Quinn and she reluctantly puts it on.

"You love this jacket."

"I do, which is why I'm only letting you borrow it. I know it's safe with you, I also have another two spare just so you."

"Well thank-you for keeping me warm."

"Anytime beautiful," I straighten the jacket a little.

"I better let you go, see you tomorrow?"

"You know it," I say with a smile. Quinn leant forward to peck my lips before she turned to walk to her car, I didn't move until I knew she was safely in her car and was okay. Opening the front door, I almost screamed when I saw a post-it note on my steering wheel, it wasn't scary but when you didn't know it was there then it was. Pulling it off so I could read, the message sent chills down my spine.

Crumbling it up into a paper bowl in which was shoved into my pocket, I started the car up and began driving home on autopilot as I thought about M.V some more.
