(A/N hope you enjoy)

Over the 19 years Quinn had known Katie, she had never been mad at her. Sure Katie was cleverer than Quinn, and she flirted a lot better than Quinn did. But nevertheless they were best friends and they took pride in the fact that they had never really fought. It all changed. In that moment Quinn could've strangled Katie with her bare hands.

They were standing there. Katie was continuously shouting at Sam, who was still in ore about the fact that Quinn loved him. She needed to run, sprint away and never see him again. She needed to do something at least

"LADIES& GENTLEMEN, if you could take your seats for the dinner". Oh thank God for Rachel and her attention seeking techniques.

Quinn pulled the intoxicated Katie to their seats. Sam was on the other side of the room, with Finn and Puck.

"Well, it seems all of my friends are letting me down today!" Quinn groaned before shooting down glasses of champagne.

"Quinn we're sorry, but he had that scary look on his face and I didn't like it" Brittany said with an innocent look on her face

"This sucks, all my friends abandoned me and when someone finally came to my rescue they told him that I love him"

By now Katie had sobered up "Again I'm sorry, but don't shout because I feel like I've got a thousand Rachel Berrys banging inside my head"

This loosened Quinn up a bit. She tried to forget about Sam and the previous awkwardness whilst she drank gallon after gallon of champagne with Blaine.

Once the dance floor had opened Quinn and Blaine were the first ones up, giggling uncontrollably. "Love Shack" played on the machine and the whole glee club got up and sung, reminiscing about Sugar's Love shack at Breadstix.

But then, the slow song. Lucky. Rachel thought it would be nice. Sam, whop up until now had managed to keep his hatred under his skin, stormed out and left the Glee club stunned, with Quinn welling up in the centre of the dance floor.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

The messy haired blonde woke up, hung-over, on the couch. She had the worst headache and was planning to stay in bed for the rest of eternity. But what Quinn hadn't anticipated was that Katie would use a fog horn to make sure that she was definitely not asleep. Katie accompanied the terrible sound with a high pitched screech.

"What the hell Katie?" Quinn moaned whilst throwing a pillow across the room

Katie plumped onto a kitchen chair and sipped the coffee that Quinn so desperately needed, "You looked so peaceful, so I decided to change that"

"Well thank you really, God my head" Quinn sat on the chair opposite Katie in order to glare and intimidate her for the fog horn incident. "What happened last night?"

"You got hammered, Sam stormed out and then we went home, pretty dull if you ask me"

"Oh God, I didn't try to kiss him did I?"

The thought of kissing Sam always made Katie laugh, because she could see no possible circumstance where someone would voluntarily do that,

"No you didn't, but the DJ played "Lucky" and he had some man hormones and left, I still don't get why he left"

"There's something I didn't tell you…"

Quinn felt a short sharp smack across the back of her head, followed by an enraged Katie

"YOU'RE supposed to tell me everything! Stupid ass"

"I'm telling you know okay? It was graduation day…we had gotten our diplomas and the glee club were hanging out in the choir room. Remember how we had to leave straight away because me, you San and Brit were going on holiday to California? Well when I was a little late to the airport, I didn't exactly tell you why…..

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Quinn still had difficulty walking after her accident. She could walk but it was more of a hobble. Nevertheless she was determined to walk and get her diploma, which she did, and she also said goodbye to her un-necessary wheelchair. Quinn was hobbling down the hallways of McKinley thinking of all of the things that happened here, she told Finn she was pregnant, she wore Sam's ring, she had wheeled down these halls as well. She heard a familiar voice call he. It was Sam

"QUINN". It was obvious that Sam hadn't prepared what he was going to say, nor did he wake up and think he was going to do this but it was know or never in his mind. He tripped as he ran down the hall but recovered quickly as he saw her breath- taking smile

"Guess I'm not the only one having trouble walking" she laughed.

"Yea. Don't go to California… stay here with me. We can spend the whole summer together…picnics and crap" he had gotten off track. HE HATED THAT. He always wanted to say something unbelievably romantic but he never could. He was to un- coordinated like that.

"What I mean is, we can be together, settle down, grow old and stuff. A family"

She was stunned. Each night she prayed for this and now it was here. She didn't want it. She wanted to forget Lima, she wanted adventure. She didn't need strings from her past life still attached to her new one. She was going to Yale with her best friends. Starting a new life.

"No, Sam I can't"

His heart broke, he couldn't hear the rest of her words. They all sounded like dribble to him. All he could do was stand there, taken aback and speechless. Before he knew it she was walking away from him, and the engagement ring he bought her had been untouched, and it remained in his pocket for the rest of his summer.

(A/N any complaints? Do say I don't mind :p having a teeny bit of writers block so if there is anything you want me to do, I am happy to write it for you :D
