The day of the wedding
Quinn and Katie had been shoved into the room where Rachel was getting ready. They had to admit she looked gorgeous. And she did, although anything was better than her high school 'librarian chic'
"What do you think girls? Do I look good?" inquired Rachel who knew she looked gorgeous but was just fishing for compliments.
She was flooded with compliments from her four other bridesmaids, not even noticing that Quinn and Katie were just playing thumb wars on the couch in the corner of the room.
"Now, Freya you'll walk down the aisle with Blaine, Jess with Kurt, Phoebe with Mike, Lola with Matt, Katie with Finn and because Quinn is maid of honour she'll walk down with the best man Sam. Okay places everybody, let's get me married!"
The other bridesmaids followed Rachel like ducks in a row. Quinn and Katie lagged behind, not wanting to be there
"Trust Rachel to make me walk down the aisle with Sam"
"She thinks you two will magically get back together, I on the other hand, don't want to have to fight him for your love"
"Come on, let's rock this aisle K, and then get drunk at the reception"
The all walked down the aisle in order. After Rachel had gone down with her dads the ceremony started. Despite the fact that it was Rachel Berry, even Katie thought it was quite romantic.
They read their vows. The main gist of it was that they were happy that after all of the obstacles in their way, that they finally made it to this ending and that they couldn't be happier. Katie nudged Quinn, trying to show her that Sam was leering at her. Quinn played it cool, even though the vows that were being read out were so relevant to Sam and Quinn's failed relationship.
It was finally the reception. Everyone was having fun and dancing. Quinn and Katie anticipated this evening to be completely horrific, but once the champagne kicked in. People were having a good time and Katie and Quinn were dancing together claiming that 'Brit and San weren't the only ones who could fall for they're best friends'.
Then "fix you" played on the radio. Katie and Quinn had planned to just dance with each other again, until someone stepped in.
"Hey K, can I steal you dance partner" smiled Sam
She was feistier when drunk, but instead of pushing Sam away she stepped aside although not before being mean again, just in case this was the last time she saw him.
"Yes 'S', you can have my partner, but if you're gonna give me a nickname might I suggest 'girl who you should be very afraid of'" She stumbled off and grabbed Blaine making him dance with her instead.
"She gets meaner with age"
Quinn looked down whilst slow dancing with him "I dunno, remember the time in senior year when you came back from Tennessee and you had died your hair a bit more brunette. And she got mad because she could no longer make any rude references to your really blonde hair, so she bought that tub of yellow paint and…."
Sam joined in with her "painted my hair with it…."
They felt really in sync at that moment like they belonged. But Sam ruined it. He just had to ask
"Why did you say no?"
She tried to back out of the dance in order to not answer that question. He pulled her waist and wouldn't let her leave.
"You're gonna have to answer me some time Quinn"
"Um, Sam this is so awkward" she looked into his eyes and realised that he deserved to know the truth. Why she said no
"Firstly, I was so close to saying yes, if that makes you feel any better. Secondly, I was dating someone at that time. I hadn't told anyone minus Katie. But I met him when I was looking at Yale as a possible college choice. We talked on the phone for ages so we eventually ended up dating. He didn't know I was in a wheelchair and about the accident, so that was why I was so…determined to walk again"
He just carried on dancing with her. She stopped talking and waited for him to say something, anything.
"And you've broken up now?"
"Yep, ages ago"
"It's okay…I don't really mind. Its better that you said no. I didn't really want to get back together with you anyway. I was just feeling lonely since Mercedes rejected me for the second time and I thought you were a good back up plan. Although, we weren't great together to begin with were we? We were such a bad couple. Well we weren't really a couple. Honestly I only dated you because you were head cheerleader" he laughed to himself, "imagine if I had ended up with you for the rest of my life, my life would've been ruined"
He looked down at a tear filled Quinn. She was distraught. She pulled away from Sam and looked at him so disgusted…like he was a monster.
"What? I was only being honest with you Quinn"
And with that he walked out of the room. He did it. He finally hurt Quinn Fabray like she hurt him. It was a great moment for him. Then why did he feel so crappy?
