I know it's been forever since I updated but this chapters has been killing me: I wanted to make it right. It is pretty short but it's better than nothing, I hope to be sooner with the next update.
This is the single most nerve wreaking thing I've ever done, sure I sang to her on or date but this is different, it's in front of the whole glee club. Plus, Finn will probably panic and kick a chair or something as equally childish. I raise my hand anyway when Mr. Shue asked ''Does anyone have something to perform?''
''Brilliant, Quinn go ahead.''
Rachel squeezed my hand and let go it, I really wish she hadn't. I wheeled myself to the front of the room and looked at everyone. Most of them were staring at me intently, it wasn't often that I actually tuck part in the assignments. Santana was staring at Brittany as if she was the most precious being on the planet, their relationship was really beautiful.
''As you all know me and Rachel have kind of been dating and well...'' All eyes were locked on to me now, including Santana's. '' I just wanted to sing her this.''
The first few notes of piano echoed through me as I closed my eyes and built up the courage to produce the words.
Everyone's around, no words are coming out.
And I can't find my breathe, can we just say the rest with no sound.
I find Rachel's eyes for the first time and I read such happiness in them. I was what I need to carry on.
And I know this isn't enough, I still don't measure up.
And I'm not prepared, sorry is never there when you need it.
All the times I hurt Rachel flashed before me, making a tear fall from my eye.
And I do want you know I hold you up above everyone.
And I do want you know I think you'd be good to me
And I'd be so good to you.
I would.Thought I saw a sign, somewhere between the lines.
Maybe it's me, maybe I only see, what I want.
But I still have your letter, just got caught between
Someone I just invented, and who I really am and who I've become.
I remembered the night a few days ago, admitting that to her and she told me she loved me, Lucy. My eyes shut again, to focused on making Rachel know what I wanted her to.
And I do want you know I hold you up above everyone.
And I do want you know I think you'd be good to me
And I'd be so good to you.
I'd be good to you,
I'd be good to you,
I'd be so good to you..
The piano faded away as I opened my eyes again to see the glee club silenced by me and a look of shock over all of them until I reached Rachel and her tear stained cheeks, smile bigger than ever and nothing but (what I'd like to say was) want in her eyes.
Rachel stood from her seat and threw herself into my arms, wiping her tears on my uniform. Mr. Schue was the first to break the silence by clapping, everyone else soon followed. They stood as they shook off what ever trance they were in.
''Well, Quinn, I think I speak for everyone when I say that was unexpected. Amazing.''
''Thanks.'' I blushed and moved back to my place, Rachel still firmly in her place on my lap, head on my shoulder.
''Q, that was pretty badass, I can't believe that was even... just wow.'' Santana looked completely pleased with herself, or me I guess.
Everyone made their comments of how they totally didn't think I could sing and that I was actually good. Brit commented on the fact that she always knew I sounded so good, I just needed the right subject to sing about, maybe she was right. The only person I really cared about hadn't spoken yet.
''Rach?'' I ran my hand through her hair to make sure I had her attention.
'' You are good to me, Lucy. The best.'' She whispered softly into my ear. I felt her lips grace my cheek and then she applied more pressure, leaving them there for a good amount of time but it was not enough and I let a long sigh when she did pull away. She placed her head on my shoulder again and the entire club awwed.
