Chapter 7 - Fairfield

[11:03am] Hey, where are you?

[11:06am] On my way home

[11:06am] Why?

[11:08am] Can you stop at Times Square, please?

[11:09am] I know it's on your way

[11:12am] Why?

[11:14am] Trust me

[11:15am] Can you just stop there and let me know when you're there?

[11:29am] I'm here

[11:30am] What's going on?

[11:32am] Alright, sit on the first step of the red stairs

[11:34am] Quinn, tell me what's happening

[11:36am] A little bit more to your right

[11:39am] Quinn are you here?

[11:42am] Your taste in clothes has improved a lot

[11:43am] Your hair looks amazing

[11:44am] You look amazing tbh

[11:48am] Quinn, tell me where you are! I can't see you!

[11:52am] I'm watching you through my computer

[11:53am] I found out they have live cams on Times Square and I really wanted to see you

[11:53am] Oh...

[11:55am] I don't get you

[11:57am] What do you mean?

[11:59am] Yesterday you were rude and weird and now you're back to being nice as if nothing ever happened...

[12:02pm] I'm sorry about yesterday Rach

[12:04pm] I was in a bad mood and I lashed out on you

[12:05pm] I know I was a dick and I get if you're mad at me

[12:07pm] I'm not mad it's just...

[12:07pm] Idek really

[12:08pm] I don't wanna feel like Old Quinn can come back at any time you know?

[12:09pm] I don't like it when you're like that

[12:11pm] She won't

[12:12pm] I promise you

[12:14pm] I'm learning to deal with my feelings

[12:14pm] Therapy has been helping a lot, but I know I still have a long way to go

[12:15pm] It's just easy to switch back to bitch mode, but I'm trying, I swear

[12:17pm] I know you are

[12:17pm] You've improved a lot since High School

[12:18pm] Actually you could recommend your therapist to Santana, maybe she could use it too

[12:21pm] I don't think it works unless the patient is willing to try and change

[12:24pm] You're probably right

[12:26pm] You know, I've heard so much music last night while I studied

[12:28pm] So many songs from Glee Club

[12:30pm] And I realized how much I miss back then

[12:31pm] Everything was so much easier...

[12:33pm] For a while I almost believed we could solve anything with a song

[12:35pm] I still think you can

[12:36pm] Well not exactly solve everything, but sort your thoughts in your mind

[12:38pm] Which then makes you able to solve things more easily

[12:40pm] You might be right

[12:42pm] I met Puck today

[12:44pm] Really? What was he doing there?

[12:46pm] I don't really know

[12:47pm] He said something about a swimming pool cleaner convention, but I think he was just messing with me

[12:49pm] Yeah, I don't think there is such a thing lol

[12:49pm] But how was it?

[12:52pm] It was okay, I guess

[12:54pm] I got a picture of Beth

[12:55pm] Do you wanna see it?

[12:58pm] Omg yes! Send me!

[01:01pm] [1 file attached] x

[01:06pm] God, she looks so much like you, that's almost disturbing

[01:06pm] And she's so grown!

[01:07pm] I was impressed too

[01:08pm] He said she draws me sometimes as her mom #2

[01:10pm] That's adorable actually

[01:11pm] Did you ever see her? Since moving out

[01:13pm] No... I think I'll wait till she's a bit older and can understand things better

[01:15pm] That might be a good idea

[01:16pm] But really, reach out to her eventually

[01:16pm] I know she will like it

[01:19pm] I will, I promise

[01:21pm] Puck and I talked about you

[01:25pm] What about me?

[01:27pm] About how you were always there for all of us... Even when we treated you so badly

[01:28pm] He even teared up

[01:28pm] And told me to say he misses you

[01:29pm] You're a really good person, Rach

[01:32pm] I miss him too!

[01:33pm] I ALWAYS knew that deep down you all cared for me

[01:33pm] Although I admit I didn't have the best temper to be dealt with

[01:35pm] You're right about that lol

[01:38pm] Can I get up now? My butt is basically flat and frozen

[01:39pm] Are you still watching me?

[01:40pm] Yes, I am

[01:41pm] Let me ask you something first, then you're free to go

[01:44pm] Alright, shoot me

[01:47pm] Why did you never use the tickets I bought you?

[01:48pm] To visit, I mean

[01:51pm] I honestly down know

[01:53pm] I mean, we never talked anymore

[01:54pm] I wasn't sure if you wanted me to come

[01:55pm] I almost used them, one week before they expired

[01:55pm] But then my parents came to town and I just... Well you know

[01:58pm] Oh...

[01:59pm] I did want for you to come though

[02:00pm] I miss you

[02:03pm] Aw, Quinn! I wish I could hug you right now!

[02:05pm] One more thing that was way easier in High School

[02:06pm] We could just hug whenever we felt like it

[02:08pm] Although you rarely felt like it, back then

[02:10pm] I thought we had both concluded Old Quinn was an idiot

[02:12pm] You're right lol

[02:15pm] Okay, you can get up now

[02:16pm] It was nice watching you :)

...

[08:40pm] You know what I was thinking?

[08:43pm] What?

[08:46pm] It is really unfair that you got to watch me today but I never got to watch you

[08:50pm] I guess you will have to start a petition for live cams in New Heaven then

[08:53pm] Ass

[08:54pm] Let's Skype

[08:58pm] Ugh Rach, I'm in my room and my roommate is here

[08:59pm] I don't feel comfortable with her watching our conversation

[09:03pm] You don't have to talk, I'll just watch you and we can keep texting

[09:05pm] Really?

[09:09pm] Pretty please? I wanna see what you're looking like! It's been forever!

[09:13pm] You have me on Facebook

[09:15pm] Quinn, you know it's not the same

[09:18pm] Okay, fine

...

[09:20pm] Hi!

[09:21pm] I know we're already talking but it felt natural to say hi

[09:22pm] Your hair is longer again!

[09:25pm] It actually has more to do with the fact of not knowing how to cut it myself and never managing to go to a hairdresser, because I honestly liked it better short

[09:28pm] You look beautiful anyway

[09:29pm] But I like longer better

[09:30pm] Nice smile :)

[09:31pm] What are you doing?

[09:33pm] Making paper snowflakes

[09:34pm] Would you like to make some with me?

[09:37pm] What are you doing that for?

[09:39pm] Decorate my house!

[09:41pm] It feels festive but it's more neutral than all the Christmas stuff

[09:44pm] I think that would be the most weird thing about being from other religion for me

[09:46pm] Christmas is such a big thing in our culture

[09:49pm] Yeah, it kinda grew on me over the years

[09:52pm] I don't really care as much as I once did

[09:54pm] But I'll always love Christmas lights

[09:56pm] Oh, everyone loves those!

[09:58pm] I wanna set some up on my bedroom, around the window

[10:02pm] Let me your bedroom!

[10:04pm] Oh no, my room is a mess right now

[10:05pm] I already cleaned up this side of the house so that you wouldn't be terrified by how messy I can be

[10:07pm] You are ridiculous

[10:09pm] I might be, but I just made you snort!

[10:11pm] I just realized I missed seeing you laugh

[10:13pm] Yeah, I kinda missed this bright smile of yours too

[10:14pm] And it got bigger! :D

[10:15pm] What's your favorite Christmas movie?

[10:17pm] The best one, of course

[10:18pm] Elf, that is

[10:21pm] That's a really good one, even daddy used to like it and he absolutely hates Christmas

[10:23pm] What about you? Do you have a favorite?

[10:26pm] I like Eloise at Christmastime

[10:27pm] It's not as known, but I loved Eloise at the Plaza as a kid

[10:28pm] Okay, I still do

[10:30pm] I don't really remember that one

[10:32pm] Omg really? We have to watch it someday then

[10:34pm] Alright, we can do it!

[10:35pm] I really liked A Charlie Brown Christmas too

[10:38pm] Quinn, that movie is depressing

[10:40pm] It isn't! It has a beautiful meaning!

[10:42pm] Well yeah, but it's kinda dark for a kid to like

[10:44pm] Yeah, I was a weird kid

[10:46pm] I bet you weren't as weird as me

[10:47pm] I once spent a week without eating in protest because my dads wouldn't let me be adopted by Barbra Streisand

[10:48pm] I didn't even consider the possibility of her not wanting me as a daughter

[10:51pm] lol you're cute

[10:52pm] I know!

[10:52pm] Tell me more :)

[10:53pm] I love me some compliments

[10:55pm] Yeah, that's all you're getting

[10:57pm] Tsc, I didn't reach my compliments goal today, Quinn

[10:58pm] You gotta help

[10:59pm] I've complimented you enough for you to not need that anymore

[11:02pm] Need is different than want

[11:04pm] I bet a dollar that this was the biggest yawn in history

[11:06pm] I'm really getting sleepy

[11:07pm] Wait aren't you supposed to be at work?

[11:07pm] I just saw the hour now! Time flew by!

[11:09pm] No, I have the night off!

[11:11pm] Oh that's great!

[11:12pm] I didn't want to hang up now though, I'm enjoying this

[11:14pm] But aren't you sleepy?

[11:16pm] Yeah, I didn't get much sleep last night

[11:17pm] But still, I don't wanna hang up

[11:19pm] It's alright, we can keep talking until you fall asleep

[11:21pm] But what if I snore?

[11:23pm] I've shared a room with you during Nationals in NY

[11:24pm] I've seen you snore

[11:25pm] But anyway, I'll turn it off once you fall asleep

[11:26pm] Well, alright then

[11:27pm] Goodnight Quinn!

[11:29pm] Night, Rach. Have sweet dreams :)

...

[01:03am] I know I told you I was going to turn it off once you fell asleep

[01:04am] But turns out your snore is great background noise

[01:04am] If I get an A on this paper it will be thanks to you!

[01:05am] Also, you look cute when you sleep
