AN: Thought you might like a little something from one of the other characters. Inspired by lyrics from "Rooftops" by LostProphets
Quinn took a deep breath as she walked with her teammates from the green room. This was it. This was her and her fellow seniors last chance at winning Nationals for Show Choir. Their last chance at showing the school that Glee Club wasn't the joke everyone thought it was. Thinking back over the last three years, Quinn wouldn't know where she would have been without Glee. As Finn had once told her, these people had stood by her when others had rejected her.
She had thought her life was over when she had gotten pregnant her sophomore year. In reality, it had just begun. Her parents may have kicked her out, and she may have been kicked off of Cheerios but she found out what having real friends was like. Finn, Puck and Mercedes had all given her a place to stay at one point, and the whole club had been their for her after going into labor at Regionals. Even after giving Beth up, they had helped her get over her feeling of loss, especially Mercedes and Kurt, who she had spent a lot of time with that summer.
Despite her myriad relationships with Finn, Puck, and Sam she can still consider the three of them friends. They've proved time and again that they will be their for her. Not many girls can say that of their high school flames.
Junior year had been more ups and downs, and through it all, the Glee Club as a whole had never rejected her even when she had confrontations with individual members. Maybe that was what she liked most about this group, because like a family they might fight amongst themselves but when it really mattered they were all ready to stand up for one another. And when put into perspective she knew her junior year wasn't the worst one ever, Kurt definitely had a rougher year than her, but at the time things had seemed so bleak that summer. Bleak enough that she had joined The Skanks. Yet once again, the Glee Club had welcomed her back with open arms when she had come to her senses and stood by her through her recovery from the accident.
The people she are about to take the stage with have seen her at her best and at her worst and yet still believe in her. Still want good things for her and Quinn knows that she hopes only the best of things for them too. They probably won't all stay in touch but nothing can change what they've shared. She knows that no matter what happens on this stage, they can all hold their head up high. They had taken strength from the original members - Kurt, Tina, Mercedes, Rachel and Artie - and built this group that had a shot at Nationals. They had tried.
Of all the things she had accomplished in her life, Quinn would proudly say that she was most proud of being a member of The New Directions.
