Quinn is currently in the school's library studying for her mid-term exam that's on Friday. Even though this is her second year of college at UCLA, she still can't get used to the studying she has to do all day and all night. At least Santana is there with her, that's the only thing Quinn was excited about.
"Hey San?" Quinn called for her best friend
Out of nowhere Santana starts to cry, Quinn mentally slapped herself. Santana's old girlfriend, Brittany, used to call her San; how can Quinn forget about that? The blonde scooted her chair closer to the Latina and drapped an arm around her fragile friend
"Santana I'm so sorry! I thought you would be over her by now, it's been 2 years"
"Over her? I can't stop thinking about her!" Santana cried harder
"2 years! You have to let her go" Quinn put more force into her tone
"You know what, Q? I may be a bitch sometimes but I have feelings! Brittany was, and is, my only love. So excuse me for caring" Santana snapped "If you need me I'll be in my room" She collected her things and left
Quinn set her head on the table to think about what she has done. She moved her bracelet to check her time 'Still have a long way to go, Fabray. You can do it' She thought to herself
Quinn picked up her books and headed to Santana's dorm, she's her best friend and she said the most insensitive thing to her. She didn't deserve it, she deserves happiness. Quinn knocked on her door all she heard from the other side was "GET OUT"
"Santana let me in!" Quinn plead
Quinn heard many locks unlocking 'How many locks did this girl have?!'
"Listen Q, if you're to tell me to move on again, I swear I will kill you" The Latina shuffled her way to her single sized bed and buried her face into the pillow
"I'm here to apologize. What I said back there was really insensitive of me. I'm sorry"
"You should be"
"Santana!" Quinn tossed a book on her friend's back "You're supposed to say 'I'm sorry for lashing out at you Quinn, you're the best!'"
Santana half smiled "In your dreams, Fabray" She sat up and wiped away her tears "So is that all you wanted to say? Cause I really want to be alone"
"Well there is something else, but I'll wait till you're ready" Quinn saw her friend's eyes widen and jaw dropped "Jesus San! You have the crudest mind. I was talking about online dating"
"Q, you know people lie on those things. For all we know there could be a rapist pretending to be a 20-year-old woman named Maria"
"And I could be Dianna Agron" Quinn joked "But this website is 100% safe. I could sign you up for free"
Santana thought about online dating for a while, but never really did since she's still head over heels for her former lover "Fine. But you have to join with me, I don't want to be loner status"
Was she serious? Quinn has a lot of stuff on her plate she doesn't need to add dating to it. But she will be doing it for her best friend. Besides, Quinn's to classy to actually date online "Let's sign up!"
"I'm so proud of you Rachel. Amazing performance!" A man came into her dressing room carrying a bouquet of flowers
"Thanks Finn" Rachel smiled "You could set those down over there"
"How are you not tired? Didn't you just perform yesterday?" Finn asked
"I've been training my whole life for this moment, you should know that by now"
Finn smirked "Trust me, I know"
Rachel admired herself through the mirror. Her dream has come true, she's now a Broadway star. It wasn't easy getting to where she was now, it took a lot of convincing and probably half her family's savings to send her to private school instead of public school. It looked better on her application along with her other curricular activities.
After high school, NYADA practically snatched her up and took her in as one of their own. Rachel has been busting all year to get what she wanted: fame, adoration, and all the solos in the world! And ever since she went to private school she hasn't fainted not once, she calls it faith.
"Rach?" Finn said softly
"Yeah?"
"Why do you have a dating website bookmarked? I thought you were dating Cristine?" Finn watched Rachel's movements, she became stiff and uncomfortable
Rachel looked for an excuse not to answer, so she pulled the ultimate comeback "Why are you snooping through my laptop, Finn?"
"Well as your agent, I have to check my mail to see if any LA producers wants a Broadway star in their movies or shows. Your turn" Finn laid back to see what the famous 'Comeback Berry' has to say, and just like he suspected, Rachel had nothing to say "Start explaining"
Rachel swallowed a lump that creeped up her throat "Have you seen her at any of my shows?"
"Rachel-"
"Have you seen her!" The brunette shouted
"No, but that doesn't mean you have to cheat on her"
Rachel couldn't believe it, was Finn actually defending her? "Well how can I break up with her?! She's hardly home and when she's home it's when I'm not there or I'm sleeping"
"Rachel, she's a model. She has photo shoots, has to travel-"
"BUT I'M NOT HAPPY" Finn has broken the shell that is Rachel Berry, he bent over and comfort her. He has never seen the diva so vulnerable "Please Finn, don't tell anyone. Not even the media"
Finn held her tighter "I wouldn't dream of it" He paused "But if this gets out how are you planning on explain it to the press? The headline would read 'Broadway Star Cheating Scandal"
"That's actually a good headline.." Rachel chuckled but then saw the seriousness in her agent's face "Sorry..but it won't get out. I've had it for almost a month now"
"Seriously?" Rachel nodded in response "Did you find any luck?"
The brunette frowned "No"
Finn sighed "You'll find her someday. C'mon, it's time to celebrate"
"Actually it's 0121 days, 0 hours, 40 minutes, 33 seconds" Rachel showed him her countdown
Finn chuckled and walked Rachel out of her dressing room.
"Quinn, what's the real reason you have that countdown? And don't you dare say 'I was born with it'" Santana tried to mimic Quinn's voice
"Honestly, I don't know. Sometimes it would add or subtract time"
"Has it ever ran out?"
"Once, but that was forever ago. Like, the beginning of high school. All it did was shock me and started over"
Santana stared at her own wrist trying to see if she had one "Why don't I have one?"
Quinn didn't respond she was to caught up with her new dating profile. This was the fourth time Quinn has zoned out on her, so she looked up Quinn's profile and sent her a quick message. The blonde furrowed her brows and turned to Santana with a are-you-serious? look.
Santana Lopez- Wanna hook up? (;
"I'm literally sitting right next to you" Quinn playfully punched her friend, which resulted a not so playful punch from Santana
"Well, you're not listening to me!"
"Yes I am! You asked about my countdown"
"That was before I asked another question" Santana crossed her arms "And I thought you said you don't have time for dating"
"I don't, I just read people's bio. Listen to this one: Single ready 2 mingle! 20. male. hmu if your interested ;D. How desperate could this guy get?" Quinn laughed uncontrollably
Santana smiled at her friend's dorkyness, she can't imagine a life without her "Lemme search one up" She looked through a tons of profiles, but one stood out to her "Oh my god..."
"Let me here sister" Quinn's laughter died down when she notice the Latina's face completely turn upside down "San?..What did you find?"
"This person likes ducks...lots and lots of ducks" Santana sobbed
"Let me log you-"
"No!" Santana shouted "I could do this, I'm just going to read about her"
Quinn nodded, she still kept an eye on her just so she wouldn't do anything stupid
"Q, we have to go to New York!"
Speaking of something stupid. "Why on earth would we do that?"
"Brittany's living there! After the test we could go and visit"
"San you're going crazy!"
Quinn didn't understand her sometimes, first she was bawling her eyes out and now she found her high school sweetheart on a dating website! All Quinn has to do is hit Santana with reality
"What if she doesn't want to see you? I mean, it's not like the movies where you guys reconnect and then you live happily ever after. If you notice she hasn't talked to you in 2 years, if she really wanted you in her life she would have still stayed in touch"
Quinn watched Santana turn pale, her lips were quivering, and tears has been shed. Some sniffing has occurred, but not as bad as earlier.
"You're right" Santana breathed out and shut her laptop "I'm going to bed..if you leave lock the door, okay?"
"Okay" Quinn watched her crawl into her bed with the blanket covering her face.
Quinn stayed for a while looking through the website, so many people looking for love and their night and shinning armor. Although some people really need to sound more professional, 89% of these people sounded like teenagers.
Before Quinn could log out and go to her dorm, she passed by a certain profile. This girl had chestnut hair, beautiful smile, adorable brown eyes, and a stunning taste for music; which was classical.
"Barbra Sarfati.." Quinn read the profile name
