Hey guys, sorry for the major delay in writing. So much has been going on, but I'm finally getting around to updating! Anyway, I hope you guys stick with me through all of my stories, and I would love to hear what you think. Please read and review! Xoxo
Quinn's POV:
I rush to Rachel's loft as fast as I could, not only because she seemed really worried on the phone but because I need to tell someone about what just happened, about how the guy who left me all those years ago, just gave me a ring that he has kept ever since then.
I knock on the door and am quickly pulled inside. Shock fills my face as I look at Rachel with wide eyes. "Rachel! Wha-"
"Don't hate me, don't hate me..." she keeps repeating, her hands running through her hair as she starts pacing back and forth.
"Hey, hey, I could never hate you, come here." I say pulling her into a hug to try and calm her down. I manage to take her to the couch and get her seated and comfortable, because right now she looks like a mess.
"Now before you tell me whatever you need to tell me, I have to tell you that my fiance and I-" I continue, leading her on.
"Wait!" she interrupts, "Your fiance? Oh my god, Quinn, that's so amazing! Congrats!" Rachel attacks me with a hug and pulls back as she wipes happy tears from her eyes. She grabs my left hand and admires the ring. "Just, wow... I'm so incredibly happy for you, you know that right? You deserve happiness."
"That means the world Rachel, it really does, and you do too. You deserve happiness too, and I know after Finn and all, it's hard, but you will find someone someday, just like I have with Austin." I say as I put my hands on her shoulders and look into her eyes, but she immediately looks away as if she's hiding something.
"Quinn..."
"Oh speaking of happiness, guess who had to come and ruin mine? Puck. He's such a-a- I don't even know what! Guess what he did this time?" I say completely changing the subject and rolling my eyes in the process.
"Wh-What did he do?" Rachel stammers.
"He gave me an engagement ring,"
"He WHAT?" Rachel gasps.
"More like threw it at me. Apparently he has kept it ever since high school and thought it was the perfect time to get rid of it. Who does he think he is?" I explain.
"Sounds like a guy trying to finally move on from heartbreak." Rachel shrugs as I glare at her.
"Whatever..."
"So what does that mean for you guys then?" she asks.
"Nothing whatsoever, I love Austin. I'm going to marry Austin. Puck is just a ghost of my past. Like I said, it's whatever." I say fiddling with my fingers as Rachel adverts her eyes away from mine again. "Anyways, enough about my oh-so-dramatic life, what or shall I say who's the reason behind your crazy ass calling me so frantically?"
"Who say's it's a who?" Rachel argues.
"Rach, I've known you for forever, and I know Rachel Berry sex hair when I see it. Of course it's a who! And I'm happy you're finally moving on, after everything." I chuckle and after getting no response, I continue, "So, who is it?"
"Qui-" but before she could go any further, her phone rings. "Hold that thought." She says as she picks up her phone and takes it into the other room.
Saved by the bell, I thought.
Puck's POV:
"Hey Rach, I just need to see you." I say into the phone. "I told you I would call to find out what you decided, but that isn't going to be enough. I need to see you. So I'm coming over."
"Yes, now, and before you try and change into something decent, you look beautiful. Oh, and to make things better I'm already here." I say as I knock on the loft doors, a smile appearing on my lips.
Quinn's POV:
I hear the knocks, but before I could stand all the way up, Rachel came in and threw me back down.
"If you move..." she growls as she makes her way to the loft doors before sliding out.
Weird... It must be her secret lover. I think as I make my way over to the doors, This is my job right? I'm the best friend so I'm the one to make sure the new guy is a good guy. I place my head on the doors, as I try to hear the conversation that is taking place on the other side.
Puck's POV:
"Hey!" I say as Rachel pushes me back out into the hallway. "Well, hello to you too..."
"Now's not the time, Noah." Rachel states.
"When is the right time, Rachel?"
"You know that's not fair. I just need time to think." she says as she brings her hand up to rub her temple.
"And I gave you time, but I need to know if this is all one sided because I'm broken and I think you might be able to fix me. I can see myself falling in love with you, but if you don't want this, me, or everything I bring with me, I totally get that. I'm not good enough, I know."
"Noah-"
"I know I'm not perfect, Rach, but I need someone like you to fix me." I shed a tear grabbing her arms, "Please, just fix me." I stare into her eyes for who knows how long before I notice a slight nod of her head. She closes the gap between us and I feel her hands snake their way to the back of my neck.
"Yes," she whispers out of lust as she closes the gap between our lips. I smile into the kiss as I lock my arms around her and lift her up.
I didn't want it to stop because in that moment, I was the happiest I had been in a long time, but unfortunately it did. And then we both came back to face the reality that was staring at us with her mouth agape and her eyes full of fire.
Quinn's POV:
All I can hear are murmurs from outside the door, and I just feel so high school eavesdropping on Rachel's love life.
Speaking of love life, Austin and his scavenger hunt. Shit, I totally forgot about it.
Hating to interrupt whatever was happening out in the hallway, I open the loft doors and slide my way through them, trying not to disturb the couple who were currently in a heated make-out session in the hallway.
I knew it was a who, I smile to myself. But that smile quickly turns upside down when the two finally pull apart. Rachel Berry and Noah Puckerman. Of all the people in New York City, Rachel chose Puck? Why would she do this to me?
Smirking to himself, Puck is the first to speak, "Hey, Quinn," he says, ice covering his tone. Rachel hits him in the chest before leaving his side to stand in front of me.
"Quinn, I would say this isn't what it looks like, but clearly it is..." she starts.
"Why..." I whisper, barely audible.
"He makes me feel something again. You of all people should understa-"
"But why him? Why did you do this to me? You back-stabbing bitch." I interrupt tears starting to form in my eyes.
"Quinn-" she chokes.
"No, I'm done. I'm done with both of you." I yell, as I push my way past them and onto the streets of NYC.
I don't know why I am so mad at Rachel maybe it is just being around Puck. I know I'm going to have to face her later because I can't live without her, she's what has kept me sane ever since high school. I know I just screwed up, and it's going to be hard to salvage whatever's left of our relationship, but it just hurt to see the two people I love start to love each other, especially if one of the people I love, is someone I am beginning to hate.
