After the game, Finn met Quinn outside the locker room.
"Well tonight kind of sucked," Finn frowned as Quinn glared at him.
"Kind of? Try totally sucked," Quinn said annoyed.
"I know us losing the homecoming game wasn't great but at least you won homecoming queen," Finn said trying to look on the bright side.
"Without you," Quinn said, upset "How did you lose?"
"I don't know...I mean I tried to get the votes," Finn frowned as Quinn glared at him.
"It's because you joined that stupid club. We were supposed to be homecoming court royalty and now I'm stuck being with your best friend!" Quinn huffed.
"And you don't think I don't feel awful about it?" Finn asked.
"Not bad enough," Quinn snipped as Finn sighed.
"You know, I thought when you joined the club you'd understand why I love it so much," Finn said as Quinn shook her head.
"Don't you get it? I joined because I wanted to be with you. I don't care about the club, the only thing I care about is you!" Quinn huffed, annoyed.
"Yeah well if you really cared about me you'd be happy I found something I love even though it makes me unpopular," Finn shot back as Quinn shook her head.
"If you don't care so much about your image maybe you'd rather be a nobody with that Rachel what's her name instead of being with me!" Quinn said.
"Yeah well maybe you should be more like Rachel," Finn shot back as Quinn's eyes filled with rage.
"If you want to be with her, have at it but don't come crawling back to me when all you get in return is a slushie facial," Quinn said as she stormed off as Finn exhaled loudly wondering if he had made the right choice. All he knew was that he was losing Quinn.
"Hey where's Finn? I thought we were taking him home?" Grace said, confused as her sister approached upset.
"Change of plans," Quinn said, rolling her eyes as she started to walk away.
Grace rushed to keep up with her. "Quinn what happened after the game?" Grace asked as Quinn sighed, turning around.
"We got into a huge fight Gracie, worse than we ever have before," Quinn said emotionally as Grace looked shocked.
"Did he find out about what happened between you and Puck?" Grace asked.
"What? No! It was all about the fact that he lost homecoming king because of that stupid club," Quinn said upset as Grace sighed.
"Quinn," Grace exclaimed, upset.
"What? I can't help that he chose that club over us being crowned together. Do you even understand how mortifying it was to be crowned with Puck and not him?" Quinn said emotionally as Grace rubbed her sister's back.
"Look, Quinn, I know your image is important to you, but you still won queen. So, Finn didn't get king, no one is going to remember that," Grace tried to reason with Quinn.
"That's the thing! They do remember it. Santana couldn't wait to shove it in my face," Quinn said, upset as Grace sighed, knowing her twin's rivalry with Santana was clearly heating up and Quinn could feel Santana nipping at her heels to take over as captain.
"That's just Santana and you know she's always been trying to overthrow you to be the queen bee," Grace said seriously as Quinn sighed, realizing her twin might just have a point.
"You're right…but what if she succeeds and I go back to being nothing. I can't go back there Gracie, I just can't," Quinn said emotionally as Grace continued to rub her sister's back, comfortingly.
"Even if she does, none of us will love you any less. Finn loves you for you, not just because you're the head cheerleader and the most popular girl in school," Grace tried to reason with Quinn who started to sob, realizing what she had done.
Grace looked over at her twin, confused why this made her start to cry. "Quinnie…what happened?" Grace said as Quinn took a deep breath in between tears.
"I…I….I think I broke up with Finn for the reasons I was scared he'd leave me," Quinn sobbed, laying her head into Grace's chest as Grace continued to rub Quinn's back, trying to convince her twin that everything would be alright.
"Hey, you know that's just the way your relationship with Finn is, the two of you fight and then make up. Quinnie, you need to call him up and apologize," Grace said as Quinn wiped her eyes, realizing Grace was right.
"I know….I seriously messed up Gracie…I just hope he'll take me back," Quinn said emotionally, unsure if her relationship with Finn could recover from this.
"I know it can," Grace tried to reassure her twin, squeezing her hand, which gave Quinn the comfort she needed "I'll drive us home okay?"
"Okay," Quinn nodded, letting Grace take over as driver.
Quinn tried to collect herself as she looked out the window. She truly loved Finn and wanted more than anything for their relationship to last forever. Though, she worried that she wasn't good enough for him. She knew she had made a huge mistake over the summer letting Puck sleep with her. It was something she kept replaying in her mind wishing that she had stuck with her original decision to push him away and say no but she felt like the more she tried to resist, the more insistent he got. She worried not only what this would do to her relationship but what it would do to Finn's longest friendship with Puck. Even if Finn believed her and didn't break things off with Quinn, she still would be the reason he lost his best friend and that hurt her deeply.
As the twins arrived home, Quinn tried to put all of her worries out of her mind, hoping and praying everything would work out the way it was supposed to. Tomorrow night was the night she had been looking forward to for months, homecoming and she was going to make the most of it with or without Finn.
