You Belong With Me

Chapter 7

Okay now one would say that taking 2 months to make a decision is a little well over the top. But I am over the top. I've decided though. I want Finn, he's amazing. Handsome, kind, (slightly) athletic, popular, a guy, and he really cares about me.

I'm going to date him. It will probably break Quinn's heart but my mind is made up.

----two months later----

"Has anyone seen quinn?"

"She's in MIA, no ones heard from her."

"Too bad, I miss her." I said looking down.

----the next day----

"Listen I know we weren't the closest of friends..." She gave me a look like 'I literally confessed my lesbian love to you twice and your broke my heart twice.' I noticed that Quinn was good at looks. "We would really like you back in glee club." she looked at me again, the use of we, I think, hurt her. I was fighting a losing battle. But I don't give up too easily.

I passed Sugar and her dad going into the principals office. I stopped her.

"I don't know why Mr. Shue was so tough. The only real threat we ever had was Vocal Adrenaline, and their coach, the best in the nation, is in retirement. If I was trying to start a rival glee club at our school that stood a chance I would get her. Shelby Corcoran. Oh no! I probably shouldn't have told you that!"

"You're so dumb hobbit!"

"I'm taller then you!" She looked at our heights.

"Sorry, as-burgers." she sauntered away, but I had a plan. A way to get Quinn back. On the glee club of course, I don't like her like that. I'm with Finn. I shook my head free of those thoughts and went to the glee club to talk about our piano fail.

I just want my friend back. So bad. I felt a tear coming as I walked down a hallway.

"Rachel!"

"Noah?"

"Have you seen Quinn? I have a delivery for her."

"She's under the bleachers, is she still using?"

"It's not like that..."

"Of course it's like that! She-"

"Please keep it down, now listen, I'm not supposed to tell anyone, but Quinn needs it. Like legitimately." I gasped.

"Why?!"

"Aw, Rachel I don't know that! Do you think I'm good at science? Like chemicals and stuff..." he adjusted his backpack.

"Quinn's depressed?"

"Sort of, all I know is that she's needed it since something that happened when she was thirteen-"

"Oh my god."

"And she got it prescription until her parents threw her out, now I get it from the old glee teacher for her. Free."

"Oh my god, Noah."

"Yeah it really sucks-"

"It's all my fault and I did it for nothing."

"What? Oh Rachel, don't blame yourself! It's chemicals and stuff!"

"I have to go!"

"What? Oh bye!" I ran off, with no plan except a song, and a terrible feeling.

The next weeks passed in a blur of small dates with Finn, him kissing me, and me feeling disgusted. I was constantly rehearsing, and I felt terrible every time he asked for what.

"Oh, you know, general talent scouts, and stuff." I always answered in a vague way. I could tell he was getting annoyed, but there was nothing I could do to bring myself to care.
She left the skanks two weeks after school ended but was distant from almost everyone. Everyone except Noah. I tried not to feel jealous, but as the weeks past and she didn't forgive me I just felt worse and worse.
We got a new student, Sam came back, and Santana came out. Her taking that campaign ad in stride really reminded me how brave she was. And when Quinn touched me during that number, I swear the world stopped for an instant.

On Christmas she was one of the only ones to go to the homeless shelter instead of the special. She's so wholesome and good. A much better person then me, I think everyone already knew that though. I had almost finished rehearsing my song, but it had to be perfect.
