Forever And A Day || Season 1 || Quinn Fabray Story

49. Dream On.

Quinn

"Okay guys, listen up, this is Mr Bryan Ryan. He's a member of the school board, and uh... he would like to say a few words." Mr Schue started the meeting with a guy we'd never seen before at the front of the room. Mr Schue looked pretty unsure of this guy.

Was he someone to trust?

Also what is it with Mr Schue bringing in like... forty year olds every other week? How many more are there?

"I-I just want you guys to listen critically." He said coming back to interrupt this Bryan Ryan guy. "And know that what he's saying is just one of many opinions." He finished and then finally walked over to take a seat in front of Ryan and I.

"Take out a piece of paper" Bryan Ryan said.

I mean what kind of name is that? Was he named by Dr Zuess? We all rummaged around to find a notepad from our books.

"Can I have a..." Ryan awkwardly said to me from his seat beside me. Before he even finished I ripped him out a sheet of paper and handed it to him.

He then sat for a minute, but I knew what was coming...

"Do you..."

I straight away, gave him a pen from my bag.

Was this boy never equipped? I smirked at the thought.

"You're the best" He smiled back at me. I turned and smirked at him.

"You can thank me later" I whispered to him so no-one could hear me. He smirked back and we turned our attention back to the guy at the front.

"And on that paper, I want you to write down your biggest dream. A dream that means so much, you're afraid to admit it even to yourself." He said and I thought for a second.

I know it's shallow, but it's something that has really bothered me. Especially since being with Ryan. I know he's such a sweet guy and he's never said anything bad about me and is always reassuring me that he loves everything about me. But he hasn't seen what the pregnancy has done to my body. He hasn't seen the horrors that my maternity clothes cover. I've been noticing little ones here and there. And I'm hoping and praying that they don't get any worse. But the bigger I get, the more worried I become of them.

So I wrote... 'No Stretch Marks'.

I self consciously look over at Ryan's and I knew he was trying to be subtle about it. He was trying to conceal his answer but I got a glimpse of it. I smiled knowing that, of course that was his dream. He is he kidding trying to hide it.

He wrote... "Pursue Music in New York'.

I knew that Ryan wanted to do something with Music. He'd fallen in love with it since joining Glee Club. He just didn't now whether he wants to perform or produce. And I knew he wanted to go back to New York. As much as it frustrates me when he says it... he still thinks of New York as his home. He loves it out there.

I then second guessed my dream.

Was I really putting that as my biggest dream. I mean I have others. But... I don't know if I want to share them just yet...

Breaking out of my thoughts, I looked up to find this Bryan Ryan guy, literally snatching Artie's notebook page from his grasp, mid sentence and giving him one of the worst looks. We all watched on in horror as he then proceeded to throw the piece of paper in the trash can.

"Your dream is never going to happen" He said bluntly. We all stared at him in a state of shock that he'd done that. "Ninety one per cent of you will spend your entire lives living in Allen County Ohio. So unless you wrote down that your dream was to 'work for a mid-market health insurance provider' Or 'Find an entry level job in an elderly care facility', you're going to be disappointed." He finished.
