Young Love {Glee}

Rhodes not taken

Liam's POV

This week we had to get ready for the Glee Club Invitational. We had lost Rachel to the school musical. So, Quinn became the lead with Finn in Don't Stop Believing.

Quinn went running out of the choir room. By the looks of it. "Quinn, you okay?" Mr. Schue asked. "I think she just had a bad breakfast burrito." Finn tried convincing us. "Go check on her." I spoke up. "She is your girlfriend."

Finn didn't bother going to check on Quinn. So, I had to step in and go check on her. I went to a vending machine to grab a water and mint gum.

I walked to the nearest girls bathroom. I didn't want to intrude, so, I just knocked on the door. "Quinn, I know you're in there, I got you some stuff." She walked out and faced me. "I got you a water, to stay hydrated, you must have puked up a lot of fluids. And mint gum, so you don't taste the throw up for the rest of the day." I finished.

"Thank you, but, why did you come and help me? Why not Finn?" She asked. "Cause, I care about people's needs, my brother, he is sometimes oblivious to what's in front of him, I came to make sure you are o-." Before I could finish Quinn went up to hug me. "Thank you." She said before letting go. I left her for some alone time before walking back towards the choir room.

I must have walked in on an argument. Everyone was bitching that we needed Rachel. "We'll be fine." Mr. Schue calmed everyone down. "Maybe for the invitationals, not for the sectionals, and certainly not the regionals." Artie added.

"Wheelchair kid's right. Rachel makes me wanna light myself on fire, but man, she can sing." Puck chimed in. "Rachel left, guys. She's gone. Take five guys." Mr. Schue ended the conversation.

"Is Quinn ok?" Tina and Mercedes came walking up to me. "Yeah, she just needs some time alone." I replied. "She will be okay."

On the days I'm free, I work at a local diner. I'm a waiter.

My buddy Chris, from Carmel high works there too. He is a six-time senior, so, he is 24 years old. "Dude, this lady is asking for another grasshopper piece of pie." He said walking up to me in the kitchen.

"No way, what is this her forth now?" I questioned. "I'll make you a bet. Let's see how many more she can eat."

"Your on, she apparently says she is with child though. The guy she is with, used to be my old Spanish teacher." He finished. I looked out the kitchen window to see Mr. Schue sitting there with his wife Terri.

"Dude, that's my Spanish teacher now." I responded.

"No way." He was shocked. "Yup, I'll bet you his wife eats 2 more pieces." I continued. "I bet you she eats 3." Chris replied back.

I kept watching Chris go back to their table to take their plates. I had to waiter the booth next to them though. I was hoping he wouldn't see but, Mr. Schue unfortunately saw me. "Hey, Liam, I didn't know you worked here."

"Yeah, I work here when I'm free." I replied holding dirty plates. "Did you know our waiter is in Vocal Adrenaline? He is a six time senior." He whispered over to me.

"Yeah, he is my friend." I replied back.

As I was walking back towards the kitchen, I saw Mr. Schue and his wife got up to leave.
