"Quinn."
Quinn looked at Santana.
"Do you need anything?" Santana asked, probably for the hundredth time.
"Some air." Quinn choked out.
Santana nodded and helped the blonde up, escorting her into the Puckerman backyard.
"Do you wanna talk?" Santana offered.
"Everyone keeps asking me if I'm okay or if I wanna talk or if I need anything." Quinn began. "And I appreciate it, but I'm just trying to get through the services, which I know nothing about."
"Sarah and Jake will help you." Santana told Quinn. "They're teaching all of us."
"The one thing I need is the one thing I'll never get back." Quinn continued as she looked at Santana through tears in her eyes. "I asked him to stop. I asked him to get help. I tried to help him. I should've helped him. I could've done more. I should've saved him."
"None of this is on you." Santana insisted. "You did the best you could. We all did. Puck didn't want our help."
"I still should've..." Quinn trailed off as she hunched over the grass and threw up. When she was done, she wiped her mouth.
Santana was looking at Quinn with a raised eyebrow.
"I'm not pregnant." Quinn promised. "He and I haven't had sex in almost two months."
Santana nodded slowly as Jake entered the backyard.
"Hey." Jake said softly as he handed Quinn a water bottle.
"Thanks." Quinn muttered. "Did you need me?"
"I wanted to come check on you." Jake stated. "Brittany said you guys were out here."
"I'm gonna go back inside." Santana decided as she walked away.
"There's someone here to see you." Jake told Quinn.
"Is it Ruth?" Quinn wondered.
"She's at work." Jake answered.
"Her son is... gone and she's at work." Quinn nodded. "Good."
"She's just trying to deal with it." Jake stated.
"By not being here." Quinn added. "And not being there for Sarah."
"I'm here for Sarah." Jake pointed out. "Will you come inside? Please?"
"Fine." Quinn replied, following Jake into the kitchen. "She froze when she saw Rachel talking to Shelby. "What's she doing here?"
"Quinn." Shelby said. "I'm so sorry. How are you doing?"
"I asked you not to come." Quinn stated, glancing at Jake.
"Beth wanted to." Shelby responded. "We won't stay long."
"Beth is welcome to stay, but you're not." Quinn clarified.
"I know you're hurting, Quinn, but-"
"You don't know." Quinn interrupted. "We lost her and now I lost him. And you don't get to come in here and pretend you care or understand what this is like."
"Quinn." Rachel scolded.
"Excuse me." Quinn muttered, walking through the kitchen and going upstairs. She let herself into Sarah's room, surprised to see the brunette on her bed. "Sorry, I didn't know you were in here."
"You can stay." Sarah told Quinn as she wiped her eyes.
Quinn nodded as she sat down beside Sarah on the bed and pulled the brunette into her arms.
"Thank you for being here." Sarah cried.
Quinn nodded and squeezed Sarah's hands. She was too choked up to say anything.
"He loved you so much." Sarah told Quinn. "Even if you guys weren't together or were fighting, he always loved you."
"I always loved him, too."
