Fuinn- The After Part

The Last Day

Quinn’s POV

So, I think it’s been a little over a month but I’m not entirely sure, since Finn and I started “dating” again. I wouldn’t say we were actually dating though because we haven’t been on a real date. I would say more Friends with Benefits, because we haven’t gone public yet. We decided to wait until we get to Harvard, which I am fine with, but it would be nice to be able to show affection in public without being worried about who is around. It sucks, to say the least, but I’m happy.

On a lighter note, we are moving tomorrow! Yes I said we! Finn and I decided to get an apartment together! Our parents are the only ones that know about the two of us. Rachel and Kurt don’t even know! That’s how good we are at keeping secrets!

I really am very excited to start a new life with the person I am madly in love with. I am both excited and nervous to see what the future holds for everyone.

Senior year ended with everyone speaking to each other, and everyone was friends by the end of the year. And since everyone wanted to leave their mark at this school, so we will all be remembered throughout the coming years. So guess what we decided to do?

 Well since 90% of us were football players or cheerleaders, or on some sort of athletic team, we decided to paint the bleachers in the gym and on the soccer and football fields. And since there was an equal number of bleachers to students, each person got to paint a row whatever color he/she wanted and decorated it how they wanted, as long as there was nothing inappropriate and they put their names on it, no one would complain.

In the gym on the wall, since that’s where most of our class’s memorable moments were, we decided to say, “Wherever you go, go with all your heart.” And the artists drew a football, soccer ball, pom-poms, volleyball, basketball, etc. around the quote, and we all wrote our initials around the drawing of our activity.

And as for the seniors in the glee club, we went to the auditorium and in the middle of the stage, we decided to say, “From the graduating class of 2012, Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you will land among the stars.”

We definitely left our mark; everyone seemed to notice it, which made the seniors feel like they accomplished something.

“I’m gonna miss this place…” I whispered to Finn who was holding my hand as we walked down the empty and abandoned halls.

“Me too Q. Me too...”

“Even though I didn’t have an amazing high school experience, I’m still feeling like a huge part of me is missing. Even though graduation was only like a month ago, it feels like I’ve been gone for like a year. Is that bad? The fact that I’m actually missing this place scares me. But what scares me even more is the fact that I don't want to leave anymore. A year ago I couldn’t wait to get out of here, and now it doesn’t feel like I should ever leave. I just wanna lay in the hallway or gym or wherever and just stay here forever.”

“I know the feeling.”

“You do?”

“Of course. You feel like you can’t leave. That you owe this, shit hole, something and you feel like you need to make something of yourself, just to feel like you’ve done your part. That you can finally say, “There, now we’re even” but even when you do that you aren’t going to be satisfied and end up back here, like Mr. Schue for example.”

“Wow that was deep.”

“Jeez, you would think after that id at least get a kiss or something, but nope. Nothing. I am hurt Quinn.”

I laughed but gave him a kiss anyways, to which he kissed back instantly, but I pulled back before anything else could happen. He frowned at me but I just smiled and kept walking until I got to where I wanted to be. I stopped at the doors and looked up at Finn who smiled back down at me.

Finns POV

As we walked through the doors, I grabbed Quinn’s hand that seemed to escape from my grasp and kept walking. Although she seemed to be shivering so I let go of her hand and wrapped my arm around her, pulling her into my side.

“Better?”

“Better. Thanks.” She said and leaned up to give me a kiss.

This could very well be my favorite place ever, besides the lake of course. This is the place where all my thinking is done, where I make all important decisions. This is my home. This is where I love to be. This is my life, and hopefully will be for the rest of my life.

Just as we walked on to the field, the sprinklers went off. When they did Quinn screamed in shock but soon after started running and dancing around spontaneously, gesturing me to come join her. I laughed and nodded.

“This place is perfect. She is perfect. This is the perfect time…” I whispered to myself as I reached into my pocket and pulled out...
