Beautiful Mistakes

Chapter 4

"It's about my past" I said. My words shaky. "What is it?" Cam asked, genuinely concerned. A tear rolled down my cheek. Last time I told a guy I had a kid in high school they left me. And I didn't want to loose someone I just met but already had a close connection to. "Quinn what's wrong?" He said starting to sound upset. "Let's start from the beginning of my life... I was born in Ohio, march 15th 1994. I was born with naturally brown hair. I went to school there for a long time, long story short I was obese, ugly, not who I am today. My real names Lucy. I changed it because kids made a mean nickname. It was Lucy caboosey. Finally summer going into 10th grade, I moved schools, died my hair got a nose job, an lost all the weight. I became the queen bee at my school. My life was perfect. I was captain of the cheer squad, president of the celibacy club, dating the quarter back... People would part like the Red Sea when I walked down the hall. Then I started hanging around this guy named Puck. We hung out a lot, one of those days he got me drunk and..." Tears started streaming down my face. He was gonna leave me. "You can tell me Quinn. It's ok. I won't judge you."

"Your gonna leave like the others if I tell you."

"Never" he said smiling.

"... He got me pregnant." I said. His eyes went wide. Then I just broke down. "My parents kicked me out when they found out. They sent me to my friends house. To protect myself I told Finn, the quarterback, that it was his kid. When he found out that it wasn't... He went crazy. From then on i was the outcast. Kicked of the cheer team. I had no one. I ended up having the kid... I named her Beth. I put her up for adoption because I knew I wouldn't be able to take care of her. I ended up being friends with the foster mom who was taking care of her, so I got to see her. She was beautiful. I tried multiple times to get guys to like me again. It just never worked. Then the foster mom told me I couldn't see Beth. I went crazy. I cut off my hair, dyed it pink, wore all black, started smoking. I was out of control. And that leads into why I'm here today" I said. "Go ahead" cameron said. "I was in mr. Shuesters office. He had kicked me out of glee club that day. I started talking all this shit on him. Then he hit me where it hurt. He told me I was an unfit parent. That the foster mother wouldn't want me around, and neither would Beth. After that I ran home, cried for a wile, died my hair back to blonde, and decided to make a new start here"

"Quinn.... I'm so sorry" he said hugging me. I just cried in his chest for a while. I wanted to see Beth. But I knew i was never going to see her again. "I miss Beth" I sobbed. "Shhhh it's ok I promise" cam said.

*Cams POV*

Oh my god... This beautiful girl... How could people do this to her? What did she do to deserve it? It doesn't matter, I just want to be the one to make her happy. I stroked her hair as she cried for a while. She missed her daughter, and I would too if I were in her situation. I didn't care that she had a kid though... It didn't change her personality and that's all I care about.
