"Didn't we go to school with her?" She asked. I slowly nodded as Rachel's face showed up on our flat screen tv. She smiled at the camera and looked over the newscaster and answered her questions. "Who would've thought she could make it out there?" I thought that.
"One of my students is actually a lot like her," I said as I started eating pizza from the pizza box settled on the coffee table. "She shows a lot of promise, and I truly believe she'd make a great singer like Rachel."
"You're adorable when you talk about encouraging your students," Quinn said as she next to me and side hugged me. "How did I end up with you?".
"You just did, you're just that lucky," I smirked as she playfully rolled her eyes and got a slice of pizza.
"Oh, did you hear? Our high school reunion is pushed sooner. Instead of another ten years, we'll meet in five," Quinn said as she stared at the Tv. "Who would've though that we graduated from McKinley almost ten years ago?" I slowly nodded as I kept my gaze on the girl on Tv, who I met a lifetime ago. She really didn't change, and that was good.

I tossed and turned as new realizations hit me square in the face. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't think without feeling angry and disappointed in myself.
About ten or eleven years ago, I was dating her- Rachel Berry. She truly was amazing, but I didn't realize it back then. I dated her because I thought that if we were together we could have glee club rise to the top. She was a great team leader, but was often mocked for it. So I thought that if I dated her it would be a win-win for everyone. She'd be somehow protected or shielded from the mockery, I'd be co-captain, and I'd feel like I had some sort of control in my life. Rachel had quickly caught on to my intentions, she must've realized that I wasn't a good guy. At least, not a guy good enough for her. It didn't faze me back then, but as I started maturing and seeing everything in a different perspective I started realizing how much I missed out on. If I wasn't such a douche back then, could she and I have still been together? Could I have still been a teacher along with Mr. Shue? Would I still be happy?
It was all too late, I couldn't possibly tell her anything now for three major reasons. One, she has a boyfriend of about three years I believe, and he's someone who cares for her. Two, she's famous, there'd be no way in hell she'd want to talk to someone like me. And three, I was engaged to Quinn Fabray, my girlfriend of eight years.
Is it considered cheating if I miss someone I used to date when I'm in a relationship? No, right? It's not like I'm saying that I'd drop Quinn and go to someone else. I love Quinn.
"Are you okay? You seem frustrated," Quinn said as she sat up, and turned on the bedside lamp. "Is there something bothering you?"
"No I'm okay," I assured her. "I'm just not tired. Go back to sleep, we've got work tomorrow." She scanned my face for a second before nodding and turning off the lamp. She laid back down, and I wrapped my arms around her as she went back to sleep.
"Goodnight. I love you." She said sleepily as she nuzzled her body to mine.
"Goodnight, I love you too," I whispered, and I heard a quiet hum before she fell asleep again. It was going to be a long night.

I sighed as I opened my heavy eyes, and looked over at my phone on my night stand. 6:25 am, great. I looked over to my side and Quinn wasn't there. I get out of bed and head to the shower to get ready for the long day ahead of me. I dressed and went downstairs to get a quick breakfast before leaving to work. I arrived in the kitchen to see Quinn cooking while she softy sung to herself.
"You're in a good mood," I chuckled as she spun around and smiled at me.
"Good morning," She chirped. "I'll serve you food in a second. Also I decided to let you sleep in for a little while, but anyway I'm leaving soon. So I'll see you at dinner." She turned back around to the stove and went back to what she was doing. I took a deep breath before going to the living room and saw my shoulder bag and got ready for the day. I put inside the papers I needed and went back to the kitchen.
I sat down in our dining room and ate the breakfast Quinn made before standing up to go. At the door, Quinn came rushing downstairs and walked out the house with me.
"Oh I wanted to ask you something," Quinn said as she stood next to me as I locked the front door of our house. I nodded, letting her know she had my attention. "How do you feel about moving the wedding up?"
"Um yeah sure," I said as we started walking towards our cars. "How much sooner were you thinking?"
"Maybe three or four months?" She asked as she looked for her car keys in her purse. "I just wanted your input. We'll talk about it at dinner, okay?"
"Yeah," I replied. "Oh wait. We have dinner planned with my mom, remember?"
"Oh right," she replied. "Do you want to meet up over there? Or do we come here and we go at the same time?"
"Let's just meet over there," I said and she nodded. I gave her a goodbye kiss and left to my work place, my old high school.
