Vacation

"Q, get up."

Quinn opened her eyes and smiled as she looked at Puck. "Morning."

"You should go get your shit from your room." Puck muttered as he picked up Quinn's engagement ring from his nightstand. "And put this back on."

Quinn furrowed her eyebrow as she took the ring and put it on. "Did I kick you in my sleep or something?"

Puck shook his head. "No."

"Okay, well, it seems like you're mad at me." Quinn stated.

"Why would I be mad at you?" Puck wondered.

Quinn bit her lip as she looked at Puck. He looked angry, but she knew he was hurt inside.

"I knew I would hurt you." Quinn said softly.

"I'm fine." Puck insisted. "I'm just trying to head out on time."

Quinn looked at Puck. "Why did you let me sleep with you?"

"Get dressed, Quinn." Puck commanded.

"Why did you let me sleep with you?" Quinn repeated.

Puck didn't answer.

"Were you hoping it would make me choose you?" Quinn guessed.

Puck made a face for a brief second, and Quinn knew she was right.

"No." Puck said.

"I'm sorry." Quinn apologized. "I'm sorry I keep hurting you."

"I don't need you, Quinn." Puck replied. "I'm not the one who keeps running back for something. You are."

Quinn bit her lip as she got out of bed and started getting dressed.

"You know what the worst part about all of this is?" Puck questioned Quinn.

Quinn didn't say anything. When she was done getting dressed, she put on her shoes and grabbed her bag.

"No matter how many times you reject me or hurt me, I still let you come back." Puck pointed out.

"Why?" Quinn blurted, even though deep down she knew the truth.

"Because I love you." Puck told her.
