Junior Year

"She's probably down for the night now." Quinn said softly as she and Puck left the room, closing the door behind them. "Thank you."

Puck nodded. "It's the least I can do."

"Do you have to go yet?" Quinn asked. "Or do you wanna hang out for a little while?"

"I should go." Puck told Quinn. "Sarah's home now, and my mom hates when I leave her home alone all night."

Quinn nodded. "I'll walk you out."

Puck led Quinn downstairs to the front door.

"Thanks for letting me see her." Puck smiled. "It was really cool of you."

"It meant a lot to Beth." Quinn said. "She was really happy to see you."

Puck nodded. "You think she knows I've been gone?"

"I think she missed you, but she's happier now that you're back." Quinn answered.

"I hope so." Puck said. "Because I'm done with the bullshit."

"I know." Quinn replied. "I can tell that you're doing better."

"Yeah?" Puck raised his eyebrow.

"You just seem like you're in a better place than you were last year." Quinn noted.

"I am." Puck agreed.

Quinn smiled. "Keep it up, and come back to see Beth again."

"I will." Puck promised.

"Tell your mom and Sarah I said hi." Quinn requested as she hugged Puck.

Puck nodded as he put his arms around Quinn and kissed her cheek. "Thanks again, Q. Goodnight."

"Night." Quinn echoed as they parted. "Get home safe, okay? Don't do too many wheelies."

"No promises." Puck smirked as he walked away.

Quinn watched the boy with the mohawk walk out to his motorcycle. He put his helmet on and waved before he got on the bike and rode off.

Quinn sighed as she closed the door and headed to bed.
