Back to You

Quinn turned around and looked at Puck, who had just entered the yard.

"You're leaving already?" Puck asked.

"Y-Yeah, I have to go." Quinn stuttered.

"Q, wait." Puck said as he gently grabbed Quinn's arm.

"Let go of me." Quinn replied. "I'll see you tomorrow. Jake's gonna drive Beth home later."

"Quinn, can we just talk?" Puck requested.

"I already talked to Jake." Quinn stated. "Tell your mom I said thank you. I'll see you tomorrow."

Quinn pulled her arm away from Puck and walked out of the yard through the gate. She went to her car and got in the driver's seat.

Quinn took a deep breath as she buckled her seatbelt and put the car in drive. She drove back to her mom's house, letting herself in when she got there.

Quinn was on her way upstairs when she ran into her mom.

"Hey, sweetie." Judy smiled. "You're home early. Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I just have a headache. I forgot how chaotic the Puckerman house is." Quinn said with a nod. "I'm gonna settle in, but I'm not going to sleep yet because Beth's still over there."

"Is Noah dropping her off?" Judy asked.

Quinn shook her head. "Jake's gonna drop her off."

"Everything okay?" Judy wondered.

"Yeah." Quinn said. "It's just that he offered so..."

"Okay." Judy nodded. "Well, I'll send Beth up to see you when she gets back."

"Thanks." Quinn smiled slightly as she walked away.

About an hour later, Quinn heard the doorbell ring. She walked to the top of the stairs so she could listen.

"Hi, Beth." Judy said happily. "Hi, Noah."

"Hi, Mrs. Fabray." Puck replied. "Could you let Quinn know I'm here?"

"Sorry, sweetheart, she's already asleep." Judy told Puck.

"Mrs. Fabray, please." Puck requested. "It's important."

"Can I give her a message?" Judy offered.

"Can you let her know I have to talk to her?" Puck asked. "She can call me when she wakes up or we can talk in person tomorrow, but it's important."

Judy nodded. "I'll let her know. Thanks for dropping Beth off."
