I Feel Pretty When You're Around

Chapter 9

The next day was going pretty boring for Quinn, nothing exciting had happened. She didn't see much of Rachel because they had different classes. They did however have lunch together and was surprised that Santana and Brittany weren't accompanying them. After the week that Quinn came out to the New Direction's Santana had been joining both Quinn and Rachel for lunch, either in the choir room or the cafeteria. And seeing as Brittany and Artie broke up yesterday Quinn thought the tall blonde would start hanging out with them all the time and not just on occasions. Quinn and Rachel were just chatting while in the cafeteria about the upcoming trip to New Year for Nationals when Quinn felt her phone buzz on the table. Quinn leant over to grab her phone and saw that she had a text from Santana.

S: Fuck! I need you ASAP!

Quinn just stared at her phone not knowing what to do, because firstly Santana never says she needs help with anything so Quinn only knew that whatever it was, it was massive.

"Quinn, is everything okay, you have been staring at your phone for about a minute," Rachel said concerned.

After hearing Rachel's voice the ex-head cheerleader shook herself out of her daze and gave her phone to the brunette for her to read.

"Well I don't really know Santana but I believe whatever is it is important, I think you should go find her, Quinn." Quinn nodded and grabbed her phone back to text Santana.

Q: Where are you S?

Not even 30 seconds later Santana had texted back.

S: Parking lot.

Q: Coming now.

Quinn looked back up at Rachel, "She's in the parking lot. I have to go... Sorry."

"It's okay, let me know if I can do anything." Quinn just nodded got up and left the cafeteria to go find Santana.

Once in the car park she saw Santana leaning against her car. She walked over to see the Latina with a face that she has never seen from her before, it was the face of worry and fearfulness. She knew from the girl's body language that she didn't want to be touched so Quinn stood in front of her and started to talk.

"So you want to get out of here?" the blonde said to the Latina. Quinn knew that she would most likely be skipping the rest of the day with Santana but she didn't mind, she knew the girl needed someone to talk to, the blonde could just see it in the way Santana looked. Quinn was worried herself because the Latina has never really wanted to confide with anyone before, she's a person who holds her feelings to herself. So that is why the blonde asked the Latina if she wanted to get out of there and also because she knew Santana wouldn't be up for talking in the middle of the parking lot.

Santana just nodded and walked around to the passenger's side of Quinn's car. Once in the car Quinn drove both of them to the park, the two girls and Brittany use to always hang out at that park because Brittany always loved to feed the ducks. Quinn turned off her car and undone her seat belt, grabbed her phone and sent a quick text to Rachel letting her know that she was okay. Quinn felt bad that she just up and left the diva in the cafeteria, they hadn't really spent much time together that week and she was hoping Rachel wouldn't look too much into the reason why. Although Quinn knew that she would be making it up to the diva tomorrow. She turned around in the driver's seat putting her back against the driver's door and looked at the Latina, waiting for her to talk; they hadn't said a word to each other while in the car.

Santana looked out of the passenger's window and started to talk, "So I kinda sung Brittany a song today, Songbird from the Rumours album for our assignment this week." Quinn didn't say anything she just waited for the Latina to continue; she knew the girl wasn't finished. "Of course she loved it... But she asked me to go on 'Fondue for Two' with her and she wants to ask me to Prom. What the fuck am I going to do, Q?"
