Back to You

Quinn was picking at her food during the lunch break. They had ordered pizza and were all eating together in the choir room.

"Quinn."

Quinn picked her head up and looked at Mercedes. "Sorry, what?"

"I asked you how your mom's doing." Mercedes said.

"Oh, she's good. She's out running errands all day, so Beth's with Finn's mom, but everyone's good." Quinn smiled. "What about your parents? Tell them I said hi."

"Why is Beth at Finn's?" Sam wondered.

"My mom's out all day and I figured it'd be easier for everyone if Beth was home." Quinn answered. "And she can't be home alone and I'm here so-"

"And I'm not allowed to see Beth." Puck cut Quinn off. "Quinn said I'm my dad and I can't see Beth because she's worried."

"I didn't say you are your dad, I said you're like him." Quinn clarified. "And I told you I don't care what you do, but you need to return my messages because if something happens to Beth and I can't reach you, I... I just need you to be around for her, okay?"

"Yeah, and I will, but I didn't get any messages from you." Puck said as he glanced at Ally, who was just observing like everyone else.

"Then call your phone company." Quinn suggested.

"You can't take her away from me, Quinn." Puck stated. "You can't."

"Actually, I can." Quinn pointed out. "And I'm sick of you acting like I do this to hurt you. Or Beth. I'm doing this for her own good."

"No, you're not. You're punishing me because-"

"I told you I'm done talking about this." Quinn interrupted as she stood up. "I'm not gonna sit here and fight with you all day in front of all our friends. It's not their business, and I have rehearsal."

"Quinn."
