Good Girls Go Bad

"Noah."

"Mmm." Puck groaned in response.

"I can't fall asleep." Quinn said.

"Me neither." Puck replied, though Quinn had woken him up with her tossing and turning. "Why can't you sleep?"

"I don't know." Quinn answered.

"Okay." Puck said. He propped himself up on his elbow and looked at Quinn, who was sitting up beside him. "You wanna talk?"

"About what?" Quinn asked.

"Anything."

Quinn bit her lip and looked at Puck.

"Wanna talk about how this situation is gonna affect us?" Puck suggested. "We have sex, we share a bed, we're living together."

"Again." Quinn nodded. "Noah, you don't wanna start something with me now."

"Why not?" Puck questioned Quinn.

"If Miss Pillsbury is right and I can still graduate and go to college, I'm gonna be leaving in, like, six months." Quinn pointed out.

"So?" Puck asked.

"So." Quinn repeated. "You and I would never be able to survive long-distance. We never even survived dating in high school."

"But we always find our way back to each other." Puck stated. "Why is that?"

"I... I don't know." Quinn said softly. She took a deep breath. "I care about you, Noah. And I'm grateful for you because despite everything that's happened and everything I've done, I know you care about me, too."

"I do." Puck nodded.

"I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought about us being together again." Quinn continued. "I just don't know if it's a good idea to start something now when I'll be gone in a few months."

"Well, whatever you decide." Puck said. "But even if you don't wanna be with me, you should know I'm not going anywhere."

"I know." Quinn smiled.

"Good." Puck smiled back as he laid back down. "Now get some sleep. We have school tomorrow."

"Yeah." Quinn replied as she laid down. "Night, Noah."

"Night, Quinn."
