CHAPTER 26:
Big mistake.
Robby

"Robby, please-"

"I promise I'll be back, okay? I just need to check on Quinn," I promised Sam, who was begging for me to stay here at my dads but Quinn was an absolute reck.

And when I dropped her off, her mom wasn't home, so I worried.

On the drive over, taking Sam's car, I couldn't help but feel that something was wrong. Quinn was kissed by Hawk, someone she trusted and just wanted to be good again, and was betrayed. She's been hurt so much. . .

But she'd never go that far, right?

She's strong, she's stubborn, she's talented and despite not being able to talk for six years, she was able to smile through it.

To be honest, she's never said why she was mute. She obviously doesn't need to tell us, but it did leave me curious.

"Quinn!" I shouted as I entered her house, and I heard giggling in the living room.

"Quinn! Quinn, are you-what are you doing?!" I immediately spotted her drinking wine and her moms alcohol cupboard unlocked and open.

"Just having fun! Here, this one's pink!" She smiled, handing me the pink bottle.

Oh shit.

"Quinn, you're drunk. You need water and sleep."

"N-no, I don't want sleep. Or water, waters gross. But this one looks like water!"

I groaned, "Come on, let's go," and I took the bottle from her hands, and started putting them back in the cupboard.

"You're no fun," She pouted.

"And you're a lightweight. And underage! Quinn, you could get into serious trouble-"

"I'm capable of doing shit myself! I'm writing a whole fucking song!" She announced, pushing herself up off the chair but then immediately stumbled back.

"Come on, I'll help you up-" She then threw herself on me, her arms hanging lazily around my neck.

"I like your hair. It's pretty," She smiled.

"Thank you, but-"

"I've always wanted a boyfriend with long hair. It seems nice."

"Quinn, let's get you to bed."

"I wanted to kiss you, but you're with Sam, and I'm not a wrecking ball," She sighed.

"I wanna sleep on the couch," She flopped herself into the couch and cuddled up to its warmth, and I grabbed a blanket to put over her.

"You like me?"

"I don't know," She revealed mindlessly.

"Who were those songs for? The ones in your journal?" I felt bad that I was disappointed by her answer, but also confused as to why I had hoped it was me.

"Hawk. Before all that," She waved her hand around.

"He's still hot. Oops! I'm sorry," She giggled and pulled me onto the couch.

"Night night?" I chuckled.

"Goodnight-" She reached up and kissed my cheek, but I moved a bit and she managed to kiss my smile line before falling back onto the couch.

Shit.
