A/N - Yes, this is an extremely short chapter, but I just had a couple of scenes I wanted to throw in. I'm probably going to take a little hiatus from this story while I focus on the Faberry and Puckleberry stories I've been working on (see my page if you're curious). I plan on coming back to this in the future, because I love writing Quinn/Rory, but for now I'm juggling to many fanfictions at once. Too many Glee feelings: not enough time to express them. But, I'm sure y'all know what that's like ;D

"Wise men say

Only Fools Rush In"

Rory stood by Brad at the piano as he sang in the choir room the following Monday. Quinn was in the front row, beaming at him. He was making her want to cry.

"But I can't help

Falling in love with you"

People were starting to realize that she was the one he was singing to. A few of them thought it was sweet, but a few were extremely confused.

"Shall I say

Would it be a sin

If I can't help

Falling in love with you."

Quinn blushed and looked away sweetly.

"Like a river flows

To the sea

So it goes

Some things are meant to be"

He stopped in front of her and held out his hand.

"Take my hand…"

She gave it to him willingly.

"…Take my whole life too

Cause I can't help falling in love with you"

When he was finished, the applause was strong, but quiet. Quinn stood up and wrapped her boyfriend in a secure hug.

"I have something to say," Quinn told Doctor Jessup that afternoon, storming into her office.

"Of course you have something to say. You're supposed to have something to say. This is therapy."

Quinn shook her head. "I'm not going to listen to you." She said quickly. "I tried, but it wasn't working."

"I'm assuming this has to do with your Irish fellow…" Doctor Jessup concluded intelligently.

"We're together," Quinn said. "For real… It wasn't forced. We just wanted to make the commitment. That was our decision."

"I guess it was, wasn't it," The doctor nodded acceptingly.

"And I know you think I'm not stable enough to be in a relationship, but he keeps me sane! When I'm with him, I feel safe. I don't feel like he's going to hurt me, and more importantly, I don't feel like I'm going to hurt him. And, if this turns out to be a mistake, than I'll have a real test, won't I? Because you're the one who told me to learn from my mistakes instead of trying to erase them, but how can I ever learn again if I just stop living. I have to be allowed to make mistakes, and you don't have the power to stop me."

"Wow…" Doctor Jessup began to nod. "Sit down Quinn."

Quinn obeyed, her jaw clenched. "I can't stay long…"

"I'm not asking you to," Doctor Jessup smiled. "I have to tell you, I'm impressed. You're standing up for yourself, and for the first time, I feel like you're thinking like an adult."

Quinn wasn't sure how to react to the support. "Thank you…"

"And maybe I owe you an apology. Casual dating isn't for everyone."

It was only the second time an adult had ever really apologized to her, apart from her mom when she brought her back into the house after Beth was born. It made her feel like a grown up.

"I'll come back for a regular session tomorrow," Quinn stood up again. "I wasn't joking. I can't stay. My boyfriend's waiting in the car. We have a date."

"And you felt the need to drop in here on your way out?"

Quinn shrugged. "I couldn't let it sit on my conscious all night."

Doctor Jessup grinned smugly. "I appreciate the fact that you care that much. But Quinn: Remember that you don't owe me anything. I'm just your therapist."

Quinn shook her head. The past couple of weeks had opened her eyes to so much. "Actually, I owe you a lot," She said simply. "Have a great night, Doctor Jessup."

"You too, Quinn."
