@oflettermanjacketsâ asked: â donât act like you care. â
â puck - â she hesitates, trying to find the fine line between keeping her distance & doing everything in her power to reassure him that somebody cares about him. that she, cares about him. Â Â because she does. Â Â but she had the feeling this was more about the prior, the feeling of nobody caring about you. no matter how many promises or declarations you hear, the betrayals of trust that linger after someone you thought cared about you breaks your heart ---- they change you, & warp your perception of what it means to truly care about someone. & somewhere along the way itâs hard to remember a time where you werenât entirely, unlovable.
thatâs what draws her back. thereâs a deep understanding between the two, one that sheâs yet to find in any other man. thatâs a personal pain that got in the way of so many opportunities for happiness for quinn. & sheâd give anything for someone to remind her that she, was not unlovable.
â look at me. â sheâs steady with her hands, deliberately placing one on his jaw while the other pressed against his chest to maintain their distance (for all too many reasons), & her voice is firm to make sure he listens. if there was anything she could do in this situation, it would start with getting his attention. not that itâs ever been all that hard before. â i wouldnât be here right now, if i didnât care about you... donât you think santanaâs been blowing up my phone asking why iâm running so late ? â itâs not everything she has, not even close to the full depth of her emotions regarding him & this situation, but every ounce of that feeling plays itself out in her eyes. eyes that softly gaze up at him to balance the fabray fierceness in her tone. she wants him to feel how powerfully she feels about this. she wants him to understand, even if itâs a lesson sheâs still learning herself. she wants to do for him what she so badly wishes someone would do for her. she wants him to believe that heâs worthy of love.
