"Brittany! Hey, why won't you talk to me?" Sam ran down the hall after Brittany who was clearly ignoring him. She hugged her books to her chest, willing the tears in her eyes not to fall. There was no way she could face Sam, not now anyway. She needed to talk to Santana first. And until then, Sam would have to wait. She quickened her pace and finally saw a bathroom up ahead and ducked inside. Once the door was shut, she leaned against it and slid down to the floor, letting the tears fall. Sam knocked on the door for a few minutes and then gave up.
"I'm so sorry, Sam." She whispered, wiping away her tears and checking her appearance in the mirror before heading out to her class. For the rest of the day, she avoided Sam, even skipping glee just so that she wouldn't have to see him.
"Hey Sam, where's Brittany?" Blaine asked as Sam walked into the choir room alone that afternoon. Sam shrugged and sat down in a chair off to the side.
"Is everything okay with you two?" Tina asked coming over to him.
"I don't know, Tina. She hasn't spoken to me all day and she's deliberately avoiding me." Sam said, getting frustrated.
"I'm sure everything's okay. Maybe she's just having a bad day. I mean she's hardly talked to me all day either which is unusual, she normally can't stop talking to me." Blaine reasoned. Sam scowled at them both and they retreated back to their seats, leaving him alone.
"All right, guys. Your assignment this week is easy, I want you to find a song that says exactly how you feel. Does anyone want to have a go?" Mr Schue asked as he walked in and wrote 'Feelings' on the whiteboard.
"I've got a song, Mr Schue." Sam jumped up from his seat and nodded at the band. As he began to sing, he let his anger flow out through him, dancing violently along with the music.
The day a door is closed,
The echoes fill your soul.
They won't say which way to go,
Just trust your heart.
To find what you're here for,
Open another door.
But I'm not sure anymore.
It's just so hard.
The voices in my head,
Tell me they know best!
Got me on the edge,
they're pushin', pushin',
they're pushin'
I know they got a plan,
But the ball's in my hands!
This time it's man-to-man,
I'm droppin', fightin', it's time too.
Whole world's upside down, it's spinning faster
What do I do now without you?
I don't know, where to go, what's the right team?
I want my own thing. So bad I'm gonna Scream!
I can't choose, so confused! What's it all mean?
I want my own dream. So bad I'm gonna Scream!
I'm kickin' down the walls.
I gotta make 'em fall!
Just break through them all!
I'm pushin', crashin', I'm gonna
Fight to find myself,
Me and no one else!
Which way I can't tell, searchin',
Searchin', can't find a
Road that I should take,
I should, turn right or left it's,
Like nothing works without you!
I don't know, where to go, what's the right team?
I want my own thing. So bad I'm gonna Scream!
I can't choose, so confused! What's it all mean?
I want my own dream. So bad I'm gonna Scream!
Yeah the clock's, running down,
hear the crowd gettin' loud!
I'm consumed by the sound!
Is it her? Is it love?
can the music ever be enough?
Gotta work it out, gotta work it out!
You can do it, you can do it!
I don't know, where to go, what's the right team?
I want my own thing. So bad I'm gonna Scream!
I can't choose, so confused! What's it all mean?
I want my own dream. So bad I'm gonna Scream!
I don't know, where to go, what's the right team?
I want my own thing. I want my own thing!
I can't choose, so confused! What's it all mean?
I want my own dream. So bad I'm gonna Scream!
When he was done, Sam left the room quickly, leaving the rest of the glee club in shock at his behaviour. He wandered down the halls, wondering what could be bothering Brittany. She hadn't spoken to him since New Year's Day when she'd called him, three days ago. He'd accepted that she was probably just busy those other two days but today she had no excuse to not talk to him.
"Um, okay, anyone else?" Mr Schue looked at them and when they were all silent, he shrugged and dismissed them.
"Hello?" Santana dived on her phone once she saw that Brittany was calling, answering it with a perky voice that certainly did not match her current mood.
"Santana? I need your help. I think I've made a huge mistake."
The song is 'Scream' from High School Musical 3
