Disclaimer: I obviously don't own Glee because the story line would be heading in a new direction (Ha, see what I did?). 'Glitter In The Air' belongs to Pink.

Rating: K

Characters: Sam E. And Quinn F.

Song: Glitter In The Air by Pink

Lyrics: Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?

Author's Note: This is the first in what will hopefully become a series of short fics and is based around a line in a song. My idea for this came from CaptainTightPants12's awesome fic Kill Me Or Kiss Me? I love the song that I've chosen and it has been stuck in my head for ages, so I hope you enjoy what came from it!

Quinn could feel the night slowly passing. Somewhere in the three hours she had been sitting on the sofa, clutching a mug of now cold coffee, the sun had set and the stars had appeared. She shivered slightly as a breeze wafted in from the open window, but she didn't get up to close it.

Sam Evans had been back in town for nearly a week. He was just as she remembered: the shaggy blonde hair, the sparkling green eyes and the cute smile that always seemed to be plastered on his face.

This summer, when Sam had told her that he was dating Mercedes, Quinn had felt a pang of jealousy. She tried to bury her feelings: it was her fault, after all, that Sam had broken up with her. She would try to act civil around the infamous diva Mercedes Jones whenever they passed in the hall or were at glee club, and, over time, all feelings for Sam Evan seemed to vanish.

Then he had moved to Kentucky with his family. Although she would never admit it, Sam was never far from Quinn's mind.

She tried to become a different person over the summer, as if her new personality could make her feelings change. She had lost Beth and now she had lost Sam, so why not lose herself? She tried to become McKinley's 'bad girl'-the girl that no one would want to get close to, the girl that would never have to open up to anyone ever again.

But then Shelby had convinced her to become her 'regular' self again. The bleach covered the rebellious pink streaks, the baggy clothes were replaced with the cute dresses. And when the real Quinn returned, so did Sam.

She could remember that fateful day in glee club so clearly. The last thing she had expected to happen when Finn had walked in the room with a big announcement was the return of her former lover. Her heart had done back flips when he looked at her, but he seemed to avoid contact with her after she suggested they get back together.

Does he really not have any feelings for me anymore? Quinn wondered desperately as a single tear slid down her cheek. She hated herself right now for feeling so vulnerable and lonely. She had wasted a huge amount of time just waiting for her ex to call, time that could have been spent studying or even sleeping. But Sam Evans was worth the time. He was worth hating herself over. He was worth the wait.

A/N: So, what did you think? Should I continue? If so, give me a line or two from a song to base my next fic on. I may interpret it slightly differently than you do or the way the artist intended it to but I hope it turns out OK. I really liked Sam and Quinn together-they just suited each other. Then Quinn just had to be an idiot. Oh well, I still love Dianna Agron! Review please!
