WOW! It has been a while since I've updated a story or even written anything! Anyway… I'm obsessed with this couple, I really think that is Murphy put these two together it would put up a whole new plot line as well as A LOT of drama for the show.

It took me a little while to get the story going. I'm hoping it turns out how I see it in my mind.

This specific story starts after the Original Songs episode.

**I do not own anything, the characters, songs… All of it is owned by FOX**

-All she wanted was to feel that feeling. The one where everything was okay and you weren't alone. But no mater how hard she tried to fix the mistakes of herself and others, nothing ever worked.-

The announcer's voiced boomed overhead, introducing the announcer of the winners "And now to announce our winner, governor Stevens' wife, Carla Turlington Stevens!"

The crowd applause and the new directions stood anxious to hear the result.

"My husband is verbal abusive, and I have been drinking since noon."

There was as stillness over the audience as rolled his eyes.

"I'm bored, let's just see who won huh?"

The silence was unbearable. Rachel couldn't take it. Every inch of her was shaking. If they won that meant that she did it, she wrote a song that influenced people. A song that won them regionals. If they won, they'd be going to Nationals! Maybe if they won Finn would see just how creative she could be.

"The New Directions! You're going to Nationals in New York!"

She screamed. Who wouldn't scream? They won! After all their hard work, sweat, and blood! They finally won.

The entire club was jumping up and down celebrating. Everyone with smiles on their faces. The Trophy was being passed around. Rachel was so ecstatic. She turned around giving everyone hugs. As she looked up she saw Finn. He was kissing Quinn, celebrating with each other.

Her heart stopped. All the excitement she was feeling, all the happiness, and joy, was gone in an instant. Replaced with hurt and confusion. Mr. Shue lead them backstage to gather their things and guide them to the bus that was waiting.

Sam watched as her face went from so happy to completely devastated.

As they were loading the bus, everyone was celebrating. Everyone but one. Rachel sat at the very back of the bus crying silently. Sam looked back and starting walking towards her.

"Great job today Rachel. We couldn't have done it without you!"

She glanced up and smiled a smile that didn't reach her eyes.

"Thanks Sam, you performed really well today" Her voice was dead with no emotion to what she was saying. Sam sat down next to her. "You know it'll get better. One day you'll wake up and forget why you even dated him."

"Are you over it?" there was curiosity in her eyes. Rachel knew that Sam was really the victim here. He was the one who was cheated on and lied to and yet he seemed so okay and put together. "Not even a little" he smiled sheepishly as he said this "I just tell myself that I'm better then that. That something better is out there waiting for me."

"You're a good guy Sam. You didn't deserve what happened" she said this with truth to her voice

"Well you Finn doesn't deserve you" She looked at him is disbelief. Sure people had said that she'll find someone better but she never was told that Finn didn't deserve her. She looked at Sam in the eye, trying to find the lie within that statement. She couldn't find anything but truth and sincerity.

Sam didn't know why he said that, but it was true. Finn was a hypocrite and a cheat and liar and frankly he just didn't care for him. Rachel wasn't as bad as everyone thought. She was just outspoken and stern and oh so fragile. He knew Rachel was searching for reassurance from him as he said this, so he put his arm around her shoulders. "Until you realized it, if you need a shoulder to cry on I'm here"

Rachel nodded her head and laid her head down on his shoulder. She continued to cry while Sam let her cry. But she felt better. She mad a new friend on the back of the bus. One who knew what she was going through.

So its a little choppy. But I'm hoping it'll turn out better.
