From the Sidelines, Outside Looking In

A three-shot. Hevans and Fabrevans

A Heart Full of Love

The first time he sees her, it's across the football field. He was sitting on the bleachers with Kurt; the only person who had decided to befriend him on the first day of school back in freshman year. The girl is a beauty; blonde hair, creamy skin and a gentle smile. He was sure that if he blinked, she would disappear like a phantom in the night. She was dressed in a cheer-leading outfit. Her blonde hair was pulled up in a high ponytail. He wanted to see her eyes. He needed to see them. He was almost certain they were green.

"Sam?" he looked over at Kurt, who looked a little worried. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah," he turned back and saw the beautiful blonde girl was still looking at him with a soft smile. Kurt followed his gaze and felt heart grow heavier. Of course, he thought bitterly. Of course Sam would fall head over heels in love with Lucy. No, he said with a light shake of his head. He fell in love with Quinn. She wasn't Lucy anymore. She would never be Lucy anymore. Not after she changed herself. He missed her auburn hair and her dorky glasses. He missed her cheeks, he missed calling her Lulu. He missed her being there for her when he was bullied.

Now she was Quinn.

Lucy died when they were thirteen.

Now only Quinn lived. And as much as he wanted to destroy whatever chances Sam had of getting with Quinn, he knew the lemon dyed blonde was a very determined individual. He would want to speak with Quinn, get to know her. The look of love shining in his eyes made him want to cry. He wasn't sure why. He knew he cared deeply for Sam. Yet it hurt his heart more and more with each passing second as Sam and Quinn shared a look of pure attraction. Not carnal desire or schoolyard crushing.

He could practically feel the love coming from them.

Was it even possible to fall in love within a day?

The sixteen year old did not know. He had only ever loved once. Finn had not been the perfect candidate but he was fourteen and foolish. He was not sure if he could ever love anyone after that.

But he could help Sam.

He only hoped reminisces of Lucy was still in Quinn's heart.

"Hello Quinn,"

She turned her head to see Kurt standing there. He looked sheepish, "Hello Kurt."

"I wanted to know if you would like to meet me in the auditorium this afternoon. Before Cheerios practice sound okay? I know you don't have to be there till three thirty." He said quickly. He only hoped she would say yes. He wanted to see Sam just a little bit happy. Seeing him crushed made the young countertenor want to cry.

Quinn shrugged, she didn't have much to do before practice. She nodded towards her former friend and fellow glee club member. "Sure."

"Thanks," he said.

He turned on his heel and headed towards Sam's locker. He smiled when he saw the quarterback buried in his locker. He leaned over and tapped his shoulder. The blonde looked up before he saw Kurt with a smile on his face. His best friend hugged him and Kurt knew his heart was beating faster than he could ever imagine.

"What's that smile for?" Sam asked.

"I um, need a little help in the auditorium this afternoon. You free?"

"Yeah." Sam smiled. The male soprano smiled quickly and then turned on his heel to leave, trying to hide his sudden heavy heart. "Oh and Kurt," he glanced over his shoulder. "You okay? You've been a little down."

"Just something," he said. "I woke up a feeling a little down."

Sam nodded softly and hugged him. "I hope you feel better. Maybe you just need to go looking for someone."

If he only knew, Kurt thought bitterly. "Nah, I'm okay, just a little under the weather. Promise."

Sam ruffed his hair. "See you after school."

Kurt watched him go. "In my life/there's been no one like him anywhere /Anywhere, where he is/if he asked/I'd be his." he sang softly into the empty hallway.

Entering the auditorium, Sam was shocked to find the beautiful cheerleader he had seen earlier. She was sitting on the edge of the stage with a puzzled look. Had Kurt not arrived yet? He turned on his heel to leave when a soft voice called out.

"Hello," he turned around and found her staring at him. He wasn't sure what he was doing but he found himself standing at the bottom of the stairs, looking into those beautiful eyes. He had never felt the sudden urge to sing before but now, he wanted to. So badly.

"A heart full of love/A heart full of song/" he sang softly and he felt a blush creep up his neck to his cheeks at the sudden realization. He bent his head in embarrassment. "I'm doing things all wrong/ Oh God, for shame/ I do not even know your name/ Dear Mademoiselle, will you tell?"

"A heart full of love/A heart full of no regret" sang the blonde angel in front of him.

"My name is Sam Evans."

"And mine's Quinn."

"Quinn, I do know what to say."

"Then make no sound," Quinn stepped back as Sam came onstage. They eyes locked, green-hazel on green eyes. Quinn blushed softly and her hands reached out for his, a smile of affection blooming along her lips as he brought them up to kiss her knuckles.

"I am lost."

"I am found."

Neither of them noticed the figure standing in the shadows, a look of heartbreak on his face. Kurt watched as Sam drew the blonde cheerleader closer, singing another refrain with pure love in his voice. Kurt sang quietly as they continued their confessions of love.

"A heart full of love" Sam sang softly looking into Quinn's eyes as Kurt sang. "He was never mine to lose."

"A heart full of you." Quinn vocalized while Kurt continued. "Why regret what could not be?"

Sam caressed Quinn's cheek, his thumb running along her dimples before he smiled warmly. "A single look and I knew."

Quinn blushed. "I knew it too."

"These words he'll never say to me/ Not to me"

"From today," Sam vowed.

"Not to me/Not for me"

"Everyday."

Sam and Quinn combined their voices as their foreheads pressed together, so lost in their bubble. Kurt backed against the railing and tried not to cry as the trio finished off their unknowing song.

"For isn't not a dream/No not a dream/At all."

"His heart full of love/He will never/feel this way."

The young man turned his eyes on the couple and felt his heart shatter at the sight of them shaking a tender kiss.

That following Monday, Sam found it odd that his best friend had not greeted him at his locker.

"Hey man," he turned to find Finn staring at him.

"Hey, where's your brother?" he asked.

Finn looked hurt. "He transferred to Dalton, said the bullying had only gotten worse."

Sam wasn't sure how much it hurt. But he had decided to show Dave Karofsky and Azimo how his fist felt about them driving his best friend out. But even Quinn's loving smile and sweet kiss after he had gotten out of the principal's office with only a warning did not make him feel any better.
