One More Chance – Chapter 1

"First Day of Summer"

Quinn's days have been slow ever since Sam had broken up with her for cheating. Sure, she had feelings for Finn when they kissed at that kissing booth during Valentine's Day this year, and when they did it again in the auditorium; but her feelings towards Sam were much greater. And she knew that. Her mind wondered if she actually loved him, because it seemed like it. She never knew how much he meant to her until the break-up happened. Most of her scraps of paper were doodled on; many of them had Sam's name on them and a few hearts drawn around it. She created most of them during class, due to boredom. However, she was on her second break-up now. Finn had broken up with the blonde a few weeks ago, for Rachel of course.

It was a Friday night, and she was up in her room, on her laptop. Summer has just started and today had been her last day of Junior year. They had all said their good-bye's and some tears fell. Quinn's being one of them. Brittany and Santana mentioned that they would throw a party this weekend, possibly tomorrow, to celebrate the end of the school year. Of course, the blonde agreed on going. She was on Facebook, scrolling down and seeing all of the happy messages from everyone. A few minutes later, she felt her phone vibrate and buzz as the screen lit up with Sam's name. A smile formed on her face.

"Hey Q, how's summer going so far for you? Listen, will you be going to San's party tomorrow? – Sam" Quinn bit her bottom lip as she finished reading the message.

After thinking for a while, she replied. "Hi Sam. It's been alright, I guess. How about yours? I agreed on going when she announced it, so I guess I am. Will you be going? – Q"

Sam was currently watching Avatar in the living room with a bowl of popcorn by his side. This was probably the 23rd time watching it, but he didn't mind. The blond spoke along to the movie's dialogue, already knowing most of it by heart. He paused the movie as he noticed his phone light up with Quinn's message. After reading it, he decided to reply.

"That's good, mine has been filled with Avatar; so nothing new. I already mentioned it to my mom that I won't be home tomorrow night, so yeah I'll be going. Actually looking forward to it, specially to catch up with you. It's been a while. – Sam" He hesitated a little before pressing send, knowing that he might have said a little too much. But he let it go, and got back to the movie while eating a handful of popcorn. Stacy walked into the living room with a glass of milk in her hand as she sat next to Sam.

"Hey Sammy, you're watching Avatar again? Don't you ever get tired of that movie," Stacy whined as the blond let out a small laugh.

"Hi little one," he smiled at his younger sister. "No, not really. You know how obsessed I am with it. Some day I'll teach you how to speak Na'vi, okay?" Sam winked at Stacy as she nodded and settled in to accompany him with the film. Stevie and his mom were in the kitchen eating, so it was pretty quiet around the hotel room.

Quinn closed her laptop and decided to turn on her TV as she waited for Sam to reply. It was pretty unusual for him to text her, specially after school was already over. She looked at the message as it arrived, smiling at the last part. She was shocked, she really was. However, the inside of her was happy and excited to hear that. The blonde still had feelings for Sam, and she knew it. It seemed as if tomorrow was going to be a great party.

"Well then I guess I'll be seeing you there. I'm really looking forward to catching up with you too, to be honest. You're probably one of my best friends, Sam. It might be hard to believe, but I trust you with many things. – Q" She knew that she was making a bit step by saying that, but anything to get closer with him. It had been a while, and she really wanted their friendship back to how it was before. A relationship would be a plus.

A few minutes later there was a knock on her bedroom door. "It's open!" she called out, as the door squeaked open. "Hey Mom."

"Hi Quinny, it's almost midnight. You should probably get some rest if you're going to that party tomorrow." Judy smiled at her daughter as Quinn nodded in agreement. "Good night darling."

"Night Mom, see you tomorrow." She watched as her mom exited her room and closed the door after her. Quinn went ahead and turned off her bedside lamp as she saw her phone light up again with a new message from Sam. Their texts may have been the best part about her night.

"Really? Great! I didn't really know I was one of your best friends, and that you trusted me so much. Thanks, it means a lot. It really does, Quinn. I'm going to go sleep, see you tomorrow. – Sam"

Sam turned off the television as his mother and siblings climbed into bed. He himself went over to his bed and placed his phone next to him just incase he received another message from Quinn. The lights were all off and he closed his eyes as he tried to fall asleep.

Quinn put the sleeping timer on her television as she finished texting him back and placed her phone on her bedside table to charge. Her eyes closed slowly as she watched the Cupcake Wars on the Food Network as a way to fall asleep faster. A few minutes later, she was asleep.

"No problem, Sammy. I'm always here for you if you need anything. I'm going to sleep as well, I'll see you tomorrow at the party. Oh and by the way, I miss you Sam. I truly miss you. – Q"

Sam read her text before finally setting his phone on the bedside table as he went to sleep quietly, a smile forming on his face from the blonde's text. A few minutes later, he was fast asleep, that same smile on his face.
