Keep the faith

Chapter 1: Secrets revealed

Disclaimer: I only own Glee on CD and DVD!

I own: Sam's older sister, Faith!

Sam was in the choir room with Will and the New Directions, they were rehearsing for Sectionals when Finn decided to confront him about what he saw the night before at 6:00 PM.

"I saw you with Quinn at Faith's house last night!" said Finn as he shot a harsh glare in Sam's direction.

"And Kurt the week before" said Rachel as she stood up and stood next to her boyfriend while glaring at Sam.

"They were just helping me!" said Sam, trying to explain but failed miserably.

Will turned in his seat to look at him with curiosity in his eyes.

"Hold on! How were they helping you out?" said Will as Sam took a deep breath and started to explain.

"Kurt was helping me paint my room and Quinn was helping me with the English homework" said Sam as Finn growled at him, starting to get really, really impatient.

"Then why were you at Faith's house?" Finn growled through his teeth, getting impatient.

Then Sam snapped.

"Because that's where I live! My parents died a year ago and I would've ended up with my grandparents or in care if my sister hadn't stepped in to look after me!" said Sam, glaring at Finn as everyone stared at him in pure shock and Finn looked completely stunned.

"Dude, I didn't realise that Faith was your older sister..." Finn trailed off, not sure of what to say next. "Dude, what's going on?" he asked, noticing that Sam had zoned out for a minute.

"Sorry, flashback" said Sam as Finn's eyes widened.

"Your sister seems pretty annoying" said Quinn as Sam smiled at her.

"I know, she's really annoying at home" said Sam as Quinn let out a laugh.

"True, she walked in on us when we were making out on your bed" said Quinn, letting out a laugh.

"Oh my God, that was so embarrassing!" said Sam, wincing at the memory.

"You said it!" said Quinn, giggling.

"Sam, how did your parents... Die?" asked Rachel, curiosity showing in her eyes.

"That's personal, Rachel" said Sam as he glared at Finn's girlfriend with his emerald green eyes.

"Please dude? It would help us understand" said Finn as he pulled Sam to his feet but Sam managed to wriggle away from him when he tried to squeeze his hand in reassurance.

"You wouldn't! It's all my fault, Finn!" said Sam as Finn's eyes widened in shock.

"Dude, why didn't you say anything to us?" asked Finn as his eyes widened in shock.

"I didn't want a repeat of what went on at Riverside Academy" said Sam as Will stared at him.

"What happened at your old school, Sam?" asked Mike as he looked at Sam with a worried look in his eyes.

"I was bullied for a year" said Sam as Quinn's eyes practically popped out of their sockets.

"Oh my God!" said Quinn, shocked at what her boyfriend had just said. A few moments later, Sam left the choir room and went to the auditorium to sing a song on his own to get some space and privacy, little did he know that Finn and Rachel had followed him to secretly listen.

What have I done?
I wish I could run,
Away from this ship going under
Just trying to help
Hurt everyone else
Now I feel the weight of the world is on my shoulders

What can you do when your good isn't good enough
And all that you touch tumbles down?
Cause my best intentions
Keep making a mess of things,
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me to get it right, to get it right?

Can I start again, with my faith shaken?
Cause I can't go back and undo this
I just have to stay and face my mistakes,
But if I get stronger and wiser, I'll get through this

What can you do when your good isn't good enough?
And all that you touch tumbles down?
Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things,
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me to get it right?

So I throw up my fist, throw a punch in the air,
And accept the truth that sometimes life isn't fair!
Yeah, I'll send out a wish, yeah, I'll send up a prayer
And finally someone will see how much I care

Sam stopped singing and wiped the tears that were welling up in his eyes as bad memories flashed through his mind, Finn and Rachel walked down to the stage and Sam looked up to see them walking over to him.

"Guys, what are you doing here?" asked Sam as Rachel smiled at him sweetly.

"We heard you singing" said Rachel, smiling.

"That was really good, dude" said Finn as he smiled at his best friend.

"Who wrote the song? Taylor Swift?" Rachel asked hopefully, trying to guess which pop artist wrote the song that Sam was singing a few moments ago, Sam rolled his eyes at her for that.

"I did" said Sam as Rachel's eyes widened in excitement.

"No way! We can use it for Regionals if we get there" said Rachel as Sam rolled his eyes again.

"Rachel, I don't want to use it again, I only sang it twice last year" said Sam as Finn looked at him, curiosity in his eyes.

"When did you use it?" asked Finn as he looked at Sam, his eyes glowing with curiosity.

"Last year's Regionals and my parents' funeral..." said Sam, trailing off at the end, trying so hard not to start crying in front of two of his best friends.

Finn noticed and allowed his instincts to kick in and react, wrapping his strong arms around Sam and made small, comforting circles with his hand, not caring if it looked totally silly and pathetic.

Rachel's eyes filled with tears because she felt sorry for Sam, he had lost his parents in some way and she had no idea what it was.

So she wiped her tears away and Sam was just pulling out of Finn's tight embrace and the three of them sat down on the stage, she had to ask.

She and Finn had a right to know, right?

"Sam, I know you won't want to talk about it but how did your parents die?" said Rachel as she took Sam's hand and squeezed it encouragingly.

Sam took a deep breath and started to explain.

"Mom and dad were driving me to a horse riding lesson at the local stables, they were talking and dad didn't see the truck, we crashed into the back of it and they both died in hospital at 7:30 pm" said Sam, his eyes welling up with tears that immediately started to fall silently down his cheeks.

Rachel's eyes widened as she wrapped her small arms around Sam's waist, squeezing hard.

"I'm so, so sorry, Sam" said Rachel as gently as she could, Finn was stunned as he rested a hand on Sam's shoulder, trying to show support while trying to register what his best friend had just told him and Rachel.

And Finn and Rachel couldn't even imagine what Sam had to go through at the age of just fourteen.
