Hi! First of all thank you for taking the time to read this. So, I was just thinking about how stressing my cousin is when this idea came to my mind, yes I know it sounds confusing but she's getting married and I'm one of the bridesmaids. The point is that she had a long distance relationship, her boyfriend lived in another state for years and they had an I think 5 or 6 years relationship and now they're getting married when he finally finished college and found a job in our state, so I thought 'If they did it why can't Sam and Quinn?' and I came up with this idea. Hope you enjoy.

It was the first day of her senior year and she was walking down the McKinley High's halls like she owned them. She had made a plan with Brittany and Santana to rule the school again this year and so far it was working. Then of course she saw the locker, his locker. It had been only a month since he left and it felt like a lifetime. She was lost in her thoughts about how much she missed Sam when she heard Santana talking to her.
"Are you even listening to me Quinn?"
"Sorry, I was just... thinking" she said looking again at his locker, it was so weird seeing someone else there.
"You totally did it with froggy lips before he left".
"I did not" Quinn answered giving her friend a deadly glare. "And he has a name just so you know".
Santana was about to reply when they were interrupted by Rachel Berry who gave them a confused look
"How come you are already wearing the cheerios uniform? You quitted last year, don't you have to try out again?"
"Well, we've been really busy this summer tr..."
"Specially Quinn" Santana said interrupting her.
"Stop it!" Quinn replied almost yelling. "So Rachel... How are you and Finn? Did he finally got bored of you?" She said in a bitter tone. Even though she didn't love Finn she was still a little hurt about the way he always preferred Rachel over her.
"I'm not here to talk about my love life. I need to talk to you about something very important"
"And I couldn't care less so move Berry. Come on San, let's find Brittany, she's probably lost somewhere"
"I got a call from my mother" the petite girl said very quickly.
And at that moment Quinn's world stopped, she just remembered grabbing Rachel's wrist and taking her to the nearest empty room. Then she found herself crying in the bathroom all alone. She reached for her cell phone, he was probably in class but she didn't care, maybe it was better to go and find Puck, after all he was Beth's father and he would understand her better but she wanted him. And who was she kidding? No one understands her better than Sam Evans so she was calling him. He picked up the phone immediately.
"Quinn?" he said in a surprised tone. After he left he called and texted her every single day and she just ignored him. So, when he saw who was calling, he didn't care about his class and ran out to answer the phone, he knew it was important. She was sobbing and he wasn't understanding a single word of what she was saying. "Quinn just calm down please, you know it breaks my heart when you cry and well... I'm not understanding anything".
"She's here... with her... got a job at school" Quinn finally managed to say between sobs and Sam immediately understood. Yes, people thought he was dumb but he wasn't dumb when it came to Quinn. He hated himself so bad for not being there for her right now, when she needed him the most. "I'm so sorry Quinn I just.."
"Just sing to me Sam" she said interrupting him. Not that she would admit it in public but she felt so peaceful when Sam sang to her and when they were dating he would always sing to her on the phone before she went to sleep.
Sam started singing. She didn't know the song but it was beautiful, everything Sam did was beautiful to her.
"You are the moonlight of my life every night
Giving all my love to you
My beating heart belongs to you
I walked for miles til I found you
I'm here to honor you
If I lose everything in the fire
I'm sending all my love to you"
They spent some time in silence and Sam was beginning to think she was gone but she finally spoke.
"You were in class, weren't you?" she sounded calm. And she was, Sam had that effect on her.
"Yes, but you needed me and even though you've been ignoring my calls every since I left I can't do that to you" He said kind of joking but in reality he was very hurt by that.
"I'm so sorry about that Sam"
"And I'm so sorry about not being there for you"
"That's not your fault Samuel. I'll call you after school I promise. So go to class, I don't think skipping classes is a good way to start in your new school".
"I love you Q" he said, but she had already hung up the phone.
The rest of her day was uneventful. She finally found Santana and Brittany and they didn't ask about her encounter with Rachel Berry, they knew that if Quinn didn't tell them was because she didn't wanted to talk about it. Puck seemed to know about Shelby and Beth coming to Lima though, and he was avoiding her. Not that she wanted to talk to him either, after Beth was born they just decided to ignore the subject, like pretending it never happened would take the pain away. She knew he blamed her for giving up her daughter.
After the classes ended she had to go to the Cheerios try outs. Over the summer coach Sylvester approached her, she wanted Quinn as a cheerio again. The coach had some bigger plans for herself so she couldn't pay that much of attention to the squad this year, but in order to succeed in her plan the Cheerios had to win nationals this year. "I've had always thought of you as a young Sue Sylvester Q, so you're basically coaching the Cheerios this year" the coach had said. "Of course you always disappoint me so you're doing the job with sand bags and her girlfriend".
So there they were. She felt like a part of a judging panel on one of those talent reality shows. Brittany was the nice one, Quinn was the realistic one and Santana the mean one. They already had a head cheerleader because Coach Sylvester said Becky was going to be the captain this year. She was exhausted and all the girls sucked, she just wanted to go home and call Sam.
The try outs ended and nobody made the squad that day, they had to do that all week long, the list of people that signed for tryouts was gigantic.
"I say that we tape it and it could be a segment on Fondue for Two. Lord Tubbington can be the host" Brittany was saying.
"Yeah sure, bring your camera tomorrow Brit" Quinn said as she finally left the gym, ready to go home and talk to Sam.
A/N: I hope you liked it, this is my first fic and I'm really nervous. Reviews are welcome and I promise there will be more Sam in the next chapters (if you are still interested of course); I just didn't want to make this one too long. In case you wonder, the song is Last Night on Earth by Green Day, absolutely beautiful in my opinion. Please review and thanks for reading :)
