"I love astronomy. Something about all that space makes my problem seem kind of small. You're sitting under Venus, Planet of Love," a voice said from the door startling him out of his thoughts. Sam looked at her and smiled, without missing a beat he remembered their first day in this room alone.
"Actually it's Mars, planet of war," he said and she smirked walking into the room, closer to him. "And if I haven't lost all my brain cells we're on earth."
"What's that about?" she asks and he sighs, looks back down at his notebook and shrugs.
"I got the lowest SAT scores ever recorded at McKinley so now I have to write an essay on my accomplishments to have a chance at even going to a college that doesn't care about my test scores and I haven't accomplished anything," Sam said dejectedly, playing with the pen in his hands.
"That's not true and you know it, you've accomplished so much Sam Evans," she said touching his hand to still his movements and listen to her. "You were there for me when I really needed someone, you're the guy that made me believe that I deserve good things."
"No offence Q but I don't think helping you is an accomplishment that these people are going to want to read about," he said and she rolled her eyes and opened her bag to take out the laptop.
"Well I know I haven't been around much and we've grown apart since my accident but here are a few people who think that you've accomplished more than enough," Quinn said moving so she was standing next to Sam, she opened the laptop and pressed play. "Don't look so skeptical."
Sam took a deep breath and looked at what she was showing him, Artie and Tina and Santana and Brittany and Mercedes and Finn and Blaine had all contributed to the video telling him exactly how much he's achieved. They spoke about his move back to McKinley to help them win sectionals the year before and about him helping them get their nationals trophy back, about him saving sectionals this year by figuring out that the Warblers were cheating and about his impressions, he inspired Santana's first song and helped Mercedes follow her dream, he saved his family from the streets when his dad lost his job and he continued to help anyone in glee that needed help.
"It's not just me," Quinn said, she had tears in her eyes and she knew he did as well. "You have accomplished so much and we all know it and that's what your essay is going to be about."
Sam didn't say anything, he just stood up and hugged her tightly, Quinn laughed but wrapped her arms around him and rested her head on his shoulder, hugging Sam was like coming home again. Quinn pulled away and wiped her eyes, before reaching up and wiping his as well.
"How do you feel about writing that essay now?" Quinn asked smiling. "I'm here to help if you need it but I think you just got all the help you could need."
"You're awesome Quinn thank you," Sam said hugging her again, this time picking her up and twirling her as well.
"Anytime," she said. "Now about the calendar-"
"I had a bad moment," Sam said cutting her off and saying it almost like a question. "They were taking too long to take the picture."
"So you decided that you didn't look muscular enough?" she asked. "Sam you're probably the most in shape guy in the glee room and I'm not just saying that because I'm trying to make you feel better."
"So why are you saying it," he asked, almost scoffing at her.
"Because its true," she said. "Look after Beth I felt like my body was beyond repair, I refused to let anyone see me, I used to change in a dark room or throw towels over the mirror to avoid catching a glimpse of those ugly stretch marks."
"Quinn-" he started to protest but she cut him off.
"Who was it that convinced me to go to the beach with the rest of the gleek's in a two piece costume?" she asked and Sam smiled at the memory, that was also the day he told her that he really was falling in love with her even if it was only a few months that they knew each other. "We all have issues with our bodies and you are never going to look at your body and think it's perfect."
"So what do you suggest oh wise Quinn Fabray," he asked folding his arms across his chest and smiling at her because she may have just made him feel better about everything.
"I suggest that you surround yourself with people who care about you, who will tell you when they think you need to start or stop exercising because they care about your health and honestly, you already have those people in your life," she said shrugging. "Now you just need to learn how to listen to them."
"I think I need to apologize to a few people," he said biting his lip and looking away.
"I think so too," she said putting the laptop back in her bag. "Sam you don't have to show your body to be hot, you look that way fully clothed."
"Thanks," he said amused. "Hey Q?"
"Yeah," she said stopping by the door and turning to look at him.
"I have a song I want to sing, will you help me?" he asked and she nodded and motioned for him to follow her.
"Sam and Quinn have a song to sing for us," Finn said addressing the glee group and calling Sam from his place. "Take it away guys."
Quinn who had been standing by the piano walked forward and took a seat on the stool next to Sam's.
"So I may have went a little crazy about my body for this calendar," Sam said and the rest of the club agreed. "But I'm not the only one who has a problem with the way I look or has been affected by what other people have said about my body so this one is for all of us," he said taking a breath.
He looked back at the band and nodded for them to start.
[Sam]
Every day is so wonderful
Then suddenly, it's hard to breathe
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain, I'm so ashamed
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down... Oh no
So don't you bring me down today
[Quinn]
To all your friends you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The pieces gone, left the puzzle undone
That's the way it is
Quinn looked over at Sam and took his hand in hers singing directly to him now
You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down, oh, no
So don't you bring me down today...
Quinn let go of Sam's hand and faced the rest of the group like he did, wondering if he felt the spraks between them like she had
[Sam (Quinn)]
No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what we say
(no matter what we say)
We're the song inside the tune
Full of beautiful mistakes
And everywhere we go
(and everywhere we go)
The sun will always shine
(sun will always shine)
And tomorrow we might wake on the other side
[Sam and Quinn]
We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down, oh, no
So don't you bring me down today
[Sam]
Oh, yeah, don't you bring me down today, yeah
Don't you bring me down ooh... today
As the last note of the song rang out everyone got to their feet and clapped for the pair, Quinn took a step back and let everyone hug Sam, she saw Marley and Tina with tears in their eyes and wondered if she looked teary as well.
"Hey Quinn," Blaine said hugging her after he broke away from the group. "Thanks for coming back for this."
"It's Sam," Quinn said shrugging. "He would have done the same for me."
"I would have spoken to him myself earlier but I think he may have gotten tired of listening to me," Blair said and Quinn smiled. "And that was a great song."
"I'm on break right now so I'll be around if you need me again," she said looking over at the group to be met with Sam's thankful eyes, she saw Brittany hug him and looked away missing Blaine also staring at the blond boy. "Hey did you know that Tina's been staring at you this whole time?"
"That's another story," Blaine said looking back at her.
"I have time," she said with a smile because she felt this would be very interesting.
A/N : Hey guys I hope you liked this new fabrevans fic I came up with, its just something I thought about after the vid for Sam had no Quinn in it, as a major shipper I felt robbed of a Fabrevans moment so I wrote this. I love the Blam friendship but I just really felt like Quinn should have been involved in that scene somehow so there she is
I think I'm going to continue with this but I'm not sure if I should write them according to the episode that comes out or just make up my own events, please review and let me know what you think and if it's worth it to carry on or to just delete this and start over
I do not own glee neither do I own the song used 'Beautiful' (by Christina Aguilera)
Thank you for reading
Until Next Time (^^,)
