Quinn was miserable.
She never felt this broken before. Well, it was her fault that Sam breaking up with her but she didn't want that. She felt disgusted with herself for kissing Finn. She felt guilty and mad with herself for letting Finn made her cheat on Sam. She didn't intend to do that. She just wanted to forget about that stolen kiss with Finn and went back to Sam's arm but Finn saw that as an opportunity to get her back and she let him.
She knew Finn was hurt after his break up with Rachel and she knew that Finn and her never really had a proper ending. She knew that Sam loved her enough to make him sing Justin Bieber to her even though he hated it and she knew that she was just confused with her own feelings.
She never felt that loved before. When she was with Finn, she was busy making sure that Rachel stayed away from them. She didn't really pay attention with her feeling for Finn because of that and she knew that slowly Finn was slipping away from her. That's why when she told him that he wasn't the father of her baby and he ended things with her, she didn't feel that broken.
When she was with Puck, well she was only with him because he was the one who got her pregnant. She knew he never love her and she never love him too. That's why when she saw Puck made out with Santana in front of her hospital room just minutes after they saw their daughter in the baby's ward, she didn't feel that hurt.
But Sam was different.
He wasn't there when the baby drama happened. He just heard stories, yet he didn't judge her anything. He said that she was brave enough to comeback. He made her fell for him in such a short time because the way he treated her. He was sweet and gentle. He was nothing like Finn or Puck. He cared a lot about her. When she missed Beth, he was holding her close in his arms and said that she did a right thing by giving her daughter a better chance of living.
Finn or Puck would never say things like that.
Sam also told her that he loved her just six weeks after they knew each other. She knew it was crazy that was why she didn't accept the ring right away. But she knew that he was serious and sincere about it. That was why she broke into his locker, took the ring, put it on her finger, and never took it off.
Not even after they broke up.
Even after he left her in the hallway, Quinn never took the ring off from her finger. She knew she hurt herself by doing that cause obviously Sam had dump her but she just couldn't take it off. In her mind, Sam was still hers. Sam would always be hers. Santana was just the rebound girl that Sam didn't even love.
Quinn wanted to talk to Sam. She wanted to apologize for what she did. She wanted to tell him that he was the only person she wants, not Finn. She wanted to tell him that she love him.
She loves Sam.
She was pretty sure of it. The day Sam broke up with her was the day she realized that she truly love him. She thought she loved Sam. That was what she told Finn. But after seeing all the little things Sam did for her, including that Bieber song, she knew that he really love her and she love him back. She didn't have the chance to tell Sam that cause he broke up with her.
She knew she needed to find a way to talk to Sam cause the blonde boy now acted like he didn't even know her. He avoided her. He was never alone too. Santana was always pinning on him. To make it worse, Finn was pinning on her.
Quinn was lying on her bed, trying to find a way to talk to Sam, when she found a brilliant idea. If Sam could sing to her, then she should sing to him. But first, she needed to find someone that could help her with her song.
Quinn walked in to the Spanish class and saw Sam sitting on the back row with Santana next to him. Santana draped her arms around Sam's shoulder but the blonde boy wasn't really paying attention to her. Santana saw Quinn looking at them and she kissed Sam aggressively, trying to rub it even more on Quinn's face.
And it worked.
It hurt Quinn so bad. She immediately sits in the front row, hoping that being closer to the teacher's table could distract her. Then she felt someone sat next to her.
"Hey, Baby Mama! What's with the tears?"
"Just go away, Puck," Quinn said as she wiped the tears from her eyes. She didn't realize that she was crying.
Then Puck turned around and saw Sam making out with Santana.
"I think I know why," he smirked. "Wanna make a payback?"
"Leave me alone."
Puck never saw Quinn acted like this before. He knew that Sam dumped her in the hall way almost a week ago. He thought that she would ran into Finn's arm immediately but here she was, sitting next to him, crying about her ex-boyfriend who apparently had moved on already.
Then he realized something.
"You love him, Q?"
That question took Quinn off the guard. She didn't answer him but she froze at those words. It was then Puck saw the ring on Quinn's finger.
"Hey! You still wore his ring!"
Quinn smacked his chest. "Shut it! Okay? I don't need you to announce it to the world!"
"First of all, you hit like a dude. Second, it hurts. Third-"
"If you're just going to annoy me than you need to leave right now before I punch your face."
"Okay, okay. But really, if you need any help or a shoulder to cry on, you can call me."
"Actually… I kinda need your help," Quinn said, biting her lips.
"Anything for you, Baby Mama."
It was Friday, exactly a week after that awful break up in the hallway. They had glee rehearsal that day so Quinn thought it would be perfect.
She walked in to the choir room, greeted by the sight of Santana's legs on Sam's lap. She ignored it and went to the back row. Not long after, Puck came in with a guitar on his hand and gave her a wink. She scoffed at that. She didn't need Puck to flirt with her right now. She just needed to do her song.
"Alright, guys," Mr. Schue said as he came in to the room. "Did any of you have an idea for Regionals?"
Quinn shot her hand up, earning a very curious looks from the teacher.
"Yes, Quinn?"
At those words, everyone –including Sam- turned their attention to her. She suddenly felt very nervous.
"I have a song, but not for Regionals. I just want to sing it. Is that okay?"
"Oh please, Tubbers. We don't have time for you and your horrible voice today. We need to find a song for-"
"Just quit it, Santana!" Sam couldn't help but ask his so-called girlfriend to stop insulting Quinn.
The room fell silent. Everyone, including Sam and Quinn, would realize what was just happened. Sam was defending ex-girlfriend from his current girlfriend and no one expected that.
"Well, of course you can sing. Come here, Quinn. The floor is yours," Mr. Schue broke the silence.
Quinn made her way to the front of the class. Puck joined her not long after and pull two stools for them to sit.
Just as they were preparing to perform, Quinn could hear Santana mumbled, "I thought she was with Finn. What is she doing with Puck?"
Quinn ignored her and signaled Puck to start strumming the guitar.
All I hear is raindrops
Falling on the rooftop
Oh baby tell me why'd you have to go
Cause this pain I feel it won't go away
And today I'm officially missing you
Quinn was staring at the floor as she sang. She couldn't stare back at her peers. She hadn't had the courage to do that yet. She was afraid that she would break down if she saw Sam.
I thought that from this heartache
I could escape
But I fronted long enough to know
There ain't no way
And today I'm officially missing you
She could feel all eyes on her, even Puck who was sitting next to her. They never rehearsed it together. She just gave Puck the chords and asked him to practice it for glee. Maybe now Puck realized what song is this and why she wanted to sing it.
Oh can't nobody do it like you
Said every little thing you do
Hey baby say it stays on my mind
And I, I'm officially
All I do is lay around
Two years full of tears
From looking at your face on the wall
Just a week ago you were my baby
Now I don't even know you at all
Don't know you at all
And that was when everyone realized who was Quinn singing for. It was for the blonde boy sitting in front of her. Everyone was sharing some looks.
Sam was staring at Quinn who was still couldn't look to everyone. He knew that song was for him, only for him. Just a week ago he would call her as his baby and she would call him as her baby. But now they acted like they didn't know each other. Well… Sam did. She hurt him so bad but he didn't know that Quinn felt as bad as him.
And just as Quinn continued singing, the blonde girl finally brought her gaze to meet everyone's. To meet Sam's.
Well I wish that you would call me right now
So that I could get through to you somehow
But I guess it's safe to say baby safe to say
That I'm officially missing you
He missed her too. True he was with Santana right now but it was more for a rebound. He didn't want to break up with Quinn. He wanted to believe that she didn't cheat on him. He wanted to believe that she truly wanted to be with him. But Santana's words were too believable, so he believed her and dumped his girlfriend for the Latina.
He could see tears glistening on Quinn's beautiful eyes. He wanted to wipe it off but he stayed in his place, listening to every word Quinn sang to him.
Well I thought I could just get over you baby
But I see that's something I just can't do
From the way you would hold me
To the sweet things you told me
At those bridge Quinn couldn't hold back her tears again. She remembered the way Sam held her like she was the only thing in the world that matters to him. She remembered all the sweet things he told her, sometimes he would whisper it to her ears. Now that Sam wasn't hers anymore, he wouldn't treat her like that again. And it hurts.
Sam's heart hurts when he saw her tears. He hated seeing her cried; especially knowing that it was because of him. When she first sings this song, he didn't understand. Why would she miss him? She was the one who hurt him. But seeing her face throughout the song, he realized that she was as broken as him.
What did she say before I left her in the hallway? I want to be with you, Sam. Yeah, that was what she said. Did she really mean it?
Then Sam saw it. He saw her still wearing the promise ring he gave her. Maybe she really wanted to be with him.
I just can't find a way
To let go of you
Quinn tried to continue singing, but she couldn't. She stopped singing and mumbled 'I'm sorry' then she ran out from the choir room. Leaving everyone confused.
Quinn was sitting on the bleachers, still crying. She tried to sing to Sam, but she didn't think it worked like how she planned to. She planned to sing the song and after she finished, she was going to talk to Sam and said sorry. But what happened in the choir room was as she sing the song she couldn't bring her face to see everyone, and when she finally brought her gaze to Sam, she broke down and left even before she could finish the song.
"I'm miserable…," she mumbled.
"No, you're not."
That voice startled her. She knew who's the owner of that voice.
It was Sam. As much as it thrilled her that the blonde boy chased after her, she really wanted to be alone right now.
"What are you doing? Why are you here? Santana would be mad if you ditch her like that."
Sam sat himself next to her. "Cause… I want to be with you, Quinn."
Quinn couldn't believe what she heard. "What?"
Sam sighed and he took her small hands in his. He expected her to pull away but she didn't so he tried to talk with her.
"I want to be with you, Quinn Fabray. Only you. Not Santana, not anyone else. I just want you. You're my first love. I already know I love you since the very first time we're rehearsing for the duet competition. And as we grow closer to each other, I couldn't help but fall for you. That's why I give you this ring," he said.
"But I hurt you… I didn't mean to do that, but I still hurt you," she said as she turned her face away from him.
"Q, listen to me," he cupped her small face in his hands. "That song… you sang it for me, right?"
Quinn nodded.
"Did you really mean it?"
"Every word."
He smiled. "Then that's all that matters."
Before Quinn could say anything else, Sam kissed her lips passionately. He wanted to do that since the day he broke up with her. All the kisses with Santana didn't feel that great. To him, Quinn was the best kisser. And much to his liking, Quinn started to kiss him back. They only pulled away when air was required.
Quinn leaned her forehead on Sam's. "I miss you…"
"I miss you too, Q."
"I'm sorry…"
"I'm sorry too."
Quinn chuckled. "Stop copying me!"
"I want to say that too, okay? You beat me."
They stayed like that for a while before Quinn realized that something wasn't right.
Sam watched as Quinn's expression changed and asked, "What's wrong?"
"What about Santana?" she asked as she brought her gaze down.
Sam lifted her chin up so she faced him again. "Right after you ran out from the choir room, she said 'Just go back with Q. It's not like you want to be with me anyway.' And at those words, I ran out to find you."
Quinn smiled at that and she pecked his lips. God, how she missed those lips.
"I have a question for you though… Are you going to leave me for Finn again?" Sam asked her. This time, it was him who brought his gaze away from her.
So Quinn lifted his chin up. "Sam, it was a mistake. I'm really sorry. I never meant to cheat on you. I feel disgusted with myself right after I kissed Finn and I was mad at myself for letting him made me cheat on you. Finn never wanted me anyway, he was still all over Rachel…"
"So… you really want to be with me?"
"I love you, Sam."
Sam tried to register the words he just heard. Did she just say she love him?
"You love me, Q?"
"I love you, Sam Evans. I love you. Only you. I want to be with you for the rest of my life."
"I love you too, Quinn Fabray. And yes, I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
Then he kissed her again.
Quinn smiled through the kiss. She loved Sam and Sam loved her. Now they were back together and they would be together until the end of time.
And that was all that matters.
A/N: Hey, guys! I want to start this project. Basically, I will just pick a song and try to write a story that goes with it. You might already seen things like this done by another writer but I just want to give myself a try. I have a couple of songs in mind and I'll try to write it once I have the time (I'm already done with another song, actually). So, if you have any request, feel free to drop in on the review section :)
Anyway, please leave me some reviews. I would love to know what do you think of this one. Tell me, whether you love it or hate it. I'll highly anticipate it and I'll appreciate it. Thank you :)
Song I used: "Officially Missing You" by Tamia
