Quinn was dying to go upstairs and call Sam but she was stuck with her mom and one of her attempts to have a good mother-daughter relationship. 'Well, at least she's trying to be a good mom' Quinn thought as Judy Fabray asked about her school day.
"It was good mom, thanks for asking" she said smiling. There was no way Quinn was telling her mom about the information Rachel gave her that morning. Yes, her mom was "trying" but she still made some very hurtful comments about the decision Quinn made. "You know mom, I'm really tired so I'm going to take a nap"
"Are you sure you don't want to talk to me about anything? You know you can trust me Quinnie"
"No mom, nothing" she said as she left the room heading upstairs. She was sure her mom knew something, maybe she ran into Shelby earlier? Now she regretted telling her mom who adopted Beth, she won't leave her alone about that subject.
Quinn finally entered her room and changed from her cheerios uniform. Now she was finally going to talk to her boyfriend, this long distance thing sucked.
'I hope he's not busy' she thought as she dialed the number. And he wasn't, because he picked up the phone immediately.
"I was beginning to think you would start ignoring me again" he said.
"Hello to you too Sam, don't tell me you were just staring at the phone waiting for my call"
"Well, I was. Don't make fun of me, you know that I'm living with my grandparents so they take care of Stevie and Stacey and I have absolutely nothing better to do. And of course I was waiting for the call because you have some things to explain to me"
Of course he had to ask her that, Quinn had a little hope they would ignore that subject because, well, she didn't have an idea of why she did that.
"I can't even explain to myself why I was ignoring you. You know how I do weird things and have no explanation, I'm seriously thinking about going to a psychiatrist. I love you too much Sam and it freaks me out and I wanted to forget you because nothing good stays with me and you're going to find someone better and it hurts so much to be so far away from you. I miss you so much Samuel" by that time Quinn was crying very hard. It was breaking Sam's heart to hear her cry, but he couldn't help feeling happy about the things she said, Quinn Fabray loved him.
"Please don't cry, I forgive you I swear. Now you're talking to me and that's the important thing, right? And don't ever, ever think about me leaving you for someone else. That would never happen... again" he could see where that fear came from, he dumped her once in the middle of the hallway and just minutes after that he had Santana Lopez all over him, that was one of his biggest regrets. "I love you Quinn, don't forget that"
"I don't deserve you, I ignore you for weeks and all you say is 'I love you'" she said. "And even though it doesn't seem like it sometimes, I love you so much"
"I know. And you should really consider that shrink thing, just saying" now he was joking, Sam hated when she was sad and this was clearly making her feel bad.
"If I were next to you I swear I would have punched you in the face, just saying. Tell me, how was your day?"
"The same as my first day at McKinley minus seeing a very pretty blonde girl singing and dancing in the courtyard. And my math teacher hates me but I hate him too so is a mutual feeling. I'm sure I made it into the football team and the same old mouth jokes, I heard a new one 'soup cooler' I don't get it but it has to be about my mouth 'cause it's always about it"
"That one is from America's Next Top Model" Quinn said laughing "And yes is about your mouth but I can't explain it over the phone"
"Don't talk to me about that show. We made a deal, remember? I wouldn't make you watch Avatar again and we would stop watching Top Model…Oh! And I found an old classmate from my old school. We weren't that close back then but we have a lot of classes together and I have lunch with him. Now let's talk about the most important thing, you"
"Nothing new, besides what I have already told you and we're not talking about that in case you're wondering. I had a really hard time trying to do my ponytail this morning like you predicted and every single girl trying out for the cheerios today sucked. Santana got mad at one of them and got all Lima Heights with her, I love when she does that, it's so funny"
"It's funny when she's not doing that at you, poor girl. You were so hot when you were head cheerleader, now you being like the coach is beyond hot"
"Yes, because you got a thing for coaches" she said joking.
"Are you ever going to forget about the Beiste incident?"
"No I'm not, and totally telling our kids about it" Quinn was laughing really hard at this point. Sam smiled at the fact that she was talking about having kids with him and not even realizing it. They kept joking and talking for a while until Quinn's mom entered her room.
"I thought you said you were going to take a nap and you're obviously not. If you spend more time with your family and less time fooling around with boys then shouldn't have to worry about things like your daughter being in Lima, Quinnie. And I hope you're not trying to keep in touch with that Evans boy because he got you pregnant too, you spent too much time at whatever he was calling home before he left" Quinn was listening to her mom's speech trying very hard to not throw something at her, it wasn't because she had nowhere to go she would've left her house so long ago. Sam of course was hearing all Judy Fabray was saying because Quinn hadn't hang up the phone and because she was being very loud. He hated how she treated Quinn, always making mean comments about how she dressed, how she acted, what she said and everything Quinn did seemed wrong to her. Quinn acted like she didn't care, but he knew it hurt her really bad. "Sometimes I wonder why I let you come home again if you're not making any effort to be a better person" and with that Judy Fabray left her daughter's room.
Quinn sighed when her mother left and then realized Sam was still on the phone."You shouldn't have heard that" was the only thing she said.
"Wanna talk about it?" Sam asked, he could tell she was trying not to cry.
"I talked to her when I came home from school and I got the feeling she knew something and I was right" Quinn said and then started crying "I can't stand being here anymore Sam, not in this house, not in this stupid town. I just want to run away, I can't stand being so close to her and so far at the same time. I'll die if I ever run into her and see her calling someone else 'mom', I can't"
There was a long silence before Sam finally spoke "This isn't probably the best advice but if you ever feel like you need a break, you can come here. Okay?"
"Thank you Sam. I gotta get out of here, maybe I can stay at Brittany's. She offered me to stay at her house when I was pregnant but I said no because I've known her parents for way too long and I was embarrassed. Talk to you later, I love you"
After finishing the call she packed some things very quickly and talked to Brittany about staying at her house, she agreed so she left her house leaving a note to her mom stating the fact that she was not pregnant again and saying where she was staying.
Brit's parents were really nice and didn't asked why she needed somewhere to stay, the only problem was Lord Tubbington, he wasn't the biggest Quinn fan and didn't let her be anywhere near Brittany's bed so she had to sleep in a couch Brittany had in her room because 'there's no way you're not sleeping with me, we're having a pajama party'. They spent the rest of the afternoon watching TV and planning some routine for the cheerios then Brittany decided they should invite Santana to stay over that night. After some girl talk and Santana trying to get Quinn to admit she slept with Sam on his farewell party (I did not, we were really watching the stars) she finally explained to her friends what happened that day.
"Well this explains why Puckerman was acting so weird too" Santana said.
"This is so sad, life is so sad" Brittany said hugging Quinn and then she started clapping like crazy "Maybe some lady kisses will make you feel better, they always make feel San better. Or maybe Ice Cream"
"I can't pretend I'm not disturbed by that, didn't we have a talk Santana? I'll go with the Ice Cream Brit, thanks". Brittany left her room to get the Ice Cream leaving Santana and Quinn totally alone.
"You have to stop doing that to Brittany and talk clearly to her, no songs, a real talk. And if she doesn't want you then you have to move on and stop tricking her to do those things" it was all Quinn said before starting to read a magazine.
"And why don't you mind your own business. I'm not telling you what to do about Beth am I? So if you want to be bossy go and be bossy with trouty mouth" Santana replied then she saw Quinn's face, it was obvious she had crossed the line "I'm so sorry Q, I didn't mean that"
"No, you did. And you're right, I have to mind my own business" and with that she locked herself in Brittany's bathroom. She wasn't going to cry, it was Santana and she never took anything Santana said seriously. Quinn grabbed her cellphone to call Sam but then thought it was probably too late, then she realized she had two texts. One was from her mother saying she did not approve of her behavior and wanted her home by the end of the week or else she wasn't welcome anymore and the other was from Sam saying he had very good news and, obviously, credit on his cellphone and wanted to call her. The text was from early that night but she took the risk and texted back asking if he was still awake, she immediately got a call from him.
There were, in fact very good news. His dad finally got a job and it was very well payed and their grandparents got him a computer and internet.
"They told my dad it was for them, you know how proud he is, but they put it in my room" he told her sounding very excited "they said 'Because Samuel would give it a better use'" he was clearly doing an impression of his grandpa.
"Now we can chat and…" she was telling him but then she heard Brittany yell. "Hang on a second Sammy" Quinn told him. When she got out she saw her friends holding hands.
"Guess what Quinnie? Santana just asked me to be her girlfriend" Brittany said sounding very happy
"And she said yes, yes!" the Latina added "Thank you Q" she said smiling and then starting yelling, she totally saw Quinn was on the phone "Your girlfriend made this happen Sam! You should be proud! And visit soon"
Quinn started laughing. Then returned to the bathroom to continue the conversation with her boyfriend and give her friends some alone time "Did you hear that my love? She called you Sam"
"Yes I did. Tell her that I've always been proud of you and that I will, very soon" he replied.
"Wait, what?" now Quinn was the one yelling.
"I don't repeat myself. Goodnight my love"
A/N: Wow! Another chapter :D I want to thank everyone that read and review the first chapter and thank you for reading this chapter too. I hope this chapter didn't bore you and you keep reading and please, if you have time review so I can know if I'm doing this right and what I need to improve. Btw, the fic title of the fic is from a song by The Gossip that I don't really like but it gave me the title for my story so thank you The Gossip. As you can see I ramble a lot, I hope you stay tuned for the next chapter! And yes there was a little Brittana in this chapter but that was something I needed to get out of my system. I promise there will be more Sam and Quinn in the next one and we finally get to see how they got back together. Oh and I was watching ANTM as I was writing this, that's the explanation.
