Thanks for reading xox Oh, and I stole some lines at the end from funeral but that's it.
Sam carried Quinn all the way to the astronomy room without saying a word. She kept biting her bottom lip, wondering what to say to him. He put her down on one of the tables and stood across from her, arms crossed across his chest. "Quinn, I want to say thank you- thank you for sticking up for me back there. It must be hard standing up to your friends about someone you haven't seen in 7 years." Sam stammered.
Quinn swallowed and nodded, "It's fine. They aren't really my friends, that's clear now." She said.
"Another thing… Quinn, why did Santana call you Preggo?" Sam said, walking around to the side she was sat at. He put his hand on her hand which was resting in her lap.
"Uh, sophomore year I… I lied to you." Quinn quickly changed her answer, shedding tears. Her free hand moved to her stomach. Sam just stared at her, watching her hand moving to her stomach. She grasped her shell and pulled it up before pulling her skirt down a little, exposing her stretch marks. Sam's free hand traced the lines on her stomach, his touch sending tingles through her body.
Sam sighed, "I can't blame who ever knocked you up. You look so hot, it's hard to resist just kissing you." Sam said, not really thinking but realizing what he had just said. Quinn just stayed quiet, Sam carried on. "Who?" He asked.
Quinn looked at the ground before removing Sam's hand, it killed her to do it but she felt so venerable with her marks showing. "It doesn't matter." Quinn whispered.
"It does to me, a lot." Sam retorted.
"Um…" Quinn was debating whether to tell Sam the whole thing but he must have read it on her face that she would hold back on it. "All of it." He stammered again.
Quinn nodded and swallowed, "Um, it was beginning of sophomore year, a few weeks in. I was dating Finn, we were the cool couple everyone envied and well, one night, I was going for a run, I was really pushing myself because I felt like I had rolls of fat just sticking out of my uniform and … Puck found me. He took me back to his house, gave me some wine coolers and you can guess the rest…" Quinn said, sobbing. She put her head in her hands. "I screwed up big time letting him get me pregnant." She said.
To her surprise, Sam's arm went around her and he sat next to her. "It's fine. Like I said, it is hard to resist kissing you." Sam whispered into her ear. His breath tickled her ear and neck and before she could stop herself she whispered back, "Don't." Quinn turned her head to one side, Sam going the other way. Their lips crushed together and they both murmured stuff about how long they had waited for that one kiss.
"What's this all about?" Finn's booming voice echoed through the classroom which made Quinn and Sam jump apart. "Nothing, he was fixing my necklace for me." Quinn lied smoothly.
Finn just scowled and said, "Santana wants to talk to you, and you might want to change." Quinn moaned and said, "My third uniform change. I only have my old one left and I'm going to look completely different." Quinn said and got down from the table. She left her hand on Sam's a little bit too long then was necessary and followed Finn out of the room, leaving Sam to reflect. When they were bottom of the corridor Quinn said, "I forgot my eye liner, I'll be right back!" Quinn said, kissing him on the mouth. She put her hands on his chest and walked away slowly, pulling her hands away at the last moment. She sprinted back down the hall and back into the astronomy class room. Sam was just leaving and Quinn walked straight up to him. "I've been waiting for that for a very long time." She whispered before grabbing her eye liner and walking to the mirror on the wall. She stood on her tippy toes and inspected her hair. She sighed, "It looks like I got low lights put in my hair." She complained and put some more eye liner on it. She looked and saw Sam staring at her. She smiled and gave him a piece of paper. "It's my address." Quinn said and patted him on the shoulder. "I'm glad you know by the way." Quinn said and sprinted back to where Finn was waiting. "Sorry, I topped it up, can you tell?" Quinn said, fluttering her eyes jokingly.
Santana was sat in the girls' bathroom, two garment bags with cheerios uniforms in. Finn kissed her goodbye and then let her walk in before walking away. She walked in and walked straight over to Santana. "What do you want?" She said.
"I.. I wanted to say you were right… I'm meant to be there for you, not hitting on Sam. Sorry." Santana said and held her arms out. Quinn smiled and stepped in, wrapping her arms around Santana. The tension automatically relaxed and the girls laughed as they got ready. Quinn slipped her old uniform on and put new white cheer shoes on. The bell went and the afternoon classes began.

The school day ended with impact, everyone was talking about Santana and Quinn's fight at lunch but Quinn just ignored them and drove home. "MOM!" She screeched at the top of her lungs. Judy Fabray came running in, dish cloth in hand. "What's wrong honey?" She asked, looking concerned. "Sam moved back. He's at my school!" Quinn said and plastered a smile on her face, "Oh, honey! That's wonderful!" Judy said, obviously not has happy. Quinn pulled her phone out of her bag and ran up the stairs. She went straight to her room and emptied her bag out. She sorted the mess her hair was in and waited, Sam would come, wouldn't he?
"Quinnie! I got a call saying you fell from a stunt. Are you hurt?" Judy shouted up after half an hour. Quinn thought about her answer, she had totally forgotten but since her mother brought it up, her back started throbbing, "I'm fine mom!" Quinn shouted back and stood up from her bed. She put her hand on her back and began stretching out. Quinn had gotten carried away with stretching and had just slipped into the splits when her bed room door cracked open. "Quinnie, you have a guest." Judy said, slightly happy. Behind her, she saw the familiar blonde head. Judy stepped to the side and let Sam walk into Quinn's room. He stared at the position she was in for a few seconds before clearing his throat and said, "I'm glad I got the right house." Quinn laughed and said, "I'm glad too, it would have been funny if you knocked on our neighbours, Mr and Mrs Smisten." Quinn said, flipping her back leg around and standing. She shook her legs out and walked to Sam, she hugged him swiftly before letting go. "Do you want to stay over for dinner?" Judy asked, edging out of the door. "Er, I can't tonight, my mom is cooking us dinner, 'bonding time'" Sam said and Judy looked a little relieved. "Okay, I'll see you two later." She gave Quinn a look before leaving.
Once the door clicked back into place Quinn laughed. "That woman has lost her mind, ever since last year she's been like that." Quinn said. Sam just smiled and pushed her bangs out of her face. Quinn liked it but didn't; she felt like a cheater and that's wrong. "No, sorry Sam, I… I" Quinn had never done this before and didn't know what to expect. "I, I like it when you do that, but, I'm with Finn and it makes me feel awful when I cheat." Quinn gave him a sad look. Sam nodded thoughtfully and said, "You never did tell me, How come your still with Finn after you s..slept with his best friend and got pregnant?" Sam said, Quinn could tell it was difficult for him to say slept. "I guess, our relationship ended so… abruptly that we thought we could put it back together. I'll tell you something. He's been acting different since he caught us kissing." Quinn said and walked into her closet, turning her light on. She saw Sam out of the corner of her eye sorting his hair out in the mirror. She rolled her eyes and thought, 'Always the vain one'
Eventually, Quinn picked out a cute dress and cardigan combo with matching flats. She shut the door of her closet and changed clothes quickly. She walked back out moments later and Sam did a double take. "You look… wow." Sam said quietly. Quinn smiled at him and sat at her dresser. She inspected her hair for a few seconds but finally clipped her bangs back and arranged her hair around her shoulders. "Come on, then. Your not just going to lay there and stare, that's not right." Quinn said and winked at him.
"Where are we going?" Sam asked as Quinn put hair ties on one hand.
"The willow tree."
"Really? That's still there?"
"Yes, now lets get going, it looks like it is about to rain and I'd like my hair to stay dry." Quinn said and grabbed her hand, pulling him up. "Your strong." Sam commented and Quinn said, "5 years of stunting does that." Quinn grinned and they walked out of her room, hands swinging between them. "We are going out, Mom!" Quinn called and shut the front door behind them. The two teenagers walked down the street and through the trees that surrounded the tree that held so many memories.
"I've only ever been here twice without you. Once when I found it and the day you left." Quinn commented, sitting down on the little stump that made a seat big enough for two. "Ah, you saved my space for me." Sam said and sat down next to Quinn.
Quinn's head eventually rolled to the side to rest on Sam's shoulder. They didn't really speak, just took in each others presence. Sam heard Quinn's breathing slow first before he looked down at her face, he smiled, she looked so peaceful when she was asleep.
Quinn woke up to her cell phone playing, "lucky" She jumped slightly as she came awake. She looked at Sam who was staring off into space while twirling a piece of her hair around his finger. She laughed slightly and sat up, causing Sam to come back to reality. She rolled onto her knees, tucking her hair behind her ears and finding her phone on Sam's lap. She smiled and picked it up. "Hello?" She said answered the phone.
"Hi, babe, it's Finn."
"Oh hi, Finn, how are you?"
"I'm good thank you, I was just calling to see if we can meet up? I need to talk to you."
"I am a little busy but not later on, is eight-ish okay?"
"Yes, that's fine. Meet me at the park, east Lima."
"Okay, bye, love you."
"Love you too.. Bye."
Quinn shut the phone and exhaled. "The boyfriend?" Sam asked and Quinn nodded.
"Can you hear that?" Quinn suddenly said and stood. She smoothed her dress out before walking to the edge of the tree and peeking through the leaves. Sam followed and stood behind her, putting a hand on her shoulder. "It's raining." He stated.
"The first time we came here it was too." Quinn said and turned to face him. She smiled at the familiarity of his face.
"We better get going, before this rain gets any worse." Quinn said, slipping her phone into Sam's jeans pocket. "Yeah, we'll have to come here again, soon." Sam said smiled as she put her phone in his jeans. Just like old times he thought and walked out from the shelter of the tree. It was still raining. "Maybe we should wait a while, for the rain to stop." Sam suggested, the rain soaking right through his white t-shirt turning it see through. "But if it storms, we could get electrocuted from the tree." Quinn said, staring at his very toned stomach. "Someone's been working out." She commented.
"It's for the ladies." Sam said, wiggling his eyebrows.
"Hey! That's not funny." Quinn said and slapped him on the chest playfully.
"I know, come on, I don't want you to ruin your hair." Sam said jokingly before pulling Quinn from under the tree and slipping his arm over her shoulder to keep her from getting cold. Quinn smiled and hugged closely to him, only thinking about the kiss they had shared earlier that day. When they reached Quinn's house it was nearly 8 o'clock. "I guess I better go." Sam said and removed his arm from around Quinn. "One second, I need you cell number." Quinn said, grabbing his arm. They exchanged numbers and took pictures for caller ID, even though they were both soaking it was still fun, plus, it made up the memories. As they both got into their vehicles all Quinn could think about is what Finn must be saying and how urgent it is.

Quinn turned up to the park 2 minutes before eight and found Finn pacing across the length of the park. "Finn.." Quinn said, speed walking to where he was. "Oh, Quinn, Hi." Finn said, looking really uncomfortable. Quinn was happy that it had stopped raining but she still knew how messed up she looked. "What's wrong Finn?" Quinn said, stepping closer to him and resting her hand on his shoulder.
"Lets sit down." Finn suggested and walked her to a bench near by.
"Finn… what's going on?"
"Um, I was talking to Rachel about the astronomy room and she… explained what happened to me. She said you and Sa.. Sam kissed. By the looks of it, you did more but she said that we didn't have any proof… I… I'm breaking up with you." Finn explained and Quinn shook her head. She loved Finn… but also Sam. Why did being a teenager have to be so confusing. "No, You shouldn't listen to Rachel. She wants you back. If she gets rid of me by lying to you she will get what she wants. No." Quinn repeated. "Quinn, you didn't say you didn't kiss Finn."
"Well, in a good relationship we need to not lie to each other. I did kiss him, but it was a peck, and, for the 'more' No, no we didn't." Quinn retorted.
"I'm not going back on my decision. Our relationship is robotic, we don't feel anything."
Quinn started crying and when Finn tried to touch her she shifted away from him, "Don't touch me. Is this me feeling enough for you?" Quinn said and stood up. "I hope it is and I hope your happy with Rachel, she planned this." Quinn said before sprinted out of the park, crying. Just then the rain started to pour down and Quinn slammed the door of her car shut as she got in.
