Disclaimer: I don't own GLEE

Author's Note: as this is the first real chapter, it was a bit long because I want to show what happened to Quinn during the summer and her relationship with certain members of Glee. The story really starts in the next chapter when they come back to school and so many things will happen and drama will be granted!;) In this story, Sam and Cedes never existed and Finn & Quinn did not argue on Prom and they did not break up after the funeral. Please, review and let me know what you think!

Being in Peace

Third Point of View

The first gold rays entered through her window, giving the petite beauty a warm hello. Slowly, Quinn opened her eyes and stretched herself, while seeing her two best friends, San and Britt deep in sleep. Quinn decided that it was time for a quick run. During the summer, the blond discovered that the best was to keep in form and to keep her mind healthy was running. Although San and Britt were not in favor of exercise at summer due to the hot weather, sometimes they joined their best friend to help her heal her soul. For Quinn, the summer meant a fresh start as spry as a wave hitting the coast followed by another one or the drizzle at night on the beach. During her running, Quinn made up her mind and decided that the first step to be in peace with her was asking for forgiveness. Therefore, Quinn visited Rachel and told her she was sorry for everything. Surprisingly, Rachel, who was tired of being alone without a real friend, was not on her diva role and told the blond that she was, also, sorry for their arguments related to Finn. So, as the ex-captain of the Cheeros explained that she was not anymore in love with Finn, the blond and the brunette decided to give their "friendship" a shot. However, Finn was another story…after Sam's father lost his job and Quinn left Finn aside to be with Sam as friends, Finn was until now mad at Quinn so knowing him as she did, Quinn decided that the best was to give him some space. In addition, one day while sitting on a bench at a park, Quinn called Cedes and asked her if Kurt could join them and meet at her house to hang out. Although Cedes was surprised, she gladly accepted Quinn's offer because she missed her sister and also felt alone as Kurt spent most of his day with Blaine. In the blink of an eye, Cedes and Quinn were best friends and felt as comfortable as when they lived together so it seemed as they had never been apart during the whole previous year.

So far, at the end of the summer, Quinn was extremely pleased with herself as she had recovered her best friends, San, Britt, Kurt and Cedes, and gained a new one, Rachel, despite San's objections. But the real reason for which Quinn was on cloud 9 was other. Which was that reason? Simply, three letters: SAM. You would wonder what Sam had to do with Quinn after she cheated on him with Finn? Simply, again, Quinn's real change began when Sam's father lost his job. Due to being a good Christian girl, Quinn was there to help him by babysitting Steve and Stacey, by helping him with his homework or by holding him. So , although Sam was hurt because she was the love of his life, he could not stay mad at her as might as he try and the truth was that he loved her so much that he only wanted her to be happy. When being with her at the mother, Sam always reminded himself when looking at those incredibly beautiful eyes: if you love her, let her go and if she comes back, it is meant to be.

Therefore, they became friends, but not any type of friends, they were real close. No one could believe that Quinn did not compete for Prom Queen and did not go to Prom only to be with Sam while taking care of his siblings. It was that day when the members of glee began to discover a new Quinn, despite her continues fights with Berry for Finn. No sooner than did Sam return for New York, after losing Nationals, than things took a change for the better for his family as his dad found a new job at the State Bank and so they decided to go to Tennessee for vacations. At first, neither Sam nor Quinn was happy with him being out of Lima, but they knew that the trip was only for a few days and they promised to keep in touch. Although San, being her bitchy her, did not like that her best friend spent several hours talking through web cam to Sam, Quinn kept her promise and told her best friend what was going on in Lima.

Before Quinn could realize her vacations end, but she could not complain because it was the best summer ever…not only she enjoyed herself with her best friends, San and Britt- who were trying to deal with their "new relationship"-, but also she reconstructed herself from her own ashes, forgetting about her insecurities and fears and accepting herself as a beautiful young woman who was looking for her paradise, where she will fall in love with a man who would only have eyes for her. After living another day with the simplicity of being happy and a teenager, Quinn went to her bedroom where she jumped for joy when seeing a new email from Sam:

My dearest friend Q,

You don't know how much I'm missing you So, I don't know why I'm writing to you at this time, but the point is that tomorrow I will not go to school `cause we arrive at Lima around midday, but I thought, maybe if you want, I can pass to your home when you are back from school…please, answer me soon I'm dying to see you ;) ah, I almost forgot: I have a little present for you, Q!

Love you,

Sam.

Quinn could not help the smile drew on her face… she could not help but wonder how Sam always knew what to say to make her day. However, she was sad that she would not see her best friend at school, but when she finally got some sleep, she could not help but have sweet dreams filled by a handsome blond.
