Wow, it's great that some people are interested in my story. Unfortunately there is some Samcedes in this chapter but it will be resolved and no smut yet… But stay with me, good things to come ;)

"We're here!" a drunken Santana exclaimed as they pulled up to 3 small, wooden cabins and a main building surrounded by woods. The trip had taken over four hours and Sam was completely exhausted from driving and listening to Santana's drunken slurs.

"Santana, why did you drink the entire bottle? I don't want you puking in my bed!" Kurt yelled.

"You mean our bed Lady Lips."

"What!" Mercedes, Sam, Blaine, Kurt and Rachel turned completely red with anger.

"Ow, I forgot to tell you. There is only one bed for two each." She said giggling wildly.

Mercedes turned around and her eyes narrowed at Sam. "I don't want you and Rachel to sleep in the same bed!" she whispered angrily. Here we go again.

Sam groaned, but didn't feel like responding, especially if Mercedes was on the warpath. Instead he glanced a peak at Rachel to see if she had heard Mercedes' ridiculous statement. She was staring straight forward with a misty look in her eyes. Ever since he had that conversation with Mercedes about Rachel liking him, he started feeling different towards her. He noticed more things about her, like the way her hair always fell perfectly over her shoulders and the way her lips always looked so full and red.

He suddenly felt a push in his shoulder and realized he had been staring at Rachel the whole time. "Yeah, what?"

"Didn't you hear what I just said? We are all going to drop our stuff in the cabin and have dinner in the main building," Kurt repeated slowly, obviously confused as to why he didn't here him the first time.

Sam's face heated up when he noticed everyone staring at him, and Mercedes narrowed her eyes. "I heard you, I was just thinking" he replied a little sheepishly.

"Thinking, yeah right" Santana sneered.

Things can't get any worse can they?

As if his thoughts were answered, the heavens opened and the rain came falling down hard. Apparently it can.

"Let's get into the cabin," Mercedes said as she quickly took her suitcase out and started dragging it towards her cabin, with Blaine, Santana and Kurt following.

"Babe, let me- " Sam said, but she had already left.

Rachel got out of the car and started to drag her suitcase over the gravely road to the cabin, unfortunately it was two times her size and weight and it barely moved forward. She looked ahead, seeing that all of her friends were already inside of their cabins. "So much for help" she said out loud, cursing herself for not insisting on a smaller suitcase and wearing high heels. Meanwhile the rain was completely drenching her clothes, hair and make-up making her look like some kind of Frankenstein monster. Great way to start off the weekend.

Sam quickly parked the car when he saw Rachel, still dragging her suitcase, out of his rearview mirror. She looked utterly adorable with her suitcase that was two times her size and her high heels. Sam quickly got out of the car, grabbed his own suitcase and made his way over to Rachel, who obviously needed someone's help.

"Here let me help you with that Rach," he said while taking her suitcase over from her.

Rachel looked up at him like he was a hero. "Thank you Sam, you are so very kind" she said out of breath and completely exhausted.

"Anything for you Ms. Broadway Star" said Sam shooting her a smile. "Wow this is heavy, did you bring your entire wardrobe or something?"

"Hey! Kurt packed for me, so hold it with the comments" she said as she nudged him playfully and made her way to the cabin.

They finally reached the wooden cabin and the door opened with just the slightest push. "This door doesn't have a lock!" Rachel said exasperated while looking at Sam with frightful eyes.

"Don't worry Rach, badass Sam here will protect you from the serial killers with chainsaws that live in these woods" he said grinning when he saw her eyes get even bigger.

"Sam Evans!"

"Kidding, I'm pretty sure it's safe here. Santana probably rented this cabin from a site that hasn't been updated for years. I bet you nobody knows this place exists. I'm not surprised if the shower and toilet don't even work."

"I'm sorry if I don't trust Santana's tactics" she replied sarcastically.

Suddenly his belly growled, making his entire face heat up. "I'm hungry" he said sheepishly.

"I could here that" she smiled at him "Let's go over to the main building, they must all be wondering what's taking us so long.

"Where are Sam and Rachel?" he could here Mercedes say as they walked into the main dining area.

"Here we are," Sam said, looking pointedly at Mercedes. She could be so damn clingy sometimes. It was seriously starting to piss him off.

"Did someone bring vegan food?" he could here Rachel say to Kurt as he sat down next to Mercedes.

"Of course Diva, we wouldn't want you throwing a fit about how the animals didn't have a worthy life" Kurt teased, while Rachel stuck her tongue out at him.

"I hope we don't have rain the entire weekend" Mercedes commented as she put her head on Sam's shoulder, her eyes trained on Rachel's face for a reaction.

"Yeah, I really wanted to go swimming tomorrow," Blaine replied.

Rachel face suddenly went white and she stood up from the table, startling everybody "I'm going to take a walk if you guys don't mind."

"Are you sure? I mean it's dark and everything, don't you want someone to go with you?" Sam asked, his face concerned.

Rachel gave him a soft smile "No I just need to clear my head. I'll meet you back in the cabin" she said towards Sam as she made her way outside.

Sam sighed but turned his head back to his friends, who were looking at him questionably. "What, it's dark outside? You don't want her to get lost or anything!" he answered the unspoken question.

"Yeah but Sam, she's a big girl" Kurt said softly looking down at his plate, while Mercedes hand was squeezing his arm so tightly that thought he was going to pass out.

"Okay!" Santana said awkwardly. "I'm done, Lady Lips let's go back to the cabin. Mama needs her beauty rest" Kurt groaned in annoyance but complied. Soon Blaine and Mercedes left as well, but not before giving Sam and wet openmouthed kiss. "See you at 12 at the lake" she whispered into his ear.

Sam got up as well and made his way back to the cabin with an uneasy feeling in his stomach. Something was definitely up with Rachel and even though he wasn't her boyfriend or anything, he felt a weird sort of protection over her. Common Sam you have a date to get ready for. He took his stuff together and decided to take a long shower. "After that she must be back right?"

In the other room Mercedes was searching through her suitcase for the perfect outfit. She was going to meet Sam tonight and she had to look beautiful. Her relationship with Sam had felt a little distant ever since Rachel's opening night and she was more than happy to change that.

"What are you doing, Mercedes?" Blaine asked, coming to stand next to her.

"At midnight Sam and I are going to meet at the lake. And I have to find the perfect outfit" she said her tone full of confidence.

"So you're just going to sneak out of here at the middle of the night? Are you sure Rachel is okay with that Sam doing that?"

"I don't care what Ms. Broadway Star thinks," she said with so much venom in her voice that Blaine took a step back. "It's my relationship, she doesn't have anything to do with it."

"What's going on with you and Rachel? I thought you guys were friends?" Blaine asked, his face confused.

"We are, but I want her to stay away from my man!" she said angrily.

"What are you talking about? Sam is totally in love with you. Besides Rachel is definitely not ready to move on from Finn, so don't worry!," he said, getting angry himself.

Suddenly Mercedes realized what she was doing and her mood changed completely. "Yeah, maybe you're right. They are just friends" she said softly, embarrassed for her sudden outburst.

Blaine walked over to her and put his hand on her shoulder "Mercedes you should trust Sam."

"I will trust him if he shows up tonight, like we promised" she explained and left for the bathroom.

"Rachel? Rachel, are you back?" he called as he walked out of the bathroom.

No reply.

"Fuck!"

Sam quickly put on some clothes and made his way outside. "Why didn't I fucking go with her!" he cursed himself. It was 11 pm, which meant he had one hour to look for Rachel until his date started.

Without even closing the door behind him he stormed out of the cabin and ran into the woods.

"Rachel! Rachel!" he called everywhere his blood pumping in his ears. Until he finally heard, what sounded like a waterfall.

She can't be there can she?

"Quit stalling!" he ordered himself, as he made his way over to the sound of running water, almost tripping over logs that were lying on the ground.

"Rachel! Rachel!" he called again.

"Sam! Sam, help me!" he heard her scream.

He ran towards the sound as fast as he could. Rachel was on the other side of the river holding onto a side branch with all her might while the strong stream was trying to tug her towards the waterfall. Holy fuck.

"Sam! Help! I can't get out of here!" she screamed.

"Rachel, stay calm I'm coming to help you!"

She looked so scared that it made his heart ache. "Why didn't I just go with her" he drilled himself againas he quickly made his way to the other side of the river and broke off a branch from a dead tree. "Here, grab a hold of this and I'll tug you back," he explained as he leant as far forward as he could and stuck out the branch in her direction.

"I don't know if I can reach it Sam," she cried.

"I know you can! You are so strong and I believe in you!" he yelled at her their eye's connected.

Rachel saw something indescribably in his eyes and it made her want to prove herself that she was strong. She suddenly jumped with as much might as she could and grabbed a hold on the branch.

"Yes! Good job Rachel!" he screamed with happiness as he tugged the branch close enough so he could stick his hand out for her to take. She took it and he pulled her out of the water.

She immediately jumped into his arms, hugging him tightly while her entire body shook. "Thank you Sam!" she said tearfully over and over again while he caressed her back softly. "Shh Rach, it's okay you're safe now," he whispered into her hair as he gently seated them on the grass located a few feet from the river.

She pulled back from his chest and looked at him with tearful eyes, "I was walking along the river, when a rabbit suddenly sprinted in front of my feet and I uhh, stumbled backwards and fell into the river," she started explained, trying to stop the sobs from escaping.

"Are you telling me that bunnies are dangerous?" he asked, desperately trying to calm her down and cheer her up at the same time. He felt like the man when a chuckle escaped and she quieted down a little.

"I can't thank you enough Sam, but if you don't mind I would like to get back to the cabin and take a shower. Today was quite the day, don't you think?" she asked, drying her tears while standing up and reaching her hand out for his to take.

Sam looked up at her and swallowed when he noticed that the water had made her clothes transparent, her pink bra visible through her white blouse. "Uhh yeah, quite the day" he stuttered.

The walk back was quiet, but he could tell Rachel was still shaking from fear. Before he could stop his instinct he had already taken her hand and squeezed it, making her look up at him with wide eyes. "I'm glad I found you."

Rachel gazed up at him adoringly and before he knew it Rachel lent in and kissed his cheek softly. "I'm really glad you did" she replied softly.

He shuddered when he felt her warm breath wash over his face and he inhaled the smell of her hair. God she smells great.

Sam snapped out of his trance when they reached their cabin.

"I'm going to take a shower and than we should go to bed, don't you think?"

"Are you done Rachel?" he called out to her.

"Sam can you please close your eyes, I forgot to bring a towel and clothes" he heard her say shyly.

It took all the strength he had not to imagine a naked Rachel. "They are closed Rach." he said, slightly gritting his teeth.

"Okay Sam, I trust you," she said, yet still cautiously.

Well at least there's one person who trusts him.

The door opened wider and he quickly closed his eyes, even though his entire body was screaming for him to open them secretly. He could here her little feet walking up and down the room and he came so close to opening-

"Sam, I have a problem", she said softly, cutting off his thoughts.

"What's wrong Rach?"

"Kurt decided to pack for me, and uhh,he only packed, well let's just say, my most revealing pajamas," she said the last part so softly that he could barely make out the words.

New thoughts entered his head, this time of Rachel in sexy pajamas, with her beautiful hair cascading down the sides of her face.

"Uhm, that's okay, I'll try not to look at you then" he said, cursing himself for his thoughts about his friend.

"Fine Sam! Just please don't make any jokes" she finished off softly.

He opened his eyes and almost moaned at the sight of Rachel dressed in a light blue, transparent slip that barely reached her thighs. Why on earth sake would he make jokes? She looked so beautiful that he was sure his jaw had hit the floor. She obviously noticed him starring and her entire face turned a dark shade of red. "Let's just go to bed," she said softly.

'Uh yeah, about that Rachel, there is only one bed and no couch. I know you want the bed, and trust me I wouldn't take it even if you didn't want it. So I will just take this pillow and lie down on the floor," he said walking over to one of the chairs and taking the pillow from it, when he suddenly felt her hand touch his naked back, making a spark shoot through his body.

"Sam, you're are such a gentleman. But I don't want you to sleep on the ground, it will kill your back and I need you to lift my suitcase back to the car when we leave" she explained, half jokingly.

"Are you sure you don't mind sleeping so close to each other?" he asked pleasantly surprised.

"No, why?" she said biting her lip, until suddenly her eyes went wide with realization. "Wait a minute, Mercedes probably won't like this at all, we are dressed completely inappropriately as well, I'm really not thinking today..." she rambled, biting her lip.

At the mention of Mercedes his eyes suddenly went wide. "Fuck, what time is it?"

She was going to break up with Sam right now.

She had been standing at the lake for an hour with no sign of Sam whatsoever. It's all Rachel's fault, she probably persuaded Sam not to go out and he of course listened to her. Her entire head was steaming with anger when she approached their cabin and she had to count to three to restrain herself from kicking down the door.

"Sam Evans!" she called loudly, while she knocked on the wooden door countless time.

"Sam, what's going on?" Rachel asked with wide eyes, her tone concerned.

"Uhh, noth-"

But he was interrupted when he heard someone familiar banging on the door and screaming his name.

"Rachel! Please go into the bathroom, if Mercedes sees the way your dressed she probably going to explode," he pleaded and desperately searched the room for a shirt.

Rachel looked like she was scared shitless but complied, not wanting to disturb their fight. She quickly made her way over to the bathroom and locked it, when she heard the door open.

"Mercedes I can explain" she heard Sam plead and she kind of felt bad for him.

"Explain what? Why you didn't show up to our date when we made an appointment at dinner? And by the way, where is Rachel?"

"Rachel is taking a shower," she heard him say quickly.

"Then why is there no water running?"

"She must have finished then!"

"Sam, I've had enough with these lies. I know something is going on between you and Rachel and I don't want to be with you like this any longer. I'm breaking up with you!" she screamed at him, then turned around and left without looking at him.

"Mercedes wait!" she heard him call after her, but she had already left. It's better this way she thought; now I can focus on my solo career and move back to LA.

"Sam?" Rachel asked cautiously and tiptoed out of the bathroom.

"Yeah?"

He was sitting in a chair looking straightforward. His eye's were misty and his face sad.

"Sam? I heard that you guys broke up, but what did that have to do with me?"

She walked over to where he was sitting and took his hand.

"Mercedes thinks I have feelings for you" he said emotionless, still staring straight ahead.

"What?" she asked in disbelief, her heart starting to pound.

Sam turned to look at her, his eyes unreadable. "There's something I need to tell you Rachel."

Next chapter will be better, if you know what I mean ;)
