"This is none of your business rookie, get out of here," Finn retorted. "It is when the girl says to let her go, now let go," Sam said with a serious face. "I'm sorry rookie but you don't tell me what to do, NOW GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!" yelled Finn. "Finn please you're hurting me, please I know you know I love you as a friend, please you don't want to lose me as friend I really do care about you," said Quinn with tears rolling down her cheeks. "OKAY THAT DOES IT!" Sam said before launching at Finn. Sam threw himself at Finn knocking him to the floor with Quinn since he was holding her by the arms. "Omg Sam STOP! Please don't fight!" said Quinn getting up quickly. Finn got up quickly and punched Sam in the jaw, which resulted in Sam charging at him, knocking him to the floor and punching him in the face several times. "Please stop! Please you guys stop it!" Quinn yelled trying to get Sam off of Finn, but Sam was too concentrated punching Finn, what he had wanted to do since practice after their little talk. He shrugged Quinn off to the side resulting in her falling back on the floor.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!" Coach Bieste yelled coming around the corner. "KNOCK IT OFF YOU BUNCH OF SISSIES!" she yelled lifting Sam off of Finn. The hallway started filling with some football players that were still in the lockers, all eyes were on Finn, Sam, and Quinn who was crying on the floor. Coach pulled Finn and Sam up by the collar of their shirts. Quinn still on the floor got up quickly and ran out of the school through the parking lot, wanting to not stop until she got to her safe place.
"What do you think that song Quinn sang was all about in there?" Mercedes asked Santana and Brittany standing in the parking lot by her car. "I don't know, but something is up and she's not telling us," replied Santana. "She was singing about realizing stuff, I mean what are WE supposed to realize, she's so confusing sometimes," said Brittany with a confused look. "Omg girl stop it!" said Mercedes while the three girls laughed. "Wow Quinn can sure run," Brittany said pointing at Quinn running through the parking lot. "What?" Mercedes and Santana said looking in the direction Brittany was pointing. "Omg what the hell is going on, she's crying," said Santana with a worried look in her face. Quinn was getting closer to them, "Quinn! Quinn stop! Hey what's wrong!" yelled Mercedes as Quinn just ran past them. "Okay! What the hell is going on, I'm so confused! I've never seen her acting this way," said Santana. "Let's just go to her house and see what's up, she needs her girls," said Mercedes as they all got into her car.
"Why Quinn? Why do things like this happen to you? I love the attention, but I'm not so sure I want THIS kind of attention," Quinn thought to herself looking at the lake. "Why do I have these feelings for him, this is so new It's kind of scary, I don't know how to deal with this. All I know is that I need to give my A game in order to lead Cheerios to the gold title, and pass all my classes to look awesome on college applications, keep it together Quinn," she kept thinking when she heard the rustling of leaves, she was surprised to see Sam appear into view. "Oh hey Quinn, I didn't know you were the outdoorsy type of girl," he said with a smile. Quinn noticed his swollen eye and bruised jaw, "Well you don't know anything about me," she snapped. "You're right, I'm sorry," Sam said with a bowed head. "No, I'm sorry, I should be thanking you, yet I'm here being harsh, thanks for today, I totally had that under control though," Quinn said. "It's okay, no problem, and yeah, it definitely looked like you had it under control," Sam said sitting by Quinn. "I did, I don't need anyone to protect me or stand up for me. What were you doing in the hall anyway? I thought you left with Nancy...I mean I thought I saw you leave," she said, "I was just doing the right thing, you looked scared, I didn't mean to offend you, and I forgot my car keys in my locker so I was just coming back from the locker room," Sam replied. "Well thanks, I guess you were at the right place at the right time," Quinn replied.
After a brief awkward silence Sam decided to break the silence, "So what's the story with lover boy anyway?" asked Sam. "Finn? Oh well you know, star quarterback, me being head cheerleader, it was match made in heaven. We started dating freshman year, for a whole year I thought I loved him, I thought I needed him to be the HBIC at school. Then I started seeing Rachel flirting with him at Glee club and my blood boiled. Why would the star quarterback want some nerdy, glee club loser, I joined the Glee club to keep an eye on them, then I realized that I truly loved it in there, it made me realize I was so good at cheer, the club, I didn't need Finn, I just needed to believe in myself, and I realized I never really liked Finn, and well when I broke the news to him, I guess he thought the same and we ended on good terms, he started dating Rachel, and well I just started working on myself, and then all of a sudden this year he's all over me and I don't get why be would go the extreme just for me you know? I guess it's a guy thing, like a pride thing or something, I just want to get exceptional grades this year, and lead the cheerios to the gold you know? Just work on me, I didn't know it was too much to ask," she said, realizing she had just poured her heart out to Sam Evans a boy she barely knew, but made her feel safe, and she trusted him, it was all new to her, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bore you with my stupid inner battles," she said quickly looking away from Sam. "Oh no, it's fine, I like getting to know queen bee Fabray, realizing she isn't just about superficial appearances, don't worry your secrets are safe with me, I mean being the new kid on the block I guess it wouldn't be so bad having some friends after beating up the school's star quarterback, I should probably get to know my yearbook partner anyway," said Sam with a smile. "Yeah I guess, but seriously, I'm sorry about the bruises, I didn't mean for this to get so out of hand," Quinn said, "Oh no it's fine, I don't mind, it was worth it," said Sam locking eyes with Quinn.
"Oh hey girls," said Quinn's mom answering the door. "Hey Mrs. Fabray," said Santana. "Is Quinn here by any chance?" Santana asked. "Umm no she's not, she probably went out for a run or something, I don't know how long she'll be, is something wrong?" Judy asked. "Oh no we just wanted to say hi, can you tell her we stopped by? Maybe she can call one of us," said Mercedes. "Yeah sure, I'll let her know when she gets back," Judy said with a smile. "Okay thank you! Good night!" said Santana. "Okay bye girls," said Judy closing the door. "Well that was weird I wonder where she's at," said Brittany. "Yeah well I guess we'll find out when she calls," Santana said.
After staring at each other for what felt like hours Quinn caught herself and quickly coughed and got up. "Umm..well this was fun Sam, but it's getting dark and I should probably start walking home," she said. "Oh umm yeah, but I'll drive you, wouldn't want you to get lost or something," Sam said. "Ummm...sure why not, thanks," she said as they made their way to the car. Once in the car it was complete silence. It wasn't awkward though; Quinn felt comfort in the silence. "You can keep going down this street I'll tell you when to stop," she told him as he pulled out of the dirt lot. After about 10 minutes she told him she was home. "Okay well thanks for the drive Sam, I guess I'll see you at school," she said, "Oh yeah umm sure I'll see ya," he said, "Okay well bye," she said getting out of the car. She walked to her door opened it and turned to find Sam waiting for her to get in the house, she waved goodbye as he did and drove away. "Oh Quinnie this was such an interesting day," she thought to herself.
She showered and laid in bed, the effects of practice were starting to creep upon her. She closed her eyes and was sound asleep before she knew it. Her mother walked in her room ready to tell her the girls had stopped by, surprised to find her asleep she turned off her light and closed the door.
