AN: Sorry! It's been crazy but here's a new chapter!

"Sam…. I had no idea." Said Quinn, as she rushed to him. When she reached the bed where he was and pulled him into a hug. She kissed his cheek before pulling away, though she left him at arm's length with her hands on his shoulders.

"God, I'm such a terrible girlfriend. Why didn't you tell me!" she cried. 'How could someone hurt cute, loveable Sam? Better yet, how could he hide so much pain with a happy front. How long had he been so self-destructive?' These questions raced around in the New Directions head while some of the warblers worried that if this was the type of things that were shown, what would be shown of them?

"Babe, please don't blame yourself." Sam pleaded to Quinn. He hated seeing her sad, much less at what was his fault (at least, that's what he thought.)

Quinn searched his eyes through her tears.

"Why didn't you tell me?" she asked again, more desperation bleeding into it.

Sam's face went a shade paler. He knew she wanted an answer but didn't know what to say. He had different reasons for hiding different things, though they all stemmed from one thing.

"I-I was scared," he whispered at a level that would normally be just loud enough for her to hear but in the dead silence of everyone listening through tears, it was heard loud and clear.

"Babe…" she said before pulling him into another hug. She held him close for what felt like hours before finally letting him go again.

"Why were you scared?" she asked. She didn't want to but she had to know. Did she do something wrong? Had someone instilled in him a reason to be scared? How could she fix it?

"Many reasons…" he started before hesitating. He didn't want to continue, to worry them, but he knew he had to.

"I thought you'd see me as a freak. I tried so hard to seem normal and when I got close to all of you I was scared of losing you. I was worried if you found out about the incident you'd laugh or worse, pity me. I didn't mention the abuse because I didn't want you to know. It would hurt you, just like it is now and if it didn't I was scared you'd agree with what they said. I couldn't take it if you agreed with them, about anything they said. And I couldn't let you know about me not eating that much for the same reasons and for fear you'd try to make me stop. I'm so sorry you had to find out like this but I never wanted you to know. To feel this pain and cry like you are now. I'm sorry." As Sam finished his rant he had tears rolling down his face as his hand cradled Quinn's face that was covered in tears.

Everyone in the crowd that knew him was crying and those he didn't were still holding back tears. Everyone was taking in what they saw but no one could control their emotions. Suddenly, Quinn spoke with such a fierce look in her eye that meant business.

"Never. Never think that again. That would never happen. Never in a thousand years would I agree with those despicable people so don't you even toss that idea around in your head. I don't know where you got that idea from but that will never happen. I will always be there for you and even now, especially now, I'm going to help you." she said. Even though she spoke semi-quietly it was with such determination and force it was heard loud and clear. The words and the meaning behind them.

Sam looked at the woman he loved and knew for certain that she wouldn't leave him, not like the others. For the first time in years, he was filled with a happiness he hadn't felt since his parents were alive. He was finally in a place where he was surrounded by loving friends, finally had a family that kept him safe, and finally had a girlfriend he knew he would love forever and that would love him right back. He leaned in and gave her a kiss before they both turned and walked to where the rest of their friends were.

When they arrived at the group, they were greeted with hugs. Finn clapped him on the shoulder and said,

"You know the same goes for all of us, don't even think about keeping any more secrets from us." causing everyone to laugh.

"And don't think we've forgotten that you need help. I'm going to help you beat Anorexia," said Quinn.

"We all are," added Mercedes.

"Cause we're a family, and as cheesy as it may sound, family means no one gets left behind or forgotten," said Blaine.

"And you've seen Kurt when he gets something in his head about helping a loved one." laughed Santanna.

"So don't even try and get away with not eating," said Kurt.

The New Directions were finally coming together again now that it seemed their big secrets were out of the way. They all gathered together as a family in a group hug that started out as Brittney hug the Real life Ken and Barbie.

"See… you guys thought this would be sooooo bad but look at how much happy they are now," said Lizzy.

"So, we're done?" asked Jeff, hopefully.

"Oh, sweetie! Don't think I've forgotten about you. You're next!" she said in a way that made her sound slightly insane.

"Jeff? He's not hiding anything!" said Nick, as he was the closest to the blond boy, both figuratively and literally. On the inside, Nock was nervous and excited. 'What if he likes me back!' and 'Don't I know him fully?' swam in his head.

Jef just stood there with panic on his face as all the Warblers and even some New Directions turned to face him. The ND's that hadn't been in the Warblers didn't know all that much about him but still didn't want someone to be being hurt, either physically or emotionally. Everyone that knew him was utterly confused, he was an open book, wasn't he?

"Jeff?" asked Blaine, hoping for some explanation before whatever they would see would be shown. Jeff just stood there, trying to hold back a panic attack and ignore the calls and questions of his fellow Warblers. As he started to lose control of his breathing, he promptly passes out causing chaos between the groups as-as soon as he hit the floor he disappeared.

Luckily, moments later he appeared on the bed.

"Don't worry," started Lizzy," I did that because I knew he wasn't going to come up willingly."

"Now, I'm going to show you a lot of different things. Some may even be happy because I can only show so much sadness at once." and with that, the smoke filled the room.

AN: I know that's NOT how eating disorders work but in this story that's how it going for now. Sorry it's been so long!
