"Oh my god!" Kurt sang cheerfully as he reentered the room, oblivious to the slight tension in the room.
"Who died?" Kurt deadpanned when he noticed all of their serious looks and took in the almost deafining silence.
Kurt's eyes scanned over the faces before he noticed the absence of Santana. His bright blue eyes widened as realization clouded his face. He sat down quietly, joining the silence.
"Someone should go after her." Sam suggested quietly.
"No. Let her process for a little bit." Quinn started. "If we try and drag it out of her she'll just lash out." She finished, Brittany nodding her agreement.
"But this is good." Kurt grinned. "With Finn out of the way, they can finally be together!"
He slapped a hand over his mouth in horror as he eyes took sight of Marley.
"Oh no it's okay!" Marley reassured him. "Santana already told me everything." She smiled slightly.
"And you still had sex with her?" Sam asked incredulously, ignoring the gasps of surprise from the table.
Marley's eyes widened and a blush splashed her face. "W-what? No! Why... Why would you even say that?" She stuttered out.
"I fucking told you." Quinn snarled, slapping Sam's shoulder hard.
"Ow!" Sam whined, rubbing his stinging shoulder. "Quinn that friggin' hurt!" He glared.
"Well that's what you get! I told you they didn't sleep together." Quinn glared. "Why would you even ask that in front of everybody? Marley's probably not even comfortable with all you crazies." She added smirking slightly.
"That doesn't change the fact that she still loves Rachel." Sam glared at her.
"What the hell are you even talking about? How does that even relate to Marley!" Quinn spat, rising from her seat to tower over Sam. She'd had enough of Sam and his insinuations already.
Sam got up from his seat too and faced Quinn. He knew there was something Quinn wasn't telling because even though she could be a big bitch, it was never without reason. Sam could see he was provoking her and he thought maybe if he pushed hard enough she'd let it out. "What the fuck is your problem with her? It's like you hate her!" Sam yelled into Quinn's face.
"BECAUSE I DO!" Quinn roared, face flushing dark red from anger. She could feel her blood boiling in a way, she'd never experienced before. "You all think Rachel's this innocent fucking person! Well news flash she's fucking not! None of you's were getting drunken phone calls from their best friend begging to come and pick them up! None of you were here to help me and Brittany put that girl back together when Rachel broke her fucking heart!" Quinn screamed, angrily pointing a finger towards the stair case Santana had disappeared into. "None of you know what Rachel's capable of!" She finished before storming out of the kitchen in search of her stuff. Her hands were shaking from the massive amount of adrenaline pumping though her blood. She knew she would have hit Sam if she'd given him the chance to speak again. She wasn't about to do that in front of Tina or in Santana's house. She had some control over her temper but it was quickly fading. She needed to leave and she needed to leave now. She was sure Brittany would take care of Tina in her absence. With that she grabbed her car keys and exited the house with a slam of the door.
Everyone remained at the table absolutely stunned. No one had seen Quinn blow up that bad or that quickly. Yes, she had a temper but she was usually more patient than that.
"Well that escalated quickly." Kurt monotoned.
"I should go after her." Tina said, getting up from the table.
"No." Puck said, getting up and placing a hand on her shoulder. "I'll go. I need to talk to her anyway." He said, walking out of the room and tossing a meaningful glance at Sam.
Tina watched him leave slightly dazed and confused as Sam sighed and sat down.
"What just happened?" Brittany asked, face scrunching up in confusion.
"I'm sorry." Sam said to all of them, head hanging in shame. "Quinn's right Marley. I shouldn't have brought that up in front of everyone. It was wrong of me and I apologize. Tina I'm sorry for provoking Quinn like that, I didn't really think anything through." He said guiltily.
Marley smiled awkwardly. "It's okay Sam. I get that Santana's your friend and all but I didn't sleep with her. We're just friends." She said seriously.
Sam smiled at her, relieved she wasn't mad at him. He shifted his glance to Tina and felt his face pale and blood run cold at the glare she directed at him. He swallowed thickly and prepared himself to receive the brunt of his actions.
"I don't know what the was about." Tina started fiercely, everyone at the table flinched. They had never seen Tina look or speak to anyone like that. "But I have never. And I mean never seen Quinn like that!" She continued.
"Whatever it is you're trying to accomplish with her ends now Sam. If she's got an issue with Rachel let her solve it or let her come to you with help, on her own free will Sam! Don't force her or try to drag things out of her. I don't ever want to see her like that again, so if you think you can't control yourself, I highly suggest you make your presence around her scarce. Or you'll be dealing with me. Do you understand me?" Tina said seriously, she wasn't trying to be mean to Sam or purposely hurt his feelings but Quinn's well being came first with her. He needed to know that what he'd done was not okay and wouldn't be tolerated. And if she had to smack a bitch to get that point across, then so be it.
Sam nodded with wide eyes. He wouldn't deny that he was absolutely terrified. He also wouldn't deny the embarrassment he felt. He really did only want to help but it wasn't his place to push and he understood that now. "I really am sorry Tina. It won't happen again I swear." He said meekly, too ashamed to meet her eyes.
Tina sighed and got up from her seat at the table. "Come here Sam." She said wrapping her arms around him in a hug.
Sam griped her like his life depended on it as a few tears slipped from his eyes. "I'm not mad at you. Just apologize to Quinn when she calms down and everything will be okay." Tina whispered to the boy.
Brittany snorted at the sight in front of her but promptly slapped a hand over her mouth. Her face blushed when she realized she'd let it slip. "I'm sorry! I'm not laughing at you! Well just a little bit but only cuz Sam is like 6 feet tall and Tina's so so tiny!" She rushed to explain when everyone looked at her incredulously.
Sam laughed lightly. "We did look kinda funny." He said smiling shyly at Tina. She smiled back reassuring that she wasn't mad at him.
"Well it was nice hanging with you guys and all but I really need to go. Ill see you guys on Monday. Say bye to Santana for me." Marley said as she got up from the table and went to get her things.
A chorus of goodbyes rang out behind her as she walked out the door with a smile on her face. Those guys were definitely something.
