Chapter 26

Though nothing happened aside from some pretty intense kissing, it was still more than it should have. But she had found it hard to stop herself, especially once she had started. Quinn was the one that finally stopped the kiss saying that he'd better take Sam home before people started to worry. Sam just nodded and remained quiet the whole time. Quinn didn't speak either.

When she got home she noticed Jake was still there, and everything that had just happened, after everything she found out, she just couldn't take it anymore.

She said thank you to Quinn and got out the car without even giving Quinn the chance to blink and practically ran towards the house because she saw a very angry Jake heading her way. Once inside she raced to her room and locked herself in it. She could hear Brynna in the shower and her Gram had not been in the kitchen. So Sam went to her window and texted Jen to come over because this was serious. Then she sat down underneath her window to wait for Jen and hear the drama that had just began outside her window.

"What did you tell her?" Jake accused Quinn.

Silence.

"Quinn you pile of " Jake started but Quinn cut him off.

"Nothing okay." Quinn lied.

"Don't lie." Jake snarled at him.

"If anything don't you think you should man up and tell her yourself?" Quinn said in a defensive tone. "Instead of hiding like a scared little boy." He taunted.

Silence.

"Jake." Pepper's voice sounded tentative, like if he was asking a question.

"No let him." Quinn said sounding mad.

"Did you tell her?" Jake said through clenched teeth.

"So what if I did." Quinn challenged.

"It wasn't your thing to tell." Jake yelled at him.

"And it clearly wasn't your thing to tell, because like a week has passed and you have yet to even talk to her. What you'd rather she find out through someone like Rachel?" Quinn yelled back.

"What's going on here?" Dallas's voice asked.

"Nothing." Jake, Quinn, and Pepper said at the same time.

"Well it clearly looks like something." Dallas said.

"People don't know when something is none of their business and they should keep their big mouth out of it." Jake said bitterly.

"Well someone should be a little bit more of a man and accept their responsibilities and that includes telling the truth." Quinn said just as harshly.

"And both of you better start talking straight before I bring Wyatt into this." Dallas said sternly.

Silence.

"I'm serious." Dallas said again.

"I'll just leave. Sorry about this." Quinn said seriously.

Next thing Sam heard was a car engine starting and then a car going over the bridge.

Jen hurry please. Sam thought.
