So yeah; taking some unfitting things out, adding in a few more plot-related devices, as well as fixing spelling and grammatical errors.
Enjoy!

A/N from August 2012:
Sorry in advance that this chapter is so short, It's sort-of more of a filler chapter.
I hope you guys like it anyway!

02: Kids in Love


I look back to the one and only summer time, and my girl was the envy of every friend of mine


It's mid-June, and Sam had invited me to go to Kentucky with him to visit his family for the summer, I had accepted. We are now taking our things into the house and his younger sister Stacy is following us around. I turned to her.

"You are so cute!" I said, suddenly hugging her, and she giggled. "Sammy, your new friend is pretty! Do you like her?" Stacy asked Sam, with big eyes. Sam chuckled and kneeled down in front of Stacy. He ruffled her hair, and smiled. "Yeah. I like her a lot." He said, smiling at me. "That's good! I like her too!" Stacy said, smiling at me, before skipping inside. Sam stood and I noticed his face was slightly pink, and I smiled at him, as he grabbed my hand.

"Come on; mom wanted to take us out to dinner."


She slept safely in my arms; we were so young and invincible


After the dinner, we were back at the house and watching movies. I was curled up next to Sam on the floor, while his parents and siblings were on the couch. After we had watched a couple, everyone had gotten tired, so it was bedtime.

Sam and I were walking to the room that's labeled as his, which we're sharing while we're here. "You know, this is nice." I said, as we entered his room. "What is?" Sam asked. "This. Spending some time with your family. I really like them Sam." I said, smiling as I sat on the bed. "Yeah but they can be embarrassing sometimes…" Sam said rubbing the back of his neck as his face flushed red. "But they seem to like you, that much I can tell." He said, sitting next to me.

I smiled and went to kiss Sam's cheek, but he was leaning toward me and I kissed his nose instead. I giggled as Sam made a face. "You're so cute Sam." I said. Sam kissed me. "Not as cute as you."


Closed lips, she was never one to kiss and tell, those trips in the summer never went so well


On the fourth of July, Sam's family had bought a ton of fireworks, so we sent the evening setting them off in their backyard. Then, about a week after that, we all went to a river that was a little ways away, but we all had fun.

After that, there was a fair, so we went to that as well. I've never been to a fair or carnival before in my life, so this was a big first for me. They had a funhouse, a carousel, a Ferris wheel, and more. Sam won a big stuffed blue monkey, and gave it to me. We went through the funhouse, and I was amused, because there was someone there who when he stood in front of one of the mirrors, looked just like Finn.

My favorite part of that day though, was when Sam and I had gone of the Ferris wheel. When it stopped and we were in the air, and I was in awe of the view, Sam kissed me. I was so surprised, that I had nearly dropped the stuffed monkey, but I returned the kiss.


Young love is such dumb love, Call it what you want it was still enough


Then came our final week with Sam's family. His mother had taken me shopping, and we got to spend some time together, as Sam and his dad worked on Sam's truck. I felt a connection with Sam's family; more than I have felt with another group of people in a while. Other than the Glee club; however, since more than half of the members graduated, it's gotten quite small.

When we were ready to leave, Stacy ran up to me and hugged me. "Please don't leave! You can stay with us forever!" She said. I smiled softly and patted her head. "Don't worry Stacey, I'll be back soon, okay? I promise this." I said, smiling and holding my pinky towards her. She grabbed it with hers and smiled. "Okay, it's a promise."


We'd walk down the beach counting every star, our hearts beat inside our chest, leaving us gasping for every breath.


"So, are you thinking about going down to visit them for Christmas?" I asked. Sam chuckled. "Maybe...probably. It depends how things go between now and then, you know?" he said, smiling. I nodded. "I understand." I said. "Mom really seemed to like you; you know. The same with Dad, Stacey and Stevie." Sam said. I smiled. "They were...nice. It was nice being with them." I said. Sam hugged me. "I'm sure that they thought the same thing about you."
