"Where's Sam?" asked Rachel.
"We all decided to look for you around the school; Sam went to look for you where you were last time, but since I've known you for longer and we went out for 6 months I knew where to find you." Finn explained. Rachel walked past Finn to go find Sam.
(Finn/Rachel)
Wait where are you going?
To go find my boyfriend
Why? I mean I know you more than he ever will Rachel we belong together don't you get it we balance each other out.
Finn, did you not hear the song I just sung? I mean we're over; you have to leave me alone. Don't come back for me because I finally found someone that does want me for who I am.
Rachel, I need you. I really do. You're my everything without you I'm just a shadow a wall no one pays attention to me. You're my world I need you, like I need air to breathe please don't leave me. I'm dangling by a string. Don't let me go.
Rachel looked into Finn's eyes she knew that he was being sincere but she liked Sam and she was starting all over again. Maybe later they could have what they had before but right now she needed Sam.
I'm so sorry, Finn.
Rachel please, I'm in love with you, I love you.
As Finn said these words her heart collapsed it skipped a beat she didn't know what was happening she felt something heavy coming over her. Then she fell into blackness.
Finn ran to where Rachel had collapsed he lifted her off the floor. "Help!" he screamed tears running down his face. He was terrified he didn't know what happened to Rachel.
Sam heard Finn screaming for help was something wrong with Rachel. He ran all the way where Finn was he was holding Rachel in his arms. Rachel looked pale. Sam instantly worried. He grabbed Rachel out of Finn's arms and Finn collapsed to the floor crying, "Please help her, I don't know what's wrong with her."
Sam felt bad for Finn, "Calm Down, Bro. She probably just fainted. Just please don't cry anymore." Finn wiped his eyes not crying anymore, but his face full of anguish. Sam was worried too. The rest of the Glee Club had apparently heard Finn shouting because they all came running, Mr. Schuester was panting. "What's happened to her?"
"I'm not certain." said Finn, "She just collapsed on the floor after I told her something and she hit her head pretty badly."
"Let's get her to the hospital." Mr. Schuester said, Rachel was still not conscious as they drove in Mr. Schuester's car to the hospital. Mercedes, Finn and Sam went with Mr. Schue to take Rachel the rest of the Glee Club decided to take their own cars.
"She has a minor concussion nothing to worry about and she should be coming around in about 10 to 15 minutes does anybody want to go in and see her?"
Sam stood up "Yeah, I should go in." Everyone agreed, surprisingly Finn did too. The nurse led Sam into the room Rachel was in. She was already awake, "Hey." Sam said from the door. "Come here." Rachel replied not being able to wait, she wanted Sam's arms to be around her. "How are you?" he asked her. "I could be better." she said a tiny smile spreading in her face. "How so?"
"Come closer" she said.
He went beside her bed now. She grabbed his hand and pulled him towards her, kissing him. Remembering what Finn had told her before she fainted 'I'm in love with you, I love you', she wanted to forget him. She wanted Sam.
They let Rachel out that same night and since her dad's were in a business trip Sam volunteered to stay with her at night. "You better take care of her," threatened Puck, "or else." Sam just nodded. Sam drove Rachel home; he had already asked permission to stay with her. Rachel went straight to her room putting her pajama's on, she decided to put on the one she wore to sleep with Jesse not that anything was going to happen today but still she felt pretty in those pajamas and she didn't want to wear the ones with little stars all over them. She stepped out of her restroom Sam was waiting for her in her bedroom, he was looking at the pictures of her when she was little. When he turned his mouth gaped open, "Hey," she said hoping it wasn't too much.
(Sam/Rachel)
Rachel, can I ask you something?
What's wrong, Sam?
Well, when we asked Finn what happened to you, he said that he told you something before you fainted. Rachel, what did he tell you?
He… he told me he loved me.
Oh.
But I told him I was with you and that I wanted to be with you, and that me and him were over.
Okay.
Sam, look at me. Sam looked at Rachel. I like you I'm with you, and I'm not leaving you anytime soon, not for Finn, not for anyone.
Sam nodded relief spread over his body; he liked Rachel so much he didn't want to loose her like he lost Quinn. Sam grabbed Rachel and pulled her close kissing her on the forehead. Rachel felt safe in Sam's arms; she had never felt like this before, not with Finn not with Puck, it was a complete new feeling. That night Rachel slept in Sam's arms she told him not to leave her, so they slept together. Nothing happened though, they just slept.
It had been 3 weeks since Rachel and started dating Sam, the whole school knew by now. Quinn was trying to get back with Sam. Quinn loved Sam she knew it, but now he was with Rachel. She didn't like that at all she needed to get him back she would do anything just to get him back. She didn't care who his girlfriend was, she just wanted him. She knew since the beginning that leaving him for Finn was a big mistake; she should have never left him. At first, she thought it was too late to get him back but now she knew that it was never too late she still had a big chance of him leaving Rachel for him. She did it with Finn once; she would be able to do it with Sam.
Glee Club
Mr. Schuester had cancelled the competition because of what happened with Rachel so basically they were just getting a new assignment for the week today. Mr. Schue came into the choir room he wrote "Dedication" on the board. Then he said "This week you have to sing a song, you dedicate to someone special something you haven't been able to tell them because you've been too afraid to tell them with words, so now you're going to sing it." Rachel clapped as always she already knew what song to sing, Sam wasn't sure what song he was going to sing, but he knew it was going to be for Rachel. Quinn had the perfect song for Sam. Finn, he also knew what song he was singing to Rachel. Quinn raised her hand "Mr. Schuester I could give an example of the perfect song." Mr. Schuester nodded, shocked because it was usually Rachel the one who volunteered not Quinn. Quinn stood up in front of the class, "This is for you, Sam."
I'm so glad you made time to see me
How's life, tell me how's your family?
I haven't seen them in a while
You've been good, busier then ever
Small talk, work and the weather
Your guard is up and I know why
Cause the last time you saw me
Still burns in the back of your mind
You gave me roses and I left them there to die
So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time
Turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December turn around and make it alright
I go back to December all the time
These days I haven't been sleeping
Staying up playing back myself pleading
When your birthday passed and I didn't call
And I think about summer all the beautiful times
I watched you laughing from the passenger side
Realized I loved you in the fall
Then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye
So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time
Turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time
I miss your tan skin your sweet smiles so good to me so right
And how you held me in your arms that September night
The first time you ever saw me cry
Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably my mindless dreaming
If we loved again I swear I'd love you right
I'd go back in time and change it but I can't
So if the chain is on your door I understand
So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December
Turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December turn around and make it alright
I'd go back to December turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time
All the time
When Quinn finished her song, Rachel had slowly let go of Sam's hand and sat up stiff in her chair she wasn't sure what to think. Sam quickly grabbed her hand back and whispered in her ear "It doesn't mean anything to me." She just nodded and gave his hand a squeeze, she believed him even though she knew Quinn wouldn't stay out of her and Sam's way, she felt like something bad was going to happen like all of a sudden all this happiness she felt couldn't last and it would drain.
For the next few days of the assignment Sam felt Rachel getting distant, he wasn't sure what was happening. She wouldn't call him as often, she would avoid making out sessions. She would make up other things she had to do whenever he asked her out to dinner, he didn't feel like she was his anymore, like slowly she was fading away. Finally Sam found a song that he would sing to Rachel so that Wednesday he asked if he could perform. He said yes, of course.
They entered the choir room, Sam was getting ready to perform when Mr. Schue finally arrived he asked Sam "Ready?" "Yeah," Sam said confident, "This song is dedicated to my girlfriend, Rachel Barbara Berry."
He started singing:
Oh no, oh no, oh
They say that hate has been sent
So let loose the talk of love
Before they outlaw the kiss
Baby, give me one last hug
There's a dream that I've been chasing
Want so badly for it to be reality
And when you hold my hand then I understand
That it's meant to be 'cause, baby, when you're with me
It's like an angel came by, oh and took me to heaven
Like you took me to heaven, girl
'Cause when I stare in your eyes it couldn't be better
I don't want you to go, oh no, so
Let the music blast, we gon' do our dance
Bring the doubters on, they don't matter at all
'Cause this life's too long and this love's too strong
So baby, know for sure that I'll never let you go
I got my favorite girl
Not feeling no pain, no fear
Don't have a care in the world
Why would I when you are here?
There's a moment I've been chasing
And I finally caught it out on this floor
Baby, there's no hesitation, no reservation
By taking a chance and more, oh no, because
It's like an angel came by and took me to heaven
[- From . -]
Like you took me to heaven, girl
'Cause when I stare in your eyes, it couldn't be better
I don't want you to go, oh no, so
Let the music blast, we gon' do our dance
Bring the doubters on, they don't matter at all
'Cause this life's too long and this love's too strong
So baby, know for sure that I'll never let you go
It's like an angel came by and took me to heaven
Like you took me to heaven, girl
'Cause when I stare in your eyes, it couldn't be better
I don't want you to go, oh no, so
As Sam sung these lines he grabbed Rachel's hand and started dancing with her slowly as she giggled. Rachel now knew that Sam really did like her and would never leave her for Quinn like Finn did.
Take my hand, let's just dance
Watch my feet, follow me
Don't be scared, girl, I'm here
If you didn't know, this is love
Let the music blast, we gon' do our dance
Bring the doubters on, they don't matter at all, oh baby
'Cause this life's too long and this love's too strong
So baby, know for sure that I'll never let you go
So don't fear, don't you worry 'bout a thing
I am here, right here, I'll never let you go
Don't shed a tear whenever you need me
I'll be here, I'll never let you go
Oh no, oh no, oh
I'll never let you go
Oh no, oh no, oh
I'll never let you go.
Sam finished his song, leaving Quinn even more jealous of Rachel that before, she remembered when Sam sung Justin Bieber to her. She was so excited, and now he sang to Rachel. Quinn had to come up with something so Sam could return to her.
