"What?" Quinn said. She can't believe that Sam is asking her to be his girlfriend. If she wanted to increase her popularity, she would've said 'yes' right away. But all she could think of right now is Finn. She wanted him. She needed him. She can't be friends with him today then avoid him tomorrow – that is plain wrong. But then again, she isn't sure if Finn truly loves her.

Sam tensed up. "Quinn, you know, it's fine if you don't want to… if you don't feel anything for me. I'd understand."

"Help me dry up first," Quinn said with authority. She hasn't used this tone on Sam yet and she was surprised at his expression. He didn't look scared – the way others do – but instead, he smiled. She remembered Finn again because this was how he acted when she first tried this tone on him.

Quinn walked out of the Cheerios locker room with her hair blow-dried and tied up to a ponytail. She wasn't dripping wet anymore and her makeup was on. She walked towards Sam, who was leaning beside the door of the locker room. Her hands were on her sides and she said, "I thought about what you said to me and I realized that I do need someone in my life. I've been single since summer so I think it's fine if we'd start dating."

"So, is that a yes?" Sam asked, now getting nervous. He had wanted Quinn ever since he first saw her and that was when she and Santana fought along the hallway. He had heard of Santana since his first day and he actually thought she was hot. But when he was spying on her on the first day of school, he was shocked to see her with a blonde girl who was even much prettier than her. He was actually shocked at how perfect Quinn looked that day.

She nodded. "That's a yes. But please, Sam, take care of yourself when Puck decides to kick your ass."

He hugged her tightly and Quinn hugged back too. She can't imagine how Finn or Puck will look like when they find out about this. She doesn't want to hurt them but then again, she has to. She needs to move on with her life the way other girls do. She can't chase after Finn anymore.

When they both pulled back, Quinn was surprised to see Puck standing at the other end of the hallway with his fists clenched. He rushed towards Quinn and Sam and grabbed Sam's shirt.

"Puck, don't! Don't, please!" Quinn begged. Puck's breathing was fast and he looked like he was ready to beat Sam up. He didn't hear Quinn because of the hatred that was about to burst in his heart. He loves Quinn so much and this huge-mouthed guy just can't take her away from him.

"Listen to me, please. Puck, just listen to me," Quinn said, both hands on Puck's face. His eyes were full of pain and she can easily see that. "Don't do this. Don't hurt him."

Puck then let go of Sam and faced Quinn. "What the hell is this, Quinn? What about us?"

"There's no more 'us', Puck. I'm really sorry."

"I promised you that I'd bring Beth back to us, babe," he said and Quinn's chest hurt for a while. Her eyes welled up and she clenched her chest. She felt sorrow flow through her body and her knees weakened. She fell to the floor, crying.

"Don't remind me of Beth, please," she sobbed. Puck sat down in front of her and comforted her. "I don't want to hear her name anymore. It just reminds me of what I did. I shouldn't have given her away."

"Quinn, baby…" Puck said and hugged her. "I'm sorry. I'll just make it up to you, okay?"

Quinn smiled then hugged him back.
