"Not if I can help!" He said, entering the room. Kurt was just talking about how they'd lose Sectionals.

Quinn had this feeling in the pit of her stomach the whole morning. She thought that maybe he wouldn't come since he didn't get to any classroom. But when she heard that voice - his voice -, she felt her whole body tremble. Her throat went completely dry and her hands started to shake and get sweaty.

For a split of a second she didn't know what to do, but she quickly got herself together and got up.

"Come here!" She said, trying to sound as friendly as possible.

The moment she touched him, the moment she felt his hands on his back, oh how she was convinced that was a dream. But then she felt his perfume. There was something familiar in that perfume. It was the same one she gave him a week before they broke up. She couldn't believe he began to use that perfume.Her perfume.

Unfortunately, they broke apart. His touch, his breath, his perfume. She was about to go weak in his arms, except she came back to reality in the perfect timing.

He hasn't really changed. Except his hair was shorter and a bit darker, he was the same. He still had that goofy smile everytime he got a guitar and started playing it.

Quinn couldn't help but notice the looks he'd give her. Once, when he said "True friend help you find your way back", even though she knew it was all out of her mind since she had nothing to do with him being back. And then countless times throughout the song he was singing - Red Solo Cup -, but he was looking at everyone too.

At least that's what she wanted to believe. Why would she deceive herself when he was being nothing but friendly? Maybe that idea of fighting for a second chance wasn't that good.

But, whatever. He was there. She had to put her feelings aside for at least a few hours to enjoy his company. To be able to hug him again, and again, and again. That's what she wanted. His company.

The Glee club was over and on Tuesdays it wasn't their last period. They'd still have two more classes - one being Math and the last one a free period -, and luckily, Quinn succeeded to avoid Sam while oh Math class. She was hoping that his last period wasn't free as well.

But it didn't work out. His last period was, in fact, a free period too. She actually giggled when she realized that maybe the universe could be still trying to tell her something. Something like "get in love, cheat, get abandoned, and then face the man who did that to you everyday" or something even more dramatic.

She tried to stay away, but she couldn't. She was the only Glee club member on that period. "Thank you so much, universe!" she thought, while she saw a familiar figure approaching her. It was him.

"So, we still didn't have that much time to talk, huh?" He said, sitting beside her on a bench. It was right under a tree so they were protected from the sun.

"I know, right?" She faked a smile. "How are things going?" She said, not looking at him.

"Things are great. I mean, my dad got a new job, and so did my mom. We have a new house. In Kentucky, of course, but it's still my house." He said, looking at the field. Oh how he missed being on the football team. "My brother and my sister are fine too. They ask about you a lot." He smiled.

"Oh." She said, trying to sound nice and sweet, but she actually sounded sad. "What do you tell them?"

"I tell them that you're here, in Ohio. And that we are far away from each other, and there is no way you can drive 4 hours just to visit us." She smiled when she heard the word us. "And then Stevie goes all "yeah you're right, it's danger out there and she's a pretty girl", like he's a grown man." He giggled. "It's funny. But they really, really do miss you."

She finally had the guts to look at him. "I miss them too." She said, smiling.

It started like a little movie in her head. All the times she'd babysit for them, for free, in order to help them. Well, that's what she said. She had Finn, yes, but she loved Sam. And that was her excuse to stay with him. To help him. It hurted her to say repeatedly "There is nothing going on between Sam and I.", but that unfortunately was the truth.

And then when they slept, she had to go home. Sometimes she'd stay and talk to Sam and tell him she could get a job too just to give him the money. He'd laugh everytime and say Quinn Fabray and job aren't the perfect couple. He'd ask about Finn sometimes, and she could sense the pain in his voice, but his eyes and expression were completely normal.

When he finally looked at her, their eyes met, and that's what brought her back to reality. She felt a shiver going throughout her spine. She couldn't believe that she was looking at those eyes again.

"So…" He said, breaking the silence. "How have you been?"

"Oh, I'm fine." She said, lying as usual. "You know, Beth is back. I mean, Shelby is back, and she brought Beth. I went, uh, a little crazy in the beginning of the year, but Beth brought be back." She said, smiling when she said the name of her daughter. "She's beautiful. She's perfect."

"What do you mean by you going a little crazy?" He said, while looking at her face suddenly become funnier.

"I dyed my hair pink." She said, giggling while the memories came. "I got a tattoo and piercings and… basically, I started dressing all punk." She laughed lowly, almost inaudible. "I thought I had found myself. But oh God, I was wrong." She said, slowly closing her smile. "I'm still broken, you know. I'm still a hot mess." She said, feeling lighter while she spoke up about her problems. "But I'm working on it."

He sadly smiled and placed one hand on her shoulder. "I'm here for you. If you want to, of course."

"Yes, that'd be good. Thank you Sam." She smiled.

Inside, she was so nervous, and so happy at the same time. He was there for her. That was all she wanted - for someone to be there for her - but havinghim was what she really needed.

The bell rang and she mentally stabbed the clock. That moment was so perfect. Damn it, clock!

"I have to go find Finn. I'm staying at his house." He said, getting up, while she did the same.

"Finn's house?" She said, not believing what she just heard. He was the reason why they broke up and now they were friends again? I mean, he was amazing to him when they found out his situation, yes, but that didn't erase the past. Or maybe she was the one still hurt with all that happened, even though it was her fault. "Cool." She composed herself.

"See you tomorrow, Quinn." He kissed her cheek, followed by a warming hug. "Bye."

"Bye!" She said.

He turned back and walked away, almost running, to catch Finn. She was still standing on the same spot, trying to recover from what just happened. This moment, the kiss on the cheek, the hugs… It was all on her dreams.

She thought once he came back, he would avoid her and pretend she didn't exist but it was completely the opposite. He was actually there for her.

"He cares." She said, while walking away. "He cares."

And smiling, sure that maybe there is still a chance for them, she left the field, heading home, while daydreaming about some kind of future, not that far away, in which Sam is always by her side.

Yayyyyyyyyy he's back! I've tried to put some of the canon storylines into this, that's why the first scene actually happened in the show.

I hope that at this point you guys are starting to have some of the central idea of this fanfic.

Review please? I wanna know what you guys think!
