Not Over You

"I told you to back off man. Do you know what that means?" Sam shouted as he pushed me in the middle of the hallway.

"And I told you not a chance. Do you understand what that means?" I countered before pushing Sam harder.

"From what I've heard, you've barely talked to her since last year. That pretty much tells me that you know almost noting about her."

"I know more about her than you ever will. We actually made connections. One that nobody not even you can get rid of. Who are you to tell me that I know nothing about Quinn Fabray?"

"I'm her boyfriend, not you. So leave her alone. Quinn would never in a million years run back to you. I'm a better boyfriend to her than you'll ever be! That's probably why she went and made a baby with Puckerman. To get away from you."

At that last statement, I snapped. I tackled Sam into the row of lockers behind him. People started to gather around but I was only focused on rearranging Sam's face and making him take back what he just said.

I kneed him hard in the stomach making him bend forward from the impact. He recovered quickly and threw tackled me almost hitting the people who were blocking the lockers. I landed one punch that busted his lip and another that's probably gonna cause a black eye. Sam didn't go down easily though he tried his hardest and landed some pretty good punches.

Within seconds, I feel arms grab me and pull me back. I noticed that Sam was being pulled away too.

"What's the matter with you guys?" Mr. Shue shouted. We both decided not to answer. "Everyone back to class! Shannon would you help me take these guys to Figgins office?"

"Sure, Will." I finally realized that Coach Bieste was the one holding me back from lunging at Sam.

"What has gotten into you guys?" Mr. Shue asked us as we exited Figgins' office. "Both of you are good kids, so why were you fighting with each other?" Again we both chose not to tell him. "Well since you're not going to tell me, I don't want to see that ever happen again. Understand?"

"Yes, Mr. Shue." we told him.

"Good now let's get to glee. Everyone's probably waiting."

Inside the choir room there was much tension. The glee club seemed to be divided into two groups. Rachael, Puck, Sam, and Quinn on one side. On the other side were Santana, Mercedes, Artie, Brittany, Tina, Mike, and me. Sam had him and Quinn sit as far away from our group as possible. My group had fromed a circle around me.

Mr. Shue also noticed the seating and the tension. He realized that whatever he was saying wouldn't matter with all this bad energy flowing around. "You guys I noticed that we're not going to get anywhere until this problem has been solved. I have no business in it so I'm going to leave and have you guys work it out. You're dismissed at the bell." he announced before gathering his stuff and leaving.

Nobody seemed to want to do anything about the problem so they just talked amongst themselves. My group was trying to cheer me up by telling stories, joking around, and having fun. I eventually gave in and decided to put whatever happened behind me and enjoy myself with my friends.

"So, you guys wanna do something after school today?" I addressed my group knowing that today was a Friday. All practices had been canceled since all the coaches had to go to coaching seminars.

"Sure, what do you have in mind?" Artie wondered.

"Well I mean it's pretty hot outside. Why don't we head to the lake. Play in the lake and start our own bonfire." I suggested.

"That sounds fun." Tina agreed.

"I'm in. How about you guys?" Santana piped in.

One by one everyone agreed. We were all gonna go straight home from school and pack what we might need and then meet up at the park. I noticed that Puck and Rachael were sitting on the other side of the room talking to themselves. They barely even looked at Sam and Quinn. This could be my chance to try to reform my friendship with my childhood best friend.

"Hey Rachael, Puck." I called. "Uh...do you guys wanna come with us to the lake later tonight?"

They looked at each other and smiled. Then they turned back still smiling. "Yes, thank you for inviting us, Finn." Rachael responded.

"Come over here. We're talking about what we're gonna need." I invited them to come sit with us. "So I say we bring towels, extra clothes, lots of blankets, and chairs.

"Why do we need blankets?" Rachael seemed confused.

"Well even with bonfire going on, it still gets cold down there. And you might want some to lay on. Hanging out at the beach after school makes you pretty tired. So I'll be surprised if we'll be able to drive back home." Mike answered.

"You mean we might end up sleeping out there?"

"Chill, Rachael all of us except you have been down there. Heck Finn, Mike, Matt, and I use to stay there like every weekend." Puck remembered and assured his girlfriend that it would be completely safe.

I noticed that we were the only ones sitting on the other side of the room. It's not that I cared about looking like a loner. I just would rather be sitting with Finn's group going over plans at the beach and the bonfire. I'm glad though that Finn had invited Puck and Rachael. To me and many others it seemed kinda weird to not see Finn and Puck together goofing off. It made me feel a little better to see that Finn was making an effort to get back to hanging out with Puck. Now they'll just get to add Mike to their little group.

Some of the tension in the room do disappear due to the change in the atmosphere. After the bell rang everyone started to rush out of the room except one.

"Finn?" I carefully approach him hoping that he wouldn't run out because of the fight he got into with Sam and me still being Sam's girlfriend and all.

"Oh. Hey Quinn." he barely whispers the words. "Umm...we're going to the lake for a bonfire. You can come if you want." without waiting for a response he takes off.

He seemed a bit nervous about talking to me but I just let that go. I wanted to go but knew that Sam wouldn't. Sam had told me that he and his family were going out of town tonight until Sunday because they were visiting his grandparents. So I made my decision to join them. I knew what to bring since they weren't so secretive or quiet about what to bring.

We all met up at the park about an hour later. Finn seemed a little shocked to see that I had actually decided to come. As a group we agreed to just drive to the lake in two cars. Finn told Puck to follow him since I knew the lake the best out of everyone. I rode in Finn's car with Mike, Tina, and Mercedes, while everyone else rode with Puck.

In about twenty minutes we were at our destination and began unpacking our things. After taking in the surroundings for a some time, I noticed that we weren't that far from the special spot. Mine and Finn's special place by the lake.

I was sure that since nobody would really miss me, I would go sit at that spot until the bonfire. When nobody was looking, I walked in the direction of the special tree. It was only about five minutes away. As I sat down, I realized that I was dumb enough to forget to bring a blanket.

Just as I was about to head back, I hear footsteps coming from that direction. Soon enough a tall figure came up.

"Kinda figured that you would be here." Finn said as he approached the tree and sat down. When he pulled out a blanket, I figured that he probably wouldn't mind sharing it with me.

"You knew I'd be here?" I challenged him to tell me how he knew.

"Yeah. Just as I was about to jump in the water, I noticed that you disappeared. I knew that you haven't been out here enough times to go anywhere else familiar. Plus, I kinda hoped that you would've noticed where we were."

I sat next to him and he offered me some of his blanket.

"Seriously, Fabray, you forgot to bring a blanket out here. I that you had a bunch of common sense." he teased.

"Haha. Very funny, Hudson." I said sarcastically. When I looked up at his face I noticed that he had a small cut on his lip and right above his eye. It reminded me that he got into a fight with Sam, so I decided to fight out the reason to it. "So will the all-so-smart Finn Hudson tell me why he got into a fight with my boyfriend?"

He let out a long sigh. "Do you really want to know?" I nodded. "Well you have to answer this first. Why did sleep with Puck? Was it because I was that bad of a boyfriend to you?"

I was kinda shocked at first that he would ask that and even more shocked that he thought it all happened because he was a bad boyfriend.

"No you weren't a bad boyfriend. It's just..." I began to remember that day.

"Hey, Q, did you gain some weight?...Lift up your shirt, I think I see Dumbo the Elephant hiding there...My poor cheerios, having to lift hippo..." Coach Sue kept insulting me in front of the entire squad.

I was having a horrible day. Then I had to go to Mike Chang's party since I was expected to go even though I didn't want to.

When I got there I saw Santana. "Hey San, have you seen Finn?"

"Finn?" she slurred. She was definitely drunk. "I think Brittany told me that she heard that he was hanging out with Manhands tonight."

He's hanging out with Rachael when I needed him the most. The day that I needed him to make me feel better. I was about to head home when Puck stepped in front of me.

"Hey, Quinn. I heard what happened." he faked sincerity.

"What do you want Puck?" I asked not wanting to talk to him.

"I wanted to help you feel better. Why don't we go upstairs and you tell me all about it?" he smirked as he had a bunch of wine coolers in hand.

"Really?"

"Yeah. Come on." he takes my hand and leads me upstairs to one of the rooms. We sat on the bed and when I started venting, he handed me a wine cooler. One of many I choose to consume that night. And then it all happened.

"So I was a bad boyfriend? I wasn't there for you." he concluded.

"No. You were the perfect boyfriend. It's just that night my self-esteem was low and then you being with Rachael and I felt so insecure."

"I'm sorry." he kissed my head.

"It's ok. Now that I answered your question. Time for you to answer mine. Why did you get into a fight with Sam?" I pleaded. I really wanted to know why my boyfriend and my ex-boyfriend were fighting even though I already had an idea.

"Sam came up to me right after fifth. Again he told me to back off. Again I said no. Then he continued to push me and say stuff he knew nothing about."

"Like what?"

"He said that I knew nothing about you. I told him that you and I have made connections that nobody could take away." He paused. "Then he said that you went and slept with Puck. And I snapped." he finished.

I was speechless. I was angry at Sam for not only making false accusations but announcing them to the part of the school that witnessed the entire thing. After a while I realized Finn shifting around and standing up.

"We should get back. They're gonna start the bonfire soon." he helped me up and we walked back.

Finn, Puck, and Mike had the bonfire started in minutes. We all sat around and found out that Mike was right about being to tired to pack up and leave. Everyone started to lay out their blankets not too far from the fire.

Slowly people had started to fall asleep. When I looked over at Finn, I noticed that he was motioning for me to join him in his blanket. Happily I crawled in next to him and laid my head in the crook of his neck.

Before I began to drift off to sleep, I heard Finn whisper in my ear "I still haven't given up on us yet, Q."

I fell asleep with Finn's arm tightly wrapped around me. I knew that I would have to choose between Finn and Sam soon, but for now I'm gonna enjoy them both being in my life before one ends up hating me for breaking their heart.
