Chapter 9: Go Your Own Way

Finn, Rachel, Kurt, and Blaine had been driving around for 20 minutes, looking in all the places Sam might be.

"I don't think we're going to find him..." Finn said, his voice trailing off as he squinted his eyes to see the street signs.

"I think Finn is...wait, aren't we near the bus terminal?" Rachel asked. She turned around to Kurt and Blaine, who gave her shrugs and told her they didn't know.

"Do you know where it is?" Blaine asked her, staring back out the window.

"I think I do..I've taken it a few times when I went to New York City with my dads and they didn't want to drive. Actually I think it's up this way," she said, pointing towards a road. Finn followed her direction and sure enough there were signs for the bus terminal.

All of their eyes were glued to their windows, scanning the area for a blonde haired guy in a letterman jacket.

"I found him! He's right over there!" Rachel yelled, causing Finn to stop the car short. Everyone slammed back in their seats, groaning from the jolt.

"Sorry guys," Finn said, driving slowly to park the car. He quickly unlocked the doors as they all unbuckled their seat belts, anxious to get to Sam before he could leave. Rachel was the first to leave the car, slamming the door behind her as she ran in Sam's direction. Kurt followed closely behind her as Blaine and Finn hung back, walking side by side.

"Are you okay?" Blaine finally asked, his hands deep in his pockets.

"Yeah, I'm cool," Finn answered, keeping his eyes on the ground.

"I know today didn't go the way you wanted it to...but you've got Rachel for the rest of your life...and at the end of the day that's all that really matters," Blaine said reassuringly.

"Thanks man, I really appreciate that." They had finally made it to where Sam, Rachel, and Kurt were, and Rachel had a sad look on her face.

"Sam, you can't go, you just can't!" she pleaded, turning back to Sam.

"Rachel..." Sam started to say, but she interrupted him.

"No, you CAN'T go Sam, you can't!" she cried, and Finn came to her side and wrapped his arm around her waist.

"What's going on man?" Finn asked, shaking Sam's hand.

"Not much...finally cooled down. But I can't be here right now, I can't stay here and see her and him...I have to get away," Sam said, straightening up.

"Where are you gonna go? And where did your suitcase come from?" Blaine asked, appearing next to Kurt.

"I called my dad and told him what happened...he met me here and gave me the suitcase. And I have some friends up in Toronto I'm gonna stay with..."

"You're gonna go to Canada?" Kurt exclaimed, his eyes getting wide.

"Yeah..." Sam said, his voice trailing off. "Look..I don't want to miss my bus. I really appreciate you guys coming down here but...this is just something I have to do. I can't face her...I can't see her everyday and not feel...hurt and betrayed and angry. I can't see him without wanting to punch him in the face...I'm really sorry, I have to go." Everyone nodded in silence, realizing that there was no way they could keep Sam from leaving.

"Just...be safe okay? And let us know that you got there," Rachel said, giving Sam a hug. She smiled weakly and passed him off to the boys, who gave him their own hugs and goodbyes.

"If you need anything..." Finn started to say, but Sam stopped him.

"I know. I really appreciate you being such a good friend to me, Finn. Means the world to me." With that, Sam hugged Finn and picked up his suitcase, heading toward the Greyhound that Toronto bound. He turned back once last time, waving at all of them, before disappearing onto the bus. The four of them stood there silent, watching the bus load with more and more people. Finn caught sight of a tear sliding down Rachel's face, and he slipped his arm around her, pulling her into him.

"I just...I can't believe he's really going," Rachel stammered as she tried to fight back tears. Rachel had always been over emotional, and she hated seeing her friends hurt.

"I know...but it's what's best for him right now," Finn said, wrapping her up in his arms as she sank into his body. Blaine looked at Kurt, who looked equally as hurt by the way the night had unfolded. He took hold of his hand and squeezed it, causing Kurt to look at him and smile weakly, quickly turning his focus back to the bus.

The bus was finally all loaded, with all the passengers' luggage stored underneath. The doors closed and the bus started to pull out of the terminal, causing tears to fall freely from her eyes. As they watched the bus drive away, Rachel took hold of Finn and Kurt's hands, squeezing them hard, and Kurt squeezed Blaine's too. So they stood there, hand in hand, watching their friend slowly disappear. When the bus was finally out of eyesight, Rachel wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and turned to face the group.

"We have to tell Quinn," she said with a stern look on her face.

"Why...?" Finn questioned, unsure of where Rachel was going with this.

"Don't you think she has a right to know that Sam is gone?"

"Uh no...she cheated on him...she doesn't deserve anything."

"I think Rachel is right," Blaine interjected. Kurt nodded in agreement, and once again Finn was being overruled. Why did it matter if Quinn knew or not? It's not like she cared about him, or she wouldn't have hurt him the way she did.

"Fine. But I'm not telling her, I don't want to talk to her. So if you think she should know...you can tell her," Finn said simply, shoving his hands into his pockets.

"Fine, I think I...I can handle that," Rachel said, trying to convince herself that she could in fact handle it.

"Well we can't do it now, it's already 10:30 at night. We should head back," Kurt replied, looking at his watch.

"You're right, are you staying over tonight?" Blaine asked, motioning to Kurt.

"Yeah, I think after the day these two had, they deserve some alone time."

Rachel blushed while Finn laughed nervously, which made Kurt and Blaine laugh.

"Alright c'mon guys, let's get back." Finn led the group back to the car, walking ahead with Rachel.

"Why do you want to tell her so badly?" he whispered to her, wondering why it was so important.

"She might be a cold-hearted bitch, but I think deep down she may have actually cared about him at one point."

So what did you think? Is Rachel going to tell Quinn? How will she react? When will Sam come back? Keep reading to find out! Review, alert, and tweet me at ArmyMonchele! Love you guys xoxoxo
