I own nothing...
"Are you ready?" Quinn asked Santana as they walked down the hall. Santana nodded in response. They were having a sex education class in Glee and Santana felt like she was finally ready to open up about how she felt after talking to Ms. Holliday. The best way any of them knew how to express themselves was through song so that day in Glee Santana and Brittney, along with Ms. Holliday sang Landside. Quinn watched as her friend got the most emotional she had ever been. Sure Santana cried when she was drunk or upset, but that was due to her dramatic personality, but this was real. Sam tightened his grip on her shoulders and Quinn put her head on his shoulder.
After the song ended the two best friends hugged, tears in their eyes. Quinn's eyes were hot too. When they let go Santana looked at Quinn and smiled. Quinn nodded and smiled back.
"Something going on?" Sam asked noticing the looks between them.
"Nothing," Quinn said but Sam knew she was really saying, Nothing I can tell you.

"I can't go out tonight," Quinn told Sam over the phone.
"Okay, something wrong?" Sam asked.
"No," Quinn said, "I just need to be a friend tonight rather then a girlfriend."
"No problem," Sam said understanding. "I'll see you tomorrow. Love you.
"Love you too," And Quinn hung up and went back to her place of sitting next to a sobbing Santana, tissues covering the floor.
"I told her I loved her...(hiccup)...and she said she loved me too...(blew nose)...but that she loved Artie...and she couldn't break up with him." Santana said between sobs.
Quinn put her arm around her and let Santana cry into her shirt which was now wet with her tears. Quinn stroked her hair and told her everything would be okay, like she had done with Stacy when she fell off her bike and hurt her knee. Or when Sam had held her when she thought she was pregnant. It didn't matter how old you were or who were you sometimes you just needed someone to hold you and tell you everything we'll be all right. Quinn began to whisper a song,
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
Santana sat up and looked at her confused, but Quinn continued,
You tell me that it´s evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don´t you know that you can count me out...
Don´t you know it´s gonna be all right
Don´t you know it´s gonna be all right
Santana smiled and joined in
Don´t you know it´s gonna be all right
all right, all right, all right
all right, all right, all right
all right, all right, all right
By this time the two girls were yelling out the lyrics and when they stopped burst into laughter. Quinn hugged her friend and for the first time today Santana actually felt like things were going to be all right. Uh..Trouty Mouth was rubbing off on her too.

"I wrote a song," Rachel told Quinn when the two were in the auditorium working on original songs. Rachel said that the only way to win at Regionals was to do original songs, and Quinn backed her up. So the two were now trying to come up with something for Rachel while the rest of Glee worked on the second group song.
"Really?" Quinn said sitting down on the piano bench.
"I wrote it when Finn and I broke up," Rachel said sitting next to her, "I tried so hard to make us work, but everything seemed to go wrong. He slept with Santana, I made out with Puck. I got inspired and before I knew it I had written a song."
"Lets hear it," Quinn said. Rachel smiled.
"All right," Rachel said and began to sing.
What have I done?
Wish I could I could run...

"Sammy!" Was the first thing Sam heard as he entered his house. A gray haired woman threw herself onto him in a huge hug.
"Grandma," Sam said returning the hug.
"Oh, you look as handsome as ever!" Grandma Margret said putting her hand on Sam's cheek, "But you still got the Evan's mouth I see."
"Thanks Grandma," Sam said blushing.
"So where is this girlfriend I have heard so much about?" Margret asked.
"She will be here soon," Sam said, "She doesn't live down the street anymore."
"I am so excited to see you perform tonight!" Margret told Sam.
"Me too," Sam said, "We wrote our own songs this year..." There was a knock on the door. "That must be Lucy." Sam got up and came back holding the hand of a pretty blond girl.
"Grandma," Sam said, "This is my girlfriend Lucy. You actually might have met before years ago."
"Your frizzy haired little friend?" Margret asked.
"That's me," Quinn said managing to keep the smile on her face.
"Well aren't you pretty," Margret said, "Come sit next to me." Quinn nodded and went over and sat next to Margret on the living room couch, Sam next to her, Scott and Sharon on chairs across from them. Stacy and Stevie were at friends houses. As they made small talk Margret noticed something on Lucy's ring finger.
"Whats this?" Margret asked holding Quinn's hand up.
"Oh, that is the ring Sam gave her when they were ten," Sharon told her. "Its a cute story. Sam begged me to buy the ring he saw at the store to give to Lucy. It was way too big for her, but Sam insisted and said it would fit her one day. Sweetest thing I have ever seen."
"He was right, it fit eventually," Quinn said noticing how embarrassed and red Sam was, "Since then I have never taken it off. There was also this one time when he twisted his..."
"Okay enough talking about me like I am not here," Sam said interrupting her.
"All right," Margret said, "You kids go run off you don't need to sit and try and to entertain me, the performance tonight will be enough."
"See you later Grandma," Sam said and Margret put her finger on her cheek indicating for Sam to kiss it. Sam kissed her cheek and then taking Lucy's hand and saying their goodbyes went out the front door to drive over to Rachel's to get ready.

"I hate that I have to ask her for money," Scott said to his wife in the privacy of their room. His mother was taking a nap so she would be well rested for tonight.
"Getting laid off is nothing to be ashamed of," Sharon said comforting her husband.
"Sharon we are going to loose our house." Scott said sharper then he meant to, "Your salary isn't enough. You weren't even going to work when we moved here. Thank God you did after all."
"How much longer till the bank takes it," Sharon whispered.
"A month," Scott said not looking at her.
"We need to tell Sam." Sharon said.
"Lets give him tonight," Scott said finally looking at her, "Just let him have tonight." Sharon nodded and the tears she was holding in these past months fell. Scott came up next to her and held her as she softly cried. She had hoped they would somehow get through this without anyone knowing, but that was naïve of her.
Meanwhile Sam was having a blast getting ready at Rachel's house. Santana and Brittney kept throwing pillows around Rachel's room driving her crazy which was hilarious to watch. Lucy looked so pretty in blue, and at this moment he felt like he was at the top of the world.

Rachel looked back and smiled as Brittney and Quinn took their places behind her to sing back up. As she sang she looked in the wings and locked eyes with Finn who half smiled when she turned away. The song was about him, and he liked that. Puck came up behind him not smiling at all. He was starting to really like Rachel, and Puck thought the feelings were returned, but here she was singing a song about another guy. Puck walked away to find Sam. He needed to hear a bad joke to perk him up before he went on.
The Evans Family stood up and clapped loudly for the New Directions. Stacy kept on yelling, "That's my brother!" At the top of her lungs. Sam and Lucy hugged onstage as they listened to the cheers. Sharon had her hand on her heart. She never saw Sam smile like he did when he was singing, or when he was with Lucy. After the performance Lucy and Sam came up to them and were greeted by mass hugs.
"Oh you were wonderful Sammy!" Grandma Margret said, "You too Lucy." Quinn knelled down and Stacy ran into her arms. Quinn swung her around before placing her back on the floor. Stevie almost knocked her over when he hugged her as Stevie always did. Sharon hugged her next, a big motherly hug that made Quinn always feel loved. Scott lifted her off the ground with this big bear hug. Margret hugged her too, kissing her cheek and told her how pretty she was. Sam smiled at her and kissed her quickly before the two headed over to the rest of the New Directions to celebrate their victory.
Judy Fabray sat in the back. She had never come to a performance. Even when she heard Quinnie had a big solo. She didn't know why she came this time. Russel had forbid her from seeing Quinn, but she needed to see her, even from afar. Mr. Lopez had called her telling her that Quinn was safe and could stay with them as long as she wanted. Mr. Lopez knew Russel had kicked Quinn out and was not obviously not happy with the Fabray's, but she appreciated his call. Judy watched as her daughter was hugged by the entire Evans family. Judy tried not to be jealous when Sharon Evans hugged her daughter. It was so motherly and welcoming, and Judy could tell Quinn loved it. Quinn lit up when she was around Samuel and his family. Happy. Happy in a way she never was until Samuel came back into her life. Sharon Evans caught her eye. Judy froze. She didn't want to be found out. Seeming to sense her distress Sharon just nodded and smiled at her. Judy took a deep breath and keeping her head high snuck out of the theater and it was as if she was never there.
Not to Sharon though, Sharon would remember and one day she would tell Lucy. One day when Lucy really needed to hear it she would tell her that her mother came to see her, but for now she would keep Judy's secret.

Margret Evans sat outside looking up at the stars when Sam found her. She was playing with the ring on her finger. She must have heard Sam because she started talking.
"I knew your Grandfather since we were little kids," Margret said still looking at the sky, "I was too shy to talk to him. He was so handsome."
"Grandpa Samuel," Sam said sitting next to her.
"Its a shame you never met him," Margret said, "You would have liked your Grandfather. You look like him you know."
"I do?" Sam said.
"Same eyes, same mouth, the Evans curse on all the men in the family," Margret said studying her grandson. "Same hair, before you dyed it." Sam laughed. "I couldn't bring myself to talk to him, but one day I was walking home and some boys came and made fun of me and my friends. Samuel saw and stood up for us. The boys backed right off. He asked me if I was okay and I actually looked behind me to see if he was talking to me. I said I was fine and he offered to walk me home. The rest is history."
"Its a nice story," Sam said.
"He gave me this," Margret said taking off her engagement ring and handing it to Sam, "Right before he left to go to fight in World War Two. He enlisted as soon as he was able in 1943, only 17. Broke my heart watching him leave, but he came back. Just like you did with your Lucy."
"Its beautiful," Sam said and handed his grandmother back the ring.
"That has been in the Evan's family for more then a hundred years," She told Sam, "Scott being the stubborn boy he is insisted on getting a new ring for Sharon, but this is a special ring. The ones who have to leave always come back, back to the women that wear this. It was the same with your great grandparents too." Sam smiled and Margret kissed his cheek. "Your a good boy Sammy. You make that pretty girl very happy."
A lot more original stuff here. So Scott is having money problems and needs help... Do you like Grandma Margret?
Revolution is not the best song choice for that part, but it has the verse Don't you know its gonna beall right, and that it what Santana needed to hear.
If anyone has a cool picture of an antique engagement ring by all means send it to me. I am trying to get a picture in my head of what it might look like so anything would help.
Thanks for reading and reviewing! You rock and keep them coming please I want to know what you think!
