Chapter 5

"Alright, Nationals are next week guys! But you all deserve a break from the hard work you've done. So, today we are just going to sing for fun. Who wants to start us off?" Mr. Shue smiled at the members of the glee club.

"Mr. Shue," Sam said raising his hand. "I have a song."

"Great." Mr. Shue nodded his head and motioned for Sam to come up.

Sam turned to face the glee club and picked up a guitar that was next to the piano. He pulled the guitar strap around his neck and strummed a few chords. "Soo, this song has always been a favorite. Hope you like it."

Sam started and looked up at Finn.

"We'll do it all, everything, on our own. We don't need, anything, or anyone. If I lay here, if I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?"

Sam kept eye contact with Finn. Rachel smiled at Sam before turning her head in Finn's direction with a questionable look on her face.

"I don't quite know, how to say how I feel. Those three words are said too much, they're not enough. If I lay here, if I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world? Forget what we're told, before we get too old, show me a garden that's bursting into life."

Finn bit his lip and glanced over at the rest of the glee club. Is Sam staring at me? No one seemed to notice, but Finn shook his head.

"Let's waste time, chasing cars, around our heads. I need your grace, to remind me to find my own. If I lay here, if I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world? Forget what we're told, before we get too old. Show me a garden that's bursting into life. All that I am, all that I ever was, is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see. I don't know where, confused about how as well, just know that these things will never change for us at all. If I lay here, if I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world? Let's waste time, chasing cars, around our heads."

Sam finished and the whole room started clapping.

"Great job Sam," Mr. Shue said. "Awesome."

Sam smiled and looked back over to Finn who frowned. "I gotta get out of here," Finn said, standing up and walking out of the classroom. Everyone just stared at each other in confusion and watched Finn storm out. Sam bowed his head and stared at the floor.

"What's his problem?" Artie asked.

"Probably jealous that trouty mouth over there just sang that song for me," Santana replied filing her nails.

"Girl you are crazy," Mercedes said laughing.

"I'll go talk to him," Kurt said rolling his eyes and grabbing his bag.

"No," Rachel said, stopping him. "I'll go." She stood up and left the room.

Finn was sitting down in the hallway by his locker. Rachel saw him and sat down next to him. "I know," she said softly.

"Know what?" Finn asked.

"Why you left the room."

"Rachel, I gotta tell you something."

"It's Sam, I know."

Finn looked at Rachel. "But how-"

Rachel cut him off. "I saw it in his eyes. That song was for you Finn. Now I don't know what happened between you two but obviously something did. And I don't need the details or anything but I want you to know that I'm here for you."

"I broke up with Quinn after the funeral," Finn blurted.

"Oh," Rachel exclaimed. "I see, but what does that have to do with Sam?"

"Sam came over that night and uh we kinda kissed."

Rachel put a hand on Finns. "Do you like him?"

"I don't know. I mean maybe? God I'm just so confused." A small tear ran down Finns cheek and he hastily wiped it away.

"It's okay Finn. No one's going to judge you- I mean look at Kurt." Finn raised his eyebrows. "Forget about Karofsky, just hear me out. It will be fine."

Finn smiled, "Thanks Rachel, you always seem to know how to make me feel better."

"I love you Finn and I'd do anything for you, even if that means letting you go."

"So now what?" Finn asked.

"We need to go back in there and you need to let Sam know how you really feel."

"What?"

"Sing to him," Rachel said standing up and lending a hand out to Finn, helping him stand up. "And I know just the song."

So, I have 2 more chapters already lined up...I've been busy but they should be up soon! Thanks for all the great reviews!
