I own nothing…
This chapter has a lot of song lyrics, just a warning.
Quinn found Sam in the choir room. She stood in the door way for a while listening to him sing Jar of Hearts. That was a slap in the face more than anything, but singing was a good way to get feelings out.
…ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
Quinn must have dazed out for a minute because Sam was singing the chorus now, which hurt. She knew this was about her.
And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
Taking a deep breath Quinn walked into the classroom and began to sing with him. At first Sam was startled, but he kept singing.
It took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
'Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back
They sang out the rest of the song together. Sam was playing the guitar, and Quinn was standing in front of him.
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
Who do you think you are?
Sam strummed the last note on the guitar. The air was awkward and Sam rubbed the back of his neck not quite knowing what to do.
"We do sound awesome together," Quinn said breaking the silence, "But I got something I want to sing too." Quinn walked over to where the interments were and picked up a guitar. She dragged a stool over so she was sitting next to Sam.
I'm so glad you made time to see me.
How's life? Tell me how's your family.
I haven't seen them in a while.
You've been good, busier than ever,
We small talk, work and the weather,
Your guard is up and I know why.
Because the last time you saw me
Is still burned in the back of your mind.
You gave me roses and I left them there to die.
Sam shook his head when he realized what song she was singing, "I can't believe you are actually singing this song." Sam said and Quinn just grinned and continued to sing. Sam sighed and then and playing with her.
So this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying, "I'm sorry for that night,"
And I go back to December all the time.
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you.
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine.
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right.
I go back to December all the time.
Someone else walked past the choir room when she heard someone singing a song by her favorite artiest. Angie looked into the classroom and saw her crush and Quinn singing together. Quinn obviously wanted Sam back. She was practically begging him by singing this song. Angie narrowed her eyes. This called for some desperate measures, Quinn lost him, and Angie would make sure she didn't get Sam back.
These days I haven't been sleeping,
Staying up, playing back myself leavin'.
When your birthday passed and I didn't call.
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times,
I watched you laughing from the passenger side.
Realized that I loved you in the fall.
And then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was "Goodbye".
Sam and Quinn were now in front of the Glee Club both playing the guitar as Quinn sang and Sam jumped in on the chorus. The whole club sat in awe as Quinn sang such a personal song to Sam in front of everyone, and no one had ever heard her play before. Sam was really opening her up and Quinn didn't seem as afraid to express how she felt anymore.
So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying, "I'm sorry for that night."
And I go back to December all the time.
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine.
I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time.
December had been a good month for them. Their relationship had never been so stable. Quinn was wearing the promise ring and letting Sam kiss her in public. A month later she broke his heart. Now she was doing anything to get it back. Quinn wasn't going to let them turn out to be these two sad songs, but it helped to sing them. Get every bad emotion out so only good ones can remain.
I miss your tanned skin, your sweet smile,
So good to me, so right
And how you held me in your arms that September night -
The first time you ever saw me cry.
Puck put his arm around Rachel and the two grinned at each other. Mike and Tina snuggled closer, and Santana and Brittney looked at each other. Finn kept alternating from looking at Quinn and Rachel.
Maybe this is wishful thinking,
Probably mindless dreaming,
But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right.
I'd go back in time and change it but I can't.
So if the chain is on your door I understand.
Sam and Quinn sang the chorus only looking at each other. They sang the last verse softly.
I go back to December all the time.
The whole club began to clap and Sam took Quinn's hand and they bowed. Sam put his arm around her and kissed her head like he had at Regionals.
"Wow," Mr. Schue said, "That was amazing, Quinn you have come a long way with the guitar, I am impressed. This actually gave me some inspiration. I can't believe I am going to say this but your assignment for this week is to sing a Taylor Swift song best describing how you are feeling right now. Don't be afraid to be honest."
"Wait what?" Puck said and put his hands up, "No, no I am not singing Swifty."
"Fine, anyone who wants to," Mr. Schue said knowing that making the boys sing a Swift song might be a little much. Rachel however was bouncing around in her seat and Puck rolled his eyes.
SE
Santana went first singing Haunted and rocked it. No one really knew who she was singing too, maybe she was singing to herself. She seemed to be struggling with herself more than anything. Quinn made a note to talk to her later. That was the other relationship she wanted back.
You could tell Puck was nervous when it was Rachel's turn. Who knows what song she would sing? Sam and Quinn bet it was going to be Love Story or Enchanted. You know, one of the really cheesy Swift songs. They should have known better.
He is sensible and so incredible
And all my single friends are jealous
He says everything I need to hear and it's like
I couldn't ask for anything better
Rachel was glancing over at Finn and Quinn could tell Puck didn't like it. Well he had never heard this song before.
He opens up my door and I get into his car
And he says, you look beautiful tonight
And I feel perfectly fine
Rachel pretended to open a door, and patted her face when she sang beautiful. Rachel grinned when she got to the chorus and went and sang in front of Puck letting him know who she loved, and who this song was really for. Quinn was happy for them, just wished she and Sam could be like that again.
But I've been screamin' and fightin'
And kissin' in the rain
And it's two a.m. and I'm cursin' your name
You're so in love that you act insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breakin' down and comin' undone
It's a roller-coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you
Puck seemed to get it now because he was smiling in a way none of them had ever seen before and clapping along with the song. Sam and Quinn looked at each other big grins on their faces. Rachel stood up straight with her hands behind her back and began to sing about the "Sensible Boy" and then went back into "Bad Boy" as she danced and sang around the classroom. Quinn smiled at Puck's face because it occurred to her that no one had ever sung to him before, not like this. He had sung for Rachel and herself, but no one had for him. Finn was frowning the entire time because this was basically a call out to how much more she liked Puck then him.
She found her way back to Puck and she ended with…
…and that's the way I loved you
I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I love you.
Rachel had changed the last verse to say I love you rather then I loved you. Puck's eyes went wide and Rachel smiled and sat down next to him. Sam pulled Quinn close to him. Quinn glanced back at Finn who was looking really down, like all his hope was lost. Quinn turned away before Finn caught her looking at him. She didn't want to encourage him, but she felt bad for him. Finn had let them go, and now had to watch them be in love with other people.
"That was pretty intense class," Sam said after school as he and Quinn walked to his car.
"Sam?" Quinn said.
"Yeah?" Sam said searching for his keys.
"I love you," Quinn said and Sam dropped his keys. "I am not hiding behind a song anymore. I might not have realized how much I loved you until I lost you, but I do. More than I have loved anyone." Sam didn't say anything for a long time and Quinn got nervous. Should she not have said anything? Well that was the last time she was listening to Rachel and Mercedes.
"Iloveyoutoo," Sam said so fast he almost made it one word. Quinn laughed and Sam pulled her into a hug and rested his cheek on her head. Rachel and Puck who were watching a couple cars over knocked knuckles. Sam and Quinn broke apart. Sam leaned his head down and rubbed their noses together before opening the door for her.
Did you like it?
Sorry about all the lyrics and some of them are cut off. Back to December is the most overused song with the couple, hence Sam's reaction. They have never sung it together I don't think.
I was listening to it and on the chorus there is a male voice singing back up and I wanted to show her progress with the guitar.
It wasn't much of a chapter, but they said "I love you." I am in a big Puckleberry phase right now so I added them in. What is Angie up to?
I don't know what to do about Finn, just leave him on the sidelines.
