Quinn woke up the next morning with a smile on her face. She didn't have a single bad dream last night; all her bad thoughts about Puck and her parents were all washed away by her good thoughts about the man, whose lap her head was currently on.

"Sleep well?" Sam asked with a smile on his face, he watched Quinn sleep all night long, and he had to admit it wasn't boring one bit. It was actually much more better then watching the lake all night. In his head Sam knew that he had let this go too far, he should've never have kissed her but he just couldn't help himself. She surely didn't mean much of it, she was sad and she wanted to feel wanted and that's why she kissed him. He doubted that she had any feelings for someone like him, but his feelings were real. Sam knew that he had to end this, today; he couldn't keep leading her on. He was a union soldier, she was a southern girl, and they couldn't be together. Sam's heart was telling him one thing and his head was telling him something totally different; Sam was going to end it today, he had to.

Quinn turned her head in his lap and looked up at his handsome face, she smiled. "Yea," she simply replied, lifting her hand and putting it on his cheek. She felt Sam shy away and she knitted her eyebrows, clearly confused. "What's wrong?"

Sam sighed, ignoring her question "I should get you home Quinn, if you're here when my captain wakes up, he's going to ask questions and expect answers that we can't give him," Sam saw her heartbroken expression, but she reluctantly nodded .

"When will I see you again?" Quinn wanted to see him again, she didn't want this to be a onetime thing; she liked him, a lot.

Sam sighed, he didn't know what he should tell her, but knew that she had to get back home before the others woke up. "Let's go, the others will wake up soon, we'll talk about this on the way."

The ride to Quinn's house was quiet and uneventful, she didn't like it. The only talking they did was that when she would tell him the directions to her house. Quinn didn't know why Sam was acting like this; everything seemed so perfect last night. But this morning he was starting to act weird, he barely even touched her, heck he wouldn't even look her in the eye. "Sam, stop."

Sam pulled the horse to a halt, "why? Is everything ok?" Sam turned around to look at her, she carefully climbed down and he followed.

"You tell me," Quinn said grabbing his face so he had to look her in the eye, "I thought everything was perfect after last night, everything you said about a happy life, I finally thought I was going to have one, but you're acting weird, and I want to know why," Quinn didn't expect herself to sound so demanding but she really wanted and answer and he had to give it to her.

"Look Quinn, I really like you," Sam said looking at her shining eyes as she smiled brightly, he hated himself at that moment right there

"I really like you too," Quinn said with a huge smile on her face, she grabbed his face and crashed her lips to his. Sam immediately reciprocated, even though he knew he shouldn't, he pulled her closer to him continuing to kiss her with as much passion they had.

Quinn smiled against his lips and flung her arms around his neck tightly, soon she wrapped her legs around his waist as they struggled to get closer. Sam was holding but the waist and was kissing her fervently. Sam couldn't find himself to stop, he knew he had to, but his mind was lost in the sweet taste of Quinn's lips. Quinn quickly unbuttoned his coat flung it to the forest ground; she started on his shirt when she felt Sam pull away.

"No," Sam simply said putting her down and putting his blue army coat back on, refusing to meet her eyes.

"What?" Quinn said confused and surprised, she didn't expect him to stop her, she felt so unwanted, "why?"

"We have to get to your house Quinn, we'll talk when we get there," he said climbing back on the horse and helping her up after he got on. He began to ride toward the direction she told him; neither of them said a word.

When they got to Quinn's house Sam gaped at the giant house in front of them. He didn't know she was this rich, his heart was crushed a little more. Quinn climbed down and pulled him down with her, she was the first on to break the silence.

"So, we're here now, you can come in if you want to, my parents are going to brunch at city hall so we'll be alone," Quinn smiled at him but he didn't meet her smile.

Sam sighed; he had to end it right now. "Look Quinn, we can't do this anymore," Sam simply stated looking anywhere but her.

"What do you mean?" she didn't know what he was talking about, she had a feeling but she didn't want to think about that.

"This," Sam said gesturing toward them, "we can't do this anymore, we can't be together Quinn."

Quinn felt tears in her eyes, "what do you mean? Of course we can, we can be together!" Quinn didn't want to let go of him, he was the only guy who made her feel the way she felt when she was with him; there were no words.

Sam shook his head, "don't you get it Quinn? You're a rich southern girl, I'm a 'Yankee' soldier, we can't be together, I have to go fight to stay alive while you're going to marry one of those rich men who come to those parties you told me about. That's how it's supposed to be, we are not supposed to be together and we can't be." Sam looked at her; she looked like she was going to cry.

"So that's it? We shouldn't be together, that's why we can't? Was anything that happened between us even real? How could you lead me on like that?" Quinn felt like hitting him and she felt him holding on to him so he couldn't leave her, but she didn't do either.

"It was Quinn, I was real, I tried not to lead you on but I can't be with you Quinn. You need to marry Noah Puckerman, or one of those other guys. You'll have beautiful babies, I'm sure and you'll have a wonderful life with whoever you marry. Don't make this more difficult than it needs to be."

Quinn slapped him across the face, crying hard now, "how dare you say that to me! I thought you were different, but you're just like them all, they all leave!"

"Quinn-" Sam said trying to calm her, he reached out towards her but she shied away.

"I thought you wanted me," Quinn said, her cheeks were tear-stained.

Sam sighed, "look Quinn, I have to go, but promise me you'll take care," Sam said kissing her on the forehead, and getting on his horse and steering it towards camp, he turned back to her one more time. "You deserve the world Quinn, and I can't give that to you, I hope one day you can find it in your heart to forgive me." And with that he rode off towards the military camp, but he felt like he had left his heart behind.

Quinn watched him leave, and when she was certain that he wasn't coming back, she burst in to tears and curled up on the ground. Sam Evans had taken her heart with him.
