The Love Triangle…Or Is It A Square
Chapter 6:
Keep reviewing anything you feel is necessary…like the 4th character who is going to be brought in very very soon! I will try and update as regularly as I can! Down to the nitty gritty in this chapter and is hopefully perceived as 'emotional'…Tell me guys what you think :D
Rory felt as if he had been stabbed in the chest and then as he fell he had been impaled on a spike. How could Sam do this to him? How? What was he going to do? All Rory knew was he needed to face Sam now, and now is exactly when he confronted Sam instead of hiding away in the shadows wondering what if? He knocked softly on the door. No answer. He knocked again, this time a little more confident as he began to feel the anger boiling up inside of him. Still no answer. Rory was so angry and he couldn't control himself any longer, he barged in the door with a look of thunder on his usually mild face. He startled the passionate pair as they looked at him in shock and then Sam's face quickly went to guilt.
"Rory, th-this isn't, it isn't what you think, I promise?" Sam stammered.
"So what is it Sam? I thought you loved me?" Rory now begin to feel his lower lip tremble.
"I do Rors." Sam went over to give him a hug but Rory swiftly moved away. "Rors he was just comforting me because I thought you were ashamed to be with me…I felt used, but I understand now, I understand that I made a mistake and I love you, this will never happen again!" Sam was crying freely, not in sadness but because he realised he had broken someone to pieces, shattered them forever. The usual blue twinkle in Rory's eye had disappeared and was replaced by emptiness, a blue pit of despair and anguish that Sam had caused.
"You may be sorry, but sorry-" Rory swallowed. "Sorry is just a word and what you've done to me is make a fool out of me, and that Sam Evans is truly unforgivable." The word unforgivable tipped Sam over the edge he was crying and whimpering with tears falling down his face, he was frozen and couldn't move. His crying was loud and he knew there was no way to fix what he had just done to Rory. A single tear slipped escaped Rory's pool of darkness as he turned and walked out of the room almost like a zombie. But he had remained strong throughout and as he made his way to the door, he could hear Sam rushing down the stairs calling him.
"Rory, Rory PLEASE WAIT!" Sam puffed.
"What do you want Sam?" Rory asked coldly.
"I want one more chance, please, I can make this right." Sam was pleading.
"Sam, I gave you a chance before, how many chances do you need. You don't deserve another chance for making me look like the mug. I would've never done anything like this to you." Rory said even colder than before with a look of hate but also fear and anguish all rolled into one. He was brave, but also so upset, after he loved Sam so much.
"Rory, I-I-I love you, he-he-he seduced me, I was w-w-weak. Pleeease." Sam said between sobs.
"I'm sorry Sam, but the damage has already been done. Don't text me, call me or even speak to me, you've ruined me Sam Evans. I should go." With that Rory walked out with Sam in a heap on the floor in tears, the position where Sam would stay the whole night hoping this was a bad dream, hoping Rory was coming back and it was all just a big joke. But he knew that's not life. In life there are no second chances. They were never going to speak again. This hurt Sam the most. The boy he had befriended when he first came to McKinley high school, the first boy he ever fell in love with. This was it. Sam stayed at Finn's house that night because he couldn't bring himself to move from the spot where he was told he could have no second chances. Sam felt as if his life was over…
OOOO
Rory entered the Pierce's home and slammed the door shut, he didn't care in waking up the family. The worst they could do was have a go at him, but he knew he wouldn't care for it. Or they would send him back to Ireland, he wouldn't mind that either as he could get away from his life which had just been ripped apart in the space of 2 and a bit hours. Rory walked upstairs slowly. The time was now 12:04 in the morning and Rory was definitely fatigued. He reached his room and shut the door quickly before slumping on his bed and only then he felt safe, felt safe enough to cry without being judged by anyone in the surrounding world. His sanctuary if you wish. He sobbed, sobbed and sobbed himself to sleep. His dreams involved many things. Backstabbing, Ireland and the inevitable Sam. He woke up 4 times trying to get his newly ex out of his mind, to start afresh, but was making hard work of it.
Rory woke in the morning (well I say morning, but it was by now afternoon). Lucky it was a weekend so Rory could spend time on his own, sitting, contemplating. He had passed on breakfast that morning and found a way to lock his door so he could keep his thoughts to himself. All his emotions had been drained, it hurt now to cry any more tears, tomorrow he knew he would have to face the world also…face the world by himself. It was not realised by Rory that Brittany, the supposed dumb blonde dancing cheerio of New Directions had found a way into Rory's room. Rory loved Brittany like a sister and cared for her, but he just wasn't in the mood to talk to her right now, he was angry and short tempered not to mention drained.
"Rory, what's up? Usually by now you're spouting rainbows from your hat and dancing to magical Irish tunes and giving me four leaf clovers, well that's in my head but it's probably what you do normally, Lord Tubbington agrees." Brittany said bluntly.
"Brittany please leave me alone, I just want to be by myself if that's okay." Rory sniffed.
"But why Rory Leprechaun? You haven't been out of this room for a very long time. I've had to cover for you at breakfast by saying you were clover picking." Brittany again said as concerned for Rory as any 6 year old could be.
"It's a long story, I don't want to bore you." Again Rory sniffed.
"It won't what's it about?" Brittany went over and put her arms around Rory.
"It's about Sam Evans." Rory looked her in the eyes, his magical spark still not there.
"You like him don't you?" Brittany asked getting excited.
"Brittany, Sam and I have dated for the last month and last night I caught him cheating on me, so I told him it was over and there was a lot of crying from him and then me when I came home last night and now I feel as if I can't cry anymore, what do I do, I can't face the school tomorrow by myself." Rory trembled.
"Rory, shush. Stop worrying. Now, firstly, I will be there for you tomorrow and so will all the glee club. They don't have to know if you don't want them to and I will help you the whole way. As for Sam, it's his loss and your gain. There are plenty of hot gay guys around, like my gaydar almost explodes when I'm walking past like the hottest boys in school." Brittany paused and smiled. " You go in tomorrow with your head held high and you continue to smile because you're great Rory and if you see Sam, screw him. Today your life begins. Maybe to completely get your feelings out, you could sing him a song in glee club?" Brittany suggested.
"That's a really good idea. Thanks Brittany you're a true friend and I love you, and you're the best friend in the world and I'm here for you if ever you need it." Rory wiped his eyes and stood up and hugged her. They pulled apart and both smiled at each other.
"Oh and if you need help picking a song, I'm your gal, by the way, who was Sam cheating with?" Brittany asked innocently.
"Finn, why?" Rory asked.
"No reason, although it probably would've been hot." Brittany grinned.
"What are you planning?" Rory asked smiling also.
"Nothing." She smiled even wider. "And next time Rory, instead of keeping your sexual behaviour which was so obvious by the way, just tell me, I won't judge. Besties for life." She smiled and kissed Rory on the cheek. She left the room.
Brittany, the dumb blonde cheerleader who was as smart as a brick just helped Rory. She had come up with such a good solution and she was so wise. Maybe she's not so dumb after all Rory thought. But the thought suddenly faded as the thought of school burst into his mind. Brittany had brought the spark back for moments there. Rory knew tomorrow that there would be fireworks. He spent the rest of his day preparing his song for glee club tomorrow, something he had in store, that was something was definitely going to be explosive. He fell asleep early that night as he was so tired from the night before, his head hit the pillow and he was out like a lamp dreaming about how his performance would go tomorrow in glee club.
OOOO
Rory arrived at school normal time with Brittany, hoping that when he arrived at his locker Sam wouldn't be there waiting for him. Luckily for him, Sam wasn't there. Maybe Sam got the message this time. But nope, there he was walking quickly down the corridor trying to catch Rory, but to no avail as Rory hurriedly slipped away from the ever approaching ex. For felt all these emotions come flooding back to him, he told himself he wouldn't get upset at seeing Sam, but he couldn't help it that was until he turned the corner. It was unlucky for Rory as when he turned the corner, he walked into an unsuspecting Finn Hudson.
"Oh sorry." Finn said not realising he had bumped into Rory of all people.
"Sorry for what, bumping into me or kissing my boyfriend." Rory asked angrily, this was when Finn realised who he was talking to.
"Rory, look it's quite obvious how Sam didn't actually care for you as he seemed to want to kiss me and during our threesome he definitely had one to one with me. Now go back to your little hole in Ireland or wherever you came from because Sam is mine. You hear me!" Finns' voice raised slightly during the last part, hoping to intimidate and hurt Rory, but Rory stood there, anger and hate boiling inside him.
"Do you know what Finn? I don't give a shit what you've got to say. Maybe the school would like to know one of the jocks is a little queer, I'm sure that will do wonders for your reputation you care so much about. Oh, and Rachel, what about her? I'm sure she would love to hear this news. So, stop trying to play the big dog and go get lost which I'm sure you do most of the time and you're as thick as two shits." A smirk pulled onto Rory's face. "Now go suck on them apples and try and think of a new plan to get to me, because I'm not budging and you're going to get what's coming to you." Rory walked off with slight swag. Finn looked completely shell shocked. Never had anybody treated him like the way he had just been treated and he was definitely not happy. He enjoyed pushing Rory to his limits, but maybe, oh so maybe he may not push too hard next time because Rory was angry, angrier than he had ever been before and nobody actually knew Rory's other side. But Finn wasn't one to back off. He had never backed down from anyone and he sure as hell wasn't going to back down to a leprechaun. Finn walked off wondering what he was going to do next, and what Rory was going to do next. But where was Sam in this tug-of-war? Finn certainly knew he hadn't won him yet, but he knew he was much closer than he had ever been before.
OOOO
Rory's day had gone fairly smoothly. He hadn't yet bumped into Sam or Finn (again), but he knew his showdown was coming at glee. He had eaten lunch with Brittany and Santana, much to Santana's dislike. The final bell went to signal the end of the day and for Rory, the beginning of glee. Rory walked in as normal to find Sam already sitting there. Sam got up to say hello to Rory, but Rory walked passed him. Once everyone was seated Mr Schuester arrived with an announcement. Sam was still looking at Rory, mouthing something, but Rory was looking onwards knowing that if he looked at Sam, his strong outer shell would be penetrated.
"Hey guys, today we have two performances, one from Sam who's up next and one from a Rory Flanagan who apparently has something special in store for us. Sam take centre stage." Sam walked up and looked back towards the glee club.
"Hi, erm this song is to somebody who I love so much and miss them dearly and I just want to say how sorry I am. They know who they are." Sam looked at Rory, but Rory looked away, he knew he was going to have to stay strong.
The music began to play behind Sam as he started plucking the strings on his guitar, it was a song Rory had never heard before, country.
I'm sorry, so sorry
That I was such a fool
I didn't know
Love could be so cruel
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Uh oh
Oh, yes
Sam started playing harder as the song hit to chorus, trying not to make eye contact with Rory, who still wasn't paying attention to Sam and his grovelling attempt.
You tell me mistakes
Are part of being young
But that don't right
The wrong that's been done
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
So sorry, So sorry
Please accept my apology
But love is blind
And I was to blind to see
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Uh oh
Oh, yes
You tell me mistakes
Are part of being young
But that don't right
The wrong that's been done
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Uh-oh
Oh, yes
I'm sorry, so sorry
Please accept my apology
But love was blind
And I was too blind to see
Sorry
As the song finished, Sam stole a glance at Rory, who had obviously listened to the message of the song and their eyes met. Rory still hadn't forgiven him and he knew it, a single teat slipped down Sam's face as he returned to his seat. The whole glee club gave him a standing ovation, all except Rory, the one he wanted to impress.
"Wow Sam, that was so emotional." Mr Schuester said as Sam received all these pats on the back. "Next up Rory." The glee club clapped Rory as he got up to take the stage.
"This is a mix up of two of my favourite songs that express my emotions clearly. I want to thank Brittany for helping me and giving me this idea and letting me express my emotions in a good way. The message is, don't let anybody make you feel so small and worthless, or even useless, because everybody deserved to have time in the sun and some people won't let you have it." Rory looked straight at Finn for the last part as he picked up the microphone. He nodded to the players behind him to start.
Oh, How about a round of applause, Yeah
A standing ovation
Oh, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
You look so dumb right now
Standing outside my house
Trying to apologize
You're so ugly when you cry
Please, just cut it out
Don't tell me you're sorry 'cause you're not
Baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught
He looked to Finn, then Sam and then away again as he tried to keep his composure during the song.
Then the song changed.
And you tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say...
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
He reverted back to the other song when it came back around to the verse.
Oh, And the award for
The best liar goes to you (goes to you)
For making me believe (that you)
That you could be faithful to me
Let's hear your speech, Oh
The song changed yet again as Rory began to get more confident as he put more passion into the song, realizing that he was making both Finn and Sam feel like shit for what they had done.
I loved you with a fire red-
Now it's turning blue, and you say...
"Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid...
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
How about a round of applause
A standing ovation
But you put on quite a show
Really had me going
Now it's time to go
Curtain's finally closing
That was quite a show
Very entertaining
But it's over now (but it's over now)
Go on and take a bow
Rory looked dead into Sam's eyes for the final words of his mash up.
I'm holding on your rope, got me ten feet of the ground.
The song stopped and everybody went over and hugged Rory, except the pair who had caused it all. Rory came crashing down to earth and his emotions came into play. He started crying freely and pushed passed the group hugging him. He needed to be alone and that's exactly where he went. He ran out of the choir room with his eyes full of tears. How was Sam going to fix this? He didn't want Finn, he wanted Rory, but he needed to find a way of them getting back together, or even being friends…but how?
So guys, that was chapter 6. Hope you enjoyed it. A lot more emotional chapter! What did the last line of that song mean? What did you think of the mash-up? Was Rory portrayed well in this chapter? What should Sam do now? How is Finn going to react? All in the next chapter. Give me some suggestions on the 4th character to make it a square still. Anything you believe can help, say it, it will end up you enjoying my stories more! The songs were Brenda Lee - I'm sorry and the mash up was of Apologise by One Republic and Take A Bow by Rihanna. Thanks for reading!
