The loud knocking sound jolted Tina up. She rarely had visitors and now someone was literally pounding her door. It scared her, somehow. She went to the kitchen quickly and grabbed her pepper spray from the cabinet then she tiptoed to the door. She tried to take a peek from the peephole but she barely made it out. She opened the door slowly and surprised when she saw who was standing there.

"Quinn?" she called carefully.

The blonde girl had her head hung low, stared at the floor, and shoulder shaking hard. She let out a quiet sob.

"Quinn, you okay? What happened?" Tina asked again as she pulled the blonde girl in. As she closed the door, she noticed the bag that Quinn holding. "Quinn… please answer me. What happened? Are you going somewhere?"

Quinn finally looked up and Tina's heart broke at the sight in front of her. The blonde girl looked so broken and it scared her.

"Quinn…"

"He knows, Tee… He knows," Quinn finally said, in between sobs. Quinn gulped before she opened her mouth again. "He kicked me out…"

To say Tina was worried was an understatement. She was more than worried. She never saw Quinn like this before.

The said girl was currently curled up in Tina's bed. Ever since she came around two hours ago, she hadn't stop crying. The only thing that Tina knew was Sam kicked Quinn out. She didn't know why Sam did that but she had a vague guess. She was tempted to call Mike, he was Quinn's brother afterall, but she wanted to make sure that Quinn was alright first.

Tina was currently in the kitchen, making some dinner for both of them, even though she wasn't sure if Quinn wanted to eat something in this condition, when she heard the door creaked open.

"Tee?"

Tina turned around and again, her heart broke. Quinn looked terrible, but it wasn't that Tina could say that out loud. "You feeling better?"

Quinn shook her head. She settled herself on the stool then folded her hand and buried her face there. "I fucked up… so bad."

Tina settled herself on the stool across Quinn. "I… seriously, Quinn. You need to tell me what's going on otherwise I couldn't really do anything for you."

Quinn unburied her face and wiped the tears from her face. "Can you call Mike first? I need to talk to him but I think I left my phone there…" she trailed off.

"Where did you—nevermind. I'll call him first, kay?" she scrambled off from the stool and went to grab her phone. "Oh, if you wanna eat or drink anything, just open the fridge."

Tina then went off to make a quick call to Mike. Thankfully, her boyfriend was actually on his way to her place and he was just two blocks away from there. Around five minutes later, Mike emerged to the kitchen and found Quinn there.

"Quinn?" he called as he rushed to his sister's side.

"Do I even need to say?" she said weakly as she collapsed in Mike's arms.

Mike instinctively wrapped his arms around his sister's body, letting her cry there. "Ssh. It's okay, Quinn. It's okay," he soothed her as he rubbed her back.

Quinn pulled back and shook her head. "No, Mike. It's not okay at all… I fucked up big time and I don't think I can fix it."

"What did he say to you and what did you tell him?" he asked.

Quinn took a deep breath. "He asked me who I am and I told him everything. He said that I'm a horrible person, he said I'm selfish, that I'm a liar, and thief… He said I only think about myself, I didn't think about him. I know it was all my fault. But hearing it from him… I just… I don't know, Mike. It's hurts…"

Mike sighed. He knew that it was going to be like this. He almost blurted out an 'I told you so' to Quinn but his sister didn't need his judgment right now. "Did he ask about Mel?"

Quinn snorted. "Well, she was the dead giveaway that I'm not Lucy… so, yeah."

"What did he say?"

"He denied at first, obviously. I mean, who would believe that? But then he keeps asking me things and he finally admitted that we had a daughter together. He also realized that I was indeed the first love he couldn't forget about."

"And he still kicked you out after that? After he knew that you're his first love and you had a daughter together? He's insane!"

"He's totally not insane!" Quinn said, a little bit too quick. "He's sane. Sane enough to kick me out."

"But he loves you, right?"

The blonde girl shook her head. "No. He said he didn't love me…"

"That's rubbish! Quinn, come on! He loves you."

"No, he doesn't. I don't deserve to be loved anyway."

Mike ran a hand on his hair. "Quinn, you know that's not true."

"My biological parents didn't love me enough to keep me. The man that I love basically told me to go and fuck myself. I—"

"Quinn, listen to me," Mike finally interrupted her. He didn't really like it when she talked like that. "You are loved, Quinn. You need a proof? My parents' decision to adopt you, not the other kids at that foster house, is proof enough. And did they abandon you after Claire was born? No. Mom, Dad, Claire, and I love you, Quinn. We love you. We're your family and we love you. I'm sure Tina here loves you too," he said as he glanced at his girlfriend. "Do you know the person who loves you the most? Your daughter. She loves you so much, Quinn. So don't you ever say that you don't deserve to be loved, kay?"

Quinn was full of crying by that time. "I know, I'm sorry…" she said as she let out a sob. "But Sam…"

"I'm still very sure that he loves you, Quinn. He was just… angry and frustrated. You do realize that it was all too much to take in, right?"

Quinn nodded. "But I said I'm sorry… God, I feel awful."

Mike went ahead and hugged Quinn again. "Everything's gonna be fine, Quinn. You need to believe that. Take a day or two, then you'll go to him and talk, okay? Both of you need to talk about this."

Quinn wrapped her arms around Mike's body. "He doesn't even wanna see me anymore. How can I talk to him?"

"He'll come around. I'm sure of that."

"I don't know…"

"You really love him, aren't you?"

"I love him so much… and it hurts."

"If you really love him, and he really loves you, then both of you will find the way."

Two hours later, Quinn was finally calmed down enough. The three of them were currently sitting on the dining room, eating the food that Tina made earlier, though Quinn wasn't really eating. She still wasn't in the mood to do anything. And that was when she realised something. "Where's Mel?"

The Asian guy stopped his movement. "Mom wants to do some grocery and Mel wants to tag along cause she wants ice cream so Mom lets her. They went with Claire."

"Oh…"

"Don't worry about her. She'll be fine."

"I'm not… I just… Will you bring her here tomorrow?"

"You're not going home?"

"I can't risk of bumping into Sam or anybody else that knew Lucy."

"You didn't seem to worry about that before."

"It's different now, Mike."

Mike didn't argue with her, instead he asked, "Anyway, Tina said something about you left your phone somewhere. Where is it exactly?"

"I think I left it at the townhouse. Sam asked me to leave everything that belongs to Lucy: her phone, clothes, everything… I think I left my own phone there too."

"That's a sign that you need to talk with him again, sis. And you're going to talk to him again soon."

"I don't need that phone. I could always buy a new one," she muttered. "Mike, I think I'm moving back to Tallahassee."

"What? Come on, Quinn. You can't be serious. Melrose is going to start school in soon."

"I know but I can't afford living in this town knowing that her dad lives here too."

Mike put down the spoon that he had been holding. "Okay. This is what you're going to do. You're going to stay, either here or home, for now. You're not going anywhere, especially Tallahassee. You need to sort this first with Sam. You can't just run away from your problems."

"Mike, did I told you that he doesn't even wanna talk—"

"Give him some time, Quinn. This is too much for him. His girlfriend was dead; he has a daughter with his girlfriend's twin sister, which is also his first love. Don't you think it is too much?"

"I don't know…"

"Just give him some time. He'll come around. I can assure you," Mike said as he gave a light kiss on Quinn's head. "Everything will be fine."

"I'm worried. Like, really worried. The 20 years I've known her, I've never seen her like this before," Mike said as he made his way to the living room. They were just tucking Quinn in bed. The said girl was too overwhelmed with everything that happened and Mike told her to try sleep it off. At least for now. He slumped his body on the couch and waited his girlfriend to join him there.

Tina settled herself next to him and rested her head on his broad shoulder. "I know. I mean, the worse I saw her was when she told us she was pregnant. I think that was bad enough, but this is even worse than that."

"You know why?" he asked. "Because she's in love with Sam. And that guy, crushed her heart by saying that he doesn't love her."

"Quinn broke his heart too, you know, by lying to him."

"But she was just lying. Everyone lies. He, on the other hand, broke her heart. So bad."

Tina didn't say anything. She knew that there was no use of arguing with Mike on this. He would defend Quinn, no matter how wrong his sister was. And even when Mike knew that Quinn was wrong, he wouldn't put the blame on her.

"I know Quinn is wrong, like really wrong. But Sam broke her heart so bad. Did you remember that time when she said that no one loves her? It's painful much for her that time and now Sam was adding the pain for her," Mike said after a while.

"I couldn't imagine how it feels, you know. When you tell someone that you love them but they said they didn't love you anymore. It must be sucks."

"It's a good thing that I love you so much, huh?" he asked as he rubbed her arm.

Tina titled her head and placed a kiss on his jaw. "I know. And I love you too."

Mike dropped a chaste kiss on her head. "You still okay with us not being married or even engaged even after 10 years together?"

Tina straightened up. "If I'm not okay with that, I would have leave you since you decided to ditch our place in Louisiana to help Quinn in Tallahassee four years ago." She rubbed his cheek with her small hand. "Of course I want to get married and start a family with you, just like what we always want. But for now, I'm fine with what we have, though my mom is kinda freaking out."

"Why is that?"

"She said that we're getting old, almost 30. We need to start building a family cause she really wants to have grandchildren. She even pointed out that when she was 30, she already had two kids," she chuckled. "But I told her that helping Quinn raising Melrose is hard enough and it kinda made me realized that it's not easy to have kids. I don't know if I can be a good mother."

"Oh, come on. You'll be an amazing mom. I know it."

The Asian couple sat there in silence for a while before Mike decided to break it.

"We need to help Quinn."

"But how?"

"I don't know. But maybe… maybe I can talk to Sam?" Mike said. He sounded uncertain with himself.

"Do you even know how to talk to him? You don't even know him," Tina reasoned with him.

"No, I don't know him. But I did meet him once at the hospital and I know where he lives."

"How?"

Tina was full of questions and Mike secretly loved that. "I went to that townhouse a couple of times to help Quinn with things."

"Well… I guess you can try that…" Tina tried to convince herself that it was a great idea. "Do you think talking with Sam really could help Quinn?"

"We need to know what he think about all of this, Tee. And we also need to know how he really feels about Quinn. Also, we need to remind him that they have a daughter for God's sake! Quinn couldn't do this alone, so we need to help her fix this things with Sam."

"Correction: you are going to help her. Not me."

Mike raised an eyebrow. "Why is that?"

"I don't know Sam, okay? And among all of us, beside Quinn, you're the only one who knew about all of this since the very beginning. It only make sense, if you're the only one that could help."

Mike pondered for a minute before he finally nodded his head. "You've got a point there. But I still need your help, and maybe Claire too."

"What can we do?"

"Help me keep Quinn sane. I mean, in this state, she can do stupid things. We don't want that, right?"

"You're right. Maybe we can have Mel to accompany her mom and stay over? We know that Mel is Quinn's weakness and she won't do anything stupid when her daughter is around."

"That could be the best and also the worst idea…"

"Oh, come on! You know that I'm right! How can you say that it could be the worst idea?"

"Quinn did want me to bring Melrose here tomorrow and that little girl could make her feel better for a while. But… God, Mel has Sam's eyes and lips. She looks like both of her parents. She could remind Quinn of Sam and that could be bad."

"So you're saying that you're not going to bring Melrose here tomorrow." It was a statement, not a question.

"No… I'm not saying that," Mike ran a hand through his hair. "I just… I'm afraid Quinn will break down again and that's the last thing we want Mel to witness. Quinn will try to hold it back; she wouldn't want to show it to Mel. But when it becomes too much for her, it can be really bad."

"Well… we wouldn't know if we didn't try, right?"

"I guess so…" Mike sighed. "Well... I need to go."

"Yeah, it's late. And I need to set up this couch so I can sleep tonight," Tina said as she stood up and walked her boyfriend to the front door.

"You can just sleep inside with Quinn, though."

"Nah, that girl needs some privacy right now. I'll be fine with the couch," she assured him.

"If you say so." He opened the door and turned around one last time. "I'll see you tomorrow, babe. Love you," he said as he kissed her lips.

"Love you too."

Hey, guys! First of all, happy late easter! And also, I would like to say a huge THANK YOU for the overwhelming reviews for the previous chapter. It was hard to write but I'm really glad you like it. I write a huge amount of Tike in this chapter. The reasons are: 1) They're my 2nd OTP after Fabrevans. 2) I just need to give Quinn a break. She went through a lot of things, especially in the previous chapter, and we can see how she dealt with it in this one and it's not really good :( I wanna give her a hug. And I'm sorry for the lack of Sam in this chapter but... the next chapter will be from Sam's POV. After all, we need to know what's in his head with all of this crazy things that he just experienced, right?

Overgron: Hey, there! Thanks for reviewing. I'm glad you love this story. It means a lot to me. Things won't be good for our favorite blonde couple, at least for now. But things will get better. I promise! Hope you like this one :)

Chloe: Hello there! Thanks for the review. I'm glad you like the previous chapter and I really hope you like this one too :) Enjoy!

Ashley: Hello there! Thanks for the review. It was indeed sad for them. We've got to see how Quinn dealt with it in this one and also in the next chapters. As for Sam, the next one will be from his POV. Things will get better, but it needs time. This was big for both Sam and Quinn so... Anyway, I love ChordOverstreetmusic. My new favorite thing on Youtube. But I kinda hope that he's going to post more videos soon cause Glee's wrapping up soon too so he would have some free time ;) Hope you like this one too :)

RJRRAA: Hey there! Thanks for reviewing. Sam did ask some things about his daughter in the previous chapter, just not the details yet cause he needs time to process everything, right? I agree with you with Sam took the news so badly. As in the case when he still didn't want her... well, let's just say that he's too angry at that time. We've got to see what he thinks in the next chapter, though. So please anticipate it. In the mean time, hope you'll enjoy this :)

Em: Hello there! Thanks for the review. We've got to see what Sam thinks about everything in the next chapter. And poor Quinn but I agree that she should have told him sooner but it wasn't like she can do that, right? She took all the blame on herself in this chapter. Things will be bad for them but it will get better, I can assure you. In the mean time, I hope you'll enjoy this one :)

Kera: Hey there! Thanks for the review. Yeah, it's finally out and it ended up badly :( Sad. But we need a little drama, right? Things will get better, I promise, but I need to keep it "bad" for some moments before it finally came. I mean, both Sam and Quinn needs time. In the mean time, I hope you'll enjoy this one :)

B2stB2uty: Hello there! Thank you for the review. I hope you'll enjoy this one :)

Ashley (2): Ha! I didn't realise that you're reviewing the previous chapter twice. I understand the need of more Fabrevans, you know. The whole Samcedes thing drives me insane and this came from this girl who haven't watch Glee since the 'New Directions' episode :\ Sorry for the wait though. I was off for a one week vacation and I didn't bring my laptop with me. The wait is over though so enjoy ;)

FabrevansFTW: Hello there! Thank you for the review. I'm glad you like this story. No, it totally didn't offend me. English isn't my first language and grammar is my biggest enemy since the very first time I learned this language. I did proof read everything twice before posting it but you know, sometime it just slipped. But thank you, though, for the critics. It made me want to pay more attention with grammar/spelling :) I think I'm the one who should say thank you, not only to you, but to everyone who read this story. It still has a long journey to come, and I hope you're going to enjoy the rest of it, especially this one :)

Caitlin2009: Hello there! Thanks for the review. Yikes! It's out and it's bad, I know. Things will get better, though. I hope you'll enjoy this one :)

Once again, thank you for everyone who read and review this story. Sorry for the wait. Things went a bit crazy and I took a week off from everything so I can just post this now. As usual, leave me some reviews. Tell me, what do you think of it. Also, whether you like it or hate it. Any questions or critics are fine too. Don't worry, I won't bite. Sam's POV is coming in the next chapter, so keep the reviews coming cause it did encourage me to write faster ;) Thank you again, enjoy this chapter, and I'll see you again really soon! :)
