Part 9

Will stands with his students waiting for news from Jack about Sam's condition. The place is mostly quiet except for the unstoppable water flowing trough the caves. Jack walks up to them and speaks to Will.

Jack: He's fine, but I wouldn't leave him alone for the few days.

Will: Of course, thank you, Jack.

Sugar: Can we see him?

Jack: Yeah.

Jack walks away and the girls start walking to see how Sam is.

Rachel: Wait, we need a plan here.

Lauren: For what exactly?

Rachel: So he won't even think about killing himself. Okay first, Lauren, you go in all pissed and angry at his decision then I go in with some sympathy yet resentment, Sugar then you come and be glad to see him, lastly Mr. Schue you walk in and be a little angry then try to reason with him and then start crying letting him know that he is like a son to you, and you would not know what to do without him.

The three stare at each other confused and a little dazed. Lauren shakes it off and turns around to see Sam. Then Will follows her example.

Sugar: I was gonna do that anyway.

Rachel rolls her eyes and follows them. They all stare at Sam. He is lying on the ground. He looks up a little embarrassed and Sad.

-Flash Back-

Sugar is walking through the halls of McKinley until she sees her new completion. She walks up to Sam who is putting books in his locker and getting new ones.

Sugar: Hello faker.

Sam: What?

Sugar: I said hi, where are your manners?

Sam: Hi?

Sugar: Thanks faker.

Sam: What with the faker?

Sugar: Oh I know that hair is fake.

Sam leans in and softly whispers: Did you speak to Kurt?

Sugar: I heard you joined the New Directions.

Sam: Yeah, so?

Sugar: That's my completion.

Sam: OH are you in the trouble tones?

Sugar: Yes I am their S.T.A.R. That stands for Sugar The Amazing Redhead.

Sam: But you have brown hair.

Sugar: I'm working on that.

Sam: Okay well see you at sectionals.

Sugar is completely lost in Sam's eyes that she doesn't notice the hand out stretched to shake.

Sugar leans in to kiss him but she runs into his hand.

Sam: Are you okay?

Sugar: Yeah fine, I gotta go.

She quickly runs off as Sam stare at her smiling.

-End Flash Back-

Sam looks at sugar and notices her in a new light. He has all these mixed emotions.. He likes Sugar. But out of respect for Mercedes he thinks he should stay away.

Sugar smiles: Hi Sam.

Sam: Hi.

And yet he still can't resist that smile.
