For some reason, I've started to think about Sam and Rachel together. They are both outsiders to the whole Finn/Quinn thing thats going on and I'd like to see them communicate in the show. Anyway, here it goes:
"I get Finn, you get heartbroken."
Rachel quickly walked through the crowded school hallways, her head was down and her face wet with tears. Quinn's voice was echoing in her head "I get Finn, you get heartbroken." The worst part was that the pretty blonde was right. Rachel had been trying to convince herself, and everyone else, that she was over Finn. She knew that it was over between them, but there was that part of her that thought maybe, just maybe there was a chance he'd come back. Quinn took that chance away. She had this power over Finn that Rachel couldn't quite understand. Yes, Rachel had kissed Puck. But Quinn had slept with him, gotten pregnant with his child and told Finn it was his, not to mention her hounding him about money for the baby. How could Finn forgive Quinn for all that, when he couldn't forgive Rachel for a lot less? Rachel hated Quinn. Quinn was beautiful, blonde and popular. Rachel wasn't. She could sort of see why Finn had chosen Quinn over her. Who wouldn't choose the gorgeous ex head cheerleader over the annoying, overbearing captain of the glee club?
Rachel clutched her books to her chest and headed to the choir room, now she knew what she was going to write her song about. As she turned into the choir room she bumped into Sam, guitar case in his hand and leaving the room. "Woah." Sam said in surprise as he stood back. Rachel tried to squeeze past him, hoping he didn't see her tears. "Rachel." Sam put his hand on her shoulder, stopping her from moving. "Are you okay?" Rachel looked up at him, letting him see the tears in her eyes. "Oh."
Rachel didn't know why she did it. But something told her that when she grabbed his shirt and cried into his chest, he wouldn't push her away. Sam put down his guitar and wrapped his arms around the small girl, letting her cry into his chest while standing in the doorway. "Come on." Sam said after a minute "Let's sit down." Sam shut the door before he followed Rachel to one of the seats. "What's the matter?" Sam asked as he sat next to Rachel.
"Quinn." Rachel said quietly, Sam went quiet. Rachel knew she shouldn't have said anything. He had dated Quinn for a while, for all she knew he was still in love with her.
"What'd she do?" He asked after a silence that lasted a little too long.
"Just...oh, never mind." Rachel said.
"Is it about her and Finn?" Sam asked.
"Um. Yes." Rachel replied "She just...said something that got to me."
"She does that." Sam said, Rachel looked up at him, making Sam feel a little uncomfortable. "She is good at pointing out people's weaknesses." Rachel looked back away.
"Sorry." Rachel said. Getting up and wiping her eyes. "I'm sorry for disturbing you."
"No, it's fine. You can bitch about Quinn. I don't mind. It's better to let it all out, anyway. I promise I won't go telling her, she cheated on me. Remember? And if the stories are true, she cheated on Finn too, and lied about who the father of her baby was."
"They're true." Rachel said as she sat back down. "But Finn still went back to her...I guess life is just a lot easier when you're pretty." Rachel said, staring at the floor.
"Hey," Sam said, brushing her hair behind her ear. "You are pretty." a small smile escaped Rachel's lips.
To be honest, Sam had never thought about Rachel before. Not really. But when he saw her sad smile, it was like he was seeing her for the first time. She wasn't like Quinn or Santana, she was more innocent more...pure. She wasn't manipulative or bitchy, she was just a girl who expected the best out of everyone and knew what she wanted. Yeah, sometimes she went a little out of her way to get what she wanted, and she could be annoying as hell. But that's what made her different to the others. Finn had just casted her off, because she made a mistake. He would go on about how wrong it was to cheat in the locker room, but at that time Sam didn't know his girlfriend was cheating on him with the guy rambling about how cheating is wrong. Sam didn't like Finn. He was a hypocrite. Finally Rachel spoke up, interrupting Sam's thoughts. "I feel pathetic, I mean, I've hardly ever spoken to you before but..."
"It's like we are the ones that were hurt by this Quinn and Finn madness." Sam said quietly.
"Yeah. Like that."
"You know what?" Sam said as he stood up. "Screw 'em." he held his hand out to Rachel, she took it and stood up. "So we're hurt? Don't let them see that. Their names rhyme for god's sake. Quinn and Finn sounds more like a joke than a couple." Sam took Rachel's other hand with his free one and just like that, they were kissing. Rachel pulled away.
"Um...I should...I have...a song to...write." She said awkwardly, Sam nodded and let go of her hands. "Thanks...for letting me vent."
"No problem." Sam smiled. Rachel picked up her books and started walking towards the door, as she put her hand on the door handle, she turned around and looked at Sam. Awkwardly standing there with his hands in his pockets. She took her hand off the handle and ran back towards him, throwing her arms around him as her lips hit his.
Tell me what you think and if I should continue or leave it. :)
