I don't own Glee—
Wow my little break turned out way longer then I had expecting and I cannot apologize enough for that. I've been having a little bit of issues going on in my life that have left me unenthusiastic about writing but no worries for I am back! At least right now, I have a week off so right now is the perfect time to continue this story. So lets get to it. Also this might be a little bit short compared to the other ones. Hope you like Sam. I really do.

As all things good go wrong we must remind ourseleves that we can always backtrack.
Kitty laid in bed restless for the third time in a row, sleep felt like a long off thing now. It was like everytime she closed her eyes there were Marley and Ryder standing there kissing. It hurt her heart in more ways than one, since she looked happy and could be openly happy with him. But even though Marley still sent her countless attempts apologizes; text messages, voice mails, cards, 'I'm sorry' teddy bears, you name it, she's done it. She missed the girl honestly but she felt like it was too soon to do any accepting. The wound was still fresh in her mind and soon the unwanted sound of an alarm clock brought her out of her never ending thoughts. "Great. Time to go to practice." She muttered as she was exhausted from no sleep and the hard practices that came soon after waking.
She rolled herself out of bed unenthusiastically and groaned as she got ready. She was completely miserable and at times felt the urge to just take Marley back to relieve her of the pain that made her feel so weak. Also she felt deprived of her kisses and touch, damn teenage hormones Still she pushed through it all like she was use to and went to school earlier then she was use to. She did what she was not use to, she began to sing.
Marley couldn't cry anymore, all her tears had already fallen and now there was nothing left. She felt completely dead inside from the aftermath of what had gone on just 3 days ago. It felt a lot longer than that but that is usually what follows after having your heart shattered into a million pieces. Ryder stated several times that he was sorry, even though he had no idea what he was sorry for. He just knew that she was hurting and that he shouldn't have kissed her. Even after Marley apologized over and over, the Cheerio wouldn't accept her apology and that down right killed her inside further. It was all and accident and something she never wanted to happen, she- she loved Kitty. Loved. That had to be the word to describe what she felt for Kitty. Nothing else could even come close to comparing what she felt for the girl. But no. Now she went and ruined it all by having a smooth talking boy stun her and take his chance at her.
As she got out of the car, she felt her mother's eyes follow her. She knew something bad was going on, just from the fact that Marley had no appetite anymore and had a permanent frown on her face. She just figured that now was one of those moments where she just had to give her daughter space and time. Eventually she would give in and come to her mother, she always did. "Have a good day sweetie!" She yelled out but just saw a small smile in reply. Everything felt different in the halls of her school, I guess that is what happens when everything feels like it has turned upside down. Sam's arm was quickly on her shoulder, he was the only one to know and understand why Marley was not acting like the girl everyone knew her to be. "How are you doing?" His voice was low and husky but his eyes showed so much kindness. "Not good." She said honestly and pulled him closer to him, he embraced her and brought his head up. His eyes felt on Kitty and felt a sad scowl play at his lips at the sight of the girl, she seemed just as broken.
But first thing was first, he had to deal with Marley because he knew that she didn't have to armor like Kitty had. His eyes fell on Ryder who looked guilty and had to resist the urge to deck him in the nose. Not to mention now he was apart of Glee club because of Finn. "Hey Marley can I-" Ryder came strolling up but Sam stepped in front. "I don't think she's up to it." He kept a stern look and felt Marley's eyes on him for the first time. "I'm sorry Ryder, but I need to get to class." Marley choked out and left Sam's side. Actively avoiding Kitty's glance, even sharing a hallway was hard. "What happened?" Ryder muttered and watched the pretty and sad girl leave. "I don't think it concerns you." Sam stepped away but Ryder grabbed him with enough force to keep him put. "I think it does if this happened after we kissed." His voice was dangerously low and just asking for a fight.
"Let go of me." Sam threatened, a crowd began to crowd around them and soon teachers would be wondering what was going on. "Tell me what happened." Ryder threatened back and pulled him close to his face. "Please. I need to know how to fix this." Ryder pleaded but Sam wanted no part of this. Quickly Jake found his way to the front of the crowd and squeezed between the two boys. "I don't know what the hell happened here but I think it's time for you to go before you have to mess with me." Jake lied as he knew all about the situation, because secretly he knew about Marley and Kitty. He saw how hurt Marley was and knew that he had to do something about it and here he was. "Fine. I'll get the back-story eventually though." Ryder backed out and began to walk the opposite direction. It kind of sucked having to go against him like this, he was actually a good guy. "Thanks." Sam muttered although he felt like he could of taken him if he wanted to. "I'm just putting glee club before our own sakes." Jake mumbled back before making his way over to Blair and putting his arm around her.
Blair's eyes fell on Sam's and they held a gaze. She looked even more beautiful to him then she had the moment they met. "I'm sorry." She mouthed and he shut his eyes and gave a slight nod. He still detested Jake but he knew that the past was the past, and it had to be behind us. The play is coming up and sectionals are just around the corner and they couldn't be fighting at a time like this. "That was some nice restraint you showed just now." Kitty's voice sounded behind him and he slowly turned around. "It took all I had, that's for sure." Sam scowled and began to head to his class with Kitty hot on his trail. "Listen you know I didn't want to hurt Marley right?" Her voice was desperate and horse. "I know." Sam muttered and stopped, the bell already rang for class to start and the two stood alone in the deserted hallway. "Just please know that I just need time before I can fix things." She whispered and gripped his right bicep before going to her own class. "Kitty." Sam's voice stopped her in her tracks and she gave him a sideways glance. "We will talk about this later okay?" His voice dropped the hardness it contained a second ago and returned to its truthful careness tone.
She nodded her head.
The day dragged on and the tension was high, it got even worse when Mr. Shue had announced that he was leaving and Finn was in charge. Tina was not happy about that one because she knew that now she was going to be the one forgotten and put second again. Tryouts were tomorrow and Marley was not even close to being as eager to play Sandy anymore. In fact she was not even going to try out anymore, she couldn't.
"Come on Marley, you have to try out." Sam urged as Marley rapidly shook her head, she just couldn't put herself in that role and play it as perfectly as she could while fully happy. "No one can play that part better then you can." He cooed and hugged her from behind. He had previously just came from a hour longer comfort session with Kitty that involved her crying her eyes out and deciding that she wanted Marley back after all. Good god he was an amazing friend for putting up with all of this. "No okay, I can't. I can't pretend I'm in love with whoever is Danny which will most likely be Ryder. My heart is too broken for this shit." She uncharacteristically cursed and Sam took a step back and fake gasped. "She can curse!" He exasperated and heard a slight giggle escape from her lips. He did a slight fist pump behind his back and grinned. The triumph moment didn't last long before she was back to sulking. "You just need to trust me and try out for Sandy." He said low, he suddenly felt his phone begin to vibrate in his pocket.
She rolled her eyes and sniffled as he checked his phone. 'Get her into the auditorium please.' It was from Kitty, funny how she could just assume she was with him now. 'Okay' He texted back and went back to her side. "Let's go sing a song." He said with a slight smile and took her hand and began to lead her towards the auditorium "Sam I don't think that is going to make me feel better." Marley scowled but followed him anyways even though she didn't want to sing for a change. "It may or may not." He responded nervously he had no idea what Kitty was planning but he knew that it had to be good. Soon the pair were in the auditorium and a picnic setting was on display on the middle of the stage. "What?" Marley muttered confusingly as she let go of Sam's hand. "Go, I'm right behind you." Sam whispered back he slowed his pace behind her and soon backtracked leaving her alone as she walked towards the stage. "Hey Marley." Kitty spoke softly as she walked out of the right wing and faced Marley for the first time since she had yelled at her.
"Kitty?" Marley felt herself gasp out and quickly turned to discover that Sam was no longer to be found. "Come up here."Kitty nodded her head to the stage and Marley followed orders. Completely stunned by what was going on. Kitty was missing Cheerio practice right now, what was she doing here? "What's all this for?" Marley said so quietly that Kitty almost missed what she was saying. "My own apology." Kitty sighed and walked over to her. "I'm sorry Marley. For everything. These last few days have been hard but I felt like i needed them. But I realized that a stupid moment was not worth losing a girl that I found super important to me." Kitty looked down and gentle lift up her eyes and met with the brunettes warm blue eyes. God her eyes were just so precious to look at. "What are you saying?" Marley knew what was coming and at that moment felt her spirit begin to rise.
"Marley Rose. I'm so-" She took a second to take a breath knowing that after she said these words she would never be able to take them back. "I'm so in love with you that it hurts. I love you. I love everything about you. I hate not being with you, and I don't want to do this not seeing you anymore thing anymore." She said in a single breath and struggled to catch it afterwards. Marley was simply stunned, she was expecting a 'I like you a lot' speech, not a 'I love you' speech. "I love you too." She said back, amazed that words could find themselves as she felt so totally stunned right now. "Really? Even after all I put you through?" Kitty inched forward and Marley looked at her as if she was stupid. "Of course sil-" She was cut off by a pair of lips that crashed to hers and took her breath away again as she lost her balance and fell onto the hard ground. Even with the impact the two girls did not break away but simply intensified the kiss. Both had missed the sensation that it had given them, now intensified by the statement that they were in love with each other.
Kitty pulled back, gasping for air but still kept her forehead on Marley's. Both chest were heaving up and down and their hands were tangled up in each others. Smiles displayed and the two slightly laughed before sharing another quick and way less intense kiss. "Please take me back." Kitty whispered before Marley responded, "Always." The two kissed again before Kitty pulled away and tugged her up to her feet. "So I hope you don't mind this, I mean I only had a few minutes to pull this off." Kitty spoke shyly as it was true, she only had about 15 minutes to go out and buy all this food for this special occasion "Anything is fine with me." Marley felt like her stomach had finally unknotted itself and she could breath again. "So does this mean that you also forgive me for being kissed by Ryder? Which won't happen again." Marley spoke quickly and Kitty nodded her head. "Oh it's happening again." Kitty spoke with acceptance which stopped Marley's train of thought completely.
"What?" She said with such confusion as her eyebrows flurried together in confusion. "You are trying out for Sandy and there really isn't any other boy besides Jake worthy of Danny." She said defiantly as she wrapped her arms around Marley's waist. "I'm not trying out." Marley shook her head which made Kitty frown in response. "You have to. If i'm not getting the lead role then my hot girlfriend needs to." It took a lot to get Kitty to announce she wasn't the hot one, and when that happened it was hard to say 'I still won't do it.'. "Alright. If it makes you happy, i'll do it. Just promise you won't get jealous when me and Ryder are together. Remember I'm thinking of you always." Marley winked at Kitty and made a small blush appear on her face. "I promise." Kitty smiled softly as the two began to dig into the food, Kitty doing less of the digging in and more of the appreciating the fact that the past was now behind them and they could go on.
Sam watched from the entrance with a satisfied smile on his face, but felt a heavy weight on his heart at the fact he still couldn't find a love like that. "You're still here?" A small recognizable voice came beside him and he turned his head to see Blair in her Cheerio outfit. "Oh hey Blair." He smiled softly and stuffed his hands in his pockets. "Did those two make up yet?" Blair smirked and walked next to him as the two overlooked the stage. Sam shot her a suprise glare and she lightly laughed. "Yeah I know about those two. You think something can happen without me knowing?" Her voice was in a whisper but just so light, it made her even more charming. "Honestly I'm not half as surprise as I should be." Sam smirked back and let his hand scratch the back of his head awkwardly. "Jake knows too." Blair looked down as she said those words, certain uncertaintanty filled her voice. "He does?" Sam scowled deeply and watched the girls eat and laugh together as if the incident that happened a few days ago never happened.
"Yeah.." She said quietly as she held her forearm. "What's wrong?" Sam's instinct to comfort the girl came suddenly and she looked up in spite of it. "N-Nothing." She stuttered which showed that there was obviously something going on. "Doesn't feel that way to me." Sam sighed as he walked close to the girl. "You can trust me Blair. Just about everyone does." He smirked at her and watched a light smile play at her lips. "I'm just confused." She finally spoke after a few minutes of silence. "About?" He responded as the pair begin to inch closer to each other without the other one noticing. "You. Jake. Just about everything else." Her eyes met with the tall blond and suddenly it felt like nothing mattered besides them. "I want you but I want him too." She spoke quietly as her face was inches from his. "I want you too." He said quietly, not even thinking about what he was doing. He kissed her and felt electricity flow through his body, her hands met the back of his head and clumped his short hair. This was wrong and he knew it. It was just too good to stop.
Seems like things just got a bit more interesting.
