Crawl (Carry Me Through) | Quinn & Sam
coach-sevans:
Sam sat sprawled out across the couch, exhausted with a mixture of his unsuccessful trip to Connecticut and Quinn’s visit earlier. Since then he’d been on/off napping and knew he’d probably be falling asleep on the couch tonight. Jumping a little at the sound of his doorbell ringing, the blonde wondered who on earth was visiting at this time. Probably Rachel, he thought as he got up and groggily walked over to answer the door. He couldn’t have been more wrong. The sight in front of him actually frightened him a little. Quinn was sobbing, she practically fell into his arms and her face was so blotchy, it seemed as though she’d been crying for hours.
“Quinn?” He asked cautiously, wrapping his arms tightly around her after he swung the door shut. Sam’s instant reaction was to just cover her completely and keep her safe - make her feel safe. Whatever happened had obviously devastated her enough to come to him when she had no cover with her parents anymore. The blonde had never seen his girlfriend cry this much and it broke his head to witness. “Hey, it’s okay. It’s alright, I’ve got you,” he assured her strongly, cradling her head to his chest as he stood with his arms tightly around her for a few more moments. “Look at me,” he spoke quietly, pulling back to look down at her, still keeping her body pinned to his. “What hap-” he began to ask before noticing a significantly darker red blotch on her cheek. Bringing his fingers up to touch it gently, he looked down to her quickly - his eyes demanding an explanation.
Hey, it’s okay. It’s alright, I’ve got you. His words resonated with her and soon, her sobs dwindled into sniffles. She still had Sam. She hugged him tighter, feeling incredibly safe in his arms. He made her believe that everything would be okay. She averted her gaze from him when he looked down at her, feeling a little ashamed for being so incredibly weak. When his eyes strayed to her cheek, she bit her lip nervously, knowing that he would ask about the big red mark. Quinn flinched as he brushed his fingers against the raw skin. She sniffled, taking a moment to find the right words. “My parents found out about us and my dad got really upset,” she explained to him, but she felt the need to defend her father immediately afterwards, although she had no idea why. “I deserved it though.” Quinn was starting to believe that she did. “I said some things in the heat of the moment that I shouldn’t have. I…”
She looked up at him, her eyes brimming with tears again. “I’m sorry, Sam,” she apologized to him. “I’m usually not so careless, but he got a hold of my phone and…” She brought a hand up to wipe away her tears. She was all over the place right now. “He gave me half an hour to pack my things. My parents want nothing to do with me anymore,” she informed him. “He…He said I was a failure, an embarrassment…I didn’t know where else to go.” And then, she burst into tears again, unable to stop crying no matter how hard she tried.
