SPEECHLESS ~ S. Evans

19. Summer

"Hey, thanks for coming guys it really means a lot to see you all here." Sam says with a small forced smile as he loads their last box into their car so they can get on the road and make their way to their new home.

"Not everyone is here..." Mike tells Sam sadly as they all remember Naomi isn't there.

"Yeah... I just wanna see her one more time." Sam tells the group as they all nod solemnly in understanding. 

"Maybe she'll still show up?" Rachel offers trying to give him a little bit of hope, and share a bit of optimism with the group. 

"I'd be shocked if she did... We left it on a pretty bad note. I shouldn't have yelled at her like I did." Sam tells the group as he stares down at his shoes and shoves his hands into his pockets while kicking some dirt on the floor.

"I still can't believe you guys broke up. Just like that. You guys seemed so happy." Mercedes tells him as she offers him a hug.

"We were... I-I thought that we could at least try, and when she told me her feelings I just yelled at her... I can't believe I yelled at her." He says as his voice feels thick with grief. "At least the first half of the summer was good."

"Sam, we gotta get going, say goodbye." His mom says as his siblings get in the car with his parents.

Sam hugs everyone in a large group and when they pull apart he looks down the street sadly, "She really isn't coming is she?" 

"I don't think so, man." Finn tells him as he clasps his hand on the blondes shoulder. 

Sam looks down again before looking up at the group in front of him, "Thanks for everything guys... Santana can you please tell Naomi something for me?"

"I don't know if she really wants to hear from you." Santana hesitantly tells him, but once she looks him in the eye she caves, "Alright, Trouty."

"Can you tell her I'm sorry and that I'll miss her?" He asks 

"Sam we have to go." His mom yells from the car as Sam nods and starts walking towards the car.

"Sam!" Santana yells to get his attention as he walks away. "I'll tell her." As she says the last part he smiles in gratitude before getting in the car. 

As Sam sits down in his seat he puts in his headphones and looks through the window at the scenery, driving out of the small town that he has grown to love. While he's listening to music he suddenly hears a song that he wrote a day or so after him and Naomi broke up that he recorded. 

~~~~~

After the whole break up went down Naomi took it really hard, she knew deep down that this time they wouldn't be getting back together... Or at least not for a really long time, and that broke her heart. Someone she put her complete and utter trust in just left, and they weren't even on good terms when he left.

Naomi never likes ending things with a fight, but when she couldn't build up the courage to see Sam and his family off with the rest of the glee club it ended their relationship on a sour note. 

Ever since then Naomi hasn't been able to write another song, every time she picks up her pencil and notebook to even try it hurts her too much and she just can't even write down a word before she begins to cry again. 

"Naomi it's been almost a month since he left, you need to get out of the house." Santana says as she walks into her best friends room finally fed up with her behavior. Naomi's life has been the same routine for a month, wake up, take a shower, watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S., try to write a song and cry for a bit, eat, watch The Office, eat, then go to bed.
