Without You

Trust Me, I Know

Brenda's POV

Saturday, December 6th

10PM

After my interview, Sam sent me an insanely long email, thanking me for what I said, and told me how much he loved me. Now, I'm finally getting off the plane and Sam is waiting for me at the gate. I still had one bag with me, and when I saw him, despite being dead tired, I ran and hugged him tightly. He was laughing as he spun me around. Laughing because I was acting like a five year old who hadn't seen there dad in a long time. He put me down and kissed me gently. He pulled away and grabbed my hand, taking my duffle bag from me and carrying it himself.

"Tired?"

"Very." I responded.

"Do your feet still hurt?" He asked.

"Yeah. Dumb ass heels." I mumbled. He stopped and stood in front of me.

"Hop up." He said. I laughed and hopped on his back, wrapping my legs around his waist. He put his hands on my knees so that I wouldn't fall off as I put my arms loosely around his neck. I kissed his cheek and he smiled."We're going to bed when we get home." I nodded into his shoulder.

"Please. I swear, Matthew didn't want me to sleep at all the time I was there. He wouldn't shut up while I was at the recording studio, then Thursday he kept me on the phone all damn night, talking about plans, then after my interview Friday he wouldn't stop talking about how much the press would love what I said, and I was just like, 'I don't care what the press thinks about what I said. I meant everything so, they don't need to make up lies like they do other people.'." Sam laughed then.

"I love you." He said, still laughing.

"I love you too Squishy!" He let me go and I landed on my feet beside his truck. He opened the door for me and I thanked him. He shut it again and got in the drivers seat, starting the truck. The drive there was pretty quiet, Sam humming a Sam Smith song.

 "You should do a Sam Smith medley with Chord and Puck, that would be awesome. And I can send it to Sam Smith." I said seriously.

"Chord and I were talking about that yester-wait, send it to who?"

"Sam Smith."

"You know him?"

"Yeah, I met a few months ago. Nice man, I can tell you that!" I said, "But no, I could seriously send it to him. He'd love it." I said.

"Cool. I'll talk to Chord about it again soon." He said. I nodded, grinning. He gave me another piggy back ride in the house, where everyone was, which didn't surprise me.

"Hey y'all." I said, plopping on the couch. Sam sat beside me and wrapped an arm around me. I put my head on his shoulder as everyone greeted me. I heard my phone ring and I groaned. I answered it, knowing it was Matthew.

"Wha-at!" I whined.

"I just wanted to see if you made it home."

"Yes, I did. Now can you please stop calling me for the next, oh, I don't know, 24 hours?" I heard some of the guys trying to stifle laughs.

"I know I'm calling to much, I apologize for that. Now go to sleep, you sound tired. Bye!" He hung up and instead of putting my phone in my pocket, I threw it on the floor, not caring where it went. I buried my face in Sam's chest for a minute, then looked at his shirt.

"I just got makeup all over your shirt." I said, putting my finger on the black spot on his shirt." They put to much damn makeup on me." I said. Mercedes nodded. Then I looked at Puck and Quinn."You two should probably go on your honeymoon, unless you want to post pone it even longer."

"Why?" Quinn asked, confused.

"You guys can't repeat this to any one, okay?" Everyone nodded." Matthew told me that in late February, he was gonna start planning a four month tour for me, and it will be during the summer mostly, so you need to go on and go, because I'm gonna need Puck as a back up singer."

"I guess we could move it up to right after Christmas." Puck said, and Quinn nodded.

"Just know that Quinn can come as well, since she doesn't have school and Matthew doesn't care. I already know that the wonder twins and Mercedes are coming along."

"Since when was I going?" Sam asked confused.

"Since just now. I'm making your butt go, whether you like it or not." I said, looking up at him. He smiled at me and kissed my lips quickly.

"Of course I'll go, just to warn you though, me, Chord, and Puck will be torture all together."

"Trust me, I know."
