I'll Love You Every Step Of The Way

Chapter 8

Sam's POV

Brenda skipped out to my truck, opening the door and hopping in with a little difficulty. I chuckled as I easily got in the drivers seat.

"It's not funny Squishy!"

"Yes it is, Shorty!" She stuck her tongue out at me.

"Why did your tall ass have to have these big tires?"

"Well, you, mom, and dad are the ones who bought me the truck,along with the big tires." She thought about it for a second.

"Good point." I laughed. When we got to the restaurant, we ordered our food and sat at a booth. I watched a few people get up and sing Karaoke. They called our number and I got our food. While we were eating, she said,

"Are you excited for Senior year?"

"Yeah, but I'm probably gonna miss it once we graduate." I answered, after swallowing my food.

"Same here. I'm gonna miss Glee club the most." I nodded, agreeing with her.

"I'ma see if Mr. Schue will let me come back and help him out with it, during Marley, Ryder, Unique, Kitty and Jake's Senior year."

"You'd love that Sam. I'm not sure what college I want to get in. One close to you, I know that." I smiled and reached for her hand across the table." Do you want to go sing something? I want you to. I haven't heard you sing in forever." She said giddily.

"Um, I guess so. You can pick the song though." I said, standing up. She followed me over to the Karaoke machine and picked a song. I immediately recognized the song as ' I'm Not The Only One'. I looked at her and she shrugged, sitting back down at our table. I noticed Santana, Brittany, Marley and Jake come in. I swear, they pop up out of no where. They sat with Brenda and watched me. Brenda had her phone out, recording it. I looked at the lyrics on the screen, even though I already know the song.

You and me, we made a vow

For better or for worse

I can't believe you let me down

But the proof's in the way it hurts

For months on end I've had my doubts

Denying every tear

I wish this would be over now

But I know that I still need you here

[Chorus:]

You say I'm crazy

'Cause you don't think I know what you've done

But when you call me baby

I know I'm not the only one

By now, I was getting into the song. I glanced at our table, and saw Brenda smiling, tears in her eyes though.

You've been so unavailable

Now sadly I know why

Your heart is unobtainable

Even though Lord knows you kept mine

[Chorus:]

You say I'm crazy

'Cause you don't think I know what you've done

But when you call me baby

I know I'm not the only one

I have loved you for many years

Maybe I am just not enough

You've made me realize my deepest fear

By lying and tearing us up

[Chorus 2x:]

You say I'm crazy

'Cause you don't think I know what you've done

But when you call me baby

I know I'm not the only one

I know I'm not the only one

I know I'm not the only one

And I know...

I know I'm not the only one

Everyone in the restaurant, including the workers and cooks, even the owner, were clapping. I put the mic back on the stand and went back to our table, sitting beside Brenda, who wiped away tears.

"Why're you crying, Darlin'?" I asked.

"No reason, that song is just beautiful and the way you sang it just...." I smiled and wrapped my arm around her.

"Hey guys." I said, looking at the others who just popped up.

"Sup," Santana said, snatching a fry off my plate. I rolled my eyes and pushed my plate towards her.

"You can have the rest, I'm full."

"Thanks Trouty."

"No problem."
