A very angry Finn Hudson stormed into the choir room abruptly approaching Sam.

"What the hell is this, dude? What blondie former cheerleader is having a secret Moonlight Motel rendezvous with another big-lipped blondie?" He asked angrily.

"Where does it say that?" Sam asked softly, as Haley held onto him trying to comfort him, in hopes he wouldn't explode.

"Right on the front page of the school newspaper!"

"Easy, Finn, try to remain calm." Haley urged the tall boy, as she exchanged a glance with Quinn.

"You don't seriously believe this, do you?" Quinn asked.

"Well, why shouldn't I?" Finn asked. "Why wouldn't he do the same thing I did to him?"

"Because it's gossip, Finn." argued Quinn.

"And Sam isn't someone who would do this sort of thing. I'm his girlfriend. I can clarify." Haley stated as Sam kept his arm around her.

"This is your fault!" Santana yelled coming into the room towards Brittany. "You told everyone that I played for another team on your ridiculous melted cheese show."

"Wait. Are you mad? You do play for another team. You were on the Cheerios, and now you're only in the New Directions." Brittany replied.

"And you couldn't have thought of any other way to say that?"

Finn suddenly pushed at Sam. "I'm gonna punch your face off!" He began to shove Sam, who also grew angry pushing him back.

"You got a lot of nerve accusing me of cheating." Sam replied, as they continued to push and shove each other.

"Guys stop it! Stop it!" Haley yelled trying to push the boys apart. It was impossible to separate them.

"You're the one who snuck in and stole Quinn when we were together! Back before Haley and I got together!" Sam yelled.

"Hey! What's going on?" Mr. Schue yelled, moving to stand between Sam and Finn.

Finn walked out, ignoring the teacher's question.

"Finn, where are you going? We got a rehearsal!"

"Not today!" Finn yelled in response storming out of the room.

"This is going to be a long week, but I'm going to be here for you every step of the way." Haley whispered to Sam as they sat down in the back together. He gave her a grateful smile and side hug in return.

"What do we know about Sam anyway? I mean, what town is he from? What state? What's his old school like? Maybe he's a serial killer." Tina questioned.

"You guys, I'm telling you, Kurt wouldn't cheat on Blaine." Quinn assured, trying to help Haley defend Sam.

"It's like the Rumours album. Being apart or on the road is hard for two artists. Performers have this love the one you're with mentality. I mean, look at all of us. Look at the different combinations that we had. Finchel, Puckleberry." Rachel said.

"Tina Cohen Chang-Chang." Added Tina.

"Arttany." Artie said.

"Pizes." Puck said as he sent Lauren a wink.

"Guys' we're sitting here squabbling over what?" Asked Finn.

"An unreasonable rumour." Haley spat.

"Finn's right." Rachel nodded. "We need more information."

"You guys don't know who you are messing with. You know? How would you feel if someone came and began stalking and messing in your personal life. Things are kept private for a reason. You have to have respect." Haley ranted.

"Tell us then. You seem to be obsessed with defending Sam when all evidence points otherwise." Mercedes questioned Haley.

"Oh please, you are all wrong. Your assumptions, your points. I don't need to prove anything. Just trust us and let it go." Haley raised her voice. "I can't stand you guys right now, so I'm leaving." With that she left with Quinn trailing behind her.

----

Okay. Terrific job, guys. Might want to try to smile a bit more next time though." Mr. Schue said while he complimented Quinn and Finn's performance of I Don't Want to Know.

"Yeah, it was lovely, but I prefer Quinn's duet performance of Lucky with Sam better." Said Rachel.

"You are such a hypocrite Rachel, always on my butt, especially this week. You try to hurt or offend every chance you get. Like asking my boyfriend to the prom earlier this week. Not acceptable. What you just mentioned is not something you should say. Some things are better unsaid." Haley scoffed, she was genuinely annoyed and hurt. "I can't wait for the day I can slap you again. Better yet, let auntie snixx do it."

"Where is Sam?" Artie asked. "We know he isn't doing the dirty since Quinn, Haley and Kurt are here today."

"I know what you're doing. You want Finn and I to stop singing together so that you can sing with him again." Quinn spoke up."

"Frankly, yes. Finn and I have amazing proven harmonis. And when it comes to nationals, I think it makes more sense for him to be paired with me." Rachel said.

"Well, it's not happening. Not as long as Finn wants to be with me." Decided Quinn.

"Wait I thought you said this relationship was about trust." Finn replied.

"Oh, I trust you." Quinn assured him. "I just don't trust her." She pointed at Rachel.

"Quinn has a point dwarf." Haley commented.

"Quinn, I don't think you can mandate who pairs up for nationals. Alright? Vocal Adrenaline doesn't need any help from us." Mr. Schue explained.

"I love being here, and I want to win but my relationship comes first. I'm sorry, but Finn, if you want to be with me, no more songs with her." Quinn spat, before leaving the room.

Haley followed and turned around. "And...Berry no more trying to steal my boyfriend. We all know you are just jealous that you don't have a relationship right now. You know what? I think you are a better single." Haley spat at her. "If you ever try to approach Sam again, I will do some things that will make you regret messing in my life." She warned, before storming out.

----

After Rachel had sung her rendition of Go Your Own Way. Mr. Schue got up and praised her. "That was brilliant. Brilliant."

"Not bad. Don't you think it's maybe a little inappropriate that you chose to sing a love song to my guy?" Quinn asked.

"You're such a hypocrite! You Little Miss Perfect Prom Queen! You're a cheater who cheats in cheap motels with Sam." Rachel accused.

"Nothing is going on between Sam and I." Quinn added. Haley had been slumping in her chair but sat up, and made sure Sam was okay, but he wasn't.

"Enough, guys." Mr. Schue said, trying to stop the arguing and lower the tension.

"You know, I blame Sam for all of this. And Rachel too. I blame her." Santana said.

"That's rich coming from you" Haley spat at Santana. She was trying her best to defend Sam.

"What did I do?" Rachel asked.

"I'm sure you did something."

"Trust me, Berry always digs her beak in other people's business." Haley said, matter of factly.

"See, I'm with Santana. Why doesn't Sam have anything to say about this?" Lauren added.

"Guilt." Mike said.

"Seriously, dude, what you're doing is not cool. They both have boyfriends. And cheating on Haley is trashy." Puck added.

"Shut up!" Yelled Sam as he got up, Haley's hand dropping from his shoulder. "I'm not messing around with Quinn or Kurt or any of those guys. Haley is still my girlfriend. They're just helping me."

"Oh, is this what we're calling it now?" Mercedes scoffed.

"Hold on. How were they helping you out?" Mr. Schue asked, concerned.

"Kurt was bringing me clothes, and Quinn and Haley were helping me babysitting my brother and sister."

"Why were you in the motel?" Finn persisted with the questions.

"Because that's where I live now." My dad lost his job a few months ago. Then we lost our house. So now we live in that motel in one room. Are you all happy? The truth is finally out." Sam spat as he left the room upset.

"Your behaviors are incredulous. You spent all your time and energy trying to solve the truth for yourselves. It's pathetic. You should've trusted us. Now you publicly humiliated my boyfriend, violating his personal life and it isn't morally correct. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. I don't want to see or speak to any of you until you figure out what you've done and the damage you've caused. And you apologize to both Sam and I." Haley yelled before running after Sam.

----

"Sam! Wait!" Haley called after him as she caught up to him.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't think this would happen. I tried to defend you whenever they would gossip or get on my back." She rambled.

"It's alright. You're the last person that needs to apologize Hay. You've been here the whole ride, and frankly, I'm grateful. Right now I need to go home." He said.

"I'll come because I know you need someone. This was a long week and you need to rest, so I'll take care of your siblings." She assured Sam..

He nodded gratefully, as they walked out of the school.

----

"Alright clases." Mr. Schue said as he walked into the choir room.

"Mr. Schue, is this true?"

"Yeah, The Muckraker says you're bailing on us to do April Rhodes' big show." Puck commented.

"Guys, if there's anything we've learned from this week's assignment it's that you can believe every rumour you hear."

"But isn't it your dream to sing on Broadway?" Tina asked.

"I have a lot of dreams, my top one being taking you guys to nationals." Mr. Schue answered.

"So you're gonna stay?" Brittany asked.

"Look, we are going to Nationals together, and we are going to win."

Before he could continue, Haley and Sam walked into the choir room with Stacy and Stevie holding their hands.

"Hey, everybody. Wanted to get these guys out of the motel for a while. I hope it's okay if I brought them." Sam said.

"Of course. Yeah, come on in." Mr. Schue said.

"I was also hoping that maybe they could help out with a number today. I have the perfect song I want to sing to them. Don't worry. It's good for the assignment." Sam assured, smiling at Haley who smiled back while she listened to Stacy asking her a series of questions.

"The more the merrier." He smiled as he gave Sam a pat on the back.

{DON'T STOP-BY THE NEW DIRECTIONS}

----

After the song finished, Sam brought Haley to the side as the group entertained his siblings.

"I just wanted to thank you for everything." Sam said as he brought her into a hug.

"It wasn't a problem. I am happy to have helped. Thankful that this long week is over." She sighed as she leaned into him. She pulled away, but was still in his arms, and looked up at him. "Did I tell you that Stacy asked if we were going to get married one day?"

"Oh really?" He asked, raising an eyebrow and smiling.

"Yeah she did. Pretty persistent that we're soulmates."

"I think we are, you?" He asked.

"I think we are as well. There's no one else I would want. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you." Haley assured him as he leaned down and kissed her, dipping her over, as she laughed while holding onto him for support and kissing him back.
