Santana and Rachel are together, but Rachel is also still with Finn.
'So did you tell Finn about us yet?' I ask her, after planting a kiss on her soft dark hair. We're curled up on the couch in my living room, watching The Little Mermaid, our favourite Disney movie. There's popcorn scattered all over the floor, the result of Rachel trying to throw popcorn into my mouth and me attempting (and failing) to catch it.
She lifts her head off my shoulder and gazes into my eyes.
'Santana, i-'
'You didn't tell him, did you..' I cut her off. She promised she'd tell him.
'Tana-'
I can see the hurt in her eyes but it just makes me angry. I push her off me, jumping off the couch. The springs creak and as I stand.
'No, Rachel, you promised! How are we supposed to be together if you're still with frankenteen?!' I yell. She flinches at every word.
Oh God. She's starting to cry now. The tears are rolling down her cheeks. She takes a deep breath, then quietly stands up and walks out of the room. A few seconds later, I hear my front door quickly click shut.
I'm left standing in the middle of my living room floor. My legs are shaky, my breathing is hoarse. My head is starting to throb. I cannot believe myself. I'd just yelled at my girlfriend. At my girlfriend. The one person I loved the most in the world. And all because she was afraid to tell her boyfriend about us, because she was afraid of what he might say, what he might do.
Suddenly my legs collapse and I sink into the carpet, popcorn scattered around me, tears flowing from my eyes.
It's been a week since we last spoke. I haven't tried to call her; I'm too ashamed. She deserves better than me. She deserves better than Finn too...
Thank god it's summer. I don't know how I would have coped if I'd had to see her at school every day. I've spent the last week mostly sleeping and watching movies. Somehow, in every movie there's a character that reminds me of Rachel though.
I'm at school – first day of senior year. I saw Rachel standing at her locker earlier... her eyes looked kind of red. No wonder. She's probably still upset about me screaming in her face.
Thank god for Brittany, she's being so sweet to me about this, giving me advice about what to do. Not that I would ever take advice from Brittany, but I appreciate the gesture you know?
Oh god. Rachel just walked into the bathroom, where I am. I'm not peeing, I just wanted to avoid Rach... so I locked myself in a cubicle. Ugh, now I realise that was a stupid idea!
Oh crap, the bell just went. I can hear Rachel and Mercedes gossiping and touching up their make up in the mirror. I need to go to class. Why are they still here?! I have to leave. Shit.
Taking a breath, I slide open the lock of the cubicle door and step out.
They stop talking and look at me.
I say nothing, look straight at Rachel, and walk out of the bathroom.
As I walk down the hall, I hear footsteps running behind me.
Swinging round, I see Rachel racing after me, her hair swinging as she runs, her face red.
'what are you-' I begin, but I'm cut off as she presses her lips against mine.
It doesn't take long for me to start kissing her back, then there we are, desperately making out in the middle of the hallway when I'm supposed to be in class.
Slowly coming back to my senses, I pull away.
'What about Finn?' I whisper.
She looks up at me, her big eyes staring straight into mine.
'I ended it with Finn that day we fought...I told him everything. I told him that I'm in love with you.'
I catch my breath. She's never said that before.
'I'm so sorry I yelled at you,' I say. I truly mean it.
'That's okay, i'm sorry I didn't tell Finn sooner!' she smiles.
'I love you so much,' I whisper. It's the first time i've ever said it, but it feels right.
'I love you too.' She says, leaning in for another kiss.
Hope you enjoyed! If you did, please review!
