A/N: Hey guys! So I was having one of those nights where all I wanted to do was listen to music and a certain song came on and I just got completely inspired to start writing another story even though I'm not done with the other one. I don't know why, but I just had to start this so if you like this first chapter and want me to continue let me know in the reviews and I'll continue. If you haven't read my other fanfiction check it out. It's called Keep Holding On and I'm not finished with it yet but I'm working on it. :) Anyways this story will probably focus mainly on Santana and I'm sorry for all of you Brittana shippers out there, but this is a Dantana fic. I love me some Brittana, but I love Dantana more! Oh and I wrote Finn out of this fiction just because it's too hard to write about him now. :( But if you guys really want me to include him, I will. It just doesn't feel right to me. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own glee.
Santana's POV:
"Hey Britt Britt," I greeted my best friend, wrapping my pinky finger around hers and walking into glee club. We sat in the back next to each other like we always did and five minutes later Mr. Schue came walking in and immediately started talking about our new assignment.
"Okay guys, we have a problem that we have to address," he said and I rolled my eyes losing interest already. "We need to get more glee club members now that Finn and Sugar moved away so I need you guys to get out there and start spreading the word," he finished clapping his hands together.
"I completely agree with you Mr. Schue and that's why I think we should all rehearse a number to sing during lunch so we can get some attention. I'll be taking lead of course," she said and I laughed before responding.
"What makes you think we should just roll over and let you get the lead, man hands. I know this is a foreign concept to you, but there are other people in this club as well. The world doesn't revolve around you, Berry," I said giving her an icy glare.
"Okay guys let's not fight over this. Rachel I like your idea, but lets keep it more of a group effort so that we can showcase all of the talent we have in this club," he reasoned and Rachel huffed in response.
I tuned out the rest of glee club because lately it just seemed to be the Berry show and it was driving me completely insane. When it was finally over, I made my way for the door but Rachel stopped me before I could leave.
"Here you go Santana," she said handing me a piece of sheet music. I grabbed the music and left without saying a word. Last year, I finally came out to the school because of my relationship with Brittany, but over the summer, Brittany and I decided that we weren't meant to be together and we both decided to stick with being friends. Ever since then, I've definitely felt a difference walking throughout the school because everybody either looks at me like I'm a project they can fix or they look at me like I'm a disgusting excuse for a human being. I don't regret coming out, but you could definitely say that since then, my emotional walls have tripled in size. When I made it to my car, Quinn and Brittany were already waiting for me.
"What took you so long?" Quinn said in her bitchy tone.
"Berry stopped me before I could leave," I said with a shrug as I unlocked the car and hopped into the drivers seat.
"Berry? What did she want?" she asked from the back seat.
"She just gave me some music," I said not really in the mood to talk.
We sat in comfortable silence for most of the way home and when we got back to my place, we grabbed some drinks and turned on the radio before the real gossip started.
"Okay, so have you guys seen the new girl?" Quinn started and I sighed because this is how we spent everyday and I was getting really tired of having to listen to all of the bullshit.
"Oh the one with the blue hair?" Brittany exclaimed and Quinn nodded her head before continuing.
"I don't know what she was thinking showing up here with that hair color," she laughed before continuing. "But anyways, I heard that her parents moved here from LA because she kept getting kicked out of schools. Word is she even got sent to Juvie!" she exclaimed and my stomach turned a little at how excited she was over stupid drama.
"What is wrong with you Quinn? Why do you care so much? Why can't you just leave everybody's business alone?" I asked finally losing my patience.
"Geez what's wrong with you grumpy? Is it that time of the month?" she asked upset at me for calling her out.
"No it's not that time of the month. I'm just annoyed with having to hear all of this stupid gossip every single day. Can't we talk about something else for a change?" I asked falling back onto my bed.
"Like what? We live in Lima, Santana. There isn't really anything else to talk about," she said shortly.
"What about mermaids?" Brittany asked and Quinn and I both gave her a blank stare. "What? I've always wanted to meet one and I think I saw one in your pool the last time we came over," she said with a shrug and I smiled being used to Brittany's ways. Quinn on the other hand just looked pissed and she turned her attention back to me.
"You know ever since you came out, you've changed," she said and I rolled my eyes.
"Of course I have changed Quinn. That's a big step for someone to take so excuse me if I changed a little after one of the biggest things I've ever had to do in my life," I replied and she rolled her eyes.
"Whatever, since you clearly don't want to be around me, I'm just going to go," she said getting up to leave and I laughed because she had nowhere to go.
"Where are you going to go if I don't give you a ride?" I asked with a smirk.
"Just take me home Santana," she replied bitterly and I laughed before getting up and bringing both her and Brittany home and heading back to my place. I immediately went to my room and blasted some music before laying on my bed and losing myself in the music, drifting away from the real world. I eventually fell asleep and I didn't wake up until early the next morning. When I went downstairs to get some breakfast, my phone buzzed on the counter and I quickly sat down and looked at the text.
From Quinn: I hope you've cheered up today because we have cheer practice afterschool and I swear to god if you piss off Coach Sue and I'm left to deal with it, I'm going to kill you.
I replied with a quick message because I was completely pissed off at her and I didn't really want to talk to her at all today.
To Quinn: Love you too Quinn. Have fun on the bus.
A few minutes later, my phone buzzed again and I rolled my eyes before opening the message.
From Quinn: Too bad I already got a ride from Puck. Maybe one day your threats will actually mean something to me.
I threw my phone back onto the counter and continued to eat my cereal, not bothering to respond because it was pointless to waste my time. After I was finished, I quickly changed into my cheerios uniform and fixed my hair and makeup before heading out the door. When I got to school, Rachel immediately cornered me.
"Please tell me you looked at that sheet music," she said with an obnoxious look on her face.
"Yes I did," I lied trying to get her to leave me alone.
"Good because we are performing it today during lunch," she smiled and I groaned because it was hard enough keeping up my status without this kind of social suicide.
"Fine I'll be there," I said brushing past her and walking to my locker. Luckily the song we were performing was one of my favorites so I already had it memorized. I grabbed my books and shut my locker before heading to my first class. For the rest of the day I pretty much zoned out thinking about everything but school and eventually it was time for lunch. When I walked into the cafeteria, Quinn and Rachel immediately dragged me over to where the rest of the glee kids were gathered.
"You're late Santana!" Rachel hissed and I just shrugged, moving over to stand next to Brittany.
Kurt pressed play on the docking station and the cafeteria immediately filled with music.
Singing Radiohead at the top of our lungs
With the boom box blaring as we're falling in love
Got a bottle of whatever, but it's getting us drunk
Singing here's to never growing up
Call up all our friends, go hard this weekend
For no damn reason, I don't think we'll ever change
Meet you at the spot, half past ten o'clock
We don't ever stop, and we're never gonna change
As I finished my small solo, I looked into the crowd of people and my eyes were immediately drawn to blue hair.
Say, won't you stay forever stay
If you stay forever hey
We can stay forever young
Singing Radiohead at the top of our lungs
With the boom box blaring as we're falling in love
Got a bottle of whatever, but it's getting us drunk
Singing, here's to never growing up
I couldn't help but keep looking at the blue haired girl that Quinn had talked about yesterday. She was actually really beautiful.
We'll be running down the street, yelling "Kiss my ass!"
I'm like yeah whatever, we're still living like that
When the sun's going down, we'll be raising our cups
Singing, here's to never growing up
Oh whoa, oh whoa, here's to never growing up
Oh whoa, oh whoa, here's to never growing up
We live like rock stars, dance on every bar
This is who we are, I don't think we'll ever change (hell no!)
They say just grow up, but they don't know us
We don't give a fuck, and we're never gonna change
Say, won't you stay forever stay
If you stay forever hey
We can stay forever young
Singing Radiohead at the top of our lungs
With the boom box blaring as we're falling in love
Got a bottle of whatever, but it's getting us drunk
Singing, here's to never growing up
I blushed a little when I swore I saw the girl smile back at me and I immediately looked away trying to regain my composure.
We'll be running down the street, yelling "Kiss my ass!"
I'm like yeah whatever, we're still living like that
When the sun's going down, we'll be raising our cups
Singing, here's to never growing up
Oh whoa, oh whoa, here's to never growing up
Oh whoa, oh whoa, here's to never growing up
Say, won't you stay forever stay
If you stay forever hey
We can stay forever young
Singing Radiohead at the top of our lungs
With the boom box blaring as we're falling in love
I got a bottle of whatever, but it's getting us drunk
Singing, here's to never growing up
We'll be running down the street, yelling "Kiss my ass!"
I'm like yeah whatever, we're still living like that
When the sun's going down, we'll be raising our cups
Singing, here's to never growing up
Oh whoa, oh whoa, here's to never growing up
Oh whoa, oh whoa, (yeah raise your glass and say) here's to never growing up
Oh whoa, oh whoa, (da de da de da) here's to never growing up (no we're never growing up)
Oh whoa, oh whoa, here's to never growing up
By the end of the song most of the people in the cafeteria weren't impressed and went back to eating their lunch. I chanced a glance at the blue-haired girl, but when I looked back to where she was before, she was gone. My smile disappeared from my disappointment before I went to sit with the rest of the glee club.
"I think that went well," Kurt said with a wide smile and I laughed.
"You think that went well? They could care less about us Lady face," I said and he gave me a disapproving look.
"Well not all of us look at the glass half empty, Satan. At least there wasn't a food fight and we didn't get slushied," he pointed out just as two football players made their way over to him and Berry with two giant slushy's. I stayed silent until they were hit with the slushy's and covered in red ice.
"What were you saying?" I asked and he rolled his eyes before heading to the bathroom to clean himself up.
I grew tired of the conversations with Quinn and the rest of the glee club at the table so I excused myself and started walking the halls to clear my head. Just as I was passing the auditorium, I heard a voice that broke through my thoughts. It was faint, but just loud enough to hear from the halls. I quietly walked into the auditorium trying to get a better listen of the unfamiliar voice. When I walked in, I ducked behind one of the walls and peeked around the corner. I didn't get a very good look, but I did catch enough to notice blue hair, which narrowed it down to one person. I sat back and listened to her voice letting it take over me.
Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And the worst part is there's no one else to blame
I closed my eyes and listened to her beautiful voice. It was so soothing to me and yet heartbreaking at the same time.
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small and needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
Ouch I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found,
Yeah I think that I might break
I've lost myself again and I feel unsafe
I chanced another look and when I did the girl looked completely broken. The sight broke my heart and I didn't quite know why considering I knew absolutely nothing about her. I didn't even know her name.
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small and needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small and needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
At the end of the song I heard her stand up and walk off the stage, heading in my direction. I quickly panicked and bolted for the auditorium door. Unfortunately I was a little too fast and I accidently hit a chair on the way out.
"Who's there?" she called out just as I closed the door and bolted for the glee club room. When I made my way in, I was shocked to see that both Quinn and Rachel were already waiting for glee club to start.
"Why are you in such a rush?" Quinn asked suspiciously.
"No reason," I said simply taking a seat in the back.
"And where did you head off to during lunch by the way, you never came back," Quinn asked again.
"I just went to the bathroom," I lied trying to drop the conversation.
"That's weird, I was just in there getting cleaned up from that slushy," she said and she and Quinn both gave me a suspicious look.
"I went to a different bathroom," I said simply, and judging by the looks on their faces, I wasn't fooling anybody. For the rest of glee club I zoned out again, my mind only thinking about the blue-haired girl and her incredible voice. I don't know what it was about her, but the pain in her voice made me want to get to know her. I wanted to help her because I was sure that what she was going through was something a lot deeper than I could probably fathom. I didn't understand it, but I wanted to know the girl behind the gorgeous voice.
And there's the first chapter! I'm super excited about this and I really don't know why, but let me know what you guys think about this and whether you think I should continue or not. This story will probably be a little more angsty than my other one so if that's not your style, I'm sorry, but you can go check out my other story if you haven't already :) As always, thank you for reading. Love you guys!
