Santana glared at Quinn and Sam in their embrace together. It made her sick to her stomach as they kissed right in front of everyone! How could he want that snake instead of her who offered her body to him. She noticed that Finn was stiff beside her as he stared at Sam with envy. Santana rolled her eyes and stood up as she stormed out of the room. Before she could leave the school building, a deep voice stopped her dead in her tracks. "Where you going? Can't face the music?" Pucks voice sounded behind her and Santana turned around to see Puck jogging towards her. Tears were streaming down her cheeks and it made Puck stop in his tracks. "Face the fact that I'm not wanted by any guy. Sam, Finn, you! NOBODY!" Santana shouted at him and threw her hands up dramatically. Puck watched quietly then walked over to her and pulled her into a tight embrace. Santana was stunned by the sudden warmth and kindness from Puck, the all time bad boy. She stood there for a few seconds before slowly wrapping her arms around him and snuggling closer to his tough as steel body. It felt good to be held safely and closely.
Finn couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes as Quinn and Sam walked out holding hands and whispering softly. Of all the girls, Quinn was the one he really thought was his, besides Rachel. But he didn't want to go down that road again. Finn stood up slowly and grabbed his coat when Rachel touched his shoulder gently. "I'm sorry Finn. Maybe it's just not ment to be." She said quietly and the anger in Finn got the best of him. "You are probably happy right now. Poor Finn got his woman taken and now needs sympathy." He thundered and then took his leave from the room, leaving Rachel to stare after him.
Puck smiled as he walked Santana home with his coat around her shoulders. He had his chance with her when Sam humiliated her in front of everyone and now she was fair game. She was more than fair game to him though, she was his girl. Everyone knew Puck as the 'bad boy' who stole girlfriends, vandalized, and broke into alcohol cabinets. Well he was more than that and he was willing to show Santana the inside of him. The side where he cared what people thought and what hurt him deep inside even though he never let anyone show it. The love and kindness he could show her if she would just give him a chance. A chance to show her that he could be better than Sam.
Rachel walked home slowly through the light fog. She kept repeating the things Finn had said in the classroom just hours before. Rachel hadn't ment to hurt Finn when she kissed Puck. It was a mistake and she regretted it since Finn was the best thing that ever happened in her life. The times they spent together in each others arms and writing song that really ment alot to her and maybe even more to him. The kisses they shared together and the laughter they always had. It made her heart hurt when she thought of the good times and it was even worse when she found out what had happened between him and Santana. Santana deserved what she got today, even if she wasn't Quinn's favorite person in the whole wide world. Rachel sighed as she greeted her parents and went straight to her tidy room. Straight over to her keyboard and a CD that was hidden under her bed. She didn't have the heart to throw it out but she couldn't stand looking at it everyday. On the CD, was the song she and Finn had sung together for the first time. It was one of their favorite songs that they had ever sung and no one had ever heard it, besides them. Rachel put the CD on and felt the melody move through her as she played the notes on the keyboard. She felt her voice clogg up for just a moment since the emotions were tugging at her heartstrings. Rachel quickly found her voice and softly sang to the song she had grown to love and hate all at the same time.
If I never knew you
If i never felt this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be...
