A/N: Hey guys! I'm back with a ton of ideas for new and old stories! It's just going to take a while for me to get them up because the stress of high school is starting to get to me, and I'm looking for a summer job. I decided to write this story because when I was listening on my iPod, I song came up that really caught my attention and it fits Santana's situation perfectly for this story! It's called When I Look At You by Miley Cyrus. Don't judge me. Miley Cyrus is awesome. Hope you guys like it!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything Glee or Miley related. Especially her song.
Santana looked over to her left, on her far left, she saw Finn looking at the floor with the saddest look she's ever seen. He hasn't been happy ever since he broke up with Rachel, everybody tried to cheer him up, but it was no use, he was still sad. At first when the secret came out, she didn't apologize to Finn or Rachel, it took her a while to get the courage up, after all, she did have some feelings for Finn, they haven't surfaced since that night at the motel. But once she did apologize, Santana saw in Finn's eyes forgiveness, not for Rachel, but for her. It's okay, Santana. Even though the secret didn't came out as planned, it came out and that's all that matter. A whole weight was lifted off my shoulders when the secret came out, it just took a while to come in effect. Thanks, Santana. Those 4 sentences stayed in Santana's mind for the past 9 days, it kept haunting her, she kept trying to depict what he meant, but couldn't. Mr. Shue's voice shook her from her attempt to depict those 4 sentences that Finn said once more.
"Okay guys, here's today's assignment. Since there has been a lot of drama before Sectionals started, I thought it would be good to sing about it so that we can relieve our stress and pent up emotion. So for the next week, I expect you guys to sing about it from your point of view of the past few weeks." Mr. Shue said as he was packing up his things.
"Mr. Shue, where are you going? Glee club isn't over yet." Mike said with a confused tone.
"I'm going to give you guys a head start, so for the next hour and a half you guys could start choosing your songs." Mr. Shue said as he was leaving the choir room.
"Mr. Shue, I would like to sing a song for the assignment you just assigned us." Santana said standing.
"Sure, Santana. Go ahead, we're all ears." Mr. Shue said taking with the glee kids.
Santana walked to the band and told them to play a song that she going to sing soon. Once she was done discussing with the band, she started to walk to he center of the choir room to perform the song. With every step she took, a strange feeling enveloped her body. To Santana this feeling was strange and unknown for her, but for us the feeling was courage, bravery, love. Santana has been emotionally scarred because of all the guys that she's been with in the past, she doesn't know what it feels like to be truly loved by a guy that she has chemistry with. As Santana got to the middle of the room, the band started to play the music. She heard the little piano solo at the beginning that inspired her because of the beautiful melody. She started to sing:
Everybody needs inspiration
Everybody needs a song
A beautiful melody when the night's so long
'Cause there is no guarantee that this life is easy
Yeah, when my world is falling apart
When there's no light to break up the dark
That's when I, I, I look at you
When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home anymore
That's when I, I, I look at you
(Santana made eye contact with Finn as she sung the next line of the song, pouring her heart out to Finn.)
When I look at you, I see forgiveness, I see the truth
(She closed her eyes for a moment, breaking eye contact from Finn as she sung the next line. Who could love a person like me? She thought negatively to herself.)
You love me for who I am like the stars hold the moon
Right there where they belong
And I know I'm not alone
(She opened her eyes and made contact with Finn, as she sung about her favorite part, but right now, it was extremely nervewracking singing about her hidden feelings for the awkwardly tall football player.)
Yeah, when my world is falling apart
When there's no light to break up the dark
That's when I, I, I look at you
When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home anymore
That's when I, I, I look at you
(For the first time in a while, she smiled a real smile as she sung about what it feels like whenever Finn appears in her life.)
You appear just like a dream to me
Just like kaleidoscope colors that prove to me
All I need, every breath that I breathe
Don't ya know, you're beautiful
Yeah, yeah
When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home anymore
That's when I, I, I look at you
I look at you
Yeah, yeah, oh, oh
You appear just like a dream to me
As she finished, she heard a huge round of applause. She saw everyone coming towards her to give her a hug. Santana soon discovered that when the song was starting to end, she started to cry. She knew that only one person that didn't come to tell her, "good job" was Rachel. Of course, she is still mad at Santana for sleeping with her boyfriend Finn, but then again, they weren't dating at the time. Santana's head soon collided with Finn's chest when he hugged her. She stiffened at the contact, she felt butterflies in her stomach, her hands felt clammy, she can fell her blush creeping all over her face. After a few seconds, she felt Finn pull back from the hug because she wasn't hugging him back, but Santana didn't want the feelings to go away so she wrapped her arms his waist and snuggled closer to his chest and let what's left of her tears fall.
To Be Continued...
A/N: So what did you guys think? Was it good? Bad? I decided that this would be a bunch of Finntana ficlets with other couples in it. No FINCHEL or SAMTANA. Each chapter would either be a new story revolving around a certain couple, or a continuation of the previous chapter. Make sure that you guys read the Author's Note to get the full info, because if you don't I highly guarantee that you'll be immensely confused! Review to let me know what you think of the idea and the story!
