A/N: Sorry about all the songs... I got a little carried away... but don't skip through the entire thing, because there are funny little commentaries in between songs that involve Kurt, Santana, Mercedes, and Quinn.
Santana and Rachel were sitting in the living room of Santana's apartment, watching a marathon of NCIS, when Santana suddenly remembered something important. "Shit." she muttered under her breath. Rachel looked up.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"I was in such a hurry to get back here that I left some important papers concerning the case in my office. I don't feel comfortable leaving them there overnight." Santana said.
"Go get them. I'll be okay." Rachel said.
"Are you sure?" Santana asked. Rachel nodded.
Five minutes later, Santana was on her way back to her office. Rachel decided to check her email and went to grab her laptop. When she tried to turn it on, she realized that her battery was dead. Frowning, she looked around and saw Santana's laptop. She didn't think Santana would mind, so she grabbed the Latina's laptop, noticing that the Internet was already open. Clicking on the tab, she noticed that Santana's email was open, specifically to a particular conversation. Rachel knew it was wrong, but she couldn't resist. It was from Brittany. Attached to the email was a picture of Santana and Brittany, Santana in the blonde's lap, and the two were kissing. Rachel immediately looked at the date, noticing that it was dated about a year before. 'She lied to me.' Rachel thought. She thought she saw something on Santana's hand and zoomed in on the picture. On Santana's left ring finger sat a diamond ring. Underneath the picture, Brittany had wrote a message.
Santana - So happy that you said yes! Can't wait to start our life together! I love you, baby! - Brittany
Rachel quickly looked for Santana's response.
B - I love you too! I can't believe you finally asked me! - S
Rachel instantly put the computer back on the coffee table. 'I can't stay here.' she thought. Standing up, she went into Santana's bedroom and immediately began packing up the stuff she had been unpacking three hours before. After she had all of her stuff packed up, she took the key Santana had given her off of her key ring (along with grabbing the key that she had given Santana off of the Latina's key ring she'd left behind), wrote a note, and placed the key and the note on top of the laptop with the email still open. Taking one last look around the apartment, Rachel walked out and headed back to her own place.
Santana hurried back to her office to get the papers she left. As soon as she had them, she was on her way back to her apartment. She didn't know why, but she had a bad feeling that something was going to happen and she didn't want to leave Rachel alone for to long. She made her way back up to her floor and opened the door to her apartment, expecting Rachel to be waiting at the door for her. She called out the diva's name, but recieved no response. She walked into her living room and found the couch empty. She looked in her bedroom and found it - along with the drawer Santana had cleared - empty. Then it hit her. She was alone in her apartment. She walked back into the living room and saw a piece of paper on top of her laptop. When she picked it up, a key fell onto the keyboard.
I can't do this. - R
Santana realized that she was looking at the key she had given Rachel earlier. Confused, she thought back to the past few hours. She didn't know what she could possibly have done to hurt Rachel. Looking down, she saw her email open. There was no way Rachel could have logged on, because she didn't know Santana's password. Then Santana remembered that she had been looking through old emails when Rachel had taken a shower. She'd forgotten to close out of it. She looked at the email that was open and immediately recognized the conversation. 'Damn it. She wasn't supposed to see that. Ever.' Santana thought. She immediately looked for her phone and dialed Rachel's number. It immediately went to voicemail and the Latina remembered that Rachel had shut off her phone because of all the reminders it gave. Santana grabbed her key ring and realized that Rachel had taken back her key as well. 'She thought of everything.' Santana thought. Suddenly her phone rang.
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to black
Incoming Call
Kurt
"Hello?" she answered.
"Uh, I just got off the phone with a crying Rachel Berry. What did you do?" Kurt asked.
"She found out that Britt and I were engaged last year. I told her that I hadn't spoken to Brittany since she left." Santana said.
"Why'd you lie?" Kurt asked.
"I don't know Kurt! But I need to fix it." Santana said.
"Santana, we're talking about Rachel Berry. What was the one thing that always got her unmad in Glee Club?" Kurt asked.
"When someone sang to her." Santana immediately said.
"Uh huh... and what's more romantic than seranading her with the songs she wrote?" Kurt asked.
"You're a genius. Get your ass over here, now." Santana said, hanging up her phone. She went to grab her guitar and looked for her video camera.
Rachel looked up when she heard a knock on her door. Cautiously, she spoke through the door. "Who is it?" she asked.
"Its me, Rach." Santana's voice said. Rachel sighed. "Look, you don't have to talk to me. But can you at least open the door? I come bearing gifts." Santana said.
"Are you trying to bribe me?" Rachel asked.
"No. You don't even have to accept my apology. But can you at least look at it before you write me off? Just take the gift and I'll leave, I promise." Santana said. Rachel opened her door, and took the bag that was being offered. "Thanks." Santana said before walking down the hall. Rachel closed the door and looked in the bag and saw that there was a letter and either a DVD or a CD. She grabbed the letter first.
Rachel,
I'm so sorry that you had to see that. I'm sorry that I lied to you. It wasn't important to me anymore, so I didn't see the need in bringing it up. The truth is, the last time I saw Brittany before she came back was a year ago. She was on break from tour and coincidentally, on break from her boyfriend. We went out to dinner and then to a party. She proposed in between the two. The engagement laste all of two weeks, when she was supposed to go back on tour. She decided to go back to Mitch. I was heartbroken, but I moved on. I know it looks suspicious with me looking at that email and the picture, but I was in the process of deleting them. You can look in the trash of my email account if you want. I got sidetracked when you came into the living room. I'm not expecting forgiveness, because I know you're hurt. But I really hope that you consider it. I want us to work, if there still is an us. I hope this proves it. I could have gone running back to Brittany the moment I realized you were gone, but I didn't. I'm trying to make this better, but I understand if you never want to see me again. At least watch the video, though, because I worked hard on it.
Love,
Santana
P.S. I apologize in advance for how long the video is. I may have went a little overboard, but its because I care about you.
Rachel put the disc into her DVD player and pressed play. Santana came on the screen, holding a guitar.
"Hey, Rach... I'm really sorry... anyway, I thought that you'd like this, even if you choose not to forgive me. I chose the original songs we did for Glee during junior year, plus some songs that made me think of you... so here we go." Santana said before she started playing the guitar and started singing. Rachel immediately recognized her song.
What have I done
Wish I could run
Away from this ship going under
Just trying to help
Hurt everyone else
Now I feel the weight of the world
Is on my shoulders
What can you do
When your good isn't good enough
And all that you touch tumbles down
Cause my best intentions
Keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take
Oh how many times will it take
For me to get it right
To get it right
Can I start again
With my faith shaken
Cause I can't go back and undo this
I just have to stay and face my mistakes
But if I get stronger and wiser
I'll get through this
What can you do
When your good isn't good enough
And all that you touch tumbles down
Cause my best intentions
Keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take
Oh how many times will it take
For me to get it right
So I throw up my fist
Throw a punch in the air and
Accept the truth that sometimes life isn't fair
Yeah I'll send out a wish
Yeah I'll send up a prayer
And finally someone will see
How much I care
What can you do
When your good isn't good enough
And all that you touch tumbles down
Oh my best intentions
Keep making a mess of things
Just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take
Oh, how many times will it take
To get it right, to get it right
"I know that you didn't actually right this song, but you sang it and you did a hell of a job doing it, so... yea." Santana said before singing again.
Yeah, you may think that I'm a zero
But, hey, everyone you wanna be
Probably started off like me
You may say that I'm a freakshow (I don't care)
But, hey, give me just a little time
I bet you're gonna change your mind
All of the dirt you've been throwin' my way
It ain't so hard to take, that's right
'Cause I know one day you'll be screamin' my name
And I'll just look away, that's right
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the words you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, and soon enough you'll figure out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me
Push me up against the locker
And hey, all I do is shake it off
I'll get you back when I'm your boss
I'm not thinkin' 'bout you haters
'Cause hey, I could be a superstar
I'll see you when you wash my car
All of the dirt you've been throwin' my way
It ain't so hard to take, that's right
'Cause I know one day you'll be screamin' my name
And I'll just look away, that's right
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the words you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, and soon enough you'll figure out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me
A loser like me
Hey, you, over there
Keep the L up-up in the air
Hey, you, over there
Keep the L up, 'cause I don't care
You can throw your sticks, and you can throw your stones
Like a rocket, just watch me go
Yeah, l-o-s-e-r
I can only be who I are
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the words you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, and soon enough you'll figure outYou wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the words you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, and soon enough you'll figure out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me (A loser like me)
A loser like me (A loser like me)
A loser like me
"Even though we didn't win Nationals, we did get two awesome songs out of it and well... I thought I sounded pretty amazing, so..." Santana laughed. Rachel smiled at the old cockiness of Santana Lopez coming out.

"I remembered how much you liked it when Sam sang Bieber, so... I chose a song that I thought you'd like." Santana said.
Oh
Yeah
Mmmm
I'd wait on you forever and a day
Hand and foot
Your world is my world
Yeah
Ain't no way you're ever gon' get
Any less than you should
Cause baby
You smile I smile (oh)
Cause whenever
You smile I smile
Hey hey hey

Shouldn't have let you know

If you need me

From a thousand miles away
When you smile I smile (oh whoa)
You smile I smile
Hey

Oh

"This song just made me think of you and I thought it worked perfectly." Santana said.
I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window on a cold dark winters night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might
And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore
My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I've been running round in circles in my mind
And it always seems that I'm following you, girl
'Cause you take me to the places that alone I'd never find
And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window on a cold dark winters night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might
And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars forever
'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
Even if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore
"Again, this fits perfectly." Santana said.
Picture perfect memories
Scattered all around the floor
Reaching for the phone 'cause
I can't fight it anymore
And I wonder if I
Ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
It's a quarter after one
I'm all alone
And I need you now
Said I wouldn't call
But I've lost all control
And I need you now
And I don't know how
I can do without
I just need you now
Another shot of whiskey
Can't stop looking at the door
Wishing you'd come sweeping
In the way you did before
And I wonder if I
Ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
It's a quarter after one
I'm a little drunk
And I need you now
Said I wouldn't call
But I've lost all control
And I need you now
And I don't know how
I can do without
I just need you now
Whoa, whoa
Guess I'd rather hurt
Than feel nothing at all
It's a quarter after one
I'm all alone
And I need you now
And I said I wouldn't call
But I'm a little drunk
And I need you now
And I don't know how
I can do without
I just need you now
I just need you now
Oh baby, I need you now
"Kurt really wanted to sing, so we chose the mashup you guys did after the duets competition." Santana said. Soon Kurt was on the screen.

"Even though I didn't win my Breadstix, I love this song and Mercedes and I sounded fucking amazing and fucking deserved to win that trip to Breadstix. We were so much better than Trouty Mouth and Tubbers-" Santana was cut off.
"I don't have to help you, you know!" Rachel heard Quinn's voice from behind the camera.
"Quinn, shut the fuck up! I'm trying to record!" Santana said
"Why can you still not accept that Sam and I won?" Quinn asked.
"Because I shoulda won that free trip to the 'Stix!" Santana said.
"Santana! Get on with it!" Kurt's voice said. Santana looked at the camera, looked at something (probably Quinn) behind the camera and started laughing.
"Right. Sorry. My bad. Anyway, Mercedes is gonna help me out with this one, because we sounded great together." Santana said. Suddenly Mercedes appeared on camera.
'Hi Rachel.' she mouthed. Santana snapped in front of her face.
"Mercedes. Pay attention." Santana said.
"Oh. Right. My bad." Mercedes said. Santana started playing.
Mercedes:
When I was a little girl
I had a rag doll,
Only doll I've ever owned.
Santana:
Now I love you just the way
I loved that rag doll.
But only now my love has grown.
Mercedes:
And it gets stronger, in every way.
Both:
And it gets deeper, let me say.
Mercedes:
And it gets higher,
Both:
Day by day.
Do I love you my oh my.
River deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah!
If I lost you would I cry?
Oh, how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby.
Santana:
When you were a young boy,
Did you have a puppy.
That always followed you around?
Mercedes:
Well, I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy.
Both:
No, I'll never let you down.
Mercedes:
And it grows stronger, like a river flows.
Both:
And it gets bigger baby, and heaven knows.
Mercedes:
And it gets sweeter baby,
Both:
as it grows.
Do I love you my oh my?
River deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
If I lost you would I cry?
Oh, how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby.
Mercedes:
I love you baby like a flower loves the spring
Santana:
And I love you baby like a robin loves to sing
Mercedes:
And I love you baby like a school boy loves his bag
Both:
And I love you baby, river deep, mountain high
Mercedes:
Oh baby
Santana:
Oh baby!
Mercedes:
Oh woah baby!
Santana:
Ooh Ooh Ooh! Ooh Ooh Ooh!
Yeah!
Mercedes:
YEAH!
Both:
Do I love you my oh my?
River deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
If I lost you would I cry?
Oh, how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby.
"Quinn wanted to sing, too. So... Here's the song she sang with Trouty Mouth." Santana said. Quinn appeared on screen.
Santana:
Do you hear me? I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my,
baby I'm trying
Quinn:
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard
Santana and Quinn:
Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooh ooh ooh
Quinn:
They don't know how long it takes
Santana:
They don't know how long it takes
Quinn:
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
Santana:
Every time we say goodbye
Santana and Quinn:
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will
Santana:
Ii Ii Ii
Santana and Quinn:
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
Santana:
And so I'm sailing through the sea
Santana and Quinn:
To an island where we'll meet
Santana:
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
Quinn:
Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning 'round
You hold me right here, right now
Santana and Quinn:
Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh
"I'm not exactly sure if this is supposed to be a breakup song, but don't take it that way." Santana said.
Kiss today goodbye
The sweetness and the sorrow
Wish me luck, the same to you
But I can't regret
What I did for love,
What I did for love
Look, my eyes are dry
The gift was ours to borrow
Oh, it's as if we always knew
And I won't forget
what I did for love
What I did for love
Gone love is never gone
As we travel on
Love's what we'll remember
Kiss today goodbye
And point me toward tomorrow
We did what we had to do
Won't forget, can't regret
What I did for love
What I did for love
What I did for love
Love is never gone
As we travel on
Love's what we'll remember
Kiss today goodbye
And point me toward tomorrow
Oh, We did what we had to do
Won't forget, can't regret
What I did for love
What I did for love
What I did for love
"I know you sang this song for Finn, but I think its a good representation of how I feel, so... yea." Santana said.
When I was younger I saw my Daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart and I watched
As he tried to reassemble it
And my momma swore
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love If it does not exist
But darling
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
Maybe I know, somewhere
Deep in my soul that love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone, keep a straight face
And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable, distance
And up until now I had sworn to myself that
I'm content with loneliness because none of it was ever worth the risk
Well
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't let go of what's in front of me here
I know you're leaving In the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream
Ohh—
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, And I'm on my way to believing
"I just think this song is a funny way to seranade someone, and I know you like the song, so..." Santana smiled before looking up. "Mercedes, Q, get out here." Santana said. She looked back at the camera. "Ironically, Kurt didn't want to help with the song... weird." Santana said as Mercedes and Quinn got on screen.
Santana, Mercedes, and Quinn:
Oh baby, baby
Oh baby, baby
Santana:
Oh baby, baby
How was I supposed to know
That something wasn't right yeah
Oh baby baby
I shouldn't have let you go
And now you're out of sight, yeah
Show me, how you want it to be
Tell me baby 'cause I need to know now what we've got
My loneliness is killing me
Mercedes and Quinn:
And I
Santana:
I must confess, I still believe
Mercedes and Quinn:
Still believe
Santana:
When I'm not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time
Oh baby, baby
The reason I breathe is you
Girl you got me blinded
Santana with Mercedes and Quinn:
Oh baby baby
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
Santana:
That's not the way I planned it
Show me how you want it to be
Tell me baby 'cause I need to know now,
Ooh because
My loneliness is killing me
Mercedes and Quinn:
And I
Santana:
I must confess, I still believe
Mercedes and Quinn:

Santana:
When I'm not whit you I lose my mind

Santana, Mercedes, and Quinn:
Oh baby, baby
Oh baby, baby

Santana:
How was I supposed to know
Santna with Mercedes and Quinn
Oh pretty baby,
Santana:
I shouldn't have let you go
I must confess, that my loneliness
Is killing me now
Don't you know I still believe
That you will be here
And give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time
My loneliness is killing me
Mercedes and Quinn:
And I
Santana:
I must confess, I still believe
Mercedes and Quinn:

Santana:
When I'm not with you I lose my mind

Mercedes and Quinn:
And I
Santana:

Mercedes and Quinn:
Still believe
Santana:
When I'm not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time
"This song was pretty epic when we performed." Santana said, laughing. Quinn and Mercedes stayed where they were, and Kurt joined in.
Santana:
Baby, can't you see I'm callin'
A girl like you Should wear a warning
It's dangerous, I'm fallin
Santana and Quinn:
There's no escape I can't wait,
I need a hit, baby give me it
You're dangerous, I'm lovin' it
Santanan and Mercedes:
Too high, can't come down
Losing my head
Spinning 'round and 'round
Oh, do you feel me now?
All:
With a taste of your lips I'm on a ride
Your toxic I'm slippin' under
With a taste of poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
Santana:
Din-din-di-li-li-lin, ohh
All:
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic?
Santana:
Oh, no, ohh
Santana, Quinn, and Kurt:
It's getting late
To give you up
I took a sip from a devil's cup
Slowly, it's taking over me
Santana, Quinn, and Mercedes:
Too high, can't come down
It's in the air
And it's all around
Oh, can you feel me now?
Oh
All:
With a taste of your lips I'm on a ride
Your toxic I'm slippin' under
With a taste of poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic
Santana:
Heeeey ey ey ey heey!
Din-din-di-li-li-lin, ohh
All:
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic?
Santana:
Oh, no, ohh

Don't you know that you're toxic?
With a taste of your lips I'm on a ride
Santana:
On a ride!
All:
Your toxic I'm slippin' under
Santana:
I'm slippin' under
All:
With a taste of poison paradise

Don't you know that you're toxic
Santana:
'Cause I know that you're toxic
Santana:

Don't you know that you're toxic?
Santana:

Santana:

Quinn:
I think I'm ready now
"I was really touched when you sang this song in Glee Club." Santana said. The other three remained on the screen.
Santana:
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag, drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?
Do you ever feel already buried deep?
6 feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing.
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you
You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
You don't have to feel like a waste of space.
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe your reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it's time, you'll know
You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July
All:
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Santana:
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through-ough-ough
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
All:
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
Santana:
Aweee!
Kurt, Mercedes, and Quinn:
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter
All:
Than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon.
"This song makes me think of how you make me feel." Santana said. Rachel heard a snort in the background. "Fabray, you are aware that this guitar can be used as more than just an instrument, right?" Santana threatened.
"This is sweet and all, but who are you and what have you done with our Santana?" Quinn asked. Santana rolled her eyes. "Are you going to give an introduction to every song?" Quinn asked.
"Do you have a problem with that? Just shut up before I introduce your death." Santana said.
"Santana." Mercedes and Kurt groaned from the background. Santana smirked and started playing.
You think I'm pretty
Without any makeup on
You think I'm funny
When I tell the punchline wrong
I know you get me
So I let my walls come down, down
Before you met me
I was alright but things
Were kinda heavy
You brought me to life
Now every February
You'll be my Valentine, Valentine
Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance, until we die
You and I, will be young forever
You make me feel
Like I'm livin' a
Teenage dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's run away and
Don't ever look back,
Don't ever look back
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance and
Don't ever look back,
Don't ever look back
We drove to Cali
And got drunk on the beach
Got a motel and
Built a fort out of sheets
I finally found you
My missing puzzle piece
I'm complete
Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance, until we die
You and I, will be young forever
You make me feel
Like I'm livin' a
Teenage dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's run away and
Don't ever look back,
Don't ever look back
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance and
Don't ever look back,
Don't ever look back
I'mma get your heart racing
In my skin tights jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me
In my skin tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Yoooouuu
You make me feel
Like I'm livin' a
Teenage dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's run away and
Don't ever look back,
Don't ever look back
No
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance and
Don't ever look back,
Don't ever look back
I'mma get your heart racing
In my skin tights jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me
In my skin tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
(Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight)
"So this song should have been my duet with Mercedes at Sectionals junior year, because it went to the duets winners." Santana said.
"That just would have been awkward." Mercedes said from behind.
"Why do you idiots insist on commenting every time I speak?" Santana asked.
"Because it pisses you off. Just introduce me already!" Quinn said. Santana rolled her eyes.
"Quinn's singing with me." Santana said.
"That's it? That's all I get?" Quinn asked.
"You already got an introduction." Santana said.
"So?" Quinn asked. Santana sighed.
"Just get your ass out here, Fabray." Santana said, playing when Quinn sat down.
"What about us? This was a group number!" Mercedes said.
"Fine! Get out here already!" Santana yelled. Kurt and Mercedes appeared.
Santana:
Now I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt like this before
Yes, I swear, it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
Quinn:
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I owe it all to you
Santana:
I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone to stand by me
Quinn:
With all the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical fantasy
Both:
Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it secretly
So we take each others' hand
'Cause we seem to understand the urgency
Quinn:
Oh...
Santana:
Just remember
Quinn:
You're the one thing
Santana:
I can't get enough of
Quinn:
So I'll tell you something
Both:
This could be love because
All:
I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt this way before
Yes, I swear, it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
Santana:
Hey baby
Quinn:
Hey baby
With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
Santana:
So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to lose control
Quinn:
Yes I know what's on your mind
When you say, "Stay with me tonight"
Santana:
Stay with me
Just remember
You're the one thing
Quinn:
I can't get enough of
Santana:
So I'll tell you something
Both:
This could be love because
Mercedes:
Because, heeey!
All:
I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt this way before
Yes, I swear, it's the truth
And I owe it all to you.
All:
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
'Til I found the truth
Mercedes:
It's the truth
All:
And I owe it all to you
Santana:
Now I've...
Quinn:
I've...
Santana:
...had the time of my life
No, I never felt this way before
Quinn:
Never felt this way
Santana:
Yes, I swear, it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
All:
I've had the time of my life
Mercedes:
Of my life
All:
No, I never felt this way before
Santana:
Never felt this way
All:
Yes, I swear
Mercedes:
Yes, I swear
All:
It's the truth
Mercedes:
It's the truth
All:
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
Santana:
Had the time of my life
All:
And I've searched through every open door
'Til I found
Santana:
'Til I found
All:
The truth
Mercedes:
The truth
All:
And I owe it all to you
All:
Whoa, oh, ohh!
Santana:
I've...
Quinn:
I've...
Santana:
...had...
Both:
The time of my life
"Okay, you guys get the hell out. Its time for anohter Santana solo. This was the first solo I sang in competition... not counting Don't Stop Believin'... anyway..." Santana said as Kurt, Mercedes, and Quinn left the screen.
Well, sometimes I go out by myself
And I look across the water.
And I think of all the things, what you're doing
And in my head I paint a picture
'Cause since I've come on home
Well, my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over?
Stop makin' a fool out of me
Why don't you come on over Valerie?
Valerie-e-e
Va-a-alerie yeah
Valerie
Did you have to go to jail
Put your house on up for sale
Did you get a good lawyer?
I hope you didn't catch a tan
I hope you find the right man who'll fix it for you
Now are you shopping anywhere
Changed the color of your hair
And are you busy?
And did you have to pay that fine
That you were dodging all the time
Are you still dizzy?
Since I've come on home
Well my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over
Stop makin' a fool out of me
Why don't you come on over Valerie?
Valerie-e-e
Va-a-alerie
Valerie ey ey
Well, sometimes I go out by myself
And I look across the water
And I think of all the things, what you're doing
And in my head I paint a picture...
'Cause since I've come on home
Well, my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress

Stop makin' a fool out of me

Va-a-alerie yeah

Why don't you come on over Valerie?
"San!" Quinn said from behind.
"What?" Santana said, clearly irritated.
"I just thought of a new song." Quinn ran over and whispered it in Santana's ear. Santana smiled.
"Its perfect." Santana said. Quinn sat down and Santana started playing.
Quinn:
I wish I could tie you up in my shoes
Make you feel unpretty too
I was told I was beautiful
But what does that mean to you
Look into the mirror who's inside there
The one with the long hair
Same old me again today
Santana:
My outsides are cool
My insides are blue
Every time I think I'm through
It's because of you
I've tried different ways
But it's all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
I'm just trippin'
Together:
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
Quinn:
You can fix your nose if he says so
Together:
You can buy all the make up
That M.A.C. can make
But if you can't look inside you
Quinn:
Find out who am I to
Together:
Be in a position to make me feel so
Santana:
Damn unpretty
Quinn:
I feel pretty
Santana:
Oh so pretty
Quinn:
I feel...
Together:
...pretty and witty and bright
Santana:
Never insecure until I met you
Now I'm bein' stupid
I used to be so cute to me
Together:
Just a little bit skinny
Quinn:
Why do I look to all these things
Together:
To keep you happy
Santana:
Maybe get rid of you
And then I'll get back to me, hey
Quinn:
My outsides look cool
My insides are blue
Every time I think I'm through
It's because of you
Santana:
I've tried different ways
But it's all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
Keep on trippin'
Together:
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
Quinn:
You can fix your nose if he says so
Together:
You can buy all the make up
That M.A.C. can make
But if you can't look inside you
Quinn:
Find out who am I to
Together:
Be in a position to make me feel so
Santana:
Damn unpretty
Quinn:
I feel pretty
Santana:
Oh so pretty
Quinn:
I feel...
Together:
...pretty and witty and bright
Quinn:
And I pity
Santana:
Any girl who isn't me tonight
Quinn:
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Santana:
Tonight
Quinn:
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Santana:
Tonight
Quinn:
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Santana:
Tonight
Quinn:
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Santana:
I feel pretty
Quinn:
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
Santana:
Oh, so pretty
Quinn:
You can fix your nose if he says so
Santana:
I feel pretty and witty and bright
Quinn:
You can buy all the make up
That M.A.C. can make, but if...
Together:
...you can't look inside you
Quinn:
Find out who am I to
Together:
Be in a position to make me feel so
Santana:
Damn unpretty
Quinn:
I feel pretty
Together:
But unpretty
"I know you sang this song with Finnocence, but its perfect." Santana said. No one commented that time.
face to face and heart to heart
we're so close, yet so far apart
i close my eyes i look away
that's just because i'm not okay
but i hold on, i stay strong
wondering if we still belong
will we ever say the words we're feeling
reach down underneath and tear down all the walls
will we ever have a happy ending
or will we forever only be pretending
will we a a a always a a a always a a a always be pretending
how long do i fantasize
make believe that it's still alive
imagine that i am good enough
and we can choose the ones we love
but i hold on, i stay strong
wondering if we still belong
will we ever say the words we're feeling
reach down underneath and tear down all the walls
will we ever have a happy ending
or will we forever only be pretending
will we a a a always a a a always a a a always be
keeping secrets safe
every move we make
seems like no one's letting go
and it's such a shame
cause if you feel the same
how am i supposed to know
will we ever say the words we're feeling
reach down underneath and tear down all the walls
will we ever have a happy ending
or will we forever only be pretending
will we a a a always a a a always a a a always be (pretending)
will we a a a always a a a always a a a always be (pretending)
will we a a a always a a a always a a a always be pretending
"I really wanted to end with that song... I'm really sorry, Rach." Santana said.
The screen went black, telling Rachel that it was over. Rachel smiled. She slipped on her shoes, grabbed her purse and jacket, and went to open her door, when she did, she found Santana sitting on the wall outside her apartment. She looked up from the ground when she heard the door open. "Thank God. You don't know how many people have given me these sad pathetic looks. One guy asked me if I wanted him to call the closest women's shelter for me." Santana said, standing up.
"You stayed?" Rachel asked. Santana nodded. "Come in." Rachel said, opening the door so that the Latina could walk in. "What you did... it was really sweet... and highly entertaining with the commentary." Rachel said. Santana laughed.
"Yea... sorry about that." Santana said.
"Singing the songs that I wrote for Glee Club... it was beautiful, San." Rachel said. Santana smiled. She started to speak, but there was a knock at the door. "Hold on a sec." Rachel said, before walking to her door. She opened it to find her landlord. "Mr. Rodney, hi." Rachel said.
"Hello, Rachel. I was walking past here earlier and saw a young woman about your age. I offered to call the local women's shelter, but she disappeared. Did you happen to see her? Did she looked depressed?" Mr. Rodney asked. Santana frowned and walked into the hallway. "That's her! Rachel, are you sure you want to take in a random depressed woman?" Mr. Rodney asked.
"Okay, first of all, I'm right here. I can hear every word you're saying." Santana said.
"Its okay, Mr. Rodney. She's my girlfriend." Rachel said. Santana looked at Rachel and smiled.
"Girlfriend?" she whispered. Rachel smiled up at Santana and nodded.
"Anyway, Rachel... I hate to tell you this, but I can't afford to keep the building anymore. The people I'm selling it to, they're gonna tear it down and make it some sort of restauraunt or something." Mr. Rodney said.
"Wait, what?" Rachel asked.
"Everyone's gotta be out by the end of the month." he continued.
"Where the hell am I supposed to live?" Rachel asked. He shrugged.
"I'm really sorry, Rachel. You always were my favorite tenant. I'll miss you." he said, before walking away. Rachel slammed her door and slid to the floor..
"You okay?" Santana asked, sitting next to her.
"Are you fucking kidding me? Of course I'm not okay. In two weeks, I'll be homeless." Rachel said. Santana looked down. She wanted nothing more than to offer Rachel her apartment, but she didn't know if that would be moving too fast. Allowing Rachel to stay with her for a couple of days was one thing, but moving in was completely different.
"I... I'm sure Kurt or Mercedes..." Santana trailed off when she saw the hurt look on Rachel's face. "What's wrong?" Santana asked.
"You... you want me to stay with one of them?" Rachel asked. Santana pushed a piece of hair out of Rachel's face.
"Well, of course I want you to move in with me-" Santana was cut off.
"Move in?" Rachel asked. Santana nodded and kissed her quickly.
"Of course that's what I want, but I wasn't sure how you'd feel... I wasn't sure if that was going to fast or what." Santana said. Rachel nodded and looked down.
"Maybe you're right... I can call Kurt." Rachel said. Santana studied the girl in front of her for a moment. 'I really do love her.' she thought. She took a deep breath.
"No." Santana said. Rachel looked up.
"What?" she asked.
"You're not going to stay with Kurt. You're moving in with me." Santana said.
"I didn't ask you to do that." Rachel said.
"Then I guess its a good thing that wasn't a question." Santana replied.
"San..."
"You know, I don't really give a damn if its too fast. We've spent the last week at each other's apartments together. You're my girlfriend, you need help, and I'm giving it to you. I'm not letting you stay with someone else when I have a perfectly good apartment and I'm sure as hell not letting you tough out the streets of New York City. You're pretty and pretty people don't make good homeless people." Santana said. Rachel smiled. "Rachel, please let me do this for you. I have a two bedroom. You can stay in there if you want. It doesn't have to be considered moving in together. It can be considered as me taking on a roommate... who I sleep with and am dating." Santana continued.
"Okay. I'll move in with you. But we're splitting the rent." Rachel said.
"Where are you getting rent money from? You're in between plays, Rach." Santana said.
"I have money saved up." Rachel said.
"When you book another play, we'll talk about the rent. Until then, I've got it." Santana said. Rachel hesitated, but nodded.
"San, I don't want you to feel like you have to do this." Rachel said. Santana shook her head.
"I don't have to do this. I want to do this. There's a major difference, Rachel." Santana said.
"Santana..."
"Okay, if you don't want to move in with me, then just tell me." Santana said.
"I do want to, but I don't want to seem desparate." Rachel said.
"You need a place to stay. You don't even have to live there. You can just stay there until you find a new place. Or if you want to live there, you know I want you to. For a while, you can stay in my extra room." Santana said. Rachel nodded.
"Okay... I'll do it." Rachel said. Santana nodded.
"Okay... we'll move over your stuff a little bit at time. We have two weeks. I'll clean up my extra room." Santana said. Rachel nodded.
"Thank you, San." Rachel whispered. Santana smiled.
"Anytime. I love you, Rach." Santana said.
"I love you too, San." Rachel said, kissing Santana.
