To Death Do Us Part
A Glee Fan Fiction
Chapter 6

Kurt Hummel's eyes widened as he saw the bruise starting to form on his step brother's right eye. He shook his head as he noticed Puck walking, his right arm holding his left as if it hurt him-and everybody knew Puck's favorite hand to punch with was the left, because it got him out of a lot of trouble with the faculty who assumed he was right handed for everything.

That was the last straw. The two idiotic football players had been in the parking lot, physically fighting over Rachel Berry, and that was not okay with him. Especially since only one of those two boys deserved the girl, and it was not the one who had gotten the worst of the fight. Rachel shouldn't be with the boy she was with, but she was, and Kurt just needed to figure out some sort of way to prove to her that Finn Hudson was nothing but bad news, with a capital T for trouble. Because if Puck had finally resorted to physical violence to get his point across, who knew what would come next?

He'd known that it had been important to get Rachel away from the two supposed best friends, because he realized the secret behind their friendship. After all, it wasn't like they had a typical, every day friendship.

No, they weren't friends because they liked one another. They were not friends because they respected each other and thought that it was fun to be around the other one. They practically hated the other one. They were jealous of one another and remained friends solely to make sure they could always know exactly what they had to compete with. And so they knew what they could do to hurt the other one the most, in the worst way possible.

That was why Puck had slept with Quinn at that party, despite the fact that he honestly had no feelings towards her until the baby came along. That was the reason Finn had gotten together with Rachel in the first place. That was why Finn had slept with-

"SANTANA!" Kurt shouted, hurrying down the hallway as the tall, glossy haired, curvy Latino walked past him in the hallway, on her way to whatever her next class was-Kurt only memorized the schedule of people who it was important for him to know the schedules of. His bullies, for instance, or his crushes, perhaps?

"What? Did Karofsky do something to you again? Because I'll-"Santana began, her eyes darting around until they located on the broad football player with the stupid haircut.

"No, no-it's nothing to do with me! It's about Rachel!" Kurt exclaimed, cutting her off excitedly, his face lighting up at his plan. He'd finally figured out what it would take to break Finn and Rachel up. He just had to convince Santana to do something that might risk her new-found friendship with the girl.

"What about Rachel? Did somebody slushy her? Shit, we didn't pack her any extra clothes today!" Santana cursed as she stomped her foot, glaring at the gaggle of football players with David Karofsky.

"She's not in trouble. Remember how we were talking about wanting to get her and Finn to break up because of how he's been treating her, without telling her what he's been saying, because that would probably kill her inside?" Kurt asked, recalling their conversation from homeroom. Their friendship was based solely on their friendships with Rachel.

"Yeah? Did you figure something out?" Santana asked. "Because then I would kiss you-well, no, I wouldn't, because it would probably disgust you and all, but I'd get some hot guy to kiss you," She shrugged, giggling.

"Well, I don't think you're going to like this plan too much, so don't make any promises." Kurt admitted as they started walking. "But, I know that Finn's been telling Rachel he's a virgin," Kurt said, raising his eyebrows at her.

"Does that moron know what a virgin is? That means you haven't had sex before. He slept with me last year during that stupid little Madonna contest or lesson thing or whatever the hell everybody wants to call it between Coach Sue and Mr. Schue," Santana rolled her eyes as she shook her head at Finn's stupidity.

"He's lying to her!" Kurt snapped. "And we all know how she hates being lied to, right?" Kurt asked her. Santana nodded. "So if you were to tell your new best friend about your relationship with Finn..."

"No way! She'll never talk to me again, and I actually enjoy being her friend. She's pretty cool when you get past the annoying, determined-"

"You're a conniving bitch," Kurt said blankly. "You can make her only get mad at him. Come on, San-this might be our only chance to do anything about it!"

"But how are we going to get Puck and Rachel together?" Santana asked. "I mean, that's probably the most important part of making sure that Finn and Rachel don't get back together-and why the hell is this the important part of our lives when there's a killer on the loose?" Santana wondered, laughing a little bit.

"Because we need something to get out minds off of the scary shit and this is what we've got," Kurt shrugged. "Now, we'll have to leave Puckleberry's reunion to Puck, or it will seem like we only broke Finn and Rachel up for that reason-which is true, but she doesn't need to know that. So, will you do it?" Kurt asked.

"Tonight, alright? I'm sleeping over at her house. Although, I don't know how much alone time we'll have, because I doubt that Puck's going to not show up again. Especially if we get another-never mind," She shook her head.

"Wait-what are you talking about? Another creepy what?" Kurt asked.

"Nothing, it was just some prank. Don't worry about it. I'll see you later," Santana said as she turned into Spanish, leaving Kurt alone and confused.
