Still in the writing mood! So here ya go! Enjoy!
I climbed into the limo and sat down next to Finn as Santana slid in beside me and shut the door.
The car began to move and we were now leaving the school and headed toward the Halloween party.
I watched as everyone started talking to the people beside them. I saw Finn looking at me from the corner of my eye and pretended not to notice.
I looked to the side of me at Santana; she stared out the window looking at nothing in particular it seemed, just trying to take herself out of the car she now found herself. A small frown was starting to form on her face. I wanted to reach out and take her hand; but I didn't.
I looked back toward the front of the car and noticed that Puck was staring at Santana. I saw him looking back and forth from her to the conversation he was having with Mike.
I didn't like the smirk he wore on his face as he stared at her. It was almost possessive, like he was playing some kind of game with her.
He called out suddenly, "Hey, Santana!"
She ignored him.
"Santana, come here!" His voice beckoned her to him; but not in a nice romantic way. It was almost a command.
I really didn't like it.
"You're Puck right?" I nearly shouted pushing my hand out toward him.
He looked a little confused but reached out and grasped my hand. "Yes, and who might you be?"
"I'm Brittany"
He looked over at Finn, "So this is your date huh?" he smiled looking to me again. "She's very pretty." I could tell he meant it as a compliment but I wasn't at all interested and I wanted him to know that.
"Thanks but you're not my type." I smirked. He just winked in return and looked back to Mike.
"He's right, you are." He smiled and when I didn't return the compliment he just went on. "He can be kind of a lot. I fully apologize for anything he may do tonight."
"Yeah he seems like kind of a trouble maker." I smiled at Finn trying to be somewhat a good date.
"Yeah, he gets into his fare share of messes but I think all around he's not that bad of a guy."
"We'll see…" I turned away from him and looked over at Santana. She must have seen me looking, just like I'd seen Finn, and peered over at me.
My right hand rested on the seat between us and I watched her move hers down from her lap to cover mine. She gave my hand a small squeeze 'Thank you' she mouthed and then looked back out the window. I wondered what had happened that had made things so bad between the two, although, now having met him, it wasn't hard to imagine.
We arrived sooner than I'd expected. I heard the bumping of the bass coming from the music at the dance and soon enough I could see the stage where the dj was playing and a bunch of kids were dancing along.
Santana was out as soon as the car stopped and I followed just a quickly.
We waited as everyone exited the limo. Finn came to stand beside me and Santana, clutching his arms to his chest, trying to push away the cold.
Rachel and Quinn came to stand on the other side of Santana and me and after everyone gathered together Rachel spoke. "So I don't know about all of you but Quinn and I are going to go check out the Hayrides." She looked back at Quinn, smirking secretly and I knew they just wanted an excuse to get away from the group and snuggle up next to each other.
"Oh! Us too!" Tina said grabbing Mike's hand.
"Well I'm headed to the dance floor!" Puck announced and sauntered off alone toward the crowd of people.
"Baby, I wanna dance!" Mercedes said to Sam and he followed her off in the same direction Puck had gone.
"What about you guys?" Quinn asked, looking from Santana, to me, to Finn. "You want to come to the Hayrides with us?"
"Uhh no thanks" I said and then quickly looked toward Finn, "I mean if that's okay with you. I was hoping to check out the Haunted House first."
He nodded in agreement and we waved to the two couples and they skipped off. "You wanna come with us?" I asked, hoping she would say yes.
Sadly she just shook her head. "No I'll just hang with these guys." She said slinging her arms around Blaine and Kurt's shoulders.
"Fantastic!" Blaine said returning her light embrace.
"I'm starved! How about we go get some food first?" Kurt asked the two of them.
"Sounds good!" Santana said.
As she walked past me she teasingly whispered "I wouldn't want to ruin your date." And followed after Blaine and Kurt toward the food area.
The Haunted House had been pretty cool. It had ended when a man wearing all black came out of nowhere with a chainsaw and chased me out the exit. I swear I'd never been so frightened in my life.
Finn had laughed as we escaped harm's way "Wow! That was scary! Even my heart's racing." He said touching his hand to his chest.
"What would you like to do now?" When we'd entered the Haunted House it's just been getting dark, now the sky was a dark blue and the temperature had dropped a little.
I shivered as the wind suddenly whipped past me, "Actually, I'd like to go get some hot cider, warm up a bit."
"Sound like a plan to me."
I let my eyes wander over all the faces we passed on our way down the hill but I caught no sight of any of our friends.
Finn and I walked toward the stands near the dance floor and both grabbed a cup of hot apple cider.
I let it warm in up my hands as I blew away the steam rising from the hot liquid.
"So how long have you been going to Dalton?" I asked him, taking a sip of cider.
"Even since I was a freshman actually, my mom met Kurt's dad when we were in junior high and after they got married we moved into the Dalton school district."
"Kurt's your brother!"
He laughed, "Yeah, just a step brother, but we are pretty close."
My opinion of Finn went up. He seemed nice and genuine, very caring. If I wasn't completely into girls he would be the type of guy I'd want to date.
"What about you? What brought you to Dalton?"
I was surprised when the conversation turned to my mother. I felt the familiar pain as I remembered the reason, "I just need a change."
He seemed content with that answer and just left it at that; thankfully.
"Hey Finn! Brittany!" I heard a guys voice call to us from across the dance floor. When I looked over I saw it was Puck.
He clumsily made his way over to us and as soon as he reached us I could smell the alcohol.
"What's up guys!" he said stumbling a little; Finn reached out to steady him.
"Whoa man! How much have you had to drink?"
Puck held up two fingers, "Just a little," he laughed swaying from side to side.
"Alright…here take a seat" Finn guided a drunken Puck over to the nearest chair and threw him into it. "You mind staying here while I go get him so water? I'll be quick."
Puck's head was lying against the table and I knew without a doubt that he wasn't going anywhere. "Yeah sure" He nodded and rushed off immediately.
I took the seat next to Puck and waited. He didn't seem to know I was there so I didn't talk to him; I didn't want to talk to him.
All of a sudden he turned his head toward me. "Why does she not like me?" he whispered, eyes still closed.
I didn't say anything hoping he'd forget he asked me anything and fall back asleep. But no such luck. "Santana!" he quietly shouted. "Why doesn't she like me…" he opened his eyes and gazed up at me.
I was surprised at the sound of hurt in his voice. "I don't know." I said simply and he just sighed closing his eyes again.
I looked out at the crowd and saw Finn coming toward us with a bottle of water. As he reached me I realized he wasn't alone.
"Hey Santana," I smiled as she approached with Blaine and Kurt behind her. "Guys"
They said hi to me but all of their eyes went to Puck.
"He got drunk again?" Kurt asked looking irritated.
"Yeah…" Finn confirmed. "Hey Puck! Puck! Drink this" he shoved the open bottle into Puck's hand and made him gulp down some water.
"Hey guys, look out it's your Headmaster" Blaine warned.
I turned around just in time to see the Headmaster come up behind me.
"Hello everyone, are you all enjoying this wonderful party?" He looked suspiciously at Puck and around at our small group.
"Yes," Finn said looking directly at the man who, even as tall as Finn was, appeared to tower over him. "My friend just had something bad to eat; I think I better take him back to the school." As if on cue Puck let out a moan.
"I think that would be a good idea." The big man looked at me and smiled, "Nice to see you again Brittany, hope your night is coming along nicely."
"So far" I smiled.
He walked past me and up to Santana. I watched in surprise and he leaned down and kissed her cheek. "Sweetie, is this your date?" He asked looking to Blaine who stood beside her.
She just glared at him. "No dad, he's just a friend." She said curtly folding her arms over each other and looking the other way.
Dad?
"Don't be rude Santana." He frowned looking embarrassed as if Santana was a three year old having a tantrum. "Well, I have other people to see so I'll leave you kids to your fun. Make sure you get him home." He said to Finn.
He leaned down, placed another kiss on Santana cheek, and walked away.
"That was close." Finn said grabbing Pucks arm and pulling him up out of the chair. Puck could barely stand so Finn had to wrap his arm around his waist to support him. "I better take him home." and the disappointment he felt at that statement was clear.
"That's fine, I understand." He smiled reluctantly.
As he started to drag Puck away from the four of us Puck pulled himself out of Finns arm stumbling and mumbed something that sounded like 'I'm fine'
His drunken eyes opened and locked on me. In his intoxicated condition he didn't seem to care what kind of consequences his actions might have and before I knew it he was pressed up against me, his hand running down my back.
"Hey you're pretty," he said placing his hand on the side of my head. I realized too late his intentions as his lips crashed down onto mine; they were there for only mere moments before I felt his body being ripped back.
"Get away from her!" I heard Santana yell as he went falling to the floor. He held his hands up laughing but didn't say anything to defend himself. "Uh! Finn get him out of here!" She shouted.
"Whoa! Santana! Calm down." Finn picked Puck up off the floor. "Not cool man." He said to Puck and with a look to me that said he was sorry, he left.
After the two were out of sight I walked up to Santana. Her mouth was still bent down in anger, "Thanks for doing that." I whispered quietly to her.
She seemed to forget the anger she had previously been feeling and turned to me a smile now on her face. "Now we're even."
Kurt and Blaine walked over to us not sure what to say after that embarrassing display.
"You guys wanna go to the Hayrides?" I asked just wanting to be somewhere else.
"That sounds great!" Kurt nearly squealed latching onto Blaine's arm. "I call riding with Blaine!" he yelled and we all laughed.
