Hola guys, next chapter time but first... Jaely, no apology needed. the1musiclover, I loved that line too. SilverfoxCFL, Thanks. gaby2angel, I don't blame her, I wouldn't believe if Quinn started singing to song is How To Love by Lil Wayne. I know beggars can't be choosers but for me choose to review to make this old young soul happier.
Santana POV
"What happened to your face?" Quinn asks.
"I don't know what you're talking about, Q." I say.
"I refuse to believe you don't know how you got that."
"I agree Santana, have you seen your face?" Rachel asks holding up a mirror. Don't ask me where she got if from. I look in the mirror and see that my face is starting to swell.
"It's not that bad." I say while I get up to go for some ice because I'd rather the damage not be visible.
When I turn around out of the freezer both of them are right behind me.
"There's something called personal space you know."
"We are aware of that." Rachel says while Quinn just stares at me. "How did you get it?"
"I got it by accident." I say with a sigh.
Then Puck just comes in my house like they never invented doors to knock on or even doorbells to press.
"Santana, I heard what happened." Puck says then he sees me holding the ice pack to my face. "I'm going to kick his ass."
"Whose 'ass' are you going to kick?" Rachel asks.
Before Puck can answer my hand is over his mouth, stopping him from talking.
"Look, I got hit by accident and everybody in here knows that if somebody actually hit me on purpose I wouldn't hesitate kick their ass so can we let it go." I say.
Puck and I stare at each other. "I'll let it go this time." He says and I release a breath I didn't know I was holding.
"Puck you wanted a rematch with Rachel right, so you guys go do that." Quinn says and they leave.
We're both standing and she's just watching me.
"It was Finn wasn't it?" She states more than question.
"Yeah, but it was an accident. Totally worth it though." I reply with a smile.
"I told you not to do anything stupid." She says
"I didn't, he did." I answer back. I feel like a little kid arguing with their mom.
"You caused it though, didn't you?"
"No." She stares at me until I crack. "Yes, I riled him up." I say then look away.
"Why?"
"Because I needed to test something, an old saying to be specific."
"What?"
"That 'assumptions make an ass out of you'." I say and a smile reappears on my face. "Can we let it go now?"
"Okay, but only because I trust that you know what you're doing and I really don't want to find out what you meant by that."
"Oh, but you probably will." I say then leave the kitchen.
:D~Tomorrow~:D
Rachel POV
I think back on yesterday as I make my way to my locker. It really did seem like I was nervous for nothing, Santana's mom was really cool and insisted on me calling her Ms. L.
I open my locker and automatically go for the note resting on my books.
Dear Rachel,
I love your larger than life personality, and your attitude which allows you to show it and be yourself without caring what other people have to say about it.
Clue: I can play musical instruments.
The smile on my face dissolves when I see Finn blazing a trail towards me with a facial expression that does not look pleasant.
"Hello Finn." I say
He just stands there and watches me. I begin to feel uncomfortable so I look away to the students that are shuffling to their class.
"Did you go to Santana's house yesterday?" He asks in a relatively normal tone.
"Yes, why?"
"Were you there that day we were supposed to have our date?"
"Umm... Yes."
"Did you forget about our date?" I hesitate because after each question and answer he seems to get more angry and agitated.
"I-I don't really feel comfortable answering that question." I reply.
"Oh come on Rach, it's just you and me here." He says and I look around and find that the halls are now empty. "Or is that the reason you don't want to answer, because Santana isn't here to back you up."
"What? No, that's not why."
"Then answer the question or would you rather this one. Were you with Santana, at her house causing you to forget we were supposed to have our date?" He asks with anger that was accompanied with sarcasm.
"Fine, yes I forgot but-."
"I can't believe it. You're cheating on me with Santana. Santana's a bitch Rachel, how could you do this to me."
"I'm not cheating on you Finn, and Santana's a nice person-"
"You're defending her. You know what, I don't want to hear this. I'm going to class."He says then walks off.
I don't feel in the mood for class anymore so I go to the auditorium to sit.
Quinn POV
I haven't seen Rachel all morning so as soon as lunch hits I go looking for her. I check the choir room but it's empty so the next room on the list is the auditorium.
I enter and see Rachel sitting at the piano while staring off into space.
"Hey Rach, what's wrong?" I ask as I sit next to her
"Quinn, hi, nothing's wrong."She replies.
"Rachel, you skipped this morning classes and you didn't even want me to skip study hall. Also you're sitting in front of a piano... only sitting, no singing or playing."
"Finn found out that I was at Santana's house and that I actually forgot about the date."
"I guess Santana told him so you didn't have to. How I see it, it would have been worse if you did seeing as though it caused this reaction and you weren't the one who told."
"Yeah but now he thinks I'm cheating on him with her." She says sadly.
"But you aren't."
"I know that, I tried to tell him but he didn't listen."
I reach over and hug her. "It's not your fault, he's just being an ass by assuming things and not even listening to you when you try to clear it up." So this is what she meant.
"I know but-"
"This is a song that makes me feel better when I'm out of it, don't ask me why though because I don't know." I say as a place my hands on the piano keys.
(Quinn, Rachel, Both)
You had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love
How to love
You had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you're a corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love
For a second you were here, now you over there
It's hard not to stare, the way you moving your body
Like you never had a love
Never had a love
I look up from the piano keys and look across to Rachel who is watching me intently and smiling
When you was just a youngin' you looks were so precious
But now you're grown up, so fly it's like a blessing
But you can't have a man look at you for five seconds
Without you being insecure
You never credit yourself, so when you got older
It's seems like it came back ten times over
Now you're sitting here in this damn corner
Looking through all your thoughts and looking over your shoulder
See you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love
How to love
See you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in this corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love
I smile when she joins in singing, I'm pretty sure she doesn't know the song though
For a second you were here, now you over there
It's hard not to stare, the way you moving your body
Like you never had a love
Had a love
Oh, you had a lot of dreams that transformed to visions
The fact that you saw the world, affected all your decisions
But it wasn't your fault, wasn't in your intentions
To be the one here talking to me, be the one listenin'
But I admire your poppin' bottles and dippin'
Just as much as you admire bartending and stripping
Baby so don't be mad, nobody else tripping
You see a lot of crooks and the crooks still crooks
See you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love
How to love
I stop singing and watch her sing the rest of the choras on her own
See you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in this corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love
We lock eyes and I sing the bridge
Oh, see I just want you to know, that you deserve the best
You're beautiful, you're beautiful, yeah
And I want you to know, you're far from the usual
Far from the usual
You see you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love
How to love, mmm
See you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in this corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love, mmm,
See you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love
How to love
Yeah, see you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in this corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love, mmm
We're still staring at each other when the song ends and I unconsciously start moving towards her.
"Berry, you alive!" Santana shouts from the doorway with a smirk, breaking the trance.
Fuck, I'm going to kill her. I internally groan because I know she was watching and wilfully interrupted seeing how she was leaning on the doorway, the only thing that would make it more obvious is if she had a bag of popcorn.
"I like your voice Quinn and thanks no one ever sung to cheer me up." Rachel says still watching me.
"Umm...Thanks and no problem, I'd sing for you anytime." I say with a smile.
We get up and walk to the door, I glare a Santana from the piano to the door.
"Berry we're getting lunch together we'll meet you in the cafeteria, seems like Q has something to tell me." Santana says.
Rachel nods then leaves.
"Why the fuck would you do that?"
"What stop you from doing something stupid? You'd have only complicated the situation if you kissed her and it's already complicated enough."
"How do you know that?"
"Really Quinn? She's still dating Finn who earlier today went bat shit on her, she's getting notes from a 'secret admirer', she learned she doesn't love Finn as much as she thinks. Clearly one of her good friends wanting to mack on her wouldn't make shit hit the fan."
"I was so close." I mumble.
"I know but trust me, if you start you wouldn't want to stop then she'll feel bad for cheating on Finn and leave you high and dry." She says as she walks out.
I follow behind her and wonder just how complicated her relationship or lack thereof with Brittany was.
Don't be mad at me or Santana for breaking up the moment but my hands have a mind of their own, be happy I didn't have the heart to leave you hanging when Quinn started making a move. The song wasn't suppose to be a duet but just from reading the word the mind was influenced. Till next week :P
