AN: I own nothing. Glee belongs to Fox and RIB.
This is sort of AU. There will be parts from season 2 though.
Here is the next chapter. This one is duets with a little Puckleberry friendship. This one tells us how Gregorio proposed to Shelby.
Also Pezberry bonding.
I hope you enjoy.
CHAPTER 11
It was Rachel and Santana's turn to perform their duet and as much as Santana wanted the Breadstix dinner she wanted to make things right with Brittany.
Santana stood with Rachel at the front of the room and grabbed an acoustic guitar. Rachel stood by the piano after asking Brad to let her use it.
"We are aware that this was not a duet and so I made it so that it would fit mine and Satan's-I mean Santana's vocal range." Rachel glared at Santana who narrowed her eyes at her. "So I hope you appreciate my hard work." Rachel said sitting down.
"I did work." Santana huffed.
"No, you pelted me with paper and then proceeded to make a sandwich that had an inch thick worth of animal carcass." Rachel glared.
Santana just glared at her before turning to the others. "This is for someone I hurt and they know who they are." Santana said casting a glance at Brittany hoping she got it. And by the smile she knew she did.
"Then why is Rachel singing?" Finn asked. "Or is she going to just play the piano?"
"I am singing Finn. To someone I care a lot about, most of the song is for Santana get something off her chest and there are parts that mean something to me." Rachel said with a dreamy look before looking down at the piano keys.
Finn smirked. He knew she'd come back.
Rachel and Santana began playing with the band.
(Rachel/Santana/Both)
Ten miles from town and I just broke down
Spittin' out smoke on the side of the road
I'm out here alone just tryin' to get home
To tell you I was wrong but you already know
Believe me I won't stop at nothin'
To see you so I've started runnin'
Brittany smiled. She knew this song. And she knew it was about someone running back to try and make things right.
All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughing with you
I'm thinkin' that all that still matters is love ever after
After the life we've been through
'Cause I know there's no life after you
Santana looked over at Brittany and could tell that she understood what she was trying to say. Rachel cast a glance at Quinn and smiled. Quinn returned it happily.
Last time we talked, the night that I walked
Burns like an iron in the back of my mind
I must've been high to say you and I
Weren't meant to be and just wasting my time
Oh, why did I ever doubt you?
You know I would die here without you
Finn grinned smugly as the song progressed. He always knew he would get Rachel back. He just had to wait. And now the waiting was done.
All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughing with you
I'm thinkin' that all that still matters is love ever after
After the life we've been through
'Cause I know there's no life after you
Santana put her heart and soul into the next part belting it out with a passion to rival Rachel's.
You and I, right or wrong, there's no other one
After this time I spent alone
It's hard to believe that a girl with sight could be so blind
Thinkin' 'bout the better times, must've been outta my mind
So I'm runnin' back to tell you
Santana smiled softly as she continued. She did it. She would actually say the words to apologize later but right now. She knew she had done it. She had her back.
All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
Without you God knows what I'd do
It was no secret that Brittany was Santana's rock. As ditzy as the blonde was she knew Santana the best out of anyone in this school. And seeing Santana cranky these past few days people could only imagine what she was really capable of had she not had Rachel to lean on. No matter how much the two grinded on each other's nerves.
All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughing with you
I'm thinkin' that all that still matters is love ever after
After the life we've been through
'Cause I know there's no life after you
The room applauded them and they stood from the piano bench and stool bowing.
Brittany was about to say something when Finn spoke up first.
"I accept your apology Rachel. It was wrong of you to break up with me. I'll pick you up at seven for dinner?" Finn asked and Rachel scowled. He reminded her of Jesse.
The whole club was silent. Quinn was glaring daggers and if looks could kill Finn would be chopped to pieces and thrown into a fire.
Santana handed the guitar to one of the band members. She was too calm. Rachel saw this and at the exact moment Santana charged at Finn Rachel wrapped her arms around the raging Latina's waist holding her back.
"Let me go! I'm about to go all Lima heights on this son of a puta!" Rachel was strong for such a small girl.
At least that's what the club thought as she continued to hold Santana back but even though Rachel had her feet planted Santana was still moving her. Quinn just watched. She had no reason to hold Santana back. She wanted Finn to get what he deserved.
Rachel threw a desperate look towards Mike and Sam who jumped up and helped hold Santana back.
"Damn this chick is strong!" Sam grunted as he and Mike each grabbed an arm but Santana shook them off and began using her hands to shout. They wrapped around her mid-section.
"Esa canción fue para Brittany idiota! La mejor vuelta de mi familia antes de rasgar sus cojones!" (That song was for Brittany you asshole! You best back off my family before I rip your balls off!) Santana screamed and Mr. Schue flinched at the venom and malice in her words.
"Santana!" He shouted but Santana wasn't finished.
"Usted no se merece su pedazo de mierda! Así que se mantenga alejado de ella! Debo terminar de arruinar algo que me pidió que me hecho por Britts!" (You don't deserve her you piece of shit! So stay away from her! I should end you for ruining something I asked to get done for Britts!)
At hearing her name Brittany was snapped out of her daze and rushed to Santana. She grabbed one of Santana's flailing arms and forced her to open her fist. Brittany intertwined their fingers. "San, I loved it." Brittany said and just like that all of Santana's fight was gone.
"Really?"
Brittany beamed and nodded. "Really. I can't imagine a life without you." Brittany smiled.
Santana smiled and held up her pinky. Brittany happily linked her own to it and they sat in the back.
Rachel sighed as Mike and Sam returned to their seats. Rachel went to take her own seat when Finn stood.
"What the hell? You love me!" He bellowed.
"Once. I did and truly loved you. But I moved on Finn. It is in your best interests that you do the same." Rachel said going over to sit next to Quinn.
"Then who the fuck was that song for? And what parts were for them?" Finn shouted throwing his hands up and in a normal him fashion kicked a chair and seethed.
"You best calm the fuck down Hudson." Santana said from her spot next to Brittany. "I will have no trouble joining Puck in juvie for beating you half to death." Brittany frowned at this but Santana patted her shoulder.
"You shut up Santana! If you hadn't blabbed to Rachel about our hook up she would still be mine! What did she do that made you tell her? Did you two fuck each other over the summer? Is that it? Or is it because both your parents kicked you out and you're sharing a place? Which one damn it? We're meant to be together Rachel!" Finn bellowed.
"Finn! That's enough!" Mr. Schue boomed. "Go cool off!" he demanded pointing to the door.
Finn kicked over a few chairs on his way out and slammed the door behind him.
"He's mean." Brittany said laying her head on Santana's shoulder.
Everyone could see that the two brunettes had tensed up during Finn's ranting and shouting.
"Rachel, Santana are you two alright?" Mr. Schue asked.
The brunettes looked at each other. They had perfected talking through their eyes over the summer. They turned to him and nodded.
"So what is going on between ya'll?" Mercedes asked.
"None of any of your business." Brittany said standing up and pulling Santana with her. "We're leaving Mr. Schue." Brittany said as she nodded at Quinn who nodded back and took Rachel's hand leading her out of the room.
"He did what?" Puck boomed jumping from his seat.
"Cool it Puckerman." Santana said as Puck sat down. Rachel looked over at the guard letting him know it was ok.
"I can't believe him." Puck growled.
"Take care of it later. Right now, let's focus. How have you been?" Santana asked.
"Well, I was waiting for Rachel to come visit but imagine my surprise when you show up with her Satan. I thought everyone forgot about me." Puck smirked and Santana rolled her eyes.
"Haven't forgotten yet." Santana smiled.
"Neither have we!" Brittany grinned skipping over to them with Quinn in tow.
Puck's face lit up a thousand watts as he saw Quinn was carrying Beth in her arms.
"She misses you." Quinn says handing Beth to him. "We all do." Quinn says motioning to her, Brittany, Santana and Rachel.
"Thanks for bringing her Q." Puck said cooing at her.
"No problem. As long as you promise to do better when you get out." Quinn said. "Starting with a job and letting Rachel tutor you and that doesn't mean frustrate her till she does it for you." Quinn said when she saw a mischievous smile creep onto his face.
"Aww." Puck shrugged. "I can do that." He said as Beth smiled at him. "How are things on the outside?" Puck asked.
"The same other than Finn." Quinn answered.
"I'll handle him when I get out." Puck said.
"Please don't do something that will put you back here. I had to argue with a judge Noah Puckerman." Rachel glowered and Puck frowned.
"Fine." He said smiling down at Beth.
When it came time to go Puck was sad to see Beth go but Quinn assured him that he had weekends to make up. Indicating that he would be taking her during the week when he got out.
The girls went to the Lopez-Corcoran-Berry house and kicked back in the living room.
They were in the middle of a movie when Shelby walked in on the phone. She was actually screaming down it.
"There is nothing to talk about! I already made the decision. If you don't like it you can hit the road!" Shelby shouted hanging her phone up. She looked into the living room and blushed in embarrassment. "Oh, uh…hi girls."
"Bad day?" Rachel asked.
"My choreographer thinks he can veto my decisions and I was setting him straight." Shelby scowled at her phone. She shook her head. "What would you girls like for dinner?" Shelby asked. She raised up her hand. "Rachel, what would you like for dinner? Santana's ordering in from Breadstix." Shelby said and Santana grinned.
"Don't worry about me. I'll make something later." Rachel said and Shelby nodded.
"I'll be in the study." Shelby said walking off.
The four looked at each other before giggling and going back to their movie.
