Hiding My Love For You

As sophomore year continues on its way to the end, Finn and Santana are still affected by Quinn and Puck's relationship. Whether it really got to them or not it still affected them. Everything else going on in the world didn't seem to be helping them either.

Santana wasn't having all that great of a year. Especially lately. Her parents have been fighting nonstop. One time it got so bad that she and her brother actually packed some clothes and sneaked out of the house. She drove them to Finn's house, where Finn and his mom eagerly took them in, saying how they were already practically family. She smiled a little at the memory. Her little eight year old brother, Carlos, was crying when they got there. They all went up to Finn's room where Carlos pretty much begged Finn to sleep with them on the bed. So Finn was sandwiched in the middle with the Lopez's snuggling into his body. Slowly things got better for the Lopez's family, but they weren't how they were before. As least there was no big fighting at the moment.

Finn was having a hard time everywhere. His heart was still broken from the fact that Quinn and Puck were still together. Basketball season had started and he was being pressured to being at the top of his game. His teachers gave him no sympathy so he was working his butt off so he wouldn't fail any of his classes. And on top of all that his mom was now dating Kurt Hummel's dad, Burt. Not to mention the fact that she's trying to get them to move in with them. Finn was angry and upset that his mom was trying to move them. He grew up in that house, he had memories in that house. His dad lived in that house. It was hard on him.

Things just weren't going right for these teenagers. But they were planning to put on their troubles aside for the time being. They found themselves at the park with the rest of the glee club on a Sunday. Mr. Schue had suggested, more like demanded, that they should get together and have a picnic at the nearby park. They had all agreed, mostly because Schue implied that it was mandatory for them all to go.

It was quiet at the park, considering that there was no one else but the 13 of them.

"Let's get a game going!" Matt exclaimed. The guys were trying to set up a game of 3v3. Just as they were about to get the game started with Finn, Mike, and Mr. Schue on one team and Puck, Matt, and Kurt on the other, the girls interrupted.

"Hey guys! Can we play?" Tina asked for the other girls.

The guys looked at each other and thought the same thing. "Sure. Guys! We're playing two hand touch now." Finn shouted so all would hear.

Mike and Matt then chose which girls they wanted on their team, since they were team captains. Mike chose, Tina, Quinn, and Brittany while Matt picked Santana, Mercedes, and Rachel.

"Can we start the game now?" Puck wondered out loud, sounding a bit annoyed with how long it was actually taking to start the game. They all agreed to finally start. "Alright Artie you're the ref, let us know when you're ready."

During the game, the guys seemed to be a bit scared to hurt the girls even accidentally so the girls used it to their advantage. They played rough on the boys knowing that they wouldn't do anything back. It was close to the end and it was a tie. The next touchdown won the game.

Finn and Mike's team had possession of the ball. Finn was hiked the ball, he turned and handed it off to Quinn who sprinted down the field to the end. When she got there, she threw the football to the ground and did a little victory dance. Their team cheered and ran to praise Quinn. Finn went up and gave her a big hug that lifted her off the ground. He slowly put her down with a big smile on his face.

"Great job, Quinn."

"Thanks, Finn."

Before Finn could say anymore, everyone else had joined them. Including Matt's team. Puck ran over and looked at her and shook his head.

"How could you do that to your own boyfriend, Quinn?" Puck put his hand over his heart and pretended to be hurt.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Puck. Just couldn't help myself." Puck's face out of nowhere changed into a big smile, and we went to grab her. Her pulled her waist to him and gave her a kiss on the lips.

Finn's heart shattered again. He looked over at Santana and saw the same thing. Finn wrapped his arm around her shoulder and led her away from the group and walked to the pond. He sat in front of it and just stared at his reflection in the water. One moment he was happy forgetting all of his problems but one thing changed that. As was she.

They sat down. "It's not going change is it?" Finn asked her. Instead of an answer, Santana just laid her head on his shoulder. The atmosphere around them was nice, calm, and sad.

"Um...Am I interrupting something here?" They turned their heads to see Quinn looking down at them.

"No." Santana and Finn said at the same time. Quinn looked at Finn.

"I'll just go sit over there." With that Santana stood up and walked to the other edge of the water, Puck who was standing behind Quinn, followed her.

Puck took a seat next to her.

"What do you want, Puckerman?" San turned her head so they wouldn't make eye contact.

"Is there something going on between you and Hudson? I mean are you guys like together or something? Don't worry I won't tell anyone if you don't want me to. But I just wanted to know. I mean you guys are always together anyways."

She looked at him as if he grown two heads. "Me and Finn? No, nothing is going on there and I don't think there is going to be anything like that between the two of us."

"And why's that?"

"Why do you need to know?"

"We're friends aren't we? Can't I just know what's going on with a friend, without having any really good reason why I must know?" Puck replied trying to use an innocent voice.

"Fine. If you just have to know. I don't think anything is gonna happen between me and Finn. It would just be weird. I think of Finn as my other brother because he knows everything about him and I love him, just not in that way. Plus Carol is like a second mom to Carlos and me. So like I said it would just be weird. Does that answer satisfy your needs?"

"Yes. Satisfied them very well, thank you very much." Santana just rolled her eyes.


"So is there anything going on with you and Santana?" Quinn asked as soon as she was seated next to Finn on the grass.

"Me and San?" Finn thought.

"Yes you and Santana." Quinn insisted. "Are the two of you together? Like as in a couple?"

Finn was a little shocked that she would think this. He and Santana had talked about getting together before but ruled it out as being two weird. They loved each other, but not romantically. Their love was love for family. Because that's what they were, family, nothing more.

"No, we're not. Why do you ask?"

"I don't know. Just wanted to know?" She tried.

"Quinn..." Finn warned.

"Ok, ok. Well you and Santana spend so much time together and you know each other so well. Almost better than you guys know yourselves. And she stays at your house, borrows your clothes, looks to you for comfort, and all that stuff."

"That's what friends do, Quinn. You and I used to be like that all the time, until high school."

Quinn was speechless. She didn't know what to say because what Finn said was true. They did use to be that close, just not anymore. "So we may have drifted farther apart than we first thought, huh?"

"Yeah. Quinn. This thing doesn't just mend back together after one day. It takes time."

"I have time. What do you say to spending more time together this summer? Try and maybe even get back to or at least close to what we used to have." Quinn suggested.

"I'd like that Quinn. I'd really like that."


So this is the last chapter of their sophomore year. Next chapter I'm thinking of making at the start of junior year. Also, I'm having a little mini crisis at the moment for this story. I know the last chapter made it seem that Santana is getting over Puck but some seem to want Pucktana to be. So I need your guys opinion and input. Who do you want to see in the end? Pucktana or Puck/? and Santana/?. I have some ideas who they can end up with if it's not each other. But if you guys have your own suggestions let me know. So please let me know so I know who and how I can write them. Thanks again! Don't forget to review.
