"QUINN's POV
"You didn't have to come, Quinn." I gave Rachel an annoyed look.
"You're not the only one who cares for her Rach." I said it in a firm voice. I get that she's disappointed with me or mad but she can't seriously think that I'll stay. This is Santana we're talking about.
"No offense, but I don't think her seeing you will do any good." I let out a sigh. What's her problem?
Puck is silently driving while Sam pretends not to listen. I count one to ten before I respond to Rachel.
"I know it's my fault okay? But I couldn't just leave Charlie for her. Believe me if I can, I would."
"You can't or you won't? Because Quinn I've seen a lot of things that you've done and this.. this situation with Santana is not that hard. Just choose one and let go of the other." Her tone is icy now. I could tell that she's starting to lose control of her temper.
"Why, so you could catch San after when she breaks?" I shout at her. Fuck control, I'm mad and frustrated with this. "You're so pathetic in thinking she will fall in love with you!"
"Umm, girls.." Sam said.
"Shut up!" we both yelled at him. He then turned to Puck for help.
"Don't look at me bro. I'm driving." He's frowning but he knew too well not to get in the middle of the two when they're both crazy mad.
"Excuse me! You're the one who's pathetic because you can't even fight for her!" her face turns red because of anger.
"Oh..I did! But my conceited father threatened her life! So excuse me if I choose to save her life than be happy!" Puck pulled over then stepped on the breaks because of what I've said. They are all looking at me right now with horrified faces. I sighed. "He found out that I was planning on leaving Charlie two years ago to get back with San, so he told me that if I'll do that he'll not think twice to.. to kill..h-her. So I had to lie to San that I chose to stay because he has no one else."
"That asshole!" Puck cursed. "I'm gonna kill him!"
"Don't bother, he died of cancer two months ago." I just said as if it was nothing. "He said he doesn't care if he'll die in prison."
"Oh." Sam said.
"Sorry." Rachel whispered.
"I don't care. I'll kill him again." Puck exclaimed. We all looked at him annoyed. "What? That guy crushed the happiness of my two girls."
"Puck please just drive, it's getting late and Santana is still not picking up her phone."
"Turn left Puck, I think there's a club in there." I directed him.
SANTANA's POV
"Not bad blondie." I smirked at her after we danced. We both got tired and decided to have more drinks.
She just laughs at me. It's the first time I noticed her dimples and it's kinda cute. Maybe I should be nicer to her, she's been a great company for a while now. Maybe she's not after sex.
She leaned over to say something because the sounds are too loud. "Do you want to get out of here?"
I shook my head in disbelief. I was about to say some hurtful words at her when she leaned again.
"Look, there's a 24 hours diner across the street. I'm starving. Please?" I was not able to hold my laughter when I saw her pleading eyes. I felt relieved to know she only wants to eat.
I finished my drink then nod at her. There's a huge smile on her face and I can't help but wonder how a total stranger can make me feel safe. I followed her out of the bar and suddenly duck my head on the car which is parked in front of us. I saw Rachel stepped out of the car followed by Quinn and Sam.
Great! Just when I'm starting to forget the pain a little.
"Shit!" I exclaimed then see Elle standing in front of me blocking my view of the car, confused. She looks at the cause of my sudden action. Her brow arched and there's a smirk on her face. I kept my head low while looking for my phone in my purse.
"Are you a criminal or something?" my head shoot up at her and saw her still smiling at me. I just ignored her and focus my attention to my mission.
When I successfully find the damn phone, I quickly type in a message for Rachel.
I'm ok, stop luking. I'll be back 2morow. Just nid time alone. –S
"So how long are we gonna stay here?" she looks bored while sitting at the hood of a car while I keep an eye at Quinn's car. "You promised me food, you know."
"Just shut up, okay?" I snapped at her but soon regretted it when I saw she was hurt. I know she was just trying to light the mood but I am too nervous to respond nicely.
"Fine, you don't have to be a bitch all the time." Then she jumps off the car. She's heading to the diner across the street. I feel guilty and I want to apologize to her for snapping like that. She's been good to me all night and I know she doesn't deserve that. But I can't let them see me.
After few seconds I saw an irritated Rachel and Quinn went out of the club. Quinn looked round, her gaze lingered for a while at my direction. My heart melts seeing that tired and worried look on the face. I hid my head more, scared that she will see me.
Sam calls her attention then she steps inside the car. I ignored Rachel's calls and just watch as Puck starts to drive away. I let out a sigh of relief and then I remembered Elle.
QUINN's POV
I am looking around the crowded bar hoping to spot Santana here. I'm starting to have a headache because of the flickering lasers but I compose myself. I decided to ask the bartender and show him a picture of San when suddenly someone taps my shoulder. Rachel handed me her phone and saw a text message from Santana.
I'm ok, stop luking. I'll be back 2morow. Just nid time alone. –S
I quickly look around hoping she's just here hiding from us. But when Rachel motioned for us to get out the bar, I surrendered looking.
When we reach outside and wait for Puck with the car, I have a strange feeling that someone is looking at me. I looked around and feel where it is coming from and then my eyes are glued to the dark parking lot. I'm about to walk towards it when Sam asked me to get inside the car.
Once Puck starts to drive, I can see Rachel trying again to call her but still no luck.
"Urg! I swear she's a pain in the ass sometimes." Rach said irritated while focusing her frustrations on her phone.
"If she wants to take your call, she would have answered it by now." I calmly told her then let out a deep sigh.
We remained silent inside the car. No one wants to talk, we're focused on looking outside the window hoping we would see Santana walking on the streets.
"Quinn?" Rachel said in a low voice. I look at her and wait for her to continue. "Please, let her go. She doesn't deserve this. If you won't choose her then just set her free." I could see her eyes glittering. It's not a question or even a request.
"I'm not the one holding her back." Just thinking about Santana out of my life feels like my world stops rotating and nothing makes sense anymore.
"But you're not practically telling her to go too. You kept on telling her how you wanted to choose her but do otherwise. She thinks you're just confused and that's what keeps her from going." She pauses then squeezes my hand. "Tell her to live her life without you. Don't keep her waiting for you Quinn." There's a sudden feel of pain shooting through my heart with her words.
I look away and let the tears freely fall down. I hate it when Rachel is right. I know I can't let Santana wait for me forever but I don't have the strength to let her go, again.
SANTANA's POV
I push the door open and look around the diner. I plastered a smile then walk towards the blonde woman who silently sits in the corner table.. She's so focused on playing with her fries that's why she didn't see me sliding on the chair across her.
Her brow arched and I could see she's irritated but I shrug it out.
"You were not kidding when you told me you're hungry." I said trying to ease the mood. I sigh when she didn't respond. "Sorry, I was just nervous a while ago." I explained trying to show her the sincerity in my voice.
She let out a deep sigh then she drinks her juice. When she finally looks at me she still has this serious face. I waited for her to speak up.
"Look, from the moment I saw you drinking there I noticed there's something odd about you. You would flirt with women and men in there but brush them off as soon as things get heated. So I figured you're either heartbroken or someone died so me being a good Samaritan offers to accompany you for tonight. I have no intentions of taking advantage of you, if that's what you're thinking." I'm about to say something but she raise her finger gesturing for me not to interrupt her. "I'm just here until the weekend so I'm the perfect tool for you to forget even just for tonight. I don't live here and you won't see me anymore. I could be a friend or I could be more than that." She stopped and gauges if I'm following what's she said.
I was shock at first, come on, who wouldn't be? She's practically letting me decide to choose over having a friend tonight or having a one-night-stand. Besides alcohol, crazy one night stands makes me forget a little.
"I don-.." she cuts me off.
"I'm done eating. So we could talk here as 'friends' or we could go to my hotel room." She looks at me expectantly.
I thought hard of what I'm going to answer. She's fucking serious with all of this shit.
"Are you a serial killer who picks up hot women?" I narrowed my eyes at her trying to read her expression. She burst out laughing. She shook her head then stand up. After making a few steps, she turns around to me confused.
"Why are you still sitting there?" she asked grinning.
"I haven't made my decision yet." I lied. i don't want to sound so eager. I have a reputation.
"Yes you have when you asked if I'm a serial killer." Then she walks out smiling.
I shook my head in disbelief how she could easily read me. I followed her outside and stand beside her while waiting for a cab. She's not that bad.
I hope you enjoyed this one. :)
I think I finally know how to end this.. Tell me what you think? Good, bad or worse?
Laters..^_^
