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.

So I figured I would get this and 'Flowers' done before returning to the other that way my mind can get a break and not mix everything up.

Also I would love some prompts for one shots. PM me or hit me up on Tumblr. Musickfreak9864 dot tumblr dot com.

I hope you enjoy.


CHAPTER 12

Sam and Quinn were the last to perform their duet. Artie and Brittany dropped out and therefore no others.

Santana was enjoying this. She could see the loving looks Quinn kept shooting Rachel's way and her grin only grew when she saw the jealous looks of Rachel directed at Sam. She was going to have a talk with her soon to be step-sister when they got home.

Brittany could practically see the wheel turning in her…girlfriend's? head. She didn't know what they were right now. Santana told her she loves her but she hasn't said anything else. Brittany smiles when she sees another loving look thrown Rachel's way and giggles when she sees the glare Rachel is giving Sam.

Once the last of the duets are done Mr. Schue asks them to vote.

"By one vote Sam and Quinn win." Mr. Schue announces and before Santana can shoot up and protest Rachel is holding her down.

"It's ok." Rachel says. "I'll buy you some on the way home." Rachel says and Santana nods.

The exchange didn't go unnoticed by Finn who just had to make a scene.

"You're buying her breadstix now? Is that how she puts out?"

Santana clenched her fist. Rachel was finally tired. She couldn't take it anymore. He needed to shut up. But she wanted to wait till after the wedding.

"Do it in Spanish." She whispered as she stood and offered her hand to Brittany. "Come on Brittany. I'm suddenly not feeling well." Rachel said and Brittany frowned. She knew that Rachel was doing it so Santana could hit Finn and Rachel knew how much Brittany hated seeing Santana violent.

Quinn was torn. While she wanted to watch Santana beat the hell out of Finn she wanted to check on Rachel. Sam touched her shoulder and held his phone up.

"I got it. Go check on your girl."

Quinn smiled. Sam was a nice guy. He got to know Quinn during the assignment and Quinn confided in him her feelings towards the diva. She thanked him softly and headed after Brittany and Rachel.

Quinn found them at the blonde's locker. "Hey, are you two ok?" Quinn asked.

"Yeah. I'm tired of him asking." Rachel sighed.

"Well if it will make you feel better Sam is filming it." Quinn offered offhandedly.

Brittany frowned and Rachel sighed heavier.

"I do not condone violence, but I shall view the video at a later time. Can you go get Santana?" Rachel asked and Quinn nodded.

"You should tell her." Brittany said confusing Rachel and it showed on her face. "That you love her." Rachel gave her a look. "Your eyes show it." She pointed and Rachel smiled sadly. "Don't be sad. She feels the same." Brittany said and Rachel's eyes widened. "Oops. S told me not to tell. Don't tell her."

"I won't." Rachel promised with a smile. Quinn felt the same. Now to woo her.


Santana and Rachel were on dishes duty that night. Rachel washed and Santana dried.

As Rachel passed Santana a plate she noticed the bruises on Santana's knuckles. "Are you ok?" Rachel asked nodding at them.

Santana looked down at them and chuckled. "Yeah. They're just bruised. Don't worry about it."

"You didn't have to."

"Then why did you let me?" Santana retorted.

"Because I couldn't wait for Noah to get back to take care of it and I was angry." Rachel answered.

"Well Quinn went after you." Santana smirked nudging her and wiggling her eyes suggestively.

"How long have you known?" Rachel asked.

"What do you mean?" Santana asked placing another dish in the dish washer. She knew what Rachel was asking. She just wanted to hear her say it.

"How long have you known that I've liked Quinn and that Quinn likes me?" Rachel asked and Santana laughed softly and amusingly.

"Brittany?" Rachel nodded. "I've known for a while. You only solidified my suspicions today in glee with the glaring and her loving looks." Santana said.

"I don't know what to do." Rachel sighed dejectedly.

"Let her do it. If you plan on wooing her let her do it." Santana said and Rachel looked up at her confused. "I can see the gears turning Rachel. Let Quinn woo you. You might be surprised." Santana smiled.

"Ok." Rachel said as they set to finish the rest of the dishes.


Puck was set to return to McKinley and Rachel couldn't have been happier. She went with his mother and sister to pick him up for school from juvie. Puck cares about a few things in live. His rep, his friends but if you asked him what he loved he would give you a simple answer. And it wouldn't be sex. He loved sex but the things he loved the most would be his family. You can mess with the other things but the second you crossed into anything that could hurt his family he would end you.

He agreed to the community service and the tutoring from Rachel. He tried not to laugh when they walked past a scowling Finn sporting a shiner.

Quinn was at a loss. Puck was back and she had heard from Santana that he was practically glued to the petite diva's side.

"So they're together all the time!" Santana exclaimed shrugging as if it was no big deal. "So what? Doesn't mean they're an item. You needs to focus more on wooing my sister and less about who she spends her time with." Santana said and Quinn was taken back.

"What?" Had she just referred to Rachel Berry as her sister? Better yet how long has she known?

"I can see the way you look at her. Had this been any time before summer I would have laughed and punched the idiot who said Rachel Berry would be part of my family. But she is and so you better take care of her and treat her the way she deserves or Beth will never know her mother." Santana warned walking away. She would never harm Quinn or do that to Beth. She just wanted to make sure Quinn understood her.

Quinn smiled. She knew her best friend. So she knew the HBIC and the true friend underneath. She was sorting through her iPod trying to find a song.

Quinn scrolled through her Taylor Swift and Kelly Clarkson. Demi Lovato and Adele. She went through Lady A to Lady Gaga and Carrie Underwood and even considered Celine Dion. She scrolled through Daughtry and Katy Perry. She scrolled through P!nk and David Archuleta. She scrolled through Colbie Caillat and smiled. She found the song.

She asked Santana and Brittany for their opinion of the song and they smiled.

"Get your girl Q."

Quinn blushed at the Latina's words and went to rehearse with the band.


When glee came around Puck was welcomed back with applause and before Quinn could announce that she had a song Finn stood up.

"Mr. Schue. I have a song I want to sing." He said and Mr. Schue who was pro Finn treating the boy like his spoiled son motioned to the center of the room and let him do what he wanted as usual.

"Rachel, this is for you. I know I've been a jerk lately and I hope you can forgive me." He nodded to the band who began playing.

Oh I had a lot to say, was thinking on my time away
I missed you and things weren't the same
'Cause everything inside it never comes out right
And when I see you cry, it makes me want to die

Livid didn't even describe Quinn and Santana. Rachel maybe. But Santana and Quinn were pissed. This boy couldn't be any stupider. After everything he said he thinks Rachel will come back to him?

I'm sorry I'm bad, I'm sorry you're blue
I'm sorry about all things I said to you
And I know, I can't take it back.
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds
And baby, the way you make my world go round
And I just wanted to say, I'm sorry

Puck clenched his fists and glared at the man child.

This time I think, I'm to blame
It's harder to get through the days
You get older and blame turns to shame
'Cause everything inside it never comes out right
And when I see you cry, it makes me want to die

Even Kurt had to agree that his step-brother was an idiot. And the only stupider thing that could be done after this was if Rachel went back to him.

I'm sorry I'm bad, I'm sorry you're blue
I'm sorry about all things I said to you
And I know, I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds
And baby, the way you make my world go round
And I just wanted to say, I'm sorry

Rachel was listening intently. She could always tell when it came to music. She could tell if what Finn was singing was true by the way he was singing. The tone he was singing in. the pitch was good. But she could sense there was something else there. Something that wasn't right.

Every single day, I think about how we came all this way
The sleepless nights and the tears you cried
It's never too late to make it right
Oh yeah

Rachel looked Finn in the eyes. Brittany was right. Your eyes give you away. Finn didn't mean it fully. Yes he wanted Rachel back but that something else she saw was jealousy. He was jealous of her and Puck. Her and Santana. He wanted to be the center of her attention.

Sorry
I'm sorry I'm bad, I'm sorry you're blue
I'm sorry about all things I said to you
And I know, I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds
And baby, the way you make my world go round
And I just wanted to say, I'm sorry

He wanted that love sick puppy back. Well he wasn't going to get it. You don't spend almost your whole summer with Santana Lopez and not learn some new things.

"So? What do you say?" Finn asked and all eyes were on her.

Quinn was pleading with all the higher powers that Rachel would say no.

Santana couldn't believe Rachel was actually hesitating to tell the giant to fuck off.

Brittany was confused. If Rachel loved Quinn then why was she taking so long to reject Finn?

Puck watched the petite girl intensely. Was she really going to accept the apology and get back together with the boy?

Sam was hoping the small girl would reject Finn. He needed to be taken down a few notches. Off and on the football field. Plus he would really hate to see Quinn get hurt.

Kurt rolled his eyes. Of course Rachel was going to get back together with Finn. It was the same thing over and over again. But he saw something different this time. He noticed what others didn't but that was because he could see it clearly. Rachel's fist was clenched and her jaw set firmly shut as if she was trying not to shout.

"Well?"

Rachel got up and left. There was no storm out. No shouting. No anything. She just walked out.

"Rachel wait!" Finn called as he went after her.

"I have to see this." Santana said linking pinkies with Brittany and following.

Sam nudged Quinn and jerked his head towards the door offering Quinn his hand. She nodded and he helped her to his feet.

Puck was right behind Finn so the rest of the club followed.

They found Finn and Rachel at Finn's locker. Rachel was turning the combination into the lock and pulling the locker open.

"Rachel what are you doing?" Finn asked as Rachel looked through the locker. She took down the cat calendar she made and scowled at it. Was she really that blinded?

Rachel ripped it in half and tossed it in the nearest trash bin. She grabbed a few things she noticed were gifts from her and tossed them out as well.

"What the hell?" Finn shouted trying to stop Rachel but Puck stopped him.

"Touch her and you'll regret it." He warned with a look that could rival Quinn and Santana's HBIC glares put together.

Rachel finished cleaning out the locker of things that in the slightest resembled the two of them as a couple and turned to Finn.

"We are over. I don't know how many times I have to tell you that. But we are over. You and I are never going to get back together. I don't have any kind of romantic feelings for you and I will never get any in the future. Friendship is all we can ever have but if you continue to try and win me back we won't have anything."

And with that Rachel executed a perfect Rachel Berry storm out.
