Chapter Thirteen
"Santana what are you doing here?" Rachel asks staring at her on her front step.
"I am here to break your nose so that I can start a rumor that you and Quinn got into a fight." She walks inside and pops her knuckles.
"As much as I appreciate you trying to assist Quinn and I in our discovery of ourselves, I would like to kindly ask you to refrain from hitting my nose and aim for another part of my body." Backing up against the wall she covers her nose and closing her eyes.
"You know I have realized that I have lost my ghettoness since Britt and I have become official, but that doesn't mean that I don't care about what's left."
"I am very aware of that Santana…"
"No you aren't cause if you were then you and Q would get into a fight or something; did you know that Lauren, Mercedes, and the Asian's have formed a group to see if you two are together?"
"What?"
"Yeah…I've managed to threaten Tina and she warned Mike if she's smart, and Aretha is taken care of, but Lauren isn't budging."
Rachel walks into the living room and sits on the couch staring at the floor, "I don't know what to do."
"I do…get back together with Finn or punch mama bear in the face."
"It's not that easy."
"Sure it is."
"No it's really not Santana."
"Why not?"
"Because Finn and I decided to be single so that I can concentrate on New York."
"And how's that going for you lemon?"
"Look Santana I've never had any feelings for Quinn or any other girls but when I look at her…"
"Do you feel the same way when you look at Finn?"
Standing up she walks over to the window, "this is where Quinn told me she likes me in more than a friend way. When she told me I had…something just turned all warm inside me and for the first time I didn't smile because it was Finn that said it to me. The song he wrote for Nationals was beautifully written, and I knew that it was about me, but I took it a different way. I thought of you and Brittany, Kurt and Blaine…how you guys love each other but might have to hide it when you go out in public; having to hide who you are just to make other people happy. I've told Quinn that she is one of the prettiest girl's I've ever met, but even then I didn't look at her as a romantic partner. All I could think about was going to New York and becoming a famous, wondering if Finn was going to be coming with me as well as Kurt, and how many songs I'm going to sing solo this year. When I started senior year I knew that Finn and I weren't going to be a couple so I felt I had nothing to worry about…and then Quinn and I got partnered together. I got to know who she really is and how she really feels and it made me realize that she is beautiful inside and out. I catch myself thinking about her all the time; her smile, her eyes, her quiet yet old styled voice. I understand that coming from two gay fathers it will probably be expected for myself to come out as being gay, but that is just horrible people out there stereotyping. I love Finn, he was my first true love, but with Quinn…"
"You feel the happiest when you're around her," Santana cuts her off walking behind her folding her arms as well.
"Yeah…and I don't understand why, but I wouldn't want to figure out whatever I'm going through with anyone else with her."
"As much fighting Q and I have done over the past two years, I still consider her a sister of mine. If you two tell anyone that I'm helping you though I will deny it and then have my dad fix your teeth." The smiling Latina walks out as Rachel heavily exhales.
"Finn…what are you doing here?" Quinn asks as he walks inside her house.
"I heard something the other day and I know that if I ask you you'll tell me the truth since we're not dating anymore."
"Okay let's go in the living room," she leads him and they sit. "So what did you hear?"
"Are you and Rachel dating?"
"What?" She laughs and lowers her head smirking at the thought of her and Rachel actually becoming a couple.
"Yeah I heard from someone that you two are hooking up and I just wanted to come here and hear you say the word no so that I can go tell them that I heard it straight from the cows mouth…or whatever that saying is."
"Well I can assure you that we are not dating mostly because Rachel's a girl and so am I. You two are on a nine month break and then you are going to get back together and everything will be okay."
"I don't know cause like…she's different; I've asked her out to Breadsticks and she said no, she gives me one worded answers when I text her."
"Do you love her?"
"Of course I do."
"Then if it's meant to be come June you will be graduating with her and right from there you two will fly to New York together."
"So you and her…"
"We are friends writing two songs together so that we can finally win and feel good about ourselves."
"Okay…no reason for you to lie to me this time so I believe you." He gets up and leaves. Staying seated, Quinn pulls out her phone and tosses it from hand to hand shaking her leg up and down. "I can't do this right now; my song is done so write yours and I will look at it two weeks before Sectionals even though I'm sure it'll be fine…I'm sorry."
