Sorry about the wait I think I suffered a bit of heat stroke…not fun.
This chapter and the next were very hard to write…mostly because it kept getting too depressing and angsty for this story. SO hopefully you enjoy them. I'm not too sure if I like this chapter all that much…
Side note that is totally unrelated I just re-watched the Throwdown episode and watching Quinn's You Keep Me Hanging On…I just realised how incredibly gay that was…I mean if that was in Quinn's head why would she have her Cheerios dressed as football players dancing around her? Pressed Lemon anyone?
~^~^~ Tuesday ~^~^~
Quinn and Santana had spent Monday afternoon and night coming up with ideas to make things right and also trying to talk to their girlfriends but they wouldn't answer their phones. So the girls were determined to talk to them at school. Well that was the plan.
As soon as Quinn and Santana took their first few steps onto the school grounds all eyes were on them and not in the good way they were used too. Quinn felt like she was pregnant all over again with all the looks and the whispers. Santana was pissed. She had never experienced this before even when it was becoming public knowledge about her and Brittany she still had the power to scare people away. But now…things had changed.
Even with all the looks the two HBIC had a mission, well two actually first they needed to pay a certain creepy Jew a visit the other was to beg for forgiveness from their girlfriends. Quinn and Santana stalked down the halls trying to ignore the stares. They headed straight for the AV Room, the rest of the student body were now very curious to what was going to happen some almost even pitied Jacob. Almost.
The door opened with a bang scaring the AV club who were setting up for the day.
"Leave" Santana hissed
The club quickly jumped up and ran out the door Jacob was one of them.
"Not you." Quinn said to the boy.
As soon as the room was empty bar Quinn, Santana and Jacob Quinn closed the door and stared down at the boy who was nervously fidgeting in his chair.
The two Cheerios employed one of Sue's favourite tactics: Make 'em squirm. They stood there glaring at Jacob for several minutes letting him get more and more anxious. After letting him sweat Quinn plastered a sweet innocent almost angelic smile on her face though her intentions were obvious in her eyes.
"Jacob, there's no need to be scared" She assured him.
Though the look on Santana's face betrayed her false assurance.
The two girls began to move in closer, Jacob was three seconds away from peeing his pants.
"W-What are you going to do to me?" He nervously asked.
"Why Jacob whatever makes you think we are going to do anything to you?" Quinn sweetly asked.
"B-B-Because of…of what I posted"
"Yeah about that…my dear friend Santana and I wanted to ask you a few questions…that's all."
JewFro continually looked between the two girls not wanting to take his eyes of either of them for a second otherwise he might miss their attack and he would be dead.
"O-Ok"
Quinn took a seat in front of the boy while Santana kept her position standing just slightly behind and to the side of Quinn.
"Who sold you the story?" Quinn asked
"I-I can't reveal my sources"
He actually heard Santana growl, no really it sounded inhuman. He was scared.
"It was me!" He squeaked.
"What do you mean?" Quinn asked
"I was at the mall and heard you two talking." He quickly replied.
Quinn went quiet for a moment contemplating her next move.
"What about the other thing?" She then asked
"What other thing?" He asked
"About us and having a problem with…" It was the first time Quinn took her gaze off of the boy and Santana flinched.
Jacob quickly understood what she was getting at and had the audacity to chuckle about it that was a mistake. Santana actually showed teeth that time making Jacob shut up immediately.
"That was Finn Hudson." He quickly answered.
Jacob was getting a bad feeling when he saw what could only be described as absolute fury cross Quinn's eyes. Quinn then smiled at the boy which only made him even more terrified.
"Thank you for your time Jacob it's been very informative. We'll go now." Quinn said.
She got up from her chair and the boy sighed with relief. Quinn then smirked as she got to the door.
"Though I think Santana has a few words she'd like to say to you." She said before closing the door behind her leaving him alone with the smirking brunette, Jacob feared for his life.
Half an hour later Santana came out of the room she gave Quinn a nod and a smile.
"Just like old times." Quinn smirked as they walked off to their first class of the day.
Throughout the day it seemed as though Rachel and Brittany were avoiding the two Cheerios even the rest of the Glee club were giving them the cold shoulder. Strangely enough no one had seen JewFro since this morning either. Things only got worse at Cheerios practice.
They walked into the locker room to get ready before heading out onto the field, when they entered the room everything went silent. It was like that movie The Birds just a mass flock of Cheerios staring at the two girls. It made Santana think back to Tina's dream about the flying Cheerios. She half expected them to take flight and swoop down at them pecking their eyes out.
"Well if it is the cheating dyke parade." Stacey, one of the senior cheerios mocked.
Santana glared at the girl.
"Shut it Stacey I'm still your captain and can make you run 50 laps if I want so don't get up in my face." She hissed back.
"We're not scared of you Satan. You always gave us shit if we even looked at Brittany the wrong way. But now you're the one who has hurt her so now we have free reign to kick your ass. Just a friendly warning." The other girl replied.
Quinn and Santana were both a little shocked and didn't really know how to respond to that. This did not sit well with the Latina. The mass of Cheerios then began to push pass the two girls as they exited out of the room. The only ones left were Quinn, Santana and Brittany who was standing by her locker.
"Britt" Santana went to move closer to the tall blonde.
"I have to go warm up for practice." She mumbled before she quickly left.
Santana tried to talk to Brittany again during practice but Coach Sylvester made that a difficult task. So she just hoped she could get a chance to speak with her during Glee that afternoon. Quinn was hoping this as well because she hadn't seen Rachel all day. The girls also hadn't seen Finn around either. Making them think that JewFro must have warned him somehow to take cover.
~^~^~ Glee ~^~^~
They were in the choir room for practice today so Quinn made a run for it to try and get there early because she knew Rachel would be there and this would give her a chance to talk to the girl.
Just as she had hoped her brunette diva was already at the piano sorting through the music sheets for the lesson. Quinn hesitantly walked up behind the girl. She wasn't sure if physical contact would be welcome so she cleared her throat to get her attention. Rachel turned around at the sound and Quinn couldn't help but notice her smile drop once she realised who was behind her.
"Oh, hello Quinn." Rachel said before turning back around.
Quinn was mad, confused and upset all rolled into one at that simple and uncaring tone in her girlfriend's gesture.
"Rach…can we at least talk about this? You haven't returned any of my calls or texts I'm going crazy here" Quinn finally spoke.
"Sorry" Rachel replied without looking at the girl, though she really didn't seem all that sorry at all.
Quinn sighed, she slowly walked up closer behind Rachel almost touching she hesitantly placed her hands on the brunette's hips. Rachel tensed up at the contact.
"Rach…please just tell me how to make it better." The blonde whispered.
Rachel was about to respond when Mr. Shue and a few of the glee members came into the room. The small diva moved her way out of Quinn's grasp and headed to her seat.
The blonde sighed and went over to sit up the back. She wasn't even going to attempt to try and sit next to Rachel she knew it would be pointless anyway. Besides Brittany had taken a seat next to her and Finn was on the other side.
Quinn was not happy about that at all and would see to that later.
Once everyone was seated Mr. Shue began the lesson.
"I think for today we'll focus on something other than Rocky Horror, just to give us all a break so is there anyone who wants to sing anything?" He asked his group.
Santana and Quinn took a quick glance over at each other remembering something that happened last night.
-Last Night-
"San there is no way I'm singing that song…it's so gay." Quinn said after listening to the song.
Santana just rolled her eyes.
"I know but for some reason Brittany loves this song. So we need to sing it so she'll love me again."
"Well what about Rachel? We should just go with my choice it's not as lame as this…maybe we could do a mashup?"
"Yeah somehow I don't think this song will go well with Music of the Night Quinn."
The blonde just sighed
"Fine…let's practice this then."
Santana pressed play and waited for the music.
(Santana)
Open your eyes I see
Your eyes are open
Wear no disguise for me
Come into the open
(Quinn)
When it's cold outside
Am I here in vain?
Hold on to the night
There will be no shame
(Santana & Quinn)
Always
I wanna be with you
And make believe with you
And live in harmony, harmony oh love
Always
I wanna be with you
And make believe with you
And live in harmony, harmony oh love
(Quinn)
Melting the ice for me
Jump into the ocean
Hold back the tide I see
Your love in motion
(Santana)
When it's cold outside
Am I here in vain?
Hold on to the night
There will be no shame
(Quinn & Santana)
Always
I wanna be with you
And make believe with you
And live in harmony, harmony oh love
Always
I wanna be with you
And make believe with you
And live in harmony, harmony oh love
(Santana)
When it's cold outside
Am I here in vain?
(Quinn)
Hold on to the night
There will be no shame
(Santana & Quinn)
Always
I wanna be with you
And make believe with you
And live in harmony, harmony oh love
Always
I wanna be with you
And make believe with you
And live in harmony, harmony oh love
The two girls finished the song and turned to look at each other.
"Yeah no we're not doing that." Santana said
"Agreed." Quinn quickly replied.
-Back in the Choir Room-
It seemed Finn was the only one who wanted to sing something. Mr. Shue didn't like the look of where this was going. Something told him that the Great Glee Feud of 2010 would soon roll into 2011. It just seemed eerily similar. Maybe it was due to Quinn glaring holes into the boy's head.
Finn gave his music to Brad and the band and got ready to sing.
"I just want to say that I've chosen this song because it's not what I would normally sing and someone very special once told me that I should broaden my horizons so here we go." Finn said to the group though his eyes were only on Rachel.
As soon as the music began everyone knew the song. Quinn glared over to Santana who looked away.
(Finn)
Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defences
Helpless to resist the notes I write
For I compose the music of the night
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Hearing is believing
Music is deceiving
Hard as lightning, soft as candlelight
Dare you trust the music of the night
Close your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth
And the truth isn't what you want to see
In the dark it is easy to pretend
That the truth is what it ought to be
Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you
Open up your mind
Let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night
Close your eyes, start a journey through a strange, new world
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
Close your eyes, and let music set you free
Only then can you belong to me
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation
Let the dream begin
Let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night
You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the
Help me make the music of the night
Finn looked determined and was pulling out all the stops if there was ever a time to get Rachel back it was now. Puck told him that Rachel had mentioned that she loved this song because it was so romantic or something so he decided that if he sang this then maybe Rachel would go back to him.
Quinn glared at the boy Mr. Shue looked over at the girl and was afraid she was going to explode in a minute.
Rachel loved this song and couldn't believe that Finn remembered that it was her favourite. He did an ok job of it, he was no Broadway star but he sounded pretty good.
After he finished everyone cheered except for Quinn and Santana. Mr. Shue was about to say something when Quinn jumped up.
"Oh hell no!" she yelled before going after Finn who let out a quick squeak and ran behind the piano for protection from Quinn. Mercedes and Kurt managed to hold the blonde back.
"Quinn calm down." Mercedes told her friend.
"It's not worth it" Kurt added.
The Cheerio fought to get out of their grip but surprisingly they were both pretty strong.
"Quinn!" Rachel yelled and the girl stopped struggling immediately.
Mercedes and Kurt hesitantly let go of the blonde. Rachel grabbed her hand and dragged her out of the room.
"I do not want a repeat of last year Quinn" Rachel spoke harshly.
"He started it!"
"What are you 5?"
"He's the one who told JewFro about me and Santana and our…problem."
"I really don't care about that right now Quinn. You both deserved it."
That hurt and it showed on the blonde girl's face, Rachel regrated it the moment she said it.
"Why can't you forgive me? I forgave you for telling the whole Glee club about every embarrassing thing about me."
"This is different and you know it."
"Rachel it was just one little kiss that meant nothing."
"I know but I'm still mad at you. I can't help it."
"Well then…you shouldn't be I didn't get mad at you for letting Brittany give you a lap dance!" Quinn jeered.
Rachel looked shocked and didn't really know what to say.
"You didn't think I knew about that did you? Well I did and I never said anything about it because I knew it didn't mean anything because I love you and I trust you. Yes me and Santana kissed but I didn't let her grind up against me half naked."
Rachel sighed and nodded.
"You're right…but that still doesn't mean I can stop feeling the way that I am right now."
The two girls stood out in the hallway in silence for a few minutes before Quinn spoke again.
"Let me make it up to you." She softly asked.
"One condition"
"What?"
"This stupid feud with Finn ends now."
"But Rach he-"
"I know what he did but please I don't think we can handle it right now."
Quinn nodded in agreement.
"So…now what?" The blonde hesitantly asked
"Now you prove to me that I can trust you."
Quinn nodded again and took a tentative step towards the brunette.
"Can I…can I kiss you?" she whispered.
Rachel looked away
"Not today." She said before walking back into the choir room leaving Quinn alone in the hallway not really knowing what just happened or what to do next.
While Rachel and Quinn were outside the rest of the group broke off and began to chat amongst themselves, Santana took this opportunity to slide up to Brittany.
"Hey Chicken" she murmured.
Brittany tried not to look at the Latina beside her.
"I got you something" Santana uncharacteristically got excited as she pulled her bag over and grabbed something out of it.
The blonde girl once again tried not to look at her but was a little curious as to what it was.
"Here" Santana placed a small box onto Brittany's lap and gave her a small expectant smile.
"Open it" She said as she nervously bit her lip.
Brittany couldn't help it she really wanted to know what was in the box so she slowly undid the small ribbon and opened the lid. She looked inside and her jaw dropped in surprise.
"Do you like it?" Santana anxiously asked wiping her now sweaty palms on her Cheerios skirt.
"San…I" She looked up from the box, her eyes were starting to well up.
"This wasn't my original plan to give this to you here in the choir room…but I just couldn't wait and after everything that's happened I just really needed to know if you still wanted me."
Brittany looked back down at the box then back up at Santana.
"It's my grandmother's." Santana said as she picked out the diamond ring from inside the box.
"I'm mad at you San" Brittany whispered.
"I know" Santana looked down ashamed.
"But I still love you…I still want you."
Santana looked up with a hopeful smile; Brittany smiled back then held out her left hand to the Latina. The brunette couldn't help the massive grin that appeared on her face as she placed the ring onto Brittany's finger. Brittany looked down and smiled.
"I guess I can never do the Single Ladies dance ever again." The blonde sighed. Santana just laughed.
"Just because you gave me this pretty ring doesn't mean you still have some gravelling to do Sanny" Brittany said not taking her eyes of the ring.
"Grovelling" Santana corrected.
"That too" Brittany replied with a smile.
The brunette leaned over and kissed her fiancé on the cheek.
"I'll make it up to you I promise."
The song was Always by Erasure
I just wanted a really lame and over the top song...you should check out the video on YouTube…it made me laugh.
