Chapter 26 – Take care of her
Hi there sexehhhhhh. (i have no idea why did I mimic-ed mr shuester) Ahem, so yeah. Here's chapter 26.. It's another short one I guess. Hell, I'm on sick leave today and wrote this. It is one of my favorite so far, don't ask me why. Hope you like this and thank you guys for the kind remarks. I really love writing this story I really do. :')
"Santana.." Quinn tired to break the silence by starting off with my name. "No, Quinn. Don't even try.. I'm going to go after her now." I stopped her speech and got up to my feet, ready to chase after the one that I love. It was then, the tug on my arm that changed everything. "Wait."
"Wait. Brittany, stop." Leon begged while following behind the tall blonde. "Leave me alone, Leon." Brittany shot back without looking back and continued walking forward. "No, Brit. Stop." Leon begged as he pulled her back by her arm. "I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE." Brittany screamed at his face and tears were spotted rolling down her pale cheeks. "And I said no, Brit. Calm down.." Leon tried to coax her again and this time round she faced defeat against his strong grip. Her hands were balled up into fists as she shook and cried silently. "Brit.." Leon whispered as he did not know what else he should say to the blonde right now without further breaking her heart. "She doesn't even care.. Leon, she doesn't even care!" was heard piercing through the silence between the sobs.
"What do you want now, Quinn." I asked as I removed her hand on my arm. "San.. I didn't mean it.." Quinn whimpered at the loss of contact. "But you did it, and she saw it. I can't believe I let you do it too, what was I even thinking?" I shot back with my hands rising up with rage. I do not even know what was going on but I knew one thing, I have broke Brittany's heart. "You let me because you wanted it too, San." Quinn fired back without any sense of remorse. "What the..?"
"I'm sure she cares, Brit. Don't say that.." Leon tried his best to calm the girl in front of him but it was not helping. "She did not even want to chase after me.. this shows how much she cares.." Brittany whimpered as Leon pulled her into a hug and let her cry against his muscular chest. "No.. Brit.. something must have happened. Give her some time, I believe she will come chasing after you. I'm sure she will."
"You let it happen even when you have the chance to stop it, that means you wanted it to happen, don't you?" Quinn questioned with her eyes full of hope. "No.. it's not true. I let it happened because I was caught off by surprise and it's your birthday today, so I-" A pair of lips crushed into mine as I was denying her accusation. The kiss was rough and urgent, as if she was trying to force me to acknowledge all the assumptions that she have made. I pushed the blonde back onto the couch and stepped a few steps backwards, shocked by the person that she have became. "Quinn, what even.." After getting pushed away by the one she love, Quinn's heart was broken. She, herself was broken. "Why.. I thought you like me.." She whimpered. "The way you look at me, the look on your face on the day you saved me.. You were so afraid of losing me.."
"She won't.. Leon.. They kissed.." Brittany argued but the sobbing did not stop. "No, Quinn kissed Santana. Did Santana kiss back? No!" Leon argued back, trying to knock some sense into the blonde. "But.." The blonde tried to think of another reason but failed miserably because the fact is that she truly believed that I still care for her. "No more buts, Brit. Trust me, she love only you. It must be some sort of misunderstanding."
"Of course I was afraid of losing you, you are Brittany's best friend. What would happen if she have lost you? She would be devastated, and I don't want that to happen. Furthermore, I would be broken too, if I have lost you. You are a great friend, Quinn." I explained patiently. "So all this while.. I was just a friend..?" Quinn asked and as her gaze met mine, trails of tears were found under her eyes, droplets dripping off from her jaw. That was the moment I felt my heart ached or even cracked and hesitated to return her my answer. "Please tell me I'm more than that, San.." the blonde on the couch begged again and her voice broke in between the plea. Instead of giving the answer that she wished or the opposite, I took a few steps back before turning around and left the house. Quinn burrowed her face into the couch as she felt the whole world caved in.
As Leon thought that all the drama would be put to a stop once I reached them, he was wrong, so wrong. He felt a vibration in his pocket and reached for it while holding on tightly to the blonde, afraid that she might break if he let go of her.
Take care of her – San
"What?" Leon said out loud, forgetting the blonde could hear him. "She's not coming.. right?" Brittany asked and started to cry again. "No, Brit. Wait, something must have happened. I have to ask her." Leon reassured the blonde again before dialing my number.
My phone vibrated in my hands and it showed the number I dreaded the most, Quinn. I rejected the call and threw my phone on the ground and lied flat on my back on the grass in the forest. Why did I go to the forest and not after Brittany? I do not know.
"Can't get through, what the hell is she doing?" Leon exclaimed in rage as he continued to dial my number. "Just forget it.." Brittany pulled away from the loose grip and collapsed onto the ground. "Hey! Brit! Careful!" Leon reached out for her in time but she slapped away his hand and continued to allow her tears rolled down her face.
My cheek was soaked, not with rain but my own tears. I really have no idea what to do now. I have broke two girls' heart. One that I love or assumed that I love and the other is one that I do not love or assumed that I do not love. My heart ached at the images of both of them crying. I believed that I love Brittany, but was that really true? Quinn's words rang in my head like a broken tape and I could not shake them off. "So all this while.. I was just a friend..?"
That night was peaceful for most of the people, but it was because they are oblivious. Oblivious to the cries produced by the three girls while they had their emotional turmoils. Two hearts were broken and one was deeply cut and bleeding. It was not late to restore every thing but God decided to punish me for my sins.
"Grrrrrr..." I did not hear the beast's growling even though it was dead quiet in the woods. My mind was bombarded by Quinn's words, Brittany's sobs and Leon's screaming replaying over and over again. I only noticed the beast's presence when its fangs sank into my right shoulder.
PS. That gotta hurt. Ouch
