Chapter 29: Another One
"Guys we need to focus!" Hannah sighs, looking around. The boys are messing with the lighting and Lily's voice as she speaks into a microphone while Olivia plays around with an electric guitar (which they are also messing with). Santana and Emma are lying on the grand piano, laughing and Tia and Maddy are practically dry humping on the floor. They all ignore her. "Guys!" Everyone but Tia and Maddy look "Emma." Said girl walks over and flicks Tia on the ear
"What?" Tia groans
"Rehearsal." Emma says forcefully
"Fine." They get up and go to their places. Suddenly Santana's phone goes off, Hannah glares at her.
"Santana!" She moans "How many times have I told you to turn your phone off?"
"Dunno, how many times have I not turned my phone off?" She looks at the screen
"Santana."
"Please it's Brittany" She begs
"Santana after rehearsal."
"God! Just cause your boyfriends here already! Or y'know actually in the same city!" She complains
"Santana calm down." Emma tells her.
"Can I at least text her that you're being insane?"
"Whatever." Hannah sighs "Someone has to keep order in this place." Santana quickly texts Brittany and walks up to the microphone
"Testing testing one two three." Santana says clearly and it comes out as a high pitched squeak "Mark!"
"Sorry." Mark chuckles, adjusting the microphone back to normal
"What one are we doing today?" Santana asks Maddy who holds up three fingers
"One Thing by One Direction." Tia translates
"Remind me why we're doing this."
"Because I lost a bet to Pippa." Lily sighs
"Wait when did you two become so close?" Hannah asks "What was the bet about?"
"Nothing." Lily reassures her, Hannah glares "I'll tell you later." Santana can already see the cogs turning in her head, forming up a lie good enough to get past 'Crazy Hannah'. We can all tell she's getting towards that personality and it's not fun to be in the same room as. Or city. Or state. Or country. Or continent…you get it.
"Guys can we just practice now?" Tia asks "I mean, I will not be happy if I just stopped making out with my girlfriend to watch you guys argue."
"No offence Tia but I'm pretty sure what you were doing passes the barriers that 'making out' affords you." Olivia tells her
"Just someone start playing!" She groans
"It's you." Santana deadpans
"Oh. Carry on."
…
After rehearsal Santana waits backstage. Hannah is the last one there and she watches as the tanned blonde sits at the piano stool and sighs, putting her elbow on the lower keys and playing a depressing minor note which echoes around the auditorium. What Santana doesn't expect next are the sobs that echo as the note fades.
"Hannah?" She asks carefully causing the other girl to spin around, tears streaming down her face
"Shouldn't you be calling Brittany?" She asks coldly
"I stayed back to see if you were okay. It must suck having to be the serious one all the time."
"You have no idea."
"I'm really sorry about earlier. Y'know, calling you insane and all that. You're not insane."
"Yes I am." Hannah sighs "I'm completely insane and I don't know when to stop!"
"No you're not and I'm sorry for calling you that. It's just that to be honest I'm jealous. I mean, everyone else in the band has their boyfriend-slash-girlfriend in New York. Hell, most of them are in the band and I'm just sat there knowing that if I want to see my girlfriend properly I have to drive for eight hours."
"Sorry."
"No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped."
"Can I tell you a secret Santana?" Hannah asks "Like, a really big secret that only one other person knows and only because it's about them to."
"Sure."
"You won't tell anyone?"
"No." Santana thinks for a second "Oh my god are you pregnant?" She shrieks
"No! God no!" Hannah gasps "Seriously do not spread that around!"
"I won't." Santana reassure her
"You know me and Chris are dating?"
"Yes."
"Well the relationship's fake."
"What?" Santana asks, not sure she heard Hannah right
"At the start of Junior year Chris and I were the only singles in the band so the others started teasing us. It was jokingly of course but it was still really annoying so we decided to pretend to be together and now, even though Emma's single or so she wants us to believe neither of us ever wanted to call it off. Right at the beginning we made a pact and the main point of that was to make sure we never actually fell in love because that would be bad but oh god I think I'm in love with him!"
"Wait a second." Santana stops her "Basically what you're saying is that you think that you're falling in love with your fake boyfriend?"
"Yes!" Hannah gasps "And it scares me. I've never felt this way before."
"When did you start getting feelings for him?"
"The beginning of this year." Hannah tells her "I don't know why it just happened and I'm scared and oh god what is happening!"
"Hannah!" Santana stops her mid rant again "Calm down!" Hannah breathes slowly "Good. Now, have you told him how you feel?"
"No."
"Well then you need to don't you."
