-Chapter-48-

-Santana pov-

This has been a hell of a week. There are only a few more people who need to sing. I finally have Sebastian ready to sing a duet. Thing is he has been acting very...kind.

I have no clue what is happening right now. He keeps looking at the door every now and then. I have noticed Tina is doing it too. Mike as also oddly joined us today.

We asked Sebastian how he knew about the relationship a few days back. He said it was obvious and he did not mean to scare us. That is when he started being nice. That is when my fears spiked more.

"Alright" We all look to see Rachel on stage with Blaine "We are going to kick of the final day of duets!"

"We do not expect to lose but" Blaine smiles out to us "If we do it has honestly been a fun time"

I roll my eyes and scoff. Of course the Broadway twins could do that. They seem nice but still act egotistical. I guess that is just them though.

I feel eyes on me and see Shelby staring. I give her a wave but she quickly shakes her head. I give a confused look and she nods to the doors. She has a odd feeling right now too.

-Blaine-Rachel-Both-

How could I know I would have to leave you?

How could I know I would hurt you so?

You were the one I was born to love!

Oh, how could I ever know?

How could I ever know?

How can I say to go on without me?

How, when I know you still need me so?

How can I say not to dream about me?

How could I ever know?

How could I ever know?

Forgive me

Can you forgive me

And hold me in your heart

And find some new way to love me

Now that we're apart?

How could I know I would never hold you?

Never again in this world, but oh

Sure as you breathe, I am there inside you

How could I ever know?

How could I ever know?

How can I hope to go on without you?

How can I know where you'd have me go?

How can I bear not to dream about you?

Oh, how can I let you go?

How could I ever know?

All I need...

Is there in the garden!

All I would ask...

Is care for the child of our love!

Come, go with me, safe I will keep you

Where you would lead me

There I would

There I would, there we would

There we will go

Oh! How could I know?

Tell me how could I know?

Never to know you would ever leave me!

How could we know?

How could I ever know?

We all clap and they take their bows. I will not lie and say they were bad. Of course they were really good up there. But I think Sebastian and my song will be the best.

"I am so sorry" I look to see Sebastian in tears "I am so very sorry"

"What do you mean?" He shakes his head and I look toward Tina who is leaning into Mike "What is going on?"

-Lucy-Nick-Both-

You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs

But I look around me

And I see it isn't so

Some people want to fill the world

With silly love songs

And what's wrong with that?

I'd like to know

Cos here I go again

"What is going on Sebastian?" He doesn't respond "Sebastian!"

Lucy looks at Shelby with a loving smile. For someone reason I feel my anxiety amp up. I look at Sebastian and see him nod. Who is waiting behind the doors?

I love you, I love you

I love you, I love you

Ah, I can't explain

The feeling's plain to me

Now can't you see?

Ah, she gave me more

She gave it all to me

Now can't you see?

What's wrong with that?

I need to know

Cos here I go again

"He gave them no choice and pushed my family to making me say yes" Sebastian shakes his head again "I have had no choice to get out of this"

"Was it William?" He nods and I growl "I am gonna kill him"

I pull out my phone and text Shelby what is going on.

I love you, I love you

Love doesn't come in a minute

Sometimes it doesn't come at all

I only know that when I'm in it

It isn't silly, no, it isn't silly

Love isn't silly at all

How can I tell you about my loved one?

How can I tell you about my loved one?

How can I tell you about my loved one?

How can I tell you about my loved one?

I love you, I love you

I love you, I love you

Ah, I can't explain

The feeling's plain to me

Say, can't you see?

Ah, he gave me more

He gave it all to me

Say, can't you see?

'It will be fine. Just go up and sing your heart out ok? Everything will be fine'

Ah, I can't explain

The feeling's plain to me

Say, can't you see?

Ah, he gave me more

He gave it all to me

Say, can't you see?

Ah, I can't explain

The feeling's plain to me

Say, can't you see?

Ah, he gave me more

He gave it all to me

Say, can't you see?

You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs

But I look around me and I see it isn't so, oh no,

Some people want to fill the world

With silly love songs

And what's wrong with that?

We all clap and I walk up with Sebastian. He composes himself better as the instruments get changed out. I look at him and he nods. I look at Shelby to see her nod too.

I do not miss the tears in her eyes.

-Sebastian-Santana-Both-

Uh, as he came into the window

It was the sound of a crescendo, uh!

He came into her apartment

He left the bloodstains on the carpet, uh!

She ran underneath the table

He could see she was unable

So she ran into the bedroom

She was struck down, It was her doom

A Smooth Criminal

Everyone claps and that's when it happens. The doors burst open and police come in. I watch as she tries pulling them out of the room. They are making their way to Shelby.

"STOP IT!" I start running down the stage toward them "SHE HAS DONE NOTHING WRONG! YOU CAN NOT ARREST HER!"

"Mam please" The officer looks me in the eyes "I understand..we have no full evidence but we have to respond to this stuff"

"What if she is not dating any students?!" The officers share confused looks "What are you arresting her for?"

"Endangerment of a adopted baby" I feel my jaw drop "We can not release who reported it"

"William Shuester" Sebastian walks down to us "He paid me and two other students to gather evidence we did not get! There was nothing there for dating students or endangering Beth! She is an amazing mother and an amazing teacher! You can not steer her over his stuff! I do have proof for his blackmail though!"

"This could put him away" Sebastian hands over his phone and some papers. The officers read them over and nod "You just saved a innocent woman son..you do know what this means for them though right?"

Sebastian sighs and nods "Do what you have to" They nod and leave the auditorium "I am sorry about this"

"It was Tina and Mike right?" Sebastian nods and Shelby stands up "I owe you all a thank you"

"You should be mad" Tina walks over crying with Mike "We almost got you arrested and Beth taken away!"

"I saw some of that blackmail he had" Shelby looks to Sebastian again "You have a place to go?"

"I have him" Blaine puts a hand on Sebastians shoulder and looks at Shelby "How about we dismiss?"

"That works" Shelby looks to the club "Let's end this for today"

Everyone nods and slowly leaves the room. I just saw my future flash before my eyes and crumble. I almost lost my girlfriend today. I almost lost Beth today too.

There are a lot of things we need to talk about. But for now we are gonna go home and cuddle. Because I do not wanna be away from hake by. That was too close for comfort.

I will thank Sebastian, Tina, and Mike later. For now I need cuddles and sleep.
