-Chapter-6-
-Rachel pov-
It has been a few days since I found out I broke Santana. I have been in a funk the whole time. I have no idea what I can do to fix it. I want her to know I like her deeply too.
My dads are taking me to a bowling alley. It is glow in the dark night there so we are painted up. I have flowers and stars all over me. I am hoping that this can finally cheer me up.
When we finally park I hop out and take a deep breath. This is all going to be fine. I will be perfectly fine with my dads. No reasons at all to not have a good night.
That is in my head until we get inside.
"No I have to go" I would know those eyes and that body anywhere "I have to go now!"
"Actually we are here for work" My dads hand me a credit card "You are here for a date"
"No I broke her!" I look to see the girl of my dreams staring at me "Please let me go home"
"Go home and never make things right" I jump and turn toward Daniel "Go home and you two will never know what could have been"
"Please save my Mija" I look at Maribel who looks and sounds sad "Please...only you can now"
"Alright" I sigh and look at Santana "I will fix this mess"
They all nod and walk away "You do not have to stay" I look at the older man behind the counter "I am sure your love would understand elsewhere"
"What is more romantic than a bowling alley?" He chuckles and I hold out the card "Shoes and the lane she is at"
"Here are some size sixes and your lane is on the house" He winks with a friendly smile "Go get your girl ok?"
"Thanks sir" He nods and I turn toward Santana "Here goes nothing"
It is a tense walk over to her. I can see her features illuminated by the glowing paint she has on. Flowers, teddy bears, and Mickey adorn her skin. She looks beautiful in the dark or in the light.
"You just going to stand there or come play?" I grab a bowling ball and walk over to her "Get your shoes on and let's get this over with"
I nod and get my shoes switched around. I sigh and sit down as she bowls. A awkward silence falls over us. It just stays there and I know it will not just go away.
I should have walked away. I have no way of fixing this. I love her but I can not fix a broken heart. I am just Rachel Barbara Berry and there is nothing to me that is special enough to fix one.
"I should go" I put my ball down and shake my head "I have nothing to offer you and my love will never be enough"
I start to walk away when a hand grabs my wrist. The same hand drags me toward a room. It has some glowing people in it. There is also music playing.
I get moved to in front of Santana as a slow song comes on.

This magic moment
So different and so new
But like any other
Until I kissed you
And then it happened
It took me by surprise
I knew that you felt it too
By the look in your eyes
Sweeter than wine
Softer than the summer night
Everything I want I have
Whenever I hold you tight
This magic moment
While your lips are close to mine
Will last forever
Forever till the end of time
Sweeter than wine
Softer than the summer night
Everything I want I have
Whenever I hold you tight
This magic moment
While your lips are close to mine
Will last forever
Forever till the end of time
Magic moment...
"Do you really want to love me?" I nod and Santana smiles before frowning "Why did you ignore me?"
"My phone broke and I had my dads" I sigh and look at my feet "I am sorry I broke you"
"You are fine Mi Estrella" I get forced to look at her when she raises my face with her hand on my chin "You want to go finish out date our parents made for us?"
"Sure" I smile "I just have to use the bathroom first!"
Santana nods and I walk out of the room. I do my business and make my way back to our lane. I notice she is not there and go back to the dancing room. I see the older man frowning and I get a sinking feeling as I walk in.
I should have just left earlier.

In the night, I hear 'em talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul to a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless?
Oh, how could you be so heartless?
Her lips are on another girls lips. How could I have been so stupid? How could I have beloved she loved or even liked me?
How could you be so
Cold as the winter wind when it breeze, yo?
Just remember that you talkin' to me though
You need to watch the way you talkin' to me, yo
I mean, after all the things that we been through
I mean, after all the things we got into
Ayo, I know of some things that you ain't told me
Ayo, I did some things but that's the old me
And now you wanna get me back and you gon' show me
So you walk around like you don't know me
You got a new friend, well, I got homies
But in the end, it's still so lonely
In the night, I hear 'em talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul to a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless?
Oh, how could you be so heartless?
Santanas eyes open and she pushes the girl away. She finally sees me and I shake my head. I am sprinting out the door and to my shoes. I get them switched as I hear footsteps behind me.
How could you be so Dr. Evil?
You're bringin' out a side of me that I don't know
I decided we wasn't gon' speak so
Why we up 3 AM on the phone?
Why do she be so mad at me for?
Homie, I don't know, she's hot and cold
I won't stop, won't mess my groove up
'Cause I already know how this thing go
You run and tell your friends that you're leavin' me
They say that they don't see what you see in me
You wait a couple of months, then you gon' see
You'll never find nobody better than me
In the night, I hear 'em talk (Me)
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul to a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless?
Oh, how could you be so heartless?
I ignore my name being called as I run away. Tears blur my vision but I do not care. I am running home with my heart in pieces. I was stupid to think I could have her.
Talk and talk and talk and talk
Baby, let's just knock it off
They don't know what we been through
They don't know 'bout me and you
So I got somethin' new to see
And you just gon' keep hatin' me
And we just gon' be enemies
I know you can't believe
I could just leave it wrong
And you can't make it right
I'm gon' take off tonight into the night
In the night, I hear 'em talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul to a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless? (How, how?)
Oh, how could you be so heartless?
On and on and on and on
And on and, and on and on and on
I collapse on my bed with so many tears flowing. I can clean the paint later. Right now I just want to cry my heart out. I find my phone and make a call.
"Hey Quinn" I sniffle before speaking again "I could use a friend...if you do not mind"
-Santana pov-
"What happened?" I look at the four parents in my life who look worried "Why did Rachel run out?"
"I messed up" I sigh and look at where Rachel disappeared "I really messed up"
