-Day-4-
-Rachel pov-
I absolutely can do this! I can knock on the door and say hello! I already have a story to go along with this! I was just on a Christmas walk and realized she was near by!
No that sounds so stupid! I sigh and turn around when I see a familiar Nissan Sentra. I walk over and see the cheerios uniform inside it. I walk to the front door and knock.
"Hey Shelby? I was passing by and wanted to talk!" I hear thudding and curses before the door is opened by Shelby "Uhh hey! You look messy"
"Oh Uh yeah I was taking care of Beth" I look around and see no sign of my little sister "Uhh before she got picked up! Now I am home alone! Yep alone!"
"I see" I slip past and see the door that is slightly ajar "And no one is inside this room?"
"Rachel please let's think before we do" I open the door and my jaw drops "Well..surprise?"
"Way to ruin the birthday planning!" I raise a eyebrow and Quinn sighs "Look I am trying to get better at acting ok? I am not naturally gifted like you"
"I mean you can obviously suck clit better than me" Quinn's eyes go wide and I turn toward my mom angry "How could you?! Were you just pulling me alone so you had help? Support to back you up if you were caught?!"
"No Rachel please" I move away from her and start for the door "Rachel please! Stop and listen to me!"
"Go to hell!" I turn as angry tears fall "I came to talk! I came to make everything better! I came to be the daughter you wanted! Instead you are sleeping with my biggest bully! Did Santana know about all of this?"
"No" I glare at Quinn who looks at the ground "Yes"
"So all of this was to make you sure everyone was protected! You are even cheating on Sam!" Quinn looks even more guilty and I scoff "Tell Santana I want nothing to do with her! I want nothing to do with you either Quinn! Brittany will probably not understand anyways...you never contact me again Shelby Corcoran! You are going down at Sectionals!"
I storm out the door and slam it shut. I get into my car and let the tears fall. I shakily buckle up and pull away. I just need to go home and watch movies.
I also have cookies I need to throw away or stuff down my throat.
-Santana pov-
"Alright I have the tigger suit made!" I smile at my handy work "Hey Mami I need your opinion on this!"
"Alright!" I hear her footsteps down the hall "I just have to do laundry first!"
"Alright!" I feel my phone buzz so I pick it up and answer "This is Santana!"
"S-she found out about Shelby and me" I frown as I hear Quinn sniffling and Shelby crying in the background "She thinks we only wanted to secure our relationship..she said she does not want any of us to contact her"
"Who is she Quinn?" I get nothing but sniffles and muffled crying "Quinn! Who is she?!"
"Rachel" I feel my heart shatter "Rachel found out...Santana?"
"I have to go" I hang up and stand up with the tigger costume "She found out..no contact..hehe..no contact"
"Ok Mija I have free time!" I walk past my mom with the costume "Mija?"
"No contact" I walk down to the kitchen and put the suit in the sink "No contact...no more chances..hehe..I lost it all"
"Mija what are you doing?" I pull out the lighter and spark a flame "SANTANA!"
"No contact mom" I set the suit on fire as tears fall "No more chances"
I do not know how but I am in her arms soon. The fire is gone and so is the lighter. I have tears falling down as I shake. I lost my last chance without doing anything.
"It will be ok baby girl" I break down more as she rocks me "How about you go sit on the couch ok? Papi will be home soon"
I nod and silently walk into the living room. I feel so numb right now. I look at the piano and walk over to it. I hit some keys before I start playing.
-Santana singing-
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control?
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)
I feel familiar arms wrap around my body. I look up and see color burst back into my world. Rachel is standing there holding me in tears. She also has icing on her face.
"You got red here" I swipe her nose and look her in the eyes "Hi"
"Never lie to me again" She fully looks me in the eyes "If you what a real chance we try our best not to lie ok?"
"I get a chance?" She nods and tears start to fall "I am sorry! I am so sorry! I did not mean to hurt you! Please do not leave me! I will never lie again!"
"It is ok" She rubs my back as I sob "It will be ok Santana"
"How di-did you get here so quick?" I see papi smiling beside Mami "What?"
"These empanadas are amazing!" A tall man with glasses walks into the living room with another man "You have to tell me the recipe Maribel!"
"Actually tell me cause I can cook" Tall man pouts while the short one chuckles "We have not had a get together in forever"
"My dads know your parents" I look at Rachel who is smiling "Your mom texted and we finished our drive here"
"I wanted dinner to meet the parents" My Papi smiles happily "I am soooo happy it was Hiram and Leroy!"
"We are happy our girls are talking now too" My eyes go wide and I can see Rachel shaking her head "I mean the slushies were terrible! I am so glad that Santana is throwing no more!"
"Throwing slushies?" The man who was talking goes pale as Mami looks at me with fire "You threw slushies at the girl you like!"
I look at Rachel who is about to speak "Yes I did" Rachel looks at me shocked "I will not lie about what I did ok? I bullied you and made you friendless...I have no idea why you even have given me a chance! But you have and I never will make you regret it!"
"We will have dinner and some games" Papi pushes Mami away and looks at me "We can talk about this later"
"You did not lie" I nod and Rachel give me a cheek peck "I see there is some good to you"
I smile as she walks to her dads. They both wink as they walk away. I totally am going to be fine. I run upstairs and send a text to Quinn that I will fix things.
Tomorrow is going to be a long day.
