-Chapter 27-
-Santana pov-
"Something needs done" I'm sitting at the dinning table with Maribel, Shelby, and Judy "Rachel and Lucy haven't talked to each other since Tuesday!"
"What are we gonna do?" I shrug with a sigh as the moms frown "I've got nothing"
"I do!" We look at my mom hopefully "Follow along and we can get them together again"
"What can I do?" Mom smiles and I feel fear start to sprout inside of me "What?"
-Time skip-Rachel pov-
I'm finally wake up when my phone goes off. I sit up and pick up my phone. I don't have time to answer it when the door bursts open. I look up at a out of breath Lucy.
"Santana ran away!" I feel my heart drop "The moms, Fran, and Emma have gone out looking for her"
"Let me get up and get my keys" I see confusion spread across Lucy's face "What?"
"You seriously don't talk to me for days and then our girlfriend runs away!" Lucy runs a hand through her hair and takes a deep breath "Just get some shoes on and come to my car"
"Fine" I pull my shoes out from under my bed and stand up "Let's go"
I follow her out to her car and hop in. We drive in silence around town. Santana isn't popping up anywhere. We drive past all of her go to spots and everything. I sigh and sit up in my seat.
"Hey Lucy" I look at her and she nods me on "Why don't we ever drive this car?"
"Cause it has a" her face drops as we slowly start stopping "Shit"
She gets us to the side of the road "Gas problem?" She sighs "Let's get out and call the moms"
"It was the only car" I look at her confused and she looks at me unamused "It was the only car in the garage"
"You think we got setup?" She nods and I shake my head "They wouldn't"
"We haven't talked since Tuesday" Lucy sighs and puts the car in park "I can't blame them for trying"
"You kissed my mom!" I feel my pent up anger start to bubble up "You kissed the woman that gave birth to me and think I should just forgive you!"
"I THINK YOU SHOULD FUCKING LEAVE ME!" Silence falls in the car and Lucy sighs "I cheated and you two don't deserve that...I messed up and I wanted you two to leave me because of it"
"We love you too much Lucy" I sigh and grab her hand "I love you too much"
"I love you Rach" Lucy wipes some tears away and smiles "Wanna call and say we are back?"
"I think we should give them a taste of their own medicine" I pull out my phone and push a contact "Hey...yeah I gotta a bad car...perfect"
-Time skip-Santana pov-
"Any news?" The moms start shaking their heads no but then just pales "What?"
"Lucy's car was crashed" We all look at her terrified "We are needed at Lima Major now"
We all quickly get up and run to the car. I send a message to Fran as we head out. She is watching Beth with Emma today. Something about couple testing. We quickly drive to the hospital and run toward the doors.
We all slow down as we see Lucy and Rachel smirking. They set us up. They turned it on us. I don't know whether to be impressed or nervous.
"Hello loving family" Rachel looks straight at me "I see you found Santana!"
"So" Mom nervously chuckles "You found out"
"You left us with Lucy's broken down car" Rachel glares at us "Who was it?"
"The car idea was Santana!" I look shocked at Shelby who just gives an apologetic smile "Sorry?"
"You could've gotten us hurt!" Rachel walks up angrily and thumps my head "What were you thinking?"
"That my girlfriends were going crazy and hurting each other by not talking!" I sigh and look at both of them "I know we went overboard with my moms plan but...I just wanted us back together again"
"We are now San" Lucy walks over with a loving smile "But pull a stunt like that again and I'm cutting your head off"
"So Wheres the car?" Lucy and Rachel share a evil smirk causing Judy to audibly gulp "What?"
-Time skip-
"As punishment for scaring us and making us use a bad car" The auditorium curtains raise and we are facing the glee club "Solos or duets are you choices!"
The club erupts as Rachel and Lucy motion us forward. I look at Judy and mom who look nervous. Shelby of course is soaking in the applause from them. I see where Rachel gets it from.
"I'll do a solo!" Shelby smiles "I haven't done one in forever! I have the perfect one!"
She walks over to the piano and starts pushing the keys.
-Shelby singing-
Something has changed within' me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game
Too late for second guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap
It's time to try defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
And you won't bring me down
I'm through accepting limits
'Cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know
Too long I've been afraid of Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love, it comes at much too high a cost
I'd sooner buy defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
And you won't bring me down
I'd sooner buy defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
And you won't bring me down
Bring me down
Ohhh...
The club claps and Shelby stands up before bowing. I look at Rachel who's clapping like a maniac. Definitely got it from each other. I look at Judy who mom who both nod.
"We'll duet" Mom takes a deep breath before announcing the song "The song is one we used to sing all the time"
Or not.
Judy walks over to the piano and whispers something to Shelby. Shelby nods and starts playing. A song that needs no name introduction.
-Judy-Maribel-both-
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There's gotta be a little rain some time
When you take you gotta give so live and let live
Or let go oh-whoa-whoa-whoa
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
I could promise you things like big diamond rings
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover
So you better think it over
Well if sweet-talkin' you could make it come true
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
But what would it matter
So smile for a while and let's be jolly
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There's gotta be a little rain some time
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
But if that's what it takes to hold you
I'd just as soon let you go
But there's one thing I want you to know
You better look before you leap, still waters run deep
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
And you know what I'm talkin' about
So smile for a while and let's be jolly
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There's gotta be a little rain some time
Everyone claps again and so do I as they smile. Shelby gives them a big hug. They look great together. My happiness is short lived when I realize I'm up. I look at my girlfriends pleadingly but they shake their heads.
"Well I guess I'm up" I sigh and think of a song "I think I've got something"
I walk to the band a whisper the name to them. They nod and slowly start playing. I can't believe Rachel got them here. They do listen to her no matter what though. I calm myself down and start when the time comes.
-Santana singing-
Do you know what's worth fighting for
When it's not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You're in ruins
One, twenty one guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, twenty one guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I
When you're at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn't pass
Nothing's ever built to last
You're in ruins
One, twenty one guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, twenty one guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I
Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home?
Did you stand too close to the fire?
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone
When it's time to live and let die
And you can't get another try
Something inside this heart has died
You're in ruins
One, twenty one guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, twenty one guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
One, twenty one guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, twenty one guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I
There's a small moment of silence before applause. I'm quickly hugged by my girlfriends as they kiss my cheeks. I'm smile and wrap my arms around them. I finally look up and notice Fran holding Beth beside Emma. Of course they told them.
"I'm gonna get you two back for this" They both give me a pointed look and I dramatically sigh "Fiiinne! We can be even"
We laugh as the club starts standing. Today has been a surprisingly good day. My girls are back together and I'm happy.
I say that's a win-win.
