Quinntana Fanfiction: Now and Forever
Chapter 7: Look Out
Smack.
Before anybody else could blink, Santana slapped Brody across the face. She smacked him so hard, he wouldve ended up on the ground if security werent holding him. This time, the whole room stopped to pay attention to what happened.
"Its okay folks, carry on. Nothing to see here" says one of the securities.
Quinn ran up to Santana as they kicked Brody out of the room.
"Babe are you okay?" asked Quinn.
"Yeah. Im fine. Just take me to the bathroom so I can wash off his spit" says Santana.
Rachel gets up and runs after them. Puck goes up to Finn and checks his face.
"You okay Bro?" asked Puck, turning Finn's head to check the side.
"Yeah. Im good. Nothing that a little more booze cant numb" says Finn.
"Alright! Hey, can we have more shots" says Puck to the bartender.
"Hey San. Im sorry you had to go through that. Are you okay?" says Rachel as Santana wipes her face with a napkin, trying not to ruin her makeup.
"Actually Rachel, no. Im not okay. This is all your fault and you know it. Maybe if you had listened to me earlier when I tried to convince you and break up with him, maybe things wouldnt have gone down the way they did" said Santana.
"Well maybe if you guys would have left things alone and let me handle it, none of this would have happened" said Rachel.
Santana scoffs and Quinn just stands there looking back and forth between the two.
"If we left it alone, you would be too stubborn to even listen to what we had to say" said Santana.
"Yeah because for once, I wanted to be in control of my own life. And you guys butting in made it even worse" said Rachel.
"Are you fricking kidding me?! We defended your ass and you're blaming us?!" said Santana, half yelling. Thank God nobody was in the bathroom with them.
Rachel sighs. "Thats not what I meant" says Rachel.
"No. Its exactly what you meant" says Santana, pushing passed Rachel and out the door. Rachel looks at Quinn.
"Give her time. She's kinda heated from the alcohol. But she does have a point" says Quinn. A tear rolls down Rachel's cheek and Quinn wipes it off with a tissue before following Santana out the door.
"Santana, wait!" says Quinn as she sees Santana walk towards the exit. Quinn walks back to the booth.
"Hey, what happened?" asked Finn.
"I'll explain it to you later" said Quinn. She goes over to tell Brittany that Rachel needs her in the bathroom. She apologizes to everyone about leaving early and runs out the door to find Santana.
Quinn looks left to right but doesnt see the Latina. She takes out her phone and dials.
When Brittany goes into the bathroom, Rachel is no longer there. She walks out of the bathroom and looks around the whole room but doesnt see her. She asks the others if they saw Rachel anywhere. One of her NYADA friends mentioned that they saw her walk out not too long ago. Brittany hastily makes her way around the dancing crowd and out to the front. She runs out the door but bumps into this other blonde, making her phone drop.
"Oh, Im sorry. Are you okay?" asks Brittany grabbing the phone. The other blonde looks up.
"Quinn? I thought you left already" says Brittany.
"Yeah but I dont know where Santana went. Did you see her?" asks Quinn.
"No. But did you see Rachel walk out? She wasnt in the bathroom when I went in" says Brittany.
"Nope. This is bad" said Quinn.
"Yeah. Really bad" says Brittany, looking around.
Quinn dials again. She hears the faint ringtone followed by yelling.
"Britt do you hear that?" asks Quinn.
"Yeah. Sounds like Rachel" says Brittany. They followed the sounds around the corner, the way back to their apartments. Down the sidewalk, they can make out two women, average heights, one with jet black hair and one with a tone of brown.
"Found them" says Brittany. They slowly make their way to the two. Rachel and Santana were oblivious but Quinn and Brittany were close enough to make out what they were saying.
"Everything leads back to when you first arrived here!" says Rachel.
"Oh yeah? Why is that?!" exclaims Santana.
"All the snooping around and finding things nobody was even suppose to know about" says Rachel.
"Im sorry but thats who I am. You should know that already. And dont act like you havent fucked me over either" says Santana.
"Fine. I admit that we both did things to each other that we are sorry for. But that doesnt change the fact that they happened" says Rachel.
"You're right. They dont. But are we seriously gonna keep bickering about little things like that?" says Santana.
"I guess not" said Rachel, followed by a pregnant pause.
Clearly, they were both just tired and over the bickering.
"I mean, we've come a long way and I dont want to just throw that away" says Santana, breaking the silence.
"Me either. I guess we'll just have to forgive and forget?" says Rachel.
"Well, its kinda hard to forgive if someone spits on your face" says Santana.
"What do you want me to do? Spit on him for you?" asks Rachel.
"Uh. Yeah" says Santana.
Rachel just rolls her eyes.
"Im serious" continues Santana. Rachel's eyes go wide.
A second passes and they both burst out laughing.
"Okay guys. Now hug" says Brittany out of nowhere. Rachel and Santana both jumped from the intrusion.
"Britt" said Quinn, scolding her from interrupting them.
"How long have you guys been standing there?" asked Santana.
"Not long" said Quinn.
"But its not about us. Its about you guys. And I want you guys to hug" said Brittany, making a gesture at them both.
But both of them just stood there, rooted in place, looking at Brittany. Brittany rolled her eyes and pulled Quinn.
Quinn nudged Santana forward as Brittany did the same to Rachel. Both of them rolled their eyes and hugged.
"See. Feel better?" said Brittany.
"Mhm" said Santana, fake smiling.
"Yeah" said Rachel sarcastically.
Quinn was biting her bottom lip to keep from laughing out loud. Santana noticed and hit Quinn lightly on her shoulder, smirking lightly.
"Rachel, can we go home and watch a movie or something? I just wanna cuddle" asked Brittany.
"Sure Britt. Lets go" said Rachel as she holds Brittany's hand, Santana and Quinn behind them.
"Hey! Lets take a walk through the park first" suggests Rachel.
"Sure. I havent been there at night for a while" said Brittany, swinging their hands as they crossed the street to the park.
Santana eyed the two in front of them. Never in a million years would she have thought they would end up together. Let alone, Rachel switching teams. She really thought Rachel and Finn were endgame. Knowing everything that theyve been through, they were bound to always be with each other. But she wonders how Finn feels about it. He never really showed any emotion towards it. She guesses that he just accepts it. She also thought her and Brittany were endgame too. Just as much as Rachel and Finn. She loved Brittany. A lot. Everyone knew that. Even Quinn. Then things changed and one thing led to another. But she wouldnt have it any other way.
Quinn notices Santana was spacing out so she squeezed her hand a little.
"Hey, you okay?" asks Quinn.
"Yeah. Im fine" says Santana as she brings up their hands and kisses that back of Quinn's hand.
Santana looks around and is mesmorized by the view. She loves the way the city lights and buildings are such a contrast to the darkness of the park.
Quinn loves this park. She loves the beauty it holds for itself. And she loves it because its where everything special happened to her. Where Santana asked her to be her girlfriend and later on asked her to marry her.
Quinn takes out her phone and takes a picture of the view. Santana pins a note in the back of her mind.
They were in the middle of the bridge when Rachel and Brittany sat on the edge over the water.
"Where are the ducks?" asks Brittany.
Rachel chuckles. "I think theyre sleeping" says Rachel.
"Boo" says Brittany.
"Hey Britt" says Rachel.
"Yeah Babe?" asks Brittany. Rachel stands up and Brittany turns to face her.
"I wasnt planning to do this right now but.." says Rachel.
Quinn and Santana were nearby watching, cuddling with each other for warmth.
"Are you breaking up with me?" asks Brittany with a pout.
"No! No. Of course not. Im doing the opposite" says Rachel.
Brittany gave her a confused look.
Rachel takes the ring box out of her purse and kneels on one knee. Quinn angles herself and takes a picture.
"Brittany S. Pierce. Will you marry me?" asks Rachel.
"Of course Rachel!" yells Britt, full of excitement. Rachel gets up and kisses Brittany. She then slides the ring on.
The two couples continue walking around the park. Enjoying how less hectic everything is at night. How the pond is quiet and still. It was mid November and the vibrant orange and red leaves were starting to fall off the tree. Santana saw this lady walking her dog.
"Oh my god! Quinn! Look at that dog! Its so cute!" said Santana excitedly. Quinn had no idea Santana felt that way about dogs. She walked up to the lady.
"Can I pet your dog?" asked Santana.
"Sure" said the lady. Santana bent down and started talking to the dog and petting it. Maybe Quinn will ta
They made their way back around and decided to go back home. They figured everybody would be back by now.
Quinn noticed these headlights in the distance swirving and coming towards them fast.
"Hey! Look out!" yells Quinn.
