Quinntana Fanfiction: Now and Forever
Chapter 8: No Big Deal
Quinn pushes Santana back behind her and runs to push Brittany and Rachel out of the way.
The car zooms passes them and the three end up crashing to the ground. Santana takes a second to process what just happens then runs to them and helps them up.
"Are you guys okay? Did anyone get hit?" asks Santana.
"We're fine. Just minor scratches from falling" says Quinn as Santana pulls her up. She helps Rachel and Brittany up too. She checks each one of them for any other injuries.
"Hey Quinn. Thanks for saving us" says Rachel.
"Oh. No big deal" says Quinn.
"No. It is. We couldve died. And we just got engaged a few minutes ago. To us, its a pretty big deal" says Rachel.
"Well in that case, you guys are welcome" says Quinn as Brittany and Rachel hug her.
"Come on. Lets get home before anything else happens" says Santana, intertwining her hand with Quinn. They were glad that they lived just a block away from the park. Rachel and Britt were busy talking about other stuff so Santana decided to say something to Quinn.
"That was really brave of you" said Santana.
"Pshh. No" says Quinn, slightly blushing.
"You need to stop denying. Because it was brave. You saved my life too. If you hadnt pushed me, I wouldve been hit. So thank you" said Santana.
Quinn just smiled and leaned in to give Santana a kiss. They decided to go up and stay at Rachel's loft for a little while. They walked in and everybody was in there. Mike, Puck and Finn were on the couch playing a video game and screaming at the tv. Tina and Mercedes were talking in the corner. Kurt and Blaine were cuddling on one of the chairs.
"Where were you guys?" asked Kurt as he saw Rachel and the others walk in.
"Oh you know. We just took a stroll through the park and almost got ran over by a speeding driver. Its fine" said Quinn.
"What?! Are you guys okay?" asks Kurt.
"Yeah yeah. But thats not all because I have an announcement to make" said Rachel.
Everybody stopped what they were doing and looked at them.
"So at the park, before we almost got ran over, I decided to propose to Brittany! We're getting married!" says Rachel.
Everybody starts cheering and goes up to congratulate them.
"Congrats you guys! Just tell me what you want and I'll plan your wedding" said Mercedes.
"We're so happy for you!" squeals Kurt as he hugs both of them.
"Congrats Jew sister and blonde sister" says Puck.
"Im really happy for you guys" says Finn. But Santana notices his smile falter when he walks away. Everybody was so occupied with everything else, Finn took this as a moment to leave and get fresh air. But Santana noticed. She told Quinn that she'll be right back and follows Finn upstairs.
Meanwhile in the loft, Quinn has this confused expression but snapped out of it when she got scared from a loud pop. The others were opening a champaigne bottle to celebrate.
Santana finds Finn on the roof, looking over the edge. She walks up to him and stands next to him, enjoying the view.
Santana doesnt need to say anything. Finn knows why shes there. So she just waits until hes ready to talk.
"I thought I could handle it" says Finn. Santana stays quiet.
"This whole Rachel and Brittany thing. I thought they wouldnt last. And she'll come running back to me. But they lasted. Now theyre engaged. Im still in love with her. But she doesnt love me anymore" says Finn.
"How do you know?" asks Santana, although she already knows.
"Because she looks at Brittany the way she used to look at me" says Finn.
He sighs and buries his head in his hands.
"I dont know what to do" he says.
"The only thing you can do is to support them" says Santana.
"But its so hard, you know?" says Finn, turning to look at Santana.
"I know. But I also know that you can get through this" says Santana.
"And how do you know that?" asks Finn.
"Because youre the one who taught us not to give up" says Santana. Finn smiles and gives Santana a hug, lifting her up. Her feet barely touching the ground.
"Thanks for pushing me out of the way earlier. So I wouldnt get hit by Brody" says Santana once Finn releases her.
"No biggie. That fight was between him and I. But that slap was amazing" said Finn as he gave her a high five.
"I know right. So what do you say? Wanna go back down and join the rest?" asks Santana.
"Not quite" says Finn.
Santana gives him a confused look.
"Its kinda nice out here" says Finn.
"It is. You can never find this during the day in the city" says Santana.
She looks up. She can see a star or two, but not much because of the lights.
"The stars here dont beat Lima though" says Santana. Finn looks up.
He chuckles. "Yeah. Not even close" says Finn.
"Earlier in the bathroom, I got mad at Rachel. Thats why I left early" says Santana.
"Why? What did she say?" asked Finn.
"She asked if I was okay and I told her I wasnt. Because it was all her fault" said Santana. Finn just nodded.
"Then she started defending herself by saying that we shouldve left it alone" continued Santana.
"But we did her a favor. Our intentions were good. Brody is a fricken man gigalo" says Finn.
"Yeah. I know. But I got mad because it was like she was blaming us even if we stood up for her" says Santana.
"Well, are you guys still bickering?" asked Finn.
"No. We made up after. Sorta. Brittany and Quinn forced us to hug" said Santana.
Finn chuckled. They both turned around when they heard footsteps approaching them.
"What are you two doing out here?" asked Quinn.
"We're just talking" said Finn.
"Well, come on. Lets go back down. You guys are missing out" says Quinn as she grabs both of their hands and leads them to the door.
They slide the loft door and cant believe what they were seeing. Brittany was doing a body shot off of Rachel and Kurt was doing one off of Blaine. Loud music was playing from somewhere in the loft and Mike and Puck were running around with their shirts off whacking each other with pillows. Tina and Mercedes were in the kitchen trying to hide from the madness.
"Hey! Can I pla-" Finn gets cut off by being hit in the face with a pillow.
"Oh, its on" says Finn as he grabs another pillow and starts running, jumping over the couples making out in the middle.
"Holy shit? What happened when were gone?" asked Santana as they join Mercedes and Tina in the kitchen.
"Theyre all drunk" says Quinn.
"That explains it" says Santana. She watches everyone in the living room. She sees how Finn ducks behind the couch for cover from Puck and how Mike sneaks up behind him. She watches how Rachel and Brittany decide to get up and go into their bedroom while keeping their lips attached. She watches how Blaine and Kurt are practically undressing but nobody even seems to care.
"What were you and Finn talking about" asked Quinn.
"Oh, you know. Just a little vent session about Rachel" said Santana.
"Dont worry. Its nothing you should worry about" she continued when Quinn eyed her. Santana leaned in and gave Quinn a kiss. Santana yawned and rested her head on Quinn's shoulder.
"You wanna go home?" asked Quinn.
"Hmm" mumbled Santana.
"Come on. Lets go" said Quinn as she got up, helping Santana up to her feet.
"We're gonna go" said Quinn to Mercedes and Tina. They both waved bye as they made their way out the door.
When they got home, Santana barely made it to the bed.
"Why are you so tired?" asked Quinn as she changed.
"I dunno. Maybe cuz of the fighting. And I did get pushed around a bit" said Santana as Quinn got into bed with her.
Santana immediately cuddled into Quinn.
And for once, it seemed like everything would be okay.
Or not. Because who knows what else the others might do that night to scar themselves. Plus they would all have a wicked hangover the next morning.
