Rescue Me, Love Me, Mr Hudson

Chapter Seven

Finn looked at Santana, and sighed, he needed Santana calm down before she caused other teachers to come and find out what was going on, he couldn't lose his license, he needed it, it was his lively hold, but he knew that what he'd done with Rachel was wrong, and that Santana's reaction was allowed.

"Santana, please, calm down," He begged, pushing the papers on his desk aside. Santana snorted in disbelief, had he really told her to calm down? Who was he to tell her to calm down? After everything he had done to her best friend, he had no right to tell her what to do. Santana clenched her fists, her manicured nails digging into her palms.

"Today, you resign today!" Santana told him, exhaling loudly through her flared nostrils.

Finn bowed his head, he knew that this was his only option, he couldn't risk losing everything.

"Okay, Santana, you win, I'll resign." Finn admitted defeat.

Santana stayed with him while he wrote his resignation letter, and made sure that it said he was leaving today, due to emotional, undisclosable reasons. She even waited outside the office, when he handed it to Principle Figgins. When Finn re-emerged from the office, Santana had a smug grin on her face. Just before she was about to return to practise, she turned to Finn, a devious look in her eyes.

"Do not contact Rachel, don't attempt to say goodbye, or even call her, text her, nothing. You leave Ohio tonight. If I see you again, Finn Hudson, I will ruin you." Santana spat, looking him up and down, and then returned to practise. The rest of the day went like a breeze, but when Rachel wouldn't shut up about Finn on the ride home, Santana felt a tinge guilty, she'd single handed taken away the one person that made Rachel happy, but it was illegal, Santana did the right thing. Dropping Rachel off at her house, Santana still didn't tell her that she wouldn't be seeing Finn again; she didn't have it in her to see Rachel heartbroken. It was the next day at school, when Rachel came storming over to Santana in the hallway, angry, bitter, and before Rachel said anything, it dawned on Santana that Rachel should have had Finn for her Spanish lesson, and they would have been told about Finn's departure. Santana swallowed the saliva that had collected in the back of her throat.

"What did you do?" Rachel exploded, throwing her arms into the air. Santana flinched, thinking that Rachel was going to hit her, because she wouldn't put it past her, Rachel had slapped Santana on plenty of occasions. It hurt, like hell.

"What are you talking about?" Santana played dumb, trying not to cause a scene in the middle of the corridor. Rachel glared, she was furious; Santana took a subtle step back, so that Rachel didn't have as much close range to slap her.

"Finn, Santana, fucking Finn! He's resigned, what did you do?" Rachel hissed, clenched her jaw, putting her hands on her hips, tapping her foot impatiently.

She isn't half sexy when she's mad Santana brushed the inappropriate thought out of her head, this was neither the time nor the place for that.

"Maybe he had a guilty conscience, and decided that it was the best if he left," Santana lied, and she knew Rachel knew she was lying. Rachel couldn't take much more of this front Santana, what was going on? Why had she sent him away?

"Santana, I know you had something to do with it." Rachel turned on her heels, and stormed down the corridor. Rachel didn't even know if she was going to be able to forgive Santana, not if she really had made him leave her. Finn was the only thing that was keeping her sane, keeping her confusion about herself at bay. Santana watched Rachel walk away, and in a burst of frustration punched her locker. People were staring at her, giving her dirty looks.
"What? I can punch you in the face if you like." Santana glared at them, causing them all to look away. What was going to happen? Santana knew that Rachel would hate her when she found out what she had done, Santana didn't want her to hate her, but she didn't want Finn in the picture.
