"Guys I want you to welcome Finn to the club," Mr. Schue announced. Santana looked up and then looked to Rachel who was starry eyed looking at Finn. Santana rolled her eyes and looked back down to her hands and continued to file her nails. "We are also performing You're the Only One I want and I was thinking that Rachel and Finn could take the leads for us," Mr. Schue said.
"Hell no, no I don't approve," Santana spoke up glaring at Mr. Schue then at Finn.
"What Santana, do you not approve of the song again?" Mr. Schue asked with a sigh.
"No just the pairing. Finn needs to learn how to walk and sing at the same time before he sings that song at all, never the less with Rachel," Santana said. Rachel glared at her.
"I disagree, I think that mine and Finn's voices will be amazing together," Rachel argued.
"Great so it's settled that's what it's going to be," Mr. Schue said.
"Fuck this, I'm not going to stand in the back ground sway, while these two stare at one another like the other is the most amazing person in the world, thanks but no thanks," Santana said. She stood and walked out of the room. The halls were empty because of class, half way down the hall she felt a searing burn in her chest.
"FUCK!" Santana yelled and fell to her knees clenching her chest. Tears slid down her face while she gasped and tried to keep breathing. After a while the initial pain wore off and all there was a pulse of throbbing.
"What happened?" Santana questioned herself.
"You made a mistake," Santana jumped at the sudden voice in her head.
"The fuck?" she muttered looking around.
"Language Buttercup," the voice reprimanded. Santana's eyes widened.
"Abuelo?" Santana asked.
"Si Santana, you cannot revert to your previous self. The pain you experienced was repercussions of that. You must be careful," he said.
"What? So I'm supposed to just let Rachel to be with Finn. I'm here to change that!" Santana yelled.
"No, you're supposed to be who you are, not the same person. Santana if you continue your chance will be taken away and you will be reverted back to your death," her grandfather said. Santana grumbled and nodded. After a while she didn't hear anything else and the throbbing pain went away. She sighed and stood before making her way back to the choir room. They were all practicing when she returned and then they all went silent. Santana took a deep breath.
"I'm sorry for…. Being a bitch. Finn and Rachel should do the duet and I'll sway and give backup vocals," Santana said. Everyone stared at her in shock including Mr. Schue.
"Um, you're forgiven. Please join the others in the back," Mr. Schue said. Santana nodded and stood next to Kurt.

After Glee practice Santana made her way out of the room quickly, but Rachel was close behind.
"Santana wait," Rachel called. Santana stopped and spun around.
"What?" she asked.
"Why in the world did you do that in beginning of Glee?' Rachel questioned.
"Because I like you Rachel, okay you know that I know that, by the end of the day everyone will know that. I know how you feel and think about Finn!" Santana yelled. Rachel looked taken aback.
"I told you I need some time Santana," Rachel replied.
"And I told you that I was fine, anything I can do to help I will, but if you're just going to go be with someone else to figure it out, just tell me now that you don't want to deal with me and I'm gone forever," Santana told her. Rachel couldn't help the painful twinge she received in her chest from what Santana said.
"What do you mean forever?" she questioned softly.
"By forever I mean forever. You won't see or hear from me ever again," Santana replied before walked away. Rachel shook her head trying to wrap her head around this feeling in her chest. She made her way to the auditorium and sat on the stage. Rachel sat there thinking for what seemed like hours. What if Santana was gone forever? In the end Rachel decided she literally couldn't live without Santana's smile and laugh. It dawned on Rachel that she could possibly be in love with Santana. Rachel gathered her things and rushed outside. She noticed the parking lot was nearly empty; she checked her phone and noticed that she sat in the auditorium for over an hour.
To Santana: What's your address?
From Santana: Why?
To Santana: Because I need to talk with you face to face.
From Santana: If you're going to say that you're still going to pursue Finn then just tell me now
To Santana: JUST GIVE ME YOU'RE ADDRESS!
After that Rachel received the address and she drove there quickly. She knocked on Santana door and it opened to an unamused Santana.
"Seriously Rachel if you're-" Santana was cut off by the lips that she has quickly become addicted to. She reciprocated before Rachel pulled away.
"I can't imagine my life without you in it. I need you Santana… I don't understand why but I do. I want to be with you," Rachel said in one breath. Santana stared at her for a second before smiling widely and bringing Rachel into a hug.
"You don't even realize this, but you literally saved my life," Santana whispered.
