Santana walked Finn to his door. She handed him his coat but he wrapped his arms around her and rested his forehead on hers when the door swung open, revealing a very puzzled Carole Hummel.
"Finn, who is this?" Carole asked.
"Hey Ms. Huds- I mean Ms. Hummel. I'm Santana Lopez... I haven't seen you since I was ten. I went to day care with Finn," Santana said, looking at Finn and linking her hand with his.
"Santana? Wow, you've really...grown up," Carole sounded shocked. Finn chuckled.
"Um, Mom? Santana is my girlfriend," Finn explained. Carole looked even more surprised.
"What happened to Rachel?" She asked. Santana frowned slightly.
"We broke up. She cheated on me. Santana helped make everything better," Finn admitted. Santana rolled her eyes at his 'mushyness'.
"You are such a softy!" Santana teased him. Finn gave her a crooked smile. Carole smiled then, a slow but true smile.
Finn walked down the hallways of WMHS when all of a sudden a very angry hand pinned him to the lockers.
"You and Santana?" Puck growled.
"Get off of me!" Finn said and pushed Puck away.
"Why? Huh? Why did she pick you?" Puck demanded. Finn glared at him.
"Because I care about her!" Finn argued.
"Well why the hell did you have to pick her? She was my 'buddy'," Puck yelled. Finn pushed Puck back into the lockers.
"Because Santana cares about me too. And if you touch her like that again..." Finn threatened. Puck frowned.
"You don't care about her...this is you getting revenge on me for Rachel and Quinn!" Puck accused him. Finn slammed Puck against the lockers again.
"No it isn't! Shut up," Finn growled. Santana ran over to him.
"Puck, what the hell did you do to him?" Santana yelled, looking at the bruise forming on Finn's face. She placed her hand on his face. She gently ran her thumb over the injured area and looked into his eyes, trying to get him to calm down. Then she turned to Puck.
"Don't touch him," she spat. Puck walked away slowly. Santana turned and gave Finn a flirty smile, running her fingers down his chest.
"That bruise is going to look so hot," she laughed. Finn grinned at her. He captured her lips quickly and let out a breathy laugh.
"You are one frightening girl when you need to be," Finn told her. Santana rolled her eyes.
"Duh,"
And then they went to get Finn an ice pack. Santana smiled to herself, she could fix Finn physically and emotionally.
She was learning how to care for people. And no one would ever hurt Finn again if she had it her way.
