*Author's Note: I wonder if anyone can guess the irony in this chapter . It's okay if you can't, I was just wondering if anyone could. :)
Chapter 5
"Breadstix."
"What?"
"You, me, BreadstiX tonight at eight."
Santana rolled her eyes at her blonde dimwitted boyfriend.
"That's all you came up with? BreadstiX? I want to be dazzled, Sam, dazzle me."
Santana began to walk away but Sam grabbed her arm.
"What has been your problem lately?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Every idea I have you shoot it down, every call or text I give you it magically doesn't reach you?" Santana shifted her books in her arms, "I don't know what has been up with you lately but I'm not liking this new Santana."
"I'm sorry if my new appeal to better quality is too much for you."
"Yeah, it's too much…its way too much."
Sam walked off; Santana shifted her books again and glanced towards Artie and Brittany who were talking near the English classroom. Santana rolled her eyes and walked off.
Later in Glee Club…
Mr. Schue clapped his hands together and approached New Directions with enthusiasm.
"So, who has a confessional song they'll like to sing?"
"I do, Mr. Schue." Sam raised his hand and took a step off of the row and made his way down towards the center of the room. He took a stool from the back of the choir room and took a seat on it. He looked at Santana, but didn't smile or show any form of happiness towards her. He pointed his finger to Brad to start the soft melody; he adjusted himself on the stool and kept his eyes on Santana.
"Look we gotta talk
Dang I know
I know it's just
It's just...
Some things I gotta get of my chest alright...
Yeahhhh...
Whoa, whoa, whoa, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, oh, whoa...
Listen...
Baby come here and sit down, let's talk
I got a lot to say so I guess I'll start by
Saying that I love you,
But you know, this thing ain't been
No walk in the park for us…"
All eyes were finding their way towards Santana; she shifted in her seat and folded her arms. She couldn't believe this was Sam's confession: He wanted to break up with her.
"…I swear it'll only take a minute
You'll understand when I finish, yeah
And I don't wanna see you cry
But I don't wanna be the one to tell you a lie so
How do you let it go? When you,
You just don't know? What's on,
The other side of the door
When you're walking out, talk about it
Everything I tried to remember to say
Just went out my head
So I'ma do the best I can to get you to understand
'cause I know
There's never a right time to say goodbye
But I gotta make the first move
'Cause if I don't you gonna start hating me…"
Brittany's eyes shifted towards Santana's but Santana ignored her.
"…Cause I really don't feel the way I once felt about you
Girl it's not you, it's me
I kinda gotta figure out what I need (oh)
There's never a right time to say goodbye
But we know that we gotta go
Our separate ways
And I know it's hard but I gotta do it,
And it's killing me
Cause there's never a right time
Right time to say goodbye…"
The music died down and there was applause held across the choir room, everywhere except the seat where Santana was sitting. Sam stood up from his stool and made his way towards his seat beside Santana.
"Another hand for Sam, guys!" Mr. Schue instructed. Everyone clapped yet Santana remained silent, "Whose next?"
"I have a song." Quinn announced proudly.
"Let's hear it." As Quinn made her way down onto the center of the floor and instructed the band to play It Takes Two by Tina Turner, Santana turned to face Sam.
"That's how you tell me that it's over? In front of everyone in Glee Club?" She whispered
"The assignment was confessions, and that was my confession. I haven't been feeling the same way about you and I didn't know how to tell you."
"One can have a dream baby
Two can make the dream so real
One can talk about living love
Two can see how it really feels …"
"You still love her, don't you?" Santana questioned, in reference to Quinn.
Sam shifted in his seat and folded his arms, "That doesn't matter."
"It does, Sam."
"Fine, I'm still in love with Quinn but your heart is clearly not in this relationship either."
Santana glanced at Brittany and Artie out the corner of her eye.
"…One can wish upon a star
Two can make a wish come true
One can stand alone in the dark
Two can make the light shine through…"
Santana sighed heavily, "Then what do we do now then?"
"I don't know honestly, do you want to work it out?"
Santana crossed her legs and thought for a moment, memories of Sam and Brittany floated through her mind.
"There's no point of staying in a relationship when we're clearly not all the way into it. You have your loves and I have mine. Let's just call it mutual and end this before either one of us really gets hurt."
"Deal."
"Deal."
"…It takes two baby it takes two baby
Just me and you
You know it takes two…"
