Note: Thanks for the reviews! Here's the next chapter- sorry that they're both a bit short but I'm pretty busy at the moment, maybe they'll get longer as the story goes on. Maybe. Thank you so much for reading and, once again, enjoy!

As Rachel plonked herself down into the seat that Finn had reserved for her, she let out a heavy sigh. "I am honestly so, so sorry for what just happened. I- I-" Rachel paused to swallow hard. "I don't know why what happened, happened. But in any case I hope that you can find it in your slightly-clumsy heart to forgive me?" Her tone turned the apology into a question, and Finn gave her a small smile.
"Of course, honey. We all make mistakes. I mean, look at my dancing." He leaned in and gave her a quick kiss which she eagerly returned, hoping that perhaps if she put more effort into the kiss, she'd actually feel something in it. They came apart and the lights dimmed. The Troubletones were now on stage, all dressed in black, and a heavy drum beat started before the girls chimed in with harmonizing "ooh"s. Mercedes began to sing, and as Kurt recognised the song he leaned over and whispered to Rachel, "Dammit, I wanted to be the first to do Adele!" Rachel shushed him and kept watching. There was a pause in the music- it looked like maybe Santana had forgotten how to sing... Mercedes carried on while Santana regained her skill to eventually join in with her half of the mash-up:

I heard that you
Settled down, that you
Found a girl, and you're
Married now...

She seemed to direct the verse at Finn, envy lurking in her eyes.

I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things
I didn't give to you...

Santana switched her gaze to Rachel and the envy turned to sadness and hope and terror and anger and something else that Rachel couldn't quite put her finger on before Santana was walking upstage to join the other girls. She carried on with the routine, all the while thinking about her times with Rachel and how she wished they could just be together; she never managed to get the lovesick look off her face.
"I really am sorry, you know," Rachel said again.
"I know," Finn replied. There was an awkward pause before Finn leant over and whispered, "Her voice is really something."
"Mm, yeah," Rachel replied absentmindedly. Santana looked down at her leaning into Finn and nodding and almost stopped singing in shock and fear.

Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes
It hurts instead

Hearing applause, Santana finally freed her restraint and leapt from the stage; she was a tiger, and Finn was her prey.
"What did you just say to her?" She was terrified; if Finn had told Rachel about what was in her diary she was screwed, and not in the way she wanted to be.
"I said I thought you were great," Finn said, confused.
"No. You're lying." Santana was indignant. She knew what she had seen- that little look on Finn's face was the same look he had whenever he told someone a secret. If only she'd kept her anger to herself and not thrown her diary at him... Stupid, stupid, stupid, she couldn't help but think.
"No, he literally just said that!" Rachel interrupted Santana's thoughts but she ignored the small brunette and addressed Finn again.
"You tell her too?" She was furious now and was this close to going all Lima Heights on him.
"Santana-" She ignored Mr Schue, even when he stood up as if to restrain her.
"Everyone's gonna know now, because of you."
"The whole school already knows! And you know what? They don't care." Finn seemed pleased with his reaction but he wasn't happy for long.
"Not just the school, you idiot, EVERYONE." Santana was on the verge of angry tears, but Finn was being ignorant.
"What're you talking-?" SLAP. The room went silent. Only the rugged, teary breaths of Santana could be heard. Everybody just stared, until suddenly the silence was punctuated by the school bell. It snapped Santana back to reality and she turned on her heel and ran from the building, forsaking all her school things for the comfort and solitude of her car as she sprinted with tears streaming down her face.
