Thank you guys so much for staying with me :)

I do not own Glee, and I do not own Blaqk Audio.

For the sake of this story, Santana wrote this song with Elma.

Chapter 5 - The Fear on Being Found

"Alright first up, we have Santana and Elma!" Mr Shue announced to the entire glee club as we took the stage in the auditorium. It's been a month since the kiss, and to be honest. Elma's not that bad. She was seeming to be harsh, even I wouldn't kiss someone in the middle of the coffee shop. Well maybe I would but not anymore. We got stuck working on a group project, write a song. Trouty Mouth however, was unacceptable for our first attempt so we were forced to do this again. I took center stage, and she was on the piano behind me with a mic.

(Santana)

I have been a world apart
Stuck in between time.
Head into the ground I'm found
Falling through fault lines.
I feel see through.
Can you see through me?

*Flashback*

"So nothing scares you?" she asked looking at me. To be honest nothing did, maybe being a Lesbian did to some degree, but that was because I had a reputation to maintain. I couldn't have some girl when I've shagged every guy on the market. Plus I know McKinley, Jacob would've aired it on his next broadcast, I'd be the next Kurt. Or worse. I couldn't have that.

We already wrote our song, I think my performance was good. But Elma claimed that my performance was lacking passion.

"Nope"

"I think you're lying."

(Both)

Could I change one thing?
Could I change your mind?
Shall we burn it just like the last time?
I can't change a thing, can't explain why I never felt it
Not even the first time.

*flashback*

"What makes you say that?"

"You make it too easy." I glared at her with a blank expression.

"Okay, okay, then. Hm, let's fake passion!"

"What the hell? That doesn't even sound the same."

"Here me out, let's talk about Britney,"

(Santana)

Raise a glass and toast the flame
Just like the old days.
Swallow, but be careful, don't drown
The new ways you could say:
"Would you change this time?"
I'll begin to change my mind
When you can explain why
I feel see through.
Can you feel me?

"What about Brit?"

"Obviously you had feelings for her, channel those feelings, then make them as strong as you could be. Let's say about whatever you were afraid of as a kid?"

That girls in the locker room would realize, that I liked looking at them as they changed. "The dark I guess, or I had this monkey named Mr. Num Nums, and he got lost in my closet once, I was six, I didn't know he would come back."

"Then there channel your emotions to that"

(Both)

Could I change one thing?
Could I change your mind?
Shall we burn it just like the last time?
I can't change a thing, can't explain why I never felt it
Not even the first time.

I think I realized something now, I'm a lesbian, nothing's going to change that. Meeting Britney in the locker room, that was fate. I can deny it all I want to but unless some guy's magical I have nothing to hide anymore.

I broke. I broke down into tears, crying so hard I thought I'd stop breathing. I couldn't stop, no one knew, all this time, I was this bitter bitch from my feelings, that I was so easy to hide because I was s girl. I cried for the way I treated Kurt, I cried for everything wrong I-I can't even begin to think how much this will kill me to hide, or even really kill me to tell.

through my tears, I felt a warm pair of arms surround me and hold me close. I didn't run, I have nowhere else to go but some stranger that I barely knew.

(Elma)

Shall we?
Nothings different

"Now, you've got some emotion. Let's try it again." she waited til my tears subsided. Hugged me, and gave a small peck to my cheek.

(Both)

Could I change one thing?
Could I change your mind?
Shall we burn it just like the last time?
I can't change a thing, can't explain why I never felt it
Not even the first time.

"For one I may say that was an amazing performance. The piano ensemble was fantastic, your dress being phenomenal, you're-" Rachel began midway through the applause.

"Rachel, Rachel, thank you." Mr. Shue said. "That was actually the best I think I've seen.

"Aside from my and Kurt's performance."

"Phenomenal job you guys, I look forward to your next project." Everyone clapped. I'm not afraid of them, I'm still head bitch of the school, it was just a project no one ever has to know. But for some odd unapparent reason, there's this pang of guilt as if I need to tell everyone. I looked to Elma. Somehow I think even without telling her, she knows.

She had the nerve to smile at me, everyone else had gone.

"Fuck you." I said running backstage, I was barely there before breaking down into tears.

She confuses me, she knows everything, but nothing. I told her about my feelings for Brit, I convinced myself it was just her though. Somehow she knows this too, I just-I can't.

"Hiding gets you everywhere and nowhere in life remember that." Her words echoed through my ears. For the second time her arms wrapped around me.

"There's nothing to be afraid of, I'm sorry." she whispered in my ear.
