Rumor Has It/ Someone Like You Chapter 4
RPOV
"Quinn how far would you go to help out Santana?" I asked as she pulled into my driveway. She cut the ignition behind my car and looked over at me.
"I'd do anything for her, why do you ask?"
"I have an idea."
"Let me hear it?"
I went through the plan telling her exactly what I had planned watching her facial change as I got further and further into my plan. At the end of it all she smiled at me and took my hand.
"Rach, this is a great idea and I can't wait to do it. Thank you for doing this for Santana." She kissed my knuckles and I blushed.
"We have to talk to the teachers and I'll call Kurt so he can start us off if we are approved." I said
"You take Shelby, I'll take Mr. Schue. I hope this works."
"Me too see you tomorrow." I said as I exited her car.
"Hey Rach. can I pick you up for school tomorrow? Since we're friends and all."
I nodded "That should be fine."
Her smile widened and she started he car.
As I walked up to my front door I pulled out my cell phone and she pulled out of my driveway.
Hey Rach.
Kurt I have and idea and I need your help
Well let's hear it.
Next Day Glee Club
"Mr. Schue what are they doing here?" Tina asked as the TroubleTones made their way in with Shelby. They all took a seat Brittany on the side that wasn't occupied with Quinn and Santana next to her.
"To explain this we'll let Quinn and Rachel have the floor."
I stood from my seat turning to see Quinn still in her seat. She looked at me and said softly.
"This is all you Rach." I nodded, my eyes connecting with Finn briefly catching his disgusting facial expression.
"Well fellow glee clubbers this in the light of newly found evidence Quinn and I have spoken to both of our Glee club teachers and we're going to combine for this week's lesson. This week we're going to be doing songs by ladies and for ladies."
"Oh hell no." Santana said as Brittany rubbed her arm.
"Next week we're all going to be going to Sectionals and one of us is probably going to win; but Santana we're worried about you. Glee is about accepting yourself for who you are and that's what this music is all about." Quinn piped up
"So what I don't even get a say in this? Not cool." Santana said as I could see her resolve weakening.
"Santana everyone in this room knows about you and Brittany and we don't judge you for it we celebrate it because it's who you are. It's true not everyone outside of this room is accepting and cool but we're doing this assignment this week so that you know in this rotten stinking world you have at least a group of people who will support you no matter what."
She looked at Brittany then at Quinn then back at me and nodded. I smiled shyly and called up Blaine and Kurt. As I sat next to Quinn I caught Finn's facial expression and I ducked my head from the scrutiny. Quinn sensed my discomfort and looked back at him giving him a scowl.
"Santana Kurt and I have this song we like to sing while we're in the car and we would like to do it for you now."
"I know its hard San; but you will more than get through this." Kurt added as he nodded to the musicians.
Made a wrong turn once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life
I looked over at Santana with an expressionless look on her face. I felt a pair of eyes on me as I saw Quinn looking at me as Kurt sang.
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss 'No way, it's all good'
It didn't slow me down.
Mistaken, always second guessing
Underestimated, look I'm still around
Brittany took her hand and squeezed it grabbing my other hand and doing the same. Artie looked back and gave her a slight smile as Blaine jumped in.
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than less than perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you are perfect to me
Everyone started swaying and bobbing to the music as the boys continued to sing their hearts out.
You're so mean (you're so mean)
When you talk (when you talk)
About yourself. You were wrong.
Change the voices (change the voices)
In your head (in your head)
Make them like you instead.
Brittany let go of my hand and grabbed for Quinn as they held hands over my lap I held on to both of their hands and smiled.
So complicated,
Look happy, You'll make it
Filled with so much hatred
Such a tired game
It's enough, I've done all I could think of
Chased down all my demons
I've seen you do the same
(Ohh ohhhhhhh)
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than less than perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you are perfect
As Blaine started the rapping part Santana's eyes bugged open and I laughed at the look of disbelief on her face.
The whole world's scared, so I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in line and we try try try but we try too hard
And it's a waste of my time.
Done looking for the critics, cause they're everywhere
They don't like my jeans, they don't get my hair
Exchange ourselves and we do it all the time
Why do we do that, why do I do that (why do I do that)?
The room had a consensus of smiles as Rory leaned forward hugging Quinn and I and Mike and Tina both stood in their seats dancing; even Finn was moving in his seat.
(Yeah! Ooooh!)
I'm pretty, pretty, pretty
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than less than perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you are perfect to me
(Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than less than perfect)
You're perfect, you're perfect to me
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you are perfect to me.
Santana smiled brightly and said.
"Thank you guys, thank you Rachel especially you know with all the horrible crap I've been through in my life now I get to add that." With that she stood and walked out of the room.
Both Quinn and Brittany hopped out of their seats but Quinn stopped Brittany and followed Santana out through the door.
QPOV
Okay we all know Santana is a bitch that lashes out when she's bottling up something but that was just uncalled for. I stopped B from following her and I followed her onto the tracks where I knew she would be headed. I prayed internally that she didn't run because I wasn't dressed to run at all.
Catching up to her she sat on a bleacher with her head in her lap.
"What the hell S." I said going to sit next to her.
"Leave me alone Q."
"No, Santana Rachel planned this entire thing for you and you spit it back in her face; what's that all about?" I asked
"What does it mean to you?" she asked
"I care about her and I care about you Santana and I know when something is bugging you now are you going to tell me what's up or will I have to beat it out of you?" I asked
She looked at me and smiled.
"Please bitch I'm Lima heights Adjacent you couldn't touch me."
"S-" I started.
"Fine, I told my parents lastnight. B was there."
"So what happened and why did you call me?"
"They were fine with it, they both said they had a suspicion but they gave me the benefit of the doubt."
I pulled her into me as I saw that the look of relief I expected didn't appear.
"So what's the problem?"
"I have to tell mi abuela before the ad runs and you know how she is Q."
"Regardless Santana the way you treated your friends wasn't right and you know it." I said hugging her tightly.
"They really are our friends aren't they?" She asked sniffling and wiping away tears I hadn't realized she had been shedding.
"Don't act like that's such a bad thing Lopez, we weren't good people before them and they helped mold us."
"Yeah I know" She sighed
I pulled her up with me and hugged her tighter.
"Let's go there's more to come the remainder of this week, I promise"
"Can I ask you something, well make an observation?"
"Sure S."
"You like Berry." She said knowingly.
"Is it that obvious?" I asked blushing
"Well I do have an awesome gaydar so I know these things. Don't worry I'll help you get you girl."
"No worries, I'm giving her time to deal."
"You know Q I never thanked you for being my friend."
"Bestfriend bitch and don't you forget it." I replied laughing
"Well if you and Berry ever get together you two will be happy together."
"I think so, just gotta wait and see what happens."
"Let's head back inside. I think we have one more performance today." I said.
RPOV
"Hey Rach can I speak to you outside?" Finn asked
"Sure, Quinn and Santana should be back soon."
He followed me outside.
"What's up?"
"Are you dating Quinn now?" he asked with a disgusted, hurt, angry look on his face.
"What? No, we broke up yesterday Finn."
He nodded looking relief when he realized I never discredited being with Quinn ever.
"So is that to say that you would date her at some point?" he asked
I scoffed not really sure how to answer.
"Look Finn, you and I broke up I love you as a friend I realize that now. I never really had any romantic feelings towards you and that's one reason I broke up with you; as for Quinn we just started being friends and not like it's your business but who I choose to date is none of your business." I huffed attempting to walk back into the choir room.
Finn grabbed my hand in attempt to pull me back.
"It is when you want to be a dyke, what do you think my friends will say?" He asked
I struggled to get away as a voice behind him spoke up.
"They will say one of two things. Let her go back inside and let's forget that you just grabbed her and called her that word, or they will say that I will call Puck and tell him what you just called his Jewbabe. Now Hudson, what would you like to choose, door number 1 or door number 2?" Finn dropped his hand from me and Santana and Quinn filed in next to us.
"Well which is it Finnessa? I may be gay but I bet I can make your life a living hell for you if I chose to." Santana said. Quinn motioned for me to stand with her and Finn huffed and walked away.
"Thanks a lot Santana, Quinn."
"No problem Berry." Santana said turning to walk back into glee.
"You okay?" Quinn asked inspecting every visible inch of my arms.
"I'm fine, come on Noah heard about the assignment from Kurt and prepared a song.
We headed back into the choir room as Santana handed Kurt Finn's bag telling him that finn had to run off.
Noah stood at the front of the choir room guitar in hand as he started strumming.
Please baby can't you see
My mind's a burnin' hell
I got razors a rippin' and tearin' and strippin'
My heart apart as well
Tonight you told me
That you ache for something new
And some other woman is lookin' like something
That might be good for you
Go on and hold her till the screaming is gone
Go on believe her when she tells you nothing's wrong
Noah's eyes never left my moms as he sang the first couple notes.
But I'm the only one
Who'll walk across the fire for you
I'm the only one
Who'll drown in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run
The demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
I'm the only one
Santana and Brittany were huddled together rocking back and forth as the song continued on.
Please baby can't you see
I'm trying to explain
I've been here before and I'm locking the door
And I'm not going back again
Her eyes and arms and skin won't make it go away
You'll wake up tomorrow and wrestle the sorrow
That holds you down today
Quinn took my hand into hers as he sang and gave me reassuring glances as she could sense that I was still shaken from the incident with Finn.
Go on and hold her till the screaming is gone
Go on believe her when she tells you nothing's wrong
But I'm the only one
Who'll walk across the fire for you
I'm the only one
Who'll drown in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run
The demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
I'm the only one
Rory smiled brightly as Artie moved his upper body.
Go on and hold her till the screaming is gone
Go on believe her when she tells you nothing's wrong
But I'm the only one
Who'll walk across the fire for you
And I'm the only one
Who'll drown in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run
The demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
I'm the only one
And I'm the only one
Who'll drown in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run
The demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
I'm the only one
Quinn and I looked at each other disbelievingly as Noah finished his song staring at my mom. Could the rest of glee club really not see the sexual tension between my mother and my ex- boyfriend. I shivered slightly and Quinn leaned in to whisper in my ear.
"I know how you feel."
I looked at Quinn and leaned in. "What are you talking about."
She motioned from Noah to my mom and shivered. I smiled and shook the visual out of my head.
"That was for you." He started staring at my mom then finished "Santana, yeah I know I was part of a phase but I'm happy to oblige always."
Mr. Schuester dismissed us and started packing up our sheet music with the help of Quinn.
"Hey guys, you two wanna go to an early movie to get the stress of the week out of our systems?" Santana asked taking Brittany's hand into hers
Quinn looked at me and back at Santana.
"San it's only Tuesday."
"Whatever Q, you in or out?"
I shrugged at Quinn and she nodded agreeing to meet them in the parking lot in 15 minutes.
This chapter was focused heavily on Santana as you can see and some things have obviously been changed to suit the way i want my story to go. Let me know what you think. I know some of you have no sympathy for Santana in the show but I hope you enjoy this chapter nonetheless. Let me know when you're ready for the update i have it all ready for you guys :)
Specks :)
