Pulling her through to the back of the auditorium into the dressing room, Santana flung Rachel into the room with her hand still holding onto hers before Rachel pulled her hand away so that Santana could slam the door shut. Rachel folded her arms across her chest and smirked at her.
"Let me guess," she smirked, "The reason you want to talk to me is because something happened on that stage, didn't it?"
Santana turned around to face her. "Yeah," she sighed, "You were right, as per usual."
"Wait a minute," Rachel asked as she raised her index finger up into the air, "Did you just give me a compliment, Santana Lopez?"
"Yeah," she grimaced, "It's horrible, isn't it?"
Rachel took a step towards her and grabbed her hand with hers. "Talk to me," she said to her, "Tell me everything. I want to know. You can talk to me about it, especially because I'm the only person who knows about it."
"When we kissed," she sighed, "It was amazing. I felt a tingling sensation up my entire body and you know when you're watching a movie and the lead character for the first time kisses somebody-"
"There's always fireworks," Rachel interrupted, "Yeah, I know what you mean. I got that too when I first kissed Finn."
"What does that mean?" She questioned her, "Does that mean that I'm in love with him?"
"Oh yeah," Rachel smiled and nodded, "That's exactly what it means."
"Berry," she asked her, "What should I do? I need your help. And last month I wouldn't have even dreamed about asking that, but things change."
"People change," Rachel smiled, "And yes, I'll help you."
"Thank you," she sighed, "I owe you so much. But that doesn't mean that you're taking the lead away from me. He's mine and you're not getting your lips all over my horse face."
"Don't worry," Rachel laughed, "I know this is for you, and yes, this would've been perfect for my Nyada application but this is your chance and I wouldn't want to jeopardise your chance." She shrugged her shoulders, "And besides, I'm gonna be getting the lead in the Regional's and when we go on to win National's, I'm gonna be getting the lead then too."
"And here's the old Rachel Berry back," she groaned.
"No, no, no, no," Rachel panicked, "No, I just wanted to say that. Please don't hate me again."
"Just," she sighed, "Tell me what you think I should be doing. Be a friend to me and give me some good advice because right now, I don't know what to do."
"Okay," Rachel nodded, "I'll do that."
It was the next day at school, Santana had gone home and slept on it, one of the pieces of advice that Rachel gave to her. As she walked down the hallway full of students she had her hands placed on her hips as her pulled back tight ponytail bounced as she walked. Puck stood at his locker as he grabbed his books for his first lesson that he didn't give a damn about, school was the last thing on his mind at the moment, as he stared into the back of his locker Santana appeared around the corner noticing him standing at his locker, she took a deep breath and made her way towards him. Finally reaching him she took another deep breath and tapped on his shoulder which caused him to turn his head towards her, he looked at her with sadden, soft eyes.
"Puck," she sighed, "We need to talk about something."
"I think I know what you're gonna say," he replied sadly.
"You do?" She asked with surprise, "How?"
"I was there yesterday," he informed her, "I am a part of the cast you know, I saw everything that happened between the two of you, and I know that it wasn't acting because even though you're a great actress, nobody could act the way that you two kissed there, the way that you reacted after the kiss."
"Puck," she replied sadly, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you like that."
"You didn't," he told her, "I've known all along that you two have a thing for one another, I've seen the way that he's looked at you," he clenched his fist together with anger, "And I pounded his pretty boy face with my fist."
"Puck," she said to him as she reached down for his hand, "Calm down." He glanced down at their hands together and she too looked down at their hands before pulling her hand away from him. "Look, I'm sorry," she added, "I really didn't mean to hurt you like that. I really didn't."
"You know what," he told her, "It's fine, don't worry about it."
"Now I feel really bad about it," she sighed, "I feel like a real bitch." She shrugged and smiled, "Well, I am a bitch, but I'm still sorry about it."
"Look," he told her, "I should've seen it from the start but I was too stupid to see it. I mean, I saw it but I was just in denial about it. I thought that I would win against him because of who I am and all, but obviously I didn't because that guy was the one who won your heart. Not me."
"I really am sorry, Puck," she told him, "If I could go back and change it all, then I would."
"I wouldn't," he shrugged, "Because I had fun with you, and yeah, I admit that I wasn't the best boyfriend in the world, but I tried my best."
"I know that you did," she agreed, "Again, I'm really sorry."
"Just go," he told her with a small smile, "I'll be okay." And with a smile and nod, Santana turned on her heels as she made her way down the hallway full of students who had witnessed their entire conversation. Santana made her way down the hallway and disappeared around the corner, glancing over his shoulder to make sure that she'd gone, Puck then turned back to his locker door and slammed his shut with anger. He pushed away from the locker and stormed down the hallway glaring at all of the students that had looked his way, he grinded his teeth together with anger as he disappeared around the corner also.
Sebastian walked down the hallway carrying his backpack over his right shoulder as he headed towards his locker. Finally reaching his locker he punched in the locker combination and pulled open the door when a piece of paper fell out of his locker and landing down on the ground. His gaze turned down to the floor where he bent down and grabbed the piece of folded paper, standing back up he opened up the piece of paper with a smile on his face knowing that it was Santana who had written the note for him, glancing his eyes over the writing which read:
'Meet me in the auditorium at lunch.'
As he folded the piece of paper back in half he still smiled before closing his locker door shut and making his way down the hallway towards the auditorium, finally reaching the door he pulled it open, he walked towards the curtains of the main auditorium and pushing them open, his gaze wandered to the stage to find Santana standing at the front in the centre, with hearing the noise of the curtains opening, her gaze turned towards the curtains and a smile appeared on her face.
"You came," she smiled.
"Yeah," he shrugged as he made his way towards the stage, "You asked me to come so I did."
"Thank you," she nodded, "But I'd like you to do something else for me."
"Sure," he shrugged again, "What do you want?"
"To just sit and enjoy the show I'm gonna perform for you," she told him.
"Oh, really?" He smiled cheekily with a raised eyebrow.
"I didn't mean like that," she replied with shock. Thinking about it for a while the look of shock disappeared from her face and flirtatious smirk appeared on her face. "Maybe later," she shrugged. With a cheeky grin still displayed across his face, Sebastian took a step backwards before reaching down to the folded up stage chairs, he pulled it down and sat down to watch her do a performance for him.
[Santana]
Right from the start
You were a thief you stole my heart
And I your willing victim
I let you see the parts of me
That weren't all that pretty
And with every touch you fixed them
Now you've been talking in your sleep
Things you never say to me
Tell me that you've had enough
Of our love, our love
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
Sebastian stood up and started walking towards the steps of the stage before making his way up onto the stage and faced her. He started to walk towards her as he began to sing the song with her.
[Sebastian]
I'm sorry I don't understand where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine
[Santana]
Oh we had everything
[Sebastian]
Your head is running wild again
My dear we still have everything
And it's all in your mind
[Santana]
Yeah but this is happening
[Sebastian]
You've been having real bad dreams
Oh oh
You used to lie so close to me
Oh oh
[Both]
There's nothing more than empty sheets
Between our love, our love, oh our love, our love
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
I never stopped
You're still written in the scars on my heart
Your not broken just bent and we can learn to love again
[Santana]
Oh tears ducts and rust
[Sebastian]
I'll fix it for us
[Santana]
We're collecting dust but our love's enough
[Sebastian]
You're holding it in
[Santana]
You're pouring a drink
[Sebastian]
No nothing is as bad as it seems
[Santana]
We'll come clean
[Both]
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
[Santana]
Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh, we can learn to love again
Ohhh
That we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
With a smile on his face, Sebastian took a step towards her, placing his hand on her cheek softly, he leant down and caressed her lips softly, she wrapped her arms around his neck and held him close to her. She ran her fingers through his hand and sighed softly into the kiss. He broke away from the kiss and stared down into her chocolate brown eyes.
"Why now?" He asked her softly.
"Because I finally realised something," she replied, "It's always been you. I know that it's took me a while to realise that but it's the truth. It's always been you. You've always been the one, the one who I was destined to be with, the one who knew everything about me, the one who listened to me, the one who has always been there for me even when I didn't want you to be there. You're the one I'm meant to be with and I love you. I love you so much, Sebastian Smythe."
"It's about time," he smiled as he leaned down to her once more before caressing her lips with his lips.
