Santana's POV
A week and a song latter here we are...Nationals. Is good to be back is even better be back knowing that we will win this time. How do I know it...um...let's just say that my Latin sixth sense is never wrong. I still didn't had the chance to talk to Rachel back she can't avoid me forever. Especially when we have a duet to go through, so yeah, I will have my chance.
But what is killing me right now, is to have to sit here and watch Finn try and fails terribly get the dance steps right. We're been here in this damn theater for two hours in a whole and is becoming kinda boring. I can barely can feel my butt right now... so I have to make mind to be heard and give everyone a break before we go all insane.
"Mr. Shue we can't take it anymore." - I say getting up and is a relief - "We've been in this for hours nonstop and instead of getting better we're getting worse. I guess I speak for everyone when I say that we need at least 5 minutes to breath." - they all nod
"You right." - he says and Duh! Of course I'm right. - "Take five everyone, then we'll go back for another hour and then we rest for tomorrow, okay?"
"Thank you." - I say walking to Rachel, because there's no way I will let this chance pass me by. - "Rachel can I talk with you for a second?"
"Sure." - she says as Mercedes and Tina, that were with her, goes ways. - "What do you wanna talk about?" - Like she doesn't know. I can see it all over her face!
"I like you." - I say straight, because I'm like that
"Oh.."
"Oh? I just told you I like you, like I have feelings for you, and all you say is "oh"? " - I'm kinda hurt now.
"Santana...you took me by surprise..."
"That's bullshit! And you know it."
"What...?"
"C'omo Rachel! Stop playing dumb, okay? You know as well as I do that you have feelings for me too, so stop the games." - I'm getting angry and that's not a good thing.
"What do you want me to say Santana, huh? That I like you?" - she's yelling and everyone is looking at us.
"If that's the truth, then yeah."
"Then there you go. I like you." - at that I can't help myself. I grab her by the back of her neck and pull her lips to mine and Holy Jesus! I can't even think right now.
"What are you doing to me..." - I say breathless as we pull apart after what I can ensure you was the best kiss of my life.
"I could ask the same thing." - she says and then she's walking out the door leaving everyone stunned including myself.
Fuck!
Rachel's POV
Oh My God! Oh God! Oh sweet good God!
We just kissed! Holy Shit! We kissed! It was soo good, like my own piece of heaven! Her lips are so warm and sweet and she's gentle, nothing like Finn or Noah or even Jesse.
But even now, now that she told me that what I saw in her eye wasn't my imagination...I still a little scared. I'm not scared of being with her, but I'm scared of what could happen if we started something now that we're about to go in different ways. What if I jump only to fall right in my face?
Follow my heart, that is telling me "go", or my head that is telling me "no"? Hard, huh?
Anyone's POV
Well, after that little show Mr. Schue decided to give them the rest of the day out. So you could say that it went all well, except that Rachel was again avoiding Santana and Santana was avoiding all of the club members.
The night came and went away. The morning was a bit akward but they survived and now here they are, only a few minutes away from the so wanted prize. All the other clubs had already mad their shows and they were the last ones. Mr. Schue had alrady made his speach and now they were just waiting for the stage get ready.
Santana had her eyes closed so she didn't saw when Rachel came over her.
"Santana..." - she called lowly and Santana opened her eyes but didn't looked at her - "Um...can I talk to you?"
"Are you sure you wanna talk?" - Santana asks still feeling hurt by the way that the Diva left her without say anything
"San...please." - Rachel begs
"Fine. But be quick. That crazy presenter will calls us at any moment."
"I just wanted to apologize for the way I acted yesterday. It was rude of me. You were putting your heart out for me and I turned away."
"Turned away is the exact world for what you did." - Santana says coldly
"Is just hard for me Santana..." - Rachel tries
"And you think is easy for me Rachel? Because is not! You know how hard I've worked to build my wall for you to come and with a few moments bring them all down...so no Rachel is not easy for me too." - she takes I deep breath before continue - "I like you, Rachel. I really do. God, can't you see that I want to be with you? - " - she's looking right in Rachel's eyes now - "I know you like me too...so what's stopping you?"
"I'm scared!" - Rachel almost yells - "I'm scared that in the moment I let down my walls you will wake up and leave me o fall." - she sighs - "I've been hurt before, Santana. I honestly don't think I would survive another fall from cloud nine."
Santana was about to answer her when the lights went out and that was her cue to go
"Just listen to this song, okay? If after that you still have any kind of doubt we can talk latter. Just please listen, because I wrote it for you." - With that she was on her way to the center of the stage.
The crowd was quiet. The first notes began and soon after them her voice were echoing the theater filling everyone with a wave of emotions.
There's so much life I've left to live
And this fire is burning still
When I watch you look at me
I think I could find the will
To stand for every dream
And forsake this solid ground
And give up this fear within
Of what would happen if they ever knew
I'm in love with you
Santana casted a look at the side to see Rachel with tears in her eyes
Cause I'd surrender everything
To feel the chance to live again
I reach to you
I know you can fell it too
We'd make it through
A thousand dreams I still believe
I'd make you give them all to me
I'd hold you in my arms and never let go
I surrender
Rachel have never felt so in love before. There was Santana pouring her heart out...showing her that she really didn't need to feel afraid...that if she'd fall she would be there to catch her.
I know I can't survive
Another night away from you
You're the reason I go on
And now I need to live the truth
Right now, there's no better time
From this fear I will break free
And I'll live again with love
And know they can't take away from me
And they will see...
Cause I'd surrender everything
To feel the chance to live again
I reach to you
I know you can feel it too
We'd make it through
A thousand dreams I still believe
I'd make you give them all to me
I'd hold you in my arms and never let go
I surrender
Santana took a deep breath trying to calm her racing heart to be able to go through the rest of the song…though it was hard…because it only took a look at Rachel to know that she had no more doubts and all Santana wanted to do was to get to her and kiss her with all that she is…but there's a competition to win so she will do it later.
Every nights getting longer
And this fire getting stronger, baby
I'll swallow my pride and I'll be alive
Can't you hear my call?
I surrender all
Cause I'd surrender everything
To feel the chance to live again
I reach to you
I know you can feel it too
We'd make it through
A thousand dreams I still believe
I'd make you give them all to me
I'd hold you in my arms and never let go
I surrender
Right here, right now
I'd give my life to live again
I'll break free, take me
My everything, I surrender all to you
As she finished the song the crowd went crazy...all on their feet. She made a quick bow and got out of the stage as the other members of the club started the second part of the performance...to her unlucky she wasn't able to go talk to Rachel...well it could wait a little longer. The beat changed and they began to sing and dance
Girls: It's going down
I'm yelling timber
You better move, you better dance
Let's make a night you won't remember
I'll be the one you won't forget
Puck: I see this life like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
Sam: And my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and you shall find
Kurt: Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
Artie: I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
Finn: Everything that kills me makes feel alive
Blaine: Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
All boys: Take that money
Watch it burn
Sing in the river
The lessons are learnt (3x)
Girls: I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
Mercedes: Well, that's no fair
All: Well, that's no fair
The group number came to an end and was Rachel's solo now. The song begin to play and she came sing a few notes after...and if Santana didn't was sure they would be together before the song was telling her all that she needed to know.
My words are wrapped in barbewire
My actions speak for what I can't say
'Cause I fall one step forward to push you away
Push you away
I wish that I could listen to all the advice that I give away
But it's hard to see things clearly
Through all of the pain
All of the pain
I'm caught in the rain, caught in the rain
And my heart's too drunk to drive
I should stay away from you, tonight
But in this black-out state of mind
Baby, all I want is you, tonight
When my head tells me no
My heart tells me go, so I'm hitting a road, 'cause I
I know my heart's too drunk to drive
But I'm on my way to you
Yeah, I'm on my way to you (you)
To you, tonight
I'm on my way (to you, you)
(To you)
I'm on my way to you
Yeah, there's a million voices
Screaming that this love's a dead-end road
But the only voice that I hear
Is telling me go, telling me go
The sun is rising sober
While passion fades and I'm on my own
My helpless heart's hangover
I'm all out of hope, all out of hope
Where do we go, where do we go?
'Cause my heart's too drunk to drive
I should stay away from you, tonight
But in this black-out state of mind
Baby, all I want is you, tonight
When my head tells me no
My heart tells me go, so I'm hitting a road, 'cause I
I know my heart's too drunk to drive
But I'm on my way to you
Yeah, I'm on my way to you (you)
To you, tonight
I'm on my way (to you, you)
(To you)
I'm on my way to you
I no wise words can stop me
I'm pass the point of no return
No matter how it's hurts me
I'm running to you, running to you
And my heart's too drunk to drive
I should stay away from you, tonight
But in this black-out state of mind
Baby, all I want is you, tonight
When my head tells me no
My heart tells me go, so I'm hitting a road, 'cause I
I know my heart's too drunk to drive
But I'm on my way to you
Yeah, I'm on my way to you (you)
To you, tonight
I'm on my way (to you, you)
(To you)
I'm on my way to you
If the crowd went crazy before now they were insane...it took about two minutes for them go completely silent so they go so their last song.
San: All you need is love
Came Santana's voice from the back of the theater and Rachel smiled before answer her
Rach: A girl has got to eat
There was only a spotlight in them as they sang to each other forgetting everything else
San: All you need is love
Rach: Or she'll end up on the streets
San: All you need is love
Rach: Love is just a game….
The beat changed and Santana stated to walk to Rachel with a smile in her face as sings
San: I was made for loving you baby, you were made for loving me
Rach: The only way of loving me baby, is to pay a lovely fee
There were a few laughs in the crowd and it only seemed to made they more determined to put out a good show
San: Just one night, just one night
Rach: There's no way, cause you can't pay
San: In the name of love, one night in the name of love
Rach: You crazy fool, I won't give in to you
San: Don't leave me this way, I can't survive, without your sweet love, oh baby, don't leave me this way
Santana was now half way to the stage. She couldn't that her eyes of Rachel and everyone with eyes could see it but she didn't give a damn.
Rach: You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs
San: I look around me and I see, it isn't so, oh no
Rach: Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs
San: Well what's wrong with that, I'd like to know, cause here I go again!
Love lifts us up where we belong, where the eagles fly, one mountain high
Rach: Love makes us act like we are fools, throw our lives away for one happy day
Rachel turned her back to Santana that now was on the other side of the stage, hiding her smile as the Latina kept singing
San: We could be heroes, just for one day
Rach: You, you will be mean
San: No I won't!
Rach: And I, I-I'll drink all the time
To say that every word that was being sung was the most pure truth wasn't enough...every line was a promise that they were making at each other right there in front of everyone.
San: We should be lovers
Rach: We can't do that
San: We should be lovers, and that's a fact
Rach: Though nothing, will keep us together
San: We could steal time...
Both: Just for one day. We could be heroes, forever and ever. We could be heroes, forever and ever. We could be heroes...
The rest of the club joined them on the stage doing a few backups as the two of them stood in the center of the stage looking right into each other's eyes.
San: Just because I will always love you
Rach: I can't help loving
San: you
The lights went out and as the crowd cheered they got out of the stage. After that everything was a blur for Santana and Rachel...all they knew were each other's lips and that was all that matter for them.
