Falling For You Chapter 4, a glee fanfic

Santana exited the elevator and found her team waiting for her. She made her way over to them and sat down, saying that Rachel and Finn were on their way. As they waited, Santana thought back to how just the day before she had thought she had hated the smaller girl with a passion, but in just one night, all that had changed. Not only did she like Rachel Berry as a person, but she liked her as more than just a friend. Santana was amazed that she was able to feel that way about her. She started to smile as she thought of Rachel, but stopped when she remembered where she was. They saw the elevator doors open and they all moved in front of them. The first thing they saw was Rachel and Finn kissing in the elevator. Santana took the sight in before glaring at Finn. She looked at Rachel and concentrated on not letting the hurt she was feeling show in her eyes. She rolled her eyes at the sight and turned around to walk to their rehearsal room.

Rachel watched as Santana walked away. She wanted nothing more than to be able to go after her, but she couldn't. Instead, she turned to Finn. "Finn, I'm sorry, but I don't love you anymore. We're over." Finn stared at her in shock.

"But Rachel…" he trailed off.

"Guys, how about we get off the elevator so that other people can use it." Will suggested, pulling Finn and Rachel out of the elevator and into the rehearsal room.

"Rachel, how can you say that we're over?" Finn asked. Rachel started to answer, but was interrupted again.

"Can you two talk about this when we get back to Lima? Some of us would like to focus on winning Nationals, not the Finchel show." Santana said bitterly, glaring at the two. 'I am officially not allowed to be happy. Its just not meant to happen.' she thought. Rachel looked at her.

"Excellent idea, Santana. Let's warm up with solos from everyone. Who would like to go first?" Will asked. Santana raised her hand. Will nodded. "Sure, Santana. Go ahead. Everyone be quiet." he said. Santana went to the front of the room and whispered a song to the band. She grabbed a microphone, went to the middle of the mock-stage and waited for her cue as the music started playing. She opened her mouth to start singing.

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby, do you recognize me?
Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me
Happy Christmas

I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying 'I love you', I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Special
Yea yea

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you, and your soul of ice
I thought you were someone to rely on
Me, I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A friend to discover with a fire in her heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

I"ll give it to someone special

Rachel stared at Santana as she was singing. She was singing Last Christmas, which everyone else thought was odd, as it was May. But Rachel found nothing odd about it,and it seemed as if she was singing to her. She had to find a way to explain to Santana what had happened between her and Finn in the elevator. But she couldn't do anything about it now. She had to wait until lunch. As Santana ended her song, she looked at Rachel for a moment before looking away and sitting down. Rachel felt bad, but she had to wait. When Mr. Schue dismissed them for lunch, Rachel tried to talk to Santana, but her attempts failed.

"Santana, please talk to me." Rachel said. Santana rolled her eyes.

"I'm not really interested in what you have to say, so there's no point in talking." Santana said before walking away. Santana avoided Rachel throughout lunch and sat with Quinn and Brittany. Rachel sat with Kurt, Tina and Mercedes. After lunch, it was Rachel's turn to perform.

I'm not alone
Even when we're apart I feel you
In the air
(yeah)
I'm not afraid
I know what you're thinkin'
I can hear you everywhere

Some people say it'll never happen
And we're just wasting time
But good things come when you least expect them
So I don't really mind

We'll be together come whatever
Not just staring at the stars
Just remember
That no one else could tell us who we are
We'll be together so don't ever
Stop listening to your heart
Cuz I can't turn mine up
Oohhh (yeah, yeah) ohhh

I can't pretend
This is a rehearsal for the real thing
Because it's not
And I know we're young
I can't help feeling what I'm feeling
And I won't stop

Some things are meant to be and will be there
When the time is right
Even though I know that
I swear I wish you were tonight

Ooooh yeah
I like what's happening to me
Ooooh yeah
Nothing else to say
Oh, Ooooh yeah
Somebody finally got to me
Carry me away

I'm not alone
Even when we're apart I feel you

As Rachel finished singing, she looked anywhere but at Santana. She returned to her seat and listened to everyone else perform. She looked down at her hands through most of rehearsal. She felt her phone buzz. She eagerly looked at it, hoping that it was a message from Santana. She frowned when she looked at it.

New Message

Finn

I love you. And I know you love me too. We should at least TALK about this.

She sighed deeply and saw both Finn and Santana watching her. Finn smiled and Santana frowned in confusion. She turned to see Finn smiling at Rachel and rolled her eyes, scoffing. She shook her head and focused on Brittany, who was singing. After Brittany's song, Mr. Schue dismissed them to go wash up for dinner. He announced that they'd be singing duets with their roommates when they returned from dinner. Santana hurried ahead of Rachel with Brittany and Quinn. Rachel sighed and made her way to her room. She walked in and saw Santana getting her shower stuff ready. "Hi." she said. Santana looked up and saw her girlfriend standing in the entryway that was in their room. She nodded her head in response. "Can we talk?" Rachel asked. Santana sighed.

"You said enough when you had Finn's tongue down your throat." Santana said. Now it was Rachel's turn to sigh.

"If you'd just let me explain…" Rachel trailed off. Santana crossed her arms over her chest.

"I'm waiting." she said.

"Finn kissed me. Not the other way around. I promise." Rachel said. Santana looked down.

"Rachel, I believe you. But maybe we were being stupid when we started this. Who are we kidding? We're Santana Lopez and Rachel Berry. We aren't meant to be together. We are meant to hate each other. The sooner we learn that, the better it is for both of our hearts." Santana said.

"I can't accept that. I don't care if I'm going to get hurt. I want you not Finn." Rachel said. Santana looked up.

"I don't know, Rachel." Santana said.

"Santana, please. Why would I want Finn when I have you? That doesn't even make any sense. Its like trading in a Ferrari to get a buspass." Rachel said. Santana raised an eyebrow. "One of my dads is really into cars." Rachel explained. Santana nodded in understanding.

"I'm assuming I'm the Ferrari in this case?" Santana asked. Rachel nodded.

"Of course you are." she said. Santana contemplated this. "Santana, you said you believe me. Why do you still want to put an end to all of this?" she asked. Santana looked at Rachel.

"I don't… I guess I just got scared when I saw you and Finn together." Santana admitted to Rachel. Rachel walked over to Santana and hugged her. "I'm sorry for being rude to you, Rachel." Santana said, hugging her back.

"Its okay, Santana." Rachel said. She kissed Santana's forehead. "Are we okay?" she asked. Santana nodded.

"Yea. We're good. Come on. We need to shower and get ready. We also have to think of a good song for our duet." Santana said. She smiled at Rachel and kissed her.
