Santana and Rachel chose a song before washing up and going back downstairs for dinner with the rest of the club. At the restaurant, Rachel saw across from Santana and away from Finn. Every now and then, Santana would brush her foot against Rachel's leg, causing the other girl to grin. After they returned from the restaurant Rachel and Santana were the firsts to perform. They smiled and went to the stage and got ready to sing.
(Santana):
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
(Rachel):
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Where every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
(Both):
Don't wanna close my eyes, I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby and I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you the sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you baby and I don't want to miss a thing
(Santana):
Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
(Both):
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
(Rachel):
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
I just wanna stay with you in this moment forever, forever and ever
(Both):
I don't wanna close my eyes, I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby and I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you the sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you baby and I don't want to miss a thing
(Santana):
I don't wanna miss one smile, I don't wanna miss one kiss
I just wanna be with you, right here with you, just like this
(Rachel):
I just want to hold you close, feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment for all the rest of time
(Santana):
Don't wanna close my eyes, don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby and I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you the sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you baby and I don't want to miss a thing
(Rachel):
I don't wanna close my eyes, I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby and I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you the sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you baby and I don't want to miss a thing
(Both):
I don't wanna close my eyes, I don't wanna fall asleep
Yeah, I don't wanna miss a thing
The Glee Club clapped awkwardly after the pair finished singing. Breaking eye contact, Santana went to her seat first. She received weird looks from Brittany and Quinn, but ignored them. After everyone finished singing, they were dismissed. Santana and Rachel both hurried to the elevators so none of the other members had the opportunity to question them about their duet. Only after they made it to their room did they take the opportunity to calm down. "You were amazing, you know?" Santana said to Rachel as the girl sat on one of the beds. Rachel looked up and smiled. "No, seriously. You did incredible on that song." she continued.
"So did you, Santana. You were so into the song." Rachel said. Santana grinned.
"What can I say? I was inspired." Santana said. She sat down next to Rachel, who was smiling. "Tell you what. You shower first and I'll watch TV until you get out. Then I'll shower and we'll go to sleep. Cool?" she suggested. Rachel nodded in agreement and went to take a shower. Santana expected to hear her belt out a song, but she heard nothing. She assumed it was because Rachel realized she was in a hotel where other people could hear her. She turned on the TV and waited for Rachel to be finished with her shower. When Rachel came out, Santana smiled at her before gathering her things and putting them in the bathroom. Just as she was about to close the door, Rachel slipped in and kissed her. "What was that for?" Santana asked. Rachel smiled.
"For saying that I inspired you during the song." Rachel whispered. Santana grinned and kissed her again. Rachel walked out of the bathroom. Santana showered and began to blow dry her hair. Just as she was finishing, she heard Rachel's voice. She turned off the dryer, thinking Rachel was trying to talk to her. She heard painful yells.
"Rachel." she whispered. She dropped the dryer and ran into the other room. She found Rachel on the bed, sleeping. She had flashbacks to the day before. "Rachel, wake up. It's okay. You're safe. Baby, you're okay." she said. Rachel continued to yell. Santana did the only thing she could think of to quiet her. She quickly kissed the other girl. Rachel's eyes flew open and she quickly pushed Santana off of her.
"I hate you! Stay away from me!" Rachel said. Santana looked up in shock.
"Rae, what's going on?" she asked.
"Santana?" Rachel asked. Santana raised an eyebrow. "I'm so sorry. I was…"
"I get Rae. It's okay. But I have to ask… what are your nightmares about?" Santana asked.
"When I was younger, one of my dads friends used to beat me. When my dads found out they were furious. It's actually why we moved to Lima. But ever since then, I've gotten nightmares." Rachel explained.
"Oh my god. Baby I… I didn't know. I'm sorry." Santana said. Rachel grabbed her hand.
"San, its okay. Really, I'm okay. But, uh, why did you kiss me to wake me up?" Rachel asked.
"It was the only way I could think of to shut you up. I didn't want people to hear you in the hallway and think you were being murdered or something." Santana explained. The other girl slightly laughed.
"I'm sorry for not telling you." Rachel said.
"Don't be. I promise to wake you up every single time you have a nightmare." Santana said. Rachel smiled and hugged her.
"Thank you." Rachel said. She reached over and grabbed Santana's hand. Just as she was about to lean in, there was a knock. Rachel groaned.
"What?" Santana growled.
"Rachel, we need to talk!" Finn said. Santana rolled her eyes. Rachel looked at her.
"San, what do I do?" Rachel said. Santana thought for a moment. Just as she was about to speak, Finn spoke again.
"Rachel? Oh my god… did Santana hurt you? Rach, hang tight. I'll go get Mr. Schue! I'll be right back." Finn said. Santana stood up.
"You don't do anything. I, however, go talk to Finn." she said. She walked over to the door and opened it. "Yo! Hudson! Rachel's fine!" Santana said. Finn looked at her.
"Then why didn't she respond when I spoke?" Finn asked. Santana rolled her eyes.
"Because she doesn't want to talk to you." Santana said. Finn glared at her. "What?" she asked.
"Rachel loves me." Finn said.
"No, she doesn't." Santana said.
"What do you know about how Rachel feels? You hate her." Finn said.
'No, I don't.' Santana thought. What she said was, "Maybe, but I hate you ten times more and I don't want to have to listen to her go on and on about how annoying and pointless your advances are." Finn rolled his eyes and pushed past her. "Finn! Get out!" she said.
"Rachel, come on. Why are you ignoring me?" Finn asked. Rachel stared up at him before looking at Santana with a helpless, vulnerable expression. Santana got angry.
"Hudson, get out. You are extremely out of line." Santana said.
"Stay out of this!" he screamed. Santana began to walk out of the room, but Rachel's voice stopped her.
"Santana, please don't leave me!" Rachel said, her voice breaking. Santana quickly turned around and made her way to the bed and the other girl. "Please stay." Rachel whispered.
"I have to go get help." Santana replied quietly. Rachel shook her head.
"Don't leave me alone with him, San. Please." Rachel begged. Santana stared at her for a moment before nodding and grabbing her phone. Rachel watched as she dialed numbers and put the phone to her ear. Finn paced angrily in the room.
"Q! Get Schue and get to me and Berry's room now!… Why? Because Frankenteen going crazy, that's why! Just hurry!" she yelled into the phone.
"I said stay out of this, Lopez!" Finn said. Soon, they heard a banging on their door.
"Santana, Rachel, open up!" they heard their teacher yell. Santana sprinted to the door and beat Finn. She quickly opened the door and Will ran in. "Finn! You need to calm down now!"
"No! Rachel needs to admit that she has feelings for me!" Finn yelled.
"Finn, I moved on! I'm with someone else!" Rachel yelled. Santana looked over at her in surprise. "I… I'm sorry. But it's over." Rachel said quietly. Finn shook his head.
"Who is he?" Finn asked. Rachel looked down and shook her head. "Tell me, I'll beat him up."
"No. You won't." Rachel said, tears falling. Santana couldn't take seeing her girlfriend like this. She knew she had to say something. Just as she opened her mouth, Will interjected.
"It doesn't matter who it is. We can resolve this when we get back to Lima, okay? In the meantime, let's return to our assigned rooms." he said. Finn and Quinn left the room. As soon as the door shut, Santana made her way to Rachel.
"Are you okay?" Santana asked. Rachel nodded.
"Sorry I almost blew our secret." Rachel mumbled.
"Sorry, I didn't speak up when you did." Santana replied. Rachel shook her head. "If he tries again, I'm saying something. I don't care who's around. I'm saying something. He's not going to get away with doing this. It's obviously one sided and obviously bothering you and it's not okay with me." Santana said. Rachel shook her head.
"After Nationals." Rachel said.
"You're safety and privacy is more important. I won't say anything unless he does something else. But if he does, I'm letting him and everyone else know." Santana said.
