Hey guys sorry I haven't updated recently I have been really busy with work thanks for all your patience.

I do not own 'you gotta be' by Des'ree

Everyone turned to see Santana stood at the entrance of the classroom glaring daggers at Puck and Mercedes. She slowly sauntered up to them Puck stood in front of Mercedes to protect her.

"What the hell is going on you cant be serious you want this whale instead of a hot Latino who begs for it" Mercedes quickly stood and ran out the door in tears puck made to go after her before Kurt, Rachael and Tina said to leave it to them.

Puck turned to Santana and gave her an evil glare before sitting down next to Mike and Finn. Meanwhile Kurt, Rachael and Tina had found Mercedes in the girl's bathroom drying her eyes.

Kurt placed a hand on her shoulder "are you ok?" he asked she nodded "yeah it just hurt when she called me a whale but I will be ok she's just shouting her mouth of I know a way to show her who I am, will you guys help me".

All three nodded eagerly and leaned in close as she told them her plan. Later that night Puck sat in his car outside Mercedes house he couldn't knock on the door her mum was home so he waited catching glimpses of her every now and then.

A little while later Puck jumped as Mercedes knocked on his window he quickly rolled the window "hey Puck" Mercedes chuckled.

Puck quickly got out the car he looked back at the house and saw her mom watching the from the living room window. Mercedes followed his gaze and laughed "she doesn't trust boys with her baby girl".

Puck chuckled as he leaned back on his car and faced her "I came to see if you were ok you know after what Santana said" Mercedes smiled and brought her hand up to his face.

"I'm fine Puck it hurt for a minute then I realized that Santana has nothing on me and I have you so it's her loss" he smiled as he leaned into her hand and kissed her palm.

"Yeah you do I never thought that I would want to be with a girl like you … I mean a girl that is …. Erm" she stopped his rambling with a laugh.

"Its ok Puck I knew what you meant" he sighed with relief his mouth usually got him into trouble luckily she knew him well enough.

They talked for awhile longer until Mercedes mum called her in he kissed her goodbye on the cheek and she smiled as she watched him drive away.

The next day Mercedes came in a bit later than everyone else "Mercedes your late is everything ok" asked Mr. Schu.

She nodded and smiled "yeah Mr. Schu sorry I'm late but I have something to say to Santana if that's ok" Mr. Schu reluctantly nodded when he saw the determine look on her face.

"This is for you Santana" she said as the band started to play. Mercedes stood directly in front of Santana who defiantly stared back.

Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be counted
Don't be ashamed to cry

Herald what your mother said
Readin' the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view
My oh my heh, hey

You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day

As Mercedes sang to Santana she could see her shuffling in her seat uncomfortable.

Don't ask no questions, it goes on without you
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
The world keeps on spinning
You can't stop it, if you try to
This time it's danger staring you in the face
Oh oh oh Remember

Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
My oh my heh, hey, hey

You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day

The music finished and everyone cheered "here's the thing Santana I know I don't look like you and that's ok I am who I am and I love who I am I don't need to be a fashion model and I don't want to be".

She came right up to Santana who was trying unsuccessfully to not cry "I know this attitude you have is just a front inside you want to be like me cause I'm not fake I love who I am and I don't care if anyone else does and I think your not being true to yourself so you try to put everyone down. I just want you to know I am here for you if you ever need someone to talk to or just chill with I am there".

Santana was now crying as she slowly stood up and wrapped her arms around Mercedes and squeezed tight. Mercedes hugged her back whilst Santana whispered in her ear "thank you".

I know it's a little shorter than normal but I didn't want to over do it let me know what you think.
