Two chapters in one night, i'm on a roll! Anyways i figured that i've been going a bit slow with the whole faberry thing so i'm giving in to your requests. No they aren't together, far from it but we're heading there. Besides you think Snix just lets someone steal someone that's hers? yeah, that's what i figured!
R&R!
Santana's POV
"You have no idea do you?"
I looked at her with angry eyes as I motioned for her to move this to the living room.
"You haven't got a clue about what just happened?"
I watched as she shook her head, tears threatening to spill once more. My heart ached for a second. She became my friend as well when Q-Ball and Rachel grew closer. She was actually fun to be around and she reminded me so much of Little Lucy that she just grew on me. Before I knew it Britt called us Faberritana and it all started form there. It took us some time trying to find a rhythm though and apologies were certainly in order but when summer was over we all realized we'd become pretty good friends. It was like we were all meant to be like this, it just felt so right. So when she did what she did to my beautiful Q- I couldn't believe it. I refused to believe it but the sight of a broken Quinn crying her heart out in my arms was proof enough. Quinn finally stepped up her game, finally made a move just like Britts and I and even Kurt told her to do and this was what happened? I wasn't going to let the hobbit waltz back in our lives like that and ruin everything we both worked so hard for.
"Well how unbelievable as it is, Quinn is a vampire."
She stared me right in the eyes.
"That much I've gathered Santana."
I scoffed.
"Yeah well, you're taking it too well I think."
"Well what do you want me to do? Run out of this house screaming?"
"Yeah. That'd be normal."
"Well I don't see you running either!"
"Why should I? I'm the one who's been helping her through this for the last couple of months! I am the one she confides in, I am the one who helps her go through this all. I see her train with The Gang, I watch her learn and grow every single day. And I am so fucking proud of her Berry! You've got no idea how far she's come with this."
Rachel gulped slightly when I pointed an angry finger at her.
"But yet you just come in here, doing whatever you think you're doing and I watch her crumble just like that."
I snap my fingers right in front of her face and watch her recoil into the cushions of the couch.
"Quinn's vamp might push her feelings for you back to the surface but I guarantee you Rachel, Quinn herself won't allow anything to happen again. We've switched places now. I'm the one who can calm her down, who can hold her and wipe her tears away. I'm the one she lets in and tells things to. I'm the one she makes the postcards with now to send to little Beth. She bakes me my favorite cookies, she makes me her fresh summer lemonade. It's me she draws on her notepad and it's my arms she needs after a long day of hard work. Not you, not yours. Yet you walk in here acting like you own the place Well You don't. This is mine and Quinn's house. This is our home and you can't come in here and think you can fuck it all up again. I won't let you. Now leave."
She shook her head, desperately swinging it from side to side. It was pathetic to watch her grovel.
"I didn't know this would happen Santana! You don't understand!"
I laugh at her, hard. I didn't understand. She had a point.
"Yeah no, you are right. I don't understand. I don't understand how you could let her walk out of your life like that and never look back. I don't understand how you could marry Finnept. I don't understand why after four years of not talking to her you just barge in here the second you hear she's sick! I don't understand why you had to come back either. They erased your memory. You should be sitting at home right now watching a rerun of Funny Girl or something."
Rachel sighed and rubbed her forehead before locking eyes with me again. Pain and frustration swimming in her chocolate orbs. I just stared her down. This was no joking matter. I was dead serious. She needed to understand that she needed to fuck off to where ever she came from.
"I had to come back. I don't know why but there was something nagging inside me, something was pushing me towards something and it wasn't until Britt called that I realized I had to see Quinn. It wasn't even a choice, I had to see Quinn."
This caught my attention. Maybe there had been a slight problem with the erasing? Could it be he had wrongly compelled her instead of just making her forget?
"So you were like, compelled?"
"I'm sorry – I was what?"
"Nevermind, I'll discuss it with Nate when they get back. Maybe he'll know."
"Who is Nate?"
"Another vampire."
"Oh."
"Yeah."
"Are there a lot of them?"
"A small bunch yeah, they're helping us with this."
Silence fell and I kept on glaring at her.
"Would you stop glaring?"
I scoffed and flipped the bird.
"I don't see why I should Treasure Trail."
Her eyes rolled angrily and she clenched her fists again.
"I didn't know this would happen ok Lopez?!"
She yelled and stood to her feet as she approached me. I stood up as well and shoved her backwards.
"You just shouldn't have come in the first place! You should've just stayed away from us! She was doing so much better until you came along! We were getting things back together again! Building a home, a family! We finally found a place to rest our hearts in peace!"
She attempted to shove me back but I avoided it and grabbed her wrists.
"Like I said! I didn't know! And besides since when do you and Quinn become Misses and Misses Family all of a sudden?"
She broke free from my grasp and threw another murderous glance my way.
"Since both of you destroyed us!"
I stood there panting angrily as she deflated. Her eyes wide with incredibility.
"You might not have known this but Quinn never wanted anything more than a family. She wanted a warm home, couple of kids, a dog, the whole nine freaking yards."
I saw her stand there, with a shocked look upon her face.
"It's not because she never told you that she didn't dream of it."
Again nothing came out of the midget.
"And after Britt and I got together I understood why anyone would want that."
Her eyes became sad again and I watched her leg twitch as she refrained herself from moving closer.
"But you two fucked - us - up. Badly."
Shame passed her pretty features as her eyes dropped to the ground.
"I was scared."
I scoffed.
"You think she wasn't?"
A tear rolled down her cheek.
"Doesn't matter now though does it, Man Hands?"
She flinched at the insult.
"Because you both get to watch from the sidelines as me and Q-Fab built ourselves up from the ground again."
Rachel tried to hug herself but I wouldn't allow it, she didn't deserve the self-pity party.
"Oh don't go and feel sorry for yourself. You let her go remember? And now she's with me."
Rachel looked back at me with fire in her eyes.
"Maybe so. Maybe she's with you now but you're right Santana. She's only with you because I fucked up. And so did Britt. But we're sorry but I am here now. I won't leave this time. And I won't let her leave either. I know I've got a lot to fix but I'm going to try anyways."
"You'll fail Berry."
She stared right back with a determined look in her eyes. I wanted to believe her but her past actions made it impossible for me to do so. The familiarity me and Quinn had finally established meant to much to me to just let her waltz in here and steal it away from me.
"No. I won't."
And I didn't know what to feel all of a sudden. I knew she and Quinn were meant to be together but I'll be damned if I'll just let her steal my girl form me like that. I smiled evilly, besides there was no way Quinn could just forgive Rachel like that and then there still was the whole 'married to Finncompetent to worry about. If she was serious about this then she was up for a real challenge.
"You'll have you work cut out for you then. I'm already in a much more advantaged position with being her girlfriend and all."
The jealousy in her eyes was amusing me to no ends. Hmm, maybe Berry did turn gay for Fabray after all. This could've been a lot of fun in High School perhaps but now it was a dead serious thing. She might break Quinn's heart again and I didn't trust her. I was pretty sure Nate wouldn't trust her either. Nevermind Quinn. I smiled sweetly and clacked my tongue.
"I won't hurt her this time."
I looked at her incredulously.
"I know you don't believe me and you have no reason to, which is why I'm going to prove myself to you. All of you."
I chuckled humorlessly.
"And how are you planning on doing that Stubbles?"
She straightened up and nodded with a strong determination.
"I'm divorcing Finn when he gets home in two months."
I eyed her suspiciously.
"The papers have been drawn up for a while now. His mission has just been prolonged every time he was supposed to come home and sign them. We've been over for a while now."
Shit now that might give her an upper hand in this situation.
"So? You're divorcing the Jolly Green Giant. You shouldn't have married him in the first place Berry."
She rolls her eyes, annoyed.
"Yeah I know Lopez. And that's what I'm telling him when he gets here."
I narrowed my eyes at her, trying to see if she was lying.
"I'm not lying Santana. I'm serious about this."
I eyed her skeptically.
"I didn't want to approach Quinn before I had that settled and was ready to start a new life but I guess circumstances led to this."
I turned my back to her. This was all happening so fast. Q and I had finally gotten our lives back together. This was all coming at us so fast. I couldn't lose Q thoigh, not yet. And i knew Q-Fab still needed me more than she needed Rachel right now. But somewhere in the future that might change. And i knew i wanted to be happy for Quinn, since her soulmate wanted to fight for her but i couldn't help but be selfish too. I wasn't ready for this.
"I'm not trying to ruin your or her happiness Santana, but we are meant to be together and I'm stupid for letting it take so long before I realized this but I know now. And I'm going to fight for it."
I turned around and faced her, eyes blazing with competition. If she wanted my approval, she'd have to fight for it. No one was just going to sweep in and steal my delicious blonde away from me. Not again.
"Let the best woman win Berry."
So whatcha thinking? I know it's a sudden turn in events but i think it's time Rachel got her head ou of her ass don't cha think? So how do i go on from here? Any ideas?
