SANTANA's POV
"Sanny, sing us a song." Britt excitedly said. "Please?"
"Save us from the misery, I swear one more song from that man, I'm gonna unplug that microphone. I don't care if he's Charlie's friend." Tina said gesturing to the guest who's been singing (if you can call it like that) two songs already.
"Bro, I wanna hang myself!" Puck complained to Finn while covering his ears.
"Urg, kill me now!" Sugar said. Everyone looked at her with a you're-fucking-serious-with-that look. "What?!" Then everyone burst into laughter making some people look at our direction.
"Tana, if you don't get up on that stage I'm gonna sing a Barbara song every one hour!" Rachel whispered to me.
"Fine." I said smiling. I waited for the song to be nearly finished then I stood up and walk up on the stage. I stopped on his side then whispered to his ear while blocking the microphone with my hand so that no one could hear.
"We had enough of your fucking annoying voice, if you don't disappear on this stage a.s.a.p., I'm gonna shove this mic stand in your throat so no one can hear your fucking voice." The guy's eyes went wild then hurriedly went off the stage. I smirked then grab the microphone then put it on the piano's mic stand.
I sit down on the chair then breathe in and out. I looked at the piano keys, it's been a year since I last played a piano. I gently touch the keys then smile. When I looked up, everyone is staring at me expectantly. I leaned close to the microphone and start talking; I fixed my eyes on Quinn.
"I was never good with words and I hope this song is more than enough to say the things I can't." then I start to play the intro of Belle Ferraro's Set Me On Fire. The lights started to dim and put a spot light on me but I could still see Quinn clearly since they're on the table near the stage.
Take me back to your place,
Show me how to dance
Let's go watch the sunset
With me in your hands
Fly me on a jetplane,
Take me to the moon,
Wherever you go,
I'll follow
I saw Quinn close her eyes and put her hand to cover her mouth. I'm going to pour everything I feel on this song. I know she gets it.
Never really meant to start a spark
But this love
This love is like arrows through our hearts
I'm dreaming
Everyone's attention is fixed on me. They stopped eating and just stare at me. I could see Rachel wiping her tears. That's when I realized the girls are all sniffing even Kurt and Blaine.
Set me on fire,
With endless words
To show my worth
You take me to a place I've never known
Set me on fire,
With silent kisses like the sunset
Darkness is our playground we call home,
When she opened her eyes I could see the glitter in it. I've never sang a song that is so intense. I want to cry but I want to finish the song, because this is for her.
Take me in your mustang,
Let's go cruise the streets,
We'll stay young forever,
Cos love knows my beat
Running free in the daylight,
Feeling safe in the night time,
With your eyes beside me,
This love I won't fight
Never really meant to start a spark
But this love
This love is like arrows through our hearts
I'm dreaming
QUINN's POV
I felt Frannie's hand squeezes mine. I looked at her asking for help. If it wasn't for her hand, I won't be able to stop myself from running towards Santana and kiss her there. To tell her how much I love her.
Set me on fire,
With endless words
To show my worth
You take me to a place I've never known
Set me on fire,
With silent kisses,
Like the sunset
Darkness is our playground we call home
My heart beats fast as our eyes met. The sadness I see in there drills through my bones. I want to run away but her voice keeps me plastered on my chair. How painful it may be for me, this song is for me so I'll endure it.
Storms they may come
But I'm here to stay
Cause this heart is my anchor
No I won't drift away
Fearlessly in love,
With all of your ways
Shoot an arrow through my heart
With your love and embrace
I saw her expression changed, it became dark. That's when I realized my tears are already falling and someone is wiping it with a handkerchief. I looked at the owner of the hand and see Charlie's face. I was shocked but became worried when I can't figure out his expression. It's totally blank.
Set me on fire,
With endless words
To show my worth
You take me to a place I've never known
Set me on fire,
With silent kisses,
Like the sunset
Darkness is our playground we call home
I excused myself after the song leaving my confused mother, curious fiance and worried sister at the table and went straight to the bathroom. Thankful no one was inside. I lean on the wall and put my hands on my face. I let myself break down and cry.
I didn't even care when the door creeks open. I just cried there. I felt someone's hand and when I looked up its Frannie.
"Calm down Quinn, it's not good for the baby." But instead of stopping I cried more.
SANTANA's POV
I want to talk to Quinn and tell her that I take back what I told her on the drive way. While I'm singing the song, I realized that I need her badly. I saw Frannie went out of the room and followed her. She went inside the restroom; I stood outside for a moment because I heard someone is crying.
I breath in and out then when I'm about to push the door, I heard Frannie said something about a baby. I gasp. Quinn's pregnant! I suddenly felt week and my hands are trembling.
There are a lot of questions in my mind right now. Is that the reason they're getting married? Is that why she can't leave him now? Did she really love me? Nothing makes sense right now.
I stepped back then walk away fast, as if every second I stayed there I'm gonna die because I can't breath.
I step inside the taxi and ordered the driver to drop me to the nearest club. I just cried at the back of the car and when he told me that we're near I just ignored him. I composed myself and retouched my makeup.
When I stepped out of the cab I went straight inside, sat on the bar stool and order shots. I started drinking until the hurting numbs.
RACHEL's POV
"She's not picking up." I said worriedly. The dinner was over and still there's no Santana.
"Stop acting like a worried girlfriend Rach." Kurt said then I gave him a sharp look. He raised his hands in defense.
"I'm acting like a worried best friend which you should also be doing right now." I snapped at him.
"Calm down Rach, just try to call her again." Blaine said.
My hands are trembling. I knew this would happen. I should've stayed at the mansion with her.
"This is my fault." I said while trying hard not to cry. "Pick up San, dammit!"
"Uh oh, my Jewish princess is mad." Puck whispered to Finn.
"Not cool man." He replied. "Rach, she'll be fine."
"Why don't we try the bars, she's upset I'm sure she'll drink all the beer she could see." all of us looked at Britt like she is an angel.
"Mercedes can you please ask Quinn if we could borrow at least two cars to find Santana?" she nodded then followed by Tina.
"Puck and Sam you're going with me. Kurt, Blaine and Finn you get the other car. Then the others you can go back at the Mansion and wait for her there, okay?" I ordered everyone.
No one dared to protest because they know I'm really worried about Santana.
QUINN's POV
I am a little calm after Frannie and I talked at the restroom. Now Charlie is talking to his business partner which I don't have any idea what's the conversation about. I got curious when I saw Mercedes and Tina approaching us. I thought that they went back at the mansion already. I excused myself then meet them half way.
"What's wrong?" waiting for Mercedes and Tina to catch their breath.
"Do you have two cars avail that we could use to drive around town?" Tina asked. I got more confused.
"You could use Frannie's and mine I guess. Why?"
They looked at each other. Not sure if they want to share the information with me.
"I won't give you the keys unless you tell me what's wrong." I told them starting to be annoyed by their silence.
"Umm, Santana's not here and we can't contact her." I was shock but then got worried. "Rach and the guys will drive around and check the bars."
"Wait here." Then I walk away from them and get to Charlie's side.
I told him that my friends prepared a surprise for me and I need to go ahead. He just nod and kissed me goodbye. I saw Frannie on the other side of the room talking to my mom.
"Fran."
"Hey, what's wrong?" she asked when she saw that I'm worried.
"I need your keys. Santana's awol need to find her. Everyone's worried, cover for me and mom. I told Charlie there's a surprise party. Just ride with mom okay?" I whispered to her and then she nods while getting her keys. I kissed them both on the cheeks then walks back to my friends.
SANTANA's POV
"Hey buttface, give me 'nother one!" I yelled on the bartender. I had few glasses before the alcohol took effect. Now I don't feel anything. Awesome!
I feel thirsty after dancing with some chick, which I forgot to ask her name. Damn! I let some guys flirt with me but when they start to make a move, I just push them and walk away.
"That's not a wise move." I heard someone said behind me. I checked her out and she looks hot. Because of the loud music I didn't understand what she just said.
"What did you say blondie?" she just laughs then moved her face closer to my ear.
"I said don't mess with the one making your drinks." Then she winked at me. I just smirk at her. "On the rocks please." Then she glanced at me. "And make that two." The bartender smile back at her.
"Not fair buttface! I'm gonna kick yo-"
"Please stop." Blondie cut me off. "If you don't want to be kicked out here."
I just closed my mouth and narrow my eyes, annoyed with this mysterious woman.
"My momma said don't talk to strangers." I said with my HIBC face to intimidate her.
"I'm Elle. You are?" handing me the other glass she ordered. Fail!
"Bored. Now shoo sexy ass!" I motioned for her to go which she didn't mind.
"You're drunk. Let's get you home."
"Seriously blondie? Do you think I'm that easy?" I laugh at her.
She moved closer and now our face are just inches apart. "I didn't say my place, I said you're home." She brushes her lips on my cheek.
I'll be lying if I didn't feel something when she did that. I looked at her again. Not bad. She looks like that blond actress, Kate Hudson but a much sweeter and younger version.
"Are you done checking me out?" she said smirking. I blushed then turn back my attention to the drink she bought. "Wanna dance?" Before I could answer no, she grabs my arm as we walk into the dance floor.
Please don't hate me..:( Peace!
