Sorry for the wait! Here is the next chapter… I know it's short, I have been having major writer's block! Sorry!
Chapter 4
Quinn furrowed her eyebrows as she watched Rachel laughing with Puck at the piano. Santana and Brittany were sitting in the back row talking quietly as they waited for the rest of Glee club to join them. The blonde wasn't used to being early for Glee but she followed her alpha here. She wasn't happy to see Puck sitting there waiting for them. Her harsh glare went unnoticed by Puck, but Rachel had noticed and instantly felt her heart clench painfully. Puck noticed the change in Rachel's attitude and tried to comfort her but she pulled away and decided to leave the room. Santana stood up and started to follow her. "I'll go." She told Puck as she passed him.
"Rachel!" She said as she jogged up behind her. "Where are you going?"
"I just can't watch her get so upset about seeing me near Puck. I mean he's like my brother and she's… she's…"
"I know." Santana hugged her close and scowled at a few people who were left in the school that were staring at them curiously. They took that as their cue to make a run for it. "But I talked to Brittany and I don't think we have the situation right." She projected her previous conversation with Brittany to Rachel and felt her tense in her arms. "I don't think she's jealous of you; I think she's jealous of Puck." Santana added aloud. "But she's hiding her feelings because she's scared. You know how she was raised…" Rachel nodded and pulled back slightly to look into almost black eyes.
"Thank you Santana." She mumbled and kissed her cheek. "You are quickly becoming my best friend… I never thought I would actually be saying that to you." Santana smirked and rolled her eyes.
"Yeah well, just don't let everyone know I'm a softie." She said and Rachel chuckled.
"Your secret is safe with me."
"Good, shall we go back to Glee now? You know it's the best part of the day and you don't want to miss it."
Rachel felt lighter as they headed back inside the choir room. She smiled brightly at Quinn, who was caught off guard and seemed to forget she was talking to Brittany. Brittany just smiled and looked at her own mate, who jogged quickly up to the chair next to her to sit. Rachel wanted to talk to Quinn but people were starting to fill the choir room for their Glee meeting. Quinn still had her mind closed off so she couldn't talk that way so she sighed and sat down to wait for the meeting to end.
