Title: Thin Lines

Chapter Two - The Hangover

Rachel had never been so happy when the class finally ended, she literally had to peel herself off Cassandra's dance floor and quickly hurry out of that dance studio to meet the Latina. She had only stayed in school to show Santana she could do it when really, every time Cassandra told her to twirl she wanted to hurl. Just as she stepped outside she heard the honk of Santana's car and then rolled her eyes and dragged herself towards where the car was parked on the edge of the road "Berry! Do not make me get out here and get your hungov-"

"Shh!" Rachel hissed quickly running over to the vehicle, immediately regretting it though when her head started hurting again "If Cassie hears you.." she started.

"What, what will the crinkled blond do to me?" Santana yelled loudly.

Rachel rolled her eyes and then climbed into the car when Santana unlocked it. She curled into the seat and tried to drift herself to sleep. Santana stared at her for a while, she couldn't help it. This Rachel reminded her of her - I mean, was her cute innocent Brittany. Although Brittany was never as cute as this - wait, what was she saying. Sure Rachel had always been that kind of baby cute, her short height and them sweaters had made her look ridiculous but still, she looked like a innocent toddler. Santana finally snapped out of it when Rachel spoke "Are you going to drive?"

"Don't rush me, Berry" Santana said, mentally cursing herself for being caught staring. She quickly started the engine and then reversed the car out and drove off towards the apartment. Thinking once about stopping at Kurt and Blaine's, but that meant she would have to wake the sleeping diva next to her, so she shook her head and continued towards their own apartment as that was further away. Rachel had fell asleep as soon as the engine was on, so Santana drove towards their apartment in silence.

"Berry?" Rachel stirred but didn't wake "Berry?" Santana nudged her arm but Rachel hardly felt it "For gads sakes Berry, get your butt out of this car or I'll leave you here all night"

"Santana" Rachel whined forcing an eye open "I'm hungover!"

"Whose fault is that?" Santana retorted "Now get out or I will leave you here all night"

"Oh yeah?" Rachel challenged yawning.

"Yes" Santana opened her door "I'm leaving" she warned.

"Go on" Rachel said not even thinking about what she was doing.

"Fine" Santana climbed out, slammed the car door shut and locked the car behind her. Rachel's eyes widened. She was now stuck in the car, but she wasn't going to let Santana win. Shrugging she cuddled back into the seat and stuck her tongue out at Santana as she tried to once again lull herself to sleep.

Santana sat in the apartment all alone, flicking through the channels. She had left Rachel in the car when the diva was too stubborn to ask her to unlock the doors so she walked in. Two can play that game. But knowing that the diva was alone in that car outside, it still didn't settle well with her. So she made sure to keep checking on her every five minutes until the girl phoned her to come get her out.

Half an hour through she got up and looked out of the window to see the vehicle again, but now she couldn't see the scarlet "Rachel!" she panicked as she quickly hurried out of the apartment. She ran out towards the car and banged her hands on the car window "Rachel!" she yelled "Shoot" she cursed as she dug into her pockets for the keys. Why was she so panicked and worked up about this?

Maybe because the small girl was lying on the car floor in a crouched up ball which will probably give her a very bad back and neck and she'll never hear the end of how she couldn't dance properly again. Santana finally found the keys and then unlocked the door before swinging the door open "Oi Hobbit, you can't sleep like that, dwarf" she snapped.

Rachel didn't wake "For gods sakes" Santana muttered as she closed her car door and walked over to the other side. She opened the door and then bent down to whisper in Rachel's ear "Hey, uh..midget, you need to get up now" she may be annoyed with the girl but she wasn't going to shout down her ear.

"Huh?" Rachel woke up slowly.

"You fell asleep" Santana reminded her before she could ask.

"You took your time" Rachel spat "You know how long I was in here for, I only just fell asleep and I must have fell and it's all your fault!" Rachel yelled at her. Santana backed up a little "I didn't think you hated me Santana, but now I know because friends don't do that to friends"

"Friends don't ignore friends when they tell you to get out of the car either" Santana snapped back "I could have left you out here all night so be grateful I'm here now" she said.

"Well thank you for not keeping me trapped in your car all night Santana" Rachel bit sarcastically as she pulled herself up onto the seat. Releasing a painful sigh as she finally straightened up her back and cracked her neck right "Okay fine" Santana sighed "I'm sorry for leaving you here okay, I just thought you knew by now that I' the worse person to play these games with" she said seriously looking down. When she heard Rachel chuckle she looked up surprised "Are you laughing?" she demanded raising an eyebrow.

"Oh Santana" Rachel laughed "I'm the worse person to play this game with, because I saw you every time to check on me and now i know, you do care about me" she teased.

"I do not" Santana denied.

"Do too"

"Do not"

"Yes you do"

Santana gripped the door again "I will leave you in here" she threatened.

"Go on then" Rachel shrugged.

"Fine" Santana slammed the door shut once again. It was like the last half an hour was happening all over again but this time they were both smiling widely.

Five minutes later, Rachel found herself being dropped onto the bed by none other then Santana Lopez. She was asleep but Santana was very wide awake, who knew exactly what she was doing. But she didn't care. She might have hated her, but she cared about her enough to not leave her alone in a car in the middle of New York.
