Chapter Two: Santana

Finn woke up early, not that he slept that well anyway. His brain would not shut up. He thought about everything that has happened over the last two years. He has come to the conclusion that even though he was an ass, and treated the girls in his life unfairly, he was not alone in the mess that is his life.

But today was about one girl. Santana. They have gone to school together since middle school. He guesses they are sort of friends. He liked to blame her for the whole V-card fiasco. But in truth, he knew what he was doing. He wanted to hurt Rachel, it doesn't matter in the end he failed to tell her the truth. He wanted her to feel what he was feeling when he saw her with Jesse. Even now that name makes him want to vomit.

He knows Rachel would have gotten over the whole thing. She is pissed he kept it from her. He should have known better. Quinn lies about the baby, should have knocked sense into him about lying to the person you claim to love. Anyway, he has to ask Santana why. Why she did it? Why she told Rachel? What did she hope to gain?

He had texted her last night asking if they could met today at the Lima Bean. Of course she had some sexual emenuedo (That's the word right, fuck it who cares) response. He ignored her on that but she finally agreed to meet him. So here he sits waiting for her to show. He can't believe he's doing this. He just hopes no one (Uhm, Rachel) gets the wrong idea, if she were to find out. Quinn he could deal with.

Santana finally decides to grace him with her presence. "What's up Pillsbury dough boy" she greets. Finn rolls his eyes because can she ever not be mean. "Have you finally come to your senses deciding to drop Barbie and tap this again?"

"Is that all you ever think about Santana" Finn inquires. "Oh, please, you are a teenage boy. I know that is all you think about. Well maybe not seeing as you have had two of the most uptight, closed legged girls at McKinley as your girlfriends."

"Look, I'm not here to talk about my sex life or lack…It's really not your business. I need to know why"

"Why what" she plays dumb.

"Why did you want to sleep with me in the first place?" Finn asks pointedly.

"I already told you. Sue would promote me to head Cheerio…" Finn cut her off "That's bull shit, because we didn't date, we just you know…had sex"

Now its Santana's turn to roll her eyes. "I don't know what to tell you that's the reason." She stood strong.

"I don't believe you. Brit already told me you were already head Cheerio. I know you didn't want to date me that was obvious. So why?" Finn would not let up.

"Why does it matter now Hudson? You are rid of the hobbit and you are with Preggers now. So what does it matter?"

"It matters to me. I need to fix my shit Santana. I don't know if I'm coming or going anymore. I can't…" He didn't want to get into his relationships with Quinn and Rachel with her he needed to know her answers.

"IF you are not going to answer that one then why would you purposefully hurt Rachel that way? She didn't deserve to find out that way. It's my fault I own that, but you didn't need to out me in the choir room."

"She deserved to be knocked down a peg or two. Why should she have everything Qui…I deserved." Santana stumbled hoping Finn didn't catch on. But his head snapped up when he heard her stumble.

"Why should she have everything Quinn deserved? Are you fucking kidding me?" Finn yelled drawing attention to them.

"Shh!" Santana admonished. "That is not what I meant'

"I call bull shit again Santana. Tell me the truth. I deserve to know the fucking truth. You ruined my life and I never did anything but be there for you. I know you are in love with Brittany and I haven't outed you. I've kept her secret and in turn your secret. You owe me" Finn is full on red at this point and Santana is shocked that he knows.

"What makes you think I'm in love with Brittany? I've slept with pretty much every guy in the school. How does that make me a lesbian?"

"I didn't say you were a lesbian, you did. Brittany was so upset that you were being mean to her because of Artie. She told me that she loves you, but as a friend. She also said if she were into girls she would be with you. She wants you to be happy, but also she knows you won't because you won't admit to yourself that you like girls."

Santana was stunned. "Why would Brits talk to you?"

"Brit and I have been friends since kindergarten. She tells me a lot of stuff. Like Lady Kisses and lady loving" Finn whispers so no one can hear. He doesn't want to out Santana, because that's not cool but he will use this piece of info to his advantage.

Santana doesn't know what to do. If she tells Finn the truth, her secret will get out. Santana knows that SHE won't hesitate to tell everyone. But Santana really did like Finn, she didn't want to hurt him like she did. SHE knows all of Santana's secrets. Maybe she should just admit to everyone who she is. Kurt did and he's accepted. She knows her parents will love her no matter what. They told her when Quinn got pregnant there was nothing including being gay, that would make them not love and support her. So why is she so scared. Her friends, can she call them that, in Glee would support her unconditionally.

Once she tells Finn there is no going back though. Brits will be so disappointed in her. She can't believe she let it get this far. She knows Rachel is a bossy, know it all diva, but Rachel actually pushes the club to be better. She didn't deserve what Santana did to her and Finn's relationship. She made up her mind.

"Okay Finn, I'll tell you, but not here. Let's go to your house" Santana said.

Finn looked at her nervously. "I'm not going to try to get you to sleep with me Hudson. Been there, didn't like that"

"Feeling was mutual. I kept picturing Rac…Someone else" Finn said. Santana smirked because she knows he was going to say Rachel. It was obvious the night in the motel. She even remembers him muttering Rachel's name when he came. No big deal. She wasn't into it because she wanted to be. Truthfully she wanted to be anywhere else. But SHE had her over a barrel.

"Look you are not going to like what I have to say and I know you. YOU are an angry chair kicker and I don't think your mom would appreciate having to bail you out of jail for destruction of private property." She points around the Lima Bean.

Finn smiles despite himself because he does kind of kicks chairs when he's mad. The one that goes with his desk had to be replaced after Rachel dropped her bomb. "Fine, but we stay in the kitchen"

Santana nods in agreement and they leave the Lima Bean separately only to meet up at his house all too soon for Santana's taste. She can do this. Everyone in Glee club already knows or suspects she's into girls and they accept her. Rachel really didn't deserve to be punked the way she was and Finn definitely didn't deserve his relationship with Rachel to be sabotaged from the beginning. She's done being scared of HER. Finn deserves the truth.

They are in his kitchen sitting while his mom is in the other room pretending to watch TV but listening in, just in case. Finn blows his top.

Santana sighs then begins. "I never wanted to do this willingly. I thought it was shady and underhanded but I thought I had no choice."

"We all have choices Santana" Finn tells her.

"Well Finn when you don't want the whole world to find out you're in love with your best friend who is a girl, you'd be surprised at how little choice I had."

Finn didn't say anything he just nodded his head indicating for her to continue. Santana once again let out a breath then restarted her tale.

"SHE came to me about a week after Sectionals last year. SHE did not like that you and Rachel were dating. You seemed miserable, SHE said, and SHE wanted you away from the hobbit" Finn winced at the name but Santana continued. "At first it was just supposed to be that date you, Brits and I went on but then you started actively going after Man… Santana saw Finn getting ready to say something so she stopped herself….Berry. Anyway, SHE said SHE wouldn't have that. Berry already had gotten everything and you were not going to be added to that pile. When Jesse came into the picture SHE thought that was it, you and Rachel were done, but everyone saw how you still were into her. That's when SHE went to Rachel and encouraged her to go and stay with Jesse.

When Sue came up with the whole Madonna thing, SHE saw an opportunity to put a nail in the coffin that was Finchel. SHE blackmailed me into convincing you to give up your V card to me. I thought the hobbit, sorry, broke up with Jerk face St. Douchebag like everyone else, but SHE told me Rachel was still seeing him but lying to everyone. I guess you confronted Rachel about it and she admitted it, then you came and took me up on the offer. Then that Monday you came to school asking me not to say anything to anyone and I didn't. I wasn't proud of what we did. It was awful, and that was not what your first time should be like. Anyway. We found out you told Rachel you didn't go through with it, but she did it with Jesse. SHE was so excited because SHE knew you'd be done with Rachel. But you weren't. Jesse's Girl and all that. SHE got distracted with HER own stuff and you and Rachel got together."

Carol listened in with an uneasy feeling in her stomach. She knew what was coming and she was holding out hope that she was wrong. But she knew she wasn't', she got up and moved closer to the kitchen.

Finn listened and was getting sick. He wanted to throw up because he only knew of two people manipulative enough to do this and one of them was sitting in front of him and the other, he didn't want to think about.

Santana looked ashamed. "Junior year started and Finchel was all happy and everything was right in the world until SHE joined Cheerios again." With that Carole entered the kitchen to stand behind Finn. Her hand on his shoulder in support of what they both knew was coming. "Yeah SHE was dating but that didn't matter. You rejected HER telling her you loved Rachel and wouldn't date HER. So before Mrs. H2 was getting hitched SHE came back to me and again threatened to tell everyone I was a lesbian. SHE said to approach and threaten to expose our night together. SHE thought that you'd tell Rachel and she'd break up with you, but you didn't tell her. I was trying to hint to you, that you needed to tell her yourself but you didn't. SHE was fuming when you guys didn't break up. SHE told me to tell Rachel in front of the entire club because that would hurt her the most. So when Rachel was yelling at me about being up her butt since the wedding SHE was in my ear, telling me to do it now. So I blurted it out. I'm so sorry." Santana's face showed remorse and Finn thought he even say her eyes teary.

"You didn't deserve any of it Finn and I know I can never make up for my part and I don't blame you if you hate me forever. But I hope one day you'll be able to forgive me. It wasn't right to use you and Rachel to protect myself. I should start walking the walk of keeping it real and admit to what I am. I am a lesbian and I'm in love with Brittany." Now the tears fell. Carole moved to hug Santana as did Finn.

"It's okay Santana. You just be you, because that is good enough for me" Finn tells her. "Who was it Santana? Who blackmailed you?" He knew but he had to hear it from her mouth.

Santana broke the hug Carole had on her and wiped away the tears. Taking a deep breath she spoke the name all three of them already knew "Quinn" There it was out there, and she couldn't take it back. She looked up and saw Finn's face turn to stone. His mom grabbing his shoulders and facing him.

"Finn, I know you are upset. But do not explode with anger. You have to be calm to talk to her. You need to figure out what you are going to say." Carole hoped that would be enough to keep her son from going Hulk on the kitchen.

Finn stood, walked to the back door and slid it open walking out into the cold of the backyard. Then he lost it. Screaming, swearing kicking lawn furniture. Good thing the plastic chairs were the only ones not covered for the winter. He paced the backyard for what seemed like forever before coming back into the house.

His face was red, eyes puffy and nose sniffling. The look in his eyes was that of determination. "Thank you for telling me the truth Santana. Maybe I can forgive you, but today is not that day." With that Santana shook her head in agreement and said a soft goodbye to Carole and left.

"Mom, she's been controlling my life since the day I met her. How could she do this to me on top of the baby drama? I'm such an idiot. I feel like I am the dumbest dude on the planet. How did I not see this?"

"Baby, you are not dumb or an idiot. She did this because she is selfish. She was going to let you believe you had a child out there for the rest of your life. When she lived here she was awful to you. I know you tried to be good to her. I saw her berate you, call you names. I know you don't know this but I heard her tell you to quit school and get a job. I am glad you stood up to that demand. She knew you loved Rachel and she did what she did to keep the two of you apart. She never let on. If Rachel didn't trick her than only God knows what our lives would look like. You can make it right Finn. Get it Right." Carole smiled the one that matched her sons.

"Thank you mom. I Love you. I'm going to talk to Quinn tomorrow. I'm going to write stuff down that I want to say. Will you look at it?"

"Of course, I will. I love you Finn." Carole hugs her 6'3" baby boy. "Don't you ever forget how special you and talented you are."

Finn hugged his mom then turned to go to his room. How could he have fallen for her shit again? Fireworks! He got to his room and looked at his phone 22 missed calls and 15 text messages from Quinn. He read one message, of course it's her bitching about something he fucking did or didn't do. Fuck that.

Finn thought about what had happened over the last two years. He should have just broken up with her. His mom tried to tell him that he didn't need to be with Quinn to be there for what he thought was his kid. But he didn't listen, he tried to be a man and take responsibility. He listened to her when she said people would think he was an asshole for leaving his pregnant girlfriend. Quinn played him and took the one thing he wanted more than anything.

His thoughts returned to the 5'2" dynamo that stole his heart on the auditorium floor. He then thought about fireworks and what Puck said to him. "You know what's left after the fireworks fade. Stars hanging in the sky shinning brighter than any of the same year after year fireworks." Boy was his friend right.
