Sorry for the wait. See you on the other side :)
I do not own Glee or any of the characters associated with the show.
Jennifer storms into the Kappa Omega house, grabbing the first body she sees as the door slams behind her.
"Where is he?!" She demands, tightening her grip on her victim's shirt collar.
"Whoa Jen, what's going -"
"Where the hell is Liam, Nate?"
"I-I think he's upstairs." He finally replies, taking in the site of the disgruntled women.
" Jen what's wrong?"
His question goes unanswered as the brunette climbs the stairs two at a time.
Quickly reaching the second floor, she flings the last door in the deserted hall open.
"We need to talk!"
"Jen! What the hell is wrong with you?!" Liam rushes his jean up his legs, trying his best to keep his balance. "I was changing! Ever heard of knocking?"
He throws on a t-shirt, huffing as he makes it to his intruding sister.
"Ever heard of keeping your bitch on a leash?" She fires back.
"What?"
Jennifer gives her brother a pointed look before nudging his chest.
"Your so-called girlfriend, whom you promised to handle, has yet again messed things up for me."
"I've been playing my part Jennifer, so don't act like I haven't kept my word." Liam's frustration becomes evident as he paces the room.
"Last time I checked, I was the idiot professing his undying love for a girl whose emotional damage won't even allow her to see when a real man is standing in front of her. "
"Please. Spare me your pity party Li. I'm well aware of Quinn's inability to move past her sad, little childhood crush." Jennifer is tired of competing with Quinn and Liam promised he would help.
"I know Santana is worth everything and then some, but little Lucy needs to back the fuck off."
Flashback to Delta Pi Open House...
"Looks like a pretty good turnout down there. You ready to convince the masses to pledge Delta Pi?" Liam offers his sister a glass of champagne after peeking over the banister. He of all people knows how nervous she gets when addressing a big crowd.
"There's only one person I'm trying to convince. Did you happen to see her?" Jennifer's hopeful eyes pierce through Liam. He loves his baby sister and wants nothing more than to help her find happiness.
He knows that this plan of hers may not be the most thought out, but she needs him and that is reason enough to help.
"Relax little sis, I'm pretty sure I just saw Allison chauffeuring the lucky girl through the door. She's cute, I'll give you that."
"She's beautiful Liam." Jennifer blushes at the thought of the Latina.
After their first encounter in the quad, she knew that there was something special about Santana and so she made it her personal mission to find out everything she could about the girl. Including her class schedule and favorite hang outs. Stalking is such a harsh word to use, but she knows she was definitely treading that fine line.
"Too bad you're not into blondes, because the two that walked in with her are smokin' hot." Liam brings her out of her Santana induced daydream.
"Which one will I have the pleasure of distracting this evening?"
"Well based on what I've seen so far, I'm pretty sure that both Brittany and Quinn have a thing for Santana." Jennifer responds, secretly watching from the second floor. "However, since Tara hasn't been able to shut up about Brittany and her amazing body after she saw her at that club, I'm thinking you can utilize your prince charming skills to keep Quinn occupied."
"And which one would that be?"
"That one." Jennifer points to Quinn. "She's going to be a problem."
As the siblings continue to look at the group of girls, Jennifer's previous statement is solidified when Quinn places a lingering kiss to Santana's cheek. Jen turns away from the scene, forcing the rest of her champagne down in one gulp.
"I see what you mean, but don't worry sis, it's nothing I can't handle." Liam tries his best to reassure her by placing a calming hand on her shoulder.
"Hey Li…remember, not a word about this to anyone. I don't want mom and dad thinking that their daughter is disgracing the family name."
She sets her empty glass down before turning to face her brother.
"I just want them to finally be ok with me and my decisions. This girl captivated me from the moment we locked eyes."
"Don't worry Jenny, I've got your back. We've never let anything get in our way before and we won't start now. By the end of the night I'll have Quinn swooning so hard, she won't even know what to do with herself."
He wraps his arms around his younger sister, knowing that it would convey the love he has for her. Liam would stop at nothing to help her in any way he could and he was prepared to do so in any situation.
"Good luck with your speech Sis."
Present Day...
"God, do you have to be completely heartless? It's bad enough that I'm leading Quinn on so that you can chase after some mob wives looking reject, with a bad attitude; Santana acts like every girl should fall to her knees while in her presence and all of this just so you can have some eye candy to impress mom and dad with."
"Look Liam, I know you think I'm being dumb and that this won't fix my mommy-daddy issues, but I really want to impress them. She's gorgeous, she's smart, her parents are rich, and I can honestly see us maybe falling in love someday. But I can't prove that to Santana, when all Quinn does is bat her pretty little eyes and pout about not being Santana's first choice all the damn time."
The siblings let out heavy sighs as they sit on the bed.
They almost never argue, but the gravity of the situation weighs heavy on the both of them.
They know that without each other they would have never made it this far in life and it has never gotten to the point where they let someone get in the way of their relationship.
"Jen, Santana would be stupid not to love you. She's probably already in love with you but just doesn't know how to say it."
"Really, because I took it upon myself to pay her a visit around three in the morning and guess what?"
"I don't know, what?" Liam is not in the mood for guessing games. He just wants this argument to be over so they can move on with their lives.
"She cheated on me Liam! She cheated on me with your girlfriend."
Jennifer stands up and begins to pace again as her brother stares off into space.
"What? Did you catch them making out or something?" He asks, trying to sound as nonchalant as possible.
"You wish. No, instead she opens the door without a shirt, pants open and hanging off her hips."
"Ok and maybe she was just changing. You kind of have a bad habit of barging in on half naked people."
Jennifer is not amused by her brother's joke. She is seething at the thought of Santana cheating on her with Quinn and proceeds to elaborate about her early morning discovery.
"Or maybe she was too busy showing Quinn's vagina the two-finger peace sign, since I caught a big whiff of it when I kissed her hand. Huh? Maybe that's how I know they cheated on us Liam!"
"Damn, that means Q's cheating on me too then. Hmm, I thought it wouldn't bother me, but it kinda stings a little."
He actually thought he was making some progress with the blonde. It's not like he's in love with her or anything, but most woman practically swoon over the thought of dating him.
"Come on Jen, don't look so shocked, I mean you knew that there was something between them and you still thought this would be a good idea. It's not like you don't have options."
This is not how Jen envisioned this conversation going.
"I'm sorry, ok?" Liam apologizes, as he rests his arm around her shoulder.
"I think I started to kinda like Quinn too. This isn't that easy for me, but she is the first girl that made me think about settling down again after my last failed relationship."
Jenny looks up at her brother and it hits her. How could she have been so selfish.
"I can't believe what a shitty sister I've been. I haven't even stopped once to consider you Liam, I'm so sorry. Maybe we should just forget the whole thing. No one is worth me hurting my own brother."
"Listen, why don't you make up some excuse to miss Thanksgiving with our folks and I will invite Quinn over instead? You said Santana's parents would be in town, right?"
"Yea, they're flying in for the holiday. Why?"
"Well, this way you can take your time winning over her parents and I can show Quinn that I have way more to offer than good looks."
"Hmm, I love the way your mind works."
They begin to formulate their new plan, never hearing the floorboard creek right outside of Liam's bedroom door.
A few rooms away…
"Hey honey, are you on your way over here? I'm lonely and Tara is already out with Britt."
"Allison, please tell me you're not involved in this crazy scheme. "
"What are you talking about, Nate?"
"I'll be there in 10 minutes."
