Chapter one
"Okay so today we'll be starting class off with-"
" I have a number ready" Santana says, cutting him off "Is it okay if I sing it?"
"Ya, of course. Go ahead when you're ready." he says walking to sit down near the band
Santana walks to the front of the class, and goes over to the band and Brad and whispers what song she wants to sing.
She walks back up to the class, takes a deep breath and begins;
It's been said and done
Every beautiful thought's been already sung
And I guess right now here's another one
So your melody will play on and on, with the best of 'em
You are beautiful, like a dream come alive, incredible
A centerfold miracle, lyrical
You saved my life again
And I want you to know baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat
Constantly, boy, you play through my mind like a symphony
There's no way to describe what you do to me
You just do to me, what you do
And it feels like I've been rescued
I've been set free
I am hypnotized by your destiny
You are magical, lyrical, beautiful
You are
And I want you to know, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat
I, I love you like a (love song, baby) love song, baby
I, I love you like a (love song, baby) love song, baby
I, I love you (I love you, I love you) like a love song, baby
And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat (like a love song)
No one compares
You stand alone, to every record I own
Music to my heart that's what you are
A song that goes on and on
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I love you... like a love song
Once she finishes she hears a loud applause from her fellow glee club members and a smile graced her lips.
"Thank you, Thank you." she bows "I'd been wanting to sing this for a while now and I wanted to share it now"
"Why? You're cold hearted. Why would you sing such an emotional song?" Rachel spits out
"Berry, It may come as a shock to you, but I do have a heart."
Rachel gives out a laugh "You? Having a heart? You, the queen of insulting people?" Ya right. You're just putting up a show for everyone"
"Rachel I can say with 100% certainty that I am not acting right now" Santana says looking ready to go all LIma Heights on Rachel but was holding back.
"Sure you are" Rachel said while rolling her eyes
"You know what Man hands? You claim to be this nice and sweet and innocent girl, but you have always made this the "Rachel Berry show" and I'm sick of it" Santana says while raising her voice.
"Guys enough!" Kurt says looking ready to stand up to break the fight up. It looked like Santana was ready to attack Rachel in a matter of seconds.
"No, Kurt. She needs someone to put her in her place" Rachel pauses "She has done nothing but tourture us since the start of Glee club."
"That isn't a reason to go after her after she just sang an emotional song." Kurt defends her
Santana mouths a "Thank you" in Kurt's direction and he nods back at her.
"Are you kidding me, Kurt? She's a bitch."
"Ya. So what?" Santana shoots back at Rachel.
"So no one will ever even consider dating you after seeing how you ruined all of your relationships. You're deceiving, rude and an absolute bitch. You'll end up being alone for your whole life"
Santana just stands there in front of the glee club with a straight face. Is she right? Am I that horrible of a person?
"Hey!" someone yelled out
"What?" Rachel pauses " She can dish out on us but we can't on her? You guys see how horrible she is to us. , she is constantly on your case about you're teaching methods, even though we know they can be terrible at times, Mercades she-"
"She has never done anything bad to me, Rachel. We're one of the best duet partners ever. Now stop bashing on Santana, Rachel" Mercades looked over to Santana and saw that she was still frozen on the spot, still with a straight face. And because of that she started to get worried that Rachels words were getting to her.
"NO! Why the hell should I? She has been fucking terrible to me all throughout High school. She's been horrible to all of you guys too. Mercades, how can you even defend her?"
"She's part of our club rachel. We're a family here. Yes, she can be annoying and rude and judgemental at times-" Mercades puts her hand up to stop Rachel from interrupting " but she doesn't deserve to be put down like this"
'Yes! Yes she does. She's a horrible person who will probably end up being a stripper or working somewhere else where she doesn't need a shirt. She'll forever be alone, Mercades."
Everyone was shocked at what she had said and looked towards Santana expecting her to respond but instead saw her still standing there frozen on the spot.
"Rachel stop!" Quinn said standing up. "Look Rachel, Santana isn't perfect but you just crossed a line!"
"I don't care, Quinn." Rachel looks from Quinn to Santana. "Do you even feel anything anymore?"
And that's when Santana couldn't hold back any longer and a tear fell from her eye. She tried to wipe it away before anyone saw but Quinn saw, Quinn was the only one to see since everyone looked over at Rachel in shock. Quinn quickly rushed to Santana's side and wrapped an arm over her shoulder as they began to walk out of the room before anyone could see her breakdown.
When they got out of the room Quinn brought them to the nearest bathroom and turned Santana to face her and Quinn saw something that hadn't been in Santana's eyes for years. She saw pure hurt and Quinn's heart broke at that in itself. She saw the tears welling up in her friends eyes and she just pulled Santana into a hug and the dam broke. Santana wrapped her arms around Quinn and Santana just began to sob. Quinn just stayed in the bathroom with her while trying to calm her down.
Meanwhile back in the choir room everyone was just frozen in place. Once she regained composer Mercades spoke up
"Rachel what the hell? You just crossed a major line right then."
"She deserved it!" Rachel tried to defend herself
"I have to agree with Mercades, Rachel." Kurt says
"What the hell. Why?"
"Because despite all of what she's said and done to us, she's always been here for us. She has never tried to do anything to destroy this club. She has always stood up for us as well. You just treated her like shit. We don't do that to our family." Kurt said
"So you're telling me I shouldn't be upset with her right now?" Rachel pauses "She and Quinn have always been rude to all of us, you included . She can dish on us and we take it but one small comment makes her this upset-"
"It's not just a "small comment" Rachel" Quinn says when she enters the room with an arm around Santana, Santana was holding her head high but anyone could see the pain in her eyes. " You managed to hit her insecurities. Pretty much all of them at that." Quinn said with a disappointed look on her face
"Well how am I to know?" Rachel fired back
"You shouldn't need to know that saying that would make someone upset. You should know to never say those things to someone, especially if you're in a club with them that is like a family." Quinn takes a breath and shakes her head. "I can't believe you said all those things. I expected better from someone who acts like the captain of this club."
"I won't apologize for being honest. She's a slut" Quinn felt Santana tense up at that "She's always been an absolute bitch and I'm sick of it. It was time one of us spoke up"
Quinn could feel her best friend trembling so she tightened her grip on her and rubbed her arm with her other hand. She was going to come back at Rachel for what she said but decided against it. She just turned and walked up to instead.
"I get Santana can be rude and insensitive but Rachel just managed to hit all of her sore points. Can we go home?" , still in shock from this all just nodded. "Thank you. I'll probably come back soon" Quinn walks out of the room but not before shooting daggers at Rachel over her shoulder.
turns to Rachel and the rest of the Glee club after recovering from the shock of what just happened.
" -"
"Be quiet Rachel. What you just did was way wrong. Frankly I'm pissed. I do not tolerate that kind of behaviour in this club."
"But-" Rachel started but was stopped in a second
"No Rachel. You crossed a line. You're suspended from Glee club for 2 weeks. I won't tolerate that kind of bullying here. This is meant to be a safe place and you just made a confident young lady break. That's unacceptable." shakes his head and holds up his hand before Rachel could speak. "Get out Rachel."
Silently Rachel walks out of the room with her head hanging low. Once she walks out everyone turns their attention back to
"Okay what the hell just happened?"
Mercades wasn't sure who asked but she responded.
"I don't even know but I know that Rachel really owes Santana an apology."
Everyone nodded in agreement except for Artie.
"Why should Rachel have to apologize when everything she said will probably become true in 3 years." Artie said while rolling his eyes.
"Okay you guys need to shut the hell up. You're not helping the situation."
"Quinn? What are you doing back?" Kurt was the one that spoke up.
"I only live a few minutes away so I dropped Santana off and got her to calm down" Quinn paused and looked around the room and narrowed her eyes to Artie. "You don't know anything about Santana. None of you do. So anyone who even thinks one bad thought about Santtana will be slushied everyday for the foreseeable future. I don't mess around when it comes to my close friends." she pauses "So Artie, ever say something like that again and you'll be regretting it."
Everyone looked at one another and then back to Quinn and all nodded to show that they won't go after Santana again.
Quinn turns to
"Thank you for taking action . I appreciate it." Quinn said with a small smile on her face
"We're family. We take care of each other." Smiled back at Quinn. " So are you going to go back to your house or are you going to stay here?"
"Well Santana is most likely going to need me soon so I think I'm gonna head home, if that's ok?"
"Ya no problem Quinn, go ahead" says with a small smile.
Once Quinn leaves the room and exits speaks up again.
"Alright Glee club is done for today. Would everyone be able to come in for a rehearsal tomorrow morning?"
Once sees that everyone nodded their heads they all just filed out of the room.
