Chapter 23
Quinn's POV
Flashback to earlier that day...
I can't believe that Santana is officially dating Charlie. I mean CHARLIE! Of all the people in the world, she really picked my twin, who's a complete and utter asshole and womanizer. I only found out about them because I heard them fucking in the janitor's closet, but so did most of the school. I've been in love with Santana for a few years now, but every time I muster up enough nerve to tell her, I always end up chickening out. Charlie doesn't even really love Santana; she just wants to one up me like she tries to do with everything. I remember when I finally realized that I was in love with Santana and decided to confide in my best friend at the time, my twin Charlie.
(Flashback to when Santana was over Quinn's house talking to her and Quinn suddenly realized her feelings)
Quinn is waiting for Santana in their front porch she texted her earlier that she better be waiting for her outside since she has a lot of stuff. Quinn scoffed not wanting to wait for Santana, but she knows Santana will bitch about it for hours so she decided to wait outside inside. 'This better be good' she huffed. After 5 minutes of waiting looking at nothing but passing cars, she saw Marias car. She jumped up and excitedly ran to the car. Santana opened the door and proceed to open the backseat to get her stuff, before Quinn could even greet Maria, Santana started to push paper bags into Quinn's arms harshly. Quinn was stunned and haven't recovered from the first bag when Santana pushed another one into her arms.
"Bye mami!" Santana yelled and closed the door quickly pulling Quinn inside the house, holding nothing but her phone.
"Really? This is a lot?" Quinn asked
"Yeah, it's heavy" Santana playfully rolled her eyes "Plus it's for you" she smirked
"What?!" Quinn asked shocked that Santana is giving her something
"Ughh. You remember every summer q we go to Mexico?" Quinn nods "This is our first-time spending summer there for the whole time" Santana sighed she really didn't want to stay in Mexico for the whole summer. She going to miss so much like Cheerios camp, and of course Bacon Day which she used to celebrate with Fabrays. She may not like bacon that much but she loves all the food Judy makes during that special day.
"So?" Quinn's eyebrow furrowed in confusion
"I can't make it back to celebrate Bacon Day with you" Santana said. Quinn slowly realizes it and gave Santana a sad smile. "Yeah, So I'm making bacon cupcakes today.
"Really?! OMG! I could kiss you right now" Quinn jumps in happiness when she heard that Santana is going to make bacon cupcakes for her.
Santana laughs at Quinn and nods as she starts opening the paper bags Quinn dropped on the counter
"But you're going to help me make it" Santana added
"Gladly! What do you need me for?" Quinn asks excitedly
"Well let's start measuring everything. I've got the recipe from my mami" Santana said as she pulled a paper from her bra. They started to arrange everything they need for baking. Santana assigned Quinn to measure everything perfectly since she knows Quinn works precisely. They started cooking the bacon first, Santana knew how she wants it, Quinn's heart leaped when Santana offered some of the cooked bacon into her mouth, telling her that she had bought extra because she knows Quinn would definitely want some while baking. At first Quinn didn't know what was it, she shrugged and thought it was the love for bacon and not because of Santana gently pushing bacon into her mouth and wiping the bacon grease on the side of her lips.
Santana instructed that they should make the frosting first so it can be chilled. After making the frosting, Santana looks for the recipe she got from her Mami. She was so busy looking for it she didn't notice Quinn besides her holding the flour. She bumped into her which made Quinn spill the bag on her.
"Quinn!" she managed to croak out while spitting some of the flour from her mouth
"OMG, I didn't mean to do that. Here let me help you" Quinn hurriedly open the faucet and wets her hand and wipe the flour off Santana's face. She slowly took Santana's face in her hands and looked at her. Her eyes are still closed, her hands found Quinn's waists.
That's when Quinn really looked into her best friend's face. She's beautiful, really beautiful. Her perfectly shaped eyebrow, her thick lashes, her cute little dimple showing on her left cheek, her cute button nose, her plump limps Quinn's heart beats faster the longer she looks at Santana. She absentmindedly caresses her flour-stained cheeks. Quinn was already hypnotized, Santana's eyes were closed, but what more if she looked directly into brown eyes. She was pulled out of trance when she heard Santana's voice.
"Quinn stops! The water makes it stickier" Quinn was still caught up in trance she didn't hear what Santana said. Santana thought Quinn was playing with her so she grabbed bag of flour and spilled it in Quinn's head.
"Santana!" Quinn screamed, she slowly opened her eyes and saw Santana smirking.
"You did not!" She smirked and grabbed an egg and broke it in Santana's head
"QUINN!" Santana yelled; she was shocked her mouth still wide open feeling the egg yolk roll down from her hair to her face. She grabbed the batter and started throwing it to Quinn, while Quinn throws whatever her hands land on to Santana. They ended up hugging each other while laughing their hearts out. Quinn looks down at Santana, when she felt it again. It's her smile that made her heart beat like that. Not the bacon, its Santana.
She wanted to kiss her right there and then but when Santana looked up at her. She blinks and suddenly sneezes cutely
"Shit Quinn I think I got some flour up on my nose" Quinn bit her lips Santana looks so beautiful and cute at the same time even if she is covered in flour egg and other baking ingredients. 'Well, that makes her more delicious' Quinn thought to herself, but she shrugs not wanting to think about her best friend like that.
"Yeah, well we should finish baking so we could clean ourselves and not get sick" Quinn suggests and starts to look at the empty bowl where the batter was supposed to be mixed.
"You know that was perfectly measured" Quinn said as they both laughed and started to make another batch. When the cupcakes are placed on the oven Quinn told Santana that she should take a shower because she had been sneezing repeatedly and she'll be fine cleaning the mess they've made. Santana was hesitant at first but she kept on sneezing, Quinn almost pushes her out of the kitchen to shower. After a few minutes of cleaning Quinn decided that she'll clean the mess after she take a shower too.
She was already drying her hair when she heard her mom called her and Charlie. She was so happy and giddy she forgot about the mess. Her mom definitely saw it already. She sighed wishing that Santana wouldn't hear her mom scold her.
"Lucy Quinn! Charlie Raegan! You better be down in a minute!" Quinn rushed downstairs to see Santana already standing near the kitchen. She looks at her apologetically when Charlie came downstairs.
"What is it mom?" Charlie said in a sweetly voice. Judy rolls her eyes and pointed to her kitchen where the mess is still evident. Quinn gulps she knows they're not allowed to make a mess in their mom's kitchen or dad's office.
"Who did this?" She asked with an exasperated tone Judy just got home from a spa day feeling fresh and relaxed when she saw her kitchen, her first baby in a messy state. She is not really in a mood to scold the twins and Santana, scolding then doesn't really work anymore specially to her youngest daughter, Charlie who is the main source of her headaches. Judy sighed when no one answered her question. "I really don't want to ask again"
"Charlie"
"It was Charlie"
"Wait what?"
Judy rolls her eyes. She knows when her children are lying, and she's really not in a mood so she told all of them to clean the entire kitchen squeaky clean. Which earned grunts and complaints from the 3 teenagers. She told them she's napping for an hour and when she wakes up her kitchen better be clean. When Judy left Charlie was still dumbfounded that she was betrayed by her twin and best friend.
"What the fuck was that?"
"Here's the deal Charlie. You shut your mouth and help us clean, and I will give you one of my special bacon cupcakes. Deal?" Santana said in her Lima Heights Adjacent tone
"Bacon cupcake?! OMG! How many did you make?" Charlie asked squealing in delight.
"6 why?
"I want 2" Charlie said in a tone challenging Santana
"No"
Charlie realized she won't win to Santana; she realizes there's nothing wrong with begging right? Especially if it's for bacon cupcake. "Please" she begs while holding on Santana's arms pleading for another cupcake. Santana rolls her eyes at Charlie but she already expected her begging for more.
"Fine"
"Yay" Charlie jumps and hugged Santana lifting her off the ground and spinning her around.
The three of them clean the kitchen for about a hour and ate the cupcakes together.
"Thanks for always having my back Tana" Quinn said as she finished munching of her bacon cupcakes. She looked up at Santana, and felt her heart jump again.
"Always Quinn, always" Quinn's sure she's a goner when Santana whispered in her ear and kissed her cheek.
I ended up telling Charlie what I felt that day, at first, we don't know what was it but we realized it must be a crush. Little did I know that telling Charlie my secret would make her think this was some sort of competition and Santana was a prize to be won? Before I told her about my feelings, Charlie only viewed Santana as our best friend, now don't get me wrong Charlie loves Santana, but she's not IN love with her. But after I told Charlie about my feelings, she started hitting on Santana all the time, just so she could later smirk at me and see my annoyance
Anyway, today hasn't been so great, I was walking past the janitor's closet on my way to Glee Club, like most days, when suddenly I heard moaning and groaning sounds coming from the door. I wasn't going to pay it any attention because the janitor's closet is kind of a hot spot for students to get it on, but all of a sudden, I heard something that shook me to my core. I heard someone shouting "Yes, Charlie", over and over again. But this wasn't just any "someone", I immediately recognized the moaning girl's voice, it was Santana, my Santana, the girl of my dreams, and she was FUCKING CHARLIE!
I wanted to bust into the closet and kick Charlie's ass, to pound her until her face was unrecognizable, but I couldn't, the only thing I could do was stand there as tears started streaming down my cheeks. I continued going in the direction of Glee Club, debating on if I should attend Glee Club or Cheerios practice today, or if I should just head straight home and cry myself to sleep, I decided on the former, and wiped my eyes before entering Glee and taking my usual seat.
Shortly after I took my seat Charlie and Santana entered the room and they were bombarded with questions from almost everyone. At one point I thought I saw Santana glance in direction, but I was really struggling to keep my tears at bay, so when I felt her glare, I slightly turned away from her. Glee Club let out early today, which was great, now I just have to somehow make it through Cheerios practice before heading back home. I was going to head to my car to relax, or cry, before having to get ready for practice, but Santana approached me before I could get there.
She sounded so cheery as she said, "Hey Quinn!", I was hard to muster up a "Hey" back, but I did it, the only problem is that she can read me like a book and immediately knew that something was wrong. She asked what was wrong in the only way Santana Lopez can, which is with a little bit of sass. I made up some excuse about having a lot of homework and being tired from all my studying. She knew that was a lie and stormed off into the locker room so she could get ready for Cheerios practice.
Santana and I made it through practice without any incidents, and it actually kind of made me feel better getting to yell at people on the field whenever they would get a dance or move wrong. Although I was angry and honestly completely brokenhearted, Santana and I worked well as co-captains so I'm glad at least that hasn't changed.
Santana took off when practice ended, probably knowing I wasn't in the mood to talk to her. However, I ended up staying on the field a little longer in order to yell at one of the cheerleaders who kept messing up during practice, and besides, like I said yelling made me feel better. After I finished giving the young cheerleader a tongue-lashing, I headed back into the locker room to change, but as I was heading in Santana was literally running out. I caught her as she bumped into me and asked her if she was alright, knowing that she wasn't based upon the look on her face, but getting the final confirmation when she nodded her head "no" and then took off as fast as she could towards the exit.
I entered the locker room as fast as I could trying to figure out what the hell caused Santana to exit the school like a bat out of hell. But I was quickly given my answer when I walked into the locker room and saw Bree on her knees finishing Charlie off, with Charlie quietly groaning, before suddenly looking up and tucking herself back into her pants. I mean seriously, she didn't even have the decency to stop when Santana walked in on her getting a blowjob. I knew Charlie would find a way to screw this up and hurt Santana, it's who she is, after she gets what she wants she moves on. For example, in this case she wanted Santana to agree to be her girlfriend, which was the reason she created that big fuss about making Santana her Queen and taking her to Prom, but after Santana said yes, the game was over for her because in her mind she had won. Everyone and everything are disposable to Charlie, but I won't allow her to hurt Santana, no that is where I draw the line!
I aggressively slammed one of the lockers, scaring Bree and causing her to turn around and face me. Upon seeing me she quickly got off of her knees, gave Charlie a kiss on the cheek, and then quickly exited the locker room.
"What the hell Charlie?!" I yelled at her. I almost wanted to strangle Bree on her way out, I'll definitely get back to her tomorrow on practice. I'll focus on Charlie right now.
"Quinn it's not..."
"What? She's basically on her knees sucking your dick, Charlie!" I yelled again and slammed one of the lockers and saw Charlie flinched by the sound of it
"I..."
"You didn't even stop after Santana saw you?!" I questioned her. 'Why does she look so calm? I'm literally shaking with anger right now. Cheating over Santana really? With that Bree bitch?! They even had the audacity to finish whatever they were doing after Santana saw them? That's fucked up!'
"Quinn, I" I saw Charlie walking towards me but I saw red and punched her in the face. I heard a loud crack her hand quickly covers her bleeding nose, but her mouth and chin are already covered in blood.
"You are disgusting! Santana is our best friend and your girlfriend too. How could you do this to her? WHY?!" I gripped the collar of her shirt
"Why are you so mad?!" She rasped out
"Are you really asking me that?! Did you see the look on Santana's face?! How hurt she was?!" I can't believe her right now. I let go of her collar and push her to the ground
"So, this is all about huh?" She looked up at me with a smirk
"What the fuck are you saying" I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.
"Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about" she said while trying to wipe the blood from her nose.
"You're sick" I said with a distasteful tone
"You're mad because I got to her first and she is also MY girlfriend" She spat out in a bragging manner, as if Santana is a prize to win between us.
"You really think I'm that shallow huh? You think us being twins is a competition? Well, congrats Charlie, you won. If you've just told me before that this 'I paused and point between the two of us' is a competition then I would've let you win every single time. You're my twin sister Charlie, I will give everything to you, everything!"
I tried to hold the tears but it started to fall down to my cheeks. I rub the tears from my cheeks with my arms and straightened my body
"From now on don't expect anything from me, were not twins anymore, were competitors, I surrender, you won. Enjoy the life of being a winner, if this is what you meant by winning" I said after I fixed my ponytail and dusted my skirt and left the locker room.
After I left Charlie with blood pooling down her nose, I realized that I have to find Santana, even though I am brokenhearted because I just found out about her and Charlie, she's also hurting right now, and when you love someone, you're there for them no matter what. I don't want her to ever feel like she is alone, so I have to find her and let her know that I will always be there for her to lean on. The only problem is that I have no idea where the hell she went. I know she is probably embarrassed, and wouldn't want to be around a ton of people right now. But who could blame her, I would be embarrassed too if the person I lost my virginity to just up and cheated on me out of the blue.
Santana is only close with a select few people in Glee Club and I doubt she'd want to tell her cousins Puck and Jake what Charlie just did to her. So, who does that leave, I really hope I find her soon because if I don't that means she is out there all alone, and that's the last thing I want right now.
"Where could she be?"
Im sorry, another cliffhanger... Reviews please!
