Chapter 11
Santana pulled her car up to the Berry house she saw Quinn holding back Brittany and Rachel hopping on one leg.
"Oh crap!" Santana hissed to herself.
The Latina shut her engine off and ran out of her car and up to the trio still standing at the front door. When she reached the three girls she was met with confusion and anger.
"You lied! You're such a liar Santana! And a bitch!" Quinn yelled
"Whoa! What the hell?" Santana replied
"Rachel just told us" Quinn yelled
Brittany was still glaring at Rachel, who just looked so confused.
"Ok I think we all need to just relax for a moment and talk about this" Rachel spoke up.
"I don't want to talk to you" Quinn hissed
Rachel looked hurt
"Quinn"
"No Rachel…I can't believe I actually thought I liked you, that you were a good person. I bet all that talk about not wanting to hurt Finn was nothing but bull shit. You'd probably say anything to make me break up with him and hurt him. I mean you clearly don't care about anyone's relationships, you broke them up by sleeping with Santana" Quinn replied
"I didn't-"
"I told you that was months ago" Santana interrupted
"Stop lying San! Rachel told us all about it" Brittany yelled through her tears.
"What?" Santana asked as she looked at the small diva
"I never said that" Rachel implored
"Yes you did" Brittany replied
"No…ok look I think there is some kind of misunderstanding here. Yes I slept with Santana but that was in January, seven months ago. But that was it. We did it once!" Rachel explained
Santana nodded in agreement hoping the two blondes would believe them.
Silence fell over the foursome as they all took in what had been said.
"Please, you've got to believe me. Brittany I swear I never knew you two were together when it happened but it only happened once." Rachel broke the silence.
Oh God, I want to believe them I really, really want to believe them. But then why did Finn say that? He has never been that vindictive before, not towards anyone. Honestly I don't know Rachel, not like I know Finn. Not like I know Santana. She already cheated on Brittany, what's to say she hasn't been at it all this time and is only saying this to keep Brittany from leaving her.
Brittany looked from Rachel to Santana; she turned around to face Quinn who was still holding onto the tall blonde. She whispered into her ear and Quinn nodded. Santana and Rachel looked on in hope that the two would believe them and everything could work out.
But to their shock and disappointment the two blondes untangled from their embrace, Quinn took Brittany's hand into her own and they walked off without a second glance or word to the two brunettes.
"Britt!" Santana called after them and tried to go after them but they moved quickly and got into Quinn's car and they drove off.
Santana stormed over to Rachel
"This is all your stupid fucking oaf of a best friend's fault!" She yelled at the smaller girl.
"What?"
"Finn! He told Quinn that you and me were fucking and now Brittany is going to leave me. I can't lose her Rachel and any chance you had with Q is gone now too." The Latina fumed
"Finn said what?" Rachel asked getting more and more angry
"He told her that for the last few months you and I have been sleeping together and because I told Britt about that stupid mistake in January she thinks that we have been together all this time and that I have been lying to her" Santana explained
"I'm going to kill him! I can understand why he did it but if he wanted to hurt me then hurt me, not you or Brittany and not Quinn. He is in for a world of pain" Rachel was seething
"Calm down mighty mouse, he's like ten feet tall he could crush you with his pinky finger" Santana replied
"I don't intend to physically hurt him…but so help me god he will pay for this"
Oh he will pay!
Brittany and Quinn exited out of the ice-cream parlour each with a cone of double-choc ice-cream. They took a seat at one of the tables outside the place and sat in silence as they ate their dessert. They hadn't said a word since they left Rachel's house.
"My heart hurts" Brittany finally said once she finished her ice-cream.
"I know…mine hurts too" Quinn sadly replied
"Do you love her?" Brittany asked
Quinn looked down and thought about it for a moment.
Do I love her? Sure she's extremely talented, she's funny, she's charming, she's gorgeous, she has those big expressive brown eyes, her soft lips, her odd shaped nose, her long legs that defy the laws of nature because she is so tiny…damn it.
"Yes" she whispered
Brittany just nodded in understanding.
"I think I've loved Santana since the day we met. We were five, she pushed me over and I was in love" She giggled
Quinn quirked her eyebrow at that
"It was by accident and she cried because she thought I had broken my arm. She took care of me; she helped me get back up and then got me a Band-Aid even though I didn't need one." Brittany explained
Quinn gave her a soft smile, she had never heard that story before.
"She was such a cutie when she was little, not that she isn't cute anymore but…she had these chubby little cheeks that you just wanted to squeeze and she had an adorable stutter" Brittany went on
That was something Quinn definitely didn't know about.
"I helped her with her stutter and she helped me learn how to write my name…do you think she's been cheating on me all this time?" Brittany finally asked looking so lost
"I don't know Britt…I want to believe that they are telling the truth but…I just don't know" Quinn replied
Rachel and Santana banged on the Hudson front door with enough force that the door could very well come off its hinges. An alarmed and annoyed Carol Hudson opened the door.
"Rachel? Honey what is the emergency?" She asked
"Hi, sorry Carol but is Finn home?" Rachel asked
"Yeah he's up in his room"
"Great" She gave her a small smile then she and Santana pushed their way through and went up the stairs.
The two brunettes barged through the bedroom door startling Finn who was playing his X-Box. When he saw who it was he looked angry then scared.
"W-What are you doing here?" He asked damning himself for stuttering
"You know damn well why we are here Finn Hudson" Rachel replied through gritted teeth.
"You're lucky your mother is home otherwise you would be dead right now" Santana added
"How could you do that? How could you hurt so many people just to make yourself feel better?" Rachel asked
"You hurt me first" He replied
"Yeah, I admit that I did…but that gave you no right to hurt Brittany, Santana and Quinn"
"What are you talking about I didn't do anything to them"
"No? You told Quinn that me and Rachel have been fucking each other for months!" Santana yelled
"So?" He replied still not getting it
"Brittany is my girlfriend you idiot!" She screeched
Finn looked surprised; yeah he wasn't the smartest boy in Lima.
"And now….now she thinks that I've been cheating on her for months" She added
"Are you happy now? Does it make you feel like a man?" Rachel asked
Finn at least had the decency to look guilty and remorseful
"I didn't mean…I didn't know" he mumbled
"You need to tell Quinn and Brittany that it was a lie, you need to make this better or we will make your life a living hell" Santana demanded
"Only if Rachel promises to leave Quinn alone" He replied
Both girls looked shocked at his audacity
You bastard
"Fine" Rachel answered through gritted teeth.
Santana looked at her a little surprised, Finn smiled
"Great, then I'll tell them it wasn't true" He replied
The two brunettes left the Hudson house and went back to their car.
"Why did you do that Rachel?" Santana asked
"Because then Brittany and Quinn will believe us"
"Yeah but why did you promise to leave Q alone?"
Rachel gave her a small smile
"Santana, I only make promises to my friends…Finn hasn't been my friend since he left my house this morning. Quinn will never go back to him, she's gay and Finn isn't. If she'll still have me I'll do anything to let her have me" Rachel replied
"Wow Berry, you might actually be a little badass…I'm impressed" Santana smirked
"Thank you" Rachel smiled
