Okay guys, since I'm taking over Glee club till Mr. Shue gets back, so bear with me alright? This week's lesson is about feelings, or singing with feeling, and I have the two perfect people to help teach this lesson. When we were in Glee club they were the best at expressing their feelings through song, and maybe some of you can guess who they are. Would you please give a warm welcome to… Rachel Berry and Santana Lopez," Finn announced to the Glee club. The older Glee club members cheered and clapped as Rachel and Santana came in giving their own little bows.
"Hey! We're so glad you're here," Tina said getting up to hug Rachel and wave at Santana. Everyone greeted them except for the new members and a very shocked Brittany and Sam.
"So let's get this lesson started, girls if you wouldn't mind enlightening us about feelings," Finn said, trying to be professional and sitting down in a chair. Santana and Rachel looked at one another till Santana gestured for Rachel to start.
"Okay so, when we talk about feelings for songs, we are talking about putting feelings into the song, not singing a song about feelings, even though sometimes you have to, to get your point across," Rachel said. She scanned the new faces, all of them looking skeptical to the idea. Santana noticed also.
"Okay, here is what she means, you can't sing a song and not put a feeling behind it, otherwise it's just words put to music, you have to put feeling behind it for it to mean anything. Like an angry song, you have to put your anger into it, same goes for sad, happy, confusion, or… love," Santana said the last part looking at Brittany who blushed and quickly looked away.
"But why? If we sing the song right then it shouldn't matter if we do or not," Jake asked, Santana looked at him and saw him rake his eyes over her body. Yeah, I still got it, she said to herself as she smiled.
"Because it would be like speaking the lyrics rather than singing them," Rachel replied.
"Maybe it would help if you gave a demonstration you guys," Mercedes intervened. Rachel and Santana looked at one another and smiled. they have gotten a lot closer since they both went to New York and Rachel allowed Santana to stay with her.
"Very well, hmm what song should we sing Berry?" Santana asked. Rachel smiled.
"I think I know," Rachel went over and whispered into the guitar players ear, he smiled and started off with a familiar guitar melody.
Santana:
You know that I'm a crazy bitch
I do what I want when I feel like it
All I wanna do is lose control
Oh, oh
But you don't really give a shit
You go with it, go with it, go with it.
'Cause you're fucking crazy rock'n'roll
Rachel:
Yo-u said "Hey,
What's your name? "
It took one look
And now we're not the same
Yeah you said "Hey."
And since that day
You stole my heart
And you're the one to blame
Santana and Rachel:
(Yeah)
And that's why I smile
It's been a while
Since every day and everything has
Felt this right
And now you turn it all around
And suddenly you're all I need
The reason why I-I-I
I smile
I-I
Rachel:
Last night I blacked out I think
What did you, what did you put in my drink?
I remember making out and then, oh, oh
I woke up with a new tattoo
Your name was on me and my name was on you
I would do it all over again
Santana:
Yo-u said "Hey,
What's your name? "
It took one look
And now we're not the same
Yeah you said "Hey."
And since that day
You stole my heart
And you're the one to blame
Santana and Rachel:
(Yeah)
And that's why I smile
It's been a while
Since every day and everything has
Felt this right
And now you turn it all around
And suddenly you're all I need
The reason why I-I-I
I smile
I-I
The reason why I-I-I
I smile

Santana:
You know that I'm a crazy bitch
I do what I want when I feel like it
All I wanna do is lose control
Rachel:

They finished their song and everyone clapped. They smiled and hi-fived one another. Santana glanced at Brittany who was still avoiding her gaze, and then her eyes switched to the hand caressing her thigh and followed it up to Sam. Her smile faltered a little and quickly looked away.
"So… what emotion did you put in that?" Jake asked, still not getting the point.
"Happiness and love," Santana sighed. He nodded slowly still not understanding the point of the lesson.
"Okay so everyone's homework this week is to find a song that can express what you are feeling now, not before, not in the future, now," Rachel said with a smile.
"Yeah and then you will all perform your songs to the class on Friday after school," Finn said. Everyone nodded.
"Oh, and little Puck," Santana started, he looked up from his back pack, "You perform last," Santana said.
"What? Why?" Santana smirked.
"Cause I can see that you aren't gettin' what I'm sayin', so maybe after a seeing the performances of the others you'll get the idea, so in turn I'm extending your due date of this assignment Saturday," Santana said. Jake smirked and walked up to her, everyone was watching the spectacle.
"Like just you and me, as in you want to go out with me huh? All you had to do was ask," he said with a smirk.
"Ha, sorry honey, but you see the only straight I am is a straight up bitch," she laughed. His eyes clouded with confusion, she sighed. "Look, see me, yeah I'm gay, so you has a no chance in hell to get up on this comprede?" she said. He nodded with wide eyes. "Good, besides everyone else is going to be there," Santana shrugged.
"Wait Santana you can't decide that for everyone," Finn protested.
"Sorry Fetus Face, already did, and I expect everyone to be at… my house," Santana said.
"Which is where exactly?" Marley asked, Santana looked to her and sighed.
"Fairveiw, it the really big black house, with pretty cars in the driveway, you won't miss it, and if you can't find it, ask Brittany," Santana said looking towards her ex who was still sitting with Sam. It was the first time Santana said her name since the break up and it felt good when it rolled off her tongue again. Brittany also involuntarily shivered at hearing Santana's smooth voice say her name. Brittany still wouldn't meet Santana's eyes, and Santana's heart dropped a little each time she didn't, flashing back to what she said t Brittany before she broke it off, "Every day during sophomore year, I would sit in the back and look at you. I counted the times you would smile at me and die on the days you didn't". Santana shook her head when she heard Finns voice.
"Alright everyone you can go home now," Santana watched Sam kiss Brittany's cheek and link their hands together. Santana felt a pain of jealousy shoot through her at the action and felt her heart crack when she saw Brittany smile from the action. Rachel saw the exchange and saw the despair and hurt in Santana's eyes. Santana quickly walked out of the room, holding back tears. Brittany looked up to see her rush out and then saw Rachel rush right after her. Brittany also felt the pain of jealousy rush through her.
Santana reached a bathroom and closed the door, sliding down against it as she took it shaky, shallow breaths. Suddenly she heard knocking and Rachels voice through the door, and felt a push against her back.
"Santana, please let me in. Please talk to me," Rachel pleaded. Santana sat there trying to calm herself. After a few seconds she slowly got to her feet and opened the door. Rachel looked at her with sad sympathetic eyes.
"Sorry, I just needed some space," Santana mumbled. Rachel nodded and sadly smiled as she drew the girl in for a hug. Santana started the shake against Rachel, and soon Rachel felt her shoulder get wet with tears. Santana let out a deep gurgled sob and the both slowly sunk to their knees. Rachel held on to her friends and continued to shush her and stroke her hair.
"Santana?" both girls looked up at the familiar voice and saw Quinn standing there in front of them.
"Q-Quinn? W-wh-what are y-you doing h-here," Santana asked through hiccups, her voice raspy from crying.
"Rachel told me you two were coming back to Lima, and that you were kicked out of college. And since I remember what you looked like when you told me about you breaking up with Brittany, I knew I would be needed here. Besides, school was closed due to some… remodeling," Quinn said. Santana looked down in shame at her being kicked from college was brought up. Quinn smiled and kneeled down with them, she put her arms tightly around Santana's body and hugged her, as new sobs came up from the Latin's throat. Quinn was shocked at the raw crying that Santana was doing, she's only seen this once, and that was when Santana told her about liking Brittany and how afraid she was that the blonde would never like her back. Quinn looked up at Rachel and they smiled briefly at one another will Quinn mouthed 'what happened'. Rachel's eyes turned sad along with her smile and she mouthed back 'Sam and Brittany'. Quinn nodded subtlety and continued to hold the broken Santana.
