CHAPTER 2: LET ME BE THE ONE

Monday evening...

"Rachel, you know what? Even though I do really like your voice, sometimes you make my ears wants to bleed! Really? Of all the songs,'My Headband'? And how the hell does everyone know the song?"

"TWITTER UPDATE! Santana is so D-R-U-N-K!", Rachel shouted, and everyone in the Bar shouted 'CHEERS!' at me.

"Na-uh! Shut the fuck up hobbit! I'm not drunk yet!", Because really I'm not.

"Yes youuu are!", She said with a smirk on her face.

"Then how'd you know?", I muttered. Hmm, Actually I am, but just a little.

"Because you said you liked my voice!", Then Rachel just poked out her tongue.

"You know what? I want to go all Lima hei-", Before I reach Rachel's finger Kurt interrupted me

"Calm down ladies! We're having fun in here, right? Please not now.", I just rolled my eyes.

"CHEERS! 'Cause my best friend Santana here wantssss to siiiing!", Then everyone in the crowd started to shout.

"SING! SING! SING! SING!"

"Oh! No way Man-hands! Nope! Never!"

"I want to sing something.", Quinn said, and I just smiled at her.

"Who's gonna vote for 'RUN JOEY RUN'!? Raise your hands!", Oh my god, I really want to vomit on Rachel's face, maybe she would stop suggesting nauseous songs!

"'Run Joey Run' is so fucking GENIUS Rachel, so -NO!", I say to her face then I hear Quinn chuckle, oh god, I just realized that she has a very cute chuckle.

"Quinn! I know you love me more than Santana! So go for 'RUN JOEY RUN'!", Rachel shouted while Quinn makes her her way onto the mini stage. Then everyone starts to applause for her.

Quinn whispered something to the band behind her, maybe it was about the song that she was going to sing. She grabbed the microphone, and I could tell that she's nervous, because she's squeezing the microphone so hard.

"Quinn! Quinn! Go!", Rachel's cheering.

"Rachel, why won't you stop barking just for a second, I wants to hear Quinn's voice!", I say while giving her an annoyed look.

"Fine...," She said while giving me a pout, as if that would work on me.

"Not working!", This time I'm the one who poked out my tongue.

"Hi everyone, I'm Quinn and I'd just like to sing something to lighten up the mood." I shift my attention back to Quinn and give her a smile of encouragement, "I hope you'll like it.", I saw her look at me when she said the word 'you'. So is this song for me? It finally started, I love this song, I love The Corrs!

I haven't slept at all in days
It's been so long since we've talked
And I have been here many times
I just don't know what I'm doing wrong

Why's she doing that again, the eyes that could melt anyone. I think I'm lost in her eyes.

What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to make you care
What can I say to make you feel this
What can I do to get you there

She's really looking at me, and I just shift my attention to Kurt and caught him looking at me. No, wait! Everyone's looking at me, but, why?

There's only so much I can take
And I just got to let it go
And who knows I might feel better
If I don't try and I don't hope

"Oh! Beautiful! Isn't that lovely Santana?", I think Rachel doesn't have any idea of what was going on, me either, I'm not really sure why everyone's looking at me.

"Shut up dwarf!", I muttered.

What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to make you care
What can I say to make you feel this
What can I do to get you there

No more waiting, no more aching
No more fighting, no more trying

Maybe there's nothing more to say
And in a funny way I'm calm
Because the power is not mine
I'm just gonna let it fly

I grabbed the tequila that is on our table and drunk it straight. Not good! I feel like I'm burning!

What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to make you care
What can I say to make you feel this
What can I do to get you there

Love me.

Thank god! I can't stand the looks from everyone, it's like I've done something to them and they want me to disappear or something. And then I see Quinn making her way back to our booth.

"Hi.", She smiled.

"Hi.", I answer back and gave her a smile, "That was beautiful, who was that song for?" I ask and can see from her eyes, that she's a little tense.

"F-for…", she looked at Kurt, then to Rachel, and back at me, "Everyone! Yeah, ev-everyone!"

"Okay, I like your voice, so beautiful, and like an angel", She tucked a strand of hair behind her ears and mouthed thanks to me.

"Brittany, not now, she's doing fine and we're having fun right now, it is not a good time to talk and talking on the phone is not a good idea...", I hear Kurt saying through his smart phone, and I felt my heart tighten when I heard Britts name. Kurt, Rachel and Quinn thought that we're officially not together but, it is still unofficial, we didn't clear it, although Brittany already told me that she fell out of love with me. I know why Brittany's calling, because she wants our relationship to end up being back to best friends. And now I'm giving her what she wants. I can't take this anymore.

I got up from my seat, and mouthed Kurt to not drop the phone. I can feel the lump in my throat, making my way on the mini stage.

I asked the pianist if he knows the song that I want to sing. I'm lucky that he does. Then I shift my attention to my friends, and everyone in the crowd,

"Hi, I know my friend Quinn just lightened up the mood, but, I need to sing this song to my special someone.", I looked to Kurt, assuring that Brittany is still on the line, "I do hope you'll hear every word of this song and be happy for the rest of your life with… him.",

I gave a sign to the pianist that tells him I'm ready to start the song. Hearing the sound of this music makes me want to lose consciousness. I'm not ready to do this, but I have to. I have to set her free.

Somebody told me you were leavin'
I didn't know
Somebody told me you're unhappy
But it doesn't show
Somebody told me that you don't want me no more
So you're walkin' out the door

I know Brittany is not here, but I just closed my eyes, and start imagining we're in the choir room like the same scene when I sang "Mine".

Nobody told me you've been cryin'
Every night
Nobody told me you'd been dyin'
But didn't want to fight
Nobody told me that you fell out of love from me
So I'm settin' you free

I can feel teardrops on my cheeks. It feels like I'm dying, and too many flashbacks are in my mind right now. I'm gonna miss everything about her. Her smile, her laugh, her out of the world comments, her 'It's Brittany, Bitch' line, the cuddles, the 'I Love You, San'. I'll miss everything about her.

Let me be the one to break it up
So you won't have to make excuses
We don't need to find a set up where
Someone wins and someone loses
We just have to say our love was true
But has now become a lie
So I'm tellin' you I love you one last time
And goodbye

It is so painful singing the words, 'I'm setting you free' and 'goodbye'. I'm not ready to do this, but I have to be strong. I can feel that I'm really about to break down.

Somebody told me you still loved me
Don't know why
Nobody told me that you only
Needed time to fly
Somebody told me that you want to come back when
Our love is real again

Let me be the one to break it up
So you won't have to make excuses
We don't need to find a set up where
Someone wins and someone loses
We just have to say our love was true
But has now become a lie
So I'm tellin' you I love you one last time
And goodbye

I can feel that my voice is shakey, and I can't understand the words that's coming out of my mouth. I looked to Quinn. I just had this feeling to look at her, 'cause I know she's one of my strengths. I can see teardrops form in her eyes, but she smiled at me, and mouthed 'We love you.',

Just turn around and walk away
You don't have to live like this
But if you love me still then stay
Don't keep me waiting for that final kiss
We can work together through this test
Or we can work through it apart
I just need to get this off my chest
That you will always have my heart

Let me be the one

Then that's how I finished the song, "Thank you.", I said to everyone as I wipe the teardrops from my face. "So, I think Rachel is up for some 'RUN JOEY RUN!'",

Everyone in the crowd burst out laughing, although I still could see them wiping the tears from their eyes. I saw Kurt just end the call, and he gave me a big smile.

NOTE: So, what do you think? Just let me know and leave a review. I need some inspirations and you're all a part of it. You can ask any questions and make suggestions on my tumblr. More loves!
