Chapter Four
All is good…Or is it?
"Ah good afternoon Santana nice to see you we missed you this morning" Mr Schu said in his usual cheery mood to start the lesson.
"Oh Yeah! Sorry Mr Schu I just needed some time to think alone and lost track of time".
"That's ok Santana" Mr Schu said nicely then continued on with his lesson whilst Santana sat quietly at the back. "Now who would like to tell me what we have been doing this morning, just so Santana knows what's going on" Mr Schu asked.
Just as Mercedes started to put her hand up, Santana's hand shot up first and said, "That's alright Mr Schu, I can catch up anytime and I would like to sing a song I wrote about myself".
"Yeah sure Santana, I really like your enthusiasms guys let's keep it up" Mr Schu said excitedly.
"This song I'm dedicating it to someone, you know who you are" Santana said whilst the music began to play.
I'm just a girl, Looking for
Someone like you
I know…there's somebody for me
out there
Please be gentle, I'm just a girl
I may act tough
But I'm a girl with needs
A girl with needs
I've known you all my life…
I'm just a girl…Just…
To have someone to treat me right
I'm just as ordinary as any other
Please be gentle, I'm just a girl
I may act tough
But I'm a girl with needs
A girl with needs
I'm always on the lookout
But I don't get very far
I use to make the wrong choices
so now I'm turning a new-leaf
I'd just need some encouragement
Please be gentle, I'm just a girl
I may act tough
But I'm a girl with needs
A girl with needs
I may have changed…but I'm still me
I'm like no other, But they treat me
Differently…
I turn to you and you see me for
Who I am…
I'm a girl with needs, A girl with needs
Please be gentle, I'm just a girl
I may act tough
But I'm a girl with needs
A girl with needs
Please be gentle, I'm just a girl
I may act tough
But I'm a girl with needs
A girl with needs
A girl with needs
The needs for a little support
As the song faded out Santana noticed Brittany's eyes beginning to water, as Santana's was already trickling down her face. The meaning of the song also got to Quinn and Mercedes a little bit as well.
"Wow, that was an amazing performance Santana" Mr Schu said in amazement.
Santana kept looking at Brittany, as she was walking to her seat with Artie looking back and forth between them both with a confused look.
Brittany mouthed to Santana 'Was that for me?' Santana just nodded and Artie noticed this but did not know what Brittany was saying. 'But I'm with Artie, I love him' Brittany mouthed again.
Santana then turned the other way and faced Mr Schu.
"I love it when you guys start your afternoons with a song or two, it means a better chance for you guys to win again" said Mr Schu "Practice makes Perfect" He added as he wrote it on the whiteboard.
"But we've been practicing everyday and still there's always a group or two better than us" Mike said
"Yes I know, but to be the best you have to beat the best" Mr Schu said back giving them more faith.
Sam, Puck and Artie started to agree with Mike and caused an eruption of noise Mr Schu was unable to settle the situation, so Sunshine stepped up and told them all to shut up. To Rachel's dismay Mr Schu had said 'thank you' to Sunshine. She smiled back at him "That's ok Mr Schu, I just don't like people when they are too negative and too eager to give up on their dream"
"Now that's the spirit I'm looking for a little of positive attitude goes a long way" said Mr Schu encouragingly.
Quinn then shot out of her seat and walked to where Mr Schu was standing and said "I'm going to dedicate this song to you…Finn" on hearing this Rachel could not resist but to insist duet with Quinn.
You got me here with my defences down
Don't take a genius to figure out that you're
Used to your bed being a battleground
There's just no way, not me, not here, not now
Not when we've got something so strong
If love is war
Then you're a good reason to fight
Get beaten and fall to the floor
But I know I'll survive
Take that and more
Cos your love keeps me alive
There's only one way we could better this,
and simplify how crazy hard it is,
I know your tendency to sabotage
I can take the torture, you won't break this heart
Not when we've got something so strong
If love is war
Then you're a good reason to fight
Get beaten and fall to the floor
But I know I'll survive
Take that and more
Cos your love keeps me alive
Don't think for one minute
you've got to go easy on me,
Cause I'm at my best
when lesser men would retreat
They both look and point at Finn and he stares with wide eyes and begins to feel a little awkward
If love is war
Then you're a good reason to fight
Get beaten and fall to the floor
But I know I'll survive
Take that and more
Cos your love keeps me alive
If love is war
Then you're a good reason to fight
Get beaten and fall to the floor
But I know I'll survive
Take that and more
Cos your love keeps me alive
Soon as the song was ended Quinn and Rachel were facing each other and Quinn said "May the best girl win" she then turned away and walked back towards Finn and kissed him. Quinn then gave Rachel the 'he's mine, not yours so get your own' kinda look.
Rachel became upset so she excused herself from class to go to the toilets. She looked in the mirror trying not to cry but it all came out then she sussed-out a plan to see what Quinn was planning.
Meanwhile…Sunshine sneaks back to Adrenaline to fill them in on what has been happening, also giving them a few songs to try out for themselves. "Sorry I have to go before 'New Directions' get suspicious" she waved goodbye and left.
Little did she know Rachel had followed her and recorded everything with her camera and whispered to herself "I knew it" then snuck-away before she could even get caught by Sunshine who was walking out at the time. Rachel decided to show Finn straight-away.
She quickly drove to his house and all but ran to the door and quickly knocked she could hardly contained herself waiting for someone to open the door. Finally Finn opened the door and was surprised to see Rachel there "Rachael what are you doing here?"
"Finn I have something to show you it's about Sunshine, I know she's being a spy for Adrenaline and I have the proof here on tape" Rachel said quickly
"Rachel!" Finn said loudly "You have to stop doing this you are getting in over your head I think from what Jessie did to us has messed up your head, you're not thinking straight" said Finn starting to get infuriated.
"But Finn…I…I…have evi…" "No Rachel I've had enough you have got to stop being so obsessive and jealous" Finn said disappointedly cutting off Rachel.
"You're right Finn, I'm sorry what would I do without your words" Rachel replied agreeing wrapping her arms around his left arm.
Finn then pulled his arm away from her and without a second look at her he walked away leaving her to go for a run.
[Finn/Rachel/Quinn start singing]
Your fingerprints are on the weapon
I have fallen deception
Not again
Not again with you
And I am hearing your confession
Will I never learn my lesson?
Not if I'm
Not if I'm
With you
As Finn was running
I don't do so well when I'm alone
The truth is all I know…
Rachel sang whilst carrying her books in the hall
I am good at falling in love
Not so good at falling out
This song's for you
If you're the one
The one that I can't do without
I am great at being in love
Not so great at being out
This song's for you
If you're the one
who'll love me till the stars run out
But then I call and I'm waiting
I hear your voice and I am fading
Not again
Not again with you
Quinn outside walking near the tracks looking at Finn
So run away were far from home
See this is all I know…
I am good at falling in love
Not so good at falling out
This song's for you
If you're the one
The one that I can't do without
I am great at being in love
Not so great at being out
This song's for you
Finn then saw Quinn and jogged upto her and said "I don't think I can date anyone just yet I just need to be alone for a while and think things through". He jogged on without waiting for a reply and Quinn just stood and stared tears free flowing down her face.
If you're the one
who'll love me till the stars run out
Till the stars run out
Till the stars
Till the stars run out
Till the stars
I am good at falling in love
Not so good at falling out
This song's for you
If you're the one
The one that I can't do without
I am great at being in love
Not so great at being out
This song's for you
If you're the one
who'll love me till the stars run out
Good at falling in love
Not so good at falling out
Good at falling in love
Not so good at falling out
