Protective

Chapter 12

Isabella's POV

I walk into the choir room and see Brittany, Lauren, Mercedes, Santana, and Quinn talking about prom dresses. As I walk in, I see Puck look up at me "There she is!" I look at him confused "what do you want Puckerman?" I ask as I stop in the middle of the room "help me spike the punch bowl at prom? I need my best friend beside me to do it" I snort as I sit in Britt's lap "not gonna happen, I haven't asked my person if they'll go with me yet. They might say no. And if they do, Isabella Lopez isn't going" I feel Brittany squeeze me. "Who're you asking?" Brittany asks as Santana hits me "yeah! And why don't I know?" I glare at her "I don't want to talk to you" I huff "you're still mad?" I nod. Mr. Schue walks into the room "Figgins has asked us to perform." Everyone looks around the room, "I know this isn't ideal, with nationals coming up, but we don't have a choice. And we could really use the money. But I know that prom is a special rite of passage. I wanna make sure all of you guys get a chance to enjoy the dance too. So we're gonna stagger the performances so that each and every one of you has a lot of time to dance with your dates." Mercedes frowns, "excuse me" she gets up and walks out of the room "Is she okay?" Mr. Schue asks "Mercedes doesn't have a date for prom." Quinn says sadly "So? I don't have a date. I'm just going to dance, and then all your dates are going to ignore you and come dance with me, so your dates are really my dates." Brittany says shrugging "I'm gonna go talk to Mercedes." Kurt says starting to get up "No. Let me." Rachel says walking out of the room. I get up looking at Puck and Finn nodding "Mr. Schue" he looks at me "if I may, I have something special prepared for my best friend" I look at Brittany and see her smiling. Finn gets behind the drums and Puck gets a guitar. "Okay, Britt, you're my best friend. You're my soulmate. You know all of my secrets. Some stuff Santana doesn't even know about" I look at my sister "I'll tell you later, don't ask" she laughs shaking her head "and I know how excited you were for prom, and because of some unforeseen circumstances," I glare at Artie "are going alone. I don't want you to do that, so I was hoping maybe after this performance you might consider going with me instead" I smile at her

I dip her and then bring her back up as she laughs hugging me
