I do not own glee. Nor do I own the fabulous Brittana romance.


"Please San, please stay...I love you...you can't leave me, Santana…" Brittany pleaded, tears pooling in her eyes as her and Santana lay curled up in the covers of her bed, still in their pajamas. They were talking about their impending breakup, and Santana's transfer to a new boarding school. Open and half filled suitcases littered the floor as the two girls lay there, just enjoying the feelings of their love.

Summer break was coming to a close, and with it meant their breakup. Santana wasn't ready to be out yet, and although Brittany respected it, it didn't mean she wanted to go through with it. She loved the latina with all of her heart, and couldn't even imagine the thought of her leaving McKinley.

"I have to Britt...we can't be in love anymore…our time is up..." Santana said, sadly, holding a now sobbing Brittany in her arms as she too, cried.

"But I'm in love with you...I know that now...I only want to be with you...only you…"

"I love you too Britt, and I'll never stop loving you...ever...you're my one and only…but sometimes, love isn't even enough to cure the hate in the world..."

"But why can't you stay...why do you have to go?" Brittany said, sitting up and wiping her tears away. Santana took Brittany's hand in her own and squeezed it tightly.

"Brittany, just imagine the things people are going to think and say about us when we go back...the two lesbian cheerleaders...it's kind've ironic isn't it...we can have anyone we want, and I still choose you...after all of these years, I still come back to you…" Santana said with a soft smile, but her expression changed greatly as she turned away from Brittany. "But just think of how they'll treat us. Like outcasts...Britt, do you remember what they did to Kurt when he came out?" Santana asked. Brittany looked at Santana and nodded as more tears fell out of her eyes.

"But you're Santana Lopez...you don't care what anyone thinks about you…"

"I'm not scared of what they'll say about me, Britt, I'm terrified of what they'll say about you...all of the words and the dirty looks and the hurt...I just...I can't let that happen to you...I'd never forgive myself…"

"San, it doesn't matter what they think about us...all that matters is the love you and I share and…"

"And what if they hurt you, Britt?" Santana interrupted, letting go of Brittany as tears streaked down her cheeks, "What if they make you hate yourself? You don't deserve that...you deserve so much more…"

"You are more, Santana," Brittany said, leaning back into Santana's arms. "You're all that I've ever wanted...San, you make me feel so happy and so glad that I chose to fall in love with you...I only want you, Why can't you see that?" Brittany cried, letting more tears spill out as Santana stroked up and down her arm with her hand.

"I do see it Britt, I see it every time you smile, or laugh, or cry. I feel the same way about you...Britt, I'm at my best when I'm with you and I wouldn't want it any other way...that's why I have to go, I don't want us to lose our love…"

"We won't, Santana...you're the only one I'm ever going to love…"

"Don't make promises you can't keep, Britt…" Santana said, standing up and walking towards her window...wiping away her tears…"

"But I can keep this promise…" Brittany said, walking over and engulfing Santana in a hug from behind. "I'll always love you Santana, more than anyone else in the whole world…"

"But what if, Britt, what if you find a girl, or a guy, that is so much better than me...that loves you even more than I do…"

"There isn't enough love in the world…" Brittany interrupted. There were a few moments of silence and crying, from both Santana and Brittany, as they stood there, clinging onto each other as if it was the only thing holding them both together. Brittany took Santana's hand and turned to face her.

"Santana, without you, I'm just an empty shell of a person...no one to stand up for, no one to love...I need you, more than anyone else, because I love you...and it feels so great to call you mine. To face the world and say 'I love Santana Maria Lopez! Deal with it!" Santana chuckled and smiled at her lover.

"Britt, promise me something?" Santana asked, sitting on her windowsill.

Brittany sat down next to her and grabbed her hand. "Anything…"

"When I'm gone, you won't forget me...you won't forget our love...you won't forget us…"

"San, I'm not going to have to forget you...you aren't leaving without me...wherever you go, I go...It's my promise to you…"

"Britt, don't make this any harder than it has to be…"

"Do you regret us, Santana? Do you regret all of those loving nights? Do you regret all of the kissing, and all of the love?" Brittany asked loudly, tears threatening to fall, once again.

"No, Britt, I wouldn't change a thing…"

"Then why do you have to go, can't you see that I want to be with you, so much...can't you feel my love?"

"That's what makes this so hard, Britt, I love you, and I just can't bring myself to leave…" Santana said, putting her head in her hands.

"Then don't leave...stay...be my lover...be the one to stand up...because if our love is truly worth it, then you shouldn't let it go…we're better than them, because we have each other to love, San...All they are is jealous… jealous of our love…" Brittany said, pulling Santana's head in her lap.

"Why is it you always know exactly what to say?" Santana asked.

"Well, I am a bit of a genius…" Brittany responded with a laugh. "But seriously, if you leave, I have nothing. So stay, for a while...please...even if you don't want to come out...just don't leave me…" Silence littered the room as Santana made her decision.

"I'm so scared Britt, I'm terrified...but it's all worth it, everything, if I'm with you…" Santana said pulling Brittany into a long, passionate kiss. "I love you, Britt, so much…" Santana said breathing heavily. And as they both pulled each other onto Brittany's bed, making their ways under the covers, Brittany breathed back her response.

"I love you too, San…"


A/N: Thought I'd try something new and write a Brittana fic... Did you like it? The song that inspired it was Summer Love by One Direction...It's really beautiful and sad, you should check it out. Please review! Even if it's a criticism, they really help!
