Brittany was sitting in the auditorium thinking about her life. She knew she loved Sam but she didn't know if it was I'm in love with you love or I love you but as more of a best friend love. One thing she knew for sure was she was madly in love with Santana, she couldn't deny it. The blonde knew Santana still loved her and she was just as scared about not having her with her everyday like they were used to but the breakup really hurt Brittany and as much as she wanted to jump back with Santana her head kept telling her it was to risky. She sat there looking at the two pictures in her hands. One was her and Santana cuddling last year in the choir room the other was her and Sam pulling funny faces and hugging. Both made her smile but she felt like the smiles were different like the meant two completely different things. Brittany's phone went of and brought her back to reality. She checked the message and see it was from her boyfriend. He was aking if she wanted to come hang out with all the old club members but the dancer wanted to be alone she was so confused, sure Sam and Santana were totally cool with each other but Brittany couldn't handle being with both of them at the same time. She felt like she was cheating on Santana when she was there sitting beside Sam but at the same time if she sat with Santana she felt like she was being a bad girlfriend to Sam. Brittany decided to go with an easy answer, she typed back no busy with stuff in the auditorium. After she replied Brittany decided it was time to work things out, she needed to decided who she wanted to be, did she want to be cheerleader Brittany who was top of the school dating Sam Evens? or did she want to be grownup Brittany who would be wearing normal clothes and possible dating Santana Lopez?.
Sam had just gotten a reply from Brittany and right away he knew something was up. The text was so unlike any text you normally get from Brittany when she's ok. He was trying to think of anything that could possible have made his girlfriend upset he couldn't think of anything.
"Sam, are you ok?. You look a little off". Quinn pointed out before coming and rubbing Sam's shoulder. He just looked up at the small blonde. "Sam you know you can talk to us what's up"?. Quinn asked again.
"I donno. Brittany doesn't want to come hang out with us" he replied. Quinn and everyone else apart from Santana let out a laugh.
"Sam just cause she's your girlfriend doesn't mean she wants to hang out all the time". Puck laughed ruffling Sam's blonde short hair.
"you guys don't get it. It's not the fact she doesn't want to hang out it's the text that's bothering me". Santana's immediately walked over to Sam and asked to see the message. Her face fell after she finished reading.
"Santana"?. The room full of people questioned.
"Sam's right this aint a good text. We need to go see if Brittany's ok" the latina stated before motioning for everyone to follow. The decided to go stand back stage in the auditorium so Brittany couldn't see them but they could see her.
On stage Brittany had projected the two pictures onto the wall and was standing in the middle facing both of them. She took a deep breath in before she nodded towards the piano letting Brad know she was ready to sing.. The music started flowing through the room and Brittany swayed from side to side a little before she snag the first part.
Standing over the basin
I've been washing my face in
Jet black mascara racing
Down my face till I taste it.
Santana and Sam held there hands up making sure everyone who was whispering stopped so they could all listen. Back on stage Brittany was already emotional and was trying to fight back the tears.
Staring at my reflection
Every slight imperfection
Staring back at me
Naked as a girl can be.
Santana's heard broke the moment she heard the words leave Brittany's mouth. She wanted nothing more than to run out onto the stage and kiss her all over her face. She remembered that Brittany wasn't her's anymore, and her heart sank a little more. Sam stood there trying to put the pieces together.
And who would have thought
That I'd be so content
In my own skin
Brittany wrapped her arms around herself as she sang the lines. She had her eyes shut totally unaware behind the curtain her x girlfriend and her current boyfriend were both watching her with puzzled but sad looks on their faces. As the chorus began the tears the dancer had been tyring to hold back finally escaped and flowed freely running down her cheeks.
Right now the whole world could call me ugly
So what, to you I'm not
You don't love me because I'm beautiful
Oh no
I'm beautiful cause you love me
Sam could bet money that everyone was crying. He knew he was, he could see Santana and Quinn and he could here all the sniffling behind him. He took a deep breath trying to compose himself. Back on stage Brittany was pointing at both of the images on the wall. She knew the next verses would determine her choice of who she was going to be. As the break came to it's end she got ready for the next verse and turned to look directly at the image of Santana and herself..
I can tell you the deepest and darkest of my secrets
Knowing that you will keep it and it wont change our feelings
Every mark on my body
You know every inch of me
All the parts that I used to hate you glorify.
Brittany was still crying but to her she knew what she had to do now. Everything was becoming clear. Back stage Sam was listening to the words of the song and he began to think himself. Santana and the others still had no idea. Brittany thought she had to finish the song and sort her life out.
There's a new
Meaning to freedom
When I'm with you.
Right now the whole world could call me ugly
So what, to you I'm not
You don't love me because I'm beautiful
Oh no
I'm beautiful cause you love me
Beautiful cause you love me
Sam had just clicked things into place. He looked over to see Quinn smiling at him, he smiled back. Santana was nodding her head to the words mouthing yes you are. Sam could tell she was referring to Brittany.
There's a new
Meaning to freedom
When I'm with you
Brittany took a finally deep breath in before she sang the chorus for the last time.
Right now the whole world could call me ugly
So what, to you I'm not
You don't love me because I'm beautiful
Oh no
I'm beautiful cause you love me
Beautiful cause you love me
The music came to an end. Brittany walked over to the projector that had the picture of her and Sam and she turned it off. She walked over to the bin and pulled it into the middle of the stage. She ripped the picture in half and threw it in the bin. She ripped her cheerio top of and it went into the bin to. Brittany always wore clothes under her cheerio top and trousers in case she was too hot. She ripped her trousers off to and of course like everything else it went int the bin. She was now wearing a short strapped vest top with shorts and trainers so she took off her trainers and left them beside the bin. She went to her bag pack and took out a pair of heels. Brittany thought of herself as transformed, she knew who she wanted to be. Brittany was now ready to be grownup Brittany. She needed to call things off with Sam and go for it with Santana.
Back stage Santana and the rest of the old members stood wide eyed while Sam walked out to the stage. They watched as he tapped Brittany's shoulder and the began talking.
"Britt I seen the whole thing as did everyone" Sam said.
"Yeah"? The dancer questioned.
"Britt, I know we weren't going to last I know you still love Santana" Sam said in a hush tone while rubbing Brittany's arm.
"Sam, you're still hung up on Quinn,we liked the closeness and the idea of being there for each other. I think we thought since we're so close we could date and all our problems would go away" Brittany stated.
"I know. Brittany I do love you but I think as a sister. We can't do this any more it's unfair to both of us and Santana" Sam said.
"Sam I love you as a brother. Quinn is totally digging you. I want Santana so the only thing for us to do is breakup. But we're always able to hang out and chat. Nothing is weired between us right?" Brittany asked with a hint of fear in her voice.
"course not Brittany, now go win Santana back and I'll clear everyone else away. We can meet up later". Sam laughed. Brittany kissed his cheek and he smiled and walked off.
Moments later Santana was standing facing Brittany. Both girls didn't know what to say. Santana looked more nervous then Brittany. She was about to ask a question when she felt soft lips on her own. The kiss was slow but very Passionate. Santana had missed this so much, she bet herself up everyday since she broke it off in the choir room that day. The girls pulled back when oxygen became an issue, the placed their heads together.
"I love you Santana. I missed you so much and I would do anything for you to be mine again. Please will you be my girlfriend again"? Brittany asked. Her voice was so soft, Santana could tell she was scared.
"Brittany I've wanted nothing more. I love you too. I hated myself for what I did to you, to us. But I want to be with you. We're gonna make it work because we're Brittana and nobody can keep us apart". Santana cried before hugging Brittany.
"was that a yes"? Brittany questioned razing her eyebrow while smirking.
"it's not a yes, it's a massive yes" Santana replied back before knocking Brittany over into a hug.
