Brittany walked up to Lauren, fists clenched at her sides, and looked
her dead in the eye "Why did u do that?" "I have my reasons stupid."
Lauren stated. Brittany looked over at a hurt Santana and remembered
that earlier that day she didn't stand up for her best friend when
Lauren had called her a bitch or when the entire glee club had said
teamed up on her. If Lauren had called her a bitch Santana would have
stood up for her, she thought. "Is this what they do in Lima heights,
let there stupid friends fend for them." Lauren spoke loudly. Brittany
turned around and looked back at Santana on the floor. "Humph" she
heard from behind her. She couldn't take it anymore she spun around
and hit Lauren square in the face. She retreated to Santana's side
before even letting Lauren respond. "Are you okay San?" Brittany said
in her most caring voice. Santana painfully moved her head from side
to side. "Hold me" Santana said weakly. Brittany nodded her head and
wrapped her arms around Santana's waist. Santana cuddled up against
her and nuzzled her head into the crook of Brittany's neck. They sat
their for half a period until Santana broke the silence "Britt?" "ya
S" "I..I." Santana tried to look up at her but the pain hurt to much.
"what?" "I..I. Think I love you" "oh". She wasn't disappointed that
all Brittany said was oh because that's what she loved about her,
Brittany spoke very simply. Santana knew, by the way Brittany was
staring blankly at the wall, that a million thoughts were going
through her head. She just wanted to let her know that she loved her.
"Britt can you carry me to the nurse" "ya" Brittany said, while still
in deep thought. She got up, and slowly hooked one arm underneath
Santana's knees and placed the other arm on her upper back, trying not
to cause her friend any further pain. "thanks" Santana said softly
and Brittany just nodded and started to walk in the direction of the
nurses office. Santana felt Brittany's strong arms tense underneath
her and she winced painfully. Brittany was the one to finally brake
the silence. "San?" "ya b?" Santana murmured. Brittany stopped and
brought her head down to Santana's. She lightly brushed her lips
against her forehead, and whispered into her ear "I've always loved
you".
