(This takes place after the Rumors episode, SPOILERS). This is my first story, I hope you like it!
Brittany, lay on her bed, utterly confused. Just yesterday, Santana seemed willing to become more open with what they had together, and then Brittany turned around and it was a secret again. Artie had called her stupid and now Santana can't seem to make up her mind.
"Whenever we have a problem in Glee, what do we do...sing about it. And I know the perfect song..." Brittany told her cat Lord Tubbington, who had been perched on the end of her bed.
The next day in Glee, the group practiced a possible song for Nationals. At a break, Brittany approached Mr. S and asked if she could sing a song.
"Listen up class, while we take a breather, Brittany has prepared a number for us." Mr. S told the class.
"Thanks guys. I know I am more the dancing type than the singing type, but I've had a lot going on lately and I have picked a song that describes my confusion. And I am not talking about breakfast." Brittany said and then starting singing
You change your mind like a girl changes clothes
Yeah, you change your mind like a girl I would know
And you always think, always speak cryptically
I should know that you're no good for me
The look on Santana's face showed Brittany that she knew it was about her already. Artie's face showed he knew it was not about him.
'Cause you're hot and you're cold
You're yes and you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
You're black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We hug, we make up
You, you don't really wanna stay, no
But you, you don't really wanna go, oh
'Cause you're hot and you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
Someone call the doctor
Got a case of a love disorder
Stuck on a roller coaster
Can't get off this ride
You change your mind like a girl changes clothes
'Cause you're hot and you're cold
You're yes and you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
You're black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We hug, we make up
You, you don't really wanna stay, no
But you, you don't really wanna go, oh
As Brittany finished, she noticed two things-Artie looked puzzled and turned around at looked at Santana. Santana had tears rolling down her face, her mascara was everywhere. She got up from her seat and walked to the front of the room and embraced Brittany.
"I'm sorry B. I didn't realize that while I was trying to avoid being hurt, that I was hurting you so much. I promise not to do that again. Starting now. Is it OK if I tell the class about us?" Santana asked, astonishing Brittany. Brittany nodded her head yes, in awe of the power of music.
"Hey, everyone. That song was about me and about how much of a mess I have made of things lately. I've been angry because I am confused and mad at myself, and I have taken it out on a lot of people who don't deserve it, most of all Brittany. I'm in love with her, and I am admitting that today. You can say what you want to say, but please say it to my face." Santana said with tears continuing to roll down her cheeks. Brittany held her hand and smiled at her.
"Thanks Santana, that means a lot to me. I am proud to call you my girlfriend." Brittany said hugging her. The class applauded, and surprisingly even Artie. He rolled over to the girls.
"I am happy for you guys, but I swear Santana, if you ever hurt her-" Artie began.
"I know, I know, I'll let you run over me," Santana finished and the three laughed.
"Mr. S, can I sing a song now too? I know it might be clichéd, but it has been running through my head the past few days." Santana said and Mr. S nodded.
Brittany went to sit down, but Santana grabbed her hand. "Stay up here with me, while I sing it to you, please." Brittany smiled as Santana began singing.
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
As Santana finished, with both her and Brittany, and all the girls in the class crying, they embraced and gave each other a light kiss.
Santana didn't know what tomorrow might bring, how many slushies might come her way or the looks she might get. But now she realized it didn't matter. She knew Brittany would be there to help clean up the slushyss mess, Brittany would be there to squeeze her hand and distract her from the looks, and Brittany would know the truth behind any rumors. Now all Santana could do was be there for Brittany, love her wholeheartedly and try not to make a mess of things.
