Take a Chance on Us
Santana had travelled back to Lima for Brittany. She couldn't cope without her anymore. Without Britt, she had reverted to her old personality. The bitchy cheerleader who hates everyone and anyone, who never lets anyone know that it's just because she's hurting. Sure, she'll always be sarcastic and she'll never be the nicest person around. But when she had Brittany by her side, she was happy. She didn't feel the need to hide herself behind snarky comments and rude gestures. She felt like she was only herself when she was with her girlfriend. The girlfriend that she had broken up with and left behind. Santana had to come back and make it right, but Brittany had other plans. Her Britt-Britt was dating Trouty-Mouth, how could anyone prefer those fishy lips to her own. So she had to convince Brittany to give them one more chance, or she'd let her go forever.
The two girls were stood in the choir room. Santana had chosen to do this here because of all of the memories that it contained. She wasn't normally a sentimental person, but Britt made it feel like it was okay to show her softer side. Santana took Brittany's hands and held them tight.
"I have something to say to you Britt. Can you just wait for me to finish before you say anything, it's really important that I get this off my chest. You are my best friend and I love you more than life itself. I never dreamed that I'd be lucky enough to be your girlfriend, but you trusted me and believed in me and gave me a chance and that made me love you even more. And then I was stupid enough to let you go. I tried dating other people after we were over, but none of them made me feel anything. I tried so hard to get over you, to stop myself from hurting so much but nothing I did made it any better. So I realised, I'm never going to get over you Britt. I love you with all my heart and I always will. I know you're dating Sam, and I know that he makes you happy, but I'm begging you to give me one more chance. I swear this time I won't screw it up. I won't let anything come between us. If you say no, I'll leave you alone. But no matter what you say, I will always be there for you if you need me, as your best friend or more. Everything I do in New York, it's all for you. I find myself thinking about you more than can be considered healthy. Anything I see, I wonder what you'd think about it. My life means nothing if you're not in it. So please, give our love a chance.
I knew from the moment we first met that you were special, and that our friendship would last forever. Then we were dating and that was the best time of my life. I felt free and happy and as if nothing could bring me down. You've always been mine, even when we were dating other people, you always put me first. And I did the same for you. I can't remember how many guys I've dumped for calling you stupid. But all good things come at a cost. You know they say that you don't realise what you had until it's gone? I knew you were the best thing that could have happened to me, but living without you made me realise that life without you isn't really life. I'm alive, but I'm not living, just going through the motions, pretending that everything's okay.
But it's not okay Britt. I can't live without you being in my life anymore. I know I'm not good enough for you, and I don't have anything to offer, but I can promise that I will love you forever. So if you say that you want to be with Sam, I'll be there for you as your best friend. I just need you in my life. But please give me a chance. One last chance for our relationship to work out and if it ends in ruin, then you can go back to Bieber."
Brittany looked at Santana, who was fighting back tears from the honesty with which she had just laid out her heart in front of the one person who had the power to hurt her. Brittany smiled at Santana. "Nobody could ever come close to you San. I love Sam, but not like I love you. You are my unicorn because you never think I'm stupid even if I think differently to everyone else and that makes you beautiful to me. Lord Tubbington promised me that you'd have to come back to me because that's what unicorns do. And that your magical horn would always light the way for you to come back. And if anyone got in your way, then you'd hurt them with those sparkly razor blades that you keep in your hair. But then I got angry because I realised that he couldn't know about you leaving me unless he read my diary. So I sent him to cat prison until he learns that you just aren't meant to read other people's diaries because it's not very nice. But then-"
Santana looked incredibly confused at what Brittany was saying and decided that she needed to get her to stop talking at some point soon otherwise her brain was going to melt. So she chose the only possible option and pressed her lips gently against the blondes.
"I missed you San."
"I missed you more Britt."
