A Fighters Heart

A/N: This is my first fanfic, I am a brittana shipper. I've had this story on my mind I just have to try. So review please, Constructive Criticism is welcomed. Multiple Chapter hopefully.

(Lopez Residence)

We are met with a torn and broken appearing Santana Lopez alone in her bedroom, of the large Lopez home. Santana Lopez has been on the journey of discovery the past few months since her junior year has ended. Without her constant vision of love Brittney surrounding her each day, she has had the time to understand who she is and who she wants to be. With all this time she has finally decided to tell someone besides Brittney she is a lesbian. And a family member if you can believe that, the person she has decided to tell is her brother Cristian.

Now not many people know about Crist (pronounced like its spelled not Christ). Santana's brother seven years older than her was sent to military school at age ten, but fully willingly. Crist graduated military high school and then joined to the Marine Core. In 2009 he was deployed to Fallujah, Iraq. Now Santana and Cristian have been very close writing letters to each other and hanging together each time he visited home from school. With the distance their parents have showed them physically and emotionally they really only had each other. So they remained close even with his deployment to Iraq.

(Santana's POV)

My brother Cristian is scheduled to return home in week in the 16th of October. But I decided I wanted to write him this letter before he got here as motivation I guess to return to me safe, because I need him so very much right now. It's only a week I pray every day he just gets home safe. Gosh I've been crying all summer while gathering up the courage to write this letter to him. I love my brother so much I think he will understand who I am and accept me, but I can't be sure.

Well here goes nothing….

Dear Cristian,

It's San and I miss you so much, I wish you were here right now even though I know you will be home soon. As you know I just started my senior year, unlike you I still don't know what I want to do when I graduate. But I know I'll figure it out soon. I've written you today because I have something to tell you that are extremely important to me. It is a secret I have recently discovered that I need to tell someone, and you are the most important person in my world and I need you to know. Crist I have been thinking about this for almost a year now and it's really been troubling me. For the past few months I've come to realize that I am a lesbian. Crist I know that for sure now and the only person that knows is Brittney my best friend because I love her. We would be together but I have not come out to anyone and she deserves everything and I can't give that to her yet I'm just so scared. You know how mom and dad are; and I just need some support from you. Crist you are my best friend and I just want to know if you're ok with this.

Love Santana,
