Summary: Brittany is the only one that knows the soft caring side to Santana. She wants to prove to the glee club what Santana is really like. She uses songs Santana has sung on her phone to prove her point. Mainly about Santana and Brittany.
Need to know: Things from my story "Is It All Over." The story takes place before the tribute. It show how they chose the songs. You don't have to read it to read this but you don't have to read it.
Brittany slowly walked to the choir room with Santana by her side.
"Hey San."
"Yeah Britt."
"Why do you only act soft and nice around me?"
"I don't know. Why?"
"I just want the glee club to see the real you."
"You're right they should see the real me."
"How can we show them though. I don't have any ideas."
"Do you have the songs I send you and the ones you recorded?"
"Yeah I would never get rid of any of them. Why?"
"Well, tell the story about some of them."
"You're right, but what about the sad ones. You know the shooting and 'the accident'."
"We can play those. I might end end up leaving though. Just don't tell them about 'the accident'."
Santana and Brittany walk to the choir room and walk over to Mr. Shue.
"Hey."
"Yeah girls."
"I have an idea. I want to play some things on my phone to show the glee club Santana's soft caring side."
"Is Santana okay with this?" He said directing his question at Santana with a pointed glare.
"Yeah it's fine. I helped her come up with the idea on how to show them."
"Okay. What's the idea?"
"When Brittany broke up with Artie I sang a song to her to show her how I felt I did the same thing many times after that. She has some about the shooting to. We want to play some and tell them the stories."
"Okay great idea. I will tell them. Everybody!"
"Yeah Mr. Shue."
"Brittany wants to play some things for you and tell a few stories."
"What are they about?"
"Santana's soft side."
"What soft side?" They say with a laugh.
"That's why they want to do this. They think you guys deserve to know, and maybe we can find some songs for the tribute."
"Okay ."
"Brittany want to start."
"The songs go back to when Artie and I broke up when he called me is what she sang to me later that week. I recorded it.
The song then started to play.
For you, there'll be no more crying, For you, the sun will be shining,
And I feel that when I'm with you, It's alright,
I know it's right To you, I'll give the world to you, I'll never be cold
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you, It's alright, I know it's right.
And the songbirds are singing, Like they know the score,
And I love you, I love you, I love you, Like never before.
Ohhhhhhh, Ohhhhha
And I wish you all the love in the world,
But most of all, I wish it from myself.
And the songbirds keep singing,
Like they know the score,
And I love you, I love you, I love you,
Like never before, like never before.
"Well that doesn't show much."
"Okay well the next one is after the crap with Finn in the hallway."
"Okay play it." Finn said looking down at his feet.
Skies are crying, I am watching
Catching tear drops in my hands
Only silence as it's ending
Like we never had a chance
Do you have to make me feel like
There's nothing left of me?
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
As the smoke clears, I awaken
And untangle you from me
Would it make you feel better
To watch me while I bleed?
All my windows still are broken
But I'm standing on my feet
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
Go run, run, run
I'm gonna stay right here,
Watch you disappear
Yeah, oh
Go run, run, run
Yeah, it's a long way down
But I am closer to the clouds up here
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Oh Oh
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
(Like a skyscraper)
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
"Okay this is getting better."
"Okay do you guys see just a little bit?"
"Not really."
"Okay the next one is after we had a fight and we were broken up for about a week then a thing happened. We got back together without anyone noticing anything."
"WAIT! When did you guys ever brake up?"
"A little while after the Finn crap."
"What was the thing that happened?"
"I can't tell you."
"Okay. Play it."
Did you forget
That I was even alive
Did you forget
Everything we ever had
Did you forget
Did you forget
About me
Did you regret
Ever standing by my side
Did you forget
What we were feeling inside
Now I'm left to forget
About us
But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it
So now I guess
This is where we have to stand
Did you regret
Ever holding my hand
Never again
Please don't forget
Don't forget
We had it all
We were just about to fall
Even more in love
Than we were before
I won't forget
I won't forget
About us
But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it
Somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it
At all
And at last
All the pictures have been burned
And all the past
Is just a lesson that we've learned
I won't forget
Please don't forget us
But somewhere we went wrong
Our love is like a song
But you won't sing along
You've forgotten
About us
"Okay I still don't get it."
"Okay. You guys are stupider than me."
"Well what's the next song?"
"This one everybody will be a little sensitive to."
"Okay what's the story?"
"After all the crap that happened in this room and Santana got sent home from the hospital she sent me this."
Take a breath,Take it deep.
'Calm yourself', He says to me If you play, you play for keeps.
Take the gun and count to three.
Im sweating now, Moving slow, No time to think.
My turn to go
And you can see my heart beating You can see it through my chest.
Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving.
I know that I must pass this test
So, just pull the trigger
Say a prayer to yourself
He says 'close your eyes, sometimes it helps'
And then I get a scary thought
That he's here - means he's never lost
And you can see my heart beating.
No, You can see it through my chest.
Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving Know that I must pass this test
So, just pull my trigger
As my life flashes before my eyes
I'm wondering will I ever see another sunrise?
So many won't get the chance to say good-bye
But it's too late to think of the value of my life
And you can see my heart beating.
No, You can see it through my chest.
Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving no know that I must pass this test.
You can see my heart beating.
Oh, You can see it through my chest.
I'm terrified but I'm not leaving no know that I must pass this test.
So, just pull the trigger
[sound of taking a breath]
[sound of pulling the trigger. Gun shot]
"Okay that was sad. I see a little now." Some of the glee club members say in tears.
"There is two more about after the shooting."
"Play them."
"One is just her the other I am in and we switch back and forth. They were all her idea though."
"Okay go."
Some things we don't talk about
Rather do without
And just hold the smile
Falling in and out of love
Ashamed and proud of
Together all the while
You can never say never
While we don't know when
But time and time again
Younger now than we were before
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Picture, you're the queen of everything
As far as the eye can see
Under your command
I will be your guardian
When all is crumbling
To steady your hand
You can never say never
While we don't know when
Time, time, time again
Younger now than we were before
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
We're pulling apart and coming together again and again
We're growing apart but we pull it together, pull it together, together again
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
"There is the first one."
Do you dream that the world will know your name?
So tell me your name
Do you care about all the little things
or anything at all?
I wanna feel, all the chemicals inside
I wanna feel
I wanna sunburn, just to know that I'm alive
To know I'm alive
Brittany joins her for the chorus.
Don't tell me if I'm dying
'Cause I don't wanna know
If I can't see the sun, maybe I should go
Don't wake me 'cause I'm dreaming
Of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know
Never leaves too soon
Santana's voice fades and Brittany takes the next verse.
Do you believe, in the day that you were born
Tell me do you believe?
Do you know, that everyday's the first
Of the rest of your life?
They both take the chorus again.
Don't tell me if I'm dying
'Cause I don't wanna know
If I can't see the sun
Maybe I should go
Don't wake me 'cause I'm dreaming
Of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know
Never leaves too soon.
Brittany sings the next verse.
This is to one last day in the shadows
And to know a brother's love
This is to New York City angels
And the rivers of our blood
This is to all of us
To all of us
They both take the chorus again.
Don't tell me if I'm dying
'Cause I don't wanna know
If I can't see the sun
Maybe I should go
Don't wake me 'cause I'm dreaming
Of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know never leaves too soon
Santana sings the next verse.
You can tell me all your thoughts
About the stars that fill polluted skies
And show me where you run to
When no one's left to take your side
But don't tell me where the road ends
'Cause I just don't wanna know
No I don't wanna know
They both sing the last two lines.
Don't tell me if I'm dying
Don't tell me if I'm dying
Now the glee club was in tears thinking about what they went through, and how hard everything was for Santana after her surgery. She even passed out walking into this room.
"Do you get it now?"
"I think I need two more examples."
"Okay I only have two more I am allowed to show you all."
"Okay what's the story on this song?"
"This was after the Artie thing too. Like 'Songbird'."
And who would have thought
That a cutie pie just like you
Would have anything to do
With a smelly dude like me
I find it hard to believe
And who would have thought
That you ever would have
Kissed my cheek
In your backyard
on your trampoline that night
I never put up a fight
And I know that you're all shook up
From a terrible relationship
He broke your heart
Yeah, he tore you into pieces
But I promise you dear
I'll never touch you like he did
So baby, please take my hand
And you'll never be alone again
And every single time I look in to your eyes
I see a little bit more sunshine
I feel a little bit more like me
Instead of who I turned out to be
I wouldn't trade it for a thing
Could I call you my baby?
And I know that you're all shook up
From a terrible relationship
He broke your heart
Yeah, he tore you into pieces
But I promise you dear
I'll never touch you like he did
So baby, please take my hand
And you'll never be alone again
Cause I know he broke your heart
But I'll love you 'til the end
So baby, please take my hand
And you'll never be alone again
So baby, please take my hand
And you'll never be alone again
So baby, please take my hand
And you'll never be alone again
"Okay I understand that one. What's the last one?"
"This one was just a random song she sent me after we officially started dating and were out."
"Okay play it."
The slightest words you said
Have all gone to my head
I hear angels sing in your voice
When you pull me close
Feelings I've never known
They mean everything
And leave me no choice
Light on my heart, light on my feet
Light in your eyes I can't even speak
Do you even know how you make me weak
I'm a lightweight
Better be careful what you say
With every word I'm blown away
You're in control of my heart
I'm a lightweight
Easy to fall, easy to break
With every move my whole world shakes
Keep me from falling apart
Make a promise, please
You'll always be in reach
Just in case I need
You're there when I call
This is all so new
Seems too good to be true
Could this really be
A safe place to fall
Light on my heart, light on my feet
Light in your eyes I can't even speak
Do you even know how you make me weak, oh whoa?
I'm a lightweight
Better be careful what you say
With every word I'm blown away
You're in control of my heart
I'm a lightweight
Easy to fall, easy to break
With every move my whole world shakes
Keep me from falling apart
Keep me from falling down
Drowned in your love
It's almost all too much
Handle with care
Say you'll be there
Oh, I'm a lightweight
Better be careful what you say
With every word I'm blown away
You're in control of my heart
I'm a lightweight
Easy to fall, easy to break
With every move my whole world shakes
Keep me from falling apart
Keep me from falling apart
Keep me from falling apart, oh
Falling apart
"Okay I see it all now."
"Well do you understand now?"
"Yeah I do. I think we all do. I also think we have two songs for you two to sing for the tribute." Mr. Shue said.
"What two?"
"I want Santana to sing 'Never Say Never' by The Fray and Brittany and her to sing 'Angels On The Moon' by Thriving Ivory together."
"Santana do you think you can do it? I know it was hard for you to sing those songs." Brittany said in a soft caring voice.
"I don't know. I think I can. I might freak out a little before, but I think I can do it."
"Good. We still need one more song for the tribute though."
"I think we should sing 'Russian Roulette'. It shows some of what we all went through during the shooting."
"Good idea. There are our songs for the tribute. I also think we all think about Santana in a new way now?"
"Yeah I think we all do."
AN:The story 'Don't Forget' Is a spin off on why the song was sent to Brittany from Santana. Why she can't tell them the whole story and what happened.
