Part of my mass going over my older stories to fix mistakes and such.

Always Known

"You tell her, too? Everyone's gonna know now-because of you!"

"The whole school already knows. And you know what, they don't care!"

"Not just the school, you idiot! EVERYONE!"

"What are you talking ab-"

She slaps him so hard that everyone thought it's the bell. I'm Santana freakin' Lopez HBIC and I've been outed to everyone by Frankenteen.

Everyone's mouths are open gasping in shock. Partly from the slap, but also from what it confirms. While there have been rumors since halfway through last year about Brittany and Santana being together though no one really took this rumor seriously. Most thought it was just one of the Cheerios who had been ridden hard by Santana one practice at the beginning of the year attempting to get back at her.

Quinn is the only one who is not surprised at all by either event apart from Brittany.

She has been friends with them since kindergarten. If it weren't for Santana she never would have befriended Brittany. Santana and her had become friends simply because they both saw themselves as better than everyone else. Brittany, on the other hand is a weird one with her obsession with unicorns, rainbows, and ducks. Quinn didn't understand why Santana had befriended the weird blonde, but then again the Latina's actions didn't always make sense.

Through elementary and middle school the three girls had become close friends being called the Unholy Trinity. At first she hadn't noticed that Santana and Brittany were closer. They'd spend almost every weekend in elementary over at each other's houses. It was in fifth grade that she noticed how close the other two really were.

Puck had stole Brittany's unicorn backpack threatening to throw it in a tree. The blonde was crying and pleading with him not to when out of nowhere a fiery Latina came running up and kneed him in the gut. She picked up the bag, brushed it off and handed it to the blonde. She flashed her a smile that Quinn had never seen before turning on Puck.

"Don't ever fucking pick up Britt again or I'll rip your dick off. Got it." Santana spat.

"Well maybe if she wasn't so stupid-" Puck began, but before he could finish she was attacking.

This was nothing new to Quinn; Santana's temper was always getting her in trouble. Brittany who had started to cry again put a hand on Santana's arm. Quinn had thought that the fiery Latina would hurt Britt, but instead she seemed to calm down and hug Brittany.

That was the day that Quinn knew she would be the third wheel in the friendship not that she minded she was Quinn Fabray and she didn't need anyone. Through middle school Santana got in tons of fights protecting Brittany from people that teased her and Brittany would always keep the Latina from getting too angry and seriously injuring someone. Quinn noticed the way Santana lit up around Brittany, how the dancer could draw the Latina out of her darkest of moods and how Santana was the only who understood what Brittany was saying treating her with respect which was something Santana didn't even do with her. This slightly bugged her that she couldn't be that close with either one of them.

She remembered the first day of high school when all three girls decided to join the Cheerios. Santana and herself because they wanted to be popular and Brittany because she loved to dance, she had been dancing since she was two. All three had made the team easily. They were the last ones in the locker room. She had just left when she turned around remembering that she had left her jacket. Through the cracked door she saw the dancers arms wrapped around Santana's neck and her legs around the Latina's waist. The Latina's arms were under the dancer's butt and their lips were locked.

She ran out of the school, stopping to take a deep breath. What had she just seen. Santana and Brittany were together, together, together. All the sudden everything clicked in her head about how they acted around each other.

She never told anyone what she knew not wanting to upset her two friends or ruin their lives. She saw them together many more times after that.

Santana stands frozen for a moment before running out of the auditorium.

Everyone turns to look at Brittany, whose face has gone ashen white.

Finn finally breaks the silence. "What. The. Fuck." he is holding his throbbing face.

Rachel gets up to look at his face. It is beat red where Santana had slapped it, but other than that it seems fine.

"Okay, what just happened?" Kurt asks baffled by what just happened.

Brittany has unfamiliar feeling in herself, bubbling up. She has been upset before, but this is different. It is something that confuses her. She wishes that Santana was here to explain it to her. Thinking of Santana she pulls out her phone to text her only to see a text from her.

To: Britt I'll be waiting at my car

She quickly texts back.

To: San I'll be there in five

"Did Santana just come out?" Sam asks.

"I don't know ask Britt." Kurt says still shocked and baffled.

"Yeah, Brittany what's up with Santana? Why did she hit Finn?" Rachel asks.

Everyone looks at Brittany waiting for a response. They all figure that since she is Santana's best friend she will know.

"Well, whatever it was I'm sure she didn't really have a good reason. She probably just felt like it, typical Santana." Artie says scowling.

Brittany finally overwhelmed from the anger boiling up inside of her lets it spill out.

"Of course you all think its San's fault. None of you can see pass her bitchiness that she's really just scared. Cause Finn just outed her to the whole freakin' state. It's not her fault that Finn is an idiot who thinks he can get away with that unpunished." Brittany screams, scaring everyone in the room including herself. No one has ever seen her like this. The normally bubbly, happy, sometimes confused girl looks more like her apparent girlfriend Santana at the moment.

"I didn't mean it, she was insulting me and I had to say something." Finn says trying to defend himself. "Wait, what?"

"So you told her that I didn't love her cause I love her more than anything." Brittany yells right in his face getting even more pissed.

All of the glee clubs members stare at her in shock, mouths hung open. Brittany is actually making sense for once.

"None of you guys know what you're talking about. So just leave Santana alone as you." Brittany shouts pointing at Finn. "Outed her and now it's going to air on a commercial. To top it all off you were just making it up, you didn't even know it was true. You spread a fucking very personal rumor just because she teased you." she shouts, stomping off out of the auditorium to pissed to remain there any longer or she'll lose it and slap him too.

"Finn you accidently outed Santana!" Kurt shouts getting over the shock of Satan being a lesbian first before the anger towards his step-brother starts to build.

"I didn't mean to I didn't even know. Did she have to slap me so hard?" Finn says.

"I agree with Finn." Rachel says still inspecting his face never one to feel bad for Santana.

"Really!" Quinn shouts she has gotten fed up with their ignorance. "You can't honestly tell me that you didn't know the two of them were together. They've been in love with each other for years. I mean come on Santana the bitchiest bitch has never once been mean to Brittany."

"You know it kind of makes sense. They have always been really touchy feely with each other." Puck says lazily thinking it would be hot to see them go at it.

"Yeah, but she still didn't have to slap Finn." Blaine agrees always looking for a peaceful solution to any problems.

"Oh my God, you guys this is Santana who is now going to be outed. Finn you need to apologize." Quinn demands before leaving to look for Brittany. She too needed to get out of there as she just doesn't understand them at all as they stood up for Kurt when he was being bullied for being gay so why not Santana.

To: Britt why are you?

To: Q just leave us alone for now Sanny might lose it if she sees you.

She does a double take. Sanny oh I'm never letting Santana live this one down. I bet they are in Santana's car.

She quickly walks down the main hallway and out the doors. Scanning the parking lot she sees Santana's black convertible parked in the back corner. Walking over to the car she doesn't see any signs of either girl. She does hear light sobbing as she goes around the car. Sitting in front of her is Santana crying into Brittany's shoulder both girls have their arms wrapped tightly around each other. The dancer whispering comforting words into the Latina's ear.

"I'm sorry about what happened." Quinn says breaking the silence. Both girls look up to find their former? best friend slightly smiling at them. They hadn't been close since the whole fiasco that was their sophomore year.

"What are you doing here?" spits Santana.

"S, Q's just trying to be nice." Brittany calmly says rubbing the Latina's back.

"Why would she?" Santana mumbles into the dancer's chest.

"Listen S, I've known about you and B for a long time now. Since I haven't told anyone I would have to say that I'm being extraordinarily nice. So if you're still going to be a bitch to me then I'll leave." Quinn practically shouts at the Latina.

She is just about ready to turn and head back when someone grabs her arm swinging her back around. She is met by the crystal blue eyes of Brittany. They are brimming with tears as she collects Quinn in a bear hug.

"Thanks," the dancer whispers into Quinn's ear.

"Your welcome, B." Quinn whispers back as the dancer releases her.

Santana who has gotten up shuffles over. "Um-I, I just-want to say," the Latina begins looking over at the dancer who gives her an encouraging smile. "I'm sorry." she blurts out.

"Wow this is a first Santana Lopez apologizing." Quinn says bemused.

"Yeah well don't get use to it." the Latina retorts. "Ow, B was that necessary?" she groans rubbing the left side of her rib cage.

"Well, you left me no choice." the dancer giggles as Santana pulls her into a kiss. She deepens the kiss as the dancer moans allowing the Latina's tongue access.

"Gross, this is not what I need to see save it for later you two." Quinn says turning away.

"You know you want to watch Q." Santana smirks as Brittany giggles next to her. Her arms still around the Latina's neck.

"Come on B, let's get out of here." Santana whispers in her husky sexy voice. "Hope you don't mind Q, but I need some alone time with Britt." she says turning to the other girl with a smirk on her face.

"Oh don't mind me I don't want to be the one to come between you S and your girl." Quinn laughs heading back to the school.

"Does this mean I get sweet lady kisses?" Brittany asks as Santana drags her into the car.

"Of course B anything you want, but first we need to talk." Santana tells her starting the car.

Brittany looks a little confused at her. They never talked about things when they were together. She smiles absent mindedly knowing that Santana is at least feeling a little better now and when they get to her house, Brittany intends to make her forget everything.
