Dancing On My Own

Dantana's relationship from Brittany's eyes. After being at MIT for some months and still hurt about Santana's and her break up Brittany decides to take a trip somewhere not knowing that she would see Santana again but is she ready to see her with someone new...

Chapter One: Her Face

The last couple of days were hard for Brittany, she had been studying hard for her exams but couldn't manage to concentrate. She had recently been going through old pictures of her and her friends from McKinley, when she saw her again...Santana.

Brittany stared at her face for what seemed and eternity. she remembered every detail of her former girlfriend and how she made her feel.

Her face was hovering in her head again, distracting her from everything she did.

"Why does this have to happen now?" "Aggg!" The frustration she felt was getting on her nerves. She stopped reading the book she had in front of her. "Maybe I should go out and get some coffee.", she thought.

Brittany grabbed her bag and left for the nearest Coffee Bean. She asked for the usual when something or better yet someone caught her eye... "It can't be..." She turned her way to have a better look and saw this beautiful dark haired girl. "She looks so much like her", she thought almost dropping her coffee in surprise of the remarkable similarities between the girl and Santana. "I have to get a grip on myself", she shook awake from her thoughts bumping straight into her friend Ashley.

"Whoa!" "Watch where your going there sweety" said Ashley.

She was shocked and embarrassed "Sorry Ash. I did see you there"

"It's alright, no harm done. By the way, what were you so distracted on anyway?" Ashley asked curiously, leading Brittany to one of the tables.

"Nothing. I'm just tired of so much studying" she lied, taking a sip of her coffee.

"You're lying!" " I know you better than that Britt, what is it?"

"It's just...I..." She couldn't put her feelings into words.

"It's her, isn't it? You miss her, don't you?" Brittany's eyes began to fill with tears, she couldn't speak. She thought she was over her but it only took a picture to break her again.

"Oh honey, it's ok." Ashley hugged Brittany, while she cried into her arms. "Everything is going to be alright, we've been through this before."

"I'm...so...sorry...I thought...I was over her...but...she...I...miss her...so much...she...broke...my...heart..." Brittany sobbed. Ashely had heard this many times before for many nights. She liked Santana but still couldn't forgive her for breaking Brittany's heart.

"Hon, it's ok." Brittany sobbed even more. "Hey, listen. Why don't we take a trip somewhere to help you get your mind off things?" Ashely had an idea, she wasn't going to take this anymore, she wanted her friend to have closure. "Let me just take care of a few things and we could be on our way by tomorrow, what do you say?"

"Mmm...Ash...I can't...I have exams to take..and..." Brittany was clearly mortified about leaving her studies behind but looked a lot calmer. "But on the other hand I can't even concentrate thinking about her..." And again her eyes stated to water.

"Babe, we'll work it out, ok. Besides, when are your exams?" Ashely asked trying to get Brittany's mind off Santana.

"In two weeks" Brittany's sobs were getting more and more in control.

"Great! We'll just have to get back here in time! I'll help you study. Lets go, what do you say?" Said Ashley trying to convince Brittany again.

"You think it will help?" Asked Brittany.

"Sure it will, trust me." Said Ashely winking and making Brittany crack a smile.

"Thanks Ash and sorry for wetting your shirt." Said Brittany smiling coyly.

"It's fine hon. I had to get it washed anyway, thanks for doing half that part." This time Brittany laughed fully."Well lets get you back home so we can pack and get ready for our trip."

"Ok" Brittany smiled.
