Santana Lopez, a college student with good prospects, a bright future ahead of her, her parents love her and she has lots of great friends old and new. Yet she isn't happy, she misses her ex-girlfriend and feels like she never left high school behind whilst she is doing a cheerleading course. She is 18 and wants to explore the world, get new jobs make new mistakes, maybe not in love but in life.
'Oh my God, how much work can there be, how do they get so much theory into cheerleading? I bet Brit is doing something more interesting, I wonder what she is doing. No, I can't keep thinking about her, I broke up with her, it was sensible and mature, just about my only mature decision recently. It was my worst one two. God I miss her, I wish I could be there with her or her here so I could hold her hand, hug her, smell her, tell her I love her' Santana thought to herself attempting now to fight back tears, she was in the library studying and she never liked anyone to see her cry unless it was purposely for attention, not even Brittany.
That's when it came to her, It didn't matter what she was doing with her life as long as she was happy, so she would go back to McKinley, get back with Brittany and take whatever work she could until Brittany graduated then they would both move to New York together or stay in Lima if that's what Brit wanted. She wanted to do this because that's what would make her happier than anything and a good job was for luxuries and Brit was the only luxury Santana needed.
This was it she was at the railway station, she had a ticket for her destination, her ticket to get her to Brit and she had managed to fit her whole life in one suit case after dropping out of college. She was so excited she could start her life, be truly happy, she would be able to feel alive again, only like she did when with Brittany. For now she would travel with her thoughts and wait. Every minute, every second that would go by until that end of school bell when she would surprise Brittany was like waiting to be let into heaven. This was the longest yet shortest train ride of Santana's life she couldn't wait to be back together with the girl she loved.
Finally she was there back at McKinley, 1 minute to the bell she climbed up the steps remembering all the happy memories they had shared here. She walked the halls and came to Brittany's locker, it was then the bell rang and she waited as streams of students walked pasted waiting to leave, trying to get out as quickly as they could and start their weekend, she still couldn't see Brittany yet but she waited and waited the corridors of McKinley were now silent, but she decided to wait, after a few minutes she heard two voices, one was Brits, finally she was there and the other, Trouty Mouth? What was he doing there? 'Come on Sam, it's supposed to be our date night' she heard Brittany say, she was confused by this date night? What? Has she moved on? And worse not even told her? 'Well I'm supposed to study, but maybe I can come over for a while' she heard Sam reply. Come over? Come over? To Brit's house? In Brit's bedroom? By this point Santana was already fighting back streams of tears she had realised what was going on and didn't want to hear anymore, she turned the corner and ran to get as far away in floods of tears, she felt like she had done this before but somehow this was worse, she wasn't losing the cover she hid behind she was losing the girl she had loved for years. 'San, Santana? wait' she heard a voice behind her but she didn't want to listen not then, she had given up her future for Brittany, she didn't know what she would do now but she couldn't show her weakness.
