I Missed You
A/N - This is my first time writting a fic, but I've really loved Brittana ever since day one and I just thought I'd write down a version of their stroy I would have liked to see. I don't have a Beta so if there are any mistakes I'm sorry, I try to read it over but I may have missed a few things.
Summary - Santana and Brittany meet and quickly become best friends, but eventually distance does affect their friendship as they are very young and it is difficult to stay close. What happens when they are reunited a couple years later when they are a little older and starting high school? Will they be able to rebuild that friendship they once had? Or will other feelings come into play aswell?
This story will follow some of the events and storylines that happend in Glee but a lot of it will just be me and what I would like to have seen.
This first chapter is pretty short but the more chapters I post will be longer, I promise.
I do not own Glee or any of it's characters, obviously.
It was Santana's first day starting gymnastics class and she didn't know anyone in the class. She was more nervous than excited because she was never very good with friends at school but she was hoping maybe things could be different here.
As she entered the gymnastics hall with her mother she looked over to 11 other girls all standing in the room with their mothers. Santana looked over all the girls her age that she assumed would be in the same class as as she was starting and her eyes were imediatley drawn to a blonde girl with the bluest eyes she had ever seen. The blonde girl bounced on the spot full of energy and excitment to be starting gymnastics class and Santana could not help but be intrigued by the young blonde girl.
Santana is brought out of her gaze as a tall blonde women comes into the room and anounces for the parents to say goodbye and tells the girls to form a circle in the middle of the floor. As soon as the young girls say goodbye to their parents they form the cirlce that the caoch asked and Santana finds herslelf sitting opposite to the blonde girl with the amazingly blue eyes.
Santana is once again brought out of her staring haze by the coach as she tells the girls that they are going to go around the circle and each girl must tell everyone their name, where they are from and at least one interesting thing about them. Santana is first to go and she gives out a huff as she stands up from her seated position.
"I'm Santana, I'm from Lima, Ohio and I have an annoying older brother."
As soon as Santana is finished speaking she sits back down and can't help but glance back in the direction of the blonde girl that intrigues her so much, but this time the girl is staring back and gives Santana a cute smile then mouths the word 'hi' whilst waving at her, Santana can't help but blush under the other girls stare but she is thankful for her dark skin tone as it hides the growing heat in her cheeks.
Each girl in the circle stands and introduces themsleves and it finally comes round to the blonde girl, which she enthusiastically jumps to her feet planting them firmly on the ground.
"Hi guys, my name is Brittany,"
'Brittany' Santana thinks.
"I'm from Lima, Ohio, I love to dance and I have an awesome cat called Lord Tubbington."
The smile on Brittany's face doesn't leave the whole time she is speaking and she then plants herself back on the floor and crosses her legs in to a basket. Santana smiles at Brittany as the rest of the girls intorduce themselves and for some reason can't bring herself to look away from the blonde.
When the last girl finishes introducing herself the coach springs to her feet and clears her throat to get the girls' attention.
"Okay girls, lovely to meet you all, I'm coach Sue"
Two other other women walk up behind Sue and stand on either side of her.
"and this is Lynn and Deonn, we are your coaches, you guys are going to be split into 3 groups of 4, so when I call your name come and sit with the caoch you have been assigned to."
Sue brings out a list of names of the girls that will be in her group and the first name she calls out is 'Brittany', Brittany skips over to behind Sue and sits there waiting for others to join her. Santana sits while two other names get called out to be in Sue's group and silently hopes that her name will be called next, she's not quite sure why but she just has this urge telling herself she wants to know this blonde stranger.
Much to Santana's pleasure her name is called out and she jumps up rather excitedly and out of character, she walks over to behind Sue, she plants herself on the ground behind Brittany and waits while the other caoches call out who will be in their groups.
Once each group is formed, the caoches excuse themselves to have a chat leaving the girls to introduce themselves properly to one another.
Santana remains silent sitting behind the 3 other girls in her group. She looks up from staring at the floor and is startled to see the smiling blonde sitting infront of her staring back at her.
"Hi, Santana right?" Brittany says with a large grin.
Santana can feel the corners of her mouth begin to turn and doesn't understand why this stranger has this affect on her, she tries to stop the large grin that approaches and gives a shy nod.
"That's a cool name, I'm Birttany." She says still holding a hard stare into Santana's eyes whilst wearing a huge grin.
Santana gives off a slight chuckle and looks up into the deep blues staring into her eyes and nods her head slightly.
"Yeah, I know." Santana says through her slight giggles and can't pull her stare away from Brittany's gorgous blue eyes.
Brittany just gives Santana a confuesed look before her eyebrows raise and nods in realisation that she had already introduced herself to the whole class while muttering 'oh yeah' under her breathe.
The coaches return back to the three groups of girls and tell them to get into pairs and begin stretching so they can move on to do some conditioning.
Brittany jumps up from sitting infront of Santana and looks down at her as she is still sitting firmly on the floor. Brittany smiles at her and reaches her arm out offering Santana her hand. Santana looks at the hand that is stretched out to her for a moment then looks back to those blue orbs staring into her own.
"Come on, lets stretch." Brittany says with a straight face while glancing at her own hand then back to Santana. All Santana does is give Brittany a confused look that doesnt seem to faze Brittany as she just remains standing offering Santana her hand, so Santana hesitantly reaches her own hand out and takes Brittany's. The blonde pulls her to her feet with a huge grin and does not let go of her hand. They remain hand in hand as Brittany leads them to an unoccupied spot on the floor so they can stretch together.
Santana is unsure how she feels about holding hands with a girl she doesn't even know but can't bring herself to break the physical connection they have as they make their way across the floor.
As the two girls stretch together they carry on talking and Santana soon realises that she and this blonde are very different. She thinks about how Brittany was so confident when talking to Santana and she didn't really care about saying the wrong thing. She notices how straight-forward Brittany can be and Santana can't help but feel intrigued towards the other girl.
Santana never really had many friends because people generally didn't get a good vibe from her and tended to stay away, but this blonde had just immediatley started talking to her, took her hand and held it while wanting to spend more time with her. Someone wanting to spend time and talk to Santana was very new to her but she couldn't help but have a good feeling about it.
As the months went on in gymnastics class Brittany and Santana grew closer and closer. Each class they always paired up together and eventually they started to ask their parents if they could hang out togther outside of gymnastics too, seen as they both lived in Lima it wasn't much of an ask, so their parents both agreed to it.
As the years went on, they both remained in the same gymnastics class but were growing to dislike it as their coach began to become more strict and mean the older they got. The two girls grew very close and were each others best friends even though they weren't in the same school, they were able to see each other at gymnastics and had sleepovers with each other. Eventually as time went on both began to hate their gymnastics coach and the older they got the more they realised how unfair the coach was being, at one point the only reason Santana and Brittany stayed in the gymnastics class was to see each other. The girls decided that they had had enough and would quit the class, they did however try to stay as close as they were but they found it difficult when they didn't have gymnastics keeping them as close.
As more time went on the girls found it too dificult being in different schools and still being very young to stay as close as they once were, so they just lost contact to one another. Both girls were upset about it as they would never forget the strong bond they once had and they both hoped that maybe one day they would reuniye when they are older and able to stay bestfriends.
