Brittany slowly shut the front door as she watched Santana disappear into the darkness. She understood why Santana had to leave, it was a lot to process and it didn't help that she had no warning. Brittany took a deep breath as she knew she had to face Sam now. She turned on her heels and faced her boyfriend. Sam was about to open his mouth to speak when Brittany motioned for them to go into her bedroom. Luckily her parents were so engrossed in their television program they had fail to hear the commotion that had just taken place.
Brittany marched into her room and sat straight down on her bed, she rubbed her head which was now pounding with all the emotions she was currently feeling. Sam walked in and shut the door softly. He leaned against it waiting for Brittany to say something.
"I'm sorry" Brittany said, looking into Sam's big eyes.
Sam titled his beautiful mouth. "Are you sorry you didn't tell me that Santana didn't know, or are you sorry you didn't tell Santana were dating?"
Brittany shot to her feet, suddenly frustrated with the whole situation. "I'm sorry to both of you!" she said raising her tone. "It wasn't fair to you to put you in that situation and it really wasn't fair to San to let her come here not knowing what was going on".
"Britt" Sam said trying to stop Brittany from pacing. "Look, it's okay….well I mean, I'm okay anyways. I wish you had mentioned it to me but I get that you hadn't found the right time to tell her about us". Brittany stopped moving and stood in front of her boyfriend with her head lowered. Sam moved his hands to Brittany's shoulders. "It's alright Britt" he said forcing a smile. "At least it's all out now". He pulled Brittany into a hug.
Brittany knew he was saying this to try and make her feel better but it wasn't working. Brittany never wanted to hurt Santana and maybe that was why she hadn't been able to tell her about Sam. But now, with all of this, Santana was sure to be in pain and there was nothing Brittany could do to take that away. The truth was, Brittany still loved Santana, she always had, but it hurt so much to have her away all the time, she had to try and let go. She had locked her heart away, locked up all those feelings for Santana so she didn't have to feel them every day, every minute and cry because she missed her so much.
Sam pulled out of the hug and looked Brittany in her blue eyes. "What were you guys talking about for so long before I got there anyways?" Sam questioned.
Brittany hesitated, Sam hadn't seen the almost kiss. "Nothing, she just….just came to say hi, you know, let me know she was in town".
"Oh, okay cool!" Sam smiled. "You ready to watch Avatar?" he said as he jumped on Brittany's bed like an excited little boy. That was one of the things Brittany was drawn to with Sam, his joy. Nothing ever fazed him; he believed people at their word and didn't question or look for the negative. Most people called that naive, but after all the sadness that had surrounded Brittany; it was exactly what she needed.
Brittany sat on her bed with the blonde haired boy, and as the film started her thoughts drifted off. She replayed the night's conversations over and over again in her mind, wishing and praying that it was all just a bad dream.
