"Brittany…what's wrong?" asked Santana, who was genuinely worried about her blonde friend.
"He's here…San…he's here…" Brittany sobbed.
"Who's here?" Santana asked, standing behind her friend in the stall.
"Him…I'm gonna…" Brittany couldn't even finish her sentence before she had vomited all over the toilet.
When she saw some other girls come into the bathroom, she turned around with her best HBIC glare and told them to get out. After that, Santana rubbed Brittany's back and held her hair up and made sure she was okay, and then she asked again, "Brittany, is this about that time at Cheerios camp where you always say it was an alien invasion? A few tears slid down Brittany's cheek and she nodded.
"Sweetie, you have to tell someone…"
Brittany turned around, walked over to the sink, washed her face and looked in the mirror. Then she replied, "I just told you…besides…I don't even know who he is…I just know his voice and I heard it today…and besides, I can't…Santana, I can't…he knows who I am and now he goes here and what if he finds me and gets me again? Santana, I can't go through that…"
Santana immediately wrapped her best friend in a hug and said, "It won't. No one is going to hurt you, I promise. I won't let them."
"You can't promise that. I was at cheer camp. Santana, I'm never going to be normal again."
"Normal's overrated anyway and you are special and amazing just the way you are."
Santana wrapped her arms around Brittany again and after a few more minutes, she said, "If you hear his voice at all, you come tell me, okay?"
"Okay, Santana, I will, I promise…"
With that, they let go, linked pinkies, and walked to their next class. Classes flew by for the rest of the day until it was time for Glee club. When Brittany and Santana arrived in Glee, pinkies interlocked, they sat next to each other in the back row. They sat there until Mr. Schuster arrived with somebody behind him. Mr. Schuester walked in and said, "Everybody welcome our new member, Jesse St. James."
"Hello everyone, I am Jesse, and don't worry, I will give you each an autograph of me for when I am famous."
Santana rolled her eyes at this new dude while Brittany visibly gulped. Then, Brittany put her head on Santana's shoulders and tried to hide from the rest of the world during this hour, which seemed to go by slower than anything had in her entire life. Once Glee was over, she immediately ran out and sat in Santana's car until her best friend arrived there.
Once Santana got to the car, she saw how distressed the blonde was and immediately drove to her house. She didn't say anything, she just walked Brittany up to her room and lay on the bed with her for a little while. Knowing that she had somebody who cared about her as much as Santana did was enough for Brittany to feel at peace, if only for the night.
