Summary: Santana returns home for her mother's funeral and she discovers a box full of memories. Throughout those memories she remembers why life is worth living. AU
Santana took the following picture, the paper was wrinkled, a sign of past years, but the young woman could always recognize that moment. As if it were yesterday.
**flashback**
It was Halloween in Lima, the streets were paved with decorations, each house was greeting someone with a grinning pumpkin, kids were running everywhere dressed as monsters, vampires, or fairies. Meanwhile at the Lopez house, a 10 years old Santana Lopez was dressing as a pirate, her mother putting the fake parrot she just sewed on her shoulder. The little latina was very agitated, she couldn't wait to go trick or treating the neighbourhood with her friends, Quinn Fabray, Tina Cohen-Chang and of course her best friend Brittany. The two girls had grown fond of each other and one was rarely saw without the other.
The doorbell rang, Mr. Lopez went to answer while Santana ran down the stairs to welcome her friends. Judy Fabray was holding the hand of a little Tinkerbell Quinn, David Cohen-Chang had a little Tina-Bear at his side and lastly Samantha Pierce was pushing a ghost-Brittany in front of her. Santana noticed that Mrs. Pierce had purple circles under her eyes and that she left just after her arrival. Mr. And Mrs. Lopez greeted everybody in the living room and Elena couldn't but feel sorry for the small Brittany. Her costume was just a white sheet with badly-made holes for eyes and mouth whereas Quinn's costume was a beautiful green dress with wings attached in her back and Tina had a very cute costume showing her little head under a puffy bear head.
"So girls, ready for a funny nigth?" asked Miguel Lopez
"We will have lots of candies Mr. Lopez!" said Quinn enthousiastly
"I'm sure of that Quinny but don't forget: the more candies you eat, the more cavities you get!" Judy Fabray gave a bright smile showing her perfect teeth to prove her point.
The group started to go to the neighbourhood and was having fun trick or treating every house they could where people would fake a terrified reaction before giving lots of candies with a big smile. But the events of the night turned badly when the girls and their parents met the group of Finn Hudson, Noah Puckerman, Dave Karofsky and Azimio Adams.
"Your costume sucks!" said Noah pointing Brittany
"Well, you suck!" yelled Santana
"Santana! Don't use that word!"
"But mom, he said it first..."
"I don't want to know, I just don't want you to use that kind of language mija, understood?"
Santana nodded.
The little group continued the candy quest but Brittany was staying behind looking at her shoes. Elena told to her daughter "Go talk to her honey."
"Hey Britt, are you okay? I hope Noah didn't make you feel sad because he is stupid!"
"He was right Santana, my costume is bad..."
"I find you awesome Britt!"
"You're nice, but all your costumes are much better, my mom just didn't want to help me find one, so I did it myself"
There was a break where Santana didn't know what to say, until Brittany started to speak again
"My mom doesn't love me" said the tiny girl her voice breaking, "And my dad is never there."
"I'm sure she loves you, but she looked very tired maybe she's too tired to show it to you?"
"No, she just sleeps on the couch all day long, she doesn't care about me like your mom cares about you..."
"But I care about you Britt, I'll never let anything happen to you! You're my best friend forever"
Santana saw the red eyes under the ghost costumes raise to meet her own and she could feel all the pain her friend was bearing. Then she did what she thought could comfort her friend, she went to kiss her cheek and when she did, she saw a blue light coming from afar. She noticed that her mom was taking a picture of them so she smiled to her and added to her friend: "We'll stay together forever Brittany, I promise I'll care about you forever!".
**End of flashback**
Santana looked at the picture of a little pirate girl kissing her friend's cheek over a white sheet, and she knew she broke the promise she made 18 years ago. She had let Brittany go, she stopped caring about her after... She couldn't even think about that day. She remembered how fun was the end of that Halloween night, Quinn and Tina were trick or treating every house on their path, Judy Fabray was horrified by all the candies her daughter was accumulating but more importantly, Brittany was smiling again, and for Santana that was the most beautiful event of the night. Santana realized that in 4 years of marriage with Eric she never been as happy as she was that night.
