A lot of people don't know it but under that badass exterior, Santana Lopez is scared. Not just of the talks or the looks, but of the nightmares she has every night about life after her parents disown her, which they are totally going to do after they find out. Most nights she doesn't sleep because walking around like a zombie all day is better than waking up screaming in the middle of the night with tears streaming down her face.
The only reason she hasn't gone crazy yet is Brittany.
See there's two ways she can sleep through the night: wrapped up n Brittany's UDA hoodie from freshman year with the blonde's scent enveloping her, or with Brittany spooning her, the soft puffs of her breath on the back of Santana's neck keeping her grounded.
Although on those nights she doesn't mind waking up in the middle of the night. Because her reality is finally better than even the best dreams.
