The newly single Santana was able to avoid basically everyone until Monday afternoon. She had been in one class with Sam and two with Brittany, but was able to avoid them by seeming concentrated on her work. That was until Glee club, she was the first to arrive so she quietly sat in the of the choir room. She knew Sam always sat in the front row, in order to be with his teammates and since Artie was in a wheelchair, he and Brittany sat in the very front as well.

Everything was seemingly fine, until Mr. Schuester brought up this week's project.

WISDOM

"Who can give me an example of wisdom?" Mr. Schue asked.

"Hogwarts." Brittany was quick to reply.

Santana couldn't help but chuckle. It was still the Brittany she knew and loved.

"Not really what I meant." Mr. Schue resumed his focus on the class before continuing. "This week I want each of you to perform a song, which exemplifies wisdom. Meaning it tells a true meaningful story. Split into pairs and then I'll draw performing order from my hat on Friday."

Everyone split into pairs, Finn and Quinn, Tina and Mike, Puck and Lauren and Brittany and Artie. Then the only ones who were left were Santana and Rachel.

Santana was glad it was Rachel who was the only one without a partner. I mean, she was the only one in the club, besides Brittany that knew what Santana was going through.

The two of them spent the rest of the hour brainstorming. Santana knew this was the perfect opportunity to show Brittany just how much she meant the things she had said the other day and Rachel was onboard with her plan.

They just had to find the perfect song.

It was Thursday evening and they still didn't have a clue what they would sing, there were so many they could think of, but none of them really seemed right for what message they were trying to convey.

Until it hit Santana, she realized the perfect song.

Santana sat at the back of the choir room, oblivious to what was going on as she was so focused on how she would perform it. When suddenly she heard Artie being pushed to the front of the room by Brittany and then they cued the band to start.

She recognized the song immediately; she used to hear it all the time on those late-night 1970's song collection commercials.

They say we're young and we don't know

We won't find out until we grow

Well I don't know if all that's true

'Cause you got me, and baby I got you

Santana just couldn't believe they chose that song, it's not like Artie's known her forever. They've been dating for a couple months and before that Brittany didn't even know who he was.

So why this one?

Santana had been the one that was always there for Brittany, she was there when they both started high school, she was the one who helped Brittany with her homework, she was the one who explains life to Brittany, Santana's the one that has and understands her and Brittany has Santana too.

This song wasn't meant for them to be singing together and Santana knew it.

She was ready to storm out of the classroom because she was so upset, she just couldn't take it anymore. Suddenly the song ended and Santana quickly snapped out of it.

It wasn't until the last name was drawn, that Santana and Rachel finally performed.

The two slowly walked up to the front, before giving each other a quick nod and then they cued the band.

It started off with the smooth strokes of the guitar, before it eventually led into Santana's soft and sultry voice.

Come with me

My love

To the sea

The sea of love

I want to tell you

How much

I love you

It wasn't until a few words in, that Santana actually looked up from her feet. She instantly saw Brittany and the words just seemed to come out as if she'd written them herself. As if the song were about the two of them.

Do you remember

When we met

That's the day

I knew you were my pet

I wanna tell you

How much

I love you

Everything was falling into place. Santana's eyes were still focused on Brittany's and whether she knew it or not, Brittany's were looking back at the brunette's.

Rachel noticed the looks the two girls were sharing and couldn't help but smile. She didn't know all of the details of the girls' relationship, but she knew it was real and that Santana's feeling were requited.

No one else in the room, besides the three girls knew what was going on. That was until the last third of the song.

Come with me

My love

To the sea

The sea of love

I wanna tell you

How much

I love you

By the time Santana had sung "I love you" she was standing directly in front of Brittany, no more than a foot from her.

They hadn't exchanged any words or even touched hands. Instead they both just stayed there, in that moment no one else existed, not Artie, Sam or anyone. Not even Rachel was in their universe.

Suddenly the group started clapping and they were abruptly brought back to reality. Santana had finally moved back to the stage, as she broke her eye contact with her true love.

Santana and Brittany didn't say anything to each other in the choir room after that. She knew that the song had done everything for her and she couldn't have been happier, it was just a matter of time before they saw each other again.

Santana got a ride home with Rachel after Glee, she really needed to thank her. Even though she had spent years tormenting the pantsuit wearing diva, Santana knew that Rachel was a great friend to have. She was understanding, accepting and ultimately loyal. Not only Rachel helped her with the song, but she had kept her secret and that was all she really needed at this point.

Once home Santana flopped onto her bed, even though she had only performed for a few minutes, it felt like she had just run an entire marathon. She had a quick shower before going back to her bed to work on homework. It may have been the weekend, but Santana had a feeling that she would be quite busy for most of it, so she quickly finished her work, before she heard a tapping noise.
