August- September
Clarissa was this girl she met. Every now and then Santana would go to Rachel and ask for relationship advice, and Rachel would nicely give her some advice. She felt grateful to have Rachel, she made her feel wanted. She made her feel happier, she hadn't felt happy in months but Rachel only changed that as soon as she became part of her life. She was her cupcake, Santana was her muffin. As corny as that sounded to other people, she didn't care at all.
Text to Rachel: How are you and Quinn?
Text from Rachel: We've been fighting a lot, I don't know honestly.
Text to Rachel: Have you tried talking to her about it?
Text from Rachel: Yes but she always seems to ignore, or is always busy.
Text to Rachel: I'm sorry sweetie.
Text from Rachel: It's okay, I think I like someone else. Her name is Jane. She was my ex, Remember I told you about her? She cheated on me.
Text to Rachel: So you like her again?
Text from Rachel: A little, I mean I've always liked her. And she has been better at talking to me as a girlfriend then Quinn.
Text to Rachel: Oh. Well just do what makes you happy.
And Santana did want her to be happy. That's all she had ever wanted. She wanted Rachel to be happy despite everything else. If Rachel wasn't happy, Santana would feel sad. Clarissa was a good girlfriend to Santana. She was always there, always nice. She was very loving and Santana thought that maybe with Clarissa, she'd get over her stupid crush on Rachel. Clarissa did make her forget about that crush, with Clarissa she only saw Rachel as Rachel saw Santana. A best friend. Someone who would always be there no matter what. Clarissa was always there too, but Rachel was the only one that could know certain things. Santana wasn't someone who could trust someone easily, but Rachel was different. She was afraid, that someday she'd lose her best friend but she never really thought about it, she tried to keep her as much as she could. August and September came by quickly. Santana was already starting her senior year, Rachel was starting her sophomore year. Senior year started off exciting, having Clarissa by her side and Rachel just made everything much simpler. To add to that, her and Brittany became closer.
