Brittany had spent the last hour trying to figure out what she was going to wear for her date with Sam. She normally didn't put that much effort in to dressing up for dates but for some reason, she felt the need to look nice and impress Sam.
"What do you think, Tubbs? Too much?" asked Brittany
She faced her pet cat Lord Tubbington and pointed to her outfit. She was wearing a tank top with a sheer blouse on top matched with skinny jeans and high tops. The fluffy cat simply meowed and stared blankly at her. Brittany let out a disgruntled moan and fell to her bed.
"Since when did dating become this hard?" Brittany muttered to herself
Someone knocked on her door and Brittany stood right up.
"Britt? Sam is here!" said Susan Pierce as she opened the door
"Oh. Thanks, mom!" replied Brittany as she rushed past her mom and down the stairs.
When Brittany arrived downstairs, she found Sam playing dolls with her little sister Bianca. The way Sam played with Bianca reminded her so much of the times Santana had played with the younger blonde but Brittany pushed away the memory.
"Hey," said Sam as soon as he caught sight of Brittany
"Should we go?" replied Brittany
"Do you kids really have to go?" asked Henry Pierce as he entered the living room "Why don't you stay for dinner?" he continued
"That's really kind of you, Mr. Pierce. But I'll let Britt decide what she wants to do" Sam replied politely
Henry Pierce turned to his daughter and made a pouty face.
"Dad…" sighed Brittany
"Oh come on, Bee. We rarely get to eat together as a family anymore"
Brittany let out a sigh and looked at Sam who was just grinning from the sidelines. She turned to her dad and gave a soft nod.
"Only if you guys promise that you won't show Sam any of our photo albums"
Her dad's grin turned in to a full-blown smile as he led them in to the dining room.
Halfway through dinner, Brittany felt dumb for even worrying about her family would take to Sam. He was a nice guy and her parents could tell.
"Sam, Brittany tells me that you're family moved to Columbus last year," said Mr. Pierce
"Yeah. But Finn and Rachel convinced me to come back for glee club and I've been living at the Hummel's since. Finn and I are actually pretty close so Mr. and Mrs. Hummel were cool with it," replied Sam
"Well, if you ever find yourself in a tight spot, know that we're here for you, son" said Mr. Pierce
Sam nodded politely and gave Brittany's dad a grateful smile. All through out dinner, Sam and Brittany kept exchanging looks. With each look, Brittany could feel her cheek get warmer and warmer.
When dinner ended, Brittany thought that she and Sam could finally get some alone time. But to her dismay, her parents insisted that they all eat desert in the living room while going through old photographs. Bianca took charge of showing Sam all of their old family pictures and was flanked by Brittany and Sam on each side. The three of them sat down on the carpet and leaned against the sofa. Somewhere through Bianca's storytelling, Sam had managed to put his arm around and over the younger Pierce and had gotten hold of Brittany's hand. After what felt like a few minutes, Sam felt his phone vibrating in his pocket. He looked at the message. It was from Finn.
Finn Hudson: "Bro, it's nearly 11pm. Don't tell me you're staying over at Britt's"
Sam let out a chuckle and replied to his friend.
Sammy Evans: LOL. Not that kind of date, dude. Be home in 20.
Sam got up and turned to Mr. and Mrs. Pierce who were listening on the sidelines.
"Mrs. Pierce, thank you so much for that wonderful dinner. It was hands down, one of the best dinners I've ever had in my entire life," said Sam as he gave Susan a hug. "Mr. Pierce, very nice to meet you, sir"
"Great meeting you too, Sam" replied Mr. Pierce as he shook Sam's hand
Sam turned to find Brittany standing beside him.
"I'll go walk him out," said Brittany
"No! I don't want Sam to go!" shouted Bianca
"No worries, lil buddy. I'll be back soon," grinned Sam
Mrs. Pierce walked over to where Bianca was and carried her up to her room.
"Thanks for being so cool tonight. Not many people make it through an entire night with my family," said Brittany
"No problem. I had fun tonight, Britt," replied Sam
"Me too," Brittany said softly
Sam slowly leaned in as he put on hand on Brittany's waist, pulling her closer to him. Brittany closed her eyes as she felt Sam's lips on hers. The kiss was different from what she was used to. Sam's kiss was soft and slow. He tasted sweet… like wine. Brittany had only ever had wine once but she was sure that Sam tasted just like it. After a few more moments, the two pulled away from each other; each wearing a small mischievous grin.
"See you tomorrow," whispered Sam
He gave her one last kiss on the cheek before turning around and walking away.
Brittany was still flushed from her kiss with Sam when she heard her little sister calling her.
"Britt? Do you mind tucking me in?"
"Sure thing, little Bee," replied Brittany
Bianca took her sister's hand and led Brittany to her room. Bianca jumped in to her bed then Brittany pulled the sheets over the younger blonde and kissed Bianca's forehead.
"I really like Sam. He's nice," said the little one
"I really like him too" replied Brittany
Just as Brittany was about to turn off the lamp beside Bianca's bed, the younger Pierce spoke up apprehensively.
"Can I ask you a question?"
"What's up?"
"Where's Santana? She told me she would visit even after she graduates and I haven't seen her in forever"
"She's busy with college stuff," mumbled Brittany
"Oh," Bianca frowned "I miss her"
Brittany couldn't help but let a few tears drop. It was then that she realized just how big a part Santana had played in her life.
"Yeah, I miss her too" Brittany said softly
Bianca reached out from under her blanket and wiped the tears off of Brittany's face.
"Don't be sad. I hate it when you're sad"
Brittany couldn't help but laugh at the similarity between her and Bianca.
"Santana will come back. She'll come back home. To you. Just wait."
Brittany felt a pang of pain shoot through her entire body.
"She won't. I lost her. She's gone. Forever." Brittany thought
She just forced a smile and kissed her sister on the forehead.
Britt got up and went to her room. She opened her laptop and went on iChat. Sam had left a message saying he had fun tonight and wanted to go on another date. Brittany felt a bit of guilt creep up her spine.
"It's not cheating. Santana said we could date other people," Brittany thought to herself
She closed the window and scrolled through her contacts list until she found what she was looking for.
Santana Lopez
UNAVAILABLE
Brittany just laid on her bed staring at her laptop. After a few minutes, the screen turned black and her screensaver went on. Pictures of her and Santana started playing via slideshow. Brittany felt tears streaming down her face but she just laid there. Brittany looked intently at the brunette who even in pictures managed to make her heart race. Brittany closed her eyes and put her arms around herself.
"I love you, Santana," sobbed Brittany
She opened her eyes and looked at the Latina's face starting right back at her.
"Please say you love me back," the blonde sobbed softly
Nothing…nothing but silence. Brittany cried even harder. She cried because she would never hear those words. She cried for all the things that she should've done, she should've said but didn't. But above all, she cried for all the things that could have been but now, never will. Despite the fact that people who loved and adored her surrounded her, Brittany had never felt more alone in her life.
When she finally opened her eyes, Brittany found herself looking in to a set of familiar dark brown eyes that showed a mix of emotions. Regret. Pain. Guilt. Worry. Anger.
"Britt?"
Brittany felt her throat constrict. She opened her mouth but words failed her. She bit her lower lip and tried again.
"San… Santana?"
A/N: Longest one so far. So how is it? I really wanted Brittany to be seen as sad and broken here. I really feel like RIB really rushed the whole Bram development thing. I mean, BRITTANA ARE SOULMATES, they each need time to mourn and get over their break-up. Really hope you liked this chapter. Again, favorite, follow or review if you feel like it. Next chapter will probably be up this weekend. Way too much crap to do for school =.=
