A week later Santana found herself outside Rachel and Kurt's apartment; she was finally doing it, taking a leap to live her dream. She took in one last deep breath then knocked on the door; there was no turning back now. Kurt opened the door 'Santana! we were expecting you over an hour ago, we were starting to get worried, come in, come in, sit down'
'Sorry the train was late' Santana sat down on the sofa
'Santana! It's so good to see you!' Rachel entered from the kitchen with coffee and handed a mug to Santana, 'How are you? How's college? You know I'm glad you and Quinn talked me out of that topless scene, have you heard from Quinn? We are texting all the time'
'Yea, me and Quinn call each other a lot and text' replied Santana, at that moment Brody walked in from the bathroom
'Oh hi, Santana right, good to see you, hope you had a good journey' he said.
'Yea, yea good' Santana replied
'Well I have to go and get some new shoes, I am getting holes in my old ones' Brody swiftly kissed Rachel and left
'Bye' Rachel uttered 'So how is college?'
Santana's face dropped 'Well, that's a story'
'Well go on then, we haven't got all day, we are taing you to a New York party later, did you bring something suitable to wear or do we have to go shopping too?'
'Erm, yea I, I have clothes' Santana replied her voice started to crack as she remembered the situation with Brittany
'Hey San, what's the matter?' said Kurt sympathetically
'I, I dropped out of college' Kurt looked at Santana in shock
'What why?' Rachel exclaimed
'I thought you were happy' Kurt added
'I wasn't I missed, I missed' Santana tried to explain but was now choking back tears 'I missed Brit, so I dropped out to be with her, but, but' she took a deep breath 'but she was already dating Sam when I got back'
'Hey it's okay' Kurt hugged Santana
'So we got into a fight, then I ran into Tina, and she persuaded me to try and move on… so' she took another breath, lifted her head up and said 'I'm moving to New York, Tina told me to follow my dream so that's what I'm doing'.
'Oh that's great, hey you should stay with us for a while or at least until you get you own place' Kurt smiled
'Thanks Kurt'
'Oh yea, this is going to be great, worthy of a celebration I'll go get the wine and some glasses' Rachel said. When she returned she poured the wine 'a toast I think, to the future and new beginnings'.
A week later after spending a few days finding all the places she needed to know in New York and a last trip home to pick up the rest of her things, she was actually, officially moving in. She was nervous that it would all go wrong but she was also happy that she was moving on and living her dream. She only had the sofa but it was a start she would get up in the morning at start looking for her own apartment and a job but it was late and Santana was exhausted physically and emotionally.
