"I can't believe that she would do that to me…" Brittany said softly while sitting on a pile of sand with Santana, far away from the rest of the blondes family. Brittany absentmindedly kept drawing marks in the sand as well as scooping sand into the palm of her hand and letting it slowly slip between her fingers.

"What are you doing?" Santana finally questioned after moments of silence and watching the blonde. She reached over to still the blonde's hand, which worked for a moment before Brittany moved again.

"This is my life." Brittany said softly as the sand slipped through the holes between her fingers for what seemed like the milionth time. Santana glanced at the blonde confused, asking with her eyes for her to continue and explain. "My life is just slipping away and here I am, just letting it happen."

Santana sighed and rested her head and arms on top of her bent knees. She glanced at Brittany and took in her facial expression and features. It was strange, even though she had just met the blonde two days ago, she felt her energy shift and it made her slightly upset.

"You can't let it get to you." Santana spoke softly. "I know that it hurts and I know that it sucks, but these kind of things just happen."

Brittany looked up at Santana and gave her a look of disbelief before scoffing and shaking her head.

"What?" Santana questioned while raising her eyebrows, obviously offended by the blondes response.

"This does not happen to everybody. I'd be surprised if something remotely close to this has ever happened to anybody else." Brittany shook her head before angrily grasping a handful of sand and squeezing it to death. When she released the sand, she had imprints of the small grains all over her palm.

Santana stared at the blonde before looking out at the sea and making a decision that she wanted to say she'd regret, but she wasn't so sure that she would.

"It does happen to other people." Santana stated again in a low but commanding voice.

Brittany looked towards the brunette and noticed the vacant look on her face.

"How do you know?" She questioned quietly.

Santana inhaled deeply before closing her eyes tightly.

"I know because it's happened to me." Santana said softly.

Brittany's eyes widened and she couldn't remove them from Santana's profile. She stared at the latina and hoped that her silence showed that she wanted her to continue her story.

She got the hint.

Santana cleared her throat before speaking. She didn't understand why she was going to tell her this, she didn't understand why she wanted to try so hard to let the blonde know that she wasn't alone. She just didn't understand.

"My brother did the same thing to me that your sister just did to you." She stated simply.

"Are you being serious?" Brittany questioned after a long pause.

Santana nodded her head and chuckled a small amount. "Yeah. But at the time, I was only 16, so I felt like it was the end of my whole world."

"I'm sorry." Brittany said softly. "Can I ask what happened?"

Santana nodded her head again slightly. She looked down at the sand and began to wiggle her toes through it, hoping that the blonde didn't notice, but she did.

"When I was fourteen, I met this girl. Her name was Helena Perez, she was beautiful. She was a year older than me." Santana took in a deep breath. "She was the first person that I came out to. And then, she became the first girl that I liked, who actually liked me back." Santana shrugged her shoulders helplessly and continued to wiggle her feet deeper into the sand. "Or so I thought. I ended up falling in love with her. She knew everything about me. She eventually became everything there was to me, she was my whole world. Anything that existed outside of her, it was irrelevant."

Brittany nodded her head in acknowledgement.

"She knew everything there was to know about me. She claimed that she had the same feelings for me that I had for her, but I know now that she never did. She was just using me." Santana licked her upper row of teeth in annoyance. "One day, at the time I was 16 and everything was so great between us- or I at least thought it was, I came home and I couldn't believe my eyes. I walk into the living room this night, I had just gotten home from lacrosse practice earlier than usual. I thought that I had been killed during practice that day, but it wasn't until I got home that I actually died." She nodded her head slowly, it was obvious that she was recalling the memory as she retold the story. "I walk into the living room, and there's Omari, my brother, laying on the couch kissing Helena like they've been dating forever. Abd ut turns out they were."

Brittany opened her mouth slightly in confusion.

"What do you mean?" She asked quietly.

Santana bore a tight lipped smile. "I mean that apparently one day Helena came to the house to talk to me, to tell me that she didn't feel how I did anymore. She met my brother and they started dating. They started dating when I was fifteen and it lasted for a year without me knowing. That was the night that my brother found out that I wasn't straight and that my life became fucked up."

Brittany's heart broke listening to Santana tell her story.

Maybe these kinds of things do just happen to people.

"I'm so sorry Santana. I can't believe that happened to you-" Brittany began to ramble before getting cut off by Santana.

"I'm not looking for your pitty Brittany so don't give it to me." Santana said harsher than she meant it to sound. "I told you that so that you know that the world doesn't hate you. It happens."

"I know, but-" Brittany began to say before Santana abruptly stood up. Brittany stared at her confused for a moment before following her.

"Where are you going?" She questioned.

"Back to your family." Santana shrugged. "Need to make a good impression."

Brittany stood in the sand for a moment longer before trekking behind the shorter woman to the rest of her relatives.

"So, you're Brittany's new significant other?" A deep voice questioned from behind Santana, who was waiting for a drink by the small bar.

Santana turned around slowly and rose one eyebrow while somewhat glaring at the tall blond man who was standing in front of her, her arms now crossed over her chest.

"What's it to you? It's none of your business since you're obviously not the one dating her because you're dating her sister." Santana responded rudely before turning around and directing her attention back to the bar counter.

"It's a lot to me." The voice countered back before reaching out and grabbing Santana's arm forcibly, causing the Latina to snatch her arm back and look back at the figure to size them up.

The small woman looked the body up and down before scoffing at them.

"Look, I don't mean to be rude… Well, actually, I do." Santana responded in a condescending tone. "So listen up fish face. Don't question me on anything. Oh, Brittany, yeah, she and her life do not concern you anymore since you wanted to go ahead and date her sister. Seriously, what the hell? You're not actually supposed to keep it in the family you idiot. Geeze. Now get out of my face please, afores I ends you." She finished with a sickeningly sweet smile before taking her drink from the counter and walking back over to meet her fake girlfriend back at their table.

The man stared at the small latina as she walked off into the distance, his mouth agape while she walked off with a smirk on her face.

"Alright everybody, I just wanted to say thank you all for coming once again." Ronnie said with a large and genuine smile on his face. "Now that everybody is finally here, we can start our group trips. Tomorrow we're going to the Palace Playland! So get ready to be woken up bright and early for fun. The splits for who's gonna be in what car with whom is listed on the wall by the front door. So get ready for a ton of fun tomorrow!"

Everybody screamed in unison for going on their first group trip tomorrow. They then all said goodnight and went their separate ways.

Santana and Brittany decided to check the list to see who they were going to be in the car with tomorrow before heading down stairs. They walked over to the list and flipped through the pages until they found Santana's name.

PS: Sorry for delayed reviews, been working my ass off trying to raise money so I can register for my classes for this semester. Still short like 400 dollars and I don't know what to do. :( If I raise the money before break ends, I'll try and update all my stories before classes start again.
