She does something desperate. Later that night, after Brittany has left and Santana's thoughts just won't shut up, like an idiot she sneaks out of the house.
She finds the one guy in school who will help her without any questions, and he lets her into his house without a word. They sneak upstairs and he turns on his bedroom light.
"Wow, Santana. Change your mind fast, huh? Ready to get some of this action?"
"Shut up, Puckerman. Just... do what you have to do already."
An eyebrow rises. "Are you a virgin?"
"No."
"Liar. You are. It's okay, I'll make it really special for you, San. You can trust me." He winks at her and she almost gags.
His lips attack her own furiously and Santana tries to remember that this will all be worth it...
Later that night, Santana sneaks back into her room and cries, hating who she is and what she's done. As if having sex with Puckerman could make things better. What was she thinking? That clearly wasn't the answer. She tries to fall asleep but she cannot, so she does the only other thing she knows will help her calm down.
"Hello?"
"Brittany?"
"Santana? What's wrong?"
"I did something stupid."
Brittany doesn't complain about the late hour or ask what trouble she could have possibly got into at 3 a.m. in the morning. She only asks, "What happened?"
"I... I, uh, had sex with Puckerman."
"Oh, San."
No condemnation. No anger. Brittany comforts her by eventually making her laugh and stays on the phone with her until Santana falls asleep.
The next day the girls meet up at school. Brittany glances at Santana in concern.
"How are you?"
Santana sighs and ignores Brittany's last statement as she asks instead, "How was your date last night?"
"Um... It was okay. He kissed me but it was kind of slobbery and not as good as when we did it."
A flare of hope sparks up in her but she ignores it. "That's too bad, Britt. Are you going to go out with him again?"
"No. I didn't really enjoy it. I'd rather just hang out with you."
This time it's impossible to ignore the feeling of joy that statement brings. "I'd rather hang out with you too, Brittany."
Yes, I know. It's a very short chapter and I apologize. It's taken me forever to update because I've been caught up with the craziness of life and another story I'm working on, but I promise I'll send a much longer update soon. Review please :)
