I wake up my head on Brittany's chest.
I smile but then realize what happened the night before.
We kind of fought, but she doesn't know why.
I don't know how I went from yelling at her to laying on her chest, but I can't help but like it.
Especially because her fingers are closed tightly around my top arm.
I decide I need to brush of this whole Sam thing, because I don't want it to get between us.
"Britt," I say as I tug on her shirt. "Wake up."
I feel her abs work as she leans up slightly.
"Woah, morning." She chuckles.
"Hmm." I answer because I'm too lazy to say anything else.
"Are we friends again?" she asks.
"Yes." I say.
She lifts her pinky up and I smile and take it in mine.
"Are you going to tell me what was going on?"
"Nope." I answer.
"Ughh fine." She says.
"I have a question that I never asked you." I say.
"What?"
"Why did Matthew even move?" I ask. I always wondered but never asked.
"Wow random," She says leaning up a little. "Well he went to pursue his dancing career I guess. I'm pretty sure he's auditing for Beyoncé or something. But he also said that he might only be able to do something small, like in Disney." She shrugs.
My jaw drops as I look up at her.
"Brittany that's big! How are you shrugging?" I say confused.
"Yeah, its big but not to me. Last year he was with Britney."
"No fucking way." I say in total disbelief.
"Hhaha, yeah." She says cooly.
She looks over at the clock.
"Get up" She says.
"Huh?"
She pulls me out of the bed and towards the door.
"Where are we going?" I mutter.
She doesn't answer and just keeps pulling my pinky towards the kitchen.
It smells good.
I walk in and see Rachel with her apron on and a huge smile on her face.
There's so much breakfast food on the table.
I look around and remember its my birthday.
How could I forget.
They start singing to me as Brittany sits me down at the table.
Brittany did this for me. I mean yeah, with the help of Rachel, but she did this.
I smile as they finish the last part of the song.
Theres a candle in one of the three muffins.
I blow it out and we all laugh.
"You guys really seriously shouldn't have." I tell them.
"Of course we should have!" Rachel says.
"Yeah, you are the birthday girl. So you get to pick what we do tonight." Brittany tells me
"Oh, club for sure." I say as I dig in to the breakfast.
We all laugh.
"Hey Britt?" Rachel says as she eats a bit of muffin.
"Yeah." Brittany mumbles back chewing her food.
"Got any siblings?" Rachel asks questionable.
I don't know why the hell Berry would even need to know that information.
"Yes, actually," Brittany smiles thinking about them. "Chase and Katie." She says with a bigger smile.
Rachel nods.
"How about you guys?"
I look at Rachel and she immediately starts blabbing.
"Well I'm an only child and I have two dads so they really just decided to settle with me and not got through the entire picking a mom thing." She says extremely fast.
Brittany nods and shifts her eyes to me. I just look down.
Rachel puts her hand on my shoulder. Brittany looks at us with narrowed eyes.
"I'm sorry-I….what?" Brittany stammers out.
I realize she probably thinks one of my siblings is dead or something.
"Oh, no." I laugh. "It's just, I don't really know. I have a lot though." I say taking a bite of food.
"What do you mean?" She asks slowly.
"My dad had a lot of girlfriends." I shrug. "So I have a lot of steps." I say.
"Oh, that must be cool!" Brittany says excitedly. "Having so many sibling I would love it."
I shake my head smiling.
"Yeah, it would be fun if I knew any of them. I only actually talk to one." I say at her.
"Oh, I'm so sorry." her smile fades.
"You didn't know." I shrug
Brittany gets up from the table.
"Ok, I have to get to class, but Rach and I will come over before the club tonight to give you some presents." Brittany says.
My smile fades as she walks to the door.
"Happy birhdayyyy agaiinn!" She says as she closes the door.
The second she does Rachel gives me a questioning look.
"What happened?" She asks as she takes a bite of her muffin.
"Nothing, we talked, not about what you think."
She nods. "Thats good. I talked to her too." She says with a smirk.
"About what?" I ask her hesitantly.
"You, silly. Well and Sam."
I groan at the mention of his name.
"When you stormed up to her room she asked me what was wrong and I hinted that it might be about Sam, now don't take my word for it, but I think she was trying to make you jealous with this whole Sam thing."
I nod and urge her to keep going.
"She never liked Sam, she's probably doing this date to make you mad. Just get you're flirt on tonight and get Sam out of her mind." She tells me.
"Thanks Berry."
"I also think you should consider telling Quinn about how you feel. I don't want her gutting hurt."
"I have been thinking about it, and I will, if me and Brittany become something, which might never happen."
She answers with a simple "Fine."
We finish eating and I thank her for everything she did.
As I'm about to leave I get a phone call.
Its Sugar.
She lives down in New Jersey with her rich boyfriend.
It's not like she needs the money, she's already loaded.
"Hello?"
"Santana I have the best news ever!" She screeches.
"What is it?" I ask.
Rachel asks me who it is and I mouth Sugar to her.
I put her on speaker.
"Are you ready?"
"Yes Sugar, Oh and Rachel's here too."
"Even better! Okay, so….I'm getting married!" She yells into the phone.
I'm shocked at first.
"Helloo? Santana are you there?" She asks.
"Y-yeah, that's great Sugar, when?"
"Oh um, three days, and your all invited, Quinn told me about that new girl so she can come too."
"Woah, woah, hold up. Three days? Thais quick."
"Yeah, but he proposed and I said yes so ail you come please please please please I will even pay for your gas just please."
This girl will pay for anything.
"Of course we will come Sugar. Text me the info tonight."
"Yes! Okay will do, and happy birthday." She said in her best seductive tone.
I laughed and hung up.
"Guess she's getting married." I say with a shrug.
"Wow, good for her I guess." She says.
I nod and tell Rachel that her and Brittany should come over before the Club tonight.
When I get home Quinn's on the phone.
"Who's that?"
I say when she hangs up.
"Sugar, she's getting married!"
"I know," I laugh. "I just talked to her."
"Are we going to go?" She asks.
"I don't see why not, she is our friend Quinn."
"I know it just so soon and sudden we don't know if everyone can."
"Well today is my last day of work until next week, so I can go, and if the others can't than oh well." I say with a shrug.
"Okay fine." She says.
"Wait where's Puck?" I ask.
He slept here last night.
"He wanted to catch up with Blaine and Kurt" She explains.
I nod and start walking towards the bathroom so that I can take a shower and go to work.
"Where do you think your going?" She asks.
"….to take a shower, is that unusual?" I say hesitantly.
"It is unusual to take a shower before I give you your birthday hug!"
She runs up to me and spins me around and gives me a soft kiss on the cheek.
"Who's a happy 22 year old?" She asks all giddy.
"Not me, I mean what kind of manager makes a girl work on her birthday." I say.
"Don't worry, it will al be worth it when you see your presents." She says with a smirk.
I roll my eyes and go into the shower.
After that I say goodbye to Quinn and head to work.
I work at this place called 'The House'.
I guess it's a sort of romantic restaurant, which I dislike, but a job is a job.
I'm a waitress/bartender, and it's not much fun.
I hate being here today because it's my birthday.
While I'm not doing anything, I decide to text Brittany, because I haven't heard from her all day.
As soon as I'm about too, I hear a familiar giggle.
I look up and see Brittany. With Sam.
I choke on my breath and try to stay out of their sight.
She lied about class, she came out with him and lied to me.
They must not know I work here.
Once they're seated I relax but I'm still hurt.
Even of all days to go out with him she chooses my birthday, and my workplace.
Santana we need you to waitress table 17." My stupid boss tells me.
I look at the table list and try to scope out the table.
Just my luck. Its theirs.
"Sir, I can't, you see-"
"I don't care what you can and can't do. I know that you can wait that table. So do so." He says in a stern voice as he walks away.
I take deep breath and walk towards the table.
Neither of them look up.
"Hi," I say as I put two cutlery sets down. "My name is Santana and I'll be your server this afternoon."
The second they hear my name both of their heads jolt up.
I meet blue eyes.
"No way!" Sam says as he gets up from the table. "You never told us you worked here!" He kisses me on the cheek but I don't want him anywhere near me. "Happy birthday boo." He says.
I don't want him calling me that anymore.
Brittany won't loo me in the eyes.
I smile at Sam because he's the only one I'm getting a reaction from right now.
"How Ironic." He says as he sits down.
"Yeah, Ironic like if someone says they won't do something, but then they do." I say in a harsh tone.
He laughs and doesn't think anything of my words meant for Brittany.
"Something to drink for you too love birds?" I ask as I narrow my eyes at Brittany and cock my head to the side.
Sam lets out a nervous laugh.
"Were just friends." Brittany mutters.
"Oh well didn't you see the sign? This is a romantic restaurant, don't worry, you don't have to lie. Or keep it a secret. Especially from me, I mean were best friends, right?" I say as I lift my eyebrows up curiously.
"I'll have a coke." Is all she says.
I nod.
"For you trouty mouth?" I ask him.
"I'll have the same." He says with a smile.
"I'll be right back with those." I say with my best fake smile.
I let out a breath as I walk to get their drinks.
I'm so hurt right now, I don't care how rude I am.
She told me she would go out with him. She lied to me.
It hurts even more because I wish it was me with her here.
I walk over with their drinks and slam Brittany's a little harder than I should have.
"Oops, my mistake Britt Britt." I say.
"Ready to order?"
"Sure are." Sam says cooly.
"Lady's first." I say as I look down at Brittany.
"Mac and cheese."
"Mac and cheese? This nice boy takes you out and your only going to get the mac and cheese?" I say sarcastically.
I watch as Sam gets uncomfortable.
"Please San." She says still never making eye contact with me.
I lick my lips and write it down. Maybe I'm overreacting, she seems upset.
"I'll have the steak." He says with a smile as he hands me both their menus.
"Thatta boy." I say and walk away.
I put their orders down and take the next table over's order.
I turn around and see that Brittany was staring at me.
I raise my eyebrows at her and she looks away flustered.
I roll my eyes.
When their food is ready, I bring it out not saying a word as I place both of their orders in front of them.
"Thanks San." Sam says with a smile.
I nod and leave.
I go to the bathroom so I can actually get away from seeing them every time I walk out of the kitchen.
Im grateful that there is no body else in here.
I look at myself in the mirror as I wash my hands.
The door opens and I roll my eyes at the loss of privacy.
I see familiar blonde hair and look in the mirror.
Its Brittany.
I scoff and roll my eyes again, moving to the dryer to dry my hands.
She stands in the same spot the whole time.
"Can I help you?" I ask when I'm finished.
She opens her mouth to say something but doesn't.
I lean against the sink and raise my eyes at her waiting for an explanation.
"I didn't mean to lie to you." She says.
I laugh. "Sure you didn't."
"No really. I promised Sam I would and it made you upset the other night so I though I would just not tell you. I didn't want you to be upset, on your birthday especially."
"It doesn't seem like you care about how it would make me feel, being the fact that you did it. Also real smooth telling me you had dance." I snap.
"Santana." She says stepping towards me. "I'm sorry if it makes you feel uncomfortable, since you dated him I guess but I don't like him like that and I never will."
Totally ignored my dance statement.
I just continue staring at her.
"Besides, I like somebody else." She says shyly.
"Awesome, I'm leaving now."
I walk out the door and leave the restaurant. My shifts over soon anyway.
"San, how bout this?" Quinn says as she flaunts her body in a yellow tight dress.
"Love it," I fake smile. "You perfect bitch."
She laughs.
"what are you wearing?"
"Dunno, I might just stay home. Im not really feeling it."
She hits my leg.
"No you psycho, its your birthday and your coming, and you're wearing this." She says as she grabs something out of my closet and throws it at me.
I roll my eyes and wiggle into the purple dress.
"Wanky." She says with a wink.
I giggle.
Quinn always makes me feel better. Maybe I should tell her about whats going on.
"Hey Quinn, I want to tell you some-"
I'm interrupted my Blaine, Kurt, and Puck singing Happy Birthday.
"Ahh! Present time!" She squeals as she grabs my hand and drags me to the living room.
I smile at my best friends.
"Guys, you didn't have to."
"But we did!" Kurt says.
Rachel walks in next with her present.
"Open it!" She says.
"No no," Quinn takes it from her hands. "Not until Sam and Britt get here."
"There probably busy boning." I scoff.
They all shoot me questioning looks.
"They want for a date." I say.
"Oh, thats…..different." Blaine says.
As he does there is a knock on the door.
I sit on the couch to face away from the door because I know who's going to walk through.
"Britt, Sam!" Quinn yells.
I turn around and hey each have a present in their hands.
Brittany looks stunning. But I try to ignore how perfect she is.
"Present time!" Rachel screams and grabs hers and runs towards me.
I laugh and start to open it as everyone sits around me.
It's a 'finish this book', and wreck my journal'.
I laugh, because I've told Rachel for years I wanted these.
"Rachel." I say through giggles.
She laughs too.
"I love it." I say as I hug her.
"Theres also a card with a little mula." She smirks.
Puck and Quinn both hand me a present that they got together.
"Puck didn't have time so we decided to split one.
I smile as I open it.
It's a DVD.
I look at them with a questioning look.
"It's of every song you ever performed on stage. I heard you singing the other day, and Rachel got you an audition for a show!" She squeals. "We sent this to them and they want to see you live."
Blaine and Kurt start having a freak attack.
This is so great.
I have a chance to perform again.
"Quinn." I say as I straddle her on the couch and big her.
"Thanks Puck." I turn my head to him with a smile.
He nods.
"This is amazing!" I say thinking about even being on a stage. Especially Broadway.
"I can't thank you guys enough." I say.
"Our turn!" Kurt interjects.
I take the gift and start unwrapping it.
How did I not guess that it would be clothes.
I'm glad they are gay, because they have great taste.
They got me two dresses, a shirt, and a pair or jeans.
"For school! Classes starts any day now." Kurt says.
He's right, I have class next week.
"I love it." I say as I smile at them.
They both grin back and Rachel hands me Sams gift.
I don't want to open it, because I'm mad at him, but he doesn't know it, and I would be able to tell anybody beside Berry why.
I open it with a straight face.
It's an iPad.
A freaking iPad.
"Sam!" I scream.
He just smiles.
"Sam this must have cost a fortune, you shouldn't have. Take it back."
"Nope, your my best friend San, it's all yours."
I smile and feel guilty about how mean I was to him.
Even though he didn't know it.
Sam isn't a bad guy, it Brittany doing this.
It gets quiet and everybody looks to Brittany.
She's standing behind the couch with a small box in her hand.
"Can I…give it to you in private?" She asks.
I can't tell she's extremely nervous.
I narrow my eyes at her.
"Ok."
I get up and we walk to my room.
"Im setting up the iPad!" Quinn screams as she tears it open.
I walk in first and sit on the bed.
Brittany closes the door and stands there.
She swallows hard and moves closer to hand me the present.
I look up at her and back down at the box.
I bite my lip while opening the box.
I see a necklace, ring, and bracelet.
I pull the bracelet out first. It has a little heart charm on the end.
I look up at her and she smiles.
I look back down and pull out the ring.
It has shooting stars going across.
I place it next to the bracelet and stare at them in awe.
She sits down next to me as I pull out the necklace.
It has nothing but a paperclip and half a heart.
She lifts her hand up in front of my eyes and I see she has matching of all the things.
The same Bracelet, ring, and necklace.
I don't know what to say because this is the best gift I've ever gotten.
"It's so me, and the rest of the world, know that you're my best friend. You don't have to wear them if you don't wanna, I get that your mad at me, but I just wanted you to know that you really are my best friend Santana."
I still can seem to get words out of my mouth.
"Britt," I start. "I'm sorry for being mean." I look at her and she half smiles.
"I just, I can't exactly explain to you why because I don't know why myself, but I'm sorry I promise ill stop. You are my best friend, and of course I will wear it all." I tell her. "I guess this is just weird for me because I like you which is rare."
She smiles and hugs me tight.
"I like you too San." She whispers in my ear.
I know she doesn't mean it the way I want her too but I take it anyway.
I don't want to let go, and we stay in our embrace for almost a minute.
I hand her the necklace and turn around.
She moves my hair from my neck and it send shivers down my spine.
She clips it and I slip on the bracket and ring.
I grab her pinky in mine, and we go back to the living room, as best friends
