Hey guys! Thank you so much for reading the story and for your kind comments. Please let me know what you would like to see happen next in the story, I really like for you to share your ideas. I'm sick and the doctor told me to stay in bed for about a week, which means that I might be uploading new chapters sooner, so keep checking in. I hope you enjoy this chapter, PLEASE REVIEW.
The days leading up to the first day back to school had been complete misery for Santana. She had spent most of her time writing texts on her cell phone but every time she ended up erasing them instead of sending them to Brittany. The girls hadn't talked about what happened at Puck's party, in a way it wasn't something new, but both girls knew that this time it meant something different, and the thought of it terrified them both. Santana also thought that Brittany probably regretted the whole thing; she was with Artie, and judging by his facebook status that Santana checked every couple of hours, the couple was still together.
Christmas vacations were over and Santana was happy for once to be back at school, maybe cheerios practice would take her mind away from the whole Brittany and Artie drama.
She had been debating as if to wear her bracelet to school that day, she wasn't even sure were her friendship with Brittany stood so she just placed it in her backpack instead. As she walked through the hall people moved with fear, and she felt good because of it but at the same time she wished she had her best friend walking beside her.
A couple of classes had gone by and she still hadn't seen Brittany, which in a way was a relief, she wouldn't know what to say to the blonde if she was to talk to her.
"Santana"
The Latina was placing her books in her locker; she closed it and was a bit surprised to see that Artie was almost as tall as her. It took her time to remember that the boy had the walking device attached to his back, making him capable to stand straight.
"Why are you talking to me?" She started to walk away, but she heard the metallic noise of the device moving towards her, she sighed and stopped. It took Artie twice as long to reach her with the device than with his wheelchair, but he seemed excited to be using the device in school, and not even Santana was that big of a bitch to walk away from the guy.
"Make it quick cyborg" She turned to look at Artie "I don't have all day"
"Have you seen Brittany?"
The sound of the blonde's name made Santana's heart beat faster than normal.
"She's your girlfriend; you should know where she is"
Artie looked at the ground "She has been acting pretty weird lately" He paused "Like more than usual"
"Britt's not weird!" Santana snapped "She's different, that's all"
Artie took a step back, a little terrified by Santana's reaction "Since Puck's party she has been avoiding me" He smiled "Maybe she's afraid that I will leave her now that I can dance and stuff, but she doesn't have to worry. Maybe you can talk to her about that"
"I used to think you were kind of a douchebag before" Santana crossed her arms in front of her chest "But now you have reached Kanye West status" She made a mental note to put something weird in his food at lunch and left him to go to her next class.
School finished for the day and Santana was heading for her car when she saw Artie's mom come and pick him up, she didn't see Brittany in the van with them which made her a bit worried. She knew that it wasn't a good idea for Brittany to walk back from school, the girl would easily get lost and the weather was too cold to have Brittany walking around for hours. Instead of driving back home she decided to go back to school to look for Brittany, hoping she hadn't left yet.
"Britt!" She yelled, she didn't even bother to scare the kids looking at her strangely as she hurried through the hall. "Brittany, where are you?"
Santana had been looking for Brittany for quite some time now "Brittany!" Her voice started to crack from all the screaming, but there was no way she was going to leave with the possibility that Brittany was still in school. She stopped when she smelled the familiar scent of strawberry lip smackers "Britt?" She turned to see Brittany sitting in the stairs; the blonde was looking down at her own hands.
"Brittany, here you are" Santana took a deep breath "I have been looking everywhere for you"
"I'm sorry" Brittany whispered without looking up.
Santana immediately knew that something was wrong with her friend "What's wrong B? Why are you here alone?" She sat down next to Brittany, but still keeping her distance from the blonde.
"I've been here since the beginning of school. I'm paralyzed with fear" She answered embarrassed, avoiding looking at Santana in the eyes.
"Fear of what?" Santana rolled her eyes in realization "Pfff, Coach Sylvester was joking when she said she was going to boil us alive if we mess up the routine..." She paused "Well, kind of joking"
"I'm not scared of that. My routine is always perfect, I'm the best dancer in this school" Brittany's confidence would seem annoying in someone else, but with her it just added to her charm.
"Then, what are you scared of?"
Brittany bit her lip and then looked down at her hands again.
"B, you can tell me"
Brittany looked up to look at Santana "I don't like it when you fight"
"When I fight? I'm not fighting anyone"
"You are going to tell Artie about what happened at Puck's party, and you both are going to fight" Brittany said glancing sideways.
"What?" Santana remembered how she told Artie that Brittany was just using him, that had been a low move and Brittany had not been particularly happy after she did that "I won't tell him Britt" She looked down to look at her own hands "We don't have to tell anyone about what happened"
"We don't?"
"We were drunk, whatever. Girls do that sometimes" She pressed her hand to her forehead "I can barely remember that night anyways" Santana lied, that had been the only thing on her mind since it happened.
Brittany pouted as she heard Santana's words; maybe Santana was too drunk to even remember their kiss or what it meant. Maybe she was better being with Artie, even if his kisses didn't make her feel like Santana's kisses did.
"Hmmm okay"
"C'mon" Santana stood up, extending her pinky for Brittany to grab on to. Brittany quickly stood up and linked her pinky with Santana "Let's get you home"
"Why? I think I have Spanish today, and said that if I skip class again I will fail"
"Britt school is over"
"Really? Are you sure?"
Santana nodded "Don't worry, we can tell you were sick or something and we can do the work today at my house, that way you are not behind"
Brittany nodded still confused as to how quickly the day had gone by.
They were walking down the hall when Santana turned around to face Brittany "I know you like Artie Britt, I won't hurt him, you don't have to worry about that" She whispered.
"I don't worry about him" Brittany squeezed Santana's hand "I don't want him to hurt you"
Brittany was about to continue walking when Santana stopped her "Hurt me? I'm Santana fucking Lopez, how the hell is wheels going to hurt me?" Even though she was a girl and tiny, Santana knew she could take any guy from school easily, especially Artie.
Brittany got close to Santana's ear, her lips slightly brushing the Latina's cheek "I saw Transformers the other day, I think he's one of those. I don't want my boyfriend to turn into a car and hurt you"
Santana smiled "Thanks for looking out for me"
As Brittany got into the passenger's seat, Santana hurried to take her bracelet out of her bag and put it on before the blonde noticed that she wasn't wearing it during the school day.
"You found your bracelet!" Brittany smiled as Santana drove.
"Yeah, I did" Santana looked down at the bracelet.
"That's good"
"So….your boyfriend is a transformer?" Santana tapped the steering wheel as she waited for the light to turn green.
"Shhh don't say it so loud. It's supposed to be a secret"
"Sorry" Santana rolled her eyes "Hard to compete against that"
"I like your character too""
"My character?"
Brittany nodded "I think you are the one that Megan Fox plays"
Santana laughed "Why?"
"Because you are hot" Brittany answered in a heartbeat.
They drove in silence until they reached Santana's house.
Soo….what do you think? PLEASE REVIEW. Let me know what you guys would like to see happen next in the story, I'm thinking of writing a chapter were the girls study Spanish and of course Santana being the tutor. What do you think? Let me know.
Thanks!
