A/N: WARNING log ass authors note ahead!
Hey, well I'm back. I know you guys are probably mad that it took me so long to update but after my surgery some shit came up and I had to get stuff ready for school. I'm hoping to get two more chapters updated before I start, so fingers crossed.
Also I'm not demanding reviews but I need some help. I figured out that sometimes its easier to express things in the third person, so I might have the story bounce back and forth from the girls and their point of views to an all knowing one (its just going to be easier when there's more people involved) So the next chapter will be 3rd person all knowing. Just tell me if it gets too confusing and I'll stick to one.
Last thing thank you so much Guest ILoveFOREVERFic I wish you were signed in to your actual account, but really thanks for the support I appreciate it.
Anyway moving on, cheers a slightly longer chapter. Enjoy
Chap. 7 Sunrise

I could feel her breath on my face as she leaned closer. My heart was pounding so hard against my chest I was worried she could hear it. This is it I thought. Its finally gonna happen.
A faint noise coming from behind Brittany startled me. My eyes shot open. I stared into those magical blue orbs. She gave me an apologetic smile, huffed and reached for her back pocket as we pulled away.
Her phone screen lit up and her expression immediately changed. I could see a flash of shock and sadness in her eyes. Her lips were pressed into a tight line and it looked like she was debating on answering.
"Britt I can g—" I tried to say but she cut me off
"No!" she blurted. "No, stay" she said a little more stabilized. "Just… give me a minute"
I nodded and shifted awkwardly as she pushed on her phone and brought it up to her ear.
"Hello" she sounded scared. I could hear someone yelling on the other end of the phone. I couldn't make out the words but it was definitely a male voice.
"Um… Taylor, can we not do this right now, its late…and I—" She stopped mid sentence as the voice grew louder. Wait Taylor? Who was Taylor? and why was she letting him talk to her like that. I snapped out of my thoughts when she moved causing my hand to slide off her lap.
Her back was now to me and she was whispering things into the phone. I could see that her back rose and fell at a fast pace. A soft sob escaped her lips.
I wasn't thinking anymore all I knew is that the beautiful girl in front of me was crying and I didn't know why, but I needed it to stop. I pulled her around so she was facing me now. Her head snapped up and her wide eyes met mine. She had tears pooling around her eyes.
"You're so stupid!"
The phone fell from her hand and a single tear drop escaped her eyes. Without even thinking about what I was doing or personal space what-so-ever I pulled her towards me and wrapped my arms around her. I felt her burry her face in the crook of my neck as her sobs became louder. Pulling her impossibly closer I whispered
"Shhh, its going to be ok"

Why was he telling me these things? He was yelling at me over nothing and I was just letting it happen. So stupid. My thoughts where so full of Santana for the past days I hadn't even thought about him. I felt frozen, like all I could do was sit there, trying not to let my emotions get the best of me.
My mind stopped racing when I felt her turn me around. Her eyes instantly finding mine, I couldn't take it anymore. The tears were coming and I knew it.
"You're so stupid!"
The words ran through my head again and again. This was the second he said it to me. I couldn't believe the amount of anger in his voice. I didn't even notice the phone fall from my hand or the fact that I was crying now all I knew was that I was pressed up against Santana, and I couldn't of felt better.
My body relaxed instantly against hers, I finally let go. We sat there for a while, me crying into her neck while she whispered things into my hair and rubbed comforting circles on my back.
"Its okay Britt-Britt, it's gonna be okay" It was only when she pressed a soft kiss in my hair that I looked up. Her eyes looked sad and worried. Hesitantly she brought her had up to run her thumb over my cheeks, whipping at the tears that had now stopped.
"I… I-I'm sorry s-sant-tna" I chocked out.
"It' just that…I…He" I started to sob again and my words got caught in my throat. Tears were pooling around my eyes. She pulled me close again.
"Shhh, you don't need to talk, I can wait." She started tracing invisible patterns on my back again. I had never felt safer than in her arms

"Hey look there!" I pointed to the left side of the building in front of us.
"Holy sweet hell, is that the sun?" She shifted a little making my head move from where it rested on her shoulder.
I chuckled at the way her eyes grew wider. "Yeah I guess we sorta stayed out here all night huh"
"Yeah" the faint sun made her eyes shine. She looked beautiful. And the way she smiled, I could watch her forever.
I stretched awkwardly when I realized I was staring. She smiled and leaned closer, returning to out original position.
"So um… I guess you want to know about earlier?" I said in more of a question.
Her head snapped in my direction. "Look, you don't have to explain anything, you can tell me whenever you want." I moved my head from her shoulder so I could look at her. I saw nothing but honesty in her eyes.
My eyes shifted towards her hand. It was resting on my lap. I wanted to hold it. I wanted to tell her thank you, tell her everything that was going on in my head. But why couldn't I? I was scared. Scared to lose what might end up to be something great. I didn't want to scare her off.
I brought my hand to lay next to hers and loped our pinkies together, and gave them a slight squeeze. I looked back up when I felt her squeeze back. Again I was greeted by caring eyes, a shy smile on her face.
"You know I think, you just became my best friend." She let out a huff of laughter.
"Yeah you too Britt"

We sat there watching the sunrise, pinkies interlocked, bodies close together. I swear I never felt more at peace. The sun made her blue eyes seem impossibly bluer. It was like seeing the sun rice over the ocean, she was breathtaking.
"What is that?" There was a beeping noise coming from the other side of her window. She turned her head back to look towards it. Her brow furrowed.
"Hmm, must be 6"
"You have classes? But it's Saturday?" I asked a little disappointed that our little time together might be over.
"No, I usually go for a run at this time" She said with a yawn. I mentally slapped myself for sounding so stupidly desperate.
"Oh" I said standing up. "I guess I should go back, you know sleep and stuff" She got up after me and now we were standing very close to each other due to the limited amount of space on the fire escape. Not that I minded anyway.
"Yeah I… me too" She said motioning to her window. Why was I evading it? I knew what I wanted to say, just say it Lopez.
"Do you wanna.. maybe grab lunch latter?" The words barely made it out of my mouth before I was already regretting asking, why would she say yes? God, so stupid. I was surprised at the way her eyes lit up, even after being red and puffy underneath from the crying she still managed to look past her sleep to smile.
"Yeah, I'd like that. How's 2?" My stomach flipped at her words, I couldn't believe after what happened- well, almost happened last night she still wants to see me.
I couldn't help the grin that spread on my lips. "Yeah, that sounds great. Here let me give you my number" she handed me her phone and I typed it in.
"Text me whenever you're ready" I said giving the phone back to her, she took it but her hands linger on mine.
I wasn't ready for what happened next. She moved and pressed a soft kiss to my cheek, letting her lips stay there more than necessary. He mouth moved closer to my ear and she whispered
"Thanks, for everything." I stood there with a dumbfucked expression on my face. All I could do was nod. She pulled away and I could see the pink tone to her cheeks and the sly smile oh her lips.
"See you at 2" and with that she swung her legs to the other side and disappeared through her window.
A/N: Ok so next chapter soon, tomorrow the latest. It's a fun one I promise. And we will find out a little more on Santana's background.
