Chapter 8

"Ooh, hmm

Here in the silence I say a prayer

Though I've never seen you somehow I know you're there

You're in the faces of the people that I meet

You're as silent as the Earth beneath my feet

So if I should complain that all I have is not enough

Forgive me; I've been given so much"

Mercedes starts to sing the song softly moving her hand in time with the piano before building up to the next part when Quinn starts to take over belting out the first few words making me smile, we harmonize backing her up. My eyes however are still locked with blue.

"And I am blessed, every time I look into my baby's eyes

I think of all the friends who've touched my life

I realise in a world where some have more and some have less

I have love and I am blessed"

I am still looking into blue eyes while Quinn and I sing the next lines of the songs.

"So many changes this world can put you through

Sometimes it's hard to find a way if a heart can get confused

But then I hold you and it all falls into place

You've given me what time cannot erase

So when I'm feeling down or feel sorry for myself

I look around and it's easy to tell"

I feel a hand wrap around mine and for the first time since the song started I break the connection with Brittany eyes to look across to Quinn who is look at Rachel I quickly move my eyes to Puck and mike who give me a smile. I take over singing the next lines while the girls sing back up for me. As I sing the last line I belt out the last note looking start at Brittany.

"That I am blessed, every time I look into my baby's eyes

I think of all the friends who touched my life

I realise in a world where some have more and some have less

I have love and I am blessed"

I close my eyes while the girls sing a few lines while I catch me breathe I then take turn with Mercedes belting out notes every now and then until we all sing the last few words together.

"Every time I look into my baby's eyes

I realise I think of all the friends who touched my life

And I am blessed (I am blessed)

Every time I look into my baby's eyes (I look into your eyes)

I think of all the friends who have touched my life

I realise (I realise) you've given me such peace and happiness

In this world where some have more and some have less

I am loved

And I am blessed"

As the song comes to a close the whole choir room are on their feet clapping for us. I quickly move may gaze around the room. First to Rachel who is fighting back tears then I move my eyes to mike who is smiling proudly at us. My gaze wonders over to Puck who looks like he is actually crying. I chuckle to myself before returning to the blonde in front of me who is smiling widely at me. Mr Shue stands up before talking.

"Well done girls. So are we all agreed that this song we will use as a sectionals song" Everyone nods in agreement. I return to my seat as soon as I sit down I am attacked by two muscular arms that belongs to Puck. I shake my head before pushing the boy off of me. I hear Mike and Brittany laughing because as soon as he lets me go he hugs Quinn making her chuckle.

At this moment in time I and sitting in the car heading over to my house with Brittany. I made sure that everyone will be out so it would be just me and Brittany. Earlier in the day I talked to Rachel because she always knows how to calm my nerves and she said just be myself and honest with the blonde. We pull up to the house in silence. I get out walking round the car to help her out I offer my hand and she takes it. I lead her to the house knowing that there are candles all around the room and food prepared. I open the door leading Brittany in. I hear her take a sharp intake of breath I quickly look round to see that her eyes are wide and her other hand is over her mouth.

"Come on you" I say as I lead her to the couch.

"You done all this for me San" she asks and I nod my head.

"There is something I need to tell you and I need you to promise me that you will hear me out" I tell her looking into her eyes.

"Of course I will Santana. You can tell me anything" she says while placing a hand on my thigh.

"So I guess I should start with how I feel about you. Brittany I feel very protective over you and I promise you here and now that I will never ever let anyone hurt you including me. I guess what I am trying to say is that I want you to be mine and no one else's. I want to be your girlfriend." I say look at her while playing with her fingers when suddenly her hand moves to cup my cheek before she whispers finally. She then moves into kiss me but I move backwards "Wait there more" I say before lowering my gaze to our hands. I take a deep breath before continuing "That being said there is something that is stopping me from acting on my feelings. Please just hear me out before judge me." I whisper "I am err I am not human. I am not moral" I say before look at her eyes and I see shock and concern in her eyes. "I haven't got a heartbeat, I am abnormally strong and fast, I rarely eat or drink human food. I am the most dangerous thing you will ever meet." I feel that her hand moves out of mine and she moves slowly away from me her eyes wide with fright.

"You're a vampire" she says before she stands and starts to walk backwards. "No you can't be. Not when I am starting to like you no" her head shakes from side to side. I slowly stand arms raised in the air.

"Britt please I won't hurt you I promised remember. You promised that you wouldn't judge me until you heard the truth." I take a step towards her and that when she turns and runs out the door. I don't chase her I just sink to the ground sobs ripping from my frame.

I don't know how long I sat here crying replaying the look on her face and her words. Not when I am starting to like you no. I was so distracted I didn't hear someone enter the house their footsteps walking into the living room. I hear a gush of wind just before I felt arms wrap around my body holding me close.

"Oh Brown" a familiar voice says. "Shhhhhh it okay just breathe babe just breathe" I try to take deep breaths. I knew who it was I knew it was Mike he always find me when I need someone. One of his hands pulls out his phone dialling a number before quickly saying she needs us and then closing the phone. Minutes later Puck rushes into the house coming straight to my side kissing my head. Mike pulls away making out phone calls. Puck just holds me whispering "It's going to be okay. I love you" over and over again. Quinn turns up next she cups my face before pulling me into a hug unlike the boys Quinn doesn't mutter a word. Ten minutes later I stop crying I stand up stretching before looking around. Someone put away the candles and put the food away. I look to the couch to see Puck sitting down with his arms open wide. I sit on his lap with his arms wrap around me before I put my leg on the rest of the couch Mike sits down next to us moving my feet into his lap before taking one of my hands in his. Quinn joins the group with Rachel in tow.

"What happened between you and B, Sanny?" I heard Puck say holding me tighter.

"I told her that I like her and I wanted to date her but there was something acting on my feelings. I told her that I haven't got a heartbeat and a few other thing before she filled in the blank." I take a deep breath before continuing. "She then said no you can't be. Not when I am staring to like you no. then I took a step toward her saying that I would never hurt her when she turned and ran." I was wiping a few tears away. I couldn't take the look they were giving me so I said I was going to bed and they muttered good nights.

I am currently sitting in a tree outside of Brittany's house looking directly in her bedroom. Even in darkness I can see that her whole body is shaking through tears. I try not to read her thoughts but they feel like their shouting at me. Not her I trusted her. After a few I like that I stop listening I just focus on watching her.

At some point of the night she falls asleep. My fears did come true she is in pain because of me. I tried to do the right thing but it just ended up with her hating me. I stay until the sun raises and I walk home to get change for school.

When I walk into the house I see Mike and Puck both waiting for me. I quickly walk to my bedroom using my vampire speed to change and be ready for the boys. I walk over to the mirror redoing my hair quickly before noticing that I needed make up but I couldn't be bothered today so I just grabbed my bag before walking out to me the boys.

"Where's Q" I ask trying to change to topic before they even ask.

"She already gone" Puck said as I walked to his car signalling I didn't want to drive.

The rest of drive this morning was quiet. I walk into school not bothering to wait for the boys. I get to my locker before either one of them walks into school. Puck walk in the other direction but Mike walks straight to me.

"We have a free this morning right" He said before I nodded. "Let's go to the dance studio then." He takes my hand before leading me down the hall. I see her before Mike does she looks beautiful. Her eyes meet mine then she quickly turns and walks in the other direction. I hang my head because she can't even look at me. I don't think Mike has seen her because he doesn't mention it or even think about it at all. We walk into an empty dance studio. He plugs in his iPod before pulling me into him to slow dance. We kept dancing until the bell rings. Not seeing or talking to the blonde is driving me insane. I don't know how long I can last until I give up hope.

Please don't hate me! I promise that Brittany and Santana will be back together in the next chapter. There might also be a bit of Brittany POV because I think some of you might what to know why she reacted the way she did. Santana's nickname is actually what I call one of my friends because she has beautiful brown eyes. More Brittana to come just be patient! Next chapter in a few days ( I hope).

I don't own Glee or the song used which is eternal – I am blessed.
