CHAPTER 10
"I'm going now San!"
"Have fun dancing, B"
The doors of the mansion opened then shut. Santana was left alone at the mansion, the others were out, having a day off. But she remained in the living room, filling all the paper work.
After a few hours passed, she was getting lazy.
"Ugh! How much more?" she yelled to no one.
She threw her hands in the air then back down in frustration. She stared at the mountain of papers then sighs. She gets up and heads to the kitchen. She takes some bread and starts the coffee machine.
Santana stares at the machine until it was done and gladly poured some coffee to a cup. She walks back to the living room and sat down again. She just sat there, not moving. A cup of coffee on her right hand. She was thinking about a lot of stuff.
Mom.
Dad.
Work.
Puck.
…
Brittany.
She didn't know why she thought about the blonde so much. They were just friends, right? They would watch movies and snuggle from time to time but that's what friends do, correct?
The Latina sighs and sips from her coffee. She didn't want to admit it, but she had to. She had feelings for the blonde, even though it's just been 2 weeks. She shook her head
"I must be drunk"
Santana chuckles a bit. She knew she wasn't drunk, she just drank coffee after all! But she needed an excuse, and excuse with what she was feeling right now.
Santana sighed.
There was no excuse. She's in love with Brittany S. Pierce.
Santana looks down to her lap and frowns.
"How am I going to tell her?"
"Tell her what?"
Santana jolted and threw her cup of coffee to the floor making it spill. She jumped out and looked at the person
"Q-QUINN!" she yelled
"Calm down Santana"
Quinn walks to the broken cup and stained mat
"More work for us if you keep doing this" she stares at the Latina then picks up the mat
"I'll come back to pick up the glass. Don't step on it okay?"
"I'm not a baby anymore! Anyways what are you doing here? I thought you left with the others"
Quinn folds the mat then walks out
"I didn't want to go to the park" she replies
Santana walks with her to the laundry area. Quinn drops the mat into a bucket of water then picks up some clothes
"So who did you mention?"
Santana gulps "What do you mean"
"Come on Santana, you know what I mean"
Santana looks back at the door then closes it
"Are you sure we're alone?"
"The others are out, so yes"
Santana takes a deep breath then looks at Quinn
"Can you keep a secret, Quinn?"
"Depends"
Santana glares a bit then the blonde laughs
"I'm just kidding, so what is it?"
Santana takes a moment in silence
"Remember our conversation about Puck?"
"Yes I remember"
"Well, you told me that something happened that made me change the feelings I have towards Puck"
"Are you going to tell me what happened? Did he hit you? Kill your mom?"
Santana shook her head
"I'm in love with someone else"
Quinn's eyes widen then stare at the Latina's brown eyes
"Okay, with who?"
"Wait, Im not done."
Quinn nods for her to continue
"I'm, I'm not sure if I love her or not. I just felt it, but.. I don't want to admit it"
"HER?" Quinn asks
Santana sighs then straightens her back
"Yes. It's a woman"
"Why not ask Britt for help? She had a girlfriend once"
"Well, I can't ask her that"
Quinn takes a moment to understand this comment then realizes what she meant. She quickly turns her head to the Latina and grins
"Oh my god, You like Britt"
Santana shrugs her shoulders and crosses her arms
"I don't know If I do, okay Quinn?"
"You don't know?"
"Yes. I'm not sure with my feelings yet"
"But, when did you start feeling this way for B?"
"Maybe the first time I saw her" she mumbles
Quinn chuckles a bit and Santana glares
"What?" she yells
"First time you saw her? Then you are in love with her, I mean love at first sight"
"But she's a girl, Quinn"
"She WAS bi-sexual Santana"
"But I'm not"
"You are now"
Quinn smiles at the Latina and walks forward
"Why not tell her?" she asks
Santana shakes her head forcefully
"I can't. Me and Brittany are bestfriends, I don't want to break our friendship"
"But what if she feels the same way?"
"She won't"
"How are you so sure?"
"Because she told me that she hated relationships, after she broke up with her girlfriend 2 years ago, she never had ever again"
Quinn pouts "That's no good"
"Hell yeah it isn't"
Quinn stays silent for a moment then looks at the Latina
"I have an idea"
"HUH?"
"I'll sleep over with her today, then you know have some girl talk, and let her drink a bit"
"Are you making her drunk?"
Quinn smirks
"Yes. Then I'll ask her about you, then maybe something good will happen"
"Maybe" she scoffs
Quinn rolls her eyes
"Just chill Santana"
"I told you Quinn, Im unsure with what I feel with Britt okay?"
"You'll be sure after today" she smirks
This time Santana rolls her eyes then leaves the room
"Does that mean, you approve of my idea?"
Santana stops walking and just waves her hand
"Do whatever you want, Q"
Quinn grins and continues to wash clothes
"Hey Britt!" Quinn yelled
"What is it Quinny?"
Quinn held up a few bottles of beer and smiled at the other blonde
"Wanna drink some?"
Brittany's eyes beamed up and left the couch where Santana was sitting
"Ohh! Let's drink San!" she yells to the other woman
Santana shakes her head and goes to the television, turning it off
"Sorry B. I'm kind of tired, I'm sleeping early right now"
Brittany frowns and Santana felt a knife stab her when she saw her like this
"Come on San"
Santana wanted to say yes until she saw Quinn glaring at her. She hated doing this to Britt, making her sad. But she had to, so that she could confirm her feelings
"S-Sorry B. I have work tomorrow, I really need my beauty sleep"
Brittany catches Santana's hand and looks at her hazel eyes
"But your already beautiful, San"
Santana blushes at this comment then looks away. Quinn knew she had to do something so she went in between the two girls and placed her hands on the pale shoulders of Brittany
"Come on Britt, let her sleep"
Brittany sighs then nods
"Alright, you go rest Santana, me and Britt are gonna drink a bit"
Quinn smiles at the Latina then quickly goes upstairs with an upset Brittany.
They enter the room and Quinn heads for the bed
Brittany follows and sits beside her. Quinn hands over a bottle and the other blonde happily takes it
"Let's have a great drink" she smiles
Brittany smiles weakly and pulls her bottle up
"Cheers?"
Quinn clinks her bottle to the other and grins
"Cheers"
Santana on the other hand was walking to her room, she stopped in front of Brittany's door and sighs once again. She continues walking to her room and opens the doors
She changes to some house clothes and settles in her bed
She looks up at the ceiling and hopes that the two blondes on the other room would have a satisfying drink
"He fucking knocked me up and that was the worst thing that's ever happened in my life!" Quinn blurted out, and Brittany nods lazily and fell off her bed.
Quinn laughs loudly and reaches her hand out to help the fallen blonde. Brittany grabs her hand and walks up, sitting on the bed again before collapsing.
"HAHAHA" Quinn laughs
"Give me another bottle" she mutters
Quinn gives another and remembers why she's doing this
"Hey Britt, why don't you want to have a relationship?"
Brittany turns her head and sits up, taking a long drink
"Because I don't want to get hurt"
"what are you talking about?" she mutters
Brittany knew she was drunk and she wouldn't be surprised if she accidentally told Quinn something crazy.
"I had a girlfriend 2 years ago" she mutters
Quinn stops drinking, she had to. If she wants to remember all this, she had to stop. Brittany on the other hand continues drinking
"I was so devoted to her. I loved her so much"
Quinn remains silent
"I .. I would do anything for her"
Still silence
"I was head over heels for her. I would wake up and walk to her house and spend time with her"
Quinn inhales and exhales
"I'd buy her anything she wants"
Brittany takes a drink of her bottle and begins to sob. Quinn sees this and crawls to her. She throws her arms around Brittany and gently rubs her back. The taller blonde was crying openly now
"Shh" Quinn whispers
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have"
"No, its okay Brittany, I can see how much you loved this person"
"I did! I fucking did!" she sobers
Quinn remains silent and tries to calm her down
"But the next day, I was supposed to go to New Jersey to visit some relatives but my plane was cancelled so I wanted to surprise her by visiting"
Brittany stopped, and Quinn had to speak up
"What happened next?"
Brittany cries and sobs
"I went in and saw her and another woman in the bed"
Quinn remained silent
"I don't know why she could this to me! I didn't do anything wrong"
Quinn continues rubbing her back, then shoulders,
"I couldn't believe my eyes, but the worst part was.. I found out she never loved me"
Brittany's eyes were swollen and red from crying. She didn't care if she was drunk, she told Quinn everything
"She even told me to leave because I was disturbing them"
Quinn's eyes just widen
"She said that?" she questioned
"Y-Yes"
Brittany cries, not letting the tears stop
After a while, Brittany calmed down and looked at Quinn
"I guess your thinking Im a sore loser, right?"
Quinn shakes her head
"No, I never thought that."
Brittany just sniffs and turns to hug the other blonde
"I was so hurt Quinny"
"I know, I know"
"I, I don't want to experience this kind of thing anymore" she cries out
"I know I know"
"Quinny"
"yeah?"
"Why didn't she love me back?"
Quinn stays quiet for a few minutes then answers
"She was blind Britt, she didn't see how much you loved her. But who cares? She doesn't deserve you. You deserve better"
Brittany laughs a bit then smiles
"Thank you Quinny"
"For what?" she chuckles
"I needed this. Talk"
Quinn lets go of her then smiles
"I'm glad you told me this, B"
Brittany smiles back and lies down on her bed
"I need San" she blurts out
Quinn arches an eyebrow, surprised by the sudden announcement
"What do you mean?"
"I want her beside me right now" she pouts
Quinn smiles sweetly, and lies down beside the tall blonde, stroking her blonde hair
"Why B?"
Quinn feels bad for what happened to Brittany's past, but she had to get back to her job
"She's warm, I need her"
Quinn smiles and hugs the blonde
"I'm warm"
Brittany giggles a bit
"You are, but I really want San, Quinny"
Quinn smirks "Say Britt" she started
"Yes?"
"Do you, you know … do you like Santana?"
"Of course I like San"
"I mean, do you like like her?"
Brittany didn't get the question so Quinn had to rephrase it
"are you in love with her, Britt?"
Brittany laughs a bit and turns her body around to face Quinn
"Why do you say that Quinn? She's my friend" she replies
Quinn shrugs her shoulders a bit
"I dunno, its just lately you keep talking about her, staying with her"
"Isnt that what friends do, Quinny?"
"But to me, you look like your in love with her Britt"
Brittany blushes a bit and pouts
"I cant be" she replies softly
"You can't be what?"
"I cant be in love with her Quinny"
"and why not? She loves you too you know!" she says, and immediately covers her mouth
"What?"
Quinn's hands still covered her mouth
"Quinny?"
Quinn doesn't flinch. Brittany pouts and glares at the other blonde
"Quinny, what did you mean by 'she loves you back'?" she asks
Quinn sighs and closes her eyes. She opens them again and removes her hands
"She loves you"
"san?"
"Yes. She told me a while ago, but she was unsure"
"unsure?"
"She didn't know if she loved you for real or not"
"what?"
"she's confused with her feelings for you"
Brittany wasn't that drunk anymore so she sighs and looks back at Quinn
"I'm kind of tired with all the drinking and talking, so is it okay if we call it a night, Quinny?"
Quinn smiles a bit
"Sure, Britt"
Quinn kisses her pale forehead and sits up, grabs the empty bottles and walks away
She stops at the end of the door and looks at Brittany
"Santana might say that she's unsure about loving you, but for me Im pretty sure she's head over heels for you Britt, I'm not lying"
Brittany remains silent
Quinn doesn't leave
"And Brittany, you love her too. You know that. You want her Britt. But, you're afraid. Afraid of getting hurt"
Brittany doesn't stir, but she sinks all the words Quinn told her into her head
"Sweet dreams Britt"
Quinn leaves and Brittany remains there, hugging her pillow. She sobs a bit,
"I am afraid, Quinny" she replies to no one
"I'm so scared" she cries to her pillow
She remains on her bed, crying for maybe the whole night.
Quinn throws the bottles in a trash can and enters her own room. Her head aches from all the beer she drank and also all the drama. She lay on her bed and thought about her past, what she was afraid of.
And just like Brittany, Quinn doesn't think she'll be sleeping tonight.
Everyone is downstairs, except for Quinn and Brittany.
They sit on the dining table, waiting for someone to give them their breakfast. Sam argues first, getting a bit annoyed
"Where's Quinn? I'm hungry"
"She must be tired. She did all the laundry yesterday" Rachel pouts, remembering it was her job to do the laundry
Jesse agrees with Rachel, and stands up
"I'll cook something up" he suggests, but was too late because Quinn entered the kitchen and everyone stared at her
"Quinn, you look…"
"horrible?" she finishes
"No, you look like you had a bad night" Sam corrects
Santana looks at the blonde, wondering why her eyes were so red, and she had dried up drools all over her mouth, also the fact her hair was messed up
"Quinn, what's wrong?" Santana asks, standing up
Quinn doesn't answer and the Latina walks closer
"Did something happen last night?" she whispers to her ear
"We just talked and drank a lot" she mumbles
"Where's B?"
Her question was soon answered when another blonde entered the kitchen. She was as worst as Quinn, her hair was frizzing out from every side, her eyes were red, she had huge eye bags, messed up clothes, and her cheeks were dried with tears
"Brittany, did you cry last night?"
The blonde takes a seat and looks at Rachel with a straight face
"I don't know"
"Why are you like this?"
"Me and Quinn were drinking last night"
"Did you cry?"
"I don't remember" she replies
Santana still stares at the pale blonde then looks back at Quinn
"You have some explaining to do"
"I'll tell you later, Santana" she sighs
Santana just nods and returns to her seat
